Without doubt Fred Penney Is the busiest athlete who ever came down the pike. No one but a college-bred man could carry his load of multitudi- nous mental and physical stunts and survive the strain. Fred is a wonder the greatest ever-and yet he bears his greatness in a modest, not to say a diffident manner. To look at Penney in his somewhat slouched and baggy bloomers and cap jammed on his ears, that is where this sterling athlete is very deceiving. This is what the gift ed Penney does for Boston and does 1t without extra charge. Most teams on the road rate one or more business peo- ple to direct affairs; but Fred is the whole cheese To, begin with. he is second batter, field captain, resident and travelling team manager, financial and recording secretary, bookeeper. business manager, treasurer ,hotel bus and transportation agent. baggage hustler, paymaster, kick adjuster, first baseman, war correspondent for three Boston papers, cartoonist and medical adviser. If this be not enough. Fred finds time amid the dizzy whir1 of business and social life to write se- rial story for a Boston magazine, en- titled "Frenzed Baseball. or. How to Be It, Though Handicapped" The Triumvirs at home regard Fred as good man and so he is-at least four of them rolled into one compact bunch of brain and nerve and placed at the head of the Bean n-saters.-Philadelphi Amer can.

any pants, because what pants the Arabs
didn't tear were worn of on the stones,
SO when he showed up in front of tie
spinks he was a sight, and he bought a
turban of q guide and unwound it and
wound it around him in place of pants.
| was ashamed of dad myself, and it is
pretty hard to make me ashamed.
We went back to Cairo on the cars, and
what do you think, that dead camel that
the Arabs made dad pay for was with
the caravan going back to town, cause
we saw him out of the car window with
the hair wore off where dad kicked him
in the side. The tourists say the Arabs
have that camel trained to die every day
when they get to the pyramids, and they
make some tenderfoot pay for him at the
end of each journey. Dad is going to try
to get his money back from the Egyp-
tian government, but | guess he will
never realize on his claim.
Well, sir, after dad had doctored all
night to get the camel rheumatism and
spinal meningitis out of his system, we
took trip by boat on the Nile, and saw
the banks where the people grow crops
by irrigation, and where an English
syndicate has built big dam, so the
whole valley can be irrigated, and tell
you it will not be long before Egypt will
raise everything used in the world on
that desert, and every other country
that raises food to sell will be busted up
in business, but it is disgusting to take
a trip on the Nile, cause all the natives
are dirty and sick with contagious dis
eases, and they are lazy and crippled,
and beg for living, and if you don't give
them something they steal all you got.
You are in luck if you get away without
having leprosy, or the plague, or chol-
era, or fieas.
So we went back to Cairo, and there
was the worst commotion you ever saw,
about my fireworks in the tomb. The
papers said that an American dynamiter
had attempted to blow up the great pyr-
amid, and take possession of the country
and place it under the American flag.
and that the conspirators were spotted
and would be arrested and put in irons
as soon as they got back from trip on
the Nile
Well, sir, dad found his career would
close right here, and that he would prob
ably spend the balance of his life in an
Egyptian prison if we didn't get out, so
we made a sneak and got into our hotel
and bought DISCUSSES and are going to
get out of here tonight, and try to get
to Gibraltar, or somewhere in sight of
home. Dad is disguised as shiek. with
whiskers and white robe, like a bath
robe, and am going to travel with him
as an Egyptian girl till we get through
the Suez canal.
Gee, but 1 wouldn't be a niger girl

CAMPING IN THE ROCKIES.
Delights of the Evening Around the
Fire Described by an
Enthusiast,

About dusk you straggle in with trout
or game. The campkeeper lays aside
his mending or his repairing or his note
book and stirs up the cooking fire. The
smell of broiling and frying and boiling
arises in the air. By the dancing flames
of the campfire you eat your third dinner
for the day-in the mountains all meals
are dinners, and formidable ones at that,
writes S. E. White, in THE Mountains"
The curtain of blackness draws down
close. Through it shine stars, loom
mountains cold and mistlike in the
moon. You tell stories. You smoke
pipes. After time the pleasant chill
creeps down from the eternal SHOWS.
Some one throws another handful OF
pine cones on the fire. Sleepily you pre-
pare for bed. The pine cones flare I'D,
throwing their light in your eyes. You
turn over and wrap the soft wooden
blanket close about your. chin You
wink drowsily and at once you are
asleep.
Late in the night you awaken to find
your nose as cold as dogs. You open
one eye. A few Goals mark where the
fire has been. The mist mountains have
drawn nearer, they seem to bend over
you in silent contemplation. The moon
is sailing high in the heavens. With a
sigh you draw the canvas trapaulin over
your head. Instantly it is morning.

AND JOHN GOT HIS PLACE.
His Better-Half Was to the Fore and
Brought Things Her
Way.

Three hundred motormen, gatemen, etc.,
were in the line in and near the offices of
the Intcrborougn Railway company trying
to get their old jobs back when a large
and square-jawed wife led her husband
past them all. No one dared resist her,
says the New York World, though many
of the men had been waiting for hours.
My husband wants TO go back to
work. said the woman. He's platform
man at the til station, she explained.

of Mr.. Hedley's assistants.
Not one minute. | wouldn't hear of

her jaws.

Norris.
Yes snapped the lady. John, you
reported, didn't your"
"No-o-o." admitted the man, timidly.
What cried the wife. Then you dis
obeyed orders!"
Yes the poor man answered. "The
fact is, the strikers wouldn't let me go up
the stairs to the station. / tried every
day, but they dragged me back"
H 'mph I'd like to see 'em drag me-
snorted the lady. I'D just like to see EN-!
Well. Mr.. Superintendent, does John get
back his position OF don't he?"
Mr.. Norris started as if he had touched
the third rail.
"Er-oh-oh-yes, madam! Oh, certainly
Yes, yes, mere matter of form. Oh, yes!
Go right back to work as soon as we ex-
anime him.
All the waiting men grinned at John,
who looked smaller than 30 cents worth
of radium.

ENGLISH OF FOREIGNERS.
Their Efforts at Mastering the Ian
guage Are oftentimes Very
Ludricous.

The struggle of foreigners who
have put their faith in dictionaries to
account for English as she is spoke
in New York are sometimes funny,
says the Times. An educated young
Italian asked an American who spoke
his language why the dictionaries were
so badly made.
There are two expressions which |
hear constantly" he said, ''and neither
of them is in any dictionary l have
looked into. They are 'ahbetchu' and
'idono'"
His American friend pondered for a
season, and then, with cheerful smile,
told him that "ahbetchu' stood for Il
bet you," and "idono" was short for
Il don't know
'But why" said the italian, when q
person is leaving, do you call saloon
after him? l can't understand it.
thought at first it was joke, to insin-
uate that was going to saloon. But
they call it after women, too
"Your saloon my boy" replied the
American, sis simply so long; that is
New York dialect for addio, adieu,
adios, auf Wiedersehen, farewell, or
good-by."

dad said ne would go UP or quit the tour
list business. He said he had come thou
sands of miles to Climb the pyramids,
and sit in the shadow OF the spinks, and
by ginger he was going to do it, and SO
we started.
Well, say, each stone is about four feet
high, and dad couldn't get up without
help, so an Arab would go up stone
ahead, and take hold of dads hands, and
two more Arabs would get their Shout
ders under dads pants, and shove, and
he would get up gradually. We got
about half way up when dad weakened,
and said he didn't care so much about
pyramids as he thought he did, and he
was ready to quit, but the guide and
some of the tourists said we were right
near the entrance to the great tomb OF
the kings, and that we better go in and
at least make formal call on the
crowned heads, and so we went in,
through dark passages, with little can

WHAT DID THE CATCHER SAYP
Something the "Fans" Would Like to
Know, But Will Never
Learn.

1t was the last half of the ninth.
The pitcher had gone up in the air, and
the bases were as full as three goats, re-
lates the Newark News.
The score was "a in favor of the team
in the field. \ single would tie the score.
A two-bagger would win the game.
Two men had flied out, and the man at
bat had two strikes against him.
1t was a crucial moment.
And, as we say, the pitcher was ratified.
Suddenly the catcher held up his hand.
His right hand
He removed his wire mask and stepped
toward the pitcher, who advanced to meet
him
With mouth close to the pitchers ear
the catcher whispered something. What
it was no one heard but the pitcher, who
returned to the box.
The ball shot true across the plate.
Strike three!" cried the umpire. The
pitcher had saved the day.
Now, then, the thing we want to know
is this: What did the catcher say to the
pitcher?
