There is certain man living not
far from New York whose temper is
not of the longest, and when he feels
that his rage is justifiable he is very
apt to indulge in fluent, versatile and
varied profanity.
And it is when using the telephone
that this talent of his is seen and
heard at its maximum of speed and
endurance. Central has but to say

One day he had been having an I'M
usually stormy session, and did not
notice that his twoyear-old son was
sitting in a corner of the room, his
face rapt and absorbed. A few hours
later the child's mother came in and
was Mortified beyond wo"ls to hear
her baby giving voice to stream Of
explosives, some of which began with
a very large capital D-the rest with
a variety of letters quite unmention-

upon him in righteous wrath.

AN A. vERTlSiNo TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on a
farmer and makes a bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named If the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent" promises orally that the adj
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
ton is not contained in a contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy Of
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one of them gave up $500. Others de-
clare holly that they will not pay but
they will make fight in the courts.

stories, including the Masque OF the

aware of a sound as If some one was

wonderfully sweet and gentle. Ii was

"And you know, Frank, that it was

was suddenly borne upon me that |

to me from another world. Up to
that time / felt no alarm, but now
felt my hair commence to rise. All
at once my gaze became riveted on

THE only one who could be in any

During the day l did little quiet

relating to Edward Duval that did not

present time he was infatuated with
Fanny Davidson, burlesque actress.

and we were soon seated in the
library discussing the strange affair

there had depressing effect upon us.
Suddenly q woman's voice-one Of the

The song was a sentimental one and

In a moment | had screwed in an
other globe that | had brought with
me. Instantly the song was renewed
with all it's original power and sweet
ness. John had sunk back in his
chair. Even my nerves were shaken.
Suddenly the voice ceased, only to
begin again. And it called John by
name to the unknown, and it prom
ised the delights of paradise if he
needed the call.
With wild cry John sprang to his
feet and dashed to the door. His wild
light broke over me. With one

President Garry Hermann of the ma
tional commission, when he heard of
the proposed change. said: Such a
thing would be impossible. Umpires
cannot manufacture hits. 1t is not up
to him to make hits for the players.
They must do that themselves.
Instead of thinking about changing
that rule the owners who are consid-

and tell their players not to overlook
the fine points of the game.
THAT rule is as necessary as any in
the book and it should not be changed.

CUBS AFTER MORE PAY.
Champions Follow in Managers Foot
steps in Demanding Higher
Salaries.

Manager Chance isn't the only one
of the Cubs insisting on more pay for
his next seasons work. All of the
champs are after higher stipends, hot
and heavy.
Unless the ante is raised in the case
of Mordecai Brown and Orvall Over
all, the two star pitchers of the team,
they are pretty certain not to play.
Brown has been offered $4,000 by Tom
Keelin, the proprietor of the West End
semi-pro club, to take charge of that
team and manage it's affairs, just as
James Callahan handles the Logan
Squares.
The whole wad will be in the bank
for Brown any time he will consent to
sign. To pay such sum might be a
bold business move, but a celebrity
like Brown probably could draw a lot
full of people every Saturday and Sun
day. AS other expenses would be
trivial, a club with Brown at the head
of it might be financial winner as
well as an artistic success. Practically
the same kind of an inducement has
been held out to Overall, and the popu.
larity of the big Californian undoubted-
ly would make him a whale of a draw
ing card and a money-maker.
