After the McCoimicks, of this
place and the Lassater Reds, of Ath-
ems had finished their game on the
Knoxville Ball Park last Friday aft
ernoon there were great holes where
the balls had burned their way on
ward and upward into the diaphan-
Gus bosom Of another sphere ofexist-
ence. Did McCulloch and Pat
Henry hit that ball? They fayed
it. 1t was awful the way those two
boys did lambast that ball. Every
time they went to bat they breathed
with passionate vehemence and
pined to jab the daylights out Of it.
Everybody on both sides batted, but
these two fellows every time they
came to bat rammed the ball into
the intangible elswhere. McCullOch

equally small legs fitted to the will

his great dewy eyes on the sphere
and rammed his bat down its throat

and was over the park fence. This
is the 2nd time such Il thing has ev-
err been accomplished on the Knox
vile grounds. Mr.. McCulloch de-
cided to avaunt. He did. He
avaunted clear around to home
plate. In Addition to this he has a
three Dagger, two Dagger and a
single to his credit. Mr.. Patrick
Henry (not the one of revolutionary
fame, Maryv.lle's crack center field
err sailed forth aud welted the ball
into the dim distance where the gold
en- crimson cloudlets seemed to lie
and dream. He pulled across the
home plate before the ball was un
tangled. In addition to this he als(
interfered with the ball at another
time to the tune Of three bases anC
two at another. But in spite of al
this the other fellows had the lucl

for the Maryville Club. The Knox

him:
each club had a mascot TIL
Athens mascot was as dark as mid
night on the Congo and wore a reg

Exasperatipr Days.

Aren't there some times in your life
when everything seems to go wrong no
matter how hard you try to have them
go right? Those are the trying days
when you want to blame all the trouble
on the way you got out Of bed in the
morning or on other people instead Of
looking the matter squarely in the face
and saying, tits one of my exasperating
days, and if I can only keep my temper
until night comes tomorrow will be diff
ferent."
The trouble is when we feel ruffled
ourselves we somehow impart the feel
ing to others, and nine times out of ten
we either get into quarrel or do some
ugly, horrid little thing that we wouldn't
think Of on other occasions. If you can,
on these hateful days, manage to think
twice before you speak once it will save
lot of worry on the morrow. In fact,
that is good rule to 60 by at all times,
for Of all the unruly, mischief making
members the tongue is the most prom
inent.--Philadelphia Times.

Friendships of Snakes.

There is a certain GOODNESS almost to
be called q positive want Of cordiality
between snakes and human beings.
More, the snake is never social favor
ite among the animals called lower. No
body makes an intimate friend of a
snake. Popular natural history books
are filed and running over with anec-
dotes of varying elegance and mendac-
ity, setting forth extraordinary affec-
ton and cooperation between cat and
a mouse. a horse and a hen, pig and q
cockroach, camel and a lobster, q COW
and wheelbarrow and so on, but there
is never snake in one of these quaint
alliances. Snakes do not do that sort Of
thing, and the anecdote designers imag
ination has not yet risen to the feat Of
compelling them, although the stimulus
of competition may soon cause it.
The case most nearly approaching one
of friendship between man and snake
known to me is the case of Tyrrell, the
zoo snakekeeper, and his GLADLY worms" {"
But then the friendship is mostly on
Tyrrell's side, and, moreover, Tyrrell is
rather more than human, as any one
will admit who sees him hang boa con
strictors around his neck. OF course
one often hears of boys making pets of
common English snakes, but boy is
not human creature at all. He is a
kind Of harpy.-Arthur Morrison in
Strand Magazine.

Disrobed In the Street.

There is young colored' damsel to

mary action taken by society woman
to whom she had been handmaiden.
With ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain the young woman proved her.
self conversant by making away with
articles Of value Among these was
silk dress of which her mistress had been
especially fond. Though accused of the
theft, the woman stoutly denied it and
took her dismissal, vehemently protesting
her innocence. Not long afterward, as
the daughter Of Ham was sailing down
the street in all the glory of the stolen
garment, she came upon her mistress
rapidly walking toward her with the
look of great purpose in her eye.
Retreat was impossible, as was fail

mand that she then and there divest

A PROMISING RIDER.

L. W. Erdman's Exploit In the Recent
Road Race.
Among the riders who rode for fame
on Tuesday in the great annual road
race to Santa Monica was one young
man who, though he was not among the
seven who landed inside of the hour, did
remarkably we'll, doing abe 1S4 miles
in hour, 10 minutes and 81 seconds.
Most of the boys who inten ded to get
away with one of the wneels, trained
hard; in fact. it has been said that
some of them slept on their wheels.
L. w. Erdman, known by all the
riders as Roy, never rode over the
course and failed to enter till the last
day, did no riding whatever to prepare
for the race, and had he ridden slower
to the halfway house Che rode there in
90 minutes) would have ridden the last
hslf better than he did. His time
would have been better had he not
cramped his leg at the Palms hill, hav.
ing to walk almost it's length.

Costly Gown, Poor Minister.

A sweet damsel of Baltimore is about
to be married to minister. She con-
fided to the Other One that her wedding
dress was "a dream"-satin at 81 yard
and $500 worth of duchess lace. "Only
fancy" observed the Other One reflect
lively to me, "only fancy that gown-of
course mean girl wearing such a
gown-married to an everyday common
preacher. OF course it isn't as if he were
bishop or anything like that, but an
unheard of person living in an unfash-
ionable part Of the city. Really, it is
very inharmonious. "Then why are
you going to the wedding?" "Why? Be

A Return to Capital punishment.

A great many people think it is pretty
bad business for the state to kill man
because that man has killed some one
else. They are quite right. It is very
bad business, and if any other procedure
could be devised capital punishment
would be abolished at once.
Michigan has given Imprisonment for
life fair trial. No criminal has been
executed In that state for nearly 30
years. It was, however, recently voted
by its lower house that the death penalty
be re-established-tha is to say, the
policy of leniency has utterly failed, and
1t is more than probable that Michigan
will again resort to the hangman's rope.
The people were startled one day by
the news that o life convict had murder
ed his keeper and made desperate push
for liberty. Then the question occurred
to every one at the same moment, "Why
shouldn't every life prisoner do the same
thing, since under the laws Of the state
no additional penalty is attached to the
crimer'
Such villain. when caught red hand
ed after second murder, is no worse
off than he was before he killed the keep
er. de was in for life anyhow, and
when arrested he will be in for life
again, but it is the same old life. If he
succeeds in escaping, that is SO much
gain, and if he fails he loses absolutely
nothing. The abolition Of capital pun
ishment is therefore an almost irresistible
incentive to kill prison official and
make dash for liberty.-New York

BILE story of the instinct of the feline
