The bloom or youth still mantles his cheeks and, strive as ne will to furrow his brow in order to sho" to the world that he is advancing 1n years. he has not effected a change in his looks during the last decade. He IS a man with a family which, due to late addition, now numbers three. Three yediS ago the physicians told him he was tHe father of as pretty a. baby girl as tnlS world ever looked upon. or course, he was happy, but he could not account TOT the sudden upheayal of things Tn ms narrow way of looking at the worKlh8s of nature his wishes and desires must at all times be fulfilled. Therefore, he was somewhat disappointed. The pictures that he painted for the future .Presldent of the United States who would pear his name. were obliterated. But this. accloehC might happen once. Twice in successor would never do. At least that was ms frame of mind when he met friend m whom he could pour the full current or his disappointnent. The friend was con- soling. and suggested sure plan or at taining the desideratum. He adVlseo the young father to start out on the morrow and bet every friend he met during that day and for every day of that month that his next child would be girl. Dame Fortune would certainly not favor him to the winning of ali those bets, ana thus ali would be satisfactory at the tune of the reckoning. Acting on this adVlce the father started to do the 'line- " heh he retired that night he had placed WaS- CTS for at least ten hats, as many pairs of gloves, for. canes, for boxes of cigars in fact for every description of portable apparel. Those bets were held Tn the balance for three years. They were set | tied yesterday. Just as before the pnysl- cians announced daughter, and now the | father is sitting on fence, Tor ne does i not know whether to rejoice or weep. l But what grieves him most is to have | each one of the same friends who lost. l tell him that he never won bet in ms | life. and that they ought to have known
 better than to bet with such jonah.

WOMEN on THE BATTLtfI-LJ.
WHAT SHE GIVES TO a NATION.

Whether war shall descend and continue
upon as now with all its indescrihaale
horrors and frightful carnage, OF the
brooding angel of peace shall spread her
white wings TO the sunshine Of love-
whatever may be the issue today or any
other day in our American history-the
tremendous fact remains the same that
woman is forever a chief and tnscparsble
factor in the warfare of nations.
Her rare appearance on the battlefield
or IN notwithstanding cheering and
comforting the wounded or dying-is a
very small part Of what woman does 10
promote this couutry's fighting capacity.
She does more than roll bandages, scrape
lint and send out dainty boxes Of pro-
visions for husbands, brothers and sweet
hearts in the field
The wives and mothers and the sisters
and sweethearts that viii become wives
and mothers-contribute something more
In addition TO this cheering comfort and
inspiration.
Every male fighter. however brawny
and heroic was born Of woman: was once
a feeble infant drawing-along with his
very breath Of life from his mothers own
physical resources-the hardhood, mental
stamina and high courage that becomes
nations final and impregnable defense
IN the last dread arbitrament OF war.
Shall We say that women contribute the

For the third time this week the Sen
ators and Giants fell victims to the down
shoots of Jupiter Pluvius yesterday. The
same inclement conditions of the weather
existed in the other cities where games
were scheduled, except in Cincinnati, and
as result Thursday was a decidedly off
day in the National League baseball
world.
The weather scheduled for today is far
from propitious for ball playing, and the
chances for a game are rather unfavor-
able, unless Old Sol should turn a trick
on the sage and shed his warm rays in
the soggy grounds of National Park.
If such should prove the case then the
champion Bostons will engage the atten-
ton of Browns team this afternoon at
4:S0. As Reitz and Wagner are both on
hand and will play at second and third
respectively, a much better game viii
be put up by the Senators than has been
seen in the past. weighing or Mercer will
