DAVIS FOR HAL CHASE.
Latest Startling Remor in the Baseball
Circles

Philadelphia, Sept. 1O.-Harry Da-
Wis for Hal Chase is the latest sensa-
tonal rumor in baseball circles. This
deal has been brewing since last
spring, when it was first announced in
these columns. But at that time the
New York club was probably afraid
on account of public sentiment to
make the trade. The refusal of Chase
to continue with the Highlanders,- and
his threat to join the California out
laws, has opened a way for New York
to make the trade without gaining the
diSpleaSure of the New York patrons.
President Farrell of the New York;
club, has been anxious to secure Davis
for manager for a long time. and it is
believed that the deal will be consum-
mated.
Chase is easily the star first base
man of the American league, and will
prove a. tower of strength to the Ath-
letic team if secured.
Connie Mack late last night denied
that he was about to trade Davis for

The Pouch Pocket.

Most women are in the habit
of using the front of shirt waist to
hold the handkerchief and often some
trivial article which is inconvenient
to carry. When the waist buttons
down the back the absence Of the
pocket is more than noticeable. Now
one can purchase a shirtwaist which
buttons down the back. In the front is
a plat and it conceals a neat opening
low on the front through which the
Ind can be thrust and the difficulty
of carrying small articles is overcome.
The opening is bound with a tape Or
finished with g. buttonhole stitch.
One can buy small pocket which
is handy while shopping, since it holds
small articles one does not care to
carry in the hands. The pocket is
moderately large and furnished with
clasps which makes it esq to attach
to the petticoat.

ORGAN WORKED TOO HARD.

In a small church at little village
near Brighton, where the congrega-
ton could not afford to pay an organ
ist, they recently bought a self-actirg
organ, compact instrument, WI
suited to the purpose, and constructed
to play 40 tunes. The sexton mad
instructions how to set it going and
how to stop it; but, unfortunately,
he forgot the latter part of his basi-
ness, and after singing the first four
verses of a hymn before the sermon
the organ could not be stopped and
1t continued playing two verses more;
then, just as the clergyman completed
the words, Let us pray" the organ
clicked and started a fresh tune. The
sexton and others continued their
exertions to stop it, but no one could
find the spring, 50 they got four OF
the stoutest men 10 shoulder the per
verse instrument and carry it out IN
the churchyard where t continued
clicking and playing until the whole
40 tunes were finished -Tit-Bits.

The American seauty's Defects.

If We were to find particular fault
with our American beauties dominant
in the public eye today, it would be
their lack Of facial strength, the alb
sence of soul quality which our siren
uous national life and feverish ambi-
lions tend to nullify if not annihilate.
The nobility of countenance, the calm,
pure, steadfast expressions seen in
the faces of the great sculptures
might well be epulated by our own
beautiful women. We lack the sim
plicity, the repose of the period that
produced those beauty types that have
been accepted as standard for all
ages. The American girl, with all of
her glorious qualities, needs some of
the serenity of power of old Greece
to make her more perfect than she is.
Her facial weak points are in her
nose and chin and forehead. Now and
then one comes upon the strong type,
but it Is the exception.

PROTECTING NATURE.

The love of beauty IS deep love in
the hearts of millions who have had
no opportunity of acquiring what we
call culture. In appreciation Of arch,
itecture. Of tragedy, of sculpture, edu-
cation counts for much In response
to the beauties of nature, in the up
lift given by budding trees, rising
moon, or peaceful stretches of level
snow. the most untutored often equals
the scholar who has travelled much In
realms of gold. The beauty which
lies about us everywhere belongs as
fully to the poor as To the rich, to
the simple as TO the learned. to the
laborer as to the artist. Nothing is
more significant to man, more COM
polling influence, than the qualities OF

that environment of which he is in
very truth a part, and by which his
sensibilities are in no small degree
determined. Who shall say to what
extent the outburst of the renaissance
was made possible by the magic OF
Italian hill and dale and sky? Or
whether the greatest of art periods
could have existed had signboards OF
corsets and Cascarets obscured the
loneliness of Greece? That dearest OF
Englands art. her poetry-the shin
ing river of natural song which flowed
from Chaucer, and included Shakes
peare and Wordsv orth and Burns and
Keats, and which is flowing still-could
hardly have been without the winning
and intimate fairness of the isle. We
in America are rich in landscape.
From Maine TO the sands of Florida,
from the Rockies to gentle New Eng.
land lawns, every mood is found in
nature-to awe, TO soften, to inspire.
Sadly we have allowed this blrthright
to be destroyed. We have given away
to private money making those water
fronts which mean so infinitely much
in peoples happiness and outlook,
and we sre now fortunately laboring
in many towns to win them. back
again. In careless hurry we have
killed our trees, but are now at last
awake to the role they play In a ma
tons history. The business men OF
Cincinnati have lately combined for
the purpose OF fighting ugliness in the
