Have Best End.

A fan who watches the game closely
said yesterday:
ut is just Birminghams luck to catch
Nashville with a strong team. When we
had Montgomery to the bad we could not
play but three of the games schedul ID.
and the only thing kept us from winning
four straights from the Pretzels was the
bad weather.
atlanta caught Nashville in badly
crippled condition and took three straight.
We catch Nashville very much streng h
ened and they have a chance to beat us.
But at that we have the best of the
argument Nashville is away from homo.
and the team Is not well organized. The
new players cannot jump in and play
team work for they are not used to
the play or some of the other members
of the team. The Barons are at home
and Nashville is on foreign ground. Bir-
mingham is in winning streak and
Nashville is down in the mouth after
three straight losses
Newt Fisher says he would rather beat
Birmingham than win the pennant, and
that is about the truth but I know of
no team Birmingham would rather beat
than these same Fishermen
"Atlanta's victories over Nashville were
like picking blackberries when there are
no thorns on the bushes. Birmingham's
victories, If she gets any, will be like
picking the berries with a thorn every
eighth of an inch"

There was q man in towE yesterday
who formely worked in AtchisOn for
500 month. He now receives sal
ary 1of $4,000 a year, and he, doesn't
work as hard as he did when he lived
in Atchson.
This man is no great genius; he is
simply a good man." and there are
thousands Of such Being good
man means that 4 man is industrious,
loyal, INTEL. gent and well-behayed. 1t
is easier TO be a good man" than it
is to be bad one. There is 4 scarcity
of good men, and those who are pa
tient and work away the best they can
are always recognized and substantial
ly rewarded. The man who never does
his share, who is willing 10 impose on
his Office or shop associates, never
comes to the front.
The point we desire TO emphasize is
that it is easier to be q good man"
than it is to be a bad one You must
live, so why not live in the easlesr
way? The easiest way is to be good
man." That is, 10 do your work fartn-
fully, intelligently and honestly and

OF nattened out Ike, and sorter foolish.
His leg healed up stiff, and he'd go
boobling around with a hitch in his
get along that reminded me SO much OF
old Cap'n Emory Tush that we used to
know that got to calling him SO. Old
Cap'n Emory Tush the First was
venerable mariner who had been
hacked on the knee by Malay pirate,
causing the jolnt-water to run out, and
rendering him unable to bend his leg
or tell the truth forever after.
"Cap'n Emory the Second was all
ways peculiar, too. He'd go hitching
pessimistlcally around in the daytime,
and b'cuz he couldn't, on account Of his
bum leg, go to roost with the rest of
the fowls, he'd come lingering along to
the kitchen door for Pheeny to put him
to bed in a box she'd had me rig up
for him. For a spell. he made good
enough coverlid for the little feller; he
couldn't sit down very close, and there
seemed plenty Of room for the little
feller underneath, and so he was both
company and cover.
1T looked like pretty good scheme,
but one morning we found the little
feller dead. Pheeny held that Cap'n
Emory wasn't to blame; but anyhow,
so twas. The Cap'n had the decency
10 act like he missed the little feller,
and 50 did old Ponto. Pheeny went
upstairs. and | carried the fuzzy little
body out in the hollow of my hand,

The DOCS MEMORY.
An Interview with the American Natural
ist, John Burroughs.

John Burroughs, poet and nature
student, and friend of both Theodore
Roosevelt and Alton b. Parker, is the
guest of Thomas b. Harmed, of Ger
mantown, Pa. In an interview IN the
Philadelphia Ledger Mr.. Burroughs
said:
"Thompson-Seton writes absurdities
which, as he ayows himself, he wishes
to make people believe implicitly. They
are very charming, but he ought not
to try to disguise them in the light Of
truth. For instance, the imaginary in
cident of a fox that is pursued by
the hounds jumping upon sleeps
back and riding there to escape them!
You don't catch Kipling doing things
like that. His animal episodes are al
ways true to natural history, however
remarkable.
Now as to dogs A dog has no
psychic life. He has no intellect He
has only what the psychologists term
sense-memory is, memory by as
sociation. The dog has become half
human from ages of association with
man, so you can affirm almost every
thing of him, except the faculty Of
thought and of abstract memory.
My neighbor up IN the country had
a dog that was always 'scrapping' with
my dog. One day my dog died. After
that, whenever / walked abroad and
met my neighbor's dog he never failed
to look all around me for his late en-
emy, as much as TO say L don't see
your dog. Where is your dog? What
has become of your dog? That was
memory by association - New York

A Missionary Mayor.

Missionary methods are sometimes
employed in secular walks Of life. A
musician in this city tells how society
people were holding musicale in Il
town rot far from New York. The
evening was rather stormy, and only
about half as many attended as should
have been there. Toward the close Of
the performance several of the society
leaders put their heads together and
devised plan which was put into ef-
feet by the Mayor of the town, who
was present. He asked the audience to
remain for a few moments after the
musicians had retired. Nearly all
stayed
Now" said the Mayor, there are
125 persons here, about half as many
as there ought to be. | want to ask
every person here to pledge himself
and herself TO bring friend to the
musicale to be held a month from to-
night, CT 70 pay an extra admission fec
in place CT bringing q friend. That
would insure The attendance Of 80
persons, or the financial success Of this
musicale"
In response every hand went up iii
acsent. And the next musicale was
c grand success.-New York Press.

A bank President called one day on
Governor John g. Mccullough of Yer

With a laugh the Governor interrupt

This fervid praise" he said, RE-
minds me of case wherein l appeared

He laughed again. Then he went on:
1T was a will case. We were trying
to break the will of an elderly gentle
man, who, ignoring his relations, had
left the bulk of his property to total
stranger. 1t was part of our case to
prove that the dead man had been &C.
centric, irregular, cruel, dissipated
and, after we had proved this point,
the defense summoned a witness in re
buttaI.
THE first question put TO the de-
fense's witness was: What do you
know about the character of the de

in words like these:
"'He was a man without blame, be.

Ii must often strike those who con
Germ themselves in phllanthropic effort
that, in spite OF money lavishly ex-
pended, little or no permanent benefit
ensues. Year by year we are confront
ed By the array Of unemployed: the

drunkenness, pauperIsm and crime, and
families in receipt Of poor law and
charitable relief one year are found by
investigators annually on these lists
in a state of chronic poverty and ap-
parently incapable Of becoming self

Within recent years the medical fac
ulty has given a clue to one Of the
causes OF this apparently irreducible
minimum of misery ana pauperism by
pointing out that there exists a class Of
persons mentally and physically defec-
tive, weak in brain and will, inefficient
and incapable, and often lacking in
proper moral responsibility; they are
neither imbecile nor lunatic: they are
simply what we now call detectives
or "feebleminded." 1t is these who
now help to Till our prisons and work
houses, who swell the professions of
the unemployed, and who are. in fact,

the trouble, and he found that with

and scholars in China as the first step
toward the Chinese invasion. And
they failed. And China will naturally
hesitate now to accept any good medi-
cine Of civilization from the Powers
hands. But Japan has used no such
method We must meet China kindly
and sympathetically. We must prove
to her that she can trust in us. II
there is anything that must be an OBJ
stacle to our treatment, we must root
it out 1t is Japan's duty-nay, we
must regard it as our right. There is
an obstacle, and that obstacle to-day
is Russia, and we are destroying that
obstacle.
But we must be most careful in
speech and action. People who have
but little knowledge and no clear un-
derstanding are always suspicious.
China and Korea, for whom we have
spent a tremendous amount Of money
and have split our blood, could easily
by stirred up by the other Powers to
oppose us.

The lore she guards and the treasure
She only yields by stealth.

WHAT RUINS CHILDREN.
Parental Neglect Is Blamed For CritAne

OF tie young.
Parental neglect as a result Of intem-

children by the annual report Of the
Juvenile Court Of Chicago. The report
was prepared by J. j. McManahan,
chief probation officer, and tells OF the
work done by the court in 1904.

Judges Mack and Iuthill, Of that city,
