Was Prophet OF Evil.

Prof. Rudolph Falb Of Vienna is
sead. He had remarkable career.
Me earned an enviable reputation
N the scientific world as a meteorol-
sgist. He wrote on the subject with
sare, learning and authority. In his
later years, however, he was largely
iiscredited among scientific men be-
tause he became possessed of the idea
mat he could foretell the occurrence
Of earthquakes. Some of his guesses
ait the mark, which only added to the
suffering he caused by erroneous pre-
aictions.
In 1893 he predicted that the island
oI Zante, off the west coast of Greece,
was about to be shaken by a severe
earthquake. The prediction came
true, and so did his prophecy of an
earthquake on the mainland of Greece
m 1894.
1t was natural, therefore, that when
he said Athens would be terribly
shaken on the approaching May the
people Of that city should be thrown

ing refuge on ships at the Piraeus.
Nobody slept in Athens the night
before the predicted earthquake, and
thousands spent the hours of darkness
in open places around the city. May
was beautiful day, and there was
nothing to mar it except the distress
and discomfort caused by the earth
quake prophet.
In the following year Falb predict
ed an earthquake for certain day in
Chile, and the people of Santiago were
thrown into great excitement. Every
railroad car that could be mustered
into service was busy for a day or two
carrying refugees away from the city.
There was no earthquake, but the
misery and loss inflicted by Falb's
prediction were considerable.
Very little has been heard of Falb
since that time. His seems to have
been case of scientific man gone
wrong. After the fever Of earthquake
prophecy seized him he never added
anything to the work that had given
him a respectable standing.

Judge Simkins played at second, while ]

He was our safest player for he never

Upon a fly and show himself; he'd take
it on the bounce
But when We got a new-style ball he
quit. 'Pll jest be darn
Said he, IF [ will catch a ball that amt
made out of yarn!''
Them days the umpire had to do the
bizness on the square,
Or else we'd throw him out and get an
other then and there.
And sometimes when the other side
would kick too hard and loud
Wed have to compromise the thing and
leave it to the crowd
Our wives and sWeetheartS used to come
and watch us play the game,
And though we'd win or lose they'd al

And play game with jest the same old

A baby serves manifold purpose
in the world. He makes men and
women more unselfish and furnishes
the amount of trouble necessary to
keep them comfortably busy. He sane
titles home and gives the doctor an
excuse to look wise. A Well-ordered
well-born baby with red face and
bald head is delight, particularly
when he belongs to friend, and
doesn't spend nights in your neigh
borhood.
Every baby is the prettiest baby in
the world, and it can be proven by
his mother. A baby that won't eat
carpet tacks, brass-headed nails and
young kittens is mistake. Babies
are bosses and boodlers. They con-

I like to see a game of ball; think it's
loads Of fun
To see the players at the bat and watch
em strike and run
And slide and yell and all of that, and
yet, it seems to me
The game amt half SO full Of hfe as
what it used to be.
I wish you could have seen the club in
which I used to- play;
Of course, it wasn't like the clubs you
run across to-day,
For that-noW let me think-WaS nearly
forty years ago.
And ball clubs then weren't like the ones
they have to-day, you know.
Our club comprised the leaders of our
little country town;
We knocked out ev'ry club there was for
twenty miles aroun',
We had no fancy uniforms, but, mind
you, we could play;
We made ten times as many runs as
what they make to-day!
CIV Jones, the blacksmith, pitched for us,
and in them days, you know,
You had to please the batter-he could
have it high or low.
And Deacon Perry used to catch, except
camp meetin time,
When he was off exhortin', and we used
his big son Lyme.
Old Squire Smith played at first, and
when his glasses stayed in place
So he could see the ball he always forth
fed that base.
