Passing of Jack Taylor.

The release of Pitcher Jack Taylor
who helped to keep the Columbus club
up in the race in the American associa-
ton last year. means the passing of
Jack Taylor from the big leagues, for
it is not likely that any other club in
the association will take a chance on
him now that Columbus has passed
him up. Taylor has been a notable
pitcher for the past IL years and he
was considered one of the mainstays
in the Chicago club for quite a while.
Taylor started out as a big minor
league pitcher with the milwaukee,
club about 1895. when Connie Mack Sc.
cured him from down in Ohio.

SOUL OF A LITTLE CHILD.

Nearly all women are fon1 of jew
els. and one of the most acceptable
gifts they can receive is a valuable
piece of jewelry. They take great
pleasure in wearing it. or looking at 1t
and showing it to others. and they are
very careful not to injure it or to lose
it: but far more precious than ruoies
or the most costly jewels of earth are
the souls of the little children commit
ted to their charge-and often so iient-
~ valued by them, says the Charles
ton News and Courier. Few mothers.
no matter how bad they may be In
other respects, are Indifferent to the
health and comfort of their children
and there are few mothers who VIII
not sacrifice great deal in order 10
secure these things for their little
ones. In the care of this precious
trust even a conscientious mother
often errs. because she does not rea-
lize clearly enough how sensitive q
child's mind is. and how quick to note
every word and action of those around
him. 1t is not enough for parents to
fulfill the promises given at the bap'
tism of their child. that they will see
that he is taught those things neces
sary for his souls health in the
form of prayers and his religious du'
ties: for unless the lives they lead In
the home agree in every particular
with what they teach him. their labor
will likely be in vain. so far does the
force of example outweigh the spoken
word.

Mexico went to the gold basis in
good season. She has long been noted
for her rich silver mines. In fact. she
is by far the greatest silver producing
country in the world. Her output of
gold has also been considerable.
though she ranks low in that respect
as compared with the United States
and several other nations. But she
may do better from now on. 1t is an

acres. and if the proportion of gold

has ruled that all persons coming into
