TCNNELToN, W. VA. May 10Th,
1892. This afternoon was very
exciting time in Tunnclton. The
Mt. Etna Base Ball Club, who are
as famous as the great action noun
tain from which they get their
name, made their appearance in
Tunnelton TO show the Tunnelten
Club how to play ball. The regu-
lar club not being fully organized
could not play, so the genial DR..
Sivey, aftor getting over his excite
mont and medltaling for q few
moments trom sizing up the captain
and the fiery At. Etna team, pulled
himself together aid called around
him the small boys. Being a very
enthusiastic ball player and a great
favorIte with the boys, he soon had
a clHb Of the knee brooches size or
ganized for the ball ground to meet
the fiery Mt. Etna team. The Mt.
Etna club was a little noisy, as
they were all men and thought it a
small matter to do up the little
boys. The Doctor organized the
boys and stepped to one side and
looked on the famous left. handed
pitcher and captain Of The fiery Mt.
Etna team who famed the air three
successive times during the game
and gave some instructions about
rules. The game was called; Mt.
Etna to the bat and the boys in the
field. The score was very close an.
til the seventh inning, when Siyey
stepped close to TIE diamond and
began to encourage the boys quietly,
speaking very low to them to get
down TO business. The boys with
out saying a word, gave the smiling
Doctor a willing nod that all was
right. They went to the bat and
began TO pound the leit-handcd
pitcher and you could hear the
Doctor quietly encouraging the boys

WHATYOUNG MEN sHoULDLEARN
Truths That May Decrease the Size OF
Some OF their Heads.

Here 10 a story from the Phlda-
deiphia Times that sounds very
much like Robert j. Burdettc, al
though that is only guss
Remember, son, that tic world
is older than you are by sc, oral
years, that for thousands of years it
has been so full Of smarter, better
aud younger men thar yourself
that their feet stuck out of the
dOrmcr windows, but when they
died the old globe went Jogging
along, and not one person in ten
million went to the funeral, or even
heard OF their death. BE as smart
as you can, Of course. Know as
much as you can without blowing
the packing out of your cylinder
heads. Shed the light Of your wis
dom abroad, but don't dazzle peo-
pie with It. And don't imagine "A
thing Is so, simply because you say
it is so Don't be too sorry for
your father because he knows so
much less than you do. The world
has great need of young men, but
no greater need than the young
men have of it. Your clothes tit
you better than your fathers fit
h'm-they cost more money; they
are more stylish; Your moustache
rs heater, the cut of your hair is
better and you are prettier, oh, far
prettier than pa But stop
moment, young man and reflect.
The old gentleman gets the biggest
salary and his homely, sciam bling
signature on the business end of II
check Will drain more money out
of the bank in five minutes than
perhaps your handsome autograph
can do during the balance of your
mortal life. Young men are useful
and they are also ornamental, and
we all like thom-but they are no
novelties, son-oh, no, nothing Of
the kind; they have been here be-
fore. Don't be so modest as to
shut yourself clear out, but don't
be so fresh that you will have to be
put away in cooler to keep from
spelling. Don't be afraid that
your merit Will not be discovered.
People all over the world are lock-
ing for you, and il you are worth
finding they will find you.
