Jimmy Watson Can't Play.

Jimmy watson, on whom the Age-Her- aid put much dependence was notified by President Kayanaugh yesterday that he would not be allowed to play as he has never received his release from Chicago. Jimmy has never played since he secured that foul tip off Snitz in 'sS and he thought Kayanaugh was barred from acting by the statute of limitations. His absence from the game will be seriously felt by the Night Owls. Captain McCrae wanted to get out an injunction and grew very bois- terous over the matter but H. scudder counseled calmness and no action will probably be taken.
 One of the features of the game today will be pitching exhibition by Old Phil- ippi which is given for the especial pleas ure of Barney Dreyfus. Charlie Comin- skey and several league magnates of the north. In the early part of the fifth in ming he will introduce his famous boom erang curve.

PLACED DUTY BEFORE WORK.
Man in Need of Emp1oyme mt Refused
Job to March with the I'm.

A London preacher had an interest
ing experience not long ago with a hun
CRY man. The mendicant explained
that he had found it abs olutely impos-
sih.e to get work. He had applied ev
erywh ere. always to be turned away,
and at last nothing remained for him
but to beg from door to door for the
food that was necessary to keep life in
his body.
The clergyman's heart was filled
with pity. The poor ma seemed to be
honest, and after being furnished with
a good meal he was asked where mes
sage would reach him. He gave an ad-
dress and went away.
Then the preacher sat down to think
the matter over. He knew of no work
that he could find for the man, but he
decided to invent a job.
Accordingly the next day the preach
er sent a message to the luckless man,
saying:
Come at once. I have position
for you. We need man to clean our
school house and keep it in. order"
He received an immediate reply as
follows:
Sorry can't come. Ihave to march

PUBLIC OFFICE FOR PRIVATE
GAIN.

Certain conditions al d tendencies
of American life have been painfully
illustrated in the current news of the
past few weeks. In almost every in
stance, however, there have been en-
couraging signs to show that the
forces making for good are stronger
than those making for evil in the
body polite. In the governmental
sphere, there have been various dis
closures pointing to the use of public
Office for private gam. There has
been such remarkable increase in
private wealth throughout the coun-
try that standards of living, especially
in the cities and larger towns, have
been changed very greatly. Official
salaries, meanwhile, have not been
increased to any corresponding ex-
tent. In a European country like
Germany, while official salaries are
very small, 1t is high honor to hold
. place in public service, the tenure
is for life, on conditions of faithful
ness, honesty and efficiency. Under
these circumstances, public posts are
regarded as SO desirable that Office
holders are content with q very

There Is one little girl in Washington

bltlon OF her nature for which they
were totally unprepared. The child
was cross-eyed, and her affliction was
source OF extreme annoyance to her
self and family. An oculist was con-

remedy the defect. and so it was de.

Miss Annie had once made a great fuss

would enter serious objections to an
