The Mystery of Death.

Oh, death, how bitter is the thought of thee! How speedy thy approach How stealthy thy steps! How uncer tain thy hour! How universal thy sway! The powerful cannot escape thee; the wise know not how to avoid thee; the strong have no strength tc oppose thee; the rich cannot bribe thee with their treasure. Thou art q hammer that always strikes, sword that is never dull, net into which al! fall, a prison into which all must ell ter, sea on which all must venture q penalty which all must suffer, trib ute which all must pay. Oh, death death! Implacable enemy to the hu man race! Why didst thou enter into the world Luis de Granada.

The beginning of the career of ball players is always of interest. It generally happens that a man starts the profession as profession unlsnowlngly, and is sur- prised when he makes good.

His first appearance was with team from Mex enzie, a few miles from McLemores- ville The game was played at Martin, Tenn. Gardner pitched excellently, but unlike the majority who have narrated their beginning, he lost on account of miserable support.
 The little story connected with Gard ner's first appearance on the diamond In what could be called a real match game,' Is quite interesting.
 The manager of the Mackenzie team expected to have some well known play CTS to Join him for a trip, but they missed connection As the games had already been arranged, t was up to the mana ger to get players to make up the team and fill his engagement.
 The telephone was brought into use and McLemoresville called. Gardner had earned quite reputation with the coun- try team in his community. He com scented to make the trip if his catcher would go. The arrangements were made and when the team left Gardner and his catcher, a fellow named Hickman, were among the number.
 Gardner was asked If he could pitch the game but being bashful he did not want to tackle the proposition as the Martin team was made up from the best amateur talent of Carlo, H.. Hickman, Ky, and Jackson, Tenn. But he was prevailed upon to face the music, which he did, pitching, one of the best games ever seen on a Martin diamond. The game was lost on account of miserable support.
 In this game which could be called the first appearance of Gardner, he made quite a record as a hitter, securing one two-base hit. and two three-base hits.
 Being left-handed he used an under handed ball that fooled the best batters on the opposing team and he was the talk of the town, the Carlo boys wanting to sign him for their team
