BASEBALL ENTHUSIASM.

Now just a word about the ball game. Those fellows from Kent did me up, and we will leave it to them, if the boys did not use them well. The score only stood 3l to ', in favor have done better, but as there had been so much said to them, to get them to come up, we really did not want to beat them too hard, so the boys let them down easy. One thing our boys regret, is that they had not provided box of lollypops, for the girls that accompanied the Kent team. so they might have had something to busy themselves with during the game.

The garden is a great medicine chest.
BE your own doctor and look TO your

If you are wakeful eat lettuce.
For affections Of the skin and for yell
low skin eat onions. Onions are also
good for colds, coughs, scrofula.
For q torpid liver, eat freely Of as
paragus.
For malaria and general breakdown,
eat cranberries.
If nervous and irritable eat plenty of
celery.
For constipation, cat fruits, ripe and
healthy fruits. Fresh fruits are good;
so are figs and dates. Raisins are ben
ehclal.

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
Against Park Trollsys.

To Tho Editor OF The Evening Journal.
Sir: Can Il be possible that the Park
Commissioners viii even consider the
proposition TO allow trolley lines TO enter
into and cross that beautiful piece Of
land. known as Rockford Park? A great
many people were amazed when they
read In The Evening Journal Of yesterday
that the city trolley lines had made
such a proposition. OF course the trolley
lines are out for business and where one
goes the other desires to be within call
ing distance: but both roads at this time
carry people within easy walking dis
tance of all parts of our Brandywine
Park. and wo can conceive of no excuse
for this move. II the trolley lines desire
to reach out for the traffic Of DUPONT
Banks or IL they desire TO extend their
lines on beyond, how would II do to offer
them the privilege of tunnellng under
Rockford Park, and in that way avoid
marring it's beauty.
our parks are supposed TO be a place
where the women and children may go
and enjoy themselves, freed from the
dangers of the streets; where children
can play without being constantly under
the watchful eye OF a parent, where the
little tots can gather daisies and butter
cups without being called upon to be
careful and not go near the trolley cars.
The ideal spots In our parks must not be
invaded by the olang OF the trolley bell,
and we cannot believe for one moment
that our Park Commissioners can SER
iously consider such a proposition as we
read of.
speak for a number who hope that you
will aid in opposing this unnecessary
invasion OF the Peoples Land"

RLESSED is the man who OCCASION

thrice blessed is he who has in his
heart a perpetual hymn OF praise.
For we are blessed, not that we have
something 10 give thanks for, but that
we are able to give thanks. For when
one feels that he is blest, why he is
blessed-and to be blessed is to enjoy
a certain mental state.
