The Volunteer" was published In the San
Fransico Examiner for the first time in
June, just twenty years after the original
appearance In that paper of the original
poem, Casey at the Bat" written by
Phinney Thayer.
The BugviIIe team was surely up against a
rocky game;
The chances were they'd win defeat and
not undyinE fame;
Three men were hurt and two were benohed
the score stood 6 to 4,
They had to make three hard-earned runs
In just two innings more.
1T can't be DONE" the captain said, a
pallor on his face;
'Tve got two pitchers in the field, a mutt
on second base,
And should another man get spiked or Grip
The team would sure be down and out with
eight men left to play.
We're up against it, anyhow, as far as I
can see;
NY boys Amt hitting like they should, and
that's what worries me.
The luck is with the other side, no pennant
will we win;
It's mighty tough. but we must take our
medicine and grin"
The eighth round opened-one, two, three
the enemy went down.
h Bugville boys went out the same-the
captain wore a frown.
The first half OF the ninth came round, two
NOR had been put out,
When Bugville's catcher broke a thumb
and could not go the route.
A deathly silence settled DER the crowd as
sembled there.
Defeat would be allotted them, they felt It
in the air;
with only eight men in the field 'twould be
a gruesome fray,
Small wonder that the captain cursed the
day he learned to play.
Lend me a man to finish with" he begged
the other team.
Lend you a man2" the foe replied; my
boy, you're in q dreaml
We came TO win the p%ennant, too, that's
what we're doing here;
There's only one thing you can do: Call for
a volunteer"
The captain stood and pondered In a list
less sort Of way,
He never was a gutter and he would not
be today;
rs there within the grandstand here" his
voice rang loud ana clear,
"A man who has the sporting blood to be
o volunteer"
And again that awful silence settled DER
the multitude;
was there q man among them with ouch
recklessness imbued7

Here's a case that happened.
The Champions, Mr.. and Mrs, OF Cleve-

homeward journey.
Campion had just discovered tina he was
entirely without funds, except a check
tucked away in his pocketbook-not even a
dime for car fare.
i've spoken to you several times about
such carelessness, " observed Mrs. Campion
in a vexed tone. IF l didn't happen to
have 20 or 80 cents in my purse we'd have
to walk home, for it's too late for you to
get that check cashed. You ought to make
sure that you have change in your pocket
before you get on the street car"
"Oh. we'll, s'lohg as you've got car fare

The car was so nearly filled that they
couldn't get seats together, but sat down
on opposite sides OF the aisle. stlll glaring

When the prize cockerel OF last years

no better looking cage than the birds that
were to enter the arena for the first time,
he was very wroth. He maintained that
from his very worth he was entitled to
more consideration. But the show man
agement was obdurate and insisted that
all pens should be of the same standard
height, the reason being that the manage
ment foresaw that 1t would be necessary to
double-deck the cages to make room for
the additional entries which were pour

DEAD AT HIS KEY.

Ii was General Robert E. Lee who
said that duty is the sublimest
word in the English language, and
the world, by a natural instinct,
joins IN tribute to the man who dies
at the post OF duty.
There have been few instances of
the kind more tragic and more i'm
pressive than the death of Fabius
Larkin at the train dispatcher's key.
II would be difacuIt to overestimate
the importance OF the position held
by the train dispatcher. 1t is he.
who, In the last analysis, directs the
movements OF the scores Of trains
which speed along the network of
tracks In the suburbs, pass and ro-
pass one another when they get out
into the open country. To prevent
accidents he must have clear, cool
head which VIII enable him to act
quickly and wisely in emergencies.
More than any other member of the
great railroad world, perhaps, he
must be eternaIIy on the alert. The
movement and position of trains
must be well in his mind: his trained
ear must be ready for the various
signals which are the cryptic Ian
guage OF transportation.
And it was in this nerve center
OF railroad control that the faithful
employe gave up his life. AS he
reached for the key to give an order
mis- hand trembled and fell palsied
at his side. The, vital spark had
gone II was as il the heart of the
railroad system itself had ceased to
beat. The moving trains, shifting
like q weaver's shuttle, suddenly
found that the sensory nerve had
snapped, and they had to stand still
in wonder and expectation. The
great red eye OF danger glowed on
the signal tower. Up to the last
moment of his life the faithful dis
patcher had executed the proper
movement to prevent fatalities.
When the mystified engineer
climbed the tower to explore the
mystery he discovered that the dis
patcher himself had received hurry
orders from the Supreme Controller
OF the universe
Since the final summons is inevi-
table. how could it come more ap-
propriately than in the very midst
OF duty well done?
Fidelity which extends to the very
brink OF the grave cannot fail to
challenge the admiration of the
world.

to DE true:
They generally begin at seven to eight dol
lers per week.
1T generally takes about three years to
advance to ten or twelve dollars rer week.
at generally takes five to six years more
to advance TO fifteen dollars per week
Not more than ten per cent ever go beyond
fifteen dollars per week.
advance in wages is very rare after ten
years service, except with the ten per cent
who develop peculiarly strong characteristics
and are advanced to administrative petitions.
''ft must be remembered that this covers only
employees who properly be classed as the
best Others begin at three, four, and five
dollars week. and rarely rise above seven or
eight dollars a week.
at seems also true that the younger women
and the better-equipped women crowd out the

or thirtyfive years, and even among the best
few remain after forty forty-five years"

In this issue we commence a series

sectarian, and not intended to build
up any one denomination at the ex-
pense of another. As Beecher and
Talmage of the same ,"City of

to the moulding of public thought,
with charity toward all and malice
toward none," so with Pastor Russell
of the Brooklyn Tabernacle.
Pastor Russell's only fault (if fault

close adherence to the Bible as the
inspired Word of God. But after all,
if the Bible be not mans only chart
and compass as respects God and the
future, what have we? And if this
be so perhaps it is impossible to give
too earnest heed to its teachings. On
one point Pastor Russell is quite en-
phatic, namely-he insists that it is
inconsistent with reason to believe
that all mankind, except the merest
handful of Saints" were predesti-
mated by God to eternal torment in
