steady market was experienced Buyers

thing changed hands as rapidly as un-
loaded Some western yearlings sold as
high as $3.50. which was a dime higher
than last Tuesday and a quarter higher

Popular Patsy ID.

One of the most remarkable In
stances of the power Of personal popu-
larity Is furnished by Manager Dono-
van Of the st. Louis Nationals. With
a weak club and holding seventh po-
sition in the league, the same place the
American club holds, he draws more
people than the Americans, and there
is less abuse directed toward him.
1t cost the Nationals $4,000 this sea-
son to retain Donovan, but it was a
good investment. 1t is said that the un-
popularity of the st. Louis Browns Is
due to the players ugly disposition to-
ward the fans. When they win at
home and the fans give them praise
they return insulting remarks, but
when the Browns lose the rooters hand
out sarcastic remarks in large chunks,
with not an iota Of sympathy for their
misfortuneS.

published upon what an insurance ac-
tuary would describe as the "expecta-
ton Of life" in animals. Among the
larger species of cattle there is some
approach to uniformity. Thus for the
horse and the ass the extreme limit is
about thirty-five years and for horned
cattle about thirty. For the dog il Is
given as twenty-five, while sheep.
goats, pigs and cats are grouped at tif-
teen. But there are stranger diSpari-
ties among birds. While goose may
live thirty years. a sparrow twenty
five and a crow as many as 100, ducks,
poultry and turkeys die of old age at
twelve years. The palm for longevity
is divided between elephant and par
rot. Both pass the century.

Potatoes and Apples Short.

With rot in the potato crop, scab on
the apples and Jack Frost on the heels
of the lazy corn crop, farmers have
their troubles this year. We fear that
the potato rot will be serious. The wet
soil and 'muggy" weather give just
the right conditions for the rot TO
spread. If in the face Of these trou-
bles buyers try to get the apples for
less than they are worth by spreading
reports Of big crop" there will be live
ly times. Our reports show that the
apple crop is short in sections where
large supplies are usually provided. Dc
not give away your apples or be
frightened into selling them at low
figure, The demand is greater than
ever before. while the total supply is
less than last year.-Rural New Yorker.

Bresnahan's Batting 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 to 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, l 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 it is called,
when ball looks as though 1t might
possibly hit the batter. How many
times have you seen man step back
from a curved ball which second aft
er "cut the plate" and was called
strike, much to his discontinue? The
remedy for this, l think. is 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 it 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 1t before 1t
breaks"
