the latter got irritated.

him as 1 do to the English common

The Ten sunhowers.
Maud and May were twins. Their homo
was on a great wooded farm miles away
from any neighbors. so they had no other
children for playmates But they made
pets of all the farm animals, and fed the
wild, gray squirrels till they became quite
tame. But the greater fun was In the play
house, out by the old stone wall. It was a
delightful playhouse. The back OF II was
the stone wall itself and the sides and roof
were covered with morning glory vines
Maud made cushioned furniture from tufts
OF moss. and May made morning glory
dolls and daisy grandmothers. For cups
and saucers there were acorns. Brother
Ben fashioned a little table OF a round
tree stump. and often the children pic
niclIed there.
You see. Maud and May did not have
many city toys. Therefore. II was a great
loss to them when. one day. Prince. the
new puppy. found their two dolls and play
fully tore them to pieces. OF course. Prince
knew no better. and Maud and May were
dreadfully sorry they had left the dolls on
a stool within his reach. but their sorry
didn't bring back the lost treasures.
One day Brother Ben planted a row Of
dark seeds along the stone wall. ''Therell
be flowers In time for the girls birthday"
he said laughingiy to his mother. There
are ten plants, i've apiece, as they'n be

BY and by, tiny green shoots came up;
and by and by a bud showed on top Of
every one OF the ten little plants.

right. either; on the contrary. it's down.
right shame. for the Western league cir
cult has some of the most enthusiastic and
persistent fans that can be found in the
country, but with them even patience will
In time cease to be a virtue. II is natural
for local fans to knock their respective
team manager and hold him responsible for
the conditions with his own team. But It
is not as just as II is natural. There may
be some justification In II, but to get at the
basic cause for the deterioration in the
Western league you must go beyond the
limits OF your own town. 1t does not lie
In Rourke nor in Duncan, nor IN Selee,
nor altogether in Burke nor Duclxy Holmes.
The fact OF the matter is-and 1t Is so well
known as to be patent to every fan who
has kept up with events In the last rev
years-the fruits Of Tebeauism and Cantil-
lonism are Just now being reaped. There's
your O'Neil and there's your Keefes and
there's your Doyles, Ponder on these things
and II you can't figure 1t out for yourself
then something's lacking with your mathe-
matics. Highhanded outlawry. unbridled
and rampant, has reigned until the league
is bound to collapse by Its own weight II
something Is not done at once. And 30 far
as this regime is concerned II better col
lapse and give way to a decent organiza-
ton and a decent administration. When

play are strangers and whose only pur-
pose 10 self-aggrandizement by whatever
methods obtained. can come into any league
and set themselves up as its arblters and
dictators. appoint a ngurehead, whom they
as easily control as a master his dog. name
their tools for umpires and discharge or
harass those they cannot oontroi-when
such things as these can be done with per-
feet impunity, the end should be FASTENED,
for law Is scandalized and justice turned
TO travesty. Yet this 10 the condition In

to name. but has been more difficult to
apply; Get rid Of Tebeau and Cantillon.

efforts, has not proven q paying PROPOSE

this year, because Of the unpopularity of
Tebeauism. II Colorado gets into the cir

But what Omaha should get and what
Omaha deserves Is admission into a larger
