A WOMAN AS UMPIRE.
Miss Clement of South Dakota Under
stands Baseball.

From the Denver Post,
Amanda Clement is the only girl
umpire in the northwest, and 1t is prob
ably true that she is the only woman
who has ever held an indactor in pro-
fessional baseball games.
This young woman has attracted
much attention in western baseball cir
Giles this year. She is just II years
old. good-loolSing, strong and healthy,
and at Yankton, where she is stu
dent. she is the captain of the cham
pion basketball team of the Yankton
college. At tennis she Is admitted to
be the champion woman player Of
South Dakota.
Dressed in natty blue suit and
short blue blouse, with her wealth of
hair tucked beneath cap, she is an
inspiring sight on the baseball dia-
mond, and, what Is more. as an UNI
pire she knows her business. She UNI
derstands the fine points of the game,
knows "inside play" and, being the
possessor of an eagle eye, seldom
makes a mistake. She is SO superior
to the common run of umpires
throughout the northwest that her
services are in much demand, and
two months of the last season she
has been constantly employed. With
the money she has earned as an UNI
pire Miss Clement says she will be
able to outfit herself for the next year
in college at Yankton.
When Miss Clement began umpirinS
games she was an attraction, chiefly
because of the novelty of seeing
woman in the position which Is gen
orally considered the most trying even
for a man. Miss Clement. however,
did not consider her position joke.

His Biblical Prototype.


From Harper's Weekly.
The head Of a well-kpown theological
seminary In the south is accustomed to
test the ability and self-possession OF the
students by sending thfm into the pulpit
with sealed envelope In their hands con-
taining the text OF sermon to be dellv-
cred on the spur OF the moment.
On one such occasion the student, on
opening his paper. read these instructions:
apply the story Of Zacehens to your
own circumstances and your call to the
ministry"
The student, cleverly enough, delivered
himself of the following.
brethren, the subject on which / adj
dress you is a comparison between FAC
cheus and myself. with reference to my
qualifications for the pulpit The first
thing we read of Zaccheus Is that he was
small of stature. never felt so small as
/ do now In the second place. we read
that Zaccheus was up tree. which Is
very much my position at present. Third
ly. II is related that Zaccheus made haste
to come down and in this | gladly and
promptly follow his example"
