pitcher. Yet catchers of the really
first rank have been and are the
hardest to find.
The requirements of the position
doubtless have something to do with
it OF good mechanical catchers there
is no lack, but in those matters of
generalship, head work-whatever the
subtle something is that the catcher
must have in addition to the good
arm and the watchful eye for base
runners-the national game is none
too well provided in its backstops-
We all know what an asset such a
catcher is to a team with his knowI-
edge of batters, his ability to direct
his pitcher, his ability to oversee the
defensive play and adjust it to suit
the attack-points of play which are
all important, though quietly done and
not in the limelight.

brief task There was only one Ewing

A Stroke OF Geniua-

Baltimore Star: To the fearless and

yield the palm for the most original
and the most meaningful recent journ-
alistic combination Of unoffending Eng
lish words. Setting forth In due form
that a great Chicago department store
regulate the habiliments OF it's femi-
nine workers while on duty, this es-
teemed metropolitan contemporary
lists the articles Of apparel which are
prescribed by the rev official, and ar
irving at that butt of ridicule and pre-
tended masculine contumely, the
''peekaboo'' shirt waist, announces that
Swiss cheese shirt waists are forbid
den in the big store"
What more aptly could describe thai
confection of apparel? What com
bination of words could more indel-
ibly impress upon the mind of the
reader the fact that the principle in
gredient of a peekaboo waist is
holes? Is not Swiss cheese a series Of
unrelated holes surrounded by little
else? And peeke boo waists ditto?
Truly, this was a stroke of linguistic
genius akin to that of the boy whC
described a doughnut as large hol,
surrounded by a ring of dough.

The Family Tyrant
THERE USUALLY rs ONE WHO
ATTEMPTS TO BOSS ALL
THE OTHERS.

MANY a family is spoiled by one
49, member who is the tyrant. There
are homes where mother and children
step softly and never dare contradict
because of an ogre-like person named
father, whose word whether wise or
foolish. is law. and wee betide the rash
individual who dares hold another
opinion!
There are households ruled with an
iron rod by one woman. where 1t is
case of "she who must be obeyed" She
dictates the children's opinions for
them; she tells the cook how to run
her kitchen: she informs her husband
just what he can do and what he can
not do. 1t even reaches the point
sometimes that she shuts up rooms and
won't allow them 10 be used and has
certain pieces OF furniture that must
not be sat upon or certain cushions
that must not be leaned against
But in way, these two tyrannies
are not so bad as others. because they

II mother-in-law who enters home
not her own and attempts to dictate to
is inmates? And yet this is an every
lay occurrence, with gradual estrange-
nent between the young couple and
sometimes what was a happy romance
ending in the divorce courts. Then
there is the tyranny of the daughter
who has been away to school and who
~eturns with newfangled airs and
tnannertsms to criticise the old folks
and to make every one uncomfortable.
Then there is the genius of the
family who has the artistic tempera.
ment That temperament is made the
excuse for every sort of crime against
the family comfort The genius must
sleep late mornings, with breakfast
kept warm. She is always too weary
TO help with the dishes or other honely
tasks. but never too tired TO play the
piano or pursue her "art." whatever II
Is, and she is forever picking and fault
lndlng and lounging around in worka
day folks way. But Of all the tyrants
the worst Is the sman child. Homes
nave been completely broken up by the
advent OF this tyrant in the shape Of
spoiled child. 1t has been impossible
TO keep decent furniture or have peace
or quiet or anything that makes life
worth living The spoiled child won't
even let its mother have callers. # in
terrupts every minute in a wild effort

else rails 1t will even FALL downstairs
and bump it's head out OF sheer des-
peration in order to cause a general
commotion.

chance and there is no tyrant.
