ANsON WILL RETIRE.
Will Quit Managing the Chicago Club
The Western League.

CHICAGO, Dec. z. = The Record to-day
says: Adrian Anson's retirement from the
managership of the Chicago Baseball Club
has at last been practically decided on and
means found whereby 1t can be done sat
lsfactorily to all concerned. The veteran
player, captain and manager will be given
a berth in the club which will carry with
it few duties but a liberal salary, and
which will also permit the captain, if he
so desires, to branch out in the minor
league business. Details of the agreement
will not be given out until the Chicago
captains contract expires, next February.
President Hart can now go ahead and en-
gage a manager for next season, and the
man in view is Tom Burns, the ex-COlt
about whom there was so much talk during
the Philadelphia meeting. The rumors cur
rent that If Arson was released by Chicago
entirely unfounded."
The Record also says: From the present
outlook Omaha will be the city to secure
the Grand Rapids franchise in the Western
League and at the special meeting of the
clubs, which will probably be called for
week from Wednesday, this action will be
taken Omaha itself has a population of
about lac 0O0; Council Bluffs. just across the
river, has 10000 more. and other suburbs
bring the total within a radius of ten
miles up to 100000. The number of people is
the first thing to consider in placing a club
think managers, and say, furthermore, that
good baseball always draws towns sup
port. Frank Ellis, who formerly owned the
Grand Rapids franchise. wants to put
club in that city. Des Moines also made
proposition, but that wasn't considered.
Chicago is good town. say the Western
League people, but TO put team in Chi.
cagO would be another case of Cincinnati
and INDIANAPOLIS and they are unwilling to
stand for that The Chicago Western
League club would simply be farm for
the Chicago National League club Nothing
was said about giving Chicago franchise
by President Hart. or, on the other hand.
by the Western League people but the
whole thing was carefully considered. Upon
the face of things it looks almost certain
that Omaha will be the lucky bidder.

RADIO did no more than linger some few
days alive, and for the most of them he
was in a high fever, his brain being
wild, and he raved about the princess
sometimes railing at her, sometimes
praising her, yet once or twice he woke
calm and happy as he had been when
she knelt by him and having for his on
ly delusion the thought that she still
knelt there and was breathing words Of
love into his ear. And in this last mer-
ciful error, in respect Of which the ply
sicians humored him, he one day, a
week later, passed away and was at
peace.
Then the princess came attended by
one gentleman in whom she placed con-
fidence, and she destroyed the evil pic
ture that Giraldo had painted and, hav-
ing caused fire to be made, burnt up
the pieces of it and all the ruins of the
pictures that Giraldo had destroyed.
But that on which he had last worked
go happily and with such triumph Of art
she carried with her to the palace, and
presently she caused copies to be made
of it and sent to each of the princes by
whom Giraldo had been commanded to
paint her picture and with it the money
he had received, the whole of which
was found to be untouched in a cabinet
in his house. But the picture itself she
hung in her own chamber and would
often look at it, feeling great sorrow
for the fate of Giraldo the painter
Yet King Rudolf could not be pre-
vailed to pity the young man, saying
that for his part he should have to be
mad before the love of a woman should
drive him mad, and he cursed Giraldo
for an insolent knave, declaring that he
did well to die of his own accord And
because M. de Merosailles had CALAMITY
defended his sisters beauty in three
duels he sent him by the hands of a
great officer his Order of the Red Rose,
which NJ. de Merosailles wore with
great pride at the court of Versailles.
But when the copies of the last pic
ture reached the courts to which they
were addressed, together with the money
and a brief history of Giraldo's mad
doings, the princes turned their thoughts
again to the matter of the alliance and
several embassies set out for Strelsau,
go that Princess Osra said, with a smile
that was half sad, half amused and
very whimsical:
II am much troubled by reason of
the loss of Signor Giraldo, my painter. "

BLADDER TROUBLES.

The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, receptacle for the urine, and as such It
is not liable to any form of disease except by one
of two ways. The first way is from imperfect
action Of the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment Of other diseases.

True to Instructions.

My friend the newspaper man told
me funny little story which happened
during the last election in a certain
newspaper Office in this city.
They were pressed for men and had to
take on some of the old printers that
went out of Office with the arrival of the
typesetting machines. One of the edi-
torial writers wrote what he considered
a fine effort of rhetoric ON Mckinley.
Every page was sorely crowded, and the
fat had gone forth that nothing should
be loaded, not even editorials. In the
midst of the editorial effusion occurred
the following sentence: Mckinley &
name led all the rest.
This piece of copy was turned over to
one of the old discharged men. To
every body's establishment half of the
editorial in point was loaded, making q
very offending column to the eye.
The old printer was sent for. He de.
olared he had followed copy exactly.
Asked to bring the proof, he hurried up
stairs and from a bundle of written
sheets extracted what he wanted.
In the meantime the editorial writer
had discovered that sled all the rest"
had been omitted entirely, and he was
madden than ever.
"Where is the rest of that sentence?''
he growled when the ancient fossil APP
peared with the copy. you've chopped
this off at 'MoKinley's name.'"
"There is the copy" said the aged
file. Fright after MoKinley's name you
wrote led all the rest, and loaded it,,

The editorial writer had nothing more
to say after that. st. Louis Republic.

MISCELLANY.
The FOOLS Prayer.
Edward r.. snl,s Most Significant Poe

IT, Stll's Most Significant Poem
The royal feast was done; the king
Sought some new sport to Danish care
And to his jester cried, "Sir Fool
Kneel down for us and make a prayer"
The jester dotted his cap and bells.
And stood the hooking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore
He bowed his head and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's silzen stool
His pleading voice arose: 20 Lord
Be merciful to me fool
mo pity, Lord, could change the heart
From red with wrong to white as wool:
The rod must heal the sin; but, Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool
IT'S by our guilt the onward sweep
OF truth and light, o Lord, we stay:
'Tis by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
These clumsy feet, still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end
These hard, well meaning hands we trust
Among the heartstrinRs Of friend.
1.-THE ill.timed truth that we have kept
We know how sharp it pierced and stungl
The word we had not sense to say
Who knows how grandly 1t had rungS
"Our faults no tenderness should ask,
The Christening stripes must cleanse tn m all
But for our blunders-oh, in shame
Before the eyes of Heaven we fall.
Earth bears no blossoms for mistakes;
Men crown the knave, and scourge the tool
That did his will; but thou, o Lord,
Be merciful to me, fool"
The room was hushed In silence rose
The king, and sought his garden cool,
And walked apart, and murmered low
BE merciful 70 me, a fool"
