Weakneas Of Bin Lange.

"There isn't a batter alive who hasn't
his weakness" said Mike Grady
Even I.ajoie has his. You remember
what a great batter Bill LANCE, who
used to play with Chicago, was. Well
I've seen him turn as white as a sheet
when at the bat and all because he
was afraid of the pitcher. Rusie and
Meekin were the two pitchers that
LANCE stood in mortal dread Of LANCE
didn't mind the speed of the average
pitcher, but when Rusie and Meekin
turned loose their awful shoots Lange's
courage failed. I used to catch Rusie
and Meekin. When LANCE would come
to bat I would signal for an inshoot,

sHERIFFs TO TEST Law.
Want Counties to Pay Them Fol
Deputy Hire.

Fort Scott, Oct. 3.-The Kansas
Sheriffs' association has decided on a
move to compel the respective counties
of which they are officers to pay them
deputy hire for all the time they have
served since the fee and salary law has
been in effect, and a test suit will be
brought at once
Six counties in the state pay deputy
hire. The law provides salaries for the
sheriffs, but makes no provision for pay
ing deputies, though it makes it COM
pulsory for the sheriffs to appoint dep
uties. Their position is that by implica-
ton of law the counties must pay dep
uty hire. The aggregate claim will be
something over 500, 900.

SATURDAY was the last day of service OF
Elwood H. Kirkbride as Surrogate of the
county of Burlington and at noon he
closed the door of the office and trans
ferred the key to his successor. Surro.
gate Kirkbride left his trust in admirable
shape, every book and every paper was
fully recorded and in its place. 1t has
been the particular pride of Surrogate
Kirkbride to have the work of his office in
such shape that it would bear investiga.
ton at any and all times, and he has made
the task one of personal attention, to such
an extent that it has been a burden, as he
has allowed the trust to become persona
responsibility. This has been little
wearing on him but it has been beneficial
to the Office and to those who had bust
ness there. He told a friend yesterday,
when l left the office on Saturday felt
as if ton had been lifted from my
shoulders. All the work and attention
he has given to his duties have been ap.
preciated by his patrons. A man whose
knowledge of human nature was great, a
man with gentlemanly instincts, with a
kind heart an a sympathetic nature, he
has been able to quietly and intelligently
adjust himself to all matters presented to
him. Perhaps one of the testimonials he
will most highly prize is a letter from a
gentleman who has had over thirty years
business acquaintance with the Office and
who told Surrogate Kirkbride he con-
sidered his administration the best In all
that period. The retiring official leaves
the soffice with a handsome sum 10 his
credit in bank and with the hopes of a
large circle of friends that he may live
long and enjoy the fruits of his honorable
administration.
