The chances are good for tbs
Ohio State league to pcssess an
eight-city circuit. Canton and Ak
ron are the two that are likely To
come into the fold and they will
be given a warm welcome.
There Is a vast amount Of sat!s-
faction for the fans and magnates
alike in this section in the fall OF
the Ohio-Pennsylvania league which
Is imminent. These Ohio-Penners
chased the four western clubs out
of the old league. They claimed
that they could organize new
league that would be a paying
proposition. Marion, Mlns6e-d,
Newark. and Lancaster were class
ed as dead ones.
How things have changed since

held before getting the western cit

to 90. They want to 50 but were

A Dear Dish.


Learning by experience In New
York is expensive business" said an
out of town man. Last night les
con cost me just $3.50 and was cheap
at that. You see, had little dinner
for few friends In private room at
one Of the best restaurants. Every
thing was just right, and | was mighty
well pleased. One thing was especial
ly pretty, and that was the dish OF spun
sugar in which the fruit was served.
It had all sorts OF little flowers and
bowknots sticking out from it, and
every one OF the crowd broke of a
piece to nlbble on. When | went to
pay the bill one item surprised me.
Eight dollars and half for a dish
was something dldu't understand.
What's It forT l asked, pointing to
this Item. And 1t was then and there
explained TO me that a dish OF spun
sugar was just as much the property
OF the establishment as one OF cut
glass fr silver, and any damages must
be paid for. IL was all right enough,
but It was new to ne,"-New York

Akron, o.. March 25-As a result
of the investigation made by At
torney F. r. ordnsDy and others into
former PRESIDENT c. II. Morton's
finances in connection with the o..
land r. league, 1t Is discovered that
the amount standing to Morton's
credit in the National City bank Is
i$1 ,04S, of which 5000 IS due to Nc
ketsport for the safe of Woodruff,
leaving only $74S in the guarntee
fund OF the league. There should
be $4,000 in The guarantee fund be-
sides the 5000 understood to have
been paid Morton for Woodruff,
Akron, Newcastle. East Liverpool,
IMoKeesport and Erie made guaran-
tee deposits while Canton. Youngs,
town and sharon did not.
According to opmsby, Morton did
all of his banking at the National
CITY bank. Morton has claims
against the fund for money ad-
vanced fer umpires' salaries and
other expenses, leaving the finances
Of the league IN a pretty mixed
state which are further involved by
as what money Harry Morton pays

A mother, before retiring for the
night, goes her rounds through the
bedrooms Of her children, making them
comfortable In their beds. One she
tucks carefully in, another she lifts and
makes more easy ON bis pillow, third
she cools by throwing of the heavy
coverlet by which she is oppressed.
And, coming down again to her own
room, she says to her husband, "The
dear unconscious ones! They never
knew that l was near them" But her
ministry was real and beneficial, not
withstanding their unconsciousness.
So OF those angelic attendants whom
God has commissioned to wait upon
his people. They grid US when we
know it not; they sooth US when we
think not Of 1t, and, as on the other
side Of the veil they give their report
to the Master, they too may say,
blessed souls, they did not know that
we had been near them." How much

The whole secret Of friendship, Of
course, lies in sympathy. In friend
ship you must expect nothing and al
ways be giving. To be q good friend
one must be able to listen and to under
stand without being told. With ad-
vancing years friendship grows more
precious and less demonstrative. 1t is
only when we are young that we sit
hand-in-hand with our friends; later in
life we leave much to mutual compre-
hension. If that is absent, then there
is no friendship; with it, the rest mat
ters little.

and Christ. We pride ourselves upon
the attainments we reach in the little

Hark! ten thousand harps and voices
Sound the notes Of praise above;
Jesus reigns, and heaven rejOices;
Jesus reigns, the God Of love.
See, He sits OH yonder throne;
Jesus rules the world alone.
Jesus, hail whose glory brightens
All above, and gives 1t worth;
Lord Of life, Thy smile enlightens,
Cheers, and charms Thy sons Of earth;
When we think Of love like Thine,
Lord, we own 1t love divine.
King Of glory, reign forever;
Thine an everlasting crown;
Nothing from Thy love shall sever
Those whom Thou hast made Thine
own;
Happy objects of Thy grace,
Destined to behold Thy face.

Bring, Obring the glorious day,
When, the awful summons hearing,
Heaven and earth shall pass away;
