A Clever Player.

John j. Anderson, who has proven
such clever player since his connec-
ton with the Brooklyn Club, was born
Dec. II, 1878, at Worcester, Mass. and
learned to play ball at his native place.
His first professional engagement was
with the Worcester Club, of the New
England League. i'm 1899. He was re-
served by that club for the season of
1894, but was afterward released TO the
Haverhill Club, OF the same league,
taking part with the latter that year
In eighty-siX championship games and
ranked third in the official batting
averages Of that organization with n
percentage of .35i. His excellent work
with the Haverhlls attracted The at
tention of the officials Of the Brooklyn
Club, of the major league. and his re-
lease was purchased by the latter and
he finished the season with its team.
participating in sixteen championship
games after the transfer was made. and
had a batting average of over three
hundred per cent in the official aver
ages OF the major league, which was a
remarkably fine showing for his first
appearance in that organization. Presi-
dent Byrne was so well pleased with
his work that he decided to retain him
and give him every opportunity for de-
veloping himself. He batted well for
new conner, and although he appeared
to be rather awkward for an outfielder.
has overcome this weakness. and is
now looked upon as one OF the best
outfelders in the professional ranks.
He was re-engaged for the season of
1898, and participated in one hundred
and three championship games. all of
which were played in the outfeld. Up
TO Aug. 10, this year he had played in
the outiield. On that date, i'm a game

A DANGEROUS SONG.
"a Has Plunged One Manly singer Int
rrouoIe.

rrouoie
Miss Minnie Blough, of Rockford
has brought suit for breach OF promise
against Mr.. George NJ. Bennett, also OF
Rockford. Miss Blough estimates the
wear and tear OF her heart at $1,000
Mr.. Bennett declares he never asked
for Bloughs hand in marriage. and that
he is already engaged 10 another. Ii il
said that Miss Blough will produce as
evidence love songs which she and Mr..
Bennett were wont TO sing in unison
and presumably harmony. Two OF
these songs are: "Wilt Thou BE
Mine?" and Would That We Two
Were Maying Together"
Manageable men will watch this
suit with more than ordinary interest.
IL il has come TO pass that a young
gentleman cannot lift his rich tenor
voice with young lady's mellow So
prano notes without it being construed
as a proposal Of marriage the fact
should be known.
Still. there is some grounds on which
Miss Blough may proceed legally and
with the full thought that a suffering
people are with her. Without desiring
to prejudice the court or jury, we wish
to say that any man who will sing
wilt Thou Be Mine?" deserves the
severest sentence within the limit OF
the law. One-half OF the discomfort
felt in this country today and nearly all
the financial and business troubles un-
der which this country is webbing are
directly or indirectly due 10 that song.

A Glimpse OF Emerson.

Emerson might be seen on his way to
the postofilce precisely at $50 every
afternoon, after the crowd there had
dispersed His step was deliberate and
dignified, and though his tall, lean
figure was not symmetrical one, nor
were his movements graceful. yet there
was something very pleasant in the
aspect of him even at distance. The
same has also been said of good stat
uary, even before No know what is
It's subject. He knew all the people,
old and young. i'm the village. and had
a kindly word or smile for every
one of them. His smile was better
than anything he said. There is no
word in the language that describes
il. It was neither sweet nor sanity,
but more like what a German poet
called the mild radiance of the hidden
sun. No picture, photograph or bust
Of Emerson has ever done him JUS
tice for this reason. Only such a mas
ter as Giorgione could have painted
his portrait.-F. u. Stearns.

How She Crushed Cobra to Death
with Her Heel

4 few years ago my husband then
stationed in India, was struck down
by fever. and on me devolved the duty
OF watching him. Our bungalow lay at
some little distance from the barracks
and on the morning OF the day on
which we expected the crisis to occur
| was anXiously awaiting the doctors
visit. When he arrived, after taking
my husbands temperature. he would
not. he said. utterly forbid me TO hope.
for it was still barely possible that the
violence Of the fever might yet give
way 10 natural sleep. and recovery
might ensue. provided his slumber re-
NAMED unbroken. For some hours my
husband continued TO toss and moan
piteously. BY and by he passed into a
disturbed sleep. Seating myself at the
foot of the bed, | prepared to watch
till he woke.
An hour passed, when, opposite me,
through the veranda. | saw a large
hooded cobra come gliding into the
room. On it came, eleyating its hid
eous head and emitting kissing sound.
As the venomous creature passed me
the glare OF its eyes made my blood
run cold. Ii drew nearer and nearer
TO the bed: then, rearing up, appeared
TO be about TO insinuate itself in the
pillows that lay beside the bed. ! ad-
