sHADOWI.AND.

 In Shadowland are broken hearts, The tears are always falling. hidden sigh forever starts And stricken souls are calling To one another in the gloom, A gloom that knows no ending, And there's no trace of bud or bloom, A bit of color lending. In Shadowland no sound Is heard Above the sound of weeping, The raven, melancholy bird, A silent watch is keeping The ruins of many lives are there The wreck of hopes that faded And skulking victims of despair, From happiness degraded. An, stay away from Shadowland And seek the land of laughter! Our little lives are f1eeting and We face dim hereafter. Unless we laugh today we may Not have a chance tomorrow, So look for roses on the way And say goodbye to sorrow. A man has devised a way to make railroad tie out of slag. Wish he would show us how to make railroad ticket out of visiting card.

way was giving him the worst of It,
and though the official did not favor
Toronto in any way there was no rea-
son why the second baseman should
have made the show Of himself that he
did. Flood was disciplined once be-
fore by Conway, and evidently that
ranked in his mind
American officials should follow the
fashion of Canada in some aggravated
instance. If they did the few "rowdy'
players would soon become as gentle

James G. Sheckard, the famous out
fielder and heavy hitter and base steal
er, now of the Chicago National league
club, was born at Columbia, Pa, Nov.
%, 1878. He began to play ball in
1893 with amateur teams In his native
city. In 1904 he played with the Ma
riettas, of Marietta, Pa, returning
there the following season.
The team disbanded, and Sheckard
went to York, Pa, finishing the season
there. During all that time the young
player officiated as pitcher, besides
playing shortstop and the outf1eld. In
1896 the York club Joined the Pennsyl-
vania state league, but disbanded In
the spring, and Sheckard went to Ian
caster Of the same league.
The organization disbanded. and
Sheckard was transferred to Chambers
burg, Pa, where his arm was injured,
and he stopped pitching and covered
the outfield regularly. After three
weeks the Chambersburg team dis
banded. and Sheckard went to the
Portsmouth club of the Virginia league,
where he finished the season. He was
drafted by Brockton In 1897 and i'm
mediately attracted attention by his
batting.
Several league clubs tried to secure
his services, but Brooklyn purchased
his release before the New England
league championship was ended
He soon became a star with Brook
Ign and remained with that club until
the fall of 1905. when he was traded to
Chicago, with which team he has since
played as an outfielder.
Sheckard is one of the best base
stealers in the country.

FAMOUS ARCHERS.
Stories Of Wonderful Skill With Bow
and Arrow.

Stories Of Wonderful Skill With Bow
and Arrow.
The expression drawing a long bow"
does not of necessity mean the telling
of a falsehood. 1t sometimes refers to
wonderful, story, which may be true
enough, but which Is so marvellous as
to require firm trust In the veracity
Of the narrator to enable the hearer to
believe 1t. Some of the longest bows
of this sort have been drawn about
bows and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Virgil
In the "EneiG" tells of four archers
who were shooting for a prize, the
mark being a pigeon tied by cord to
the mast of ship. The first man hit
the mast, the second cut the cord, and
the third shot the pigeon as it few
away. The fourth archer, having moth
Ing left to shoot, drew his bow and
sent his arrow flying toward the sky
with such speed that the friction of the
air set the feathers on fire, and it
swept on, like meteor, to disappear
in the clouds.
The stories told of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley in SCOTS
"Ivanhoe," are also a decided strain
upon sensible persons credulity. The
famous story of William Tell, doubted
by many persons, is believed by others
to have a foundation of fact There
was Dane named Foke of whom the
same story is told, and William of
Cloudesley, an Englishman, is said to
have shot an apple from his sons head
merely to show his experiences.
Most stories of bows and arrows re-
late to the accurate aim of the archers.
but Frenchman, Blaise de Vigenere,
tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which an arrow may be
propelled IL the bow be strong and long
enough. According to his own ac-
count of the matter, he saw Barbaros-
sa, Turk, admiral Of ship called the
Grand SOlyman, send an arrow from
his bow right through a cannon ball.

the major portion of its luxurles.
