The Pase Bell Girl.
From the Kansas Ctr star.

From the Kansas City Star.
She's a very swagger maiden, of figure rather
tall,
And she doesn't talk like other girls, but only
of base ball
She pert, and sometimes pretty, when she
speaks about the game.
And she thinks to be pitcher is the highest
need of fame.
She'll clap her tan gloved hands in glee to cheer
splendid hit,
And sometimes when her side has won shell
fiirt little Bit
But if you speak the love that does your foolish
heart euthrall.
She'll tell you you must Join a nine and study
to play ball
She talks of flies" and liners in manner
that is pat;
She can tell you in q minute who it is that's at
the bat;
She dotes on Keefe and Common and raves about
their curves"
And you'd really think she had been constructed
without nerves.
For she doesn't mind it if a foul comes spinning
TO her side;
She catches * and sends it back. and looks
quite satisfied.
She's up on ell the double plays and marks them
But she cannot keep score card, though she
makes a splendid bluff
Beware the base ball maiden and her fetching
She's deadlier than the summer girl that now in
ambush lays
She comes in with the spriugtime. and there's
mischief in her eye;
And though she doesn't look it, she's most in.

The odd Maid" Question Solved.

The professor of natural sciences at ann
Arbor was discussing the process of fertilizing
plants by means of insects carrying the pollen
from one plant to another, says the Detroit
Free Press, and to amuse them told how the oil /
maids were the ultimate cause of it all. The bum
bic bees carry the pollen; the field mice eat the
humble bees; therefore, the more field mice the
fewer humble bees and the less pollen and
variation of plants. But cats devour the field
mica and old maids protect cats. Therefore,
the more old maids the more cats, the fewer
field mice the more bees. Hence, old maids are
the cause of variety in plants.
Thereupon, a sophomore with a single eve
glass, an English umbrella a box coat, with his
trousers" rolled up at the bottom, arose an d
asked:
II sa-a-y ,professah, what is the cause-ah-o of
old maids, don't you know
Perhaps Miss Jones can tell YOU suggested
the professor.
Dudes said Miss Jones sharply and with
out a moments hesitation.
There was silence in the room for the space
of thirty seconds, after which the lecture was
resumed

There Is one thing upon which the people
of this city are agreed and that is that Sa-
vannah harbor must be deepened to twenty
six feet at the earliest possible moment. 10
do this an appropriation must be obtained
from this congress sufficient t. complete
the harbor improvement that has beeh
begun. And it ought not to be- very dIill-
cult to get such an appropriation Win 'ue
assistance OF the precedent when the last
congress made in the case Of Galveston
harbor.
Mr. Plant and the other gentlemen VINO
made an inspection of the harbor thursday
were thoroughly convinced that an immense
area Of SOU. bern aud western country would
be benefited to an incaculaole extent by
the deepening Of Savannah harbor to
twenty SIX feet. The harbor is now the best
that any comule5cial port on the South
Atlantic coast hos from Norfolk to Key West
1t accommodates vessels having a draft of
twenty-one feet. But that it not sufficient
to meet the demands Of Savannah's rapidly
growing commerce, which last year
amounted to Sl53 100000
The farmers in a dozen or more great
states would be helped Indirectly by deeper
uater in Savannah harbor, and if their at
teltlon is properly drawn to the matter
their Influence will be felt in behalf of an
appropriation which would give Savannah
the depth Of water she needs. Indeed, it
hos become an imperative necessity that
there shall be a commercial port on the
South Atlantic coast that will accommO-
GGta the largest class OF steamships. Savan-
nah, as stated, already has the best Of the
South Atlantic harbJrs and also by far the
largest commerce. and her commerce is
steadily inc easing. She is certain TO be
the terminus OF several more railroads in
the very lear future which, together with
the great ra'lroad systems which now have
their terminals within her limits, will swell
her commerce to twice its present proper
tons.
The first thing TO be done is to Impress
congress with the necessity for giving Sa-
vannah deeper water. This can be easily
done If the business men 90 about it in
the right sort Of way, and are earnest and
persistent they Will find no trouble in get
ting assistance. The region of country
partly or wholly dependent upon Savannah
for the expectation Of its products Is i'm
mense, and the whole of 1t can be 50 aroused
that it will exert an active influence in be-
half of the object desired. The business
men Of Savannah, however, must 60 to
work systematically and with the deter
minatiou that they will not fall.
A plan Of action has been mapped out,
and If those who are willing to act as man
ayers and directors are properly supported
il can be safely predicted that congress will
grant all that Savannah asks. But there
must be no lack of enthusiasm. Only united
action and persistent effort will win success.

Journalists in the Crescent city have not
in great while had such an old-fashioned
duel with rapiers as recently occurred be-
tween the editors of La Mascot and Tor
Leanais just across the Louisiana line. Only
one participant was injured. But that was
rather serious thrust beneath the eye AS
Editor Bouby escaped injury it is only
natural to assume that Editor Carruthers
was less skillful with the weapons. AT all
events rapiers are not quite so dangerous as
derrinRers.

"Get right with God" is the pious motto
found over the door leading to an Arkansas
thiefs treasure den in garnet. Since the
religious, but not particularly rhetorical,
thief has been arrested he will have to get
right with the government about lot of

sanctimonious sign. After that he will

where. Possibly good deal of his spare

Taken from an Old Graveyard Near
Rochester.
From the Rochester Union and Advertiser.
This one is modest:
Nv boldly to the grave give.
My soul TO God hope Is fled:
When this MY children
You do see, remember me.
This on a child's grave is not without
pathos:
This lovely bud so young and fare,
Cald hence by erly doome.
Just caught to show how sweet flower in
Paradise would bloom.
This one also preser yes the phonetic
method:
Youth like morning -four,
Cut down and withered in an hour.
Notice the unexpected word-division in
these;
To worlds C. sperits am gone,
And left my friends beb-
ind to mourn.
My body lies here in the dust,
My soul is stationed wi
tn the blest.
Hark, my gay friends, 50 you my voice has
been,
Refrain from folly and forsake your sin:
Still from the dead fam would send my cries,
Trust in the Savior, don't his grace desI ise.
This one is as good as any l have seen:
A thousand ways cut short our days.
None are exempt from death;
A honey-bee by singing me
Did stop my mortal breath.

Nothing dignifed about the black Sultan
of Zanzibar. When his horses run away he
precipitately jumped from the carriage and
literally fell all over himself in the Zanzibar
streets. When fshed out of the gutter he
was greatly bedraggled and bruised and
panic-stricken ruler, apparently ready to
run on the slightest provocation, and com
pletsly bewildered with uncertainty as to
what nit him. Clearly the Sultan of Zan-
zibar has not very full control of his nerves.
That's the only thing about him that Is
clear.

Respectable citizens who die suddenly in
the big towns nowadays frequently leave
entirely too many widows. Monopolizing
the feminine population in that way
isn't right. Besides it makes trouble
about dividing up the estate. Il
is generally very hard to convince
these better quarters and eighths that the
other fractional portions OF the decedent's
domestic arrangements ought to get any of
the surviving plumber. 1t is hard enough
to settle with surviving better half with
out reducing the post norton calculations

walks between Farm buildings.

The grounds about most farm-houses
are poorly supplied with walks. Some
times there Is no way to approach the
house from the street or TO go from the
house to the well or farm buildings, eX-
cept to travel over ground that Is not
covered with turf. During a large por-
tion of the year, and especially In the
winter, IL is necessary TO pass through
mud or snow. As u consequence damp
feet are among the penalties attached to
passing out of the house during unpleas-
ant weather. OF course, IL is very diff
cult to keep the floors OF adMelling clean
through mud every time they go out
There should be good walks leading
from the street to the entrances to the
house, and to the we'll and the various
out-buildings. They not only promote
comfort but save large amount OF work
In taking care of the house. Very good
and serviceable walks may be made by
mailing plank TO scantlings placed on
edge. The walks may be from two TO
three feet wide, according TO the width
of the planks. Walks constructed In this
manner are easily kept free from snow,
as they NAV be swept of as often as is
necessary. The only objection to them
is the difficulty i'm driving across them.
This difficulty may be obviated by rails
ing the driveway for teams or by plac'
ing inclined planks or timbers against
the sides of the walks. Good walks may
also be made of fiat stone or gravel con
fined between pieces OF timber. To pre-
vent the timbers from spreading they
should be fastened together at suitable
distances by means of cross-pieces. Th'
gravel should be clean and the surface
of the walk should be slightly rounded
so as to carry off water.
