The Man Nurse Who
Did Fancy Work

There was sick man in q bachelor apart
ment the other day and nurse was needed.
1t was not deemed desirable to have woman
nurse, as three men occupied the apart
ment together. So man nurse was en-
ployed, although there was some fear ex-
pressed that the tenderness and gentleness
OF woman nurse might be missed.
But the masculine substitute, who was q
middle aged person in glasses. soon proved
that he was not going to be brutal.
May have one Of those big boxes that
the roses came INF" he asked soon after
settling down.. They'd be 30 splendid
for my embroidery
Embroidery" repeated the person adj
dressed. What do you mean by that?'
why, my centerpieces," he repeated,
pulling at a heavy brown mustache. 1t
would be just the thing for them. l really
can do wonderful embroidery. l can make
the flowers stand out as II they we're the real
thing Some time III bring some around"
He kept his word and one night sat under
the lamp embroidering q large oenterpieoe
while his patient slept. The next day he
asked what was going to be done with
basket in which some fruit had been sent.
BE just the thing for my knitting. he
murmured In explanation.
He got the basket and the next night
knit a pair OF gray wool socks.
50 nobody need ever try to prove that the
women nurses have all the gentleness on
their side.

Little Fishermen
of the Park Lake

The only fishermen licensed to fish in
the waters OF the city parks are men from
the Aquarium, who occasionally draw a
seine in them for fishes Of the species in
which they abound, where with to replenlsh
the stock Of those varieties in the Aqua
RUINS tanks. But the small boy. with the
angling instinct strong within him, takes,
nevertheless, a shy at them.
There is long stretch between fishing
for hllies in little brook or drain, with a
for whales with harpoon and bomb lance.
The small boy fishing in the parks takes
the next step up in the sport from hlies
by fishing for little catfish and sunfsh;
and in Central Park the most convenient
place for this is the conservatory lake, the
little body Of water in which model boats
This little lake has some depth OF water
in it clean up TO its edges all around, 80 that
the model boats shall not beach on its shores,
but can come up close to and be reached
by their owners, and there is coping all
The water that makes 1t possible for the
boats to coma close in shore makes 1t pos
sible for the fishes in the lake to come close
in, too temptingly handy for the small
boy standing on the coping to drop line
to them.
They are little fishes that are found in
this little lake, little catfish running up to
inches in length, and little sunfsh Of 2
or inches, but they may be whales to the
youthful imaginahon; and standing on the
coping the youthful angler lets down to
them a worm baited hook on the end Of a
four-foot drop line and angles for them.
He feels along the line the thrill OF little
catfish's nibble, or the bite of q tiny sun
fish, with perhaps as much Joy as he will
experience in later life at the tug OF a tar
pom; and occasionally he lands fish, though
1t is fshermans luck and not fishes, that
he gets here mostly. abundant a. the fishes
are.
Perhaps the small angler learns here
the life lesson Of the necessity OF patience
as an aid to endeavor; certainly he has
learned somewhere already the need OF
taking precaution; for, inDocent as he may
seem as he bends intently over the water, he
always has an eye out on the land. He knows
that It is against the law to fish here, and SO
he is always on the lookout for the police
man; and the first boy Of two or three fish.
ing to see one coming shouts In the small
boys lingo:
Cheese it! Tho copl' Whereat, as the cop
dashes up, the small boys drop their lines
and fee.
But still, on the shore Of this little lake,
from whose edge all around grassy banks
slope up, while its water expanse Is made
picturesque by the sails Of the model yachts,
there may occasionally be seen, adding
at least variety to the picture, small boy
or two angling. fishing with small drop
line for little catfish and su nnies.

Williams Holley, Nadeau. Breitenstein. Gaston, Manuel and Sullivan worked well as fielders. but the work of Beck and Phillips showed conclusively that they did not care how the game terminated. Sullivan gave a poor exhibition of base running, but in justice to the big Pelican catcher 1t must be said that he has never been known as a base runner

RAGAN UNCONSCIOUS
 FROM POISON TAKEN

Arthur Ragan, known in baseball cir cles as Rip" Is confined to his room In a local hotel in a serious condition. Phy- sicians who attended him state that he had been poisoned. He was unconscious until late last night.
 Ragan pitched the first inning of the game against New Orleans yesterday af- ternoon and soon as the inning was over he retired to the club house and an- and dropped on a bench in the room. The pitcher became nauseated and fell to the floor in an unconscious condition from which he was not revived.
 The seriousness of the condition of the twirler became apparent to his comrades and physicians were hastily summoned. After hurried examination 1t was an- nounced that Ragan had been poisoned by eating something. Immediate orders were given that the ball tosser be con- veyed to his hotel which was done. Car los Smith and Ginger" Clarke ordered a carriage and Ragan was taken to the hotel.
 Shortly before the game Ragan stated that he was not feeling well but desired to get in the game in order to get up a good sweat" as he thought 1t would make him feel better. He asked to be put in to pitch against New Orleans and Manager Vaughan granted his request. He appeared to have his usual speed dur ing the short time he was in the box. but the vim and dash which usually char acterizes his work was lacking. When Dessau took his position in the pitchers box in the second inning murmurs were heard throughout the stand and What's the matter with Rip?" was the interroga-

tory that was passed down the line. The information was soon conveyed that the twirler was seriously i'll.
 Ragan imagined for while that he was on a ball field and was playing the game in his delirious condition. He also had an idea that someone was deeply indebted to him and continually raves about the matter. He tore the pillow slips off the pillows on his bed and wants no bed clothes about Wagner, Tarlton, Smith, Clark, Sallee and other members of the team are doing all in their power for their comrade If the condition of Ra- gan is not greatly improved he will not pitch another game for the locals this season. His illness will prove a gieat handicap to the Barons. especially in the battle for the first division honors.
