The success OF the Wellsburg ball
club has been wonderful so far this
season under the able management of
Col. w. w. Beall The club claims the
championship of the Ohio valley and
beyond doubt has proved itself the
strongest team in this section outside
of the Interstate League. 1t is made
up Of the best amateurs that can be
secured Lucas and McConkay have
done the twirling and have caused
many to wonder why they are not
signed by some of the minor league
clubs. Farrell, the catcher, is a star
behind the bat and an accurate throw
er to bases. The new first baseman,
Gunion, OF Altoona, has added a tower
OF strength TO the club, who with Sapp,
Hobson and Furgeson make almost an
impregnable infield. Mcconnell,
Barnes and McConkey are fielders who
cover lots of ground and make many
catches of the sensational order. The
club has an excellent batting average
taken as whole, while several Of the
individual averages are over 800. They
have defeated the following clubs and
are justly. entitled to the champion

CDo you think Of the kiss that 7 left on

And the cheek where the rose -dimples

I am here in :,e dark with your face,

It passed WITH the spring suns that sorrow

Where the Joy and the mean and the mel

In the beautiful gardens OF May.

Or star-like wandering beam.
Revealing the darkness that dWeils with
the night
The darkness the kiss OF Gods morning
makes white
Like spirit that moves in dream.'
But, 10: it is here. and stand
Aud stare at the darkness alone.
Am I longing tonight for the touch o!
y your hand,
Pas memory leads to Loves beautiful land
Where the roses are ever Loves own?
I know not. This only I know:
The grief and the glory are past;
And il it be roses, or il it be snow
In the wales where Love blossomed ant
sang to ne so,
shall! rest il that Loves smile at last,
It is oeer--tla peace and the pain:
Lies winter is white or the sod;
Pcrchance T shall dream all the Gea,
dreams again
Under the sunlight, the rosc and the rain -
Under the daisies of God.

German Blondes and BrrT@ties.

tue blonde and brunette types anu

German Empire. The observations

For purposes OF classification only
those that had blue eyes and fair hair
and skin were counted as blondes,
and those whose eyes, hair and skin
were all dark as brunettas.
All others lfor example, children
with dark eyes and light hair or with
blue eyes and dark hair and skim
we're put in third Or mixed" class.
In the Empire as a whole the
blondes were found to number Sis
per cent, the brunettes IL per cent,
and the mixed types 54.2 per cent.
IN some districts the preponderance
Of the blonde element was much more
marked--especialIy in part Of the
Grand Duchy OF Oidenbarg, where
there were only ( pei cent. Of pure
brunettes.
The effect CT the brunette Roman
element was marked distinctly in taa

vile died and lefs "a
husband, always retisshe,
positively gloomy. His twdssssSs
seldom heard him speak, but one day,
when the little Ralph was about five
years old. his moody father said, in s
strange, stern way:
I'm going to sell the farm. You
two girls can live herein the old house
aud I will deposit money enough il
the bank to keep you and the boy IN
til I can send you some more. Ishal
go to Australia.
Huldah, the invalid, cried on
piteously, but her brother paid nc
heed; Hannah, the idiot, stared stonily
and spoke rot.
That day the farm and the mill privi
lsge on the little river were sold to 6
large corporation that had been trying
for some time to buy it, in order tc
erect cotton mill there.
Ralph Mydack came home and
packed his trunk, but his motions
were unsteady, his face pale, and be,
fore night he was sick, very sick.
There was little that two helpless
women could do for him: the farm
hands were dismissed, all but Jared,
who was to stay and take care OF the
COW; so they sent him of for
the doctor, but when he returned
Ralph Mydack was dead.
Ten bitter years dragged slowly by.
The little money in the bank was soon
exhausted, ami partly on charity, part
~ by the few vegetables neighbors
helped them raise IN the garden patch,
the two old women and the awkward,
sullen boy lived on.
) It was we'll known that G large sum
o. money had been paid to Mr.. Ny
dack for bis farm. but the corporation
had failed alinostimmediately after, so
nothing was done about the cotton
mills, and from the hour OF the pay
ment, when the legal papers were
signed, al trace Of the money dis
appeared as eHectually as though it
had been dropped iato the sea of
oblivion.
Lawyers searched the old house,
looked over the few papers and books
thai NJ. Mydack had evidently ~
tended to, take with him, searched his
wearing apparel and gave up in de
soair.
little Ralph grew up stout. healthy
lad, and when lie was fifteen he asked
some OF the neighbors to help him
rig the old saw-nill anew, that he
might saw logs and thus exc ont his
scanty support.
Everybody felt kindly toward him,
cad season after season, when the
water was higt, he would work night
and day among the fragrant pine and
hemlock logs, earning quite an indie
pendence.
It was here that Gertrude kenden-
mis- found him one day early in June.
Sc had seen hey bright face about
there the year before, but had turned
away from hsr pleasant words with .
moodinsss that was almost rude. For
what had his weary, toilsome life 10
do with beauty or kind words?
What, indeed? And yet she would
not let him be. She went every day
