LEMON FOR A WASHER.
How a Virginia Woman squeIched 4
FIirt on Shipboard.

Passengers on the Carmania, which
recently arrived at New York from
Liverpool, took great delight in telling
about the impressive manner in which
the lemon treatment had been adj
ministered to an English chappie who
had made himself extremely 6Dnox-
tous to most Of the good looking wo-
men on board, says the New York
World. The presentation took place
on the main deck few afternoons
ago.
The fact that woman happened to
be with her husband made no differ
ence to the British masher He SIM
ply threw the persuasion power of his
g.ances on to the last notch 1t was
no wonder that on the second day
out several angry husbands assembled
in the cafe and held council Of war;
Leave him to me-" said Mrs. n. O..
Jackson, the wife Of a prominent in
yentor Of Norfolk, Va, when she
heard of the husbands meeting. "I'll
teach him lesson he won't forget In
hurry"
Unaware of the manner in which
sentiment against him was crystalliz-
ing, the self satisfied tourist stuck
valiantly to his task of winning
smiles. Every time he appeared on
deck he was draped in sartorial SEN
sation, his taste in hosiery running to
pigeon blue and elephants breath.
''Be on the main deck this after
noon," whispered Mrs. Jackson to all
the folks the other morning. They
were all there, and presently they saw
Mrs. Jackson and a woman friend do
ing a little road work. When the
masher made his appearance Mrs.
Jackson tossed him a shy little glance.
That settled it. He fell in behind.
and to his great satisfaction the wo-
men seemed to be greatly excited over
his attentions.
Mrs. Jackson waited until they
reached point where the interested
spectators could see them. Then she
turned and held her hand toward him
in friendly manner. He reached for
1t and when he drew back his palm
clutched-an Overgrown lemon!
The laughter that followed rocked
the boat. The men hooted and the
men shouted, make mine a lemonade,
Mr.. Bartenderv' The Englishman,
In utter confusion, stumbled to his
room and remained there until long
after the other passengers disem-
barked.

Story Of the Great Chess Master and
Celebrated PAINTING.

Celebrated Painting.
Paul Morphy, on his visit to Phila-
delphia, was the guest of clergyman,
the Rev. Mr. H. On his arrival at the
minister's home the chess master was
first ushered into the library, and his
attention was at once attracted by a
painting over the mantel, which was
fine copy Of a celebrated painting rep
resenting a game Of chess between
young man and the devil, the stake be-
ing the young mans soul.
The artist had most graphically de-
picted the point in the game where it
was apparently the young mans move,
and he seemed just to realize the fact
that he had lost the game, the agony of
despair being shown in every line of
his features and attitude, while the
devil from the opposite side Of the ia
bic gloated over him with fendish de
light. The position Of the game appear
ed utterly hopeless for the young man,
and Mr.. 81. said he had often set it up
| and studied it with his chess friends,
| and all agreed the young mans game
was certainly lost
Mr.. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied it for several minutes,
when finally, turning to Mr.. H., he
said:
II can win the game for the young
man.
Mr. H. was of course astonished and
said, els it possible?"

The true way is to find out what is

PROPER MANNER OF READING.
Writer Sees Much Harm In Multi.
plicity of Books.

It seems to me that with the multi
plication of books we are losing all
sense of literature. Leisure and three
books, Bible, Shakespeare, Walt
Whitman, might make a man truly
wise if the seeds of wisdom were IN
him. do not know even wise man
whose instinct for wisdom would not
be deadened by the Reorganization of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Books
should be taken in doses no bigger
than music or pictures; they are even
harder to digest There is more
drunkenness in a book than in all the
vineyards of France. A book may re-
make mans soul. Books should be
treated with reverence or cast out as
dirt. They are in danger of passing
out Of the service of the temple into
the parcel delivery" of the grocer.
Nothing is gained by reading book
unless you give to that book more
than it brings to you. All these peo-
pie who read with their eyes only are
fatally wasting their time. A book
read specifically makes the reader
more superficial, and to read for Gin
formation is to gnaw at the bones
of meat.-Arthur Symonds in London

WOMAN HAS FINE RECORD.
Keeper of Lighthouse, She Has Saved
Eighteen Lives.

Ida Lewis recently celebrated her
fiftieth year as keeper of the Lime

Newport, R. l. AS girl and woman
Ida Lewis has lived a remarkable life.
Her bravery and skill in handling a
boat are we'll known and her fame is
secure as the great woman life saver
in the world, for she has the credit of
having saved no less than 10 lives,
most of her rescues having keen effect
ed in the face of extreme danger and
in winter. AS keeper of the Lime
island lighthouse, to which post she
was appointed in recognition of her
bravery and record as life saver on
the death of her father, Miss Lewis
has shown herself as careful and eff
cient as a man could be. She is one
of the few women in such a position.

GRIT SAVED HIS LEG.
Ranchman Rode Far After Most Serk
GUS Injury.

Jack Farland, rSnchman living at
the base of Pixies Peak, and whose
post Office is Midland, in this county,
yesterday suffered broken leg by
being caught between a horse which
he was riding and a timber wagon
which he was attempting to pass
while en- route to this city, says the
Cripple Creek Times. Farland dis
played the greatest of pluck by riding
Oh to Victor after suffering the injury,
although he said upon arriving here
that he felt several times that he must
give up. Knowing, however, what
difficulty would attend any attempt to
dismount, and how well nigh impossi-
bic it would be for him to remount in
the event that he succeeded in getting
safely off his horse, the ranchman
gritted his teeth and kept on. After
having his leg set by a surgeon of
this city, Farland collapsed and it
was late in the afternoon before he
was able to proceed homeward in a
carriage, the accident having hap
pened early in the morning.

The National Game of
Baseball Follows Flag
American Army Has Taken Up the
Game Through Efforts of
Gen. Burt.

After introducing the great game of
baseball into the army of the United
States, and, incidentally. into the
navy, Gen. A S. Burt, U. S. A, is now
endeavoring to make the system of
calling balls and strikes a simple one
in the major leagues. He bases his
argument on the fact that not one
fan in a dozen knows what is called
on a batter, and if the umpire should
be instructed to raise his right hand
above his shoulder in calling strike
and his left hand in calling ball
every fan would know at once what
was doing.
Silk" OLoughlin, one of the Amer
lean league handlers of the indicator
can be heard probably better than
any other umpire in the major leagues
to-day, but even his powerful Strike
tub" does not carry way out to the
farthest bleacher seats, and the sit
tiers in that region have to guess and
guess and guess. But, as the general
says, the mere raising of a hand
would clear everything up and tighten
the hearts of the faithful.
Gen. Burt is known in the army
wherever there is a ball team. 1t
was he who had the courage to play
with enlisted men, he himself being a
commissioned officer, and in this man
ner paved the way for others. In the
Philippines he often competed in
games in which the captain of the
nine was mere sergeant And, as
there must be discipline on a ball
nine, the same as in an infantry com
pany, the general was not the boss
during the game.
By introducing the game into the
army while in the Philippines it is
now played wherever a Yankee sol.
der spreads his tent, be it in Cuba
or Hawaii, or Panama, or Porto Rico
And whenever the battleships OF
cruisers touch a port where the ma.
tives know anything about baseball,
a game is arranged speedily between
the crew and the shore foi.S. Espe.
cially has this been the case II Japan.
Thus, if Gen. Burt succeeds in get
ting the innovation through with re-
gard to the calling of balls and
strikes, he will merely add another
triumph to his already long list and
baseballdom will have occasion to dc
him homage

many people claimed that some of the
fights among this trio had queer
look, there is no doubt that some of
the reversals of dope" could be at
tributed to the Indian sign"
Joe Walcott certainly had the
sign" on George Gardner any time
they started, and yet Gardner could
beat Kid Carter, who, in turn, de-
feated Walcott. In these instances it
looks like a good example of the
Indian sign"
Another case that could be cited is
that of Jimmy Gardner and Buddy
Ryan. Buddy was a first-class fight
err in every respect, and yet he was
comparatively easy for Gardner,
while Ryan beat men with whom
Gardner would not have ''look-in."

Indian Sign" Pugilists
Are Usually Winners
Queer Tradition in Fistiana About
Mysterious Road to the Victor's
Goal.

Several fight critics in attempting
to explain the decisive manner in
which Honey Melody beat Willie
Lewis, of New York, in their recent
engagement, attribute it to the In
dian sign" This is a familiar eX-
preston to the followers of pugilistic
events. and is used many times to eX-
cusc defeat of local favorite. But
for the benefit of anyone who may
not be acquainted with the term, a
word Of explanation will not be amiSS
When a man is said to have the In
dian sign" on another fighter it SIM
ply means that the possessor of this
mysterious sign" has defeated man
once, and is considered a sure winner
any time the pair meet again in the
ring. It is an old saying and is firm
~ believed in by most of the men
closely connected with the fighting
game Whether or not it was a case
of Indian sign" in the recent Mel
lody-Lewis match is immaterial.
There are plenty of instances in the
history of the ring where it does
seem certain that some fighters held
the Indian sign on others. And Il. 2
more you listen to trainers and men
intimate with fighters the more firm
" are you convinced that there is a
great deal of truth in the idea that
certain men can beat others under al
most any condition.
Take an example that is always re-
ferred to by believers in the Indian
sign'-that of Young Corbett and
Terry McGovern-and they will tell
YOU that Young Corbett could beat
the Brooklyn terror any time. A
well-known fight critic visited each Of
the fighters in his dressing-room just
before he was to enter the ring for
what proved to be Corbett's second
victory over Terry. When he asked
Young Corbett how he felt in regard
to the outcome of the fight, the Den
verite replied: well, Britt might
beat me, Herrera might beat me, or
YOU might beat me, but l can beat
this fellow any time. He was just
made for me- That showed Corbett's
supreme confidence.
In McGovern's dressing-room there
was a different reply to the inquiry
as to what he thought the result of
the fight would be. Terry, who was
usually so strong in his belief that he
could win against anybody, and never
hesitated to express his opinion, said
that night: Il don't know. He's a
tough fellow" That showed the diff
ference, and that confidence which
Corbett possessed and his subsequent
decisive defeat of McGovern is con-
gidered positive proof by many sport
ing men that Corbett had the Indian
sign" on Terry. And they claim the
Denverite would win any time the
pair start.
This is one of the mos; striking in
starces of the Indian sign" There
are many other cases where it is
claimed that certain pugilists could
always beat others. Take the case Of
three fighters who were active about
five years aso-Joe Walcott, George
Gardrysr and kid" Carter. Although
