AGAINST SUNDAY BASEBALL

Kansas House Strikes by Prohibiting
Admission Fee at Sunday Game.
Topeka, Jan 5O--The Kansas house
has passed a bill making II a misde-
meanOr to charge an admission fee to
a baseball game on Sunday Should
the measure become a law it would
mean the end Of the Western league
and the Kansas State league, for only
the Sunday games were profitable
Few Of the Kansas professional clubs
have ever brought profit to their own
ers, and IN many instances their
maintenance has fallen heavily on a
few men. These ind their reward in
having an opportunity to see the great
American game played under proper
regulations Sometimes the support
ers Of the clubs are accentuated by a
local pride in giving up their good
money Tub Welch may be bought
from Evansville, Ind, or that great
little battery down in Vicksburg, Miss,
be induced TO finish the season with
the sure pennant winners.
The baseball crowds-the fans
that stand packed in the bleachers on
Sunday afternoon-cheer, It is true,
so they may be heard across the
tracks, but aside from that they are
about as orderly and as good natured
d q 4AhE luuADEL OL pEL5D4l8 II OAAE
inclOsure could be expected to be.
Plenty Of cheering and chamng-the
baseball fan" IS a great kidder-and
nothing stronger than soda pop to
drink That's the Sunday afternoon
baseball game as conducted by the
regular organizations OF course,
there is another kind OF game, now
not so general as ten years ago. The
two teams met on open grounds, drove
away-if they cOuld-whOever hap
pened to be playing there, and with
a keg on third base played for a
purse to which each had contributed
alike. Sometimes the game ended ac-
cOrding to rule; many other times It
ended with half Of one team pursu-
ing the umpire, the other half driv-
ing before IL the poor deluded man
who had been persuaded TO act as
stakeholder.
There is little about the Sunday
games as the leagues conduct them
to be condemned, and they give much
innocent enjoyment to men who work
all week And all men in Kansas do
work every week day-excepting, per
haps, the lawmakers.

From Oakley Graphic
Last week a meeting was held at
Russell Springs and steps taken to-
wards making inducements to the
north and south railroad which has
been agitated a great deal OF late, to
cross Logan county. As We under
stand the proposition the contemplat-
ed road is to run from Garden City to
GoodIand, there to connect with the
Rock Island. This. it IS claimed would
save the Rock Island an immense
amount OF money in making the con

The man who Wrestles with the cow
And teaches calves to suck,
Who casts the corn before the swine,
Is now in greatest luck;
For buffers on the upper grade,
Vea's higher than kite,
Pork is climbing up the scale
And beef is out of sight;
Eggs he gathers every day
From his LeghOrn chicken coop
Are almost worth their weight in gold
And We are in the soup.
His corn brings him a fancy price,
It's rising every day
He rakes in all kinds of mon.,
For half load of hay.
The farmer is in the saddle
And when he comes to town
The rest of us by right
Should go way back and sit down.

CIGARETTES AGAIN.
ovation NeWs.)

Not in a number of years have
the dangers of the cigarette habit
been brought home so forcibly to boys
as in the case of young Herbert Sc
crist, who died a victim to it at
Detroit a few days ago. His
fate was not more remarkable in any
of it's phases than that which has over
taken many another boy, but it was
given such prominence in the Detroit
papers and then in other journals that
it is being used to point a moral"
all over the country.
Briefly, and plainly, young Secrist's
heart was enlarged to several times
natural size and all the muscles were
degenerated and f1abby. The boy smok-
ed 40 to SO cigarettes a day, and in
two years he changed from a bright,
active, fun loving lad into a moping
misanthrope whose only desire was to
have a cigarette between his lips con-
stantly. Then came the day when his
heart was too heavy to act, and it
stopped beating. That is all there is
to the case, but how strong an example
it is to other lads, who, thousands of
them, are travelling the same road.
Every town has it's percentage of
boys who are cigarette fends; every
city it's army. Business men don't want
them in places of trust, for business
men know that boy who has the hab-
1t which above all others clouds the
intellect, dwarfs the body and blunts
moral responsibility, is not to be trust
ed
There is only one safe thing for a
boy to do as regards cigarettes and
that is to let them alone. If the ci-
garette habit is never formed it can
never harm.

THE LOVES OF TWO GREAT MEN.
washington Herald.)


How sweet it iS-and how grateful
We should be that it is soto enjoy
the contemplation of so rare a love as
that existing between William McKin-
ley and his wife. How restful to turn
aside from the heartaches, the pain,
the sorrow, and the shams of those
who tread the beaten paths through
primrose ways of worldly things, and
give thought to that which we know
to have been ideally pure, ennobling
and approved of the Master.
The love of William Mckinley and
his gentle helpmeet was as simple
as the sunshine of Junetime; it was
just winding of the ivy about the
Oak-an affection without an element
of unrest, of uncertainty, or of doubt.
1t is not to be told of in words-they
are such idle things at best. 1t was
love born in esteem and high regard;
it was nurtured in serenity. it was
Jeweled with the memory Of children
sacrificed to death, and it lived and
grew and broadened, and eventually
were truly one, and two hearts that
knew no separate throb.
William Mckinley, who cherished
such beautiful affection for his wife,
was the gentlest of men. Harsh words
rarely, if ever, passed his lips. He
dreaded the task that involved the
slightest possibility Of wounding a fell
low-creature's feelings. He was kind,
cOnsiderate, tactful. One would hardly
think to find a parallel to his tender
regard for his life companion in such
a man as Robert Toombs, of Georgia.
TOOmbs was many things that McKin-
ley was not. Fiery, hOt-tempered,
scornful, and utterly unmindful of the
feelings or pride of those near to him.
the Georgian was a whirlwind of pas
sion and a hurricane of crushing, bit
ing, bitter words. And yet his love
for his gentle invalid wife was ideal.
Like Mckinley, Toombs was the
lover to the very last. He was nurse
at the bedside when pain racked the
body of his dear and precious charge
Never was the day too occupied with
official duty for Toombs to take the
afternoon drive, and never lived the
footman who carried his loved one to
and from the carriage. Those who re-
member Robert Toombs in life bear in
their minds no more cherished picture
than that of the lionine Southerner car
rying his frail and fragile wife tender
ly, carefully, in his own strong arms.

And each but half concealed a sneer;

This show is made up entirely of white men, and salary is no object. There is much rivalry between these two aggrega- tions. each keeping the show up 10 the highest possible standard and each trying for the latest and best novelties for first past and olio.
