Base BallINotes

Cleveland closes the series today with the
Senators.
Bernhard and Patten will probably do the
pitching. J. g
Comiskey's Chicagosa start series OF
three games with the Senators tomorrow,
and Jack Townsend should be about fit to
take them into camp.

of yesterday for his good work at the bat
and in the field. The ex-Georgetown boy

The ball that Delehanty hit over third
In the last inning was foul fully six inches.
Del should have stood up and pasted the

Third Baseman Bradley was quite busy
with his bat yesterday, although he had
only one fielding chance. Three singles. a
double and a home is doing quite days
work. es
One of the funniest things on the ball
field Is to watch Wilson running the bases
at ticklish point of the game. He stops
at the bags as If they were loaded with
dynamite, and then goes on with steps

Ex-REPREsENTATIVE DURAND.
To Be Buried in Michigan Tomor-
row.

Ex-Representative George H. Durand,
one OF the most prominent citizens of Mich
igan, will be buried at Flint, In that state.
tomorrow. Judge Durand was named as
the democratic candidate for governor last
year, but was compelled to withdraw from
the ticket by reason Of a sudden attack.
He has been in feeble health ever since
The nature Of his illness was paralytic or
apoplectic In character. and 1t seemed to
affect his speech most, his mind being
quite clear at times. He never recovered
from that shock, and though being able to
travel short distances. he never was able
to resume his business cares and for the
past few weeks has been failing quite per-
ceptibly. He spent as much Of his time
as he could at his farm. Of which he was
very fond. and died suddenly in his car
riage while driving home from it.
Although a democrat in a republican
state, Mr.. Durand attained many honors.
He was five terms a member of the Flint
common council and twice the mayor OF
that city, and was elected to the Forty
fourth Congress and served as chairman OF
the committee on commerce. He was after
ward chief justice Of the supreme court of
his state, and Cleveland presidential elector
at-large In 1SG2-the first democrat to rep
resent Michigan in the electoral college in
forty years.
In 1898 Judge Durand was elected presi-
dent of the Michigan Bar Association and
was the first president of the board of law
examiners.
In 1902 Judge Durand was nominated by
the democrats of Michigan as their candi-
date for governor; and so popular was the
selection that a widespread Independent
movement was inaugurated in Michigan
which bid fair to make his election prob
albe, when he was stricken down just upon
fha M q a
once gave expression to the wish that the
party place some other name at the head
of the ticket owing to his condition; but so
endeared was he to the people that con-
ference of party leaders decided to await
the development of his Illness before TAX
ing action. He did not improve as expect
ed and later his resignation was accepted
and the vacancy filled by the selection Of
his brother, L. T. Durand. as candidate in
his stead.
The deceased was prominent In Masonic
circles. having been grand master of Michi-
gan in 1876.

SMILE A LITTLE.
From the SWORD and HELMET

'.Smile a little smile a little
AS you go along,
Not alone when life is pleasant,
But when things go wrong,
Care delights to see you frowning,
Loves to hear you sigh;
Turn smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame will fly.
''Smile little, smile little
All along the road
Every life must have it's burden,
Every heart it's load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness,
With your grief to sup?
AS you drink Fate's bitter tonic,
Smile across the cup.
''Smile upon the troubled pilgrims
Whom you pass and meet;
Browns are thOrns, and smiles are blossoms
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the the way seem harder
By sullen face
Smile a little, smile a little,
Brighten up the place.
''Smie upon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
Ger his task, waits wealth or glory;
He who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow
In the passing years,
Smile little, smile little
Even through your tears"
