Slept While Legs Burnt.

George Campbell Of Sunnycale, CAL,
is congratulating himself upon the
fact that he is cripple in both legs.
The other night fire broke out In
the American hotel in Sunnyvale.
which was discovered by the daugh.
ter Of the proprietor. In her night
dress and barefooted she ran a quar-
ter Of a mile to sound the alarm and
probably saved Campbell's life. When
the volunteer fire department arrived
upon the scene they found that his
wooden legs were burning, but he was
sleeping blissfully unconscious Of the
fact. The blaze was practically con.
fined to his room.

In the Good Old rimea.

The first temperance society is said
to have been founded by Margrave
Frederick v. in 1900 and it is instruc.
tive to learn that the noble members
of that society were bound by
pledge, good for two years, not to
drink more than seven bumpers of
wine with any meal, nor more than
IA bumpers a day. They were, how
ever. permitted to quench any sur
plus of thirst with beer and to drink
one glass of whisky on the side. BY
this ideal of abstention may be gauged
the ordinary drinking habits of our
forefathers in the good old times
when knighthood was in hower.-Mor-

Good Roads.

Another need emphasized by the
people everywhere is good roads.
They want them faster than they are
building them. Many favor some
form of aid by the federal government
Some favor the direct building of long
highways under the governments au-
thority to construct postroacs, others
want help given to local governments
on condition that local governments
pay much of the cost and then keep
them in order. Public opinion in gen
eral favors the national government
going at least so far as to have a body
OF road-building engineers who shall
give advice to any community that
asks it-show just what sort of roads
to build-and who shall work out
large plans for long roads and thus
cause adjacent localities to work to-
gether. Again, the government can
show the people how-World's Work.

Definition Of a Kiss.

"a kiss! When all is said, what is 4
kiss? An oath of allegiance taken In
close proximity, a promise more pre-
else, seal on confession, a rose.red
dot upon the letter in loving; a secret
which elects the mouth for ear; an in.
stant of eternity murmuring like a
bee; balmy communion with a flavor
of flowers; fashion of inhaling each
others heart, and Of tasting, on the
brink of the lips, each others soul!,-

Hurry and Dispatch.

No two things differ more than hur-
ry and dispatch. Hurry is the mark
Of weak mind, dispatch of strong
one. A weak man in Office, like a
squirrel in cage, is laboring eternal
ly. but to no purpose, and in constant
motion without getting on a jot; like
a turnstile. he is in everybody's way,
but stops nobody; he talks a great
deal, but says very little; looks into
everything, but sees into nothing; and
has hundred irons in the fire, but
few of them are hot. and with those
few that are, he only burns his fin-
gers.-Colton

Grizzlies Eat violets,

In one locality the grizzly Of the
Rockies is found eating the fresh
sprig of the dog-tooth violet and the
green leaves of the spring beauties,
says Fur News, while a few hundred
miles further on, to the north or
south as the case may be, the grizzly
doesn't touch them.
Instead he may be discovered
munching at the young shoots of the
shooting star, down in the Bitter
Root mountain country, for instance.
among the towering peaks of the
higher Rockies. Upon this question
of locality which is often overlooked
or even ignored by nature writer's.
lies the solution Of many warmly dis
puted points between those who tell
the public at large all about nature
and its animals.

BARON BAUER,

We hear and read a lot these days about the trials and troubles of the man. agers and magnates of the big league teams We see that they are worn out with the worry of trying to get their players to sign up. Demands for higher salaries and kicks from disgruntled play CTS are pictured as eating away their very lives and reducing them to mere skele- tons This all sounds very well, and the manager or magnate has come to be much pitied individual. But the people who read the papers do not give the players side of the question the proper. if any. consideration. They set down the niar who plays the game as narrow minded. selfish sort of a person, who not COT tent with a princely salary, wants to take away all the profits from the man who enables him to live.
 This all sounds very fine, but to one who knows the inside facts of the wran- gles between magnates and players it is nothing less than ridiculous. Baseball today is d business It is no longer played for the fun or the enjoyment that is in it. And club owners are no more who support teams merely because they love good, clean sport They are now hard headed business men, whose invest ments bring good dividends. To win final cial success these men must have teams that will win games. Is it any more than right that the skilled artists, whose work on the diamond wins this success, should receive a share, and a good one of the profits?
 Stop to think Place yourself in the posi- ton of the star ball player. We will say, for instance, that you are in the employ of a big mercantile concern You are working for a small salary. An idea pops into your brain. and you figure out how the profits of the concern can be

GIRLS FIELD MEET.
Several Records Are Broken By Vassar
 College Students.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, May 9.-(Special.) J. The annual field day was held at VassSa college yesterday with Miss Inez Milhol- land of the class of '09 figuring as the heroine of the day.
 Miss Milholland, who is the leader of the womans suffrage and socialist move ment at Vassar college, and has been prominent in athletics and social doings at Vassar for four years, today broke two records of last year.
 Moreover, Miss Milholland broke the record established by Helen Mccoy in 1903 in throwing the basket ball. For five years Vassar athletes have striven vain ly to advance Miss McCoys mark of 72 feet 511 inches. Today Miss Milholland threw the ball IT feet inches.
 One other record was broken. In the hop-step-jump Miss Charlotte Hand, TO- of Brooklyn, made 8 feet 10% inches. The record was 27 feet 2& inches, made by Miss Wheeler of Fairfield, Conn.,, last

Navy Crews Win.

Annapolis, Md, May 9.-Two navy crews nosed out their opponents in beautiful and stirring boat races over the outer course on the Severn river Saturday.
 The navy varsity beat the exceptionally good crew of Columbia university The distance was two miles and the navy seniors went the course in minutes 56 2-5 seconds, while Columbia negotiated it in 10 minutes 1A seconds.
 The navy fourth class crew and the eight of the Central High school of Phila- delphia went over the same course for a mile and a half, the midshipmen win ming handily. The time in this race was Navy minutes 2-5 second; High school minutes 19 seconds.

BUSY WEEK THIS
 IN SPORTING WAY

Two series of events in the sporting world virtually monopolize the field this week. These are the inauguration or the racing season at the New York tracks and the invasion of the west by the eastern wing of the American league and the assault of the western division of the Nationals upon the eastern clubs. In the south the eastern clubs go west.
 The New ork racing season will open Thursday at Belmont park with the Metropolitan handicap, and as If to disprove the suggestion that interest in the sport is waning because of the anti-race track betting laws 29 of the best horses now in condition are en- tered, an unusually large field for so early date.
 The racing season also opens at Jamestown, Va, on Thursday
 The merit and mettle of the teams of the two major baseball leagues will be fairly shown when the clubs of the east and west meet this week. These long swings on hostile grounds will test the team play and develop their strength. The same is true of the South ern league teams.
 The first of a series of heavy weight fights in Europe will come next Satur- day at Paris, where Joe Jeannette and Sandy Ferguson of New England will meet for 20 rounds at the Cirque De Paris. Last September they battled for 12 rounds at Boston, Ferguson getting the better of the argument.
 The unusual sight of two champion ships being fought for In a single night will be witnessed in London May 24 when Sam Langford will endeavor to wrest the title of heavyweight cham pion of England from Ian Hague, and Little Jimmy Walsh of Boston will battle with Digger Stanley for the English bantamweight championship.
 Some interesting track statistics and form comparisons are expected next Saturday at the track meet of the Har- yard and Yale teams at New Haven.

for Season.

gl eatly increased, if the method of doing some certain line of work is changed and the system you have planned out sub stituted You will go to the head of the concern and inform him that you have at hand a means of improving the profits of the business. He will listen to your plans, and if he thinks them feasible will immediately raise your salary. We will say that you are the only one who could, from your intimate knowledge, carry out this plan. If, after it had been working with great success for a number of years you went again to your employer and asked that your sal ary be raised again, surely you can see that he would be willing to do it.
 It is the same way with the ball player. He works with a team. and after time he becomes almost essential to the sue cess of that team. Because the club is winning games, the public support it, and the magnates are coning money. believe, and am firm in my opinion. that any fair minded person will concur with me, that the ball player is only asking what is due him when he refuses to play unless his pay be increased.
 The club owners can well stand the expense of remunerating players they should be rewarded It is common thing to pick up a paper any time after the sea- son Is, We will say, half over, and to read such notices as "The owners of the league clubs of this that city have announced that the receipts to date have enabled them to pay all expenses for this season, and what they take in hereafter will be pure profit" Think over this phase of the question for while and you'll find that you're thinking that per haps the players have a little justice on their side of the argument
 When you go to a manager and ask for more salary, he will of course laugh at you. That's to be expected. As l said before, he is a business man and it's to his advantage to see to 1t that his ex- penses are kept as low as possible, so that the profit may be greater. But in the end, if the player be persistent and show

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

If Engle of the Yankees goes on as he has begun there is likely to be second Hans Wagner in the world of baseball The other new men, partic- ulraly Knight at shortstop, speak vol umes for the skill and judgment of George Stallings, who has an enviable reputa- ton for turning out championship teams. I like the way Knight handles himself, and if he does not develop into star 1t will be because the sun forgets to shine
 Hal Chase is again in the game and Stallngs expects now to get right ahead.
 That Pitcher Quinn of the Highlanders is a find appears to be the general opin- ion of baseball experts. He has a de- livery that is a cross between that of Joe McGinnity and Amos Rusie. His curves are quick, sharp and wide, while his control is remarkable. He has phe- nomenal speed and a puzzling slow ball, and above all he is the possessor of a cool head and iron nerve.
 Manager Stallings and Duke Farrell say that there is every reason to believe that Quinn will rank with Ed Walsh, Bill Donovan, Addie Joss Walter John son and other star American league box men.
 Johnny McGraw will not wear a uni form for several weeks. He has a very bad hand and the doctors are resorting to heroic treatment to save the finger.
 "Dode" Criss, who led the American league batters last year, has reported to St. Louis Criss said that he had ad- justed the salary differences.
 Ed Walsh has reported to Charley Com isley of the Chicago White Sox and Com my now hopes to get into the running again.
 It will be possible hereafter for base ball enthusiasts en route between New York and Chicago on the Twentieth Cen tury Limited Lake Shore Limited and Wolverine trains of the New York Cen tral lines to keep in close touch with the results of the games of the National and American leagues.
