THE PITCHER.

Bonneville Journal1
The pitcher takes a telling pose,
And holds the ball on high,
Then turns it with his finger tips
His new in-curve to try.
Then swiftly swings his strong right
The vicious deed is done!
The umpire lodges skillfully
And hoarsely shouts: "Ba-all one!"
The pitcher takes his pose again,
Both feet firm on the ground,
Again, he hold the ball on high,
And slowly turns it round.
Then once more he uncoils himself
The batsman TO undo.
The ball smacks in the catcher's glove,
The umpire shouts: "Ba-all two
The pitcher fercely grinds his heel,
In desperation grim.
Once more he holds the ball on high
All eyes are fixed on him.
Once more he swiftly lets it drive
Then iierceiy slaps his knee
Because the umpire coldly cries,
In foghorn tones: Ba-all three.''
The pitchers face is firm and set,
A wild CLEAN in his eye
Shows his determination, as
He holds the ball on high.
He hurts it in-the bat swings round,
And meets it With a thud!
The ball scars DER the left field fence!
The pitchers name is Mud!

DOCTOR POINTS OUT EVILS
OF OUR MODERN SOCIETY

DIR. Arthur Macdonald, specialist of
the United States Bureau of Edu.
cation, has shown in the report he
recently made to Congress that crimes
are on the increase out OF all relative
proportion to the increase of popula.
ton. The report covers forty years,
and deals with suicide, insanity and
other forms of mental and physical
obllquity, as well as with crime.
In accounting for the increase in
crime DR.. Macdonald set down as one
cause the constant Capitalization of
population, and as another the In.
creased consumption of sugar, malt
liquors and other less solid foods over

BRISK WALKING A CURE
FOR ALL BODILY ILLS

Truly this is a day Of fads, but
none so sensible or beneficial as the
walking fad, which society in every
degree has now adopted" remarked a
prominent physician, says the Wash.
ington Post.
There is nothing like the open air,
and people are now beginning to rea-
lie this. There are always a number
of people who seem happiest when
they go about with long faces and sour
looks, and are ever ready to tell you
in doleful tones that life is not worth
the living. If you will observe. these
are the people who wear heavy over
shoes, wrap up to their eyes in wooden
clothing and buy variety of patent
medicines, much of which could be
dispensed with by suitable warm cloth
ing and a good brisk walk every day.
Walking is an ideal exercise and,
apart from the great benefit derived
from the action of the muscles brought
into play by the movement of the legs
and arms, the mind, too, is helped by
this wholesome practice.
1T Is only natural to suppose that
the brain tires of monotonous sur
roundings, the same scenery, the awful
sameness of things, all soon pals
upon one, and the result is frequently
fatal, certainly accountable to large
degree for many nervous disorders,
