THE VALUE OF PoRCHEs
Loafing on Piazza Will Do Wonders
for the Overworked.

FROM Men ana women.
Ihere's an old doctor in New York who ia
famous for repairing people with a rather
odd prescription. Overworked men and
nerve-wrecked women, all out of sorts with
lie, come to him in an ever-lengthening line
and beg to be set Alright. He looks them
very closely in the eye for perhaps a min
ute, and then says, leisureIy, with great.
genial heartiness that In itself is almost a
cure on the spot:
Well-well-I wouldn't lie awake nights
worrying very much about it, If 1 were YOU.
You're all right, every bit. only you've gone
a trifie STALE as the boys say in college
athletics. What you need more than any,
thing else Is to do a little judicious loafing.
Something in the way of a sun bath daily.
In fact, the very best thing l can recon-
mend for you is piazza in the Berkshires.
Just SIT there for month or two and watch
the world go by. Read little, dream a lit
tie and listen to the birds, but don't you
dare do single useful thing And the
longer you sit there the surer the cure"
A piazza in the Berkshires The old doc
tor knew what he was talking about Only,
of course, 1t doesn't literally have to be in
the Berkshires A piazza anywhere will do.
even yours or mine, and the bigger and sun
nier and more enticing 1t is the better And II
by any objectionable oversight of fate or
the architects. you haven't a piazza, build
One at ONCE, Deg OF you. Build new
one. enlarge the old one. make a fine one
finer. But a piazza of some sort you must
have. for that way JOY lies.
It's rather pity we don't make more OF
our piazzas. They beat us badly at this
sort OF thing over in southern Europe, along
the shores of the blue Mediterranean Even
the poorest Italian and Spanish peasant
there knows enough to have his little vine
arbor. and to bask In it when the sun is
high in the summer skies. AS for the villas
of the better endowed thew would aS anop
sbe without such a thing as they would be
lacking fruit to eat or wine to drink All
the way from Barcelona to Capri, and es-
pecially along the Riviera, every one has
pergolas or balconies overlooking the sea-
on which they sit at all possible hours and
watch the waves roll in. and the flowers
bloom, and listen to the music of the stroll
ing players. They are wise enough to know
how necessary, both to mind and body
daily repose is; wise enough to know that
life should not be turned into merely a busi-
ness affair.
If we could only, here in strenuous Amer
lea. do little of the same sort. We're such
awful grubs, with our noses forever in the
dirt after the dollars. And the longer we
bury ourselves in the commercial tombs of
the shaving cities the worse we get. Nerves
come and digestion goes until presently We
find ourselves disgruntled old parties. with
our skies always overcast and our bones al
ways aching. And then. when 1t Is too late
we sigh for sight of the green things out
in Gods country. Which would never have
ha. pened, you know. If we'd only done q
little judicious loafing on some piazza, as
the years were slipping away.

Young Peter jackson a Winner.

Young Peter Jackson Of Baltimore has
evidently made big hit abroad, judging
from the way he is beating his opponents
In England. Since Jackson went to the
other side he has engaged In a half dozen
nights. He has been successful in all or
them and has managed to knock out his
rivals before the expiration. of the final
round. The other night Jackson met Harry
Barrett of London before the National
Sporting Club. London, in what was to
nave been a siX-round bout. Jackson had
things his own way with his rival and had
no trouble in disposing of his man. The
finish came in the second round. Upon
breaking Jackson, with a half-arm hook
with the left, dropped his man. Barrett
quickly arose and rushed into clinches.
The American again slipped his man. and
down went Barrett once more Barrett

Catcher King to Become Magnate.

Johnny Killing, catcher for the Chicago
National League team made the statement
that he would probably not play with Chi
ago again. Killing said he had made ar
rangements with President Hart so that
he could buy the franchise of the Kansas
City American Association team. with
Charley Nichols. who managed the St
Louis Cardinals last season.
King said that if the deal went through
he was confident he could land a number
of the Chicago players, as he had the as
surance of Mr.. Hart that he could have
Slagle, Mccarthy, Hoffman and two
pitchers.
Some time ago. George Tebeau, who owns
the franchise in Kansas City, said he was
willing to sell his stock, and ever since
King has had the deal in mind. He stopped
over at st. Louis his way home from
Chicago and talked the matter over with
Nichols, who told him to go ahead and he
would agree to any arrangements made.
King will leave for Louisville on Sunday
to meet Tebeau and complete the deal.
Killing has plenty of backing in Kansas
