Keep Straight Ahead.

Pay no attention to SANDER
or gossip-mongers. Keep
straight on in your course,
and let their backbitings die
the death of neglect. What
is the use of lying awake
nights brooding over the re-
marks of some false friend
that run through your brain
like forked lightning? What's
the use of getting into a worry
and fret over gossip that has
been set afoat to your disad-
vantageeby some meddlesome
busybody, who has more time
than character. These things
can't possibly injure you, un-
less indeed, you take notice
of them and in combating
them give them character
and standing. If what is
said about you is true, set
yourself right at once; if it is
false, let it go for what it will
fetch. If a bee stings you
would you go to the hive and
destroy it? Would not a
thousand come upon you?
is wisdom to say little re-
speeding the injuries you have
received. We are generally
losers in the end if we stop
to refute all the backbitings
and gossipings we may hear
by the way. They are annoy
ing. it is true, but not dan
gerous SO long as we do rot
stop to expostulate and scold.
Our characters are formed
and sustained by ourselves
and by our own actions and
purposes, and not by others.
Let us always bear in mind
that calumniators may usually
be trusted to time and the
slow but steady justice of
public opinion.

Two Paths in Life.

ludll dllu young woman VINO
reads this department are
two paths leading into the
future, and it is for them to
select which path they will
journey IL. To aid them in
selecting are their neighbors,
some of whom in early life Sc
lected one path and others
the opposite. The neighbor
who made the wise choice
can be seen returning to his
home for the evening meal,
his face radiant with Joy as
the children meet him at the
gate, each one endeavoring
to get the first kiss. The
other neio hbor goes home
through the alley, his step is
unsteady, his face flushed
from dissipation. the children
fee to the mother as he APP
proaches. These two neigh
bors had an equal start upon
llfe's voyage. the difference
now SO plainly visible is
caused by the paths they Sc
lected to travel in at the be-
ginning of the journey. A
few years of training in our
schools upon the one hand ,
or on the streets upon the
other hand, will make all the
difference you see in the
neighbors. A youth of study
and training in a few ears
moulds lineaments of the face
into the resemblance of the
the first picture of manhood,
while by a law equally in
evitable, idleness and dissipa-
ton bring out all the lower
animal faculties, which re-,
veal themselves in the de-
pressed forehead, the hard
eyebrow, the course mouth
SO plainly developed in the
man who chose the wrong
path. The boy who selects
the wrong path soon becomes
a rowdy and blackleg and if
he escapes the prison and the
gallows and reaches the mid
day of life we find him a
drunken loafer, sneaking
around the gorgshop in hope
of securing a treat from some
one who knew him in his flush
days, while he who has
chosen the other path, as he
passes the ''mid-journey of
lifeo1 and slowly decends the
slope towards age, grows
daily richer in the love and
esteem of those. around him;
and in the bosom of the family
that gathers about his hearth,
lives over again his happy
youth and earnest manhood.
What a different picture is
presented in the fate of him
who has chosen the return
less downward path. The
shadows deepen as he decends
the hill of life. He has been
successfully useless, a jest
and a burden to society and
when he dies there is not a
soul to wish his life had been
prolonged. Two lives like
these lie in possibility en-
folded within every infant
born into the world. Let
every young person who
reads this department study
we'll the pen painting of these
TWO lives and select the right
oath upon which to start upon
-ife's journey.

much work and no more. and when
you overload it. or when you eat the
wrong kind of food, the digestive
organs cannot possibly do the work

In q moment Of weakness, while on his

had been a ball player. II played on an
amateur team In Rochester" said Silk,
"and my position was left field. I'm not a

But at batting l was frost. Jack Town

just about as / did Well. we were playing
a hot match at Silver Lake, near Rochester,
one day and I had my accustomed place
In the batting order, right above the pitcher.
In the ninth we got two men on base, one
out and me up. We had only one utility
hitter and the manager, after thinking for
a long time. decided to send me up and let
the extra man bat for the pitcher. Strike
out says he, and thus avoid double
play That made me sOre and l went up
to the plate blind with determination. The
FIRST ball that came up i shut my eyes at

the club are really caring whether you win

We were In the east under Bill Armour In
his first year at Detroit and our pitchers
were rather used up. 1 pitched two games
in three days at Boston and we moved on
to Philadelphia. There Harry Davis gave
me a chance to go up in the state and
earn some easy money pitching a bush
game. and quietly ducked out. pitched 1t
the next day. and reported on the morrow
at the grounds to Armour. I expected q
call-down and deserved II, but imagine my
surprise when Armour only gave me a sour
look and told me to go in and pitch. I had
worked three games In four days then and
was some tired There was nothing to do
but work. though. SO In I went. But In
some way the news of the situation had
come to the ears Of the other boys and the

ones could get out on the lines when we
were at bat. and the staid citizens of Phila-

Or course, the Athletics kept hitting me, but
the boys kept the score down, and when

DUBUQUE. Iowa. February 4.-Although
only twenty-five years old. Mrs. r. Kimbel
who until few days ago was Miss Eliza
beth Blschof, has a family OF twenty
seven children and forty-two grandchildren
She acquired this family by her marriage
to Capt r. Kimbel at Keller, Wis. The
young bride. who has been famed for her
beauty among upper Mississippi river men,
has turned away many young wooers who
came from far and near. after hearing tales
Of her beauty, to tell her Of their love and
to offer heart and hand.
Captain Kimbel, though handicapped by
nearly seventy years. led her to the altar.
He had three wives before he won Miss
Bischon. His family accumulated as he
married widows with children.
In marrying Capt. Kimbei Miss Bischoff
became the wife of one Of the wealthIest
and best known river men. In his three
score years the captain has lived through
many adventures. the telling of which

pride.
AS a ishermans daughter, the bride has

UMPlRES TO
SIGNAL DECISIONS

The movement for a system of signals
to Indicate an umpire's decisions during q
base ball game seems to be spreading, and
the Indications are that all the important
leagues will adopt some such system be-
fore another playing season arrives. An
nouncement OF the willingness of the Ameri-
can League to adopt the suggestion al
ready has been made. Several club own
ers of the National League have urged the
adoption of a similar policy by it's umpires
next season, and the American Associa-
tion's executive has announced that he will
instruct his stan of umpires to signal their
decisions on balls and strikes" so as to
make them ineligible to the patrons be-
yond the reach of the umpires' voices
These are the leading three organizations
of the country, and their example Is likely
TO be followed by all the minors eventually
In some of the smaller circuits, however
only occasionally are the crowds attracted
so large as to make the voice OF the UNI
pire inaudible. The system proposed IL to
have umpires indicate the decisions regard

right or left hand, these motions to be
somewhat nearly uniform, as is the case

NEW YORK, February 4-Howard p.
rockingham. who, while delirious from q
nervous breakdown. jumped from the Sec
ond story Of his home on West 77th street
yesterday. died just before midnight last
night. The fatal outcome was not reported
to the police until yesterday, when the
coroner instituted an investigation.
Nervous strain, due to recent reverses in
Wall street, Is believed to have caused the
dependency which resulted in the deed.
Mr.. rockingham was one of the best
known men in the financial district
He had passed his forty-fifth birthday and
was q native Of New York. He was prob
ably the biggest and best-known loan bro
ker In the country, lending more "call''
money annually than any other man or
firm. He handled money Tor nearly all the
largest financial institutions and his &C.
quaintance in that line was almost uni
versal.
His patronage was very large, and his
commissions in the lending business alone
are said to have amounted to more than
100000 year. For sixteen years he was q
member of the New York Stock Exchange,
but he found lending more profitable than
brokerage and devoted his time almost en-
tirely to 1t.
