TRIBUTE TO ANS0N.
Clarke Grimth Says Former Chicago
Star Was a Great Manager.

StaF was a GrenT manager
"Old Pop Arson was a great ball player
in hts day, and one OF the greatest mana
gers the game ever knew" says Clarke
Griffith. HE is out now-out for good
but his name will last and be remembered
when others are forgotten. He was as
honest as the day, and I never knew
him to turn trick that wasn't right
odd Pop was a hitter, too. The way
that fellow lined up against high ball
was sin, and I've seen him smash 'em
time and again all over the lot just as
long as they kept 'em around his neck
it was all off He was better when two
strikes had been called on him than any
other time. Why. I've seen him walk
TO the plate and let the first two balls
come right across the center and never
move. Line this one out, Pop we would
tell him. But unless il came where he
wanted It, Pop wouldn't move his bat; and
that's where he made great hitter OF
himself. He waited until he got one
where he wanted II, and then-good-by.

AN EXTINCT ANIMAL.
The Saber TOOthed Tiger Was

The Saber TOOthed Tiger Was
Formidable Creature.
The most remarkable of all the ex-
to naturalists as the saber toothed cats
or tigers, a group comprising the
greater part of all the fossil forms.
They date back to the earliest times of
which we know anything about the
family in North America and reach
down to the time of man himself. A
large and powerful species described
from the Indian Territory by Cope
lived contemporaenously with the hairy
mammoth, as evidenced by the COM
mingling of their skeletons There can
be little or no question but that the
hairy mammoth was contemporaneous
with man in North America as well
as In Europe. Its geological range is
from the close Of the eocene to the lat
ter part Of the pleistocene.
The chief popularity of the animal
is the extraordinary elongated canine
teeth. The tail is of unusual length
and the legs are short The animal
measures about seven feet In length
aside from the tail. The lower jaws
have a downward projection In front,
due TO fiangelike widening of the
jawbones, which doubtless served as
protection to the teeth, preventing their
injury or loss. In some of the larger
forms from South America this fange
was not present while the canine
teeth were even more elongated than
is the case with this species, attaining
length of over six inches and pro-
truding far below the jaws when
closed.

1t worth while to mention that the

Our exports are increasing at great
rate, while our imports are proportion
ately decreasing. Yet we are in the
midst of the worst panic the country
has experienced since 1878, when spu-
rious Republican prosperity collapsed
by reason of It's inherent rottenness.
Republicans are crying for imitation, for
credit currency" for asset currency"
for "shinplaster currency" for the de-
posit of government money in banks.
But all these would only make matters
worse. The gold standard is seriously
threatened. Gold and currency have
been at a large premium, specie pay
ments have virtually been suspended.
Practically, the government and the
banks have become bankrupt. Thou
sands of workmen have been thrown
out of employment. There Is no such
thing as real confidence in business or
politics. And this Is the end of Repub-
lican prosperity" which has ever been
a mere fake, except to the few. Quack-
cry is always the worst possible treat
ment Important financiers like Jacob
H. Schiff realize this, and warn their
friends of the dreadful times ahead.
Schiff, who is Jewish philanthropist,
and the head of the great international
banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
made a speech recently in which he
said:
There can be little doubt that the
coming winter is going to bring great
disaster to many of those near US,
many of respectable and honest appear
ance. who have always managed to
support themselves, but who have how
cred on tie border line between support
and non-support. who can lay nothing
aside because their means do not al
low, for all their earnings are neces-
sary to show dignified and respect
able front to the world"
Schiff Is not calamity bowler. He
is not a politician. He was talking
to his own people, and urging them to
prepare for the long winter which they
must spend in poverty, resulting from
enforced idleness and bankruptcy. The
truth is always patriotic as well as
philanthropic.

THEIR BRAND OF TEA.


"The cup that cheers. but not inebrl-

The recent death of Miss Julia Bry-

Bryant, has called forth a number of
"reminiscences of the poet and his fam
aly. Although always kindly, Bryant

he could unbend with his children and
their intimate friends he could occa-
