WON IN A WALK.

(By Harry Won Setzer)
She turned away in coyness as her
sweetheart grabbed her mitt.
He was handsome youth, but still he
didn't make a hit.
She couldn't see him nowhow and she
told him for to git
'There amt no use in hanging round
here james,"
"All right old girl" the youth did say
and looked into her eyes.
"Tve got two seats to see the Cubs
and Philadelphia guys.
I bought them for you, sweetheart
Just to spring a slight surprise.
But I'll have to take another to the
games"
Then her heart grew light and gay
And the love lights gentle ray
Within her eyes did play.
AS to him she did say
CHORUS:
IL think I'll stick around little while
Them ducats certainly look good
to me.
You've got the other fellers skinned
mile
And true to you forever I will be.
Believe me. Jamesy dear you'll do foi
mine,
And you needn't hang around Will
other DANES.
My throbbing heart forever will be
thine
If you'll only take me out to see then

cAMNITz LOSES BONUS.
President Dreyfuss of Pittsburg Club
CHARGES Pitcher With DRINKING.

Pitcher Howard Camnitz of the
Pittsburg Club has got himself into
disfavor with the officials of the club
and, incidentally will lose bonus of
$1,000 which was promised him, pro-
vided he abstained from drinking in
toxicants during the season of 1910.
"The Pittsburg Club" President
Dreyfuss says "entered into contract
with Camnitz in good faith, and every
official sincerely hoped that the youns
man would earn the bonus, believing
that proper living on his part would
make him one of the best pitchers of
the league.
"Camnitz violated the rules of the
club in 1908 and 1909 and for that rea
son we hesitated about accepting his
promise to refrain from drinking this
year, and therefore held out the gem
erous financial inducement. believing
this plan might help him to correct
his habits.
Manager Clark signed Camnitz last
Spring, and at the time promised the
player that both parties to the agree
ment would get strict justice from him.
'If you drink, don't expect to collect a
cent" the manager told the pitcher.
"Camnitz understood my position
I clearly. and if innocent he had no rea-
son To run away from me-" Manager
Clarke says. notwithstanding all the
evidence i'm our possession. Camnitz
had every reason to believe, that If he
had waited in Pittsburg and had asked
for a hearing would have listened to
his defense and would have gladly in
vestigated his statements

Women Can't Hold Office.

Uutil the laws of Missouri are
changed a woman cannot hold a
state office. Miss Elizabeth Thomp-
son, secretary of the Kansas City
Socialist Club, wanted to make the
race this fall for superintendent of
public instruction but her applica-
ton for place on the general tick
ct as the candidate of the Socialist
party was not filed by Cornelius
Roach, Secretary of State, in Jeffer-
son City. An examination of the
law disclosed the requirement that
candidates for state offices be men
more than Is years old. Miss
Thompson received notice from
Jefferson City that her application
for a place on the Socialist ticket
had been withheld merely because
she was a woman. Another candi-
date will be named by the Social
lists to fill the vacancy. Miss
Thompson was nominated for super
intendent of public instruction in

once more Orio's father consults his
wife and sundry other relations, and.
having no fault to find with the go

known as the "look-at.each-other meet

and bridegroom at the house of the

The meeting usually takes the form

Matchmaking of Japanese

Mr. Orio Tamura, as we will call
our young gentleman, is about twenty
years old, an article in the Wide
World says. He is an up-to-date jap
"nese, and has put off all thoughts of
matrimony until this comparatively
late date-for Japan-in order to fin
ish his university studies. Now, how
ever, he has finished his training, and
has intimated 10 his father, as duti-
full son should, that he would like to
marry. That is all he is required to
do, at present; 1t is the business of
his parents to take the next step.
Orio's father, presumably, has some
quiet talks with his wife on the sub
ject, and then betskes himself to a
professional matchmaker, or go-be-
tween. These marriage brokers are a
class apart-discreet men of the
world. with a good deal OF insight in
to human nature. For the sake of
his own reputation and future the
go-between usually does his best to
please all parties.
Sometimes, in the east as in the
west, love laughs at restraints, and
somebody or other conveys hint to
the marriage broker that meeting
between Mr.. A and Miss Z
might not be unacceptable to both;
In which case the task is easy. Usual.
ly. however. he takes time to look

Everywhere along this portion of their
