TWO FAMOUS BASEBALL UMPIREs.

While not as old in service as Sheridan
it is probable that Francis, otherwise
silk" O'Loughlin, is the most famous
umpire in the junior big league. His
''strike tuhn' is familiar to every follow
err of baseball. He comes from Roches-
ter, New York, known as the 'home of
umpires" by virtue of the fact that no
less than thirty-two residents of that city
are now serving in a similar capacity
throughout the majo and minor leagues.
His nickname silk" was given him when
little boy by his sister in recognition of
his long silky hair, and his playmates, as
he grew up, fixed it on him permanently.
O'Loughlin is known as the strictest dis
ciplinarian in either organization. He
has code of finger and arm signaling
which is respected by every ball-player
in the American league. By merely hold
ing up the index finger of the right hand
O'Loughlin can check effectively the rush
of players who desire to argue with him
relative to the business of his decision,
and it means ruling off the field if they
disregard the warning of that appraised
digit The members Of the teams on the
bench watch O'Loughlin's hands con-
stantly. When there is too much noise
or too loud coaching, "Silk" simply wig
giles his thumb without turning around,
and unless a hush falls over the players
they are banished without further parley.
Timothy ('"Tim'') Carroll Hurst is
known as the wittiest and wealthiest of
umpires. Hurst, who worked his way up
to the American league via half dozen
minor associations, greatly enjoys bit
of repartee with a disgruntled player
who objects to his decisions. 1t is claim
ed by his admirers that "Sir Timothy"
as he is sometimes called, never came
out second best in such encounters of
wit, and a book could be filled with his
funny sayings. But for all his joking
propensities, Hurst is a strict umpire
when on the field. He is rather short,
but very stockily built, and is not so
lively as most of the officials of play.
He is inclined to rule with less exertion
than most of his contemporaries. "Tim"
is recognizable by his rather ''squatty"
appearance and his short and decisive
manner of rendering decisions. E. B.
Moss, in Harper's Weekly.

LATE AUGUST FLOWERS.

| In your country walks have you noticed
buttercup, a red clover, and daisy all
of row by the roadside? And then, ten
to one, you caught the eye Of pert little
dandelion at the edge of the pasture.
When summer begins to grow old she
does what aging humans do-she falls to
musing on her childhood ard murmurs
her thoughts, as it were, in June flowers.
So the dandelion and the clover and the
rest get second season of poisoning,
and though some of them, especially the
dandelion, look a little pinched, as if
thoughts were not quite as satisfactory
as realities, they make pleasant show
along the green ways.
Late August flowers ARE gay enough
with their pinks and yellows, with the
splendors of the goldenrod and the pur-
pie stars of the asters clustering social
ably in odd corners. But there is some
how feeling that they are all little
commonplace; good-natured humble folk
who, though they do their best to be
agreeable, fail to get above certain
level. The wonders Of the fiower-world,
the beings whose coming set the air a
tremble with delight, have gone their
way. The poetic charm of the wild rose,
the splendors of the first red lily-what
|
partly because they were first and we
hadn't got over the beautiful surprise of
seeing flower shining at us from road
side nook. 1t seems rather ungrateful
not to be as pleased with the cheerful
August company of blossoms as we were
with the Mayf1owers and violets and
roses, yet the feeling persists in coming.
But wait moment! What have we
been saying? All the fiower-wonders
gone by? Just step along this little trail
that goes down through the alder and
willow bushes. By the looks of things it
should lead to some pretty waterside re-
treat.
So it does, and there are flowers here,
too-white arrowhead and the gay colors
of the loose-strife. But these belong to
the commonplace flower-folk we have
been speaking of. Do you see nothing
else? What is this, right here where sill
yer ripples rock the broad, green leaves
that lie like fairy crafts on the water?
All, that white and gold cup of incense
such as the gods might think themselves
lucky to receive is one of the flower
wonders that hasn't gone by yet. If
summer wants to renew her youth she
should linger here and breathe the breath
of the water lily, ga white river lily, a
lily awake and aware" Or if any tired
human plodder wanted to get little bit
of unworldly wisdom he might come here
in the stiffness and rest to find it.
"For," said 81 have not met,
White one, any folk as ct
Who would send no blessing up,
Looking on face like thine;
For thou art like Joseph's cup,
And by thee they might divine"
Lewiston Sun.
