PITCHERS WITH NOTHING
GET AWAY OFTEN-JOSS
Star Cleveland TwirIer Gives Reason
Why Those Who Deliver Goods
Deserve Credit.

How many times does one hear the
expression in regard to certain pitch
ers: Il can't for the life of me see
how he gets away with his games
Why, he hasn't thing" says Addie
Joss, the Cleveland twirler.
To good many fans, and especially
those who are not close students OF
the game, the pitcher who is not
blessed with tremendous speed and a
fast-breaking curve ball is always
called lucky whenever he wins a
game.
In reality, the twirler who can win
consistently and who is not fortunate
enough to have been endowed with
the natural ability some of his more
fortunate fellow pitchers possess, Is
entitled to at least as much, if not
more credit, that is the other slabster
In order to accomplish the same re
suits he must have developed some
thing which he can use that will even
up his effectiveness to the same stand
ard of the other twirler.
This is usually accomplished by
three things: Control, a change OF
pace, and, Lost of all, plenty Of nerve
A pitcher of this class is termed by
the baseball fraternity "a mixer"
By not relying is meant pitche,
who is constantly mixing them up or
the batter.
One of the greatest examples of the
successful twirler of this type is none
other than Clark Griffith, who fol
years was a topnotcher
"Griff' was never accused of having
enough speed to knock the mitt off the
catcher's hand, nor did he have !;
wonderful c.: &c ball. Still, he man
aged to win :, handsome percentage o
his games every year, simply because
he knew how to pitch and had tn,
nerve to hand up slow one any tim'
he thought he could outguess the bat
| ter with it.
There are any number of maJo
league pitchers who depend on thf
style of work to win their games, an,
| they are about as hard to beat as an,
! one.
Instead of being called lucky, the,
| should be given credit for the won
derful work they accomplish, and ar
| to be complimented for the advantag
they have taken of few things na
ture has endowed them with, thus put
ting them on an equal footing wit
their fellow twirlers who have NOR
natural ability.

OLD AGE AND CONGRESS.

William Boyd Allison, of Iowa, has
been in Congress forty-twoyears, ever
since the second Inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln, says the Boston
Globe. For thjrty-four years he has
been a Senator. Already his record
of Senatorial service is unequalled,
and if he shall serve out another term
he will have held his seat for forty-two
wears, and been in Congress full
half century. There are fourteen
who are more than three score and
ten, and half a dozen of these are
above seventy-ffve. Five of the Sen
ators from New England are septua-
genarians. At least twenty members
have served more than two terms.
Half of the New England Senators
are in that class. Long terms in the
Senate are comparatively new fea-
ture. They were rare in the first half
of the nineteenth century. The name
of Thomas H. Benton suggests a strik-
ing exception to the rule in those
earlier days, for he sat in the Senate
thirty years.

MAKING OUR MONEY.

The paper money of the government
is brought in iron bound chests. lock-
ed and sealed, from the bureau of en-
craving and printing to the cashroom,
OF the treasury and there delivered
upon receipt to Mr.. James A. Sample,
Chief OF the division of issue, in sheets
OF four bills each. They are complete
with signature and numbers except
Tor the seal, which is printed upon
them with power presses in a small
apartment under the cashroom.
These presses are worked by two peo-
pie, usually man pressman and wo-
man feeder or assistant. When the seal
has been imprinted upon the bills
they are counted automatically, bound
In packages of equal numbers by
bands ofpaper, marked, signed BY the
persons who have handled them, and
passed into the adjoining room, where
counted, and inspected SO that the
imperfect ones may be thrown out.
They are then bound into packages
of equal amounts, and taken to the
drying vault, where they ieupon the
shelves for several weeks until the
ink has become perfectly dry. Every
safeguard that ingenuity can con-
trive is placed around these trapsac-
tions and the chief of division can tell
which of his hundred or more subor-
dinates have touched the different
bills in the vaults. He knows who
received them, who printed the seal,
who wrapped and cut them, for every
package is recorded in an enormous
book.
The combination of checks is so
complete that Mr.. Sample would
know within twenty minutes if sim
gle bill were missing, but he has never
had occasion to test this knowledge
except twice within fifteen years.
Only two attempts have ever been
made to steal the money of the gov
ernment while it is in this stage of its
history. On one accession many years
ago pressmsn passing pile of notes
upon the table of his neighbor slipped
the top sheet under his blouse without
being observed and carried it with
him into the lavatory, where he was
concealingit. Thetheft
was discovered within FIVE minutes
and it was clearly apparent that he
alone could be guilty, although the
evidence was purely circumstantial.
No one saw him take the money.
Therefore he was not arrested and
was never publicly charged with the
crime. But he was dismissed from
the service and he knew the reason
why. The bills were never recovered.
He probably destroyed them, as they
did not appear in circulation.
On another occasion eight or ten
years ago colored messenger whose
business was to haul the money about
on cart slipped loose sheet into
his pocket unobserved while passing
between the printing and the counting
complete when it left the printer, Tor
it was counted and registered auto
matically in the press. When 1t
reached the countingroom one sheet
was missing and the package had not
been out of the possession of the col
ored messenger in the meantime.
Therefore he alone was responsible,
and as he could not offer any salts
factory explanation he, too, was dis
missed from the service, but was not
prosecuted because there was no di
rect proof of his guilt.

NOT MERELY 1DL1NG.

"That writer" said publisher,
referring to an author who seemed to
be idling away his time, ''is in reality
trying hard to work, to get his ideas
flowing, but he is stuck.
"He said to me himself that he re-
sembled a man who made bet one
summer day at the shore that he
would swim out mile and a half to
a certain bouy. The bet was accept
ed, and the man stripped and plunged
in. His friend retired to the hotel to
watch his progress from the window.
"From the window with a field
glass the friend saw the swimmer
reach the bouy in due course, draw
himself up out of the water and sit
down comfortably, with his legs dan

IDENTIFY he was resting, well pleased
with his feat.
"Some minutes passed, and the
swimmer had not moved. The watch
er returned to his book. But every
now and then he looked up, ard still
the swimmer sat in the same position
on the bouy.
"An hour, two hours went by.
Still the swimmer remained. A
white, slim figure seen against the
oncoming dark, he sat on the buoy $
edge. His feet dangled in the sea.
He seemed to be musing.
"Finally it began to grow quite
dark, and thoroughly alarmed at last,
the watcher got boat and couple
of bargees and rowed out to his friend.
"Out there the mystery was soon
explained. The man was stuck fast
to the buoy, which had been freshly
tarred that morning. - Washington

WHY WE SLEEP IN CHURCH.

A Chicago physician throws some
light on the problem of why we sleep
in church, supposing that we do.
IF ministers want appreciative audi
ences, says the Chicago doctor, let
them ventilate their churches. Give
the deacon some fresh air to breathe,
such as he is accustomed to on other
days of the week, and he will stay
awake during the sermon on Sunday
as easily as he does during the horse
trade on Saturday.
There is much truth in it. A
church should be ventilated for the
same reasons that schoolroom should
be ventilated: In the first place for
the bodily good of the auditors, and
in the second place because the
speaker wants the intelligent atten'
ton of his audience.

OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE! WHAT DID YOU
COST?

So you are III? And you stand up
clearminded, to look all the world
squarely in the eyes. You are man /!
Did you ever think how much it has
cost to make a man out of you?
Someone has figured up the cost
in money ofrearing child. Hesays
to bring up a young man to legal age,
care for him and educate him, costs
$25, 900. Which is lot of money to
put into flesh and blood.
But that isn't all. You have cost
YOUR father many hard knocks and
short dinners and worry and gray
streaks in his hair. And your moth
err, ah, boy, you will never know !
You have cost her days and nights of
anxiety and wrinkles in her face and
heartaches and sacrifices. 1t has
been expensive to grow you. But
if you are what you think you are,
YOU are worth all you cost-and much,
much more. Be sure of this.

Among the features of the parades
of the Barnum circus there was for
merly one that never failed to attract
attention. On the top of one of the
wild beast cages lay an enormous lion.
He, was not confined in any way, and
nervous people watching the parade
would shudder at the sight and con-
template the terrible possibility ofthe
lion springing into the midst of the
crowd.
But the venerable old king ofbeasts
had reached the leonine dotage, and
stiffened muscles and blunted claws
rendered him harmless. He was as
mild as a kitten and in the winter
quarters, where he was allowed to
roam at will, sometimes hadto be pro-
tected from the onslaughts ofirrever-
ent and mischievous puppies.
One night he wandered from the
quarters. In the courseof his travels
he chanced on a barn where meek
eyed COW was placidly chewing her
cud. A faint flicker of the slumber-
ing jungle spirit stirred his pulse, and,
with crashing blow of the huge fore
paw, the cow was slain then, lying
down beside his victim, he went to
sleep and dreamed of the time when
he was shaggy little whelp playing
with his brothers under the bright
sun of his farof African home.
In the morning the owner of the
COW, a stalwart female with the blood
of Irish kings in her veins, entered
the barn with milk pail in hand. She
was filled with wrath at the sight that
met her gaze. With keen edged
ak in her hand and grim determination
in her eye she fearlessly approached
the sleeping lion, and when the men
sent out to search for him arrived he
lay cold in death. Barnum promptly
paid for the dead COW and engaged tc
appear on exhibition ''the woman who
| in mortal combat had slain lion."
