In Menoriam

Mrs. Lillian Powell Wilson was born
June g. 1874. As child. she was dutl-
full, obedient, loving. winning the
affection OF those with whom she came
in contact. and. as she grew into
womanhood, these characteristics be-
came none the less noticeable. Very
early in life she enlisted in the service
OF Christ and proved at all times a val.
liant soldier.
Her beautiful Christian character
will ever stand as monument to her
memory. she was married to Ben F.
Wilson, Sept. %, 1892. To this union
were born FIVE ehildrea, two daughters
OF whom survive. Her home was
marked by cheerfuIness, simplicity and
gentleness. The last year of her life
was one of seyerest affection. vet she
bore 1t all patiently, submissively.
She fell peacefully "asleep in Jesus"

How foolish is the practice OF
carrying revolver has been exem-
plified so often that if people still
persist in ''toting" weapons for
which they have no use, it seems
likely that they will always continue
to do so. Last week young man
was shot while riding, near Louis
vile, and was probably fatally in
jured when his own revolver was ac-
cidentally discharged as it lay upon
the buggy seat. Reports do not
indicate that he had any need of the
weapon. Indeed boy of eighteen,
in our opinion, never needs one and
nobody else except officers of the law
is likely to have legitimate use for a
weapon in times of peace.
Some persons carry revolvers under
the mistaken impression that these
weapons would be available against
highwaymen or burglars, but any
skilled burglar would be able to steal
his victims revolver without much
difficulty. If one must carry re-
volver he should never carry valu-
able one for that reason. Another
means of rendering revolvers safe, if
we must carry them, is to take the
cylinders out. That will scare peo-
pie as badly in the darkness as if the
cylinder were in and will not do any
harm.

SUCCESS is not counted by dollars,
nor is peace to be purchased with
great riches, says a well-known
writer.
1t seems to us that the only thing
that keeps people in the city is that
they can make money there. But
that is all the city is good for, and if
they think money can make them
happy or can purchase them content
ment they are sadly mistaken, as
they find out when they become
millionaires.
NPeople spend their lives making q
fortune and then find out thatit was
not what they thought it to be.
There is a great inclination on the
part of wealthy people to return to
the country, but they go out in the
wrong spirit. They set up an estab-
lishment with lot of servants and
get as far away from the true country
as il they we're in town.
In order really to return to the
ssgreat elemental sanities" one must
go with the right attitude of spirit.
and that attitude is simplicity. 1t
does not take much money to live in
the country Money is good to buy
books and pictures with, but it is not
needed for much else. One can live
in the country, If his mind is right,
and enjoy the best books. the best OF
people, the best of life and never be
troubled about his bank account.

WEDNESDAY. AUG 4 1909

THE world with which we have to
contend is exacting, practical and
unsympathetic. 1t has no use for
dreamers except in SO far as they
afford subjects of ridicule for the
practical.
Unless you accomplish something
the world eommends you will be
elbowed out of the way or thrown
into the useless pile, so to speak. II
you lag you will be overtaken in any
race in which you may compete. If
you try to account for your failure
the world has no ears for your story,
it only cares to listen to the victor.
Every successful man in the world
has followed the bent of his nature.
If you find you cannot avoid think
ing about and spending your time at
music, become musician. II you
must give all your attention to
mechanism, become mechanic. If
you have an irresistible desire TO read
lawbooks, become a lawyer. But,
whatever you do, try to find that
which you can do best.
The world is full of mediocrity
From the standpoint of performance
the human family is about 80 per
cent as similar as brood of chickens.
There is very little difference in our
accomplishments. 1t is only now
and then a man does anything out of
the ordinary, and for the man that
succeeds in doing something better
and greater than has been done there
is always awaiting a substantial re-
ward alluring enough to cause him TO
try to excel.
II you put squirrel and duck on
the ground, as soon as they see the
light of day the squirrel will climb
the nearest tree and the duck will
swim in the nearest pond. They
cannot help doing so. Nature COM
pels them.

In Second Place

For the first time this season Rich
mond is out of first place, the final
blow which put them out was struck
Monday when Winchester defeated
them in five inning game by the
score Of 3 to l. The game wrs cut
short by heavy rain which began 10
fall while Richmond was at bat in the
sixth round. The only feature OF the
game was a wonderful catch by Whit
taker. He made leap fully three
ieet in the air and pulled down what
would kaye been easily three Dagger
and by beautiful throw to first COM
pleten double play. COmstock and
Toney were the opposing pitchers
"Commy" was not at his best aud his
support was far from what it should
have been. Toney was pitching very
good ball, but it is doubtful whether
he could have held up had the game
gone the full nine innings.

BASE BALL
Notes and Gossip
How They Stand.
Frankfort 7. Richmond S.

The above score tells the tale OF the
game piGyed here last "Wednesday
between Richmond and Frankfort. 1t
was not victory for Frankfort, for it
was simply a gift by our boys who
made put little effort to keep the Law
makers from getting the long end OF
the score. In fact they played the
most ameteurish ball seen on the
local lot this year. They made errors
galore. ran bases with poor judgement,
and failed to hit at the right time.
Numerous times during the early part
OF the game, they had opportunities to
score but were cut short by some kind
of fuke. Not only did the local
players try to give the game away, but
Umpire Wilson got in his work at a
critical moment and the game was lost
to Richmond. Our boys did show a
fash of their natural speed, when IN
the seventh inning with the score five
to one against them, they got busy
with their bats and secured enough
hits, coupled with two bases GU balls,
to score four runs and tie the score. 1t
looked as tho they would be able 10
continue their hitting and win, the
game but they were unable to locate
Cornell's Blenders any more, and lost
the game when the Lawmakers made
two runs in the ninth on an error, a
couple of hits and bum decision by
Wilson.
Comstock did the pitching for Rich
mond and he did his part we'll, and
with any kind of support would have
won his game.

Win From ShelbyvilIe.

Richmond broke its losing streak
Thursday when they defeated the
Shelbyville team by the score of to
,. This was one Of the best games OF
the season, both sides playing beauti-
full ball and fighting ball and fighting
for everything in sight.
Vallandingham was on the mound
for the visitors and a.tho the Pioneers
got eleven bits off bis delivery they
were we'll scattered they did not count
Tor runs except in the SIKH and ninth
innings. Cieager pitched for the
home team and in only one inning did
the Millers get more than one hit. In
the fourth a base on ball and couple
OF hits counted for two runs ald it
looked as tho this would win, for Val
landiDgham was pitching good ball
and things were breaking badly for our
boys III the sixth, however, a hit
by WEIGH, an out by Creager, bit by
Tilford and two Dagger by ConAstock
tied the score. Each side tried des-
perately for another run but neither
side could do anything until the ninth
round. In Richmond half of this
round after Comstock and Maloney
had made outs, Baird smashed a two
Dagger to right field. Then came the
exciting moment. With two out aud a
man on second the ever reliable Whit
taker came TO bat and he landed on the
second ball pitched sending it sailing
over the right field fence. sending
Baird home with the score that won
the game.
The other features of the game were
the fielding of Whitaker. the fielding
batting of WEIGH, Baird, Tilford and
Doherty and Glenn.

Forfeit Second Game.

With the score standing , 10 in
favor of Richmond IN the fourth in
ming of Fridays game, Kuhn, Shelby
ville's fist baseman became so abu-
sive IN his language to the umpire, he
was ordered off the grounds. In trying
to place his men aiterward Manager
Glenn had considerable trouble and
took up so much time that Dunbar
called play ball and Glenn became
angry and began to abuse Dunbar and
he too was ordered out Of the game.
This left the Millers only eight men
and they refused to go on with the
game and it was forfeited to Il chmond,
9toO.
1t is certainly to be regretted that
the trouble happened but it was
wholly the fault OF Knhn and we
think Dunbar did exactly right when
he ordered him out Of the game. If
the umpires all over the league would
put more men out and fine few msIe
ior misconduct on the field they would
soon break up rowdy ball. The pa
irons of the game pay their money to
see the men play bali and they
have right TO expect that ana nothing
else, so the sooner the managers come
to realizs that fact and pu; into effect
some rule that will keep the players
from dispuung the decisions Of the
umpire, the better it will be for all con-
cerned. As the conduct of the fans
throughout the circuit, there is abso-
iutely 10 excuse for any demonstration
on their part. We are glad to say,
that Notwithstanding the fact there
have been times when it looked as
though the umpire favored the other
teams, the fans here hayo not shown
any disposition TO take matters into
their hands for settlement. Every
body should remember that the um.
pires are only human beings and that
they are liable to make mistakes.
Again they should remember that the
umpire las every thing to lose and
nothing to gain by making bad de-
cision. That is his business and if he
has any ambition rise higher in his
profession he can expect to do it only
by making a success where be is. As
Tor US We believe the umpires are
doing the very best they can and, if
left alone by both the public and the
players, would do better. Lets give
hem chance.
