THE SONG WRITER'S REWARD.

Discussing the song writer's reward the New York World prints some very
 interesting facts. They go to show that now, as it has always been, in singing as in everything else, it is not the really meritorious that is always rewarded, but that a thing which ap- peals only temporarily to the people l mere passing fancy possessing nc real merit at all, receives substantial financial support while those things which uplift us in moral sense. give Us newer and higher ideals, struggle along in poverty.
 The World says that the defendant in a pending New York divorce suit is stated to receive an income of SS,OOO year or more from writing songs. His compositions are of fleetingly popular order. They please for a sea- son, as rendered by concert-han fav- orites, and another years audiences never hear them. It is rather a strik- ing fact that topical jingles are such frequent instruments of financial suc- cess, while ballads that live long yield scant returns to their authors.

YOUR BATTING AVERAGE.

Some day when you are invest ing in life insuranc by taking an after noon off for attendance upon the great American game, stop and diagnose the enthusiasm rife upon the bleachers. The baseball fan is an interesting study at any time The enthusiasm of the bleacherite is particularly instruc- tive if you are seeking a little human philosophy.
 Which player is it who brings down l the noisy applause from the stands IL is the fellow who lets the ball roll between his legs? Is it the fellow who l is afraid to make 8 try for that hard ] fly because he don't want to take a chance on a debit in his error column ? Or is it the chap who freezes onto everything which comes into his ter ritory and dives voluntarily after the hard ones regardless of the Man of Destiny who schedules the box score and the errors?
 Which player is it who brings the Islands to their feet in appreciative sup port and adoration? Is it the fellow who fans wide and takes the down and out count from the umpire Is it the pompous fellow who puts a puny fly to short when he ought to have slammed the leather over the telegraph poles |? Or is it the chap who drives the ball straight into safe territory for a base and then takes second on a nervy steal while the other fellow is asleep at the switch?'
 The basball fan loves the player with batting average. He adores the fielder who goes after chances He appreciates the man who plays to win.
 As does the bleacherite, so does the world The world loves the man with a batting average. The world adores the man who goes after the big game. The world appreciates the man who plays to win. The world pays it's greatest rewards for initiative.
 What is YOUR batting averageo The answer is apparent in the place you occupy on earth. Hard luck and ill., fortune are but spurs to the man
 who plays to win. You may be up now, or you may be down. But sDurts fdon't count. Many a pitcher goes to pieces in the last inning. It's your leverage that is going to tell the tale. You can make your average what |you will Look your fellowmen square in the eye, grasp your oppor- |tunities-be they great or small-with a firm determination, watch your chance as it comes home to you-and
 then hit safe. Many man fans out because he isn't self-reliant. He is afraid the umpire will call a strike on |him. He stands alone at the home plate with a field of hostile men op-

Veteran Railroad Man.

Agent A. B. Cady, one of the best
men for the place in the service of the
company, is growing Il be a veteran in
deed. He recalls that he entered the
service of the Union Pacific as an oper-
ator nineteen years ago next Tuesday
night, at midnight, at ChappeH, Neb.
At hat office the regular night operator
had become "incapacitated" and the
conductor of a train was tied up for
want of a train order. The operator
could not be made to work. Mr.. Cady,
who had been working for the Missouri
Pacific and Chicago and Northwestern,
was rooming nea the telegraph office,
and the conductor knew him and knew
that he was an operator. Routing him
out of bed, after a delay at the station
of twenty minutes, Cady was able to
get the order and the train moved on.
Mr.. Cady has been with the road ever
since.

A. l.. Mohler, vice president and gen

road, believes the decision Of the Unit
ed States supreme court in the Mime
sofa railroad rat case will have a
widespread effect and will do much to-
ward restoring confidence in the rail-
roads and their securities, says the
Omaha Bee.
while railroad rate legislation may

al states, the decision of the federal
court is simply another assurance that
legislatures cannot make and enforce
arbitrary laws which are inimical to
any great industry without review by
the higher courts. The railroads are
lawabiding and their rights should be
dividual citizens"
Similar Case in Nebraska.
Mr.. Mohler could not say what effect
the decision would have on the Union
Pacific road and declined to be quoted
on what action would be taken until
he consulted his counsel. There are
several Nebraska cases now pending
in the courts against railroads, one OF
which is in many respects identical

was $1,0SS.
Block Systems Good Use.
This simply shows that the effect o.

How to Change a Sheet Without Dis
turbing the Patient.

When changing sheets it is often
not advisable to move the patient, anil
in order to prevent any risk of chill
the blankets should be left undisturbed
while the upper and lower sheets are
slowly withdrawn and the fresh ones
substituted.
To do this a good plan is that of fas-
tening the edge Of the old sheet to the
clean one by e of three of four
safety pins, and the former, after hav-
ing been untucked at the bottom and
sides of the bed, draw away by degrees
until the other takes its place. When
a draw sheet" is used the patien.
should be made to lie on the side and
the original sheet rolleJ up as far as
it will go, the new one, half of which
is worked into a long roll, being laid
alongside.
If the patient is then made to turn
over to the other side of the bed the
old sheet can be easily removed and
the new one unfolded and laid fiat.
