out irresistible inducements for the

was a most desirable offer, Just the
kind of a one that the entire family
desired. He painted in glowing words
how they could escape the severe win
ter Of the north and enjoy the balmy
and wholesome breezes of the land Of
flowers. As result contract was
drawn up, duck suits were ordered
at a local establishment, and the fam
lily began making preparations to start,
but the hitch came when Horton and
two Of the Rickers, Ernest s., who is
manager Of the orchestra, and John s.,

the tickets for the trip. In that city
Horton secured $3.50 from krnest and
under pretence of purchasing the pas

~"Yes." said the Suburban Philoso.
pher. as he watched the growing
youth Of the village trample down his
grass plot, 'all the worlds a baseball
game, and all the men and women
merely players; they have their In.
nings and their outs. and one man In
his time makes many errors"
That's So" said the next.door neigh.
Dor as he leaned heavily on the handle
OF the lawn mower. life is a baseball
game and some of us seldom score.
Fate does the pitching, and it is some
times swift ball that is sent across
the plate; one we cannot hit, and the
umpire that silent voice within us
that says Yes and No to all things,
puts 1t down as strike. and we go
wondering and laundering along"
"Manys the time" said the Sub.
urban Philosopher, as he brought out
the family hose and began frescoing
scallops In the dust, we've been to
bat and the ball wasn't slow. The ball,
you know, is opportunity in our game,
and sometimes fate sends it fast and
sometimes slow. Many times 1t is
tossed to us as II some child had
pitched 1t in play. We lay back with
the tst, hit it for all it is worth, and
1t goes right in the hands Of some
lucky fellow out in the center field OF
prosperity and we are down and out
and back on the players bench with
the sweaters and the sponges."
"And again." said the next-door
neighbor, as he carelessly tore down
about three yards of the trailing
honeysuckle, 1--WE do make a good hit,
send the ball of opportunity whizzing
along through the grass past the sec.

hands, and we manage to get as far
