PLANS OF THE BIG LEAGUE.
The Special Meeting of Mngnates Has
Been Postponed JntiI March.

NEW YORK. Feb e0.-Another shift in
the plans of the National League Base
ball magnates has been made. Instead OF
calling special meeting here this week
they have decided TO wait until about the
first week in March. The attitude OF II. X.
Won der Horst, of the Baltimore club,
against the proposed circuit reduction
plan is the chief cause of the postpone
ment. The magnates find that they have
made very little headway with Won der
Horst. who now declares with emphasis
that the Baltimore club is not for sale at
any price, and that the team, under Ne
Graws management, will be strength
ened Won der Horsts declaration has
not been made irresponsibly. for his part
ner, Abel. will back him up in any move
he may see fit to make. II the magnates
should hold meeting this week they feel
that the sandbsgging and bulldozing
methods employed to beat Won der Horst
in line would receive wide publicity, as
was the case when they met here last De
cember and tried to throw both Brooklyn
and Baltimore out of the circuit. So they
have concluded to work in secret and will
not get together until they have made ar
rangements one way or another.
Freedman says he will not strengthen
the New Yorks until syndicate ball as ex-
emplified by Brooklyn Baltimore and St
Louis Cleveland is abolished" declares
Von der Horst Il can make public an
other utimatum equally as good in that 1
will not sell the Baltimore club unless
Freedman kills his New York club syndi-
cate in which Soden Brush, Spalding, and
ether outsiders are interested. Let him

The moguls have been throwing out feel

Horst to understand that If he does not
agree to sell the Baltimore franchise at
| their price his club will be thrown out

The HeInfuI MINI

The man who loses his head was in
church the other day, and a girl near
him had tainted. The church was very
close, and he realized that the best
thing to do was to take her out. and as
he was helpful man, always going to
the assistance of those in need. he pro-
posed to carry her himself. But in
these days women do not faint often
enough to keep men in practice carry
ing them out of churches or theaters,
and this man was very much excited.
The girl had tainted just as a hymn
was being sung, and the maa had a
hymn book in his hand, which if it re-
mained there would make him less able
to render his deed of mercy, so the first
thing to do. he realized, was to get rid
Of the hymn book.
won't some one take my hymn
book?" he cried excitedly. "Some one
take this hymn book" he called again
with vehemence. But no one volun-
teered, and it was not until another
man had taken the girl out that be
realized that he might have dropped
that hymn book on the seat himself

Where another mighty mountain s.arts i+s io,r

Now no effort, swiftly downward, gently DER

Still she now and then is calling for a shoyelful
of coal.
So in life we upward journey, up hfe's trouble
some ascent,
To the Mecca we are seeking, earnestly our feet
are bent,
But the journey would be lighter, sooner we
would reach the goal,
H. as fercely onward pressing, we would shovel in
the coal.
True, some early struggle upward till they reach
the mountain height,
Then perhaps lie idly waiting where the journey
is more light,
Till again they reach the bottom, but the fellow

Cliff Dwe1Iers' Clever Symbols.

The symbols of the old cliff dwellers,
used to represent the things of nature,
were often very clever.
They represented the mountains by
terraces, the sky by arches, the winds
by coils and spiral lines, clouds by
stepped figures, the sun by disk, the
moon by n crescent, the lightning by
the serpent. the rain by perpendicular
lines. the rainbow by different colors,
the water by certain animals. tfe air
by birds. the earth by horizontal lines,
the four points Of the compass by
crosses, and the gods which preside
over the four quarters of the sky by
fetiches In the shape Of animals.
