noises he urged the deacon. Wouldn't
this be good time to stop the game?!
"But the good deacon had been car
ried away by his revived enthusiasm
over baseball, and instead of affirming
this pions plan, was enraged at the SUI
perintendent's suggestion.
"'Stop the game?' he shouted. Stop
the game with Bill Medford at bat and
three men on bases? Well, of all dod-
dering idiots you certainly are the
prize specimen. When you get inside
the pearly gates and the Heavenly
hosts strike up their music | suppose
you will let out plaintive beat:
'Please, Lord, stop them. They are
making too much noise."'
"The minister and the superintend-
ent sighed over the deacon's fall from
grace and moved to other seats. But
the deacon didn't care.
Swat it, Bi.l!' he shouted, standing
up on his seat, waving his hat and
with his gray hair blowing in the wind.
Line it out, Bill! Tear the leather of! !

bill waited until he found ball to
his liking and then swung hard. As he
hit he turned a little too much and
the ball sailed in line over third base,
far, far beyond the left fielder. All tn =
runners came in and Bill made the cir
cult of the bases. The crowd, thinking
the game won, began to pile on to the
field preparatory to carrying Bill Med
ford off in triumph.
But the umpire, who had been vain
ly trying to make himself heard, came
running up to the home plate, holding
up his hand for silence.

told an amusing anecdote of the Boer
war, from which he has recently re-
turned. Referring to the use of homer
pigeons in time of war, he mentioned
that at the siege of Mafeking Gen.
Baden-PoweH expressed wish that no
ladies should remain in town. Lady
Sara Wilson, who is now well-known
throughout the country, went out a
distance of some Is miles, and, being
anxious to communicate with Gen.
Baden-Powell, she attempted to do so
by means of a carrier pigeon. He
was sorry to say that this car
rier pigeon was not well trained.
Lady Sarah wrote letter and
dispatched it with the pigeon in
the hope that it would fly straight
into Mafeking; but instead of that il
went and settled on the top of the
house of the Boer commandant who
was investing the town. The result
was that the Boer commandant ascer-
tanned who she was and where she was,
and she had to explain the reason why
she was near Mafeking.-London Tele-

TALKS OF PARIS EXPERIENCE.
Mrs. Daniel Manning Says She Does

Sighting Remarks.

On the American liner New York,
which arrived at New York the other
day, was Mrs. Daniel Manning, be-
tween whom and Mrs. Potter Palmer,
rs the leading American women at the
Paris exposition. there is said to have
been considerable rivalry. Mrs. Man.
ming was met by welcoming delega-
ton of 81 women, representing Mary
Washington Colonial chapter and 9TH
er chapters of the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
Her attention was called to the
statement by Mrs. Potter Palmer that
she herself was originally the only
woman on the board of commission
ers for the Paris exposition, and that
subsequently Mrs. Manning was made
member OF the American commits
sion because she was the United
States governments official represen-
tative at the unveiling in Paris of the
Lafayette statue.
Il do not belive that Mrs. Palmer
made such a statement" said Mrs.
Manning, ''for I was made a national

Deacon Everett'S Fall
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
iIF GOOD old Deacon Everett could

have restrained his enthusiasm
for the national game" said the eX-
member of the Moral Reform club,
sadly, I'VE would have compelled the
viola tors of the law to cease from desc
Grating the Sabbath, and our town
might still retain the championship
of the country.
But, after being the prime mover
for holiness and discomfort on the
first day of the week, the deacon let
himself be led astray by his desire
to see Bill Medford make a home run.
And now the deacon has both scandal
lied the religious element and lost pop
ularity with the baseball fans.
"About two weeks ago the deacon
came to me with the air of man
who is about to inaugurate moral
movement that will make sinners
think they have bumped up against
spiritual cyclone.
"'I'm told,' said the deacon, in his
solemn, earnest way, that men in
whom all sense of moral obligation is
dead are banding together to lacer-
ate the ears and holiest feelings OF the
truly good
"'The Boxers certainly are making
1t warm for the missionaries l re-
piled, sort of puzzled, for | thought
he was talking of the Chinese out
RACES, but l hadn't heard they were
slicing off ears yet
"It's not those poor, benighted
heathens on the other side of the
globe that I'm referring to- said the
good man, sort of impatiently. It's
that gang of highbinders that they
call the Williamson baseball team.
They're coming over here Sunday with
their own umpire and a ringer pitcher
to break the holy calm of the Sab
bath and try to take the championship
from our town. But when they strike
the religious sentiment of this burg
they will find they are against the
real thing. The unsanctified exhibit
ton won't be allowed to last more
than one inning. Unless our boys
happen to have them on the rum he
added, in meditative sort of man
ner.
"'There's going to be more bumps
than glory for the man who tries to
stop that game l warned the deacon.
You're good man and pious one.
There amt a man in town who would
look better in martyrs crown. But
there's no use of hurrying it up
"But the deacon was obstinate and
insisted that il was his duty to stir
up the authorities and have all viola
tors of the law arrested. The sheriff
wasn't any too pleased at the job the
deacon had marked out for him.
"T'm here TO uphold the majesty of
the law said the sheriff. And I'll do
it If l have to hire derrick. To pre-
serve the sanctity of Sunday I'd be
willing to fill the jail with nonvoting
criminals. But there's time and
place for everything, and this office
is having troubles of its own trying
to capture criminals who have failed
to pay their fines. 1 don't believe 1
can attend to the question at present.
Call around in few days, say in No
vember or December
"The deacon, seeing that he wasn't
going to get much assistance from
the sheriff, determined to act himself.
So he called in the minister and the
Sunday school superintendent and ex-
planned to them his plans.
"'WeT 60 to the game Sunday said

sons the majesty Of the law, the SANG !

that the curse of the East has gained

that the Government remains assured
that the surrender will not discourage
