Cy Youne's Good Advice.

Says Cy Young of the Boston Amer
leans: 81 don't think there is anything
wonderful at all about a man being
able to play ball at my age. MY habits
are no better than the habits of scores
Of other players, but 1 get out in the
air and move about in the winters.
The secret of long life on the dia-
mond' aside from good habits, which
everybody knows are necessary with
out my saying SO, is to get outdoors
and exercise in the winter. Walk, run,
split rails, do anything that comes your
way, but do something. Then when
spring comes you'll have something to
work N, some bone and muscle to fall
back upon. 1t is sad to see so many
men retiring from the game at about
the age of thirty when just by a little
activity in the winter they might last
for years. After a rough. 'bruising,
muscle wasting season on the dia-
mond 1t is next to fatal to settle back
into a life of absolute inactivity from
October to March"

The WORLD
George Davis as Manager.

The statement Of President Farrell
of the New York Americans that Kid
Elberfeld's appointment as manager
of the Yanks is a permanent one is not
taken seriously by followers Of base
ball. Those who are on the inside and
generally know what they are talking
about are predicting that George Da-
Wis, the veteran shortstop of the Chi
cago White Sox, is the man who will
lead the Yankees in 1909.

Cows Earned Their keep,

The dairy departments Of Ontario,
New Jersey, Kansas and two other ex-
pertinent stations report the annual
cost Of feeding per COW was $31.5O
to $4,000 per year, while the average
production IN milk was $72.19 per
year. Bear in mind these were, as a
rule, good cows-not the best, but good.
They were not expensive boarders, as
score Of COWS are.

CoWpea HAY.

At the Indiana station the heaviest
hay crop from cowpeas was made by
the Clay pea, with a yield of 1900
pounds of hay per acre, followed by
the Iron pea, with a yield Of 7,400
pounds of hay. When it is taken into
consideration that this hay exceeds red
clover In protein, the value Of a plant
that will give such crops can hardly
be overesttmated. - Country Gentle

While not making many claims
as to what States Mr.. Bryan will
carry, or giving any figures as
to his probable electral vote, the
WATcHMAN is satisfied of one fact,
that Bryan's chances for election
are much brighter than they were
on either of the occasions when
he was defeated. The conditions
which prevail throughout the
country, the strong disapproval
of Roosevelt ideas and methods
and the consequent objection to
supporting a Roosevelt" candl-
date the absence from the plat
form of those features which we're
strongly d~lspleasing to a large
number of Democrats in 1895 and
1900, all have a tendency to make
our candidate stronger than ever.
1t is a fact worthy of note that
men of prominence, men who are
influential in the councils of the
party and who have been oppo-
nents of Mr.. Bryan heretofore,
are now numbered among his
most enthusiastic supnorters
In the Review of Reviews for July
there is an article on "The New
Bryan" by j. Willis Abbott.
Among other things the writer
says:
In these later days a seuse of
responsibility to the million of
people in this country who have
put their trust IN him, and who
look upon him with admiration
amounting almost to idolatry, has
impelled him to give up any sort
of legal work, any kind of person
al activity which would Withdraw
him in any degree from the fight
for the people in which he has
enlisted. know Mr.. Bryan's en-
trance upon the campaign means
to him a struggle, a task, which if
he could set it aside, he would not
undertake, But while the Bryan
of 1896was a youth flushed With
ambition, eager to rush to the
forefront as he than did, the new
Bryan is a man not desiring so
much the honors that are proffer-
ed to him, but rather feeling, with
q solemn sense of responsibility.
dis duty to take up battle for true
Democratic principles and to lead
a party long out of power to ulti-
mate victory.
A very large majority of the
members of the Democratic party
will concur fully in the words of
this extract, the central Idea in
them being that the Bryan of
1908 is not in all respects the
Bryan of 1896. He is broader
more experienced in travel and OBJ
servation, knows more of the con-
ditions and needs of the country
than he did then. Besides this, he
has abandoned, or relegated to the

Value of Guineas,

We should not think Of keeping a

to disturbers that otherwise might not

1t is the idea Of many that a bacon

bacon hog is a hog Of the right con-

There is an elephants school in

taught in it to take up and carry In
their trunks great teakwood logs-nO

balancing. They are taught to kneel,
to answer to the various strokes Of the

they learn several gaits. Pets schools
abound the world over. There are

for song birds, not TO mention the ia

Choice.
BY ia NET GREGG.
Copyrighted 1908. by Associated
Copyrighted, 1908. by Associated
Literary Press.

After ten years of fried bacon and
salt pork the pendulum swung to its
opposite extreme for David Chadwick.
The goddess of fortune, whom he had
long wooed in vain, now turned her
face with truly feminine caprice. From
bacon and corn bread Dave had been
advanced almost overnight to a New
York hotel, where his days board
would have bought provisions for
month during his prospecting period.
And still Dave was not satisfied. He
did not like what he termed ''fussy"
foods, and the very length of the bill
of fare deprived him of his appetite.
Then it was that Nell Horton came
as an angel Of deliverance and led him
to her home in the suburbs, where
Dave devOured all that was put before
him and rejoiced in the absence of a
bill of fare
81 don't suppose that this modest
meal will appeal to you," said Nell
with ostentatious modesty. 1--WE are
plain people out here, and after your
grand hotel 1t must seem skinny,
but when / saw you on the avenue
I said to myself, III bet that's Dave
Chadwick, and I'm going to ask him
home, no matter what he may think
You haven't changed a mite, Dave,
since you left Lawrence"
Now, it is pleasant for a man who
realizes that he is beginning to look
old to be told that he does not differ in
appearance after fifteen years, and for
the first time Dave decided that Nell
was looking remarkably young herself.
He could not know that Nell had
carefully studied the numerous pic
lures Of the new Croesus in the news
papers and had haunted the vicinity
Of his hotel for days before she had
encountered him, apparently by chance,
in front of the place.
The Horizons had known Dave in his
early life, before he had gone west to
seek and eventually find fortune.
When the papers had taken up the
newly made multimillionaire, as the
week before they had taken up the
newly born baby elephant of the cir
Gus, Nell had read all the stories and
had determined that Dave and his mil
lions should become her property.
"He always was dumb fool" she
told her mother. IF we can get hold
of him before the others do I'll be mar

ried to him before the end of the
month. Did you see what the paper
said the other day about his cooking
bacon in his room and getting the
halls all smelly? He's sick of the
French stuff the hotels all have, and
there Is no one to give him what he
wants because he does not know where
here to dinner, and-well. he'll want to
come again."
Mrs. Horton had nodded approvingly
upon her well preserved daughter, and
so the campaign was begun.
They were fortunate In the posses
sion of dependent relative. The
Horizons had an income, small, but as
sured, and when Cleon Blake had died
penniless they had permitted his
daughter, Dora, to enter their house
hold nominally as Il member of the
family, but in reality as a superior
cook.
1t was she who had cooked the din
ner which had so pleased Chadwick
and which brought him frequently to
the little house. The men who were
promoting his syndicate insisted that
he must not remove from the hotel to
a boarding house where his simpler
needs could be suited, and it was only
at the Horizons that he could escape
that terrible menu card, with its res
taurant French and its overrich
sauces.
He did not always want steaks and
roasts, and the knowledge that there
were good things on the bill which he
could not translate only added to his
dissatisfaction.
1t was after an especially trying
meal at the hotel that Dave armed
himself with box of yioleis and sal.
lied forth to propose to Nell. He had
slowly come to the conclusion that
Nell was no longer as young as she
pretended to be, but she offered escape
from the hotel, and he was sick of the
place-sick of Its cuisine, its grinniDg
bellboys, It's servile walters and its ar
rogant clerks.
His business sponsors at least could
