crensinE

crensing.
There Is a widespread interest in
baseball being aroused which bids fair
TO increase as the time for beginning
operations on the diamond draws near.
The TeNas-Southern Baseball League,
or which j. c. McNealus of Dallas Is
president, Is composed of the following
clubs: Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth
Galveston, Houston. San Antonio,
sherman and Shreveport. There never
was greater interest In baseball man
Tested In Fort Worth. The personnel
of the club has not been fully deter
mined yet. Y. =. Richards is manager.
Fort Worth will enter the season with
strong team. however. and Mr..
richards Will endeaVOr to keep his
club abreast Of the foremost. Ted Sui
Ivan, a brother OF the famous slugger.
Will manage the Dallasltes.
They are already picking out mick
names" for the clubs. The Austlns are
called the Beavers" because their
park is near the big dam; the Dallas
men are spoken of as the "Mosaul-
tos," because they are located in a
swamp; the Fort Worth's retain the
old title of "Panthers''; the Galvestons
viii fall heir either to sand Croba'
or the "Pirates," the latter because
OF the fact that they are at home in
LaFltts old retreat; the Houstons are
christencd the "Magnollas'; the San
Antonios are put down as the "AIls-
sionaries." in honor of the old mis-
sions surrounding their home city. the
Sherman's are spoken of az the "Or-
phans," since Sherman separated from
Denison, up to which time they Were
called the Twins" and the ''Slam-
ese;" the shreveports are denominated
the Red Men," because their home is

THE TEE-HEE GIL.

know a little maiden, but, really, on my word,
lou would sooner think this person was
TCe-hec bird.
For no matter what you say,
II it's sad or IL it's gay,
This silly maiden answers you with "Tee-he-
he"
With a 'Tee-he, tee-he, tee-hee-he"
She's quite pretty little girl, with bright and
smiling eyes,
And, in some things, understand that she Is
very wise.
But though she knows her letters.
Nomatter what her betters
Or her elders may remark to her, this little
maiden, she
Is sure to end her answer with a '"ree-he-he,"
With "Tee-he, tee-he, tee-he-he."
II you tell her that your pocket is just stuffed
all full of toys,
II you tell her you've headache and she must
not make q noise,
II you tell her she's your pride,
Or II you scold and chide,
II really is the same 70 her as far as can see,
For her answer is giggle with ''ree-hs-
he"
A "Tee-he, tee-he, tee-he-he."
I have heard this little maiden say that she
was very tired
I have heard her ask for lots OF things she
very much desired;
But to everything she uttered,
Or mumbled forth or muttered,
She tackled that senSeless giggle that is quito
devoid Of glee-
That foolish little habit OF "Tee-he-he,"
A "Tee-he, tee-he, tee-he-hel"
sometimes feel quite worried lest an elf of
whom I've heard
Should come along and change this girl into O
Tee-he bird;
When in all sorts Of weather,
With each curl turned to a feather,
She'd have to sit the livelong day alone upon q
. tree,
Just calling out TO folks below her: "Tee-he-
he"
Her "Tee-he, tee-he, tee-he-he."

The Great Secret.

There was man, l knew him well,
He owned a little store; :.
And he would have to stock it up
Three times year or more.
And when I'd ia e the paper up
would DE sure O see
His name and business well disp'd
As names and trade should be.
He had to build larger store,
For wider grew his fame,
Just like his trade, for unto him
The buying public came.
His rival said that trade was "dull'
And looked in sore distress,
And wondered if he let them know
The "secret of success"
He was the kindest hearted man
We had in all the town,
His genial face was like the sun,
1t never wore frown.
He met his rivals at the door
And took them by the hand;
He showed them thro' a crowded
store;
They coulden't understand.
I'VE handle all the goods you do"
The startled spokesman said;
But trade has drifed down to you,
With us it's nearly dead" 49,.
"Impart the secret of your trade"
The merchant smiled: 81 think
The anchor of the business man
Is labeled printers ink" ssg
