THE GLOUCESTER MOTHER.

When autumn winds are high
They wake and trouble me,
With thoughts Of people lost
A-coming on the coast
And all the ships at sea.
How dark, how dark and cold,
And fearful in the waves,
Are tired folk who lie not still
And quiet in their graves;
In moving waters deep.
That will not let men sleep
As they may sleep on any hill;
May sleep ashore till time is old,
And all the earth Is frosty cold.
Under the flowers a thousand
springs
They sleep and dream of many
things.
God bless them all who die at
sea-!
If they must sleep in restless
waves.
God make them dream they are
ashore,
With grass above their graves.

With the big baseball leagues now
hard at work for the top rung Of the
ladder, each and every club has its IA
vorite player. heavy hitter or star

Looking over the big league timber
for an all star club, the following team
looks as If 1t could make runaway
of any pennant race If ever corralled
into one club:

OF course It is impossible to purchase
the players mentioned, but II they
were on the market 1t Is a cinch that
$250,000 would be insufficient to pur-
chase the stars on the list.
Take the pitchers. OF the four,
Mathewson and Mordecai Brown, the
Chicago veteran who has stood among
the first pitchers Of the game for many
years, stand out the brightest. Fifteen
thousand dollars would be instantly
turned down for each release. Next
comes "Wild Bill' Donovan, the ia
nous Detroit twirler. An offer OF $12,
600 for his services would resound or
the desert air. Then comes the mosl
wonderful pitcher the game knows
the erratic Rube Waddell. Notwith'
standing the fact that the wild and
woolly boy was purchased in the sprinG
of 1908 for $1,000, it's home runs to
foul tips that McAleer would laugh at
IN offer Of $4,000 for the eccentric
box artist.
Then the two catchers. Opinion Is
divided as to which of the pair has the
call on the title Of "king Of the mask
and nit" Some think Bresnahan the
better receiver, but there is not one
who will dispute the greatness Of
Johnny King as general behind the
willow. It's an ace In the hole snap

this afternoon on special train

his early appearance on lower Broad
way ought to be signal for the
most rampant bull market that ever
delighted the spectators on the long
side. For Hartman is a picture of
health, bronzed by the suns of Klam-
ath. and the flushed health that
comes from the care-free outdoor
lie he has been leading.
Hartman is usually credited with
talking straight from the shoulder
when he wants to talk, but it is evil
dent today that he did not want to
talk on the subject which the public
like to have his views. He would
not talk on the subjects which the
public like to have his views. He
would not talk politics, and said but
little about the financial question He
fought shy OF any discussion for pub
lication, or Of affairs of national i'm
portance. He did however talk freely
of the object of his visit to the Pacific
Northwest.
For the Pacific Northwest Mr..
Hartman has many projects under
consideration. These propects in

of money and the details Of expendi-

worked out. Mr.. Hartman has plac-

At first base Fred Tenny has the

Lajoie, the great Napoleon, though

President Johnson already has signed

Photography and the Moon,

1t has been observed that on ac-
count of the absence of an atmos-
phere on the moon, and the conse-
quent lack of graduation in shadows,
the eye of the observer is seriously
misled in Judging the actual relief of
objects forming the lunar landscapes.
Professor Prinz, of Brussels, has
recently developed a method of
avoiding this difficulty, and of seeing
the craters and other details on the
moon in their natural proportions,
taking advantage of the fact that as
the moon travels round the earth the
eccentricity of its orbit produces the
effect of a slow libration, OF balanc-
ing to and fro, which causes its face
to be inclined now a little one way
and then little the other way.
Professor Prinz makes two photo
graphs of the lunar object to be stu
died. at opposite points in the libra
ton, and then combines them in a
stereoscope, whereupon the object
stands forth In full relief. This prin-
ciple has hitherto been applied only
to photographs of the moon as a
whole, and not to particular craters
or regions.

Just as she was STOPPING to gather

Just as she was STOPPING to gather
some of the finest flowers she heard
step behind her, and, looking
around, beheld a tall, handsome
young chap of about seventeen years
of age. A smile fitted over Estelle's
face as she rose and bowed low to
the stranger. "Ah, do you wish a

knowing that the youth was her Sec

and long train ride.
with pleasure" smiled Frank,
reaching for the blossoms. "And
whom have I the pleasure Of thank
ing for these?" he asked.
"Oh, Mrs. Browns cook" said
Estelle, dropping her face to hide
the look of mischief lurking there.
"Ah-h-hl" And Frank fairly
gasped. "Why, are you-you-a-
A."
Eyes, a cook, and you shall SAM
pie my dinner in five minutes" de-
clared Estelle, land beg your par
don, sir, for being so bold as to speak
to you; but I think you are one of
the newly arrived guests, aren't
you?"
And then she tripped away,
going into the kitchen and closing
the door behind her, leaving Frank
looking after her in amazement.
"Whew! If she's a cook! Well, I'll
eat my hat! She's as pretty as a
blossom-and such manners and Ian
guage and voice! Why, I'd swear
she was born lady"
Then he returned to the house and
all went into the dining room, where
Estelle, shorn of the big kitchen
apron and her face blushing and
smiling, received them and was in
troduced to Uncle Ned and Frank.
"Cooki1 And Frank took both

knew there was mistake some-

No, just good Joke" laughed
Estelle. And then as they all en-
joyed the delightful dinner Mrs.
Brown explained their dilemma re-
garding their cook, saying: "And It
is Estelle's own, dinner, planned and
prepared by herself that you now
have before you"
"Ah, wonderful" cried Uncle Ned.

rival"
If you'd caught her as I did
back in the garden" said Frank,
knowingly, you'd have seen her in
her kitchen regalia. And it's aw-
fully becoming, too"
You'd best pay attention to your
grape fruit, sir" said Estelle with
mock gravity. And as for kitchen
regalia-well, how do you like firt-
ing with the cook?"
Then the laugh was at Franks ex-
pense, his father saying dryly:
"I'll have to keep a watchful eye
on you, Frank, if you're given to
visiting the little cooks flower gar
den. Next thing we'll have you ask
ing her to take stroll with you
through the park, eh?"
And so Estelle saved the day, and
the dinner and the visit were a de-
cided success, and Frank at parting
said, bending over her pretty hand:
Cousin, what would you think If l
should tell you that should love to
correspond with cook-lady?"
In order to get all her secret
recipes for dainty dishes, I presume {"
retorted Estelle. And again Frank

"Then we'll dine at exactly g."
said Estelle. IAN early hour, but it

ing that load had been lifted from
her shoulders by this dear fourteen
year-old daughter. But you said
we have a cook and cooks assist
ant, dear. Pray, who are they?"
I'm the cook, mamma, and you're
the assistant" smiled Estelle. TO
morrow is to be my day in the
kitchen, and l shall be all rested be-
fore the company arrives, too. The
dinner will be ready for the cooking
before they come, and all I'll have
to do is to put 1t in and on the stove
and let the heat do the rest"
i've spent the day laundering
some napkins, our best table cloth
and going all over the china and
silver" explained the mother, catch
ing some of Estelle's enthusiasm.
The next day Mrs. Brown found
just how capable Estelle was in an
emergency. The guests arrived on
time and found Mrs. Brown in a
dainty frock waiting to receive them
in the parlV. Estelle had decided
she would not appear on the scene,
as she put it, till the dinner was
served. Then she'd meet Uncle Ned
and Frank at table.
After everything was il readiness,
even the ice cream packed in ice in
the cellar. Estelle ran out on the
back porch to cool her face a bit
before calling the guests to dinner.
The flower beds in the rear yard
were still In bloom, untouched by
frost as yet. and Estelle decided to
gather another handful Of posies for
