The Scarlet TanaHer.

To see the scarlet tanager is to re-
member him always. He cannot be
confused with any other bird.
The body of the male tanager Is a
flaming red. His wings and tail are
jet black. There is no mixing Of col
ors.
The female is olive green, dusky and
yelowish below and attracts no spe-
cial attention.
The scarlet tanager nests from the
Missouri to the Atlantic. Many have
heard of the scarlet tanager who have
not seen him. His favorite haunt Is in
the open woodlands.
The nest itself is neat. shallow
basket Of roots constructed much after
the manner Of the rose breasted gros-
beak. The nests usually contain three
or four eggs. They are Of dusky,
greenish blue, thickly spotted with pur-
plish brown.
BY October the male has lost his
rich dress. and old and young. clad in
plain. unattractive plumage, betake
themselves to their winter home in
Central and South America.

Presidents Reform Committee I'm.
earths Some Strange Conditions.
Washington, July 3.-The anti-red.
tape committee appointed by President
Roosevelt to investigate all the de-
partments of the government has de-
cided to adjourn until autumn, so
many bureau chiefs and employees be-
ing on vacation that an inquiry dur
ing the summer would scarcely pro-
duce tho desired results. As far as
they have gone the investigators have
found curious conditions, particularly
in the purchase of supplies. It has
been learned that in one department
ink costs $3.50, while IN another the
price paid for the same quality is SO.
Blotting paper in one bureau is bought
for 50 and in another for IS. Although
there is undou btedly difference in the
quality, the committee thinks such
wide disparity is at least worth
searching investigation. Government
buildings in the various cities will be
Investigated, both as to the cost and
manner of management.

WILL ASK INJUNCTION
AGAINST government

Chicago, July 3.-Eftorts are being
made by the packers to defeat the gov
ernment's aim through injunction
proceedings, says the Record. Herald.
The packers have authorized their spe-
cial counsel, J. S. Miller, to file their
petition for an injunction at his dis
erection in the United States district
court. Mr.. Miller said that the action
seeking an injunction would be uncom-
mon but not without precedent.
my clients" said Mr.. Miller will
ask for an injunction against prosecu-
ton under the indictments on the
ground that the prosecution would be
irregular. The packing firms are now
under an injunction made permanent
bv Judge Grosscup. If they have vio-
lated that injunction they ought to be
cited for contempt before that tribunal
instead Of being indicted in the United
States district court. -

the latter movement the curve Is sharp
but with the former 1t Is more than
sudden and is sometimes startling. 1t
will be found difficult at first to con-
troll the ball, and the beginner Is apt
to be discouraged because of his wild
throws.
Bear in mind one thing: In ordi-
nary and curve pitching the ball leaves
the thumb first and the fingers last.
With the spit ball this is reversed,
and the thumb Is made to control the
ball, instead of the fingers.
The wetting of the two fingers is
only for the purpose of allowing the
ball to slip away from them easily.
VERY little rotary motion is i'm
parted to the spit ball. 1t comes up

most see the seams. Just as he dra s
back to hit 1t the ball seems to re-
ceive new impetus and drops or jumps
as II struck down from behind. II the
batter hits where he aimed he misses

That used to be the cas-, before
batters realized what they were ND
against. In desperation. after being
fooled few times, they took to run
ming up to meet the ball. with the
hope of hitting 1t before it broke. or
just as it was starting to. In this,
however, the advantage Is all with the
pitcher, as he may fake spit ball
delivery and send in fast ball, which
Is past the batter before he gets start

THAT is what has caused so many
former heavy hitters to become dis.
heartened and declare that nowadays

is THE FINEST GYMNAST.
East Indian Athlete Thirty-four Inc |, e,
Ta11 Has Big ADDetite.


Smaun Sing Hpoo, the smallest ath-
lete in the world, is the latest wonder
India has sent to London, SAYS a spe-
cial to the st. Louis Post Dispatch. He
Is ~ years Of age. His height is "a
inches. his chest measurement 22h
inches, his hip measurement also 22H
inches, and his fighting weight twenty
pounds.
Sing Hpoo, unlike the ordinary
dwarf, is exceedingly we'll developed
and symmetrically built. He wears an
immaculate frock coat some fifteen
inches in length, pair Of daintily cut
trousers, fancy vest, perfectly cor
rect collar and tie, and shiny silk
hat of 1908 shape, just large enough
to ut over the fist Of an ordinary man.
His companion. Captain Wetzlen, in
vited him to show his acrobatic skill,
whereupon the little man took hold Of
the captains hands in firm grasp
raised his body gracefully In the air.
and performed what IS known in GYM
nastic circles as long arm balance"
In the most approved style. Then, us
ing the captains hands as pair OF
rings" Sing Hpoo, turning somer-
sault, stretched out his tiny body rig
idly in the manner adopted by every
gymnast when showing his PAGES.
Sing Hpoo's accomplishments are
not. however. confined to acrobatic
tricks. He is a good llnguist, for he
speaks English well, German fluently
and French slightly. not to mention his
native Burmese.
Perhaps the most amazing thing
about Sing Hpoo is the fact that his
appetite is not at all in proportion to
his size He Is accustomed to sit down
with ordinary mortals and eat just as
much as any one at the table.
For breakfast he likes three or four
eggs. and as a pick -me-up he is accus-
toned to swallow couple Of dozen
oysters at sitting. He eats a large
quantity of meat. but Is not fond Of
potatoes or other vegetables.
Among his treasured possessions is
gold bracelet. slightly larger than a
wedding ring. which he wears round
his little brown wrist. 1t was given
to him by Miss Loie Fuller, an Ameri-
can dancer.

The Book of Memory

My grandma has curious book she
often let's me see.
When in the dusk leave my play to 81,
upon her knee.
l cannot touch the book Mt all, but shut
my eyes up tight,
While grandma tells the pictures. and
see them clear and bright.
| see the dear old farmhouse, where my
grandma used to play,
The barn, with all the cattle and the
fragrant mows of hay,
The pets that grandma used to have, and
all her queer old toys,
And the little country school house, full
Of merry girls and boys.
And there are other pictures, too, which
make my grandma sigh;
She says | must not see them now, but
wait till by and by.
But though she thinks they're far too
sad to show to little me.
She's sure they all look brighter when
I'm sitting on her knee.
My grandma says I'm making now a
book to be my own.
And that I'll often look at it and smile,
when | am grown:
And then I'm sure the picture that I'll
like the best to see
Will be myself a-sitting in the dusk on
grandma's knee!

EXPECT REVOLT IN GARRISONS.
Extent of DiSaffeC tiOn Opens Eyes OF
the Bureaucracy.

St. Petersburg, July 3.-The bloody
events that have taken place at Odessa,
Libau, Sebastopol, LODI and Warsaw
have revealed such state of disaffec-
ton in the Russian army and navy
that it is doubted here if the gunners
Oh any warship in the Black sea fleet
will fire on the Potemkine. Should
they mutiny and join the rioters, it is
likely that large sections of the garri-
sons in all of the ports of the Black sea
and the Baltic sea will rise up against
the government on hearing the news.
The news received here has opened
the eyes of those who heretofore pro-
fessed to believe that the disturbances
were only local in character and would
be easily suppressed. 1t is admitted
on all sides that the Romanof dynasty
faces crisis that may topple over ne
throne. The damage at Odessa up to
the present time is estimated at *12,-
500, 1000, and only the absence of wind
saved half of the city from being burn
ed on Wednesday night.

GRAFT A GREAT Menace
TO OUR Institutions

Oberlin, o., July 3.-"The menace
of our so-called prosperity of today is
that the men among us who become
powsrs-financial, political, social
abuse their power" Thus spoke James
B. Dill, of New York, lawyer, banker,
clubman and author, in an address to
the graduating class Of Oberlin col
lege. He delivered scathing rebuke
to men who misuse positions Of honor
and trust for purposes of personal gain.
In urging his hearers to "go back to
beginnings" Mr.. Dill commended that
grating" which was foreign to the
true American character, had been de-
veloped by the mad rush for wealth
and the recognition of false standards
by educated men in the competitive
struggle for business power and social
prominence.
"a large part of our modern pros
perity," he said, "is to a perilously
large extent bottomed upon an over
production of fraud and sham. The
crisis is acute. feeling of distrust
is growing throughout the country.
have been in one way or another taken
possession of by the interruptions for
the purpose of deceiving the unwary.
Trust companies have been made the
mediums of the fotations CT specious
and fraudulent promotions.
"Some of the companies in the field
of life insurance. the highest, and in
sense sacred form of investment, are,
as we all know now, conduits through
which the savings of the policy helders
are diverted into operations for specu
lative purposes.
"Credit and good faith, not money,
are the basis of business. Good or
bad, our modern prosperity is founded
on public confidence. Take that away
and the whole fabric falls.
"The fact is that the Unprecedented
material growth of the country, the
resulting creation Of immense private
fortunes, the massing of great aggre-
cations of corporate capital. industrial
combinations and railroad mergers, all
ton of the people upon great financial
achievements and to establish in the
highest place in the popular estimation
the CAPTAINS Of industry and the pow
erful financiers, little regard being
had, in making up the judgment, to
the financial virtues of private indi-
vidual life.
"This indictment of our business life
is not based upon an inherent, ineura-
BILE defect in our American character,
but on the contrary these evils are an
outgrowth of our American strenuosity
in the riotous race for the easy dollar
and the many dollars. In the hearts of
genuine men and women Of our coun-
try there is an appreciation of the i'm
portance of character; the rank and
file of the American people not only
believe in, but also stand for, right
living and a conscience under COM
mand and unfettered by business envi-
ronments.
Therefore, right and honesty will
triumph: Saturnalia of graft, an era
of grab will find itself short lived,
speedily to be ended by the uplifting
influences Of educated men and women
of character.

HOW THEY LIVE IN NEW YORK.
Difference Between Life There and St.
Vitus Dance Slight.

A furniture dealer Is quoted as say
ing that New York Is witnessing the
passing Of the old shioned or sta
tionary bed, according 10 the Provi-
dence journal. Ground space, which
means space everywhere, Is becoming
too valuable to devote to Il contrivance
so bulky and monumental. The de.
airy beds, beds that can be folded and
put out OF sight, tucked away behind
pictures or thrust into rings. resem-
bling napkin rings, and not much
larger. These rings are numbered for
the convenience Of the family and can
be hung on nails in closets. The beds
are made Of an elastic material which
Is stretched between heavy chairs or
trunks when in use.
In the metropolis everything, includ-
ing comfort. is sacrificed to appear
ances. Hotel guests. fiat jewellers,
bOarders and residents with limited in
comes are anxious to create the I'M
preston that what was and is a plain
bedroom Is a sitting room or parlo-
According to this dealer, If permanent
beds are tolerated at all they are made
to order to fit into inches and corners
so that every inch Of carpet or waXed
floors may be utilized.
There Is reason for believing that
one Of these days even the bed that
can be carried in the pocket or sus'
pended from a gas jet will be discard
ed. New York people will discover
that they can't afford to close theil
eyes. II they remain in town and &C
to sleep they will be pretty sure to
miss something; and If they go home
via the bridges, ferries and suburban
trains 1t will be time to get up and
dress when they arrive.
Already, for majority Of the popu
lace, it is from "a to 140 miles from
the breakfast table to the office, and
from work to supper, and the dis
tances are constantly increasing. The
hour is rapidly approaching when the
difference between New York and ths
st. Vitus dance will not be apprecl
able.

BE Kind to Your Pets.

There Is no better way to teach chill
dren to be kind to animals than to
give them pets to care for, and then
to make them responsible for that
care The fact that dumb creatures
are dependent upon human beings can
not be taught too early in life. The
facts that they cannot make their
wants known and that If their food is
neglected or forgotten they will suffer
with hunger and thirst can be strik-
1ngly demonstrated to the child when
he Is hungry, and it Is explained to
him that his pets are just as hungry
as he is when he thinks he cannot
wait another minute for his supper
