Here is the famous poem:
CASEY AT THE BAT.


There was ease in Casey's manner as he
stepped into his place,
There was pride in Casey's bearing aud
smile on Casey's face
And when, responding to the cheers he
lightly DOTTED his hat,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt

rubbed his hands with dirt,
Ten thousand tongues applauded him as
he wiped them on his shirt,
And, while the Writhing pitcher ground
the ball into his hip,
Defiance glanced in Casey's eve, a sheer
curled Casey's lip.
And now the leather covered sphere came
hurting through the air,
And Casey stood a-Watching it in naughty
grandeur there.
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball un-
needed sped,

Strike one! the umpire said
From the benches black with people
there went up a muff1ed roar
Like the beating of the storm waves on a
stern and distant shore

some one from the stand,
And it's likely they'd have killed him had
not Casey raised his hand.

kut one scornful look from Casey, and
the audience was awed
Iney saw his face grow stern and cold
they saw his muscles strain,
AND they knew that Casey would not lot

THE HABIT.
Day Round Shoulders Can BE
Made Straight.

One of the greatest and most common
deformities of the day is one that with
care and attention can be remedied. 1t
is the round-shouldered or STOPPING
habit. Many of the most natural figures
show this tendency to stoop, while in
the narrow-chested it is marked to 4
painful degree. And yet, by raising me-
self leisurely upon the toes in aperpen-
dicular position several times a day this
deformity can be easily reetified.' To
do this properly one must be in a perfect
ly upright position, the arms dropping
at the side, the heels well together and
the toes forming an angle of As de-
grees.
The rise should be made very slowly,
and from the balls of both feet, and the
descent should be accomplished in the
same way, without swaying the body
out of its perpendicular line. The ex-
ercise is not an easy one but may be
accomplished by patience. 1t can be
modified, too, by standing first on one
leg, then on the other. Initiating and
raising the chest at the same time is a
part of the exercise, and if persevered in
will ultimately show an increased chest
measurement, development of lung
power and erect fgure.-Cincinnati En-
quirer.

depths and varieties of insult not in
tended by the hack who wrote the
lines.
Sitting in one corner of the car, with
the valentine folded carefully, he took
the lines one at 4 time:
You talk and gable all the day"
1t was simply brutal. He read it
again, and suddenly this question
flashed into his mind: DO 1 talk too
much?"
He knew that the comic valentine was
always supposed to touch on a ruling
weakness. Could it be possible that the
sender of this valentine had struck On
his (Walker's) greatest failing and
taken an underhand way of rebuking
it?
Nonsense! 1 don't talk too much"
thought Walker. But if 1 never talk
TOO much, why did anyone SEND me this
valentine? There's no point to the val
entine unless / do talk too much occa-
sionally. But 1 don't believe 1 do talk
too much. 1 ought to know it if 1 make
myself a nuisance by talking. Hold on
herei Had 1 ought to know? When a
man is a bore and a nuisance, does he
ever suspect the fact himself? Is it
possible for a man to go on, year after
year, deluding himself with the belief
that he is a sparkling and entertaining
conversationalist, whereas everyone re-
CARDS him as a pest?"
Walker was compelled to answer in
the affirmative. He thought of the case
of Howelby. Howelby is the laughing
stock of a neighborhood. He is a per-
sistent chatterer, an insipid story
teller, an affected and effeminate doll.
Yet Howelby firmly believes that he is
the most popular young nan On the
South side, loved by the women and en-
We'd by the men.
IF Howelby has been fooled for so
long a time, isn't it possible that Some
Of the rest Of US have been fooled too"

even teeth for awhile. After this oper-
alton was over he gazed thoughtfully
out of the window at the glimmer of the
lake far in the distance, and, with q
sigh of contentment fumb1ed in his vest
pocket until he found a small mirror.
Having studied the effects of his new
red and purple tie in this, he started in
on his mustaehe, a pale, feathery sug-
gestion of what might be in days to
come. This latter was combed and
twirled and petted until it stood out at
the proper angle with a well-defined
curl at either end. The felt hat was
pushed further back to see il the part
of the hair was o. K, and at last, with
another sigh of relief, he replaced the
mirror and leaned back complacently.
But the girl in gray had been watch
ing him over the top of her book, watch
ing each new branch of the business
with increasing interest, and, finally,
when she saw the mirror go back in its
leather case, she laid aside her book,
and, opening her chatelaine bag, drew
out a chamois skin well powdered and
proffered it with a smile to her travel
ing companion, while the people around
enjoyed the little comedy.
Wouldn't you like to put on the fin
ishing touch?" she asked, sweetly, and
he stifiy arose and went into the
smoker.-Chicago Tribune.

. pound-that is, sections of the beef
that are not usually used for roast
ing-and get a more nourishing dish
than you can from the choicest cuts.
This, however, can only be accom-
plished by cooking the meat slowly
and cooking it in a scientific manner.
Cereals are very difficult to cook
properly. So are baked beans and
some kinds of vegetables. We Will
devote ourselves at first to cooking
things that require long and careful
cooking. We do not propose to med
die with steaks and chops, which are
easily cooked. Later on we may take
mp all sorts of cooking"
The secret of Mr.. Streets scheme
lies in his patent device for retaining
heat. This apparatus is apparently
nothing more than a big bucket,
metal covered and lined, with sides
and bottom about two inches thick.
There is a close-itting top OF lid of
similar thickness. What the sides of
the wall of this package are lined
with Mr.. Street does not say. Into
this heat-retaining package are put
porcelain cans, which fit tightly and
have close-ftting covers.
Mr.. Street proposes to have various
sized packages. in which breakfast,
luncheon and dinner can be arranged.
In the bottom of the bucket is placed
the dessert, then the meat and vege-
tables. and then the soup. This is
for a dinner bucket.
These buckets are to be delivered in
big wagons, in which there will be an
arrangement along the side for hold
ing them in place. The scheme is to
have a large number of wagons, which
will make trips through various sec
tions of the city to deliver food and
take orders for the following day.
There will be small wagons for quick
delivery of late orders.

FOOD SUPPLY WAGONS.
Their Inventor Believes They VIII
Solve the Servant-Girl Problem
to EverybOdy's Subtraction.

Conservative old New Haven is soon
to have a twentieth century convenience
that will make one of the dreams of
Edward Bellamy a practical realiza-
ton. In his famous book entitled
Looking Backward"B ellamy describes
great cooperative kitchens from which
whole cities are t be fec. New Haven
will shortly have a big kitchen from
which her residents may order their
meals and have them sent piping hot
to their homes all ready to be served.
This, in brief, is the latest idea of a
Yankee invention, designed to solve the
servant girl problem.
This scheme is not a mere dream. 1t
is an idea of a New Haven business man
who has made a success. 1t is backed
by over 20 other New Haven business
men, every one of whom is a practical
and successful man in his line of bust
ness. These men have put their money
into this idea because they believe that
they have in this scheme a big fortune.
Many schemes have been tried in diff
ferent parts of the world to supply
food for families through cooperative
kitchens. These schemes have never
been very successful, because it has
been impossible to keep food hot during
transportation from one place to An
other. The scheme of many families
eating together in one building has also
proved Objectionable. New Haven has
apparently solved this problem by the
invention of heat retaining devices by
which a plate of soup or a roast of beef
may be kept piping hot for as long as
seven hours. The projectors say they
can deliver, cooked and ready to serve,
many dishes at a price equal to that
which the housekeeper pays for the
ray product.
In speaking of his scheme, Mr.. S. Fl.
Street said to a New York Herald re-
porter:
This is not a mere dream. 1 have
been studying this subject for years. I
have discussed it with the best business
men of the country. 1 have placed my
ideas before them, and they have all
told me that the scheme in practical
Bile.
People do not realize that it 3
possible to cook the cheapest portions
of meat in a scientific manner and get
as delicious dishes as are served in
the finest restaurants in the country.
1t has been demonstrated that you
can roast beef that costs four cents

in them. He had even advised his
friends in much the same terms. One
CT his friends, Bradbury, had received
az unsigned letter. advising him that
he was not a civilized being, that the
people who congregated in his fiat of
ages, and that it was an outrage for
anyoneto play the piano at two o'clock
in the morning, as at that hour all
honest men and women were sup
POSED tc be in bed.
Bradbury was very angry. He went
to Walker with the anonymous letter
in his trembling hand and asked:
isn't that the most insulting thing
you ever read?"
Walker behaved with admirable
GOODNESS. He smiled peacefully and
remarked: "Never let anything like
that worry you"
wei, l think 7 know who sent it.
What is your opinion of a man who
would write that kind of a letter and
send it to you without signing his
name?"
Bradbury, \ man who would do
anything like that is simply beneath
contempt. You can't afford to waste
any righteous Indignation on such a
eur. Dismiss the entire matter from
your mind. Don't be foolish. If this
fellow is too cowardiy to sign mis-
name, simply throw the letter into the
waste basket, and let that be the last
of it."
Considering that Nj. Walker held
ouch sensible and cool-headed views
concerning anonymous insults, his
subsequent conduct is not easily ex-
planned, unless it be admitted that it
is easy enough TO ignore an insult
which is aimed at some one else.
On the morning Of q certain Febru-
aIy IA, Mr.. Walker went to his break
fast a. a later hour thsn usual. He
