Spalding suggests that the key that
will unlock this situation quicker than
anything else will be for the stock
holders OF the New York club to hold
an early meeting and elect successor
to Andrew Freedman as president
AS Andy is the custodian of that key,
it is not probable that he will use it
to his own undoing. For man who
has been Officially declared out OF
baseball, Freedman is showing sur
prising vitality and eXerting consider
able influence. He has held his half
of the National league together and
won a negative victory by tying up
the organization in the courts and pre-
venting Spalding from exercising ex-
ecutive authority One faction or the
other must surrender before the sea-
son begins or both will be beaten. A
four club league cannot be successful
and neither the Spalding or the Freed
mar half of the league can equip four
other clubs with parks and players.
The first step the magnates took after
assembling last December was % de-
clare the National league perpetual.
The next move was to divide 1t into
halves. Their subsequent proceedings
indicate that they intend to go out of
the business.

WHY SHE SANG.

Bishop Paret, of Baltimore, tells an
anecdote having to do with his visit
to an Episcopal family in West Vir-
ginia. They were plain, quiet, un-
pretending, homelike folk, and did
everything possible to make the Bish-
ops visit pleasant. Learning that he
liked hard-boiled eggs for breakfast,
the hostess, herself, went into the
kitchen to prepare them. The Bish-
op, sitting in the dining room adjoin-
ing, heard her begin to sing in low
but clear, musical and feeling tone
the first verse of "Rock of Ages. !"
There was so much of the spirit of
the old hymn in her expression that
he Joined in at the fourth line, and ac-
companied her until she stopped,
which was at the end of the second
verse. When she entered the dining
room with the eggs, he asked:
"Why did you not sing the third
verse?"
"The third 7" she replied. 90!
that is not necessary, you know,
Bishop"
"Not necessary? 1 do not under
stand" he said.
"Why, don't you know the rule of
one verse for soft-boiled eggs, and
two for hard-boiled? 1t just brings
them right"

"GOO GOO EYES DEFINED.

Goo goo eyes," armament alike
of ragtime song writer and singer,
summer girl and man, chorus girls
and tenderloin badger gamesters,
were yesterday officially, legally and
judicially, but, it was feared, not
technically, practically or sufficiently
defined by Vice Chancellor Pitney,
sitting in Jersey City, in suit for
maintenance brought by wife, who
said her husband had deserted her.
Goo goo eye" and the learned
and erudite vice-chancellor, passing,
lightly huinmed, eff you love your
baby, make dem goo goo eyes
'sare attentions without intentions"
Henceforth, therefore, "goo goo
eyes" have legal and judicial mean
ing when applied to certain glance
directed by a man at woman or
vice versa. It is submitted, how
ever, with due Difference to the vice
chancellor, and with appreciation of
the conplexity Of the subject, that a
defnitisn of goo goo eyes, important
as it may be in the future, since it is
now ofidally recognized by the law,
as explaining the meaning of an overt
act, should be passed on by the high
est tribun,l in the land.
The Supreme Court of the United
States should decide whether Vice
Chancellor Pitney's definition will
stand above reversal, and, finding
flaws in it, should itself tell the world
exactly the meaning of making "goo
goo eyes,"
Most everybody knows what "goo
goo eyes" are when they see them or
feel them. Speaking generally, the
rolling of the eyes in such manner
as to express that the object at which
they are rolled is the entire sugar
trust (ncluding beet) makes "goo
goo eyes" Therefore at the begin
ming there is attention with intention.
Men make "goo goo eyes" at women
and women at men, and they marry.
There, again, is attention designedly
caused by intention. AS in the case
before the vice chancellor, there is not
always retention. Men who show
money in the tenderloin become the
targets for "goo goo eyes" They
complain at the police station and the
intention comes to light with the de-
tention. "Coon" song singers and
chorus girls make the 'goo GOO
eyes" they sing of, and on the next
night the bald-headed row watches
its flowers go over the footlights.
Any intention there? Yes, and some
times fermentation, too.
In the face of these truths, daily
self-evident, it would seem that the
vice-chancellor's decision is inherent.
ly wrong. Might this not be more
worthy of place in the dictionary Of
legal terms?

STICK TO ONE THING.

1.-The only way for man on sal
ary to make a success Of life hnanci-
ally and otherwise is to stick to one
thing" said a government employee
to reporter. Twenty years ago 1
had plenty of energy, little money
and a huge stock of ideas, deter
mined to become power in the
money market and as start dabbled
for six months or more in stocks.
That experience cost me $4,000. l
soon became convinced that l was cut
out for a druggist and straightway
invested So, 900 in a pharmacy. Cut
rates were unknown in those days,
and in short time was doing well,
but one day read of prominent
lawyer receiving $4,000 as fee for
some case, and instantly I became
imbued with the idea that 1 would
make great lawyer. l neglected my
drug business to such an extent that
in two years was $500 to the bad.
In the meantime 1 read law diligent-
ly. After a time I graduated as a
full fedged disciple of Blackstone
and hung out my shingle. Business
not coming my way as fast as |
thought it should, I opened small
hotel; result, 1900 in the hole.
"Then I tried my hand at real es-
tate, my legal training helping me
greatly, but the same old story will
have to be recorded here-failure.
By this time my money was nearly
all gone. What to do next was the
all absorbing question. One day a
friend convinced me that big money
could be made out of chickens. l in
vested every cent I had left, 81, 200,
in hens. At the end of six months
sold out my hennery for $500. Then
l got government job, and here I've
been ever since. Shortly after my
arrival in this town I purchased a lit
tie land in the northwest section.
That investment has yielded me
very handsome return, and am now
thoroughly satisfied that the only
thing for man on a salary to do is
to either put a little each month in
some good savings bank or invest his
surplus in land or bricks and mortar.
Remember one thiug-this is an age
of specialists. Stick to one thing,
make a success of it, and maybe one
of these days some big company will
offer you a princely salary for your
knowledge. A rolling stone gathers
no moss or money. - Washington

HEART sTIMULANT.

There is a deep seated belief
amounting almost to a superstition
that alcohol is very important heart
stimulant, especially when this organ
is weak. Winternitz, the great au-
thority on hydrotherapy in Germany,
has often told us of the very great
value of cold as heart stimulant or
tonic and that it is far superior to
alcohol in this respect. DR. Kellogg
gives the method of application as
follows:
"The application consists of COM
press applied to the portion of the
chest wall over the heart. This conf
prises the space bounded by the Sec
ond rib above, the right border of the
sternum, line falling half inch to
the right of the nipple and the sixth
rib below. The compress should be
large enough to cover this space and
to extend at least two inches outside
of it. Ordinarily the best effects are
produced by employing water at a
temperature of about 90 degrees.
The compress should be wrung mod
erately dry and should be very light
ly covered. 1t is desirable that cool
ing by slow evaporation should be
encouraged and be continued for
some time
DR.. Kellogg continues: "In Ger
many and France it is the custom to
administer alcohol to the patient just
before putting him in cold bath.
Some practitioners, as Winternitz,
administer a very small amount,
single mouthful of wine, for instance,
while others give brandy in consider
erable quantities. A few American
practitioners employ brandy freely
with the cold bath. The unwisdom
of this practice will be apparent on
due consideration of the following
facts:
Zone purpose in administering the
cold bath is to secure true stimulant
or tonic effect by arousing the vital
energies through excitation of the
nerve centers. Alcohol was once
supposed to be capable of effecting
this and was used for this purpose
in typhoid fever and various other
morbid conditions accompanied by
depression of tie vital forces. At
the present time, however, it is we'll
known, and with practical unanimity
admitted, that alcohol is neither
tonic nor a stimulant, but narcotic !;
that it depresses and does not excite /;
that it lessons and does not increase
the activity of the nerve centers, and
that this is true of small as we'll as
large doses, as has been shown by
the researches of careful investiga-
tors. .I"-HeaLk.

His mother was a Brown of the Massachusetts,
Who were citizens of Plymouth and those other

And they soused the wicked witches out of

On his mothers side
There was power, honor. pride
That the Browns made up splendid stock has
never been denied.

TO MY MOTHER.

Deal gently with her, Time; these many years
Of life have brought more smiles with them thar
tears.
Lay not thy hand too harshly on her now,
But trace decline so slowly on her brow
That like a sunset of the Northern cline,
Where twilight fingers in the summer time,
And fades at last into the silent night,
Ere one may note the passing of the light)
So may she pass-since tits the common lot
As one who resting. sleeps and knows it not.
