Of baseball enthusiasts appreciate the
fact that there is on the Boston Ma
tional team veteran who has rec
ord scarcely equaled in the annals OF
major-league baseball.
This player is Bad Bill Dahlen,
shortstop of the Doves and veteran of
many a battlefield during the last de-
cade. Everybody who has followed
the game TO any extent in this period
is as familiar with the name as with
the maunerisms of the bad one. and,
while quiet and unasSuming. he has
had a varied experience during his ca
reer on the field. and stands to-day as
a connecting link between the days of
Arson. Lang, Burns. DAILY and others
who were dazzling stars in the days
of yore. with the Wagners. Lajoies
and Cobbs of our own time.
Bill is no idle boaster. but has a
quiet sense of humor that just sticks
out all over him. and. when he falter-
ingly owned up that he was no chick

consecutive year in the major leagues.

Piecinu Out the PRAYER.

OF curious prayers a writer says: 81
have heard layman utter this petition
during the prayer: %, Lord, be thou
with us in our upsittings an our down
risings'-a variant of the text in the
psalms. Thou knowest my downsit-
tings and mine uprisings.' A minister
occasionally introduced Latin SEN
tence into his prayer, and forthwith
proceeded to translate it. Another min
lister in his early days experienced con-
siderable difficulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies a quar-
ter of an hour, but long before this Pc
Rod had been reached he was wound
up. On one occasion, while in this d.
lemma, he startled his hearers with the
words: And now, o Lord, l will re-

than ever and l didn't fall asleep until
late that night, having tossed away
many restless hours upon the instru-

The postmaster's face was piteous to
behold. He shrank from me as l greet

seat he arose and went into his pri-
vate office, reckoning me to follow.

was not the thief.

and continued:
"'My confession is sufficient to con-

and | want you to arrest me and get
me away from here just as soon as

Gust at this juncture the depot
agent entered the office with a tele-
gram for me. 1t was cipher mes
sage from the department. Taking
out my code book, translated it in
moment and the contents of it, in the
light of Mason's confession, was moth
