lay, it was said, failed to live up to
his advance notices. He presented a
natty appearance in golf trousers,
brown stockings and a negllgee SHIRT,
but he ECaseyed OUT twice with two
men on bases, got base on balls
once, and then, in the last half of the
seventh, showed flash Of rare speed
when he beat out tiny little lnheNd
hit.
The official score looked too much
like House tariff bill coming out OF
the Senate committee on finance to be
printed in full. The Republicans
stuck to their original lineup through
out the game, but the Democrats wore
themselves out making ten rounds IN
the second. and after that substitutes
were called for.
The nearest the newspaper scorers
old hands at the business-could
come to the base hits and errors was
to give the Democrats % Of the for

latter. The Republicans are credited
with 20 safe hits and 9 errors.
Catcher and Pitcher Collide.
Texas leaguers were there in
punches and once in chasing a pop
fly tHe Republican catcher and pitcher
collided with fearsome results. Rep
resentative Burke, Of Pennsylvania,
who was at the receiving end of the
majority, is of slight build, and when
he crashed into Pitcher Gaines, Of
West Virginia, the little catcher was
sent heels over head to the ground.
He picked himself up undaunted, and
then. while he and the pitcher were
doing an "Alphonse. and Castor, "
three Democrats with warped idea
of chivalrous courtesy raced home and
added three runs to their already opu-
lent total.

made an excellent battery. In fact,
Mr.. Burke caught so we'll in the Sec
ond inning that one Of his colleagues
,called out:
"For heavens sake, Burke, come
on and catch one ball anyway"
The Democrats had for their leader
Representative Kinkaid, Of New Jer-
sey, who played second in way that
would turn Lajoie green with envy.
Representative Webb, of North
Carolina, pitched for the Democrats
and outside Of the fifth inning, chad
the game we'll in hand" "
A Home Run Knocked.
Representative Oldfeld, Of Arkan-
sas, the catcher, had a shade on Mr..
Burke. In fact it was in the battery
work that the Democrats excelled, al
though their slugging was a marvel
Gus revelation to Washington base
ball enthusiasts. The Washington
public long ago had forgotten what
"a home run looked like, until Repre-
sentative O'Connell. Of Boston, Mass,
star swatter Of the Democrats, lined
out in the seventh. He brought in two
other runs ahead Of him and scored
in the midst of so much excitement
that Catcher Burke threw the ball to
a Democrat in the dense crowd around
home base.
Once a thin Democrat began to
chase fat one around the bases after
making a long hit to centre. caught
up with him at third, and then the
two ran home together. Catcher
Burke got the ball in plenty of time
to make the most phenomenal double
play on record by tagging the two
runs with "take this. and that. y
But he dropped the ball.
The problem Of securing salts
factory umpire was hard one. The
Democrats declared that if Speaker
Cannon acted they had not a chance
on earth. The gordian knot was cut
when the Rev. Father James Rey-
nolds, of Red Bank, New jersey, was
selected. He umpired the bases and
had only one decision to make. Mike
O'Day, ground keeper of the park,
was offered as the sacrifice on balls
and strikes. Two or three threats to
kill him had no serious outcome. And
nobod. got hit by a pitched ball
they had plenty Of time to dodge.

FARMING THAT PAYS.
A Visit to an Arson County Farm OF
This Kind.
(Wadesboro Ansonian.)

In company with Doctor" Morton,
Savings Bank. The Ansonian man en-
joyed a short time at "Fair View
Farm" yesterday afternoon. This
pretty country place is located on the
Chesterfield Dad a few miles from
town and is owned by Mr.. S. T. Flake
It is an example Of real c~ontentment
and easy living in the country. There
are good meadows, rich with fine
grass, but the cattle do the harvest
ing. Its pastures furnish plums. null
berries and acorns for the many hogs
that practically feed themselves while
hey bring IN a. neat profit for their
owner. Mr.. Flake has sold from his
farm during the year more than S150
worth Of pigs and calves that cost
him practically nothing. A great
abundance Of fruit is always ready
for the market and home use and we
were shown n grape vine from
which $3.50 worth of scuppernongs
were sold in one season. Walking
through the peafields, we noticed
bees busy as could b. working for
their owner without his or the hired
mans supervision. In fact. there is
70 hired man. but everything t. NOV
ing happily along, making rooney for
the man who has = way
to make it much easier than thu cot
ton route. He simply sits by. eniOv-
ing his phone. rural mail. country
drives and the best of everything ii

always at the feet Of God, the men
of this hurried age are now called to
sit at his feet.
Withheld by one old sin resumed that
day,
Conscience at night forbade his Inns
to pray,
Ashamed that he his earth-stained
voice should raise
In pardon's urgence or in guilty praise.
All through the night he grieved in
sad unrest.
For sake of those his silence left UNI

Those who in sin or death, alone
might stray,
Bereft his customed prayers for such
as they.
When in the darks of dawn the first
bird hymned
Its waking JOY with hopeful note I'M

That prayerless night had blessed him
meath it's ban
And on his knees he fell, a better

Then mid the choiring that louder

One humbl human prayer to Heaven
''Teach us before we bless we must
obey!
Save us from sin that makes us fear
to pray!"
Martha Gilbert Dickinson Rianchi.
Everybody prays in extremity. But
not everybody has the courage to
make public Acknowledgement of his
deliverance afterward. The young
British explorer, Lieutenant Shack1e-
ton, whose recent dash for the South
Pole brought him neare- to that goal
than man had ever gone before, has
publicly declared his gratitude for de-
liverance from many peri1s by the in
terposition of a special Providence. He
writes: cit was during those periods
that some Power beyond our own
guided our footsteps. If we acknowl-
edged this, as we did, down among
the ice floes, it is only fitting that we
should remember it now when the
same Power has brought us safe home
through all these troubles and perils."
The first lesson of prayer is ability
to say, "Our Father" and the last
lesson Of aye is ability to say, "Thy
will be done"
We are learning more than a lit
tie nowadays about the ps~eudo-philo-
sephica1 theory Of prayer which ex-
tolls certain psychological principles
and INDUCES in many big words, as
'rte1epathy'' and "sub-conscious ego"
Stripped Of it's verbiage, this notion is
that God does not answer prayer but
that you answer your own prayers by
starting certain mysterious thought
currents which react upon your own
personality. That is to say you really
pray to yourself, and then answer your
own prayers. Why not knee down be-
fore a mirror and make your prayers,
without all this esoteric p~alaver? II
men want to worship themseyes-and
some people come dangerously near
to that-why not do so boldly and
simply. without any pretence? AS
for those of is who are content with
a more ~old-fashioned faith, it is
enough to remember that the first
great law Of prayer is to say, "Our
Father" Prayer is not merely an oc-
cult force; it is the working out Of
the Will Of a Personal Father in
heaven, who loves to hear and answer
his children.

SECRET SPRINGS OF POWER.

Life consists in its relationships.
Apart from these, what we call life
would be mere existence. BY the num-
Der Of other lives n other interests
than self, to which a spirit is related,
do we it's worth. He who
is sympathetically related to the great,
living Or dead, we consider great. But
noblest of all is the spirit that is at
tuned to the Infinite. h life best
worth living is the life hat is in
closest relationship with God. Such
a one shares the very interflow Of the
divine nature. Close to God, one can
not be far from all that is most de-
sirable in two worlds.
Mans importantly gives God an op-
portunity.
Nobody's real life is lived in public.
There is no more stupid fallacy than
the one which ssume that the career
which is ever in the popular y is
the best one. All the springs Of hap
piness and power flow from secret
places. 1t is in the shelter 8 of the
home, in the private intercourse of
friend with friend, in the unnoted
communion with the great spirits who
speak through the printed page, that
men and women truly live. n ones
religion is not measured by public &C
Invites, but by the hidden nurture of
soul in the closet of meditation
and prayer.

The magma charta Of the united
prayer is this uttered by Jesus: again
[ say unto you. that If two Of you
shall agree, on earth as touching any
thing that they shall ask, it shall be
lone for them of my Father who is
in heaven For where two Or three
are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst Of them"
Prayers directed toward mans
ears rise higher. He who
makes a good prayer" to be heard
Of man, has his reward in mems
praise; but God never heeds that Kind
of prayer.
Religion is not an ornament to be
worn for mems beholding. but a treas
ure to be hidden in the heart for
Gods eye.
Wherever one a be alone with
God is a suitable prayer-closet. A
recent striking poem in "The Atlantic
Monthly" entitled I'm the Subway"
expresses this. The author Is Charles
Firkins:
I who have lost the stars, the sod,
For chilling pave and cherries light
lave made my meeting place with
God
A new and neither night
Have found a fame where thunder fills
Loud caverns, tremulous; and these
Atone me for my reverend hills.
And mOonlit silence.
A Pigment in the crowded dark,
Where men sit muted by the. roar,
T ride upon the whirring spark
Beneath the city's floor.
In this dim armament the stars
Whirl by in blazing files and tiers;
Kin meteors Craze our flying bars,
Amid the spinning spheres.

Speed, speed. until the quivering rails

Is this wild ride-with God.

Fight Against County High School.

There will be a very stubborn
and hard fight made in the Leg
islature this winter to repeal the
County High School provision of
the educational bill adopted by
the last Legislature. The enc
mics of this feature of the law
claim that the bill works a great
hardship upon the people who
live remotely from the county
seat, that they are required to
pay taxes, to support the County
High School. but are unable to
get the benefits of the same, that
it is taxation without representa-
ton in it's worst form. That the
people who are able to send their
children to the county seat and
board them while the sessions of
the schools continues would be
able also to pay their tuition
while the poor people who are
unable to board their children in
town are deprived of the benefits
of the school and have to pay a
tax to help educate the children
Of parents who are able to edu-
cate them at their own expense.
It is rather a strong position
these people are taking and it
will take all the ingenuity and
ability of the college presidents,
and the Board of Education to
save this feature of the new law
from repeal. The matter prom
ises to be one Of the warmest
fights in the next Legislature.
The value of the High School will
not be disputed, but the method
of their establishment and the
plan of mantainence will be Bit
terly assailed. -E-Town News.

Settled the Duel.

Lord March, afterward the Marquis
Of Queensberry, was not accustomed
to view a duel with unbecoming APP
prehension and usually attended an
affair with an air of enjoyment that
often was decidedly displeasing and
embarrassing to his adversary. But
he was served at last with that sauce
which the proverb explains is for the
gander as well as for the goose. 1t
was when he was challenged to fight
an Irish sportsman. Lord March APP
peared on the ground accompanied by
a second, surgeon and other witnesses.
His opponent arrived soon afterward
with a similar retinue, but added to
by a person who staggered under the
weight of polished oak coffin, which
he deposited on the ground, end up
with its lid facing Lord March and his
party. Lord March became decidedly
uncomfortable when he read the in
scription plate, engraved with his OVID
name and title and the date and year
of death, and peace was patched up.
