DOLLAR THAT CAME TOO LATE

Last week an old soldier died in the
Wisconsin Soldiers home. He had
sons and daughters, but not the means
to live independent Of them and so
chose to pass his last days with his
old comrades in the refuge earned by
him and them in the fullness of their
youth by their courage and patriotism.
But by will he left to his children
$4,000 which was his share of the Rus
sell Sage estate, for he was nephew
of the great financier He had not a
dollar IN his hand, nothing but his
pension for himself, but he leaves to
the young and strong this considera-
BILE fortune, not penny of which he
ever enjoyed.
What commentary this is on Rus
sell Sage's methods in life and of the
inhumanizing effects Of money greed?
A small part of this fortune, the in
come from one-fourth of it, would have
filled the closing years of this old hero
with happiness. He could have been
with his family, not as burden but
as counselor and father He would
have been free to come and go among
his children, friends and neighbors.
But the clutch of greed held fast until
death relaxed its grasp and until death
made the reluctant gift useless as
benefaction.-D News-Tribune.

many respects, not for any radical aitera- tions. but to improve the wording of several sections of the code. with the view to mak- ing the measure to define,
 My attention was recently called to the fact that two of the prominent rule makers of the lea gues held opposite views in regard to the repeal or retention of the existing foul strike rule. Another contention is A need- ed change in the scoring rules, so as to give more encouragement to team work at the bat;'' the scoring rules now giving a high premium to record batting instead of encouraging playing for the side"
 An regard to the foul strike rule and its repeal or amendment. I simply have this to say. ''As at present worded the rule is not only damaging to team work at the bat, but 1t is a heavy handicap to successful baserunning. In the first place, in its eff feet on batting it cuts off a portion of the class of effective hits known as low liners balls hit on line to the outfield. which, after passing over fair ground in front of first or third base. suddenly curve to foul ground These particular hits are never tntentIoual fouls and should not be penalized as foul strike hits. In fact, they properly belon gin the base hit column and should be so recorded.
 "secondly the foul strike rule materially retards the stealing of bases. and this result should be obviated by an amendment to the rule so as to prevent the calling Of foul strikes when runner is on a base. as
 
 ball foul with a runner on base. though he may when no one is on a base to be as sisted around by batsman.
 ''The existing rule governing the calling of strikes Is one of tho worst wordad laws in the code. With the view of preparing a sort of compromise rule. to be discussed at the coming meeting of the joint committee of rules at New York in February, append the revised rule, which have sent to Pres idents Pulliam, Johnson. and Powers for their approval and t .s as follows:
 Rule 49--The umpire must call strike on the batsman under the following condi- tions:
 Section 1-when the ball is hit foul and Is caught on the fly.
 Section 2-when the ball is hit to foul ground. back of the line of the home, first, or third bases.
 Section 3---When the ball is bunted to foul ground and no runner is on a base.
 Section 4-When the batsman fails to strike at a ball which passes over the home base and within legal range.
 Section 5-When he strikes at a ball which hits any part of his person.
