BALL PLAYERS MUST KNOW.

to Guesswork.

to Guesswork.
Each man in q major league must
know not only the strength but the
weakness Of every opponent, and the
array of facts and information con.
cerning players that each pitcher can
muster up is amazing to the layman.
Late last season Boston presented q
new outfielder who, as far as l can
learn, never had played in major
league before, and no one Of the Chi
cago club knew him or ever had seen
him play ball, yet all were perfectly
familiar with him, his peculiarities,
,Jatting habits and disposition. On the
way to the grounds Brown and Reul-
bach, one Of whom was to pitch, went
minutely over that new man, analyz-
ing his position at hpt, the way he
swung at ball, the kind Of ball he
could hit and what he could not and
exactly how fast he could reach first
base. Steinfeldt was warned that the
man was dangerous and tricky bunt-
er and that he always bunted toward
third. When the pitchers got through
discussing the newcomer Killing and
Chance analysed him as a base run
ner.
II think" king remarked, 1--WE can
catch that fellow n couple Of times IL
he gets ON bases today. If he reaches
second I'll pull Off that delayed throw.
Let Joe cover and Johnny STALL"
In the third inning Of the game the
unfortunate youngster reached second
base on a hit and sacrifice. On the
drst ball pitched to the next batter he
raced up toward third. King motion
ed as IL to throw, Tinker covered Sec
ond base like flash, and Evers stood
still. The recruit at first made n Jump
toward second base; then, seeing Killing
had not thrown, he slowed down. Tin.
ker, walking back past him, remarked
"We'd have caught you that time, old
pal, If Killing had thrown" For just
one fatal trice the youngster turned
his face to retort to Tinker's remark
and in that instant Killing threw; Ev
ers met the ball at second base, jabbed
1t against the runner and before he
knew what had happened he was out
That man really was caught in the
bus on the way to the ball grounds
for the play was executed exactly as
king planned.-American Magazine.

Wifely Pride.

There is no telling what quaint turns
wifely pride and devotion may take.
Sir Melvill Beachcroft, while waiting
in tenement house for the occupant
of the first floor to admit him, CHANGED

the stairs.
One remarked that her husband al
ways wore a clean shirt every Sunday
morning.
"Well, now," responded the other, II

Death No Respecter.

The following, from the Scranton
Tribune, is worth reading:
An electrical storm swept a Meth
odist camp-meeting near Steuben-
vile, Ohio, few days ago, and Miss
Mary Miller, who had just given her
Testimony at the meeting in pro-
gress, was killed by a limb of tree
striking her on the head, and Rev.
w. Ladue was seriously injured, and
many persons received minor in
juries.
A funeral procession near Hamil-
ton, Ohio, was caught in a storm, five
carriages overturned and occupants
injured, and farmer killed by light
ming.
At Wheeling and Pittsburg two
persons were killed by an electric
bolt.
Former State Senator ], NJ. Shakes
peare, while attending divine services
at Marshalltown, Delaware, was
stricken with paralysis, and died
within a few minutes.
In a ship collision on Lake Super
ior, during fog, fourteen men were
drowned.
Death comes to all, no matter
where, when or the circumstances
whether the victims are good, bad
or Indifferent, whether in church
camp-meeting or in places of bad
repute, or while crime is being per
petrated.

The Fear of Death.

1t is as natural to die as to live
and as easy. Practically all the
distress witnessed as taking place in
the act of dying is the automatic
tissue struggle against dissolution,
and is not recognized by the individ-
ual who seems to be actually suffer-
ing. Occasionally, in the delirium
of fever, in uremia, and other intoX-
ications, in certain of the brain de-
generations witnessed in old age,
there is an eXhilaration or happy,
peaceful calm that pervades the
final scene. Usually every
thing is dulled, blunted, so that at
the border line between life and
death it is often difficult, even i'm
possible, for a certain time, to say
whether the soul has fled or not
1t was long debated in medical cir
cles whether or not there was a re-
liable test for death.
The fear of death, therefore, is
not instructive, and it never mani
tests itself in those who are actually
dying. Sense endureth no eXtremi-
ties" said Sir Thomas Browne, and
oblivion shares with memory a
great part even of our living beings
There is no physical horror of deatf
observable in beasts and insects
Humanity acquired it, DR.. Keyes be
lieves, through centuries of religi
Gus teaching" There is comfort il
the thought that it is never felt saw
by those who have a reasonable pros
pect of the continued enjoyment o
! life.
