Before yesterdays game the local
fans shook their heads and loo ked

team led by one of the best pitchers
in the Three-I league to 60 against.
it was plainly uphill work. But
when it was over the fans were q
tickled lot and Manager Tate had
pushed his position in the public eye
up another good big notch.
When, in the first inning. the men
from Cedar Rapids ran three times
around and Norcom, the burly left
handed centerfielder. had put one over
the back fence, the despair was
genuine. Everyone frightened up
a bit, though, after Tate's Sham
rocks helped themselves to two
in the same inning and each side
handed the other a nest of three COOS c
eggs.
In the fifth the visitors chased each
other around the bases four times be-
fore the third man went the trip and
everybody said dts all up" Miller
next fouled out, Smith died
on q grounder that went against
Hill and Secretary Eddy went
back to get what consolation there
was to be had counting up the gate

knocked little one that nobody was
responsible for and was safe Poor

were full and the bleacners woke up.

link had been sitting on the end of
the bench thinking about Norcom's
drive over the fence and his duty had
become clear. He seized his new bat
and laid it caressingly against the
pigskin. The latter rose in all its
majesty and went higher and further
and on and over. and did not come
back again. This put Rock Island
one to the good and in the next in
ming the matter was cinched with
four more. The visitors played ball
to the bitter end, but the best they
could do was to get one in the ninth.

Tate is batting like Trojan.

Get boy to carry bats and keep
the plate clean.
That was one of the worst lam
hastings Ashton ever received.
Hopkins plays in left just as he
does in center-everything that gets
against him sticks.

Tate behind the bat.

ton of official scorer for the home

Belden Hills men are ball players

OF nothing are We so liberal as advice.
The misfortunes of other people we all
can bear with an heroic constancy.
None but the contemplate are apprehen-
siyc of contempt.
We confess small faults. by way of in
s;nuating that We have no great ones.
In the distress of our best friends We ever
find something not displcasing to US.
Gratitude. in most men. arises from a
Eecret desire to receive greater favors.
Those on whom we confer benefits we are
fonder OF than those from whom we receive
them.
If lovers are never weary OF each other,
It is because they are always talking of
themselves.
We easily forgive those who weary US:
but VIC never forgive those who are wearied
by us.
Hypocrisy is the homage hat vice pays
TO virtue.
Passion often makes a fool OF a man of
sense; sometimes II makes a man OF sense

49, How can we expect that a friend should
keep our secret, whilst we are convincing
him that II is more than we can do our
selves?
We choose rather TO talk Ill Of ourselves
than not to talk at all.
Ouarrels would never be lasting were the
fault only on one side.

SMOKED AND DOUBTED EIGHT HOURS.

, He daily took his four stated meals, appro-
priating exactly an hour to each; he smoked
and doubted eight hours. and he slept the
remaining twelve of the four and twenty.
Such was the renowned Nauter Van Twill
ler-a true philosopher, for his mind was
either elevated above. or TRANQUILITY settled
below, the cares and perplexities Of this
world. He had lived in it for years with
out feeling the least curiosity to know
whether the sun revolved around 1t or 1t
round the sun; and he had watched for at
least half a century the smoke curling from
his pipe to the ceiling without once troubling
his head with any Of those numerous theo-
ries by which a philosopher would have per-
picked his brain. in accounting for its rising
above the surrounding atmosphere.
In his council he presided with great state
and solemnity. He sat in a huge chair Of
solid oak. hewn in the celebrated forest OF
The Hague. fabricated by an experienced
Zimmerman of Amsterdam. and curiously
carved about the arms and feet into exact
limitations of gigantic eagles claws. In
stead OF q scepter. he swayed a long Turk
ish pipe. wrought with jasmine and amber.
which had been presented to a stakeholder
OF Holland at the conclusion Of q treaty
with ono OF the petty Barbary powers. In
this stately chair would he sit. and this
magnificent pipe would he smoke. shaking
his right knee with n constant motion and
fixing his eyes for hours together upon a
little print Of Amsterdam which hung in a
black frame against the opposite wall Of
the council chamber. Nay. it has even been
said that, when any deliberation Of e%xtraor-
binary length and intricacy was o" the
carpet. the Wouter would shut his
eyes for full two hours at a time. that he
might not be disturbed by external objects:
and at such times the Internal commotion
of his mind was evinced by certain regular
cultural sounds. which his admirers de-
clared were merely the noise of conflict
made by his contending doubts and opinions.
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-04-07

I which ordinary mortals would rashly deter
! mine at first glance. he would put on a
vague, mysterious look. shake his capacious
head, smoke some time in profound silence,
and at length observe that "he had his
doubts about the NATTER; which gained
him the reputation Of a man slow OF be-
lief and not easily imposed upon. What is
more. it gained him a lasting NAME, for to
this habit of the mind has been attributed
his surname Of Twiller, which is said to be
n corruption of the original Twijfler-or, in
plain English, doubter. .
The person Of this illustrious old gentle
man was formed and proportional as
though 1t had been nodded by the hands Of
some cunning Dutch statuary. as a model
OF majesty and lordly grandeur. He was
exactly five feet six inches In height, and
six feet five inches In circumference. His
head was a perfect sphere. and Of such
stupendous dimensions that dame Nature,
with all her sex's ingenuity, would have
been puzzled to construct a neck capable of
supporting It.: wherefore she wisely declined
the attempt, and settled It firmly on the
top Of his backbone just between the Shout
ders. His body was oblong and particular
ly capacious at bottom, which was wisely
ordered by Providence. seeing that he was
j man Of sedentary habits and very
averse to. the idle labor of walking. His
legs were short. but sturdy in proportion
to tka weight they had to sustain, so that,
when erect, he had not a little the appear
ance Of a beer barrel on sllids. His face
that infallible index OF the mind-presented
a vast expanse, unfurrowed by any of those
lines and angles which disfigure the human
countenance with what IS termed express
sion. Two small gray eyes twinkled feebly
in the midst, like two stars of lesser magni-
tude in a hazy armament, and his fulfilled
cheeks, which seemed to have taken toll
of everything that went into the mouth,
wero curiously notified and stroked with
dusky red, like a spitzenberg apple.
His habits were as regular as his person

The renowned Wouter Tor Walter) Van
Twiller was descended from 4 long line of
Dutch burgomasters, who had successfully
dozed away their lives and grown fat upon
the bench of magistracy Of Rotterdam; and
who had comported themselves with such
singular wisdom and propriety that they
werc never either heard of or talked Of
which. next to being universally applauded.
should be the object Of ambition of all mag
tstrates and rulers. There are two opposite
ways by which some men make a figure in
the world-one by talking faster than they
think, and the other by holding their
tongues and not thinking at all. By the
first, many a smatterer acquires the repu-
tation of a man Of quick parts; by the other,
many a d~underpate. like the owl. the stu
pidest Of birds. comes to be considered the
very type OF wisdom. This, by the way. is a
casual remark, which I would not, for the
universe. have it thought 1 apply to Gov
ernor Van Twiller. 1t is true he was a man
shut up within himself, like an oyster. and
rarely spoke except In monosyllables: but,
then. 1t was allowed he seldom said q fool
ish thing. So invincible was his gravity that
he was never known to laugh or even TO
smile through the whole course Of a long
and prosperous life. Nay. if a joke were
uttered in his presence, that set light-mind-
ed hearers in a roar. it was observed to
throw him into a state Of perplexity. Some
ines he would deign to inquire into the
matter, and when. after much explanation,
the Joke was made as plain as a pikestaff,
he would continue to smoke his pipe in ST.
lence. and at length. knocking out the
ashes. would exclaim: well! 1 see nothing
in all that to laugh about"
With all his reflective habits, he never
made up his mind on a subject. His adher-
ents accounted for this by the astonishing
magnitude OF his ideas. He conceived every
subject on so grand a scale that he had not
room in his head to turn 1t over and exam
Inc both sides OF II. Certain 1t is that II

VERSES FROM HEINE.

Frankly, this young man l honour.
He exhibits graces rare.
Often he has stood me oysters,
Also Rhlne-wine and liqueurs.
And his clothes exactly 1T him.
And his tie proclaims the swell;
And he turns up every morning.
And he hopes I'm pretty well.
Talks about my reputation,
And my wit, and grace Of style;
And he'd do, II I would let him,
oh. a thousand things the while!
And at nights, in rooms surrounded
by the fairest Of the fair.
He declaims my Heavenly poems
With a soft distracted air.
Truly, Is not this refreshing?
Such young men as him 1 praise
Are not common; they are growing
Rare n rarer nowadays.
A young man loves a maiden
Who other hopes has fed,
And her love loves another love,
And to his choice Is wed.
The maiden marries straightway
The handiest man to be had,
And this is simple ~cussedness,
And her young man is mad.
It Is an ancient drama,
But any time twill fit
Don't play first gentleman" unless
You want you heart to split.

Are they shadows that we see?
And can shadows pleasure give?
Pleasures only shadows be,
Cast by bodies We conceive,
And are made the things we deem
In those figures which they seem.
But these pleasures vanish fast
Which by shadows are exPrest;
Pleasures are not II they last,
In their passage is their best:
Glory Is most bright and gay
In q flash and SO away.
Feed apace then, greedy eyes. .
On the wonder you behold;
Take 1t sudden as 1t flies,
Though you take 1t not to hold:
When you Eyes have done their part,
Thought must length it in the heart.
