MARS is HEAVEN
OF BEER GUZZLERs

New York The astronomical ses-
sion was not so strenuous today. The
unique luncheon given by Mrs. E b.
Frost and the women of the observa-
tory put the star seers in a happy
mind. The table decorations were of
moon vines and sunflowers, star sand
wiches and crescent peppermints,
says a Lake Geneva (Wis.) dispatch
to the Tribune.
The great searchers after truth in
the far distance told funny things
about Mars at the luncheon. They
have her continents, inlets and lakes
all named. They said Mars had a beer
lake and that, moreover, it was on Ice.
That is, one. part of the beer lake
was on ice and snow of Mars poles
and the other was connected with the
supposed canals leading over the con-
| tinents..
They also said that Mars was the
fat mans paradise He weighs SO
much less. They said that on Mars
Mr.. Taft could jump 20 feet into the
air as easily as he can six inches on
| earth.

BASE BALL AS A PROFESSION
offers Good Opening TO Young Men of
Ability.

ApropOs the question Of base ball sal
aries, there is no profession today that
offers more alluring prospects to the
young man tina base ball. Base ball.
II he has the ability, will make a man
OF him and II viii give him financial
returns far greater than most lines OF
business or professions. What Is perhaps
even a better argument, the returns will
soon begin earlier than he could hope for
any other line. Base ball is no place for q
gutter. The young man who dons a pro-
fessional uniform must have the intrinsic
grit so priced in this country. Weddings
soon find that they have missed their
calling and the real man viii will have
his manliness put into action at once.
objections formerly raised with reason
by parents TO their sons entering base ball
as a profession, have passed away to
a great extent. The personel OF profess
sional teams has risen to a higher standard
year by year until It is considered an
honor to be a member OF most teams.
by persons whose opinions are worth while.
A base ball team is no theological semi
nary. nor even a Sunday school, but there
Is no earthly reason why any young man
Of ordinary backbone should be debarred.
