TROUBLES or THE FAT MAN.

Especially When He Tries to tie His
Shoestrlns.
The fat man who was passing
through the corridor OF the county
courthouse wanted to tie his shoe, and
he knew his limitations. So he hunt
ed around for something upon which
to rest his foot. Beside the wall was
a box. and on this he placed his foot,
followed 1t with a fair proportion of
his weight, and the box collapsed with
a crash. He wiped his brow and
moved on to where a ladder was lean
ing against the wall. On this he put
his foot, and the next instant the lad
der came within an inch of falling
upon him. He delivered himself OF
one ~forceful word and waddled out Of
the building, dragging his shoestrings
behind him.-New York Evening Post.

Breanuhan's hating Advice.

In an article recently written on the
science OF batting, Roger Bresnahan.
the New York Nationals heavy hitting
center fielder. gives some advice which
should be valuable 10 amateur players.
He says:
"The man who stands close to the
plate while at bat and bears in mind
that every pitcher. no matter who he Is
or what his reputation may be, must
put the ball over the rubber, can, with
practice become a good and, / may
say, a dangerous hitter even If he has
not got the natural ability Of some of
the great batters Of the past and pres
ent. One very bad fault many young
players have is the habit of pulling
away from the plate. as II is called,
when a ball looks MS though It might
possibly lift the batter. How many
times have you seen a man step back
from a curved ball which a second aft
er "cut the plate" and was called o
strike. much TO his discontinue? Tie
remedy for this. | think. Is a simple
one, which can be mastered by any
young man possessing the necessary
confidence 1t Is simply TO step for
ward and meet the ball before IL cross
es the plate. In this way the ball is al
ways in front OF the batter, and he is,
so to speak, on top Of it before IT
breaks"

FOR THE CHILDREN
Youthful Aeronauts.

Two children recently made a Sue
cessful balloon ascent in England, the
occasion being a military fete at the
Alexandra palace. The occupants or
the car were NJ. Ruguste Gaudrou.
his little daughter Ena. aged nine, and
Master Dudley Barton, aged thirteen,
the son Of Dr Barton, who is building
the great air ship at the palace at the
present time. The balloon started in a
southerly direction and remained in
view for about twenty minutes, when
It entered the clouds. Nothing more
was heard Of the balloon until the occu-
pants reached home at about o'clock
the next morning after having had q
most enjoyable and interesting trip,
during the course OF which they crossed
and recrosscd the Thames on no less
than flve occasions. The highest alti-
tude attained was 5000 feet, at which
height the reflection OF the sun on the
masses Of white clouds below was
quite dazzling. and the clothes Of the
aeronauts were covered with hoar frost.
At one time It was feared they would
have to descend into the Thames, as the
wind had dropped almost TO q dead
calm and the balloon hung continuous
" for an hour oyer the river. At S
o'clock, however, little puff OF wind
took them over marshy spot two
miles on the other side of Greenhithe
and NJ. Gaudron took immediate nd.
vantage Of this and opened the valve
when the party made safe though
somewhat rupid descent. These are
probably the youngest aeronauts who
have ever made a journey together in
q free balloon.
