the Alerts the First of Next Week.

The game which was scheduled for
Duffy's field this afternoon between the

From the London Field.
In August last keeper brought me
two leverets only just able to feed
themselves. They had been captured
in a field of long clover their mother
being with them at the time. I put
them into low wide tin bath, wired
all round and over the top. They were
at first terrified, and sat huGdled to-
gether for the remainder of the day
and night, refusing food of any sort. In
the early hours OF the morning I sue

THE WEDDING RING.
Not Fetter, a Relic of Barbarism,
but a Symbol Of Eternity.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Fame some university professors fail
to acquire by learning they are liable
to strain after by sensatlonalism.
A class in anthropology was Informed
the other day by professor attached
to the staff of a university that the
wedding ring Is a relic OF barbarlsm.
He alleged that 1t represents the nose
ring, the fetter on the ankle or the
wrist, by which in past ages the sold
slave was led away from the mart by
his new master.
The proverbial "llttle learning" was
never more erroneous. 1t Is true that
every chain is composed Of links which
are frequently circular, but it is also
true that the circle possesses an an
cient symbolism both sublime and beau
tiful. The armament itself bent circul-
arly over mankind suggesting to their
minds inlinity and eternity. Every star
in the heavens was outlined in ring
from the time the stars sang together.
AS early as the age of Ptolemy there
was "a belief in the sphericity OF the
earth itself. Copernicus held that the
universe is spherical, basing his theory
upon the accumulated deductions OF
numerous predecessors. The ancient
Romans found by experience that the
circular arch is the architectonic form
which Is the most enduring and sup
ports the greatest proportional weight.
The circular repedts itself infinitely
throughout nature sparkling on the
tiniest drop of dew and resplendent
wherever the heavens Nisibly arch the
earth. The horizon in nature as In art
Is the horizontal base OF an aerial arch
encircling the vista.
Christianity adopted the ring as
symbol of eternity. 1t was first placed
by Christianity upon the cross, thus
blending the foundation of the Chris
tian church with a prophecy of Its en-
durance to the end of time. The cross
itself was older than Christianity. and
the circle placed upon its arms was
intended both to crown 1t with halo

THE EXCEPTIONAL MAN.
Always in Demand If He Can Do
What Employers Want Done.

What Employers Want Done.
From Andrew Carncgic's ''The Empire of Busi'
ness"
Every employer of labor Is studying
the young men around him, most anX-
ious to find one of exceptional ability.
Nothing in the world so desirable for
him and so profitable for him as such
a man. Every manager In the works
stands ready. to grasp, to utilize the
man that can do something that is
valuable. Every foreman wants to have
under him in his department able men
upon whom he can rely and whose mer-
it's he obtains credit for, because the
greatest test of ability in manager
is not the man himself, but the men
with whom he is able to surround him-
self. These books on the shelves Will
tell you the story of the rise of many
men from our own ranks. Ii is not the
educated, or so-called, classically edu-
Gated man, 1t is not the aristocracy,
1t is not the monarchs, that have ruled
the destinies of the world, either In
camp, council, laboratory or workshop.
The great inventions, the improve
ments, the discoveries in science, the
great works in literature have sprung
from the ranks Of the poor. You can
scarcely name u great inventions or
a great discovery, you can scarcely
name great picture, or great statue,
a great song or a great story, nor any
thing great that has not been the pro-
duct of men who started like your

unfortunately, this friendship is not
extended to others, who are treated
with scant courtesy il they interfere
with them. They know me very We'll,
and will sniff my hand or my clothes
most noticeably before allowing them
selves to be touched. They possess
keen intelligence, rare cunning and
logged determination that l have not
seen equaled in any other animal. They
have a peculiar method of indicating
irritation or fear; unlike rabbits, which
stamp their hind feet in similar pre-
decament, they make a loud rasplng
or grating sound with their teeth,
which is instantly received by the
others as a signal of alarm.

WHY STAY PALE.

A pity to see pale girls stay
pale and dull when it is so easy
to get SCOTS Emulsion.
One of the best things
SCOTS Emulsion does is to
give rich blood to pale girls.
The result of regular doses
of SCOTS Emulsion is an in
crease not only in the red
color of the blood and in the
appetite but in the good looks
and bright manners which
are the real charm of per.
feet health.
