Nashville Aug. 12-(Special)-S Selma opened her series of games with the local team here today on diamond that wa; wet and sticky. It being the nome teams first game since their return from tour of the circuit, good crowd was out con siderinE the weather. It was a victory for the home team the Fishermen Win ming by a score of II to 6. The game was fast and interesting. Selma played sharp and snappy and lost because the batters failed to connect with BlaCkburn's Renders at the right time. Both pitchers were hit freely with the local team get ting their hits at oppo~tune times. Baker was given excellent support throughout and selma played one of the incest fielding games that has been seen here this sea son Busch. Stouch and Leighton of Selma played brilliantly. Leighton's stop of two hot line drives that looked good for three bases were far the prettiest plays of the season on a local ground From the start 1t looked as if Selma would have a walk-over. Baker was effective in h.s pitching and kept the Nashville hoEs guessing up to the ith inning when they hit for six singles. with a total or olSnt bases and five runs. The visitors took the lead in the opening inning. A single by Clifford. a sacrifice hit by Fender. two bases on balls and singles by Leighton ana

Two Religions.

A woman sat by hearth side place
Reading a book, with a pleasant face,
Till child came up with childish frown
And pushed the book, saying ''Put it
down."
Then the mother, slapping his curly head,
Said, troublesome child, go off to bed;
A great deal of Chrst'S life | must know
To train you up as a child should 60"
And the child went Off to bed to cry
And denounce religion-by and by.
Another woman bent DER book
With d smile of JOY and an intent look,
Till child came up and logged her knee,
And said of the book, ''Put it down-take
me-
Then the mother sighed as she stroked his
head,
Saying softly, 81 never shall get it read;
But I'll try by loving to learn His will,
And His love into my child instill.'
That child went to bed without sigh
And will love religion-by and by.

Her Fairy Feet.

"Bring me tiny mouse's skin,"
The boisterous tanner cried;
SIT must be as rose leaf thin
And scarce three fingers wide"
He seized the fragile tiny bit
Within his brawny hand
A nd cast it in the Seething pit;
And so the skin was tanned.
Then came cobbler to his side
With tools the cobblers use,
And deft they wrought that mouSe'S hide
Into pair of shoes.
"Tell me-" asked, so cobbler, tell,
For whom these morceaux be?'

For his true love-" quoth he.
"Where dwells this maid with fairy feet p
