pitcher can make all sorts of trouble
for catcher. or he can make his
work comparatively easy. Sometimes
have noticed that my catcher was
having troubles and working too hard

tried to ease up on him by changing
the style of pitching. II may be only
a superstitious fancy. but It seems 10

morning paper to have her eye caught
by the advertisement headed: Why
Pay Rent?" a contractor had erected
severa! houses which he was anxious
TO dispose Of for a cent or two down
and the balance, the same as cheap
rent. In year or two. paying the
very lowest rent in America. the pur.
chaser OF one OF these houses would
have clear title to it. II was better
than a gold mine. Your money was
working for you every day in the
week.
Before the bride had read that ad.
vertisement through. she had deter
mined to show it 10 James that eve
ming. When she had finished it her
mind was made up TO give him a glad
surprise. The breakfast things had
scarcely been cleared away when she
donned her hat and set out She found
the street and the houses and the
philanthropist. The houses had been
painted with only one coat. but that
was TO give purchasers a chance TO
put on the last coat TO suit their
tastes. The houses about covered the
lots, but that was an advantage. II
hogs got in there was no place for
them to root. Every objection raised
was met and turned 10 the advantage
of the buyer. In fact, It was a case OF
philanthropy all through.
Mrs. Carter expected up to a Ger.
tain point to get the house she had
decided on for five cents down and
FIVE dollars month as rent That Ger.
tain point was when she was told
that she must pay $50 down and SIS
per month. The selling price was ST..
500. and as she stood with her mouth
open the contractor remarked that the
SIS per month would pay for the house
almost before she could get settled.
He had given so different persons
the same chance. and in a very few
minutes-or days-they were house
owners and tax payers.
The house was bought. There would
be papers for herself and husband to
sign after two or three days, but she
had to leave her $50 then and there.
That was to prevent the contractor
from selling the house to some one
willing to pay $4,000 for 1t.
