The Opening Day.

"Play BALI" Again the cry goes u?
From where the umpire $ ands.
And forward strides a husky chap
A willow in his hands.
A sphere of horsehide c.eaves the ar
Like missile from gun;
The batsman swings and looks amazed
The umpire says, Strike one.
Again the batsman make his pose.
The pitcher throws Il fit;
Then with the bat the bah col.ides.
And thOuSa ndS cheer the hit.
The rooters yeil til they are hoarse.
The cranks their score cards dot.
While peppers at the knotholcs smile,
And those who bet wax hot
Another husky chap appears.
And at the pitcher grins;
Again the bah Is fercely banged,
And to the shortstop spins.
Two men are sprinting down ne iihes'
While Watching thousands Shout,
4 rapid double play Is made
The umpire calls both out.
Then from all sides comes boots ana .cerS'
And howlS of rage and srief:
The rooters at the umpire scowl
And join in shouts OF Thief:
There's woe among the bleacheiitcs.
In srandstand there's Il KICK:
And urchins on the fencetop y'l;
Say, swipe dat empire quick.
The storm is hushed. the game proceeds,
Though Oft the umpire's jeo,cd:
The ball is banged. and thrown. anu
tossed,
And players oft are cheercd.
The rooters spirits rise and raj.
The cranks note every play,
And if the game ends well all join
In one great glad, ''Hooray!
The seasons on ard now for months
All hands will talk baseball.
And pennant hopes will often rise.
And often take Il iaii.
And TO the front again now comes
The old. familiar bore.
Who never goes to see game,
But asks about the score.

The Bath Times tries hard to brace
up the Shipping City to its opportuni

while il gets discouraged. Saturday
night it remarked: rs there anything
short of an earthquake or tornado
that can overcome the adamantine
conservatism of Bath? The Iron Works
runs against it in the tenement house
matter Old Home Week runs against
it at every turn. the advocates of a big
club house ran against it in the yacht
club. the Board of Trade runs against
it among the merchants and any
spark of enthusiasm runs against it in
whatever direction it happens to take
flight and is promptly extinguished
Conservatism is an excellent thing
when evenly balanced by liberality.
but such universal conservatism is an
almost inSurmOuntable obstacle to

r." and Threate ems Supplies

London, May 24.-Though the war
office officials profess to see nothing
alarming in the new Boer invasion of
Cape Colony, to the unbiased observer
it is apparent that De Wet, by the
present disposition of his forces,
threatens all railway lines leading to
Pretoria, effectively cutting off COM
munication between Gen. Lord Kitch-
ener at Pretoria and any possible base
of supplies he may have on the sea
coast. ..#"f-
It is also clear that the British do
not know where De Wet is, they hav-
ing reported him both at the Zuur-
burg mountains and at Botha's pass,
with not enough interval of time be-
tween the reports to admit of his hav-
ing travelled the distance between
those points. -ef ..

THE STRENUOUS LIFE.

The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, vice
president of the United States, gives
promise of being as versatile in his
genius as was the famous Thomas JEFF
ferson, of whom it has often been said
that there was no department oil
knowledge in his time but what JEFF
ferson was somewhat conversant with
And SO it seems that Teddy" is equal
to whatever demands are made upon
him. Last Sunday while in Chicago
he was called upon to preside in
the pulpits of two churches, and il
both instances his responses were sc
fitting, appropriate, earnest and time
ly as to arouse the admiration ami
hearty approval of the congregations
one Of which promptly voted him
membership in their body.
The next day We find him I'D in
the Twin Cities of the north deliver
ing the leading address of the occa.
sion to the representatives Of labor
there assembled in commemoratfon of
Labor Day. He dwelt in his usual
vigorous, thorough style on current
topics, giving timely advice as to
sound policy concerning trusts and the
labor situation.
The world values man by what he
, does; not by what he can do, or thinks,
or believes, but by what he accom-.
plishes. This is pretty hard test,
but applied to Roosevelt, aside from
his present high Office, it shows that
he has served as member of the New
York legislature, member of the ma
tional civil service commission, presi-
dent of the New York police board,
: assistant secretary of the navy, or
ganizer of a regiment known as the
Rough Riders" in which he served
in the Spanish war as lieutenant col
onel and was promoted to colonel for
gallantry at the battle of Las Quasi
mas; later elected governor of New
York; thence stepped to his present
uiSu ONCE. ne has written several
Valuable works on history; and be-
sides that has made history. Had it
not been for his vigorous methods in
the navy department preceding the
late war, when he broke red tape and
turned down idols at Washington in
hurrying car loads of powder across
the continent for Dewey, our victory
in Manila might have turned into a
defeat. To show that Roosevelt is
equal to every demand, it is now learn
ed that suggestion was recently made
to him that the people of Iowa would
like to hear him on the issues of their
coming fall campaign. Promptly Tied
