WORRY OVER LEAGUE
CAUSED THE SUICIDE
By THOMAS S. RICE.

The deplora BILE suicide of Harry Pull
liam. president of the National League,
was not such a surprise TO those who
have been familiar with his condition
in the past year.
Mr.. PulIiam is said TO have made
threats TO resign with this, meaning
a revolver. and he would slap his hand
on his gun pocket. ON several OCca-
sions he showed the pistol, and more
than once when thoroughly excited was
so bent upon getting rid Of all his trou-
bles by the lcaden route that friends
covertly watched him to see that he
did himself no harm.
Mr. PulIiam had not been in good
health for at least two years, and the
constant and violent criticism 10 which
he was subjected by the ever wTangling
nagnates of the National League IN
doubtedly precipitated his death. The
climax came when the historic Merkle

PRISON DOORS NEVER LOCKED
Odd Place for "confinement" on Sark,
One of the Beautiful Chan.
mel Islands.

Sark, the loveliest of the channel
islands, possesses a quaint old prison
of two cells, more as matter of form
shan of necessity; for serious crime Is
almost unknown In the island, which
has no paid police, but simply an
elected constable. It is some years
since the prison was called into requi-
sition, and on the last occasion the
bolt was found to be so rusty that
1t had to be broken before the door
could be opened. The prisoner was
then put In, left all night with the
door open, and made no attempt to
escape.
On another occasion young English
servant, who had stolen some clothes.
was sentenced to three days impris'
onment The prospect SO terrified her
that the authorities took pity on her
loneliness and considerably left the
cell open. The little maid sat In the
doorway and was consr'ed by kind
hearted Sark woven, WHO came to
keep her company.
A still more curious incident is told
Of a man who was convicted for
neglecting his wife and children. He
was ordered to betake himself to the
prison and there wait for the arrival
Of the constable. This he did, sitting
outside until the door was opened To
let him In.

GREAT PAINTER THRIFTY MAN
Even to Generous Patron Turner Be.
erudeed the Opening of Bottle
of Wine.

Apropos of Turner's meanness, 1t is
told how elliot, patron of Turner,
called upon the great painter to pur
chase his work and said:
Nov, Turner, have bought many

thousands Of pounds, but you have
never even offered glass of wine. Yet
] am told that you have some OF the
best-grand old stuff you buy down

vorite haunts among the smugglers
and others. Out with it! l will not
leave your studio until l have tasted
It."
Turner reluctantly produced a bot
tie Of old port and grumbling all the
time, poured out glass. The con-
noisseur drank it.
well, | never! That's the finest
glass of wine have ever tasted. You
mean old fraud! I'll be equal to you
next time"
Next year elliot came around again.
After business, wine was suggested,
and, after some difficulty, Turner had
to produce his port. elliot drank 1t,
and then spluttered:
"Oh, good gracious! Am pois-
oned? What's this? Some Of your in.
fernal bitumen, or WHAT"

Following the Fashion.

Many women, and men as well, are
disturbed If they feel that the clothes
they wear are in the slightest par.
ticular obsolete. They cannot buy q
pocket handkerchief without the
anxious inquiry whether 1t is what
everybody else is wearing, or pur
chase a shoestring without critical
scrutiny and comparison. Not mere
ly in clothes is the fashion followed.
but in social diversions. One game
gives place to another, one popular
ballad with a whistleable refrain Gusts
its forerunner completely; no sooner
is a tune learned than 1t Is gone like
the SHOWS of yesterday. Books suffer
the same incessant vicissitudes Of the
favor of Fortune in mems eyes," In
most things 1t does not matter II
there is continual cycle Of changes.
1t is only when 1t comes to our be
nefs and our opinions that 1t Is not
well to try to keep pace with the
vagaries and eccentricities Of fashion.

and "F. T. Palgrave." Matthew Ar

Grandma's Good Reason for Referring

courtship between your grandfather

1T was few years after they had
discovered gold in California, and peo-
pie began to flock there from all over
the country. You know there were
no railroads running out that way
then, and everybody had to travel In
wagons. In the little town away back
east where we lived several families
that had the California fever dubbed

years older, belonged to one OF the
other families. He began counting me
almost as soon as we started, and he

He was the wag Of a merry party
on the train, and when the conductor
appeared he leaned back and as

owned the line.
"Ticket, sir?"
The joker nodded.
"Ticket?"
Then the Joker spoke freezingly:
How long have you been stationed
here, my man? Don't you know me?

But the ticket collector wasn't i'm
