THE LAZY FIRST sAsEMAN.
He was Favored by Rain Until the Manager
Drowned Him Out.

The retired left fielder was telling the
story. "Hank MoGinnis," he said,
twas the greatest first baseman ever
seen. He could play the bag outer sight
when he was a mind to, but he was the
LATEST man in % counties, and he
didn't play no ball when he could git
outen it. He was allays turnin up with
O spiked foot or split thumb or some
thin of the kind, an ginorally made out
to lay off more'n half the time. The
summer we were playin in the Western
league we struck q manager who was
onto Hanks curves. He took him to
one side when the season begun an tol
him that he wouldn't stand no gratis.
He marked out to him that if ne didn t
play every day he would git laid off an
lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was
barred.
Hank, bein ..zier than ever that
year, was considerp' stirred up about
this. He didn't L,.-. no likin to play,
but he was hot after tho long green, an
he KEEP playin along an kicl1in like n
bay steer all tho time. Finally he got a
couple Of days lay Off an went to see
his mother so he said. He got back on
time an complained of being sick, but
the manager tol him e git inter tn
game or lose 20 cold plnnks, an he got
in. Mex day we couldn play. There
was big rain. JUS before the time
t. call the game on the day after that
they was another big rain.
IAN it went on like this fer straight
30 days. 1t would allays rain JUS be-
fore the game, whether we was home or
away. Hank he got fat loafin around
an was OH first rate terms with hisself.
Finally the manager had to let out some
of the men to reduce expense, an Hank
got the run. Then the rains stopped.
Now, what do you think that man done
SOS he could git his money without
workin? Seems he knew somethin about
rainmakin, an when he took that trip
home he got his chemicals together an
didn't do thing but make rain every
afternoon jus before the game. "-Buf-

Port Louis, Mauritius.

From the sea Port Louis has pictur-
esque and oriental aspect, but the streets
are less SO than one imagines. They are
wide and resemble those of Cape Town.
Numerous European shops also line their
fronts.
Lying behind the town is the Champ
de Mars. 1t is used as place of amuse-
ment, and opening into it are the streets
of Burbon and Corderie, while to the
left of the quays is the bazaar or market
place. IL is surrounded by an iron rail
ing, has several gates leading to the
principal streets and is divided into
two equal parts by Farquar street.
A broad avenue also traverses its en-
tire length, lined on either side by COW
cred sheds, where the wares are exposed.
Fruit stalls occupy the upper end, and
here is exhibited marvellous variety,
q collection that would make the fruit
sellers of the west mad with envy.
Plantains in great yellow heaps are side
by side with custard apples, alligator
pears, mangoes, pineapples and others
too numerous to mention. Mangoes are
the most esteemed by Europeans. The
lower market contains the butchers
shops, where fowl, fish and kid are
conspicuous ALI the Year Round.

Tho Perils of Pnliiics.

"My friend" said the candidate for
sheriff of Cheyenne, drawing one eyed
stranger close to his means of liveli-
hood. "do you want to make So easy to-
night?"
yep"
"All right. When Isay in my speech,
is there man among you who will de-
ny this statement?' you jump to your
feet in the rear of the hall and shout
YES, sir, will. You are liar, and L
can provo it!' and read from this clip
ping. Then will call you down and
make you ridiculous, but you will get
the V nevertheless. Is it go?'
"Nope."
"Why notf"

o year ago, and the candidate jumped
ON me so hard that the audience kicked
me out of the hall and rode me out of

The Mantle of Charity.

1t is the one garment the fashion of
which never changes, writes Ruth Ash
more in Ladies' Home Journal The
years may go and come, and yet she who
cloaks herself in this mantle is at once
happy herself and the giver of happi-
ness. In cut it never changes. 1t is al.
ways large and full, SO that it can en-
velop those who are unhappy and give
them warmth and comfort. Like the
cloak worn by the prince in the fairy
tale, it is invisible to all but those whose
eyes are made clear by faith. 1t is the
garment that l would like my girls to
wear. 1t is true that much patience and
much self denial are required before
this cloak is put on, as it should be, for
all time, but once assumed the amount
of joy to be got from it and the happy
heartbeats to the wearers of it cannot
possibly be overestimated.

$1,000 A SHOT.
1t Is Economical, After All, if Considered
Properly.

1t Is Economical, After All, IL Considered
Properly.
One thousand dollars shot is rather
expensive shooting, but when you come
to figure it out you will find that it is
not quite as much in proportion as 500
q shot under certain conditions The old
smooth bore cannon, short in barrel and
short in the breach, had to be trained
with the greatest patience and care on
the object aimed at, and if the 100
pound ball didn't land exactly where it
was intended it did very little harm.
With the big pneumatic gun at Sandy
Hook it is impossible to make miss.
You Just touch her off at 81, 900 per
touch, and If the projectile drops within
one.sixth of mile of where it was in
tended to drop there is immediate and
serious trouble and in all probability no
necessity for the expenditure of another
dollar ON that particular target. 1t costs
more to fire tho big Krupp gun than it
does our dynamite gun, but the execu-
tion bears no comparison. One hundred
gatling guns, fired at short intervals for
one hour, would cost $40, 600. Even if
the object shot at was within range the
shooting would not be one-tenth as eff
fective as the shooting Of tho Sandy
Hook terror. New York Mail and Ex-

Girl Babies of Sicily.

In some parts of Sicily the birth of a
girl is looked upon as such a misfor-
tune that black flag is hung out the
window to proclaim the sad event. Hav.
ing to be supported by the family as
long as they are unmarried, and being
obliged to dover the bridegroom, they
are looked upon as expensive luxuries.
Boys, on the other hand, are very soon
self supporting, and when the time
comes for marrying increase the family
wealth by bringing home bride and
her dot. The girls live in seclusion, are
most kindly treated, and at the age Of
IA or 10 they are disposed of in marriage
on a purely financial basis. New York

A Shrewd Dog,

A gentleman once stopped his gig at
the door of a shop. Entering the shop,
he left the dog on the seat Of the gig.
The horse took fright at something and
bolted off down the street, dragging the
reins on the ground. The dog at once
jumped down and seized the reins in
his teeth. Although he was pulled along
for some distance, he kept pulling
against the runaway horse till he man
aged to bring it to standstill. .-Fami-
