q Three-Eye = Affairs i'm
Good Shape.

1t is probable that either Rockford
or Cedar Rapids will be dropped from
The circuit of the Three-Eye baseball
league next season to make room for
Peoria. which has surrendered its
Western league franchise and is now
rapping for admittance to the Three
Eye.
President Ed Holland, who spent
Yesterday in Rock Island, departed to-
day for Peoria to investigate the sit
uation there. Peoria, aside from be-
ing larger and better baseball town
than either Rockford or Cedar Rap
ids. is more favorably situated. and
its admission to membership would
result in a considerable saving in rail-
road fare. if nothing else.
Rockford has been on the ragged
edge ever since the organization of
the Three-Eye league with reference
to attendance 1t would have scratch
ed a year ago but for the intercession
of President NJ. H. Sexton Cedar
Rapids is not much better.
At all events. Peoria should be TAX
en- in, and President Holland has about
made up his mind to make such Il
recommendation at a special meeting
of the league he expects to call IN
December for the adoption of the
schedule, the election of the board of
directors, posting of the seasons
guarantee and the transaction of un-
finished business. so that there will
be a clean slate when the season of
1904 opens.
Holland Is Now President.
President Holland yesterday posted
his $4,000 bond. with a number of
Bloomington citizens as sureties, and
formally assumed the office of league
executive. The affairs of the office
were found to be in first class shape,
and all moneys, accounts and records
were turned over to Mr.. Holland. The
money consisted of $3,040.31, repre-
senting the sinking fund and 5000 in
guarantees that have already been
posted by three clubs. The records
Of the office will he shipped to Mr..
Holland at Bloomington next week.
He has not yet selected his secretary.
In further discussing the duties of
the office of president. Mr.. Holland
made it plain that he did not propose
to neglect his private affairs. which
are rather extensive. as he is head of
n large bottling concern at ElQqming-
ton and is interested in various other
enterprises. fer baseball. However.
the office would receive all the atten-
ton that he possibly could afford. and
he hoped TO be able to give Il credit
able administration. Mr.. Sexton as
sured him he would always have his
counsel or assistance in any capacity
looking to the welfare of the Three
Eye league. One would infer from
Mr. Hollands actions he had been
pushed into the office. He does not
warm up to the berth the way Il real
baseball enthusiast should.

These thoughts should come to three
classes OF people.
First of all to those who are finding
life empty and meaningless. who have
spent what resources they have for them

to obtain from life that which satisfies
and brings pleasure and JOY. Lay the axe

point OF view. Cease the effort TO find
qualification for yourself and try to find
IL for another.
You have changed then your method
OF life and you will have a taste OF the

brings Joy and peace such as the world
does not know. Forget yourself and re-
member the needs OF another and behold

THE OTHER CLASS.

These thoughts lead us to a second
class Of people. a class to which most OF
US belong Some OF us belong to the
first class as WELL all Of us have tasted
at times Of the bitterness OF life that Is
poisoned with the worm wood and gall
OF emptiness and unproitableness. We
have felt the lack OF resources within
ourselves to entertain even ourselves for
a single hour. Yet we have professed to
be followers OF Jesus, the crucified Christ.
Perhaps we have mistaken the mean
ing OF our profession and have over
looked his teaching. A passive obedience
to His Will. restraint from sin. a union
with the church, n public confession OF
discipleship with Him has been assumed
as religion.
We are mistaken. What we have been
describing is religion. A life full OF eter-
nal strength springing up unto eternal
life. Religion is not something added TO
life. IL IL life. Our ennui and discomfort
are due to the fact that we do not live.

saving and investment plans are our
favorites

answer that we can give to that is
that We paid a $4,000 claim in New
