field to the home plate. 1t simply siz-
zles. 1t burns the air. The throw is
not only long one, but deal of ac-
curacy is required to get it in the right
place.
"When you come to think of it. the
man who throws a ball over the home
plate from far out field is performing
a rather difficult task. There are three
necessary things-sufficient arm power
to make the long throw, accuracy in
throwing in order to get it over the
plate and quickness in fielding the ball.
The player must not tumble and fool
around. He must get the ball and
start it back with speed and precision
before it has had chance to stop. Of
course it is easy for some over-wrought
fan to sit up in the grand stand and
criticise a man who makes wild
throw, or mistake of some sort in

Still More Evidence.

Bay City, ILL.,, Aug. S.-(SpeciaL)-.
Mr.. K. E. Henley of this city adds his
evidence to that published almost daily,
that sure cure for Rheumatism is
now before the American people and
that that cure Is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
MI. Henley had Acute Rheumatism,
He has used Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
says Of the result:
After suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numerous
medicines for Rheumatism and more
medicines prescribed by doctors, at
last tried Dodds Kidney Pills with the
result that I got more benefit from
tharl than all the others put together.
"Dodds Kidney Pills were the only
thing to give me relief, and recon-
mend them to all suffering from Acute
rheumatism"
Rheumatism Is caused by Uric Acid
in the blood. Healthy kidneys take all
tho Uric Acid out Of the blood. Dodds
Kidney Pills make healthy Kidneys.

SANITARY HOUSING.
What Is Being Done in Germany in
That Line Of Service.

What Is Being Done in Germany in
That Line Of Service.
According to United States CONNER
cial Agent Harris at Eibenstock, a
great deal is being done in Germany
for the benefit Of the working people,
especially in the matter of providing
them with suitable dwellings. Large
manufacturing establishments, munich
pal bodies, charitable organizations
and private spectators, Mr.. Harris
says, have each and all done much TO-
ward lettering the hygienic conditions
and general welfare Of the skilled
workman and his family in every part
Of the empire. Since 1912 the PrussfAn
government has expended about
100000 in dwelling houses for the
coal miners in the district Of Saar-
brucken and the miners repay the loan
by monthly installments without inter-
est. Similar methods were adopted
with success by the royal munition
factory at Spandau. The building so
cieties of Gladbach, Barmen, Dresden
and other cities Of the empire have
also proved successful in that respect.
The Krupp establishment at Essen
takes the lead in providing comfortable
houses and cottages for the laboring
classes. In 1901 the value Of the dwell
ings used exclusively by it's workmen
was $3,875,00O. There were 1000
houses of two rooms each, 1869 houses
of three rooms each, 448 houses of four
rooms each, $50 houses Of five rooms
each, sixty-three houses Of six rooms
each and eighty-four houses of seven
rooms each, making a total Of 4,274
houses. During the last ten years
great improvement has taken place in
the conditions surrounding the dwell
ings of laborers and the increased at
tention on the part of municipal au-
thorities to sanitary arrangements and
the police laws against too many per-
sons occupying one room, Commercial
Agent Harris says, have had a salu-
tary influence.

The wonderful Helen Keller has
graduated from Radcliffe College, Cam
bridge, with the degree Of bachelor of
arts. It was recently stated that she
was on the verge Of nervous prostra-
ton, due according to one account to
excessive mental application and &C.
cording to another to failure to pass
the final examinations. From the fact
that she not only received the degree,
but also the distinction "cum laude"
and that she was present during the
graduation exercises apparently in ex-
cellent health and spirits it may fairly
be inferred that she not only passed
the examinations, but stood higher
than most Of her classmates. Prob
ably she labored under nervous excite
ment while undergoing her examina-
tons, due to extraordinary mental ef-
fort and anxiety, and nervous collapse
may have been feared by her friends.
There will be general and sincere re-
joicing now that the fears are known
to have been groundless. The case Of
this young woman is without a paral-
lei in the history Of mental achieve
ment. The story Of her triumph over
difficulties seemingly insurmountable
is almost incredible. Without sight
and without hearing from the age Of
year and half she yet gained such a
knowledge Of the external world as to
suggest the existence Of a latent and
unknown sense or senses almost
equivalent to both sight and hearing.
How without the aid Of these senses
she could come to understand and ap
preciate literature dependent for most
of it's beauty upon their exercise is al
most beyond comprehension. Yet her
own writings afford abundant proof
of her understanding and apprecia-
ton, and her success In acquiring Ian
guages and in mastering the studies Of
a college course afford still further
proof to those who realize how far
the comprehension Of such things
seems to depend upon the possession
of the senses which she does not pos
sess. Only those who have had to do
with the blind and the deaf can real
ize the enormous difficulties which this
young woman, who is both, has had
to overcome in gaining the knowledge
which entities her to her bachelors
degree. Very admirable are the in
sight, the skill and the unwearying pa
tience of Miss Sullivan, Miss Keller's
devoted and inseparable companion,
friend and teacher, but more wonder
full is the triumph Of the young wom-
an who can neither see nor hear, even
though achieved with the help Of one
SO remarkably capable and devoted as
Miss Sullivan.

Traits of Turkish Nomads.

The Yuruks assert that human souls
return into the bodies of animals and
that the spirits Of the latter take also
human form and appear at deter
mined epochs. This is certainly the
reason why they are SO kind to ami
mails A Yuruk loves his horse as
much as his family. The horses have
their place under the tent, and it is
not uncommon to see them warmly
wrapped in a magnificent robe when
the Yuruk and his children are covered
with rags.
Some other customs attest also a pa
gan origin. In the Orient everybody
knows that the Yuruks worship certain
trees and rocks. These facts yield suf-
ficient evidence that monotheism is by
no means the essential dogma of their
religion.

H1GHBALL AND HIS JOCKEY.

''The fact is it would take the same
rooter a whole day, nearly, to do the
thing he expects the player to do in a
period Of time to be measured in split
seconds, and the chances are that he
would then miss the mark. Men who
are inclined to roast ball players ought
to remember these things. Ball play
ing will never become a perfect game,
though the progress made would seem
to indicate that the players can get
awfully close to perfection. I saw five
double plays without a fobble at one
game, just to illustrate what I mean,
and though | have attended a number
Of games this season l have not seen

when the fifth race was being run and
the horses swept by, Highball, as he
stood in the green infeld, broke away
from the stabelemen who held him and
made pitiful attempt to gallop after
them.
Many had lost heavily on Highball,
one or two as much at $4,000, but
none thought Of money. A kind Of
moan went through the crowd. Mary
women cried like children. with no
thought Of red eyes Or impaired COM
plexions. W. M. Scheftel, who owned
Highball, walked by the clubhouse
with tears running down his cheeks.
The last act in the tragedy of a thor
oughbred came when people had gone
home. The doctor shook his head over
the splintered bone. Scheftel nodded to
his trainer. Highball watched them all
the while with his big, intelligent eyes.
Then a revolver spoke. There was no

Not to Be Envied.

An honorable point Of difference be-
tween the maker of "local color" and
the vender of it comes from the Ken
lucky mountains by the way Of the
pages Of the Reader. On trip which
a well-known. writer made in pursuit
of material for one of his stories he
stayed overnight at cabin, where he
slept next to the shingles and went
down ladder to breakfast.
He washed his face in creek below
the house, and dried it on the side of
a piece of coffee sack hung against the
logs for family use. Then he combed
his hair with his own comb before a
piece Of broken glass stuck between
cabin.
AS he was making his toilet he was
closely watch by the small boy of the
family, who was clothed in a pair of
cottonade trousers hitched to a chick
ory' shirt, with one suspender fasten-
ed by a nail Shoes and hat were lack
ing, and his hair had not been combed
for six weeks.
He watched the visitor so closely
that the writer thought he was making
an excellent impression on the young
barbarian. AS he put on the last touch
the boy, unable to contain himself
longer, broke in:

"and it would be interesting to know
just how rapidly they do handle a

for man who is at all Irregular in
his attendance at the ball game to get

thing more than quick eye to follow
the ball. The eye must be trained

who do not go out to the game often

ANEcDoTE OF LEOPOLD.
First and Only Money He Ever Earned
Was American.


Eugene Rowland, a young Memphi-
an recently returned from Europe,
among other "reminiscences, tells an
anecdote Of Leopold, Emperor of Bel
GUM.
Leopold" says Mr.. Rowland, "has
been numerically hayed by the press,
both as an immoral man and as a
merciless political intriguer, but when
the Emperor's interests do not call for
harsh measures he is one of the most
delightful of men, full of humor and
fond Of joke.
Zone day, while l was sitting in
the American consufs office, three
American ladies came in and asked
If it was possible to see the Emperor S
palace
1.-THE consul told them that the
American dollar would open gates in
Belgium just as effectually as it open
ed doors elsewhere. This was enough
for these ladies. They had the dol
lars and they We're willing to use
them as keys; SO within the hour they
presented themselves at Leopold's
palace. The gate was already open.
The ladies entered, and, seeing a gar
dener at work, approached him.
We want to see the palace said
one Of the ladies, at the same time
presenting several of the all-powerful
dollars.
1.-THE gardener looked them over
closely, took the money, laid down
his implements and proceeded to show
first, the gardens and the grounds
and then the palace itself.
1.-THE ladies were charmed with
their guide, and on leaving insisted
upon paying him several more of the
good American dollars.
"On their return to the hotel the
clerk presented each with an enve-
lope, bearing the imperial arms. With
In each lady found an invitation from
the Emperor to visit the palace that
evening. They went, as a matter of
course, and they went in style, as
American ladies will do. They were
received in style, too, but the eclat of
the reception was overwhelmed by
the surprise that awaited them; for,
as they stood in the presence Of their
imperial host, behold he was the hum.

TRAGEDY OF A RACE TRACK
The Pathetic End of the Great Horse,
Highba1l.

Perhaps the most pathetic sight ever
seen around a race course was the
great horse Highball after lie had
broken his leg within furlong Of vic
tory in the Seagate stakes at Brighton.
The big, beautiful colt the only East
ern horse that ever captured an Amer
lean Derby, winner of dozen rich
stakes, could not have been bought for
$4,000 before the race. After the race
he was not worth two cents.
Hobbling painfully on three legs,
Highball held up his broken foreles
just as little dog puts up hurt foot
to be treated. His thin ears were erect
and twitching from the agony, but his
flashing eyes looked eagerly toward the
wire, under which Knight Errant and
st. Valentine galloped without him.

stronger than the pain. A little later,
