PHUFEH POSITTON OF THE HAND.
The time will never come when q
good, plain hand writing will not be in
demand. Notwithstanding the fact of
Type writing, reporting machines and
systems of stenography, more pens have
actually been sold this year than the
year before. Business men who en-
ploy clerks are moro exacting than ever
as regards plain writing. Ornamental
strokes, fancy flourishes and shaded
stems are out of date, but plain, even
hand is in demand now and always will
be. . 1t is becoming the style even for
intellectual folk and editors to write
legibly, and the legal papers of the oft
disparaged Philadelphia lawyer can
now be deciphered without an eye-glass.

COPY SLIP A.
Good writing is the result of intelli-
gent, continued practice.
The movements used in writing are.
those of the arm, hand and fingers.
Ordinary writing requires all of these,
with that of the arm as the central
propelling force.
Poor writing as rule is what is
called finger writing.
Learning to write well therefore,
means to train and discipline the arm.
Without the arm movement there is
no really good writing.
The position of the hand and the
manner of holding the pen are shown
by the cut.

Use good, freely flowing black ink.
Fine pointed pens are best for prac-
tice. .
Use a good quality of foolscap paper.
Cultivate the habit of neatness.
Lack of neatness is the main cause Of
poor writing.

The Orioles Turned the Tables on
the Bean Eaters Yesterday,
Winning the Second Came in the
Temple Cup Series - The Ball
Was Slugged Throughout the
Game Batting Averages OF
Local Western League Players.
Other Sporting Matters.

Boston, October 5.-The second game
in the Temple cup series was like the
first, distinguished by the terrific bat
ting by both mines, but to-day Balti-
more came out ahead through their
ability to get in the hits when they were
most needed, while Corbett, though hit
hard, held the home team down at criti-
cal times. The game was much more
interesting and exciting that that of
yesterday, and the home team was very
much in it up to the last inning, when
they fell down woefully, though one
safe hit would have tied the score. No
ground rules hindered long hits and the
players getting the full worth of their
drives ran the bases daringly without
fear Of being called back. This added
not little to the game and delighted
the crowd beyond measure.

HAD TO RAVE A RECORD

So the Bicycle Novices Friend Helned
Him to One, in Which He Takes Great
Satisfaction.
They were leaning oven a table and in
dustriously studying lot of records. One
was novice and one had had experience
It's very simple matter when you
know how explained the one who had
had experience. ANY one who is half
way good on a bicycle can get a record Of
some sort. How else do you suppose so
many people could have records?"
The novice didn't know. He was a new
man in the club, and wouldn't care con-
tinental about a record If he didn't re-
aHze how Lonesome he would be without
one. Every man who rices a bicycle has
to have record when he reaches a GER
tain stage of the disease, and he general
ly reaches that stage shortly after Join
Ing a club. Hence the anxiety of the NO.
vice,
You've made your century run accord
ing to Instructions went on the man
who had had experience, land YOU have
taken the time for every mile of it. so
now it is merely a question of finding out
where you will fit in. OF course you don't
get the century road record, either paced
or unpaced."

enced rider That's a pretty hard thing
to get, because there are so many con-
stantly trying for it. We'd better begin
at the other end, anyway
He looked at the sheets of paper on
the table before him and shook his head.
You didn't come anywhere near the
mile record he said
L didn't expect to do that, either" said
the novice.
And you're even farther away from
the two mile record" continued the man
of experience; land the three-mile. and
the four-mile and the five-mile, and the
-mile-O, you're clear out of every
thing up to % miles"
That's only natural" argued the nov
ice. Il haven't had a bicycle but a year"
"Of course it's natural" returned the
other, "but that cuts no figure at ALL
You're after a record, and I'm undertake
ing to get one for you. All. here is is-26
miles. Unless this table is at fault YOU
can safely put yourself down as the 26-
mile champion of the world, paced and
unpaced.'
The novice sweled out about three
inches as he asked who had the next best
record for that distance.
There isn't any other record for that
distance answered the experienced rider
That's how you happen to get it, There
are a number who have made 30 miles in
less time than you made 26, but of course
that don't makes no difference. II it did

that he was at some No. house with a
