Abraham White, the chief promoter Of

Pacific on a per cent dividend basis
and raising the Union Pacific rate from

on the bull side of the market in a
Broadway brokerage house. He began

nearer the real figure He made enough

Easy street. for a while and TO start
him building more air castles. One of
these air castles became a reality.
White heard that the famous John A.
Mccall country mansion at Long
Branch. n. j.. could be bought at a
bargain. He drew down a big share Of
his Union Pacific profits and bought the
magnificent country seat
Again Mr.. Whites luck was with him
Other wealthy and sagacious men had

eyes on the Mccall house, waiting only
for a lucky stroke in the market 10 en-

Mr.. White. as usual, was early on the

pleasantly impressed with the place. SO

BY BOOK CANVASSING

have seen a green, diffident. awk-
ward college student, right from the
farm. so completely changed by his
experiences in book canvaSSing during
the vacation following his freshman
year that you would scarcely have rec

surance had taken the place of umidity
and self-consciousness. his canvassing
tour had proved a tour OF Seif-discovery.
He had developed initiative, ana the
very discovery that he could sell some
thing had increased his faith In him

His experiences had taught him a
great deal about human nature. He
had found that every person must be
approached in a different way, from a
different avenue: that what would con-
vince one person might not have any
influence on another. So he mad been

There Is no leaning here, no depending

GOT ANGRY AND QUIT
WHEN HE WAS FIRED

In the somber fabric Of the business
world who is il strikes the pleasing
note of color-the stenographer? Nope.
It's the office-boy. He Is the uncon-
scious comedian of the mercantile seen
ario. The humorous journals are filled
with his doings, and he figures prOmi-
nently in the obituary columns Of the
morning papers. Rarely does success
ful merchant die but what. among
other life secrets. 1t is disclosed that
ne commenced work as an office boy,
and II is a fact that the ranks OF the
millionaires are recruited more often
from the humble bench in the outer
Office than from the halls OF learning
this last a euphimism for colleges.
The writer at various times has at
tempted 10 eXtract-thatS the word

tered a confession Of their secret ambi-
tons. with such responses as "Aw, cut

ecutive offices OF a railroad was more
communicative.
I usetar tink I'd Ike ter be an en-
gtneer,'' he said: den / fought I'd like
ter be brakeman: but now I'm gettin'
so gosh blame lazy dat l guess I'll be
a station agent"
1t seems to the writer that the ma
Jority OF office boys feel keenly the re-
sponsibility Of their exalted dCstinies,
and resent accordingly any attempt to
put them on record in a fashion that
might mar the biography of a captain

There Is every evidence that we were
intended for fun; that humOr and play
were to have a great part in our exist

all wrong. They come from unnatural,
abnormal living. To thousands of people

GROWTH OF STRATEGY
IN MODERN BASEBALL

The strategy OF the national game has
advanced wonderfully. The Baltimore
team of the National League was the
pioneer in this development, and Ned
Hanlon, at one time a great player HIM
self. was the directing genius. The bat
ting problem was responsible for the APP
plication of headwork to baseball. OPP
posing pitchers were far too effective;
Baltimore was not a heavy batting team,
and some plan had to be devised To get
men around the bases. No one hears
now of the pitchers of the champions Of
1885, 1895 and 1896. The club had a great
catcher IN Robinson, who is no longer
in the game. But the fielding of the
team-who will forget t.? Such dash has
never since been shown, and it was
worth the price of admission 10 see the
team practice Then the little fellows
were quick thinkers and heady batters.
In the outield were Kelley, who has just
red from Cincinnati, ard the great
Keller, now of the New York Highland
ers: at short, there was Jennings, who
is now managing the Detroit Americans.
and at third base was McGraw, who has
made the New York Giants the wonder
of the East and the fear of the West in
the National League.
The Baltimore team developed the
blunt which is a mere tap of the ball,
rolling il preferably toward third base,
but at a slow pace which makes quick
and accurate handling imperative. The
bunt Is much used now to advance run
ners a base; in fact, so common has II
become and so well is 1t executed. that
Il batsman is called out when he at
tempts to bunt on the third strike The
Baltimore batsman used it-and Ii is
thus used today-not only to sacrifice a
base runner from first to second or from
/ second to third but for the purpose OF
putting himself on base This he did by
starting almost before hitting the bali
and thus beating out the throw. The
| play can be made on a big pitcher who
is slow in his movements 1t once won
crucial game for the Baltimores over
Amos Rusie. then the most feared
! pitcher in the ague.-Success.
