"Play Ball."

This is base ball year. The enthu-
siasm of the fans is unlimited and ev-
eryone is looking for the best reports
Of the national games.
Two full pages, covering all the
sporting news in New England, is what
The Boston Journal presents to its
readers every day. Bob Dunbar's
sporting chat, 1.-The best in every way
that is printed, and the cartoons by
"Bart" which appear nearly each
day, give one an idea of what takes
place in the sporting world in uni
que and attractive manner. Pictures
of men prominent in the sporting
world are printed daily. and every
thing is reported in detail from loo al
baseball games to an international
game of checkers.
Bob Dunbar has been recognized as
an authority on all sports. 1t is not
one branch that he covers, but all,
and he is equally familiar with horse
race, golf, tennis, rowing and sailing.
There is no news but good news on
the two pages of The Boston Journal
devoted abs olutely to sporting.
The Boston Journal has leaped into
great popularity by its bright style,
ard is an absolutely different paper
from the old Journal in it's energy
and enterprise.

No other female medicine in the
world has received such widespread

medicine has such a record of cures of
female troubles.
The needless suffering of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible
to see. The money which they paw to
doctors who do not help them is an
enormous waste. The pain is cured
and the money is saved by Lydia E.

"Oh. come now, don't be all night
about it! Hurry upi
81 wish you wouldn't hurry me"
said Robert-right out before he
thought.
"Ha, Hat screamed the bird. You
have got your wish!'
And it flew away, squeaking out a
horribly discordant laugh as it went.
As Robert walked rapidly homeward
he was so grieved at the thought of
what he had lost that the tears came
to his eyes in spite of all he could do.
The first thing he did when he reach
ed the house was to look up the
words tIndecision3 and "Procrastina-
tom in the dictionary and read over
again their definitions.
From that day his parents and his
teacher noticed a great improvement
in Robert who came to do things as
promptly as any other boy and, though
he has never been able to find the
wishing Bird in any work on orni-
thoIogy, he is convinced that he lost
a great opportunity by his Indecision
and Procrastination when the bluejay
met him coming home from school.

" and loafed, thinking Of nothing in
particular.
By and bye he saw a particularly
big bluejay hopping across the carpet
of fallen leaves and coming right to-
ward him. This rather surprised
Robert for, as rule, bluejays are shy
birds. When the bIuejay had hoped
close up to him, 1t put its head on one
side and looked up at him with fun
ny expression in its little bead-like
eyes.
Then. to the boys utter astonish-
ment, the creature spoke in thin,
reedy voice, saying Well BOD no"
goes it?''
At first Bob was too surprised to
reply, and, to tell the truth, he was
a little frightened too, for one must
admit that it is calculated to make
anybody a trifle nervous to nave
bluejay speak in mans language.

"Well, I declare exclaimed Robert.
"Oh, of course you do. But what
do YOU declare? That's what I want
to know. Come, time is flying!'
you are just like everybody else,
said Robert, wanting me to hurry
ssWeH. yes, but the point is, you see.

well said Robert slowly, Il think
I never heard a bluejay talk before

with a little toss of its little head, and

better make the most of this converse

the little creature assumed a threaten
ing air that made Robert laugh.
Don't laugh" said the bird, sit is
bad enough to be afflicted with Procras-
tination and Indecision without adding
Impoliteness to your faults
The boy assured the Wishing Bird
that he had not meant to be Impolite
and asked the blueiay how it got its
funny name.
"Oh,'' replied the bird. Il was born
that way. It is fs-y duty to go around
and give people a chance to wish. And
what's more to the purpose, what they
wish for they get. Now I will give you
Just one wish. And remember this is
your only chance. never speak to a
person but once during his lifetime. Now

bashful. No trouble to oblige."
There were many things Robert
wanted and the more he thought the
more undecided he became as to what
he should name as his wish. He
thought and he thought and took 50
long about it that the Wishing Bird
finally became impatient
It hoped on one leg and then on
the other. and finally said petulently:

, Every night this conversation took
place between Robert and his mother,
for Robert was one of those boys who
never did anything that he could pos
sibly put off.
The next day at school his teacher
said to him:
Robert, you have two great faults,
Indicision and Reconstruction
These were pretty big words and
the teacher saw by her pupils express
sion that he did not quite understand
them, so she said sharply: go and
look up Indecision and 'Procrastina-
ton in the dictionary at oncel At
oncei''
Slowly Robert did as he was told and
found that the teachers remarks were
far from complimentary.
IT'S the same old story" said he to
himself. Everybody tries to hurry me.
It's Robert, do this at once, and Rob
ert why don't you go Immediately, ,
from morning till night I wish peo-
pie would let me alone. I can do things
as well as any boy if they would only

He was late with his sums that day.
The teacher kept him after school and
he knew that he would be late getting
home. But, then, as he generally was

would rather be late any time than to
hurry. H
AS he passed on his way home along
a path leading through a piece of
woods, he came to a place where the
way divided, one path going up over
the hill and one down through the
meadow.
Both came out on the highway at
equal distances from his home and. as
usual, Robert hesitated which path to

the boy to himself, and sat down on q

TFrom the washington sta

From the washington start
The New York result is as mixed as
the conditions that produced it.
Hearst Democrats and Hearst Repub-
leans Mcclellan Democrats and Nc
Clellan Republicans, Jerome Demo-
Gratis and Jerome Republicans, and
WINS independents and WINS Repub-
ncans, all danced a dance which made
behoIders dizzy. The dancers must
have been pretty dizzy themselves. It
will take weeks to examine the returns
in such detail as to enable one to tell
just how the different influences were
exerted, and where the different re-
sponsibilities rest. Today we merely
see political chaos, without the IN
comfortable anger that often goes
with chaos and when nearly every
other man is cycling his neighbor with
either open reproach or secret dis
trust. we shall probably not look
upon such a state of affairs soon
again.
Mr.. Jerome, who should have won
by a round hundred thousand ma
jority, goes in by a beggarly vote to
the good. Why2 It was because Of
the war on Mr.. WINS in the Republi-
can candidates own camp, and the
more than absurd contention of many
Democrats that they could consistent
~ support Mr.. jerome ana A1r. Nc
never was a more ridiculous propo-
sition. Fighting Murphy in the inter-
ests Of Jerome and supporting Murphy
in the interests of Mcclellan was so
strikingly like bunco that many who
were not confused were disguised and
on that account alone many Demo-
Gratis went over to Hearst.
On the Republican side men Won
dered why It was that some of their
/ leaders, at the very top, were so warm
for Jerome and yet were silent as to
WINS, and they construed It as a hint
to vote for Mcclellan. This many of
them refused to do. If the party bars
were down, and the leaders were max
ing their choice, they would make
theirs. And so these men voted for
Hearst instead of for Tammany. They
refused either to be bought, bulIied or
wheedled after party obligations had
gone by the board.
Mr.. WINS. though defeated, comes
out of the turmoil the most interest
ing man of all. He made a capital
campaign, and his party, which
slaughtered him, deprived the city of
a capital mayor.
