The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1910-07-02

Probably the only baseball manager
in the world who is literally blind
not as those who having eyes see not,
but absolutely sightless-is Bert Tay-
lor, manager of the Jackson Stars of
Jackson, Mich. This blind manager
handles his team frem the bench. His
men swear by him and do better work
before his sigatless eyes than when
working under the supervision of a
man who can watch the plays. But
Taylor does watch the plays. He sits
on the bench with his men and knows
just what plays are made. He knows
at all times the record Of balls and
strikes on the batter and never fails
to recognize a foul With almost I'M
canny intuition he can tell, possibly
from the sound of the ball against the
bat, the field to which the ball has
been batted. He argues point with
the umpire just as earnestly as though
he had seen the entire play, and his
howl of protest aaginst decision is
just as vigorous as any fan could de-
sire. His team won the City league
pennant in 1908 and this year has won
% games out of a total of 25.

Mickey" Doolan of the Phillies
tough of name, walk and actions, is q
Jekyn and Hyde-a leader of double
lives. Mickey Doolan is only base
ball alias, assumed to make him pop,
ular with the Irish rooters, and the
fierce swagger, unshaven chops and
uncouth behavior, strongly reminiscent
of the sand lots, are all well-studied
fake. In private life the fierce fel
low is Mr.. NJ. ]. Doolittle, college
graduate, polished gentleman and
alas! not even an Irishman.

EVEN COLLEGE GRADUATES.

There has been a committee of
prominent citizens formed in Boston
for the purpose of cleaning up the
city so far as political and business
corruption is concerned, and Lincoln
Steffens, the author, has been re-
tained to make the investigation. The
results of his undertaking inquest will
be brought out in 1913 in a book
called Boston, 49," There has been
quite a stir over the fact that the
first few chapters of the book are
said to involve some members of the
committee by which he is employed
"You are certainly going to make
known some startling facts" said
some one the other night to Mr.. Stef-
fens, referring to the forthcoming
book.
YES" replied the author-investiga-
ter, "and what is more, I expect to
make things so plain that even coll
lege graduate can understand them"

THEY SHOULD TAKE TT.

Candidates for the legislature who
refuse to subscribe to statement No.
are setting their sails for a course
that will be difficult for them to fol-
dow with success. The people OF
Oregon believe firmly in the propo-
sition that senators should be elected
by direct vote Of the people. At the
last election they voted by majority
Of nearly $4,000 in favor OF this prin-
cfpIe. It is too bad the law that was
enacted does not contain a penalty so
II would be mandatory.
But the law contains no penalty SO
II Is UP to those who believe in d.
rect election Of senators to require
legislative candidates to take state
ment No l. This statement Is mere
Iy a pledge that in the event Of cleo
tion a legislative candidate will vote

THE HIGHER pANTHEIsM.

Next to Browning, Tennyson was
the greatest religious poet of the last
century in England and for the larg-
er number of persons he exercised a
greater influence, for his thought is
usually clearly expressed. Perhaps
this is not strange. since he was the
son of country clergyman, at SOM
erby, Lincolnshire.
The sun. the moon, the stars, the
seas, the hills. and the plains
Are not these, o Soul, the vision of
him who reigns?
Is not the vision he? tho ne be not
that which he seems-
Dreams are true while they last and
do we not live in dreams?
Earth, these solid stars, this weight
of body and limb
Are they not sign and symbol of thy
division from him?
Dark is the world to thee; ,thyself art
the reason why;
For is he not all but thou, that has
power to feel Il am l."
Glory about thee. without thee; and
thou fulfillest thy doom
Making him broken CLEANS, and a
stifled splendor and gloom.
Speak to him thou for he hears, and
spirit with spirit can meet
Closer is he than breathing, and
nearer than hands and feet.
God is law, say the wise; o Soul, and
let us rejoice.
For if he thunder by law the thunder
is yet his voice.
Law is God, say some; no God at all
says the fool;
For all we have power to see is a
straight staff bent in a pool
And the ear of man can not hear, and
the eye of man can not see:
But if we could see and hear, this
Vision-were it not ne?
-Tennyson.

THEY WILL USE THE WATER.

Surely the day of the mammoth
Farm is passing and the era of closer
development is near at hand. On top
OF the news that six different irri-
cation schemes are now being con-
sidered in this section of the county
comes the statement of G. o. Richard
son of Adams that 5000 acres in the
neighborhood of his town may be
watered by means of we'll irrigation.
In the view of the East Oregonian
Mr. Richardson is entirely right in
his statement only he has been con-
servative in saying that 5000 acres
may be watered. II is probable that
most all the land lying between PEN
eleton and the foothills may be re-
ciaimed in this manner.
IT is also reasonable to believe that
the next few years will see most of
that country watered in this man.
ner Prices of wheat land have gone
50 high that something must be done
If values are to be maintained. There
Il a limit to the value of land that i,
used merely to raise a biennial cror
Of wheat Farmers are now realiz.
tng this more than they have In the
.pest.
But IL the farmers in the vicinit!
Of Adams will but make use OF tn,
opportunity to water their land the,
will have the pleasure Of seeing theil
property greatly enhanced in value
Land that will raise annual crops ant
such vegetables as Mr.. Richardson
mas been raising on his little trac
near Adams is really worth five time,
as much as wheat land or more. Thi
being the case and in view Of the fac
that the water is to be had and a
an easy depth in that country it 4
safe to say that the Transformation
will soon take place.
Every year the Adams farmers d.
without water and devote their tim,
t. exclusive wheat raising reflects up
on their enterprise and upon thei
ability as business men.

WOMAN. LOVELY WOMAN.

When good Professor Knowit saw that
every sanitary law
Was set at .nought when women
sought
To cinch their ribs too tightly.
He laid aside the teaching trade and
proved to them that corsets
made
Ingrowing nerves and ugly curves,
Most shockingly unsightly.
The women heard, agreed and wore
Their corsets, like they did before.
When Doctor Ptomaine found ice
cream upset the gastronomic
scheme
Rv subtle stealth, broke down the
health
And ruined the complexion.
He told young women that the way
to stave off premature decay
without a doubt was to cut out
That lush, trapped confection.
They thanked the doctor most pro-
found
And ordered up another round.
When Reverend Helpem heard the
news that rats were made
from Chinese queues
With various forms of germs in
swarms
And shoals and legions laden,
He set the facts before the girls who
wore transformers. puffs and
curls
Which now adorn the coiffures worn
By many a stylish maiden.
The maidens thanked the reverend
gent
And wore their rats in calm content.
Perhaps you fondly think that you
can teach a woman what to do
In ways of dress to make her less
Well, say we call it funny,
But, ere your cash you rashly blow
to teach her what she ought
to know,
You'd better pause a while, because
Mayhap twill save you money.
She knows all you can tell her, still
When she decided she will SHE WILL.

HIS PIOUS REASON.

Mrs. Rose Pastor Phelps-Stokes, in
an address in Chicago. said of the ex-
travagance of the rich:
"Apoligists for the rich say that
their wicked extravaganza - their
dinners at 800 plate, their $4,000
balls-do good to the poor. Well, that
is ludicrous.
THAT reminds me Of a little boy
in the country The farm where he
was staying adjoined an orphanage.
There was an apple orchard behind
the barn, and here, morning, noon and
night, the little boy stuffed himself
gluttonously with apples.
Jimmy said his mother one af-
ternoon, aren't you eating rather too
many apples?'
but 1 got to, ma the boy replied.
"'Got to! why?' his mother asked.
"'Because the orphans need the
cores ne said piously.

HER LITERARY BENT.

Mrs. Virgins, who makes books
about "Penlope" in foreign places, is
in London now. Her first caller was
an interviewer, who paused in the
doorway and, with pencil poised, ask
ed, "And what do you think of Lon
don, Mrs. Wiggins?''
You remind me of the young lady
who sat beside Mr.. Gibbon at dinner"
the author remarked genially. "She
turned to him after the soup and said,
DO, dear Mr. Gibbon. tell me about
the decline and fall of the Roman
empire"

VERY SIMILAR.

The story of the Umatilla Indian,
Sam Sturgis. and his faithless squaw
reads like a scandal in high society
His erstwhile wife grew tired of his
affections and so notifies him in as
many words that she has another af-
finity and will henceforth have moth
ing to do with Sam. Her method of
procedure may be crude but her ac-
ton does not differ essentially from
the course taken by many society wo-
men and society men. When a Mrs.
Astor or Mrs Vanderbilt wishes a
separation from her husband so that
she may marry another she usually
goes abroad and in the interval has
her lawyer secure a divorce for her.
Her methods are somewhat more re-
fined than those of the Indian wo-
man from Nez Perce but after all II
amounts to the same thing. Take
away the thin veneer of civilization
and the squaw and the society ma
tron look the same Humanity is
much alike the world over and especi-
ally is there much in common between
those at the bottom of the pile and
those in the frothy top.

TRAINED ANTS.

John w Coughlin of Ellsworth
known as Hancock county's natural
list, has demonstrated what patience
and perseverance will accomplish and
has also exploded the Old time theory
that it was impossible to teach any,

the human voice and action. Some
time since he had the good fortune 70
discover a hill Of Madagascar neurop-
terra, or marching ants. They are

HONEY IN SWITZERLAND.

Switzerland is a land Of flowers
and it's thrifty inhabitants have made
the blossoms very largely contributory
to the food supply.
According to statistics gathered by
the Swiss Society of Agriculture
there are 250.O00 hives or colonies of
bees in the country, each of which
produces 40 pounds of honey during
the season, a total of 10000 900
pounds a year. The average price of
Swiss honey for the year 1903 was
25 cents a pound, giving the years
product total value Of S2,500, 900"
AS the flowers grow without cultiva-
tion and the bees work without wages
other than caretaking, producing their
own food supply the honey crop is in
great part clear profit.-Philadelp
