THE YOUNG NAN COULD TALK.
To the chasrin Of Two Who Thought
:, He Was Deaf Mute.

1t isn't always safe to trust appear
ances. as two young women learned to
their chagrin ON a trolley trip.
Two other young women with q
man between them were seated ON the
opposite side of the car. They were
q silent three; the young women and
the man. but they talked excitedly-
with their fingers. Deaf mutes, evil
IDENTIFY. the other young women
thought, and after they had got a little
used to the novelty they began to talk
out loud about the young man and his
companions
isn't it a pity" said one. that such
q nice young man should be deaf and
dumb"
The other agreed audibly, and the
talk went on. AS is the way with the
sex, there was little commiseration
for the young women afflicted as the
young man was.
The young man got his revenge for
himself and his friends. Arriving at
the point he wished to embark, he
raised his hand to the conductor and
said in loud voice:
Stop at - street, please"
The young women who trusted to
appearances looked mighty sheepish
as the three left the car. The young
man wasn't deaf and dumb at all.
His companions we're, and he was sim
ply talking to them in Their own Ian
gnage.

NOT ALL IN BOOKS
COLLEGE WoMAN,s IDEA OF TRUE
EDUCATION.
Tangible and Intangible Results Of the
:. Four Years Training Own
Philosophy the Only Phil
osophy Worth Having.

II we could collect in one place at
the end of the college life every Wis
fble result of the four years work"
said a serious young woman who was
recently graduated from . well-known
college. I'VE might fancy for moment
that there was great deal more In
those books and papers than there
was left in our own minds: but. then.
az we realized afresh all the fullness
Of college life we should feel that the
best things gained were not those In
the books and papers, but somewhere
else. This last thought would be q
much better one than the first, be-
cause the only right and proper place
for everything that has been acquired
is not within the narrow limits of note
books, but present and ready in the
daily thoughts. and SO influencing
them as to affect continually the actual
life.
"The wonderland the men, too
who use to the fullest that which they
have. although this may be little. are
infinitely wiser than they who go on
accommodating and piling up informa-
ton. with no coherent purpose nor
with any definite plan," continues this
philosopher. THE trouble with q great
many people in this world is not that
they are lacking in sufficient brains.
but that they do not know how to
use those they have Waste is always
unintelligent; and it is the worst
waste in the world to leave idle and
useless the facilities which are capable
Of being alert and helpful. That this
is tendency with womankind-
with college women-in only too we'll
known. An illustration in point is a
comment of one of this years gradu-
ates: When I went home in the spring
vacation and heard my father talking
about strikes and labor unions l tried
to be intelligent and bring to the fore
all my training in economies; but It
was pitiful how much was in my note
books and how little in my mind ready
for use.'
Disconnected facts are only good
when they become significant, and
they only become significant when
they assume their proper places in the
scheme of living. The wisest people
are they who see life in its true pro-
portion; they can trace the origin, the
relationship and the meaning of events
and results in their daily life, and all
things have meaning for them.
These people are not always the ones
who have had the widest and best edu-
cation; they are often hampered by
this very lack of mental training. but
they have found some answer to their
questionings. Therefore they ponder
and puzzle. put two and two together,
until finally they begin to find answers
and to interpret causes and results.
They work out their own philosophy,
which is after all, the only philosophy
worth haying!"

The new minister in a Georgia

cover the whole category of human

deacons asked the old darky what he

ARLIE LATHAM SHOULD
AID GIANTS WIN REMNANT
Manager McGraw Signs Once Famous
Player to Teach Wen How
to Run Bases.

For three years il has been the
openly expressed theory of John j
McGraw, manager of the New York
Giants. that no should rate
itself as a championship contender I'M.
less its players could run the bases
well and UNDERSTANDINGS.
Repeatedly he has called the atten.
ton Of his own men to the manner in
which the members OF the Chicago.
team could get around the diamond
after they had reached first base. and
has worked to cultivate speed among.
those who were inclined to be slow
and expert base running among those
who could run rapidly.
When Arlie Latham was a member
of the ST. Louis Browns, one OF the
best baseball mines that ever played
on a professional field, he was also
of the most expert base runners
in the United States. As a matter
of fact, Latham was about ten years
ahead of his time in base running,
Notwithstanding that there We're some
excellent base runners in the old days.
Arlie knew how to slide to bases
in a manner which would make ii diff
ficult for the baseman to touch him.
That is half the success of some of the
most expert base unners in profess
sional baseball. With no more speed
than others possess. they not only
know how to slide but hey study the
position of the baseman whom theyl
are approaching. and slide in such al
manner as 10 make it most difficult forl
him TO reach them.
Latham has been engaged by Mel
Graw TO act as The fummaker Of incl
team in n sense, in another sense
he has been engaged to take hold OIL
the young PLAYERS. and soma of thel
old ones, too, that they RAY learn al
things about real has. running.

pion in 1893, and with Two Excep-
tons Has Held II Ever Since
Great Match with keoush.

Whom do | consider the greatest
pool player? Not a very hard question
and readily answered hs % ont Of
100 people who are familiar With the
game Of pool, said q well known pool
authority one day recently.
MY choice Is Alfred De orc. the ia
nous Cuban player, who. during his
long career as a player, has never had
an equal-a man noted for lNs nerve.
stroke, precision in executing a shot.
manipulation In handling he cue BAH
for position, and his wonderful fore.
sight IN picking out two or three balls
ahead has made him al opponent for
the best che masters the world has
ever seen. IN All his big matches he
has demonstrated cunchusiyely hat he
has wonderful nerve ana Is never
beaten until HE last ball has been
pocketed.
Dc orc first broke into the game
back in 1887 In ST Louis without any
previous experience be competed IN a
championship tournament and by de
feating such stars as Albert Frey ana
James Malone, then noted players, he
tied Tor The leadership with those two
players. Frey, who held the emblem
then, forfeited TO Malone who IN turn
forfeited TO De orc.
"rhe Cuban. however. reused to ac
cepi The trophy without a battle and
returned II TO the donors, who lnally
induced Malone to accept the def OF
the rising young player. It was not.
however, until the following year, or.
10 be exact. 1883, when Malone and
De ORC crossed cue and the latter
won the match.
~ that time they were playing
eight ball pool, best IN 81 games. and
when the last game started both men
were on even terms, each having won
10 games. DE orc. after Malone had
broken the balls, made a dificull shot
ana poeketed the necessary number
without giving Malone another shot
The victory gave him the champion
snip, and, barring une year IN which
he did not compete and three years
when he was III, he has held the tile
ever since
