MATTYS "FADEAWAY."

'sThose persons who imagine that
baseball is a snap or some special

wandered out on to the training field
a few days later, where nearly forty
men were hard at work. Over at one
side graceful, handsome, boyish look
ing man was throwing slowly and
with evident caution to a young catch
er. Slowly, and studying every move
in order to avoid jerking or twisting a
damaged shoulder, he kept pitching,
trying to throw the soreness OUT He
had drawn a little cross in the dirt
upon which he pivoted his right foot,
and two feet in front of that and a
foot to the left was hole in the sand.
AS he threw he swung off his Stride
and, instead of planting his left foot
straight in front, he swung it into the
hole to the left. He had changed his
pitching motion to accommodate the
sore shoulder and prevent adding to
the strain. Presently he swung his
arm slowly overland. The ball floated
away, seemed to hesitate in midair,
then dropped downward and TO the
right with a slow, twisting curve mo-
tion.

II had read OF the fadeaway' and
believed it one of the spring nature
fakes evolved by imaginative report
ers. But il was true. Mathewson,
realizing that he might never again be
strong enough to pitch the fast jump
ball or the wonderful fast curve that
had made him the greatest pitching
sensation of years, had deliberately
set to work and by steady, persistent
practice had evolved a new system Of
slants' by which he came near revolu-
tioniZing pitching. Hour after hour,
despite the deadening pain in his shoul-
der, he kept at it. Pitching, pitching,
twisting his hand a little less, little
more, then ten times to a spot two
inches to the left or the right, to find
how the change in stride would affect
the ball, he worked until he developed
one OF the most puzzling curves ever
pitched. How many hours of suffer
ing and hard work were required to
perfect his fadeaway and make him
again one Of the greatest pitchers no
one knows"

LOOKING FORWARD.

A Chicago school architect is of the
opinion that, within fifty years, the
schoolhouses for that and other cities
will be situated away out in the SUBJ
urbs, or in the country. Jules Bots, a
French writer, makes an even holder
prophecy, and says the great cities of
the future will be practically uninhab-
tied, except for business purposes. All
classes, rich and poor alike, will dwell
in the country, or in garden cities for
residence purposes only, access to
which will be cheap and rapid, owing
to the development of pneumatic
railways or flying bicycles. After
nightfall, the cities will be deserted,
except for policemen, firemen, and,
perhaps, theatre crowds. Thomas A.
Edison, Americas greatest inventor,
says we are just on the verge of the
development Of mechanical and elec-
trical invention. This is the greatest
age in the greatest country the world
has ever known. OF the future, We
can only guess, but pleasant prophe-
sizes are best, and probably most likely.

which would soon pass of, but after an
hour or two when they seemed to be
relapsing into . total collapse, he grew
anxious and sent for the head scout
and asked what had happened. The
scout said that nothing had happened
affecting them or that expedition.
Crook replied:
II know that, or you would have
told me long ago, but something has
happened. What is it,"
After considerable persuasion the
Indian said:
"Long Hair and all his men have
been killed by Inkpaduta. Not one Of
them is left alive" Qnkpaduta was a
very bad chief whom many Of the In.
dams hated as we'll as all of the whites
and commanded one of the bands at
the Custer fight.)
Gen. Crook said that he tried every
means that he could think of to find
out how the Indians had received that
information but all that he could ever
get from them was that they got it in
the Indian way. Crooks camp was
200 miles from the Custer battlefield
and it was the same afternoon that the
Indians knew the result. What made
the scouts so depressed was that they
thought that the white people would
take a terrible revenge and perhaps
kill all of the Indian people.
Gen. Crook said that he was certain
that that news was not conveyed by
heliographing, an art in which Indians
are very expert, using small mirrors
for their instruments, for the contour
Of the country was such as to make
that impossible, nor by smoke signals
or in any other way of which white
people had any knowledge.

THE FUTURE.

Our future is made by purpose and
by chance. Daily We pass into an un-
discovered country. Daily we try in
vain to guess what undiscovered coun-
try holds; what of allurement, what of
dread. It is only in fable that men or
witches look into the seeds of time, and
say which grain will grow; or read the
book Of fate, and see the continent melt
into the sea. Shakespeare never weari-
ed Of the subject-the fascination of
the unknown, and how unknown, in
deed, it is. So much does the unex-
petted weigh, that a wise man can

wisdom is not in forecast, but living

by the present. 1t is true sufficiently
to make effort, hope and faith the bet

all its woe, grows happier; with all its
ignorance, more enlightened; with it,
error, more virtuous and just; and in
this painful, slow, and steady progress
we know that each of US can help.

of these things was often a subject of

no more after we had finished talking
about it than we did when we began.
The swiftness with which information
is spread among Indians separated by
great distance is a wonder to all men
who have been on the plains in those
times. Harris records that Indians
around Bismark knew Of the Custer
defeat the same day that it occurred
while the whites knew nothing about
it until the steamboat bringing the
wounded arrived there many days
afterward, and there are many other
instances, all we'll authenticated, of the
same kind. General Crook told me
that on the afternoon of the day that
Custer was killed, he noticed that his
Indian scouts were all in q state of
melancholy and so terribly depressed
were they that he knew something
dreadful had happened.
All persons at all acquainted with
Indians know that they are subject to
spells of melancholy, ''having the
dumps" as the whites who associate
with them call it. At first, Crook
said, he thought that the scouts were
just having q spell of the dumps"
