In one of the greatest finisd"s seen
in the Connecticut league. Captain
Jack Tighe for the second time las
landed the $25 pennant which repre-
sents the goal of the seasons eff It.
In doing so the Norwich captain has
made record that perhaps has never
been equalled in the ranks of profess
sional baseball. Starting out with a
selection of - men he has played ne
entire season with exactly the same
men and playing in exactly the same
positions as when they started. There
is no record of constant releasing and
shifting of players to strengthen up.
but trotting level the whole course and
playing the most consistent ball of any
team in the league. the Norwich team
has come down the homestretch with
colors flying, in spite of the deter

everyone of its seven opponents.
But four times during the year
have we failed to finish the week in
the lead, twice surrendering the horror

New York. Jan. 9.-The bigges,
gathering OF baseball men in many a

,~oterday when the minor leagues or
Eanization. officially known as the Ma

clubs. held its annual meeting. The
corridors of the hotel were crowded

was held was filed to overlooking.
The chief business of the day con
sisted in admitting the Tri-State league

Bingham established a record for the
distance between ST Louis and New
York. The ground was covered in 81
hours, TO do which an average speed
of 50 miles an hour was maintained.
While on long Journeys Miss Bingham
employs a professional chauffeur: she

During the present tour of THE Lilac
Room Miss Bingham has left a city
coincident with the departure of the
train carrying the remainder of her
company and arrived first in the city

YOUTH AND AGE,

How bravely now face the marching

With youths strong armor to defy

Naught 1 now know of the sharp
sting of tears,
Nor of the bleak and solitary ways
Where Sorrow calls her children.
Naught dlsmays

Like some far distant prospect with

Youth, youth is mine, and youths

But when the twilight shall at length

And I have neared the shadowy

How will it be Shall the night over

My soul, and shall my sword have soft

Back to its scabbard? Nay, when
Youth has died,
Old Age shall take me tenderly at

l have been asked to explain why it is
that so many people with no visible
means of support have from six to a
dozen children while many rolling in
riches have none at all. The SUPPOSE
ton that the Man About Town knows
next to everything is very hattering
and / am flattered to the extent of
endeavorlng to throw a little light on
a vexed question.
First reason: From the viewpoint of
happiness, seeking happiness, millions
marry without a bank account or pros
poets, foolshly If you like, and find
themselves wholesale fathers and bank
rupts. The man with money in his
mind seeks a fortune first and then
wants more; getting a fortune he goes
the pace while increasing it, lives high,
marries late and for position rather
than for progeny-and there you are
and there he isn't.
Second dig: The poverty pinched chap
is often unsophisticated in the matter
of advanced ideas of convenience, in
other words he doesn't know any bet
ter, leaves such matters to nature or
luck or, if he is religious, to Providence
which, being no respector of persons,
gets the better of him. The rich fell
low is often too busy getting his name
in print to bother about perpetuating it
and his wife has social duties not con-
sistent with musings.
Third and last crack: If the poor
didn't multiply who'd pay the taxes?
If the Millionaire had too many heirs
his moneyd go too quick. Eth!

OF course those who know me will
understand that I was not present

occurred. Why? Because it occurred
at a hula. Some visitors were here
very recently and they expressed a
desire to see a native hula. The dance
was arranged During the progress
of the dance the usual josh on the
malihini was given. One of the little
dancers proceeded to stand very close
to an interested spectator and perform
the native dance to his evident en-
barrassment and the manifested amuse-
ment of his companions. Even his wife
had to laugh, and to further add to
his discomfort she leaned over to him
and said: Honey does 1 lose you"
That broke up the hula.
