HOUSE ON THE ROCKS.

Once upon a time there was an am
bilious man who desired to found a
great and prosperous house, so he
worked and worked, and then worked
more, and after that continued to
work.
While he worked and accumulated
wealth to his desire, he saved and
invested and reinvested over and over
again, while a large family was CROP
ing up under his roof.
Finally he and his children found
themselves firmly grounded in the
Four Hundred, and had no fear of any
social winds or floods that might beat
against their house.

Fast and Furious Game.

Citizens living in the vicinity of
Bell park Wednesday afternoon no
ticed clouds and clouds of dust com
ing from that direction and wondered
the reason. 1t was a negro baseball
game. The Waco yellow Jackets
were lined up against the Jacksonville
Stars, and the smoke that arose
from the battle was something to re-
member They slid on every OCCASION
They Slid to frst, they slid to second
and tfey slid to third and every time
there was slide, a cloud of dust that
completely hid the performers arose.
IN crossing the home plate an extra
slide was put on in order that the
"iln might be properly registered. The
)nly disappointing feature was in the
umpire. Clayton officiated with the
indicator and he had the big black
men SO completely bluffed that they
would not kick A negro game with
cut kicking is tame affair All
kinds of errors were made. and this
kept the crowd in a good humor. Bet
ting as to how many times a fielder
would fall down and roll over before
he got oatted ball kept the crowd
busy And Notwithstanding all that,
the dusky ball tossers accomplished
the only triple play that has been seen
On the local diamond in years. 1t
happened in the second inning, and
the Jacksonville boys did the work.
With man on second and man on
third a liner was hit directly at the
Jacksonville second baseman, who
pulled it down, stepped on the bag
and threw the runner out at third.
About 800 people, the majority OF
whom were white, witnessed the
game. Jacksonville won by a score
of II to 8.
