BROKE THE NEWS SUDDENLY
ComicaI Episode in the Meeting OF
Long-separated Brothers In
England.

A curious little story reached us
the other day from the lips OF an
officer invalided home from South
Africa, says the Liverpool Post. The
eldest son Of well-known duke had a
younger brother In Ladysmith and
was naturally anxious and eager for
his safety. He himself was serving
with the forces of Gen. Butler and
was through all the long and arduous
campaign which preceded the relief
OF that place. When it became known
that the road was at last open, the
young nobleman was sent forward
with the first forces to enter the
town. He soon found his brother,
whom his eyes had been yearning to
see Tor so many long and weary
months. "lIullo, Jack!" he shouted,
and then, In his excitement and pleas
ure, for the life OF him he couldn't
think Of what to say next, At last he
blurted out with "Old Tom, the
gardener, is dead" An anti-climax
which, in spite OF the apparently
mournful character of the news,
caused both the brothers to roar with
laughter Such was the first item
OF home news which the younger one
heard after sickening period OF anx.
ious waiting.

onE-LEeeEp BALL PLAYER.
Eight-Year-OIdB BOY Runs Bases with
out the Aid of His
Crufch.


Members of the Kenwood Country
club have a mascot in Willie Howard,
the one-legged baseball player, says a
Chicago paper. The little fellow,
eight years of age, is considered one
of the most expert amateur bail play
ers on the south side. He manages
to run the bases on one leg. OF late
the young man has frequently been
asked TO appear on the tennis
grounds. 1t is said that whatever
side he champions is sure to be vic
torious in the tennis contests. Any
fine afternoon when there Is tennis
game in progress Willie Howard is
very conspicuous. He is regarded by
some Of the best tennis experts as
the forerunner of good luck. One day
lately Willie was in great demand
1t is said his services were bid fol-
long before the champion tennis con
tests began at the Kenwood Country
club.
Little Willie, as he Is familiarly
called by his many friends, takes
prominent part in baseball games
when there are no games OF tennis
in progress. As batter he is said tc
be the equal of anyone on the Ken
wood grounds. OF late the young fel
low has discarded his habit OF run
ming the bases with a crutch in hand
II Is said that Willie believes it un
dignified 10 run the bases in his for
mer way. The result is the youthful
ball player now covers the bases in
hop, skip and jump fashion.

and Mickey came TO Chicago TO be on
hand for the opening season OF the
races at Washington park from De-
troit," said short man with sandy
mustache and wearing clothes that
had seen better days around a race
track, who was standing near the grand
stand in Washington park the other
day talking to tout who was going
to give him a good thing, relates the
Chronicle. "When Mickey and ] hit
the town we didn't have a cent, so we
had TO beg our chuck and banner money
from people on the street. The next
day we were in for II good, No money,
didn't know anybody, only few touts,
who only had eating money for them
selves and had good thing that would
win In walk and the odds were big.
Mickey says: Pal, | tink | can get
a few bucks TO bet on a good thing,
so he did. How he got it don't know,
but in three days after he got II we
walked out OF the track with $500

money" That is the story overheard
by a man who was standing near the
two alleged touts who were telling OF
their good luck since the opening of the
Washington park track.
