Literary Notes,

Those who entertain the fallacy that
the good old times" were the best will
perhaps lose that illusion, when they
read George Henry Hubbard's account
of Stephen Burroughs under the title OF
"A Notorious Rascal Of the Good Old
Times" In the March New England
magazine Burroughs possessed remark
able ability, of which his "Hay-Mow
Sermon" masterpiece of satire, ia an
indication, but his eseapades were fully
up 10 the standard of modern rascality.
Samuel E. Moffett contributes to the
March McClure's one of the timelest
articles of the month, "The War on the
Locomotive" The marvellous spread of
interurban trolley systems, espt cially 10
the Middle West, has been going on so
quietly that this admirably comprehen-
sve account will strike most readers
with amazement. Mr.. Moffet's maps
and photographs and figures, however,
leave no doubt "a to what the trolley
people OF today are up to, and sufficient
ly Justify his title.
There Is an array of good things in
the March st. Nicholas, aside from the
departments. "Mother's Wolf Story
tells of as exciting an adventure as ever
Ii little lass had. Albert Bigelow Paine's
"Maijorie's School of Fiction" is read
able and helpful; and Ruth Huntington
Sessionss "rhe Unlucky Parrot" fur
nishes the fairy tale without which no
M gazine for young people is ever quite
complete. E. n. Deming's "a Nina
ture Chieftain" will set boys to playing
Indian again, while "a Windmill Made
of Straw" will put their fingers to work.
The March chapters of Howard Pyle's
"'The Story OF King Arthur and His
knights" gives the girls and boys the

Arthur's finding of Excalibur and win.

the Effects.

Napoleon Lajoie. the big, good-natured
leader of the Cleveland Blues, asked how
1T feels to be a star in a major league,
said:
Being a headliner in this game is all
right, but it has its drawbacks. and the
principal one is the crowds opinion Of
you. Once you get to the front and
have your name printed In big type,
grandstand and bIeachers at once forget
that you are just a ball player, and that
only a machine could play perfect ball
They expect you to do everything
wonderful and IN a wonderful fashion.
II you make a really sensational play
you hear them say Isn't it easy for
him?' That's the way he always does
IT, and they simply accept the play as
the proper thing and just what is ex-
pected Of you. Then. maybe you make
an error. and the joyous boots. the
shrieks Of utter delight, and the muir
murs of Don't see anything remarkable
about that fellow, are enough to turn
you indigo-colored.
cat the bat you are expected to make
nothir g less than e two-bagger, and the
whole rrowd roots desperately for you
to striEe ont. Every time q strike is
called the mob screams with delight. and
then If you hit safe there's a general
feeling Of disappointment and cries Of

When asked If he thought that the
united hostile minds Of a big crowd
could exercise any influence over a
player. he said:
mo. I don't. If it could would have
hit a batting average Of .0O7 long ago"
Thus 1t can be seen that to be even a
star ball player has its drawbacks, and
while they may not be as great as the
famous second baseman has said they
are. still every man who has occupied
an exalted position in the baseball world
has felC their effects.
