Capitalists in Chicago, where there

their money to venture. One of

1t was pointed out to several
critics who were asked to look over
the field to see if it were ready for Il

research brought to light the fact
that in Indiana, at Ft. Wayne, In
dianapolis, Richmond, Muncie, Ander-

become a fixed thing in the winter
routine of indoor sports and amuse-
ments. Details of finances from
these towns were not cbt..inable, bur
it was urged that if the ventures
were not money-maling ones they
would not be conducted. So the cap

story Told Of Mr.. Depey.

1t is told of Chauncey Depew that
he proved of considerable interest to
the small boy of family on whom
he once made call. After dinner,
he and the head of the house were
closeted together for two hours or
longer. When the senator had de-
parted, the boy inquired the identity
of the important looking visitor.
Chat, my son, is Chauncey Depew,
the greatest story-teller in America"
explained the father. The business
that had kept Mr.. Depew and the
father closeted together for so long
brought the former back in a few
days. The boy was playing near the
house as Depew approached, and,
running up to the visitor exclaimed:
"l'll go tell pop you're coming. I
know who you are-Mr. Depew, the
greatest liar in America!"

watched the lisps of her sisters and
brother while they wrestled with the
fascinating 'beautiful'' word. with re-
suits SO various, she suddenly switched
off, her merry eyes twinkling as she did
it, and said:
Il fink my mammy's Pwitty."
There was a little mischief in the
my" too, and for good reasons.
1t would never have occurred to you,
perhaps, seeing the golden curls lying
against mammy's dark neck, that the
wee maid Louise was her namesake,
but such she was in truth.
1t was on a Christmas morning when
the third little daughter arrived at the
great house, during snowstorm; and
when, rot long after, old nanny
trudged in, carrying one and leading
two toddlers to the bedside to welcome
the brand-new sister, the white mara
ma raised iss' happy face from the pill
low and said:
This is to be your special little
'lady-baby,' nanny dear, and we are
going to let you name her under one
condition, and that is that you may
not call her for her own mamma
The children's mothers name was
Katharine, name which was quite out
OF fashion in those days, though it has
since come back with all sorts of varia-
tions and spellings.
Well, when the mother had begun to
speak, and nanny understood that
she was saying something special
about her claim to this fresh babyling,
her tender old heart was so touched
that for minute she could not be sure
of her voice.
But after q little while, when Joy and
surprise had settled into sweet pride
and content, what do you suppose
nanny said?
is you for sho' in earnest, missy?"
She always called the children's moth
er missy. ''Is you gwine femme name
de new tady-baby, sho' 'nough?"

So the wee ':lady-baby" became

of the housewife. ''Sclaffing" the
floor surface or rubbing the nap from
the carpet were too much for her.
But with blow golf the means of
propulsion and the manner of play
ing the game, to say nothing of the
safety of the golf ball used, are fac
tors in recommending it to careful
housekeepers. The ball is almost
identically the same as that used IN
ping-pong, is light as a feather and
bounds harmlessly against furniture,
glassware and costly bric-a-brac. Be
sides the shots are not made from 4
distance-if the course is long one
hole affair, number of shots are re-
quired to reach the green depend
ing upon the strength of the contest
ant in working the air pump. The
latter has rubber nozzle which
rests horizontally on the carpet or
floor when it is intended to put the
stream of air directly against the
celluloid ball.
By regulating the strength of the
blast to the distance you have to

proach the sloping disk that serves
as hole on the imaginary green"
Then comes the real tug of war. The
ball is so light that it obeys the
slightest gust and it is extremely
difficult to get it to go straight 10
the disk and up the sides to the hole
in the tin at the summit. The
slanted side of the disk will defect
the ball if too much air is pumped,
as readily as does blade of spear
grass on the al fresco green at the
golf course defect the gutta percha
golf ball, and the player often finds
he has putted farther from the hole
than he was at the start of the put
ting. Skill may be developed in the
use of the pump and the ball may he
sent into the tin hole from a distance
of three feet in one stroke. OF
course the score of this elbow game
is kept just as is an outdoor golf
game-strokes count and medal and
match play rounds may be contested
on any one-hole course in any home
on cold winters night.

who arranged the sport so that it took
hold with the country with paid play
ers putting up the competition, and
from the inception of professional
baseball he has held some sort OF an
office.
"Why has Nick Young been able to
hold office so long-during all of the
baseball wars and in all sorts of
troublesome times?" asked an GATOR
at the annual meeting. Because he
was diplomat" was the reply. 1t
said of Uncle Nick by aggressive
members of the league year ago that
the time had come when his long ca
reer as executive of that organizat ion
had to be terminated. The league had
the fight of its existence on its hands
and strenuous work was required of
it's president. Uncle Nick counseled
for peace instead of war, and the lit
tie gentleman was ground between the
rocks when the Spalding-Freedman
factions tore up the league and got an
executive committee of three to take
the place of president.
However, Mr.. Young had steered the
baseball ship for so many years, his
bitterest foes in the reorganization
did not have the heart to remove from
baseball such veteran figure, SO they
made him secretary of the league. The
lusty rival American league made it so
warm for the older organization that
a call went up for younger and more
aggressive official. This reached the
ears of Uncle Nick, and slowly and re-
luctantly he came to the conclusion
that it was time for him to step asidel

that at one time dominated the entire
field, could not counsel anything but
peace.

BATTLE WITH EAGLE.

Mr.. Allen. who is cigar manufac-

party of Galesburg friends in the
The party had fair bunch of dogs,
mostly coon dogs, and was expecting
to get results in short order. The
dogs were ranging the woods for
coon and were exceedingly busy for
about two hours. Along about mid
night the party heard the dogs bay
ing and barking at a furious rate in
the woods off toward the creek, a
quarter of mile away.
AS the party approached the spot
where the dogs were assembled they
came to the conclusion that the dogs
had simply gone crazy, as they were
not near tree, but were, instead,
running up and down the bank of the
creek and barking at some big, dark
object on a stump ten or fifteen feet
from the edge.
1t was dark night and at first the
coon hunters could not distinguish
what the object was. Mr.. Allen said
it was bird of some sort, probably
an owl, but in any event he intended
to get a closer view.
Taking his ak, he waded in toward
the bird, while his companions held
their torches high on the hank TO
