Might Do Injustice.

It really involved a very delicate bit
Of judgment. and. as this game proved,
there might arise an emergency in which
an umrIe could quite overcome a rally
being made by losing team simply
by changing the ball at an inopportune
moment for the batting side.
The ball which Rigler threw out Of
the game was perfectly whole so far as
the cover was concerned. The leather
did not seem to have stretched to any
extent and il was devoid of defect in
every way. That it was slippery was
true, but any ball would be bound TO
become more or less slippery on such
a day. and to withdraw il from the

WET BALL CAUSES
MUCH DISCUSSION
Interesting Question OF
Umpire's Authority in
New York.

Rather an unusual incident occurred in
a game between New York and Cincin-
natl in New York, which called forth a
technical protest from the manager OF
the New York team, and Rigler, the
umpire. with becoming candor, an
nounced to the spectators that the con-
test was being played under protest.
Owing 10 the great latitude which the
rules give TO the umpire TO judge Of the
condition OF the ball it is possible that
the protest would not have held If the
New York team had lost and had
chosen to place the matter before the
league. Nevertheless, AIcGraw thought
the matter of sufficient Importance TO file
an objection.
In the second inning Ames hit TO CEN
ter field for a base. and Shannon was
given a base on balls. Strang. who was
the next batter was hit in the ribs with
a resounding thud and went 10 first
The umpire picked the ball of the
ground and threw il out of the game,
claiming that It was too wet 70 be used
longer. He gave the Cincinnati pitcher
a dry ball with which 10 continue.

Ground for Objection.

McGraw Immediately objected on the
ground that it was unfair to the New
York team TO award the Cincinnati
pitcher a dry ball, with three men on
bases, especially in view Of the fact
that he had shown a tendency to be
Wild There was no controversy over
the matter, the umpire entertaining Nc
Graws objectiOn-which he had a per
feet right to make IS involving the in
depreciation Of a rule-in a friendly
spirit and acqCainting the public with
the fact that there was difference OF
opinion.
The rule in reference TO the ball says
that if in the judgment Of the umpire
the ball at any time becomes unit for
play from any cause he shall at once
deliver to the pitcher the alternate ball,
which is supposed to be in his possession.
The circumstances in connection with
this incident were Of so peculiar a ma
ture that il is a question whether il was
not distinct hardship TO the New York
team TO have dry ball turned over to
an opposing pitcher when by doing so
the pitcher misht profit TO the extent
that he would recover the control which
he was slowly losing.

COW ADOPTS TWO KITTENS.

Out In Fresno, CAL, there is a fine
gentle COW that adopted two kittens
when the mother cat died. She wait.
cd every morning until they had been
given their breakfast before eating
her own. and she washed them and
coaxed them to snuggle up under her
neck for their daily maps.
All night they slept in the stall
with her. One Of the kittens was
given to little girl near by. but the
other, now . full grown cat, still lives
with Buttercup, her foster mother,
who every day gives her some nice
warm milk.
Another COW, this one in New Jer.
sey. adopted and raised a family Of
ducks. The ducks were Matched in
. leather bed placed in the cows
stall In such a way that the heat from
her body kept the eggs warm, ana
yet not near enough to her to crush
The shells.

The stationer found no crab when
he returned. A thorough search Of
the ground door failed to reveal any.
thing, but a peculiar knocking sound
from upstairs attracted his attention.
On the top step of the stairs he found
the trouble. The crab, with his grip
pers fast in the sides of fat rat
was clinging to his captive. The rat,
nearly dead. struggled feebly for re-
lease. and little by little wormed his
way upstairs with the weight Of the
crab pulling steadily against him.

Arranging q Mystery.

A curious story Of the late Marquis
de Mores Is going the rounds Of the
Paris press. In his youthful days the
Marquis was a cavalry Lieutenant on
an eastern frontier garrison. and one
day while out at exercise with
party Of mounted men they found
themselves on German territory. Their
attention was called to the fact by
an Inn on the roadside bearing tho
sign: 1.-The King Of Prussia"
"A hundred francs to the man who
brings me that sign," he said loud
enough to be heard, and the party
rega:ned the French side OF the from.
tier at gallop. Next morning Lieut..
do Mores found the sign reared up
against the wall Of his quarters. and
taking 100 franc note in one hand
he walked slowly through the stables
With the hand behind his back.
Presently he felt hand take the
note, and = voice said quietly:
Thanks, Lieutenant"
De Mores was careful not to look
around or in any direction that could
assist idenkihcakion. Thus had any
outcry been raised the rape Of the
sign" would have been q mystery

HOW BABY GOT HAIR.
Once there was a dear little baby
and he did not have any hair at all on
his little head. So his mamma took
him out and put him down in the tall
grass, and he pulled the dandellon
blossoms OF and put his nose in them,
and held them while he looked to see
the funny milk come out OF the stem.
Then a good little fairy came along
that way and saw that the dear little
baby did not have one little bit OF
hair. And the fairy said: THAT is too
bad. not to have hair on such dear
little baby's head. I think / would
better get some"
So she few up into a great, tall
thistle.t0p and shook 1t and pulled
out the fluffy thistle-down. and the
wind picked it up and carried it along
and dropped 1t down on the baby's
head. And it grew there. And then
the little baby smiled. and put his
cunning little hand up and felt Of the
soft thistle-down resting on his little
head. And then his mamma had to
get . brush and brush 1t some; when
ever the wind blew it would get all
loose and fluffy again.
50 one day when all the little this
tledowns we're flying through the air,
that dear little baby was out playing
again, and the little white hairs all
stood up and reached out their arms;
and the wind came down and lifted
them, and the baby noated up. up. up.
very. very high. and doated along in
tho air, smiling because 1t was so
Nee and soft to float up there. Then
the wind carried him along. and pretty
seon the little baby came to a great.
hith, high tree in the clouds.
And 80 he sat down on big limb,
and there Vas a nice old owl sitting
th6re. And Mr.. owl ruffled up his
feathers and looked cross, but the lit
tie baby said: "Sit over q little bit"
and the little baby sat down close be-
side him and rested his little head
against the soft feathers. And then
the little baby said: Il am mammals
boy"
And Mr.. Owl opened his eyes and
nodded his head and looked polite and
said: "whoe!"
Mamma Florence. I tell You. and
rve got kitty and a new dolly"
And Mr.. Owl bowed his head Just
Is politely. only he said 'Whoo!"
TITS name is Thomas Jefferson, but
whit toll you any more II you don't
listen better. I'll call my papa"
'WA4pi" said the big owl. and then
he t66k his big old claw and scratch
Cd the back of hds head and made
himself all fluffy by shaking himself
So then the little boys head began
to sink down. down, down on Mr..
Owls soft feathers, and Mr.. Owl
shook himself and said: Get on my

70 your mamma: you are getting very |

SO little Fsseltop got on Mr.. Owls
back and put his arms around his
neck, and away new Mr.. Owl down

A RIVER IN THE OCEAN.

A RIVER IN 40G OCEAVN.
There is river IN the ocean. In
the severest droughts 1t never fails.
and in the mightiest hoods 1t never
overfows. Its banks and its bottom
are of cold water, while its current
is Of warm. The Gulf of Mexico is
its foundation, and its mouth is in
the Arctic Seas. It is the Gulf Stream.
There is in the world no other such
majestic flow OF waters. Its current
Is more rapid than the Mississippi or
the Amazon, and its volume more than
a thousand times greater.
It is believed, says the Chicago
News, that the warm watJs of the
Gulf Stream are nowhere permitted
in the oceanic economy to touch the
bottom of the sea. There Is every.
where a cushion of cool water be.
tween them and the solid parts Of
the earth's crust.
Now, cold water is one If the best
non-conductors OF heat, but il the Gulf
Stream were sent across the Atlantic
in contract with the solid crust Of
the earth comparatively a good con-
ductor or heat. instead Of being sent
across as it is in contact with a non.
cushion Of cool water to
feed 1t from the bottom. all its heat
would be lost in the first part of the
way. and the soft climate Of France
and England would be as that Of
severe in the extreme and
Ice-bound.
