Vernon Westerlund, formerly en-.
ployed at the Harper house as a bell
boy, is reported to have tried to work
rather clever sympathy game on the
girl who possessed the keys TO his
heart, but the scheme failed to work
out as it should have done and as re-

Saturday, the young lady who lives
in this city, received word from Leigh

man had been run over there by A
freight train and that his identity was
not known but that he possessed a
picture with her name on it. The news
carried with it the information that
the victim of the accident had lost
both his legs and that he seemed to
want her to come to him. The young
lady knew who the letter referred 20
at~once and instead of going out to
Leighton. she informed the sister Of
the young man. The sister. who lives

Course at Y. M. C. A. Fills Need for
Statesmen Who Wish to Alliance
Class is to Have Banquet.

Those in charge of the craftsmanship
class of the Y. NJ. c. A have. sent out
the following, relative to the course
and the banquet to be given tomorrow
evening:
Never in the history Of the world
was there time when such great OPP
portunities were offered men and wo-
men in commercial lines as is offered
today. There is tremendous demand
for ability at enormous salaries, but
few are qualified to offer their services
because OF lack of preparation for the
work.
Recently a great house advertised
for a manager for one of the depart
ments at $1,000 year salary, at the
same time advertising for held in the
office at $40 or $50 a month. There
were 500 applicants for the $40 job
The conclusion is evident-there are
800 cheap men 10 one $1,000 man. The
reason for this is lack of interest in
the work and preparation for the work.
There is only one out of every so in
| the department stores that ever rise
to any eminence.
| If the young men and young women
had the ambition and energy to take
a course in craftsmanship, such as is
offered in the Y NJ c. A. this condi-
ton of things would not be. but be-
cause the man in the Office or depart
ment store or bank or on the road
Isimply put in the hours during the
day which he is forced to, and is, not
willing to work and study during his
idle or leisure moments, he is forever
consigned to the lower ranks. where
he viii! always remain as long as he
lpursues this shiftless course. The
world is full of opportunities for the
live, wide-awal1e man who will work.

jcourse of study as will fit men foI
higher walks in life. You are always

HE'S NOT WORRIED
President Bartson Of Peoria, Says
Three-Eye Mn Play Fast
Ball Under Limit.
KINSELLAWILL BE HELDDoWN
If Changes Are Proven Advisable They
Will Be Made After Thorough
Test During Season.

Some misgivings have been express
cd as to the effect of the understand
ing reached between President NJ. III.
Sexton of the Three-Eye league and
President r. F. Kinsella of the Spring
field team at the capital last week.
Manager Donnelly of Peoria, in partic.
ular, is quoted as saying he feared
THAT Kinsella would be allowed to re-
tain his high priced players till June
l, and would therefore have an advan-
Itage in the getaway. However, Presi-
dent Bartson of Peoria is prepared to
set Donnelly right, if he is correctly
quoted in the following in the Peoria
IStar:
No concessions whatever were made
10 Dick Kinsella of the Springfield club
at the conference at Springfield and
Decatur last week." declared Charles
Bartson, president of the Peoria base
ball association, upon his return home
Saturday. But do want to say right
| here" he continued, that the directors
of the league have decided that, after
having given the $1,000 salary limit
fair and impartial trial, they find they
are not affording the fans the class of
ball that has been had in past seasons,
certain changes may be made in the
salary clause of the constitution These
changes, however, will not be made at
the dictation of Dick Kinsella or any
one man. They will only be brought
about after majority of the league di-
rcctors have expressed themselves as
desiring them.
| Think II Good Enough.
! Every. director in the Three-Eye
league, with the possible exception of
Kinsella. is convinced that the Three
Eye league can furnish baseball up to
the usual standard under the salary
limit that has been adopted. Kinsela
has agreed to give the plan a fair
trial. and not until we are convinced
that We are wrong in our calculations
will we make change. We expect to
furnish just as good baseball as in sea
sons past, if not better, but VIC pro
pose. in addition, to conduct the league
along more business like principles
and to pull some of the weaker clubs
out of the rut into which they have
fallen through the paying of exorbi-
tant salaries to players"
i Rcpurchases Dick Smith.
Il Dick Smith, it is now stated, will
more than likely be a member of the

You cannot put an audience in, good
