Mark Twain was talking of war
and of the hardships and privations
of sieges.
"A. Frenchman," he said, called
one day on a woman who had two
dogs. They were ugly little brutes.
and, when they came near him, the
man pushed them out of the way
with his foot.
perceive. sir, you are not very
fond of dogs
THE man started in surprise.
I'm not fond of dogs! he ex-
claimed. Why. madam, ate more
than twenty of them during the siege
of Paris!' "-Harper's Weekly.

Sunday afternoon to begin her long

and happy, but just before came
over three years ago, they had them

women rush like mad, most of
them with nothing much TO do when
they get there?"
Friday afternoon she put her
daughters baby to sleep and started
out fora short visit to a SON nearby.
Just as she got, in front of the house,
and about halfwa across the etreet,
an aelectric brougham, running fast,
pulled around the corner and bore
down upon her. She stood still in
her terror. The heavy cais hit her
and threw her 15 feet right INTO the
doorway of the house where she had
lived. She never regained conscious

morning.
She was never i'll day, and yet

A WEAK DEFENSE.
4 Violation of the FOurteen-PInye

A Violation of the FOurteen-PInyer
 Rule.
 New Orleans Picayune.
 About the weakest defense presented for any of the clubs violating the fourteen player limit Is that which Walter Taylor makes in favor of Billy Smith and the Atlanta team. Accord ing to MT. Taylor, all the alleged sus pended players at Atlanta are very. very bad boys, and only being disciplin ed by Billy Smith. Here is what MT. Taylor says: 50 there is a kick com ing from New Orleans on Billy Smith and his suspended players. Well. that Is bad. because 1t is unjust to man who has given every evidence of want ing to be fair and honest Billy Smith has done what any manager would or should do under the same circum- stances. If he had not done exactly as he has there would not be any use of having a manager. To start with he suspended Bug Raymond for conduct that was bad. There have been more rumors that Bug threw that game to Birmingham, the loss of which was the Immediate cause of his downfall. That perhaps does the Bug an injustice, for it Is hardly likely that he did this His sins seem to be more of omission ttan commission. He did not take care of himself. and when he went into the box was unable to make good. Bug is naturally a good hearted, but not particular person about his habits.

He likes to stand around with the boys and dispense hot air and listen to the big man the Bug is. That he looks upon the cup that cheers. but delib- crates, and does not think of tomor- row. Bug was spoiled, just like a he fell, not morally, but physically and Billy Smith suspended him. That is all there is to the Bug story. Smith had nothing else for him to do. If he had released Bug. the chanc- es are some other manager would have come along and told the offending pitcher how badly he had been treated, and put him in the box to beat, Att lanta- after that club has spent hum dreds of dollars on him. That is why Billy Smith suspended him. Bug was many who sympathize with him. but 1t had to come. Just the. same.

He does not care & for himself as h;,saia an at9iefe any condition. During the winter, 1t is said. he made no effort to keep In shape. and reported 10 Billy Smith in the spring in a bad fix, not from drink. but general carelessness Burnum had his expenses paid, anu everything that could be done for him. but he did not round to, and'so he was put on the on the suspended, list? He may get in condition and be able to play ball be- fore the end of the season Is over, and some man who breaks down under the heavy strain. If such Is the case, he, has a perfect right to take him. Bur mum is now getting stronger, so why should Smith throw away what he has spent? If Burnum makes an honest effort to get in shape and does so, 1t Is more than likely Smith will give him his release. unless he decides to give him another chance.
 Doc Childs seems to be taking life easy. He is not worried. apparently. over the situation. Doc has bum shoulder and the last time he was seen for any team He is a good man, whom every fan. in Atlanta would be glad to see back In the game: but there ruining his future by attempting to pitch now. Jack Evers, one of the hardest working players that ever up with sprained ankle The injury nut him out of the game. He would rather play for Atlanta than any town in the league, and If he does not play him, it Is hardly likely that he would go anywhere else
 "These are the men Billy Smith is charged with trying. to keep on his this like he was holding any man back in order to have players in reserve. Atlanta is not seeking advantage over any club in the league that Is not fair and square. Naturally. Atlanta fans and the management and the players want to beat the other clubs, but they do not want to do 1t by unfair methods There Is certainly discredit and surely no credit in winning a competition by any other than honorable means. and if those who are making the complaint in New Orleans can show there Is any thing wrong In the management of Billy Smith, let them come forward with the proof.
