lie was old and Feeble and poor-just one
Of those examples Of a man who has lived
too long Slowly he wendell his way down
the crowded street until he reached that
sign which marks the border line OF hope
aud despair for 30 many human hearts

thrradbare coat and worn shoes, II trcm-

lips and looked from his great, thoughtful,

Proud blood flushed the pallid features OF
the old man as he approached the broker
More years than man has yet lived seemed
Weighing upon the bowed head, and not
only the deep set, hungry eyes, but every

There. on the pawnbroker's ledger which
like the roll OF the recording angel, marks
the downfall Of many soul and suffering

Of this Old man, and over on the shelf IN

There was pleading In the old voice
that would have opened a harder heart
than the keeper Of the shop beneath the
three golden balls.
The night had grown old, aad II lacked
less than an hour Of the day which was TO

Blcian shivered; Il was the cold Of the
world without and the chill OF a heart

The touch Of loved one brings 10 life

sacred prize was lifted reyerentiy It's keys

THE FUTURE OF BASEBALL.
| Boston GlObe.l

No other American sport has a stron.
ger attraction for young and old than
baseball. The vicissitudes that this
game has undergone since 1t was inau.
gurated in lS45 were commented upon
recently in the Globe, when continued
prosperity was predicted for 1t in the
future.
The pessimist, however is always
abroad in the land. This sour-visaged
specimen of humanity is fond of pre-
dieting disaster to the game unless
certain things are done by the promo.
tiers and managers. His views, how.
ever, are more amusing than alarming,
because the pastime is so strongly en-
trenched in public favor that If every
club in existence in the country were
disbanded there would be new ones
organized, and the public
would flock to the playing grounds in
as great numbers as ever.
The people know what amusements
they want to patronize, and there will
always he far.seeing men with plenty
OF capital who will cater TO the great
desire to see baseball games.
