CUBS TACKLE BROOKLYNs.

New York. July 2s.-The Cubs ar
rived here tonight ready to tackle the
Brooklyns tomorrow in the opening
game of their second eastern invasion.
The champs didn't have a chance to
show of in Buffalo, as they expected
to do, on account of mixup over the
date. The Buffalo management noti-
fed President Murphy of the Cubs
over a month ago that the game would
have to be cancelled. but Murphy for
got II.
So the champs were put of at Buffalo
against their will and against the
wishes of the Buffalo club. The spe-
cial car carrying the world beaters had
been ordered cut off at Buffalo and
no amount of persuading could make
the railroad people change the order
The team simply stopped of for two
hours. then resumed its journey here
and arrived about o'clock

JES' PLAIN

The good old Fourth's a-comln'-the best
day in the year.
And little chaps get anz!ous-!tSe "hcn
once Its DRAWN near:
They talk Of frecrackers and they dream
about the noise,
The dear old Fourth was certainly jes'
made fer little boys.
Bills got a great big cannon, with fuse
you have to light.
And lots Of great big crackers that's filled
with dynamite;
But I'm a little feller-aint' have as old
as he,
And I guess that plain torpedoes will have
to do fer me.
Pa says that giant crackers amt fit fer
little chaps.
He's sore on all toy pistols and hates these
He don't intend his children shall ever cele-
brate
By blowing off their hngers-he says they'll
have to wait.
You're nothin' but a baby" my father
says las yet,
And your daddy can't quite spare you; he
needs you bad, you bet.
Bills got some giant crackers? Well, that
I know Is true,
But I guess that plain torpedoes will have
to do fer you
It's hard to have big brothers and watch
them at their play,
the way;
To have folks always tell you, you can't do
thus and so,
Because you're jes, a little chap-not old
enough, you know.
But ma, she sees I'm fearful, so she takes
me in her lap
And says, why, what's the matter? You're
cryln', little chap"
Then, as she bends to kiss me-, I'm brave
as I can be,
I guess that plain torpedoes are good enough
for me!

Hetless by the wayside.
The young ousin was named as heir
to part of the estate, and Mrs. Wycherly,
broken In spirit, gave her consent to
Lionel-now Lord h1ariowe-when he
asked to be allowed to pay mis- addresses
to Ella. And Ella wrote to him, as the

Afterward-when she heard that he

that theirs was, after all, to De love IN

there were two gay weddings before long
at Wycherly. Arthur Calthorpe and Lena
live at Wycherly, which Mrs. Wycherly
has let to them.
There Is only one thing to explain. On
the night when the story opened, at the
BLACK Wolf" it was DR.. Dundas who
disturbed Lionel Leigh.
There was a secret recess in the cup
board, in which he had the night before
hidden the silver casket and be was IN
the cupboard searching for it when Lionel
was in bed. He afterward escaped IN

We al know people whose particu-

Yh1y cannot enjoy a friend because

feet and immortal; they see only the
sdeformsd, diseased, crippled, handi-
,capped man who, In their opinion, will
never come to any good.
Nor do they see the world that God
made. The beauty that looks out of
the landscape, from the trees that rus
tie IN the wind, that is wrapped in the
dover, Il lost to them. They only see
the Hoods. the fire, the earthquakes. the
lightnings, the wrecks which destroy.
They are blind to beauty. II is all COW

They do not hear the infinite harmon

bTi9's course to the southern Pacific.
Just before the brig left Salem a young
man at the head of a party of friends
saluted Captain Driver on the deck of
ths Doggctt and presented him with a
large and beautifully made American flag.
It was done up in stops and when sent
ap aloft and broken out to the air Captain
Driver christened it Old Glory.
He took it to the south Pacific, and
years after when old age forced him to
eelfnuuish the sea he treasured the flag
hs an old friend.
Tenn, in 1857 and. died there in 1886.
Previous to the outbreak OF, hostilities
between the North and the South Old
Glory was flung to the breeze every day
from tho window of Captain Drivers
Nashville house, but when the bullets be-
gan to zip and the odor of gunpowder to
faint the air the old flag had to be Sc
GREETED.
1t was kept out of sight inside a great
bed comfortably until Feb. 81, 1862, when
Brig. Gen. Nelson's wing of the Union
army appeared in Nashville. Captain
Driver presented it to the general to be
hdsted on the capitol. 1t was run up by
Captain Driver himself. He watched ii
through the night, and, a heavy wind
coming up, he took it down and sent q
new flag up in its place.
The original Old Glory was preserved
and after the death of Captain Driver
1t was presented by the compiler of the
Driver memoirs to the Essex institute at

WIRELESS MESSAGE PICTURED.
Ono of the New and RemarlSnbi
Feats OF the Camera.

ono OF the New and Remarknbi"
Feats of the Camera.
Photographing a wireless telegraph
| message is the newest feat OF the cam
era, says the Metropolitan Magazine
This remarkable photograph was made
in Nova Scotia late one night, when
| there was a continuous stream or mes
saCes leaving the wireless apparatus.
When the plate was developed 1t show
cd certain ~well-defned lines, indicating
the wires between the posts, and IN
addition a number of sharp flashes
across the sky which could have been
made by nothing except the passing OF
sharp electric waves. The photograph
IS causing a great deal of interest
among electricians and scientists. 1t IS
said to be one Of the most remarkable
ever made.
The opening Of q regular wireless
service across the Atlantic last October,
while somewhat sighted, perhaps, by
the newsgatherers on account of the
press of vital news Of present great I'M
port makes none the less an epoch In
the IlNulCe OIL ClNlllLdLlph uAN viz 10
c~iIitation Of commerce. In fact 1t may
be said that no event Of equal impor-
lance to scientists and mas
occurred since the opening Of the At
lantic cable nearly half a century age.
The first message was sent Via the
Nova Scotia station by Premier Laurier
to London. Everything worked well.
For this long-distance wireless ser
vice a tremendous amount of endln
power Is necessary. An observer sees
flames Of whitish blue dart from the
building where the operator Is station
I'd accompanied by a gigantic crack
ling, and the wires that start the spark
waves on their long journey fairly sing.
1t is necessary to send the message
slowly in order to avoid risk Of confu-
sion.
The first arrangement was that the
sending and receiving should be lone
alternately at ten-minute Intervals.
The receiving apparatus, al improve
ment over the old system, carried the
message to the receiving operator tele-
p~honically. The invention means n
great deal to the commercial world.

some Things to Remember.

The fact that a parrot is green is no
sure sign that he is not a bird of ripe
experience.
The great drawback about yellow
journalism Is not that it is yellow, but
that 1T is read.
There is nothing SO wonderful but
that it might be more so. Niagara, for
instance, would be far more marvellous
if the water flowed the other way.
Many a man Is modesty itself until
Ills children are born. 1t Is then he be
gins to put on heirs.
It may be true that money talks, but
1t is so frequently tight that Its con-
versatlon Is hardly worth repeating.
There Is nothing that so destroys
ones pride Of ownership as the early
morning call from the tax collector
John Kendrick Bangs, in Success Mag
,azine."

a VIEW FROM MARS.
what II Visitor from Another Svorld
Thought Of Our Fourth.

8hOfEht or our FOHfth.
1t was Fourth of July night, and thu
Visitor from Mars stood on the roof OF
a skyscraper overlooking the celebration
The black air was filled with scootinG
things of fire that streaked through tho
night and vanished into the siberia
spaces; of bright balls that shot up from
earth and burst on high with n report
filing the heavens with brilliant, evan
escent clusters of stars in the hues OF
purple, rod and burning copper.
What are these things called p asked
the Visitor. whose inquisitiveness was be
coming almost Il bore.
"Thosc,' said the man who was show

Did the American people chase the

American. Cant you see that they'r

"Just be patient a minute!" said tn
bore from another star, but at that nc
ment a diversion occurred. Something
big and red had exploded with a bang
and the figure of a man was seen lynn
prone on the sidewalk far below. Tier
was an excited rush of people, and a
ambulance anne changing around the cor
ner.

wished to have liberal settlements made
on the young gentleman whose place and

up very quickly.
Lionel would fain have gone to the
unhappy young man and have said to
him
You love my sister, she loves you
marry her, and I shall be rejoiced."
But Ellen Watson, with her ponies,
her fine toilets, her intangible but mos,
perplexing claims, stood in the way.

upon a grass plot, surrounded with dark
evergreen shrubs. All at once he was
conscious Of a figure o~bstructing the red
light Of the setting sun, which flooded the
lawn and the window at that moment.
Raising his head suddenly, he perceived
Miss Ellen Watson.
She wore a light riding habit, exquis-
itely made, which set off her slight form
admirably. Her fair plaits descended
from under a stylish riding hat. Her face
was slightly flushed; there was a light,
defiant and almost triumphant light in the
blue eyes. Without a moments hesAa-
tion the young woman entered the room
and stood by the side of Arthur.
Have you come to your senses?" she
asked calmly.

ing his arms and looking at her s%ternly.

No matter how warm and wearied a
man may be a firecracker dropped down
