Vacation.

Vacation time approaches,
And business man and clerk
Are looking forward to the time
When they can cut out work,
When they can drop their pencils
And put their hooks away,
Close with q double lock their desks
And loaf the lIyelong day.
Far from the ci,y's voices,
Far from the smoke and crime,
With nothing In the world 10 do
But loaf md waste the time;
Away from all the extras,
The scandals OF the age
Yes, even from the sporting news
And from the market page.
They want 10 lie in comfort
Upon some grassy knoll,
With little on their bodies
And nothing on their soul,
With tan upon their faces
And haysced In their haIr,
In garments that would shock them
Most any place but there.
Yes, that or something Ike Il
Is what they want 10 do,
But likely they will miss 1t
By several and few:
They'll strike some place that's dusty
And hot. where food is shy.
And come back to the city
Fer rest and homemade pie.

Van Haltcrn has passed out Of IT, and
host Of others who helped to make
the fame of the national game, but are
now memories only might also be
mentioned.
The Southern league seems to be
almost n Mecca for these old-time
stars. For a number of years past
there has been a good sprinkling of
these old timers in the south, but
many of them have preferred TO retire
from the game rather than drop their
prestige.
Tacks PARROT, once a big league
star played this year I'm the Cotton
States league, while Big Iniun Nor
cum, at one time a prominent figure
on Washingtons lineup, did stunts
with the Augusta team in the South
Atlantic league.
II seems OF late as though many Of
these former great ones have over
come their autpathy to slower com.
pauy. at least so far as the southern
league Is concerned.

Baseball as a Business.

The annual meetings of the two
foremost baseball organizations in the
cOuntry-the American league and the
National league-were marked by ad-
dition of $4,000 a year and $4,000 to
the salaries OF their respective presi.
dents. There was no objection TO rails
ing Ban Johnson's pay from $4,000
annually to $4,000 The National
league team owners were equally
ready to give Harry Pulliam $4,000
instead of $4,000 These two incidents
show how great an institution baseball
has become simply as business In
that respect they count more than
any possible sums paid to fayorite
players. a famous athlete may get a
small fortune every year without be.
longing to any organization, though
not In baseball Public favor may
make his time as valuable as that OF
a bank president. But Johnson and
Pulham are not popular idols Few
baseball enthusiasts know either of
them by sight They are not paid
their fat salaries 10 please crowds but
purely for their work as business men
at the head of great business organi-
cations. Baseball has become busl-
ness in which millions of dollars are
invested and from which large profits
are obtained Its revenues and eN-
penses are both on a large scale. II
Is growing bigger and more important
every year in the financial and com.
mercial sense, II is a national sport
which has developed into vast bust
ness enterprise. II pays to amuse the
American people, Baseball magnates
have learned how TO make the most
of that fact Hence big salaries in the
baseball world.

How to Do library plvan.

A couch or divan in library is al
ways desirable, and if cover in soft
brown velour is used, with pillows OF
bright old orange. deep gold and the
varying shades of brown piled on in
profusion, it will be an artistic addi-
ton to the room.
The pillows, many of which should
be put on the couch, may be made OF
inexpensive pieces of denim, canvas
and burlap, any one of which comes
in tones of yellow and brown that
will be effective Just for contrast
one or two handsome cushions should
be used in the pile. A striking one
of golden silk, with deep brown ruff
fe, or finished with a cord and tassel,
would be attractive, as would be also
lemon colored silk pillow, with a
touch of old orange at the corners.
