Joe Cantillon, when he was an
umpire, had a way of making a
player feel foolish when he kicked
that helped him out of difficulties.
Win Mercer, who had such a sad
ending in California, was one of his
many victims in this way. Mercer
was pitching against us and we
had been tagging him pretty hard
all through the game. A close de-
cision came up at second base and
Cantillon decided in our favor. Mer-
Ger went after Cantillon pretty Sc
verely, claiming he did not know
how to umpire, as he was always
standing in the wrong place to see
a play correctly. "Cheer up, Win
ME-" said Cantillon, 81 have moth,

My first professional year was IN
1894 in Philadelphia, with Arthur
Irwin. We had, perhaps, one of the
greatest collection of hitters ever
gotten together. Irwin was struck
on morning practice and continued
it away into hot weather, but we
found a way to beat it. 1t is a
good hit over the Phillies right
field fence. We pitchers would stick
the ball over waist high, and Dele
hanty, Sam Thompson, Hamilton
and Clements would bling" all the
balls Irwin would furnish over the
fence and into Broad street, where
the waiting kids would make way
with them. 1t ould take less than

to the right, and the ball went by

A bird, he said, had flown by the

he had to chase to the fence for

ROCKEFELLER GIVES Cav. J
THE TAoMI5a OF 100000 IS
LIADE GOOD.
Oil Kings Donation for High Educa-
ton Is Paid-Income of Fund
Is 100000 Yearly.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE $10000,000
gift of John d. Rockefeller to the gen.
eral education board, which was an
nounced last June, was paid to the
board by Mr. Rockefeller in cash Mon
day. In his letter OF last June, Mr..
Rockefeller amour ced that this gift
would be forthcoming on the LIST of
October in cash or securities, at his
option, and the cash was turned over
were delivered to the executive COM
mittee of the board while in session by
F. 7. Gates, a representative of Mr..
Rockefeller, and also a member of the
committee. The payment was made in
a series of checks made payable to
George Foster Peabody. treasurer of
the board. Six of the checks were for
$1,OOO,0O0, and two for S2000,00O each.
The estimated income from the fund
will be at least 100000 year. The
principal, according to the terms of
the gift, is to lie held in perpetuity as
foundation for education" The dis
bursement of the income is left entirely
u,
that it is to be devoted to the promo
ton of comprehensive system of
higher education"
Ever since the gift was announced
last June the board has had it's agents
at work all over the United States. AS
result the walls of it's offices are lined
with shelves filled with reports of the
needs and conditions of higher educa-
tional institutions. The smaller, strug-
Cling institutions are those which have
been receiving the most attention, but
as yet no definite action has been taken
by the board in regard to the first dis.
tribution of money. Only about 300 or
400 institutions in the United States
are eligible for aid, and yet the board,
it is said, has received more than 500
applications.

F. w. Houck, of Sheldon, is The tray-
cling man Tor whom the original eight
pennies were subscribed
Houck struck Sioux City four years
ago with draft OF $l50 in his pocket
and not a penny in money. The fell
low travelling men learned of his pre-
dicament early in the day, and for a
some fun at his expense spread the
rumor around at the various hotels
that the draft was bogus s.nd that any
one who cashed it would b. swindied.
The banks and some OF the Sioux
City stores were also notified, and poor
Houck found himself unable to obtain
money for his draft
To add to his predicament members
of the order suggested that penny
collection be subscribed at the morn
ing session Of the state meeting to
buy their Sheldon friend haircut.
Eight cents were contributed, and
Houck refused to accept the purse and
the sum was turned over to the secre-
tary.
G. Olmstead guarded the eight cents
all through the year, and at the next
state meeting laid particular stress in
his annual report about the eight cents
"Houck" fund in the treasury Houck
in bantering manner, told the mem
bers of the order, in convention as
sembled, that the eight cents was not
enough to pay for haircut, and sug-
sested another collection be taken at
once. This was done, and with good
will many more pennies were added
to the Houck fund.
Secretary Olmstead carefully guard,
ed this addition to the fund for an,
other IL months, and then, at the an
| nual meeting at Cedar Rapids las
years, the members became serious
about the fund. 1t was suggested tina
the money be used for some good pur
pose, basis of fund for home. 4
resolution was presented and adopted
| to the effect that delegation be sen
| to the national meeting asking that
national home be built in Iowa.
