Veteran Pitcher Talks
of Old Time Playing.

A most interested spectator of the
Pittsburg- Philadelphia game recently
was Charles Esper, famous left hand
ed pitcher of ten years or more ago.
Esper was so speedless that he was
called "Slow Go Charley" Even if
Esper didn't have swift pitches he was
successful. He doated the oval up to
scores of batsmen who in their eager
ness to drive it over the fence often
made feeble hits.
Esper was most successful against
sluggers. Jacob Pulvermacher Beckley,
the big first baseman, admitted his
inability to fathom the SLOWS" of Es-
per. When Esper was with the Balti-
more club he made such show of
Eagle Eye" that the Pittsburg man
agement traded Beckley to New York
while game was going on. Beckley
heard of the swap in the third inning
and at once left the field.
Esper was much interested in the
slab work of Albert Leifeld, Pitts
burgs big boy.

and a Bottle,

Not so very long ago, before matches
were quite so common as they are
now, and, indeed, in some country
places to-day lamp-lighers are used
for lighting lamps and candles, and
even gas jets. They are made of strips
of newspaper about IS inches long

are made into rather close rolls. be.

tended it is lighted at fire.
Make number of these lighters,
and then try these few tricks with
them, keeping away from drafts while
so doing, and having a scuttle or a
dish of water near by in which to drop
them when charred:
Hold one of the lighters in slant
ing position, with the end farthest
from your hand pointing downward,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Light
the lower end, and as the flame burns
upward, a tongue of flame will remain
burning at the lower charred end.
If you blow this flame out, leaving
the upper one still burning, stream
of smoke will take the place of the ex.

can light like gas.
For the second trick leave the up"

folding it down, and hold the lighter
at that end to prevent it from unroll.
ing. Now light the lower end, and
the flame will move upward, no flame
remaining at the charred end. In
stead, the smoke will pour out of the
upper, open end, and it may be lighted
there, as before it was at the lower
end, like gas.
If you will now repeat this last trick,
at the same time holding the charred
end over the mouth of wide mouthed
bottle, and watch for the moment
when the smoke begins to pour out
of the upper end, third experiment
may be made.
AS you see the smoke streaming
out, pinch the upper end, and it will
be forced back and will issue out of
the lower charred end without burn
ing and enter the bottle, which it will
fill. If you touch flame to the smoke
in the bottle, twill ignite with sud-
den flash.
In the way just described, fill bot
tie with smoke, and cover it, letting it
subside. Repeat this, filling the bottle
and letting the smoke subside for
seven or eight times. You will find,
as a result, a collection of several
drops of yellow liquid. Now heat these
drops over a fame on tin space box,
and smoke will again be produced that
you may burn as before.

difference between Marie and herself,
she reflected, enviously, could all be
summed up in the one word-advan-

For her part, she saw no reason
why, just because her mother and
Marie's had been school chums, they
should insist on friendship between
their daughters. She wished she had
not come to pay this visit, and was
heartily glad that the last hour of it
would soon be over.
When they left the car Marie said:

train goes, Anna, and 1 want to stop

Leading the way into large hotel,
she stepped to the desk and spoke
to the clerk. He nodded, and handed
her letter. Marie, her puzzled
friend from the country still follow
ing, took the elevator to the parlor,
and asked to be excused while she
read her letter.
AS she turned its pages her face
flushed and grew pale. She put it
with Anna, but there was an under
current of suppressed excitement, and
at last it broke barriers.

room in just two hours"
Marie paused. She expected awed
sympathy, but the girl from the coun-
try was not even looking at her. In

Then she said, quietly: Marie,
heard your mother telling your father
yesterday that the reason she got on
with you better than he could was
because she trusted you. She said
you knew it would break her heart if
you betrayed that trust, and she was
sure you would never do it."
Marie looked up, startled. Anna
had risen-not deprecating now, nor
Ill at ease.
A struggle followed, but Anna Wood
never faltered. She realized now,
with a sudden thankfulness, that she
had brought from her country home
