cused his wife of attentions to other

The Need For Fathers.

The crying want of the age is good
fathers. Notfathers who willtoi night
and day in order to amass a COM
petence for their children, but faith
ers who will give themselves to their
growing sons. The only boy that Is
safe is the boy whose saved father
makes Of him a confdant, a playmate
and a friend. Let some one else
teach the boy his multiplication Ia
bles; the Christian father must teach
him how to spin his top, and fly his
kite, and trundle his hoop. Let
somebody else, If need be, teach the
lad his algebra, but let no II ez-
cept the father teach him how to bait
a hook, and build a fire and dress his
first SINNER" Let some outsider
teach him the Greek alphabet, but
no one except his own father should
teach him how to pitch a ball, or
vault a pole, or load a gun.
The most precious opportunities OF
life are those offered to the parent to
enter alphabetically into the life CT
a child by means of the pleasures
which are native to youth. The bus
lest man in the world can far better
afford to neglect his business than to
neglect his boy. His most sacred
duty is to keep in touch with the lad.
Somebody, if not his father, will be
his intimate, and so his pattern.

will. in design and plan, express his

JOE TINKER OF CHICAGO CUBS

SCORES.
EY JOE TINKER.

Copyright, 1870. by Joseph E. Bow'es.,
Playing for one run at a time, and
making sure Of that one, is the way to
win at baseball. The day Of big bat
ting averages is over and the team
that can advance steadily and
work together at the bat. and on the
bases, Is the winner. In the first place
the pitching has become so good that
one run counts for twice as much as
1t did even ten years ago-and the
first run in a game counts for more
than that.
l think a team wins that has a good
man, especially a good waiter. who
also can hit, leading of. If the first
mai up in a game gets TO first, Is sac
rilced down, and either of the next
two batters can get him home, that
game is almost won right there. The
other team is handicapped, is unable
to play as ~resourceful and mixed up a
game as 1t could do If ahead, or on
equal terms, while the team that IS
leading can take chances and vary the
style of attack, standing a much bet
ter chance Of making more runs SIM
ply because 1t can afford to take
chances, while the other team must
play 9 desperate defensive game. play
close and take desperate chances to
cut off runs.
The Cubs have won three pennants
by playing for one run at a time, be-
cause their pitchers have always held
the other teams down 70 low scores,
and / think we have the best team at
making the one run that ever vas or.
ganized. The way to get that one
run is to have a resourceful attack,
and to keep outguessing the other
team all the time and never allow the
style Of play to become machine-like.
BY that I mean to hit the first ball
when the pitcher is expecting you to
wait, to walt when he expects
you to hit and to wait him out to
the limit II he shows any
signs Of u~nsteadiness. We fire.
quently wait out pitchers for three or
four innings, perhaps without getting
a hit or a base, and then switch
the system and hit the first ball that
comes over. We fight all the time
to get that first man on bases. Then,
II the opening Is made, we change the
game and try to surprise. the other
team. If they are creeping IN, expect
ing bunts, we may switch and play hit
and run. 1t Is merely trying to do the
unexpected, and u whole scheme OF
attack is based on getting one run

They are about $50 miles in extent n

bodies. During the prosecutions OF the
Christians under Nero and other no
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tan the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
in the face Of the day. The art OF the
catacombs Is unique and most inter.
esting. Simple designs are etched In
the slabs which seal the tombs. Now

combs may be said to be a pictorial
