steadied himself and threw TO first,
doubling up Crandall. who was more
than half way to second.
There is no doubt that II the ball
had passed Egan II would have gone
10 the fence and the New York play
ers would have tied the score, for
every man on bases would have
reached home With tie score there
Is little doubt, as baseball was going
in those stormy days, that New York
would have won. and II they had won
they might have laughed AT Coveles-
kie. the board OF directors. or anybody
else
Folks said after the game was over
that Egan had made a miraculous
catch. John McGraw said to me In
later DAYS. that just that particular
catch put New York out OF the cham
pionship. Losing the championship
cost them a chance 20 play fer the
worlds championship. so there is rea-
son why Egan's catch should go into
history with unusual fame.
Further than that. think Of the hard
luck OF Merkle. who. had that drive
gone safe TO the fence. would have re-
ceiyed az much. or more credit for
making the home run than he received
criticism for failing 10 touch second
base. Twice within week the fates
had treated him with scantest Cour-
tesv.
That catch cost the New York club
not less Than $4,000. From such small
incidents does history arise. and the
costliness Of the gilt-edged play is an
other valid reason why IL belongs on
the greatest shelf.

New Boss of the Browns Is Relying
On Bailey, However, and Thinks
Howell Will Come Back"

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 27-Jack O'Con-
nor. the new manager OF the Browns,
is on the job with all the spirit and
aggressiveness characteristic of a son
OF Erin. After lying idle for two
months. since the baseball season
closed, he Is now taking active hold
OF the work OF constructing a team TO
play for St. Louis in the coming sea-
son.
The Browns need pitching
strength" said O'Connor. "As long
as have played ball | never saw a
good team that didn't have good
pitchers.
I'm relying heavily on Bill Bailey
next summer. He's a grand pitcher
and for young fellow with none too
much strength he's as game a boy as
ever stood in the box. am hoping
every day he will come here 10 spend
the winter, for he knows that the
climate Of Texas in winter does not
agree with him. For two seasons now
he has reported In poor condition and
IL took half the summer to get him in
shape.
Word has just come from Harry
Howell, who is camping in the woods
OF southern Missouri. that his arm has
apparently healed completely. and SO
far as he can tell, IL Is as strong as
ever. When heard that. could have
hugged him. for II Harry Howell and
Bill Bailey can both report in condi-
tion next spring, II will take a load Of
care of my mind.
II have hopes that two or three OF
the young pitchers coming In will
make good. They tell me Gilligan and
Kinsella are much beyond the aver
age Then we will have Bill Graham.
and he should DE better than ever
next year. Powell and Waddell, OF
course. may be bit slow In getting
into shape Petty, too. may not be
ready for the early games. But on the
whole, the pitching stan is an un-
known quantity on the Browns team
for next year and | am thinking more
about II than anything else.

-Four weeks ago | was ordered
BY President L. P. Hitchcock to
make a tour of southwest Arkan-
sas to investigate the general
sentiment Of the people on dir
ferent organizations. President
Hitchcock said the wonderful
strides we were making in
number was attracting the at
tentlon of the people generally
at home and abroad, and that
we should be sure we were right
and to leave everything to the
people, which | did. President
Hitchcock ordered me to 60 pre-
pared to organize the people In
to what ever they chose, political
ly or any thing else. This is why

beautiful damsel who sets this

belts don't slip, the gasoline give

this report.
Politically, the people say the
republican and the democratic
parties are like the rich-looking
lands of Western Texas and
New Mexico-they promise more
and pay less than any two or
CARNATIONS on earth. Fifty
years experience has proven
this and that the Populist killed
themselves for keeping unre-
formed company, and the Social
lists had nothing to offer in sigh
and from this on they were only
going to work for what was n
sight.
l had two requests to go to
Ebinezer to organize a Socialist
Local. When l got there l found
a small turnout, not the required
number to organize. found a
jolly set of boys and they want

If people want to write up the
history of the human family
they must first understand their
nature and disposition. In order
to do this, you must commence
with the first history of man.
Asia, you understand, is the

ef mass OF the people INTO any
thing that would be to their
interest. 1t was done once in
Switzerland and Europe, but it
can't be done now. There is a
time for every purpose. This is
not the time. The people have
been fooled too much. This is
the time you have got to. City
people theories are dead. That
is why the Sons Of Rest has
cornered all other organizations.
The people of this world are
naturally inclined to be religious,
especially when it does not cost
them anything. Come without
money and without price" is
where the Sons of Rest wins. 1t
is no dues paying organization.
All others are. 1t cites you to
rest here and over there, we as
sumo the right name here. The
other fellow says over there or
in the sweet bye and bye. that
is where they miss it. No or
ganization can prosper at this
age of the world where dues are
demanded. You take the differ
ent ministers Of the churches,
they are cussed more and paid
less than any other people on
earth. Many will be called but
few will be chosen. A few
christian people will pay, others
will not. That is why the
churches adopted the cash sys-
tem-passing the hat before
services, same as on a passenger
train. Something free is what
people want.
From time immemorial, the
la50ein& masses have been or
gaming into Labor, Trades and
farmer unions. They never had
mucilage enough on them to
hold a postage stamp on a letter
until a rural man could get it to
the main office. They could. but
they will not. The majority of
these should be interested, then
cooperation and agitation and
the battle is won.
At one place | went | wanted
to make a special talk for the
Sons of Rest and also the Farm
ers' Union. / could not make
both, so Brother Megs agreed to
make the Union talk. de said
the reason the Farmers Union
had made bat little progress
was because the men who organ
lied the Farmers Union did not
know how to organize farmers.
He said they were not prepared
to organize. He said we farm
ers are a rough uncouth class of
people, thatswe.had to be dealt
with very roughly, that man
to organize a Farmers Union
would have to come with a club,
a billet of wood, that if you ever
got anything into a farmers
head exceptshard work, it would
have to bea.@ pounded into him.
He said the kind of union we
had was worthless. He declar-
ed the Farmers Uuion a farce.
He said the ants, the hornets,
the bees and the yellow Jackets
were better organizations than
the Farmers Union or the
Labor and Trade unions. He
said that youscould not go to any
three unions and rob them of
their products and not get into
trouble about it, He said you
would either have to settle up or
burn the wind. He said the
farmers.delivered all he had to
spare, andl more too, at the

other fellows price. He said
that whether God intended for
the majority of the people to
work on the plan that bees, ants,
hornets and yellow jackets do,
they are doing it just the same
one of each kind sits back and
dictates to all the others. Then
there was great applause by all
and Brother Megs asked me to
ta1e the floor and finish up his
subject. He said that the sub
iect OF the Sons of Rest was IN
every sensible mans head, that
they produce nothing for the
SPECTATORS to get hold Of and
that was the only remedy, Bro.
Megs filled my place more eligible
than | could have. One OF our
scriptual lessons teach Us II any
one should smite you on one
cheek turn the other also. This
leaves me to believe what Bro
Megs said about we must have
rough treatment. The trouble
about thoroughly organizing the
laboring masses is that there Is
too much scripture against them.
The laboring masses are about
the only true believing people
there is in scripture. Our lesson
is, Blessed are the poor IN
spirit" nothing is said of the
rich. Another lesson Now
hardly shall they that are rich
enter the kingdom Of heaven. "
And, Think not today of the
morrow. E" Lay not up treasures
on earth where moth and rust
doth corrupt and thieves break

bic man that reads and believes
what he does read can see why
farmers don't believe it is right

His Wonderful Invention.

Australia, as is well known, is in
tested with rabbits, most destructive
and multitudinous pest. Not long ago
a man invented the following plan:
You go out into the field from which
the rabbits are to be removed. You
saw down tree, and on the slant of
the stump you paint black spot.
Then you keep very quiet, SO that the
rabbits will come back from their bur-
rows and feed as usual. When a
large enough number has collected You
clap your hands sharply. The effect
win be electric. The rabbits will jump
in haste for their burrows. At least
one is sure to mistake the black spot
for his hole and make for it. Invaria-
bly, he will dash his brains out This
process, repeated often enough, Is
warranted to exterminate the rabbit
forever.
The reports do not say whether
there are any rabbits left in Australia.

Origin of "Twenty.Three,

Several explanations have been made as
to the origin OF the slang phrase
"twenty- three" as meaning s'skidoo''- get
out.
Theatrical men claim that it was fir
used a:nong them, and originated from
a combination Of eighteen representing
the number Of parts given to an actor or
actress who had become persona non gedta
to the management, to memorize) and five
representing the number OF weeks in which
the part were to be learned, and during
which the manager took care "she ghost"
failed to walk in the direction of the I'M
fortunate Thespian OF whom be wished to
rid himself.
In horse-racing circles this claim is
ridiculed, and the racing man asserts that
'twenty- three" originated from the num-
Der Of horses entered for Suburban handi-
cap in New York. The number OF entries
in this race was limited to twenty-five,
but on one occasion twenty-three horses
went to the starting post, and one horse
the twenty-third-was ordered off the
field.
Circus men explain the term as the last
item On the programme, which WAS the
chariot race. During the performance the
canvasmen would lie around and sleep,
but when this race was in progress they
| we're aroused by the boss convas-
man calling the number of the act,
| "twenty-three," 30 that they might be
ready for work as soon rs the race was
/ over.
! But now comes an explanation which
gives the phrase biblical origin, as refer
ring to tine expulsion Of Adam from the
Garden of Eden, which is related in the
| twenty third verse of the third chapter OF
| Genesis. 1t reads: ''Therefore the Lord
God sent him forth from the Garden OF
Eden to till the ground from whence he
was TAKEN"
