Travellers who enter Shrewsbury BY
the Abbey Foregate station can scarce.
y fail TO observe one OF the most re-
markable features to be seen at any
railroad station In the world, says
London Tit-Bits. This is a pulpit. It
stands prominently above the coal
wagons and miscellaneous goods
trucks of the station yard. an ancient
stone structure, to which access is
gained by an equally ancient flight Of
stone steps This pulpit is the only re-
naming fragment of the domestic
buildings of the once great and pow
erful abbey OF Shrewsbury.
In the olden days 1t stood in the
monks refectory and was used for
preaching from and for reading the
lessons while the monks ate their
frugal meals.

Il am glad you cIothiers now adver-

the cutting-down OF the fathers clothes

You have educated our little boys
to dress and few of them could bear
to wear now their fathers garments
made over by their mothers awkward
hands.
1T was not always so. | remember
how. in the distant past, my little
brother rushed whimpering into my
room one night.

beard shaved OFF, and now guess
I've got to wear the old red thing!"

Advice to Employees.

A railroad has requested its en-
ployes to be guided by the following
rules, which might be written deep
in the minds of all wage earners:
Courtesy is not only something the
public has a right to expect Of you, but
it pays; 1t pays in the friends II makes
you personally and as a representative
Of the company; It pays In minimizing
the friction OF your life, as well as
that between the company and its
patrons; it pays in raising your stand.
ing with the company; II pays in the
personal satisfaction resulting from
having done the right and kindly thing
by your neighbor"

Prof A. Herschel. in the Quarterly
Journal of the Royal Meteorological So,
ciety for October last, describes the
extraordinary effects produced by
lightning in the midst of an open moor
in Northumberland. A hole four or
five feet in diameter was made in the
fat, peaty ground. and from this half
dozen burrows extended on all sides.
Pieces of turf were thrown in various
directions, one three feet In diameter
and a foot thick having fallen IS feet
from the hole. Investigation showed
that in addition to the effects visible
on the surface. small holes had been
bored in the earth radiating from the
large excavation.

In San Francisco the campaign
against rats, as spreaders Of the

topic has reached even the children.

Our own problem looks exceptional
to us. but It is not. The next man
we meet has an equally hard sum on
his slate and is working it cut or Civ
ing it up. quite in our cwn fashion.
We think, perhaps, that riches would
solve our dificulty for us In no time,
or pleasure would soften it, or change
would substitute an easier enc. But
in reality there is only one rule by
which to work it out-the rule Of
character.

A large crowd gathered al
Brandt's park Wednesday after
noon to see the business and
professional men of the city play
ball. If you were not there you
missed one of the "fun and anus
ment" events of the season.
There was fun-de ad loads of fun
fun from start to finish. You
3 hould have seen Sam Nowlin run
bases; DR.. Owings try to stop a
ball; Sheriff Earnest hit em-he
hit em hard too-sent the fielders
to the tall grass every time.
Newt Mallerson distinguished
himself al the fielder, who laid on
the grass and to the supreme sur
prise of all waking up long
enough to catch high fly. Cason
tried to pitch but gave it up as
bad job and Artie Barnes took
his place and bluffed his way
through the game. Judge Ellis
was stationed behind the bat
occa sionly he did catch a ball.
Floyd Kidwell danced on one leg
and pretended to pitch "swift
ball. O'Donnell, the butcher,
distinguished himself by being
the only man in either team, who
wore a uniform. G. X. Sheets
took the game seriously and play
e d as good ball as he could. Will
Hass played somewhere in the
fie Id, nobody could tell just where
and you should have seen him
throw a ball and run bases, his
playing was worth the price of
a Omission. Everett Barton play
ed around third base and when
he was lucky he caught the ball.
Shackelford umpired and if he
knew anything about the game he
failed to show 1t. The gsnc con-
sumed the entire afternooli and
was more fun than a moving pic
ture show every minute of the
time. The score was II to t6 in
favor of the elias Beens" and the
writer OF this article knows no
more sbout the game than did the
players.
