memory remarked Secretary Pulliam
recently. When Virtue was released
by Tebeau from the Cleveland team.
Manager Jack McCloskey, Of the Col

cover first base for US. We were in
need Of first baseman at the time,
and while Virtue was 20 or 90 points
short of the 300 mark as batsman. he
was one of the best fielding first base
men in the league, and the most avail
able man to us, as we thought. He
accepted our terms. and we sent him
$500 advance money in the fall. When

he reported for spring practice no

physical appearance of the man. He
was thin, pale. wrinkled. and hating
in his gait l asked him if he was sick
and he acknowledged that he wasn't
feeling quite clipper, but would be as
fresh as a daisy in a few days. He
showed up for practice on the follow
ing day. and then we discovered we
had a cripple on our hands. His right
arm hung limp by his side, and he
tossed the ball around the infield with
a snap of the wrist, failing to raise his
arm. DR.. Stuckey, who was then the
president of the club, was in the
grandstand watching the boys at
morning practice Who in heavens

has all the action-or rather the lack

him was last summer when l read OF
his being mixed up in railroad ac-

There is not the slightest doubt in
my mind that Ryan did wonders in
teaching Jeffries how to circumvent
Bob Fitzsimmons, but it is an open
question whether he can now impart
knowledge to Corbett which will en-
able him to defeat his erstwhile spar
ring partner. l think that there is
very little pugilistic skill that Ryan
can impart to Corbett, simply because
/ think Corbett is far more skillful
than Ryan ever was or ever will be. In
my opinion if Corbett can get within
anything like seventy-tive per cent
of the form he had the day he defeated
Charley Mitchell at Jacksonville he
will make Mr.. Jeffiries look like the
small end of thirty cents struck by
lightning. But can he get into that

said the old circus man. was TO see
the greatest OF all giants laying brick;
and when he was looking over a town
IN advance, as he always did to see
what opportunities there were for pre-
sentlng the giant most strikingly to
the mind and eye OF the people by
comparison, he always kept an eve out
for buildings under construction: and
II he found a brick building going up
anywhere, that was up. say. two or
three stories, and that had bricklayers
at work on it, on a scaffolding. LAYING
brick, why, the old man never failed
to take that street into the route of
the morning parade even If we had to
leave out some more important street
nearer the center of the town. When
we'd come to that building on the line
OF march the giant would, apparently.
discover it in passing; and the minute
he saw it he'd stop. He'd look at the
men on the scaffoding with every in
dication Of interest; and then the first
thing you know he'd step right out
of his place in the line and pick up
two or three bricks from the ground
and then straighten up his head ana
shoulders up there above where the
men were at work, and then he'd take
a trowel right out of the hand of one
Of the bricklayers-they'd all stopped
work to look at him-and go to work
laying brick. Of course the old man
had halted the parade long before this,
and you'd see it strung along the road
looking on, with half the town looking
on. too, at the greatest Of all giants
laying brick on a wall that had already
been carried up three stories, he stand
ing on the ground as he worked. His
arms were long enough so that he
could reach across over the platform
of the scaffold to the wall easily. He
might have taken bricks and mortar
from there. but he didn't; he would
bend down and take 'em from the
ground every time AS a matter Of
fact, he was a very good bricklayer,
and / think the giant always enjoyed
this work himself; and he'd lay
course or two. between, say, two win
dows, in good shipsAape manner and
in good time. and then he'd hand the
trowel back to the man on the scaffold
that he'd borrowed it from and step

would give the signal and the band
would strike up, and the whole pro-
cession would face forward again, in

Now. as a gelding, was he eligible?
On this hook hangs the protest. In
the United States Democrats eligible

the rules of racing say "a horse in

century A. d. 1t was excavated in the

near the village of Pastousha. stu

An the metallic fittings OF the chariot,
with small bronze figures as decora-
lions and the harness for one horse
were found. together with five human
skulls and several semi-decayed
swords and lances. The discovery
has so pleased Prince Ferdinand that
he has offered to give from bis private
nurse the sum of 10000 francs, to
which the Bulgarian government
will add 5000 francs, and the French
another 5000 francs, for the purpose
of continuing these archaeological re-

VIOLET N JENNEY.


At the convention of Michigan live
stock breeders held in Detroit recent
ly, the use of sugar beet pulp as a ra-
ton for cattle came up for discussion.
F. D. Wells said that pulp had been
tested near the Rochester factory and
the result had been favorable. II had
been fed as much as bushel per head
per day without any i'll effects, and the
animals had done well on it Mr. Rob-
erts was having the pulp delivered at
his farm near Jackson from the Bay
City factory. Was feeding it to dairy
COWS with excellent results. Prof.
Clinton D. Smith of the State Agricul-
tural College thought the question OF
the value of beet pulp was not yet
settled. He explained the process
through which the beets were put in
the sugar factory. and thought there
could not be much of value left in
them. Still he was aware that in other
countries the pulp was valued quite
highly.
