HE NEVER MISSED.

A Well Paid, Fiery Job That Wears .
Man Out In Fifteen Years.
The man who stood at the lever had
a story that is common all over Amer
lea Ten years before he had been a
peasant lad in a dull little village in
Ireland. Drawn up and along by the
emigrant tide, he had drifted to Chi
cago, and here in the works he had
caught the true spirit of the place,
which is to strain every nerve and
rise. He had risen. His pay was $50
a week. He worked every night from
6 p. m. to 6 a. m, twelve vigilant
hours. Watching those three man.
moth tanks, by the tints and hues in
their columns of fame he could tell
just when to wrench back a lever.
This he did over a hundred times in
the night, and If he missed by so much
as thirty seconds he spoiled thousands
of dollars worth Of steel. He never
missed.
To hold this job is to jam the
strength of a lifetime into fifteen
years-at $50 a week. The man recog-
nized this as a matter of course. only
qualifying it by the remark that he
knew of a redheaded Scotchman at
Homestead who had held it seventeen
years before breaking That his whole
life had been changed; that the little
Irish village. the misty bog and the
novels were back in another age, on
another planet-all this he felt vague
ly and summed it up. with a twinkle.
"Shure," he said. its a terrible quick
spin this ould wurId is afther takin'."
But he loved the fiery job. called the
huge tanks me darlin's" and said he
would rather be what he was than be
president. - Ernest Poole in Every
body'S

field which helped Rock Island win the
pennant. Both players are In fine
shape and ready and anxious to play
ball again. Kelly had his bad thumb
operated on while away this winter
and he says it is now as good as it
ever was
Along with Kelly came two other
Buffalo boys, Fred Fisher, the big
authenticated catcher, and William
Hunter. the outfelder. Grover Eng
man arrived late last night. Tighe
smiled with satisfaction when Engman
reported. as he feels assured he is a
coming pitcher, and that if he doesn't
make good it will be because some
of the other recruits are real phenoms.
Another hurler whose arrival caused
general joy in the Islander camp is
Walter Queisser who was bought
from Memphis in the Southern league
Z. c. Thomas. an outfielder hailing
from Danville, Va, and Mike Gala

cruits, came in from indianapolis with

ported.
More Expected Tomorrow.
There were % Islanders in uniform

park and the squad certainly looked
fine. It will be still further augmented
tomorrow, as nearly enough for an
other full team are expected to report

terry, a first baseman; Davey, short
stop; Kohl, shortstop; Graham. second
base; McIver, left field; Mcdonnell.

Higgins, second base.
Gorom, a first baseman, and Brosi-
Gus, a pitcher. are not expected to re-
port, as they have failed to communi-
cate with the manager since receiving
their transportation, and Tighe has
given them up. Kohl is not due here
until the st. Paul team. with which
he is playing now, gets here April IL.
The latest word from McIver is that
he is going to have his father buy
his release in order that he may re-
main in the south near his own home
BY Sunday, however, the Islanders
will have enough men out in uniform
to make three complete teams

COLORS IN FLAGS.

That Comes Blue.

Red Is the Most Frequent, and After
That Comes Blue.
1t is entirely appropriate of course.
that red, the war color. should appear
so frequently in the flags of the vari-
GUS nations. OF the flags OF the coun-
tries of the eastern hemisphere there
is only one-that of Greece-which
does not show the martial color In
the western hemisphere, however, we
find several standards not showing
red. The flags of the Argentine Re-
public, Brazil. Nicaragua, Guatemala,
Uruguay and Honduras contain no
red.
In this country there is no red in
the union jack or in the flags of the
secretary of the navy, the admiral Of
the navy, the rear admiral senior in
rank and the rear admiral junior In
rank. Red appears in the pennant of
the rear admiral second in rank and
the pennant of the revenue marine.
The United States mail flag also shows
red. and that color is also found in
the remnants for the vessels Of the
lighthouse service. the yacht ensign.
the ensign Of the revenue marine. the
presidents and the secretary of wars
standards.
The flags that are almost entirely
red. except for the devices shown
thereon. are those of Austria Hungary.
Egypt. Morocco and Japan. The flag
of Turkey is practically Of solid red.
After red the prevailing color in flags

What Intermittency Means.

Intermittency is that form of irregu-
larity in which the pulse appears TO
drop a beat occasionally. In some in
stances it occurs regularly and two or
three times per minute for several
hours. Sometimes also it is very ir-
regular and is noted a number of
times within a few seconds and not
again for a minute or more. This pc
culiarity generally causes much IN
easiness. Yet, while it may be a very
serious symptom and associated with
grave and incurable disease of the
heart. it often signifies merely a func-
tional disturbance which is in nowise
dangerous.
