 During these days of spring moving tho crowd at the SaS office is a tired out, ill tempered mass of waiting patrons. The people either want the gas cut off or the gas turned on, or perhaps they wish to make final settlements and redeem their deposits. Tho men state their business in a jiffy and get away. Tho women get so befuddlcd that after a two minute C0nVCT- sation with the clerks they can't tell their own names One babyiSh looking bit of femininity in n new spring hat and a tailor made gown awaited her turn at the win dow. After half an hour or so she planted her elbows on the sill and said, 'Wr'Ne moved away from where We used to live, and won't you please attend to the gasp "What's your namc?" grumblcd the clerk
 She gave il, then addVtl: But haven t anything to do about the gas bills. It's my sistcr-in- laws house.
 "What's her uanlc:"
 "Why, the same as lnino, of course. Anybody with any sense would knew that. She married my brother, John Henry"
 A long battle about addrcss>s Cumo next, after which the nearly faggcd out clerk fcebly rcmarkcd, Have you the re ccipt for your dcposit?'
 The girls face showed blank ignorance. ''Thc what" she asked.
 ''Thc receipt for the deposit"
 ''Oh, you mean that piece of yellow pa- per with gas company on the top No, of course l haven't it. I'm not a desk. Besides think did my bangs up on that last night.
 Some benevolent individual ought to found an institution for ovcrworkcd and disabled gas clerks. It's not surprising that they occasionally lose their minds. It would be surprising if they didn't. con sidcring what they have to cudurc.-Chi- cago Record.

"Macallister McIlhcnny, defy you!'
 These werc tho words shc said-this the expression in which her pcnt up feelings exploded.
 Macallister Mcllhcnny shook with fear or passion, or both.
 She had known him lung-hc was 6 feet 5 over all.
 She had known him short-hc was often broke.
 Yet she loved him, for women arc fear fully and wonderfully made-and she WAS a woman.
 And Mac?
 An, he was carrying caramcls to anoth- er party!
 Base, ungratcful wretch, why did he not send them by a boy?
 Give it up.
 Men are doccivers cvrr but women never
 And MacalliStCr McIlhenny was to blame, for he had lied to her rrpcatcdly in the gloaming, when they had first met, and he had given her hopes.
 Now she SAW him slipping from her grasp and it made her desperate indeed.
 It was thus that she had permitted her emotions to take the bit in their teeth and run away with her "MaCallistcr Nell hcnny, 1 defy you to propose to lno!'
 These wcrc her words. This was the cx- pression in which her pcnt up feelings cX- ploded.
 And MacallistCr McIlhcnny went out and sawed wood.-Dctroit Freo Press.

attest this fact In tho go innings of the three games only 30 hits woro made, 16 by the New Yorks and II by the Clevelands. The New York pitchers gave only 10 bases on balls and tho Clevelands 2.
 In strong contrast to these games were the two played ill Boston on Decoration day. Tho Bostons and Cincinnatis arc both weak ''in tho box" Tho result was that in those two games of Is innings the Bostons made B hits and tho Cincinnatis go, while 8 bases on balls were given. Yet neither team can equal the New Yorks or Clevelands in batting.
 Good pitchers this year arc scarcer than angels visits. Chicago, Philadelphia, Bos ton, Cincinnati, Brooklyn and Pittsburg would liko to find few. If wero out of a job, I would establish n pitchers acad emy and begin educating young men in tho science which puts Rusie, Nichols, Young and McMahon on n popular equal ity with tho president of tho United States and the author of Tho Heavenly Twins"

PITCHING TO WIN THE PENNANT.

 mous Author of "The Heavenly Twins"
 Decoration day, 1894, has gone on rec ord in tho history of baseball. It has al- ways been looked upon as tho part of the season when enthusiasm over the national galno is measured in the eastern cities just as tho Fourth of July furnishes a like gauge whereby to test the baseball pulse in the vest When the Players league made its start in 1890, the National league magnatcs prayed for rain all round tho eastern circuit on Decoration day. They knew tho fight was one of more enduring purse strings and that they held tho ad vantage in that respect.
 If it rains on Decoration day." they argued, tho Players league will not weather the season through. But should they havc good weather on that day they may fight it out to the last of tho season." Rain did not fall, and tho Brotherhood got enough money to tide it over.
 Decoration day this year, from a baseball standpoint, must be considered as a red letter epoch. On that day a new record was made It marks tho gathering of the largest pay crowd of spectators that ever met to a baseball game The place was the Polo ground in New York city The official size of the crowd was 24, 800. The largest attendance at any ono game prior to this was on Memorial day of last year at the same place, when a few moro than 23, 900 people were inside the spacious ground Thero wcre moro people at the old Polo grounds, near Central park, on Memorial day, 1886, but many thousands of them did not pay prico to see tho
