Tho Boy Who Live. Next Door.

The Boy Who Lives Next Door.
Oft I've envied goodly people who
could boast a model boy,
The kind that will not fight, nor shout.
nor break each costly toy;
Who never tracks the mud about the
tidy house, nor sings
His playthings round the parlor floor
my boy did all these things!
But whenever l would scold him, and
his needless ways deplore.
1 would always bid him pattern by the
Boy That Lives Next Door.
Yet the playthings would get broken
in the careless little hand,
And my head came nigh to bursting
when he brought his pirate band
To tear the house to atoms, while
talked and talked in vain
To keep the small, warm fingers from
my polished window pane,
Still, whene'er his brand new trous-
ers or his ruffled shirt he tore,
He would say The didn't care to hear
of that Good Boy Next Door,"
Now at last I've perfect quiet-there
is stiffness every day,
And my window panes so grimy are
grown clean and white for aye;
And l strain mine eyes to catch the
smallest mud print on the floor,
But alas! my home is spotless as the
Boys That Lives Next Door.
Now listen-till my yearning ears do
ache to catch sound,
And If only l could find a shoe or
broken toy around.
But ah, no! l only hearken, hearken
vainly evermore,
And only hear the laughter of the
Boy That Lives Next Door,

WHEN BARNEY WAS IN BAD.

One afternoon, late in September, the
ninth inning came on with the score
Cincinnati 8, Louisville 8. Suddenly,
after two of the colonies were out Dex-
ter made hit; single after single fol-
lowed. and the runs began to roll in.
The crowd went wild. Barney Dreyfus
was up in the grandstand, jumping up
and down, yelling at the top Of his
voice, and trying to get $4,000 worth
of satisfaction out of the game. Big
Hans Wagner soaked out triple, and
two runs came home, tying the score.
Barney jumped to his feet to give
great yell. His voice broke, piped
shrilly, and died away in a faint
screech. Turning to companion Bar
ney, who was barely able to speak,
said: dot is right, dot is right. The
first time dis season vot got chance
to yell den lose mine voice."

Mr.. Ebbetts, say.
YOUNG ISSUES MANIFESTO.

The minor leagues, which decided
not to adopt all of the amendments
made by the National League to the
playing rules, have been notified by
President Young that the code~must be
lived up to the letter. Article 80 of the
National Agreement covers the case.
The minors are therein required to fol-
low the rules, under penalty OF forfeit
ing their rights to protection. 1t is
better for base ball to have the same
system of conducting games in all or
CARNATIONS, whether professional or
amateur. Without regard to the prac-
ticabil1ty of the recent changes in the
code, 1t is to be regretted that the
American League games will not be
conducted under the regulations which
will govern the National League con-
tests. Two codes will cause confusion,
not alone in the cities, which have OPP
position clubs, but throughout ANA
teur circles. Some of the college and
amateur clubs will adopt the National
Leagues new rules, but majority of
them will follow the example of the
American League and observe the code
of 1900. The rule makers in both the
National and American Leagues have
the same OBJECT in view in making
changes in the game. They are intent
on adding to the attractiveness of base
ball. If the patrons of the National
League show that they do not approve
the recent amendment, they will be re-
pealed; If the American League finds
that it's games are not acceptable to its
supporters the innovations introduced
by its rival and approved by the public
will be utilized.

The Bermuda Lily.

The Bermuda lily was introduced
into this country in 1875. Two plants
in bud and bloom were brought to
Philadelphia by lady and given to a
florist. This florist, approaching their
beauty and value, cultivated the plants
for the bulbs. Since that time the ex,
porting Of the lily-bulbs has been one
Of the industries of Bermuda. Very
few lilies are exported, as the cut
flowers do not arrive in good condi-
ton. Nor does it pay to export the
growing plants. because Of the duty
and the cost OF freighting so delicate
cargo. The bulbs are exported all
over the world and are a valuable
source of revenue. Thus these great
beautiful lilies have new signif1-
canoe. They bloom that, dying, they
may come to life under new condf-
lions. where they surpass in beauty
what they were in their native home.
The cultivating Of the bulbs means
special care Of the flowers, for to this
care is due the quality OF the bulb

Swift Travellers.

We talk a great deal about the speed
of our railway trains and of our ocean
greyhounds, but we are apt to over
look the fact that there are some swift
travellers where no rails have ever
been laid and no steamship has
steered her course. The carrier pigeon
will fly at least thirty miles an hour,
and some have been known to travel
at the rate of sixty or even ninety
miles an hour. Wild pigeons often fly
hundreds of miles day to feed, re-
turning to their roosts at night.
Audubon says they travel mile a
minute.
Water-fowls, gulls, terms and petrels
literally fly on the wings of the wind,
If surprised in storm. They will rise
high in the air, facing a gale, and
making a little progress forward as
we'll as upward. Then they will sud
denly descend with rapid flight to-
ward one side of the storm-swept path,
but falling off at the same time in the
direction of the blowing wind. Once
more they will sweep around and face
u,
striking desperately out toward the
direction of the storm, until finally
they work themselves to one side of
the storm center.
During tremendous wind storms
birds may sometimes be seen flying
overhead at great height When
this is noted it may be taken for
granted that the upper air is com
paratively quiet, and that the storm is
confined chiefly to the lower regions.
1t is when the storm extends too high
up that they drift away with the wind,
or fly away on the edge of the hurri-
cane. Migrating birds fly over dis
tances so great that they must needs
have great strength as well as great
speed in fight. Bobolinks often rear
their young on the shores of Lake
Winnipeg, and like true aristocrats go
to Cuba and Porto Rico to spend the
winter. To do this, their fight must
twice cover a distance of more than
$500 miles, or more than fifth of the
circumference of our earth each year.
The little redstart travels 5000 miles
twice year. What wonderful mech
anism it is that, in a stomach no larg-
er than pea, will manufacture its
own fuel from two or three slim cater
pillars, fly, moth, or spider, and
use it with such economy as to be able
to propel itself through the air during
the whole night at rate of about fifty
miles an hour, and at the same time
keep its own temperature at about 1O4
degrees. Not all the swift travellers,
however, make their journeys through
the air. Some fish attain great speed
in the water. The salmon and the
swordfish are the fastest swimmers of
all the forked-tail fishes. Only fast
running horse could outstrip salmon.
for it swims mile in less than two
minutes, and any horse could be left
behind in long race, for the fish
can cover thirty miles in an hour.
When leisurely ascending rivers, with
frequent rests in attractive pools, it
averages from fifteen to TWENTY-FIVE
miles day. In leaping, the salmon
can easily beat the horse, for salmon
have leaped up waterfalls twelve feet
high, and he prepares for leap Just
as boy does, with short, sharp run.
If the water at the foot of the dam or
fall is not deep enough to allow this
preparatory run, he cannot jump

to induce her mother to come and
live with her. But the old lady was
stanch to the old homestead, where
she had lived ever since she and her
husband came from Limerick, ireland,
over fifty years ago. Her husband and
her son Arthur had died there, and
there the old lady elected to end her
days. While Miss Rehan lay in bed
Frustrated with grippe her mother
died. Her old nurse, Mary Murphy,
who had been In the Crehan family
for over sixty years. became uncon-
scious the day before her mistress
died and has not spoken to nor recog-
nized anyone since. The fact that she
could not be with her mother at the
end was bitter blow to Miss Rehan,
and 1t seems all the harder that it
should have fallen upon her now, just
as she was resuming her stage career,
which had been brought to tempo
rary close by the death of her old
manager and friend. 1t is not gem
arally known that Miss Rehan's name

light Of her appearance at Daly's a
geographical error made her name
brear Ada G. Rehan. Subsequently
she dropped the &c" and became
known simply as Ada Rehan. Her
brother Arthur, later on. for business
purposes. adopted the same name.

ping at one of the downtown stores.
The mother dropped nickel in the
machine and Mary stood listening in
ecstacy with her small mouth agape
and her eyes filled with wonder. The
selection was one of Sousa's band
pieces that stirred the little girls
heart from the start to the finish. At
the conclusion of the piece Mary re-
moved the tubes from her ears with
apparent regret that the band had
stopped playing. While her mothe.'
was busy in another part of the store
she walked around the wonderful

WITH THE p1rrsBuRa CLUB.

He began the season of 1900 with
the Pittsburg club, having been trans

Louisville team. Once he shut Cincin-

only three safe hits, but on July Z was

Of the Milwaukee club, American
League, engaged him, and once he
pitched two games on one afternoon
against Comiskey's Chicago White
Stockings, in which he won both, the
first one lasting seventeen innings and
the second one five. He won a twelve
inning game from Kansas City and one
Of ten innings from Detroit, and pitch
ed in twelve inning tie game against
Chicago. At that stage of the pennant
race, when every game meant great
deal to Milwaukee, the loss of Waddell
was a severe blow, for after pitching
on August 81 he returned to the Pitts
burg team appearing with the latter
against the Bostons, at Boston, Sept. 3.
when Pittsburg won by II to l, the
home team making only four safe hits.
Later he twice held the St. Louis down
to four safe hits, and once shut it out
without run. He participated in
twenty-five championship games with
Pittsburg last year.
