Ball Twenty Years Ago.

He hadn't been in ball game for 20
years. He was one of the veterans who
talk about the old Knoxville Reds and
about the merits of John Houll or Mar
tin Condor as pitchers and of Will Hunt
as catcher
They didn't need any of them bird
cages and chest protectors i'll the old
days, | tell you. The ketcher stood
right up to the bat with nothin on but
an undershirt, and if he got hit in the
face he went right on with the game,
and what them hams they carry round
on their hands?" said the old fellow
"Oh, all the catchers and tielders
now wear mitts! It's easier to catch
flies, you know.
well, that beats my timel" said the
old veteran. "Mitts? | reckon that to
keep their hands from gittin hurt Why,
dOggone my eats, the fielders in the
sixties didn t wear nothin! They d have
been ashamed They didn't think moth
i'll of havin two or three broken fingers
and goin right along with the game. Say,
the wimmen could play this game, l
reckon It's putty nigh as soft as long
tennis or krokay.
SAY, why didn't that chump ketch
that foul on the bound? Have to ketch
'em on the fly, does he? Why, by links,
in my day Teller had to know just
how it was goin to bounce, and you bet
it took good Judgment to tell which
way the thing was a-goin.
And they lowed them jist as many
balls as they wanted and plenty of strikes
too This newfangled concern ain t no
good. Mighty good thing that they
erected a monument to the mem'ry of
Harry Wright, but I'll bet you he re-
membered what a good game they use
ter have in the old days when they only
had one pitcher and one ketcher "
And the old man rambled on and
thought this thing of making two or
three runs to "A game was bad piece of

Women Veterinarians.

Several women are planning this fall
to enter the New York College Of Yet
Urinary Surgeons. with view Of taking
the three years course and qualifying
with the degree Of d. Y. ).
They Will form the first woman s
class i'll a veterinary college in tins
country, though France has one Eradu
ate and there are a few in Germany
and Russia.
The names of five young women have
already been enrolled III the institution.
and letters Il inquiry are being received
from others every day. DR. + y. Leavy
has been assigned by the faculty to form
the class.
From the letters which DR.. Leavy has
received it appears that most Of the
young women who intend to study Will
do so with the idea of earning a living.
As for the prospect of making an in
come, DIR. Leayy says that veterinarians
charge 81 visit. The bureau of animal
industry in the agricultural department
at Washington pays inspectors 81, 40l
year and assistants 81, 200.
In 81 state agricultural station,
veterinary surgeons are employed al
from 81, 900 to So, 600, and nearly all
city health departments employ gradu-
ates Of veterinary colleges as meat al
milk inspectors No woman is now
employed i'll these places.

The women who long for emancipa-
ton, yet who cannot bring themselves
to appear in abbreviated skirts or Turk
ish trousers, can at least help the good
cause along by making a practical pro-
test against the slavish observance of
prevailing fashions.
The women who impress US as being
always suitably attired are seldom ar
rayed i'll garments made according t.
the latest mode Their choice in dress
is usually governed by fitness and mod
Grafton. 1t may make very little differ
euce to one who by reason of wealth or
social position is recognized leader of
society, if her taste in dress is charac-
terized merely by refinement and SIM
plicity, but it does make great deal IF
difference to her poorer or more timid
sister, who has been accustomed to look
upon wealth as the basis of social dis
tinction or who has not the moral cour-
age to dress within her means
No woman is exactly the keeper of
another's conscience, but she should at
least help the great work of education
