BATTERS NEED
PLENTY OF NERVE
Stand Up to the Plate if You
Expect to Hit the Ball
WHEN In SLUMP
START THE CHOPPING

Confidence, nerve and good eyesight are
essential for success in batting. A man
should 90 up TO the plate with the idea
that he Is bound TO hit. .ie should give
the pitcher credit for having something
and be prepared 10 match his own clev-
erEess against It. II takes nerve 10
stand up against the ball and steo into
it. but that Is what batsman must show.
The minute you begin TO pull away, the
pitcher knows that ne has something on
you. and likely ds not he viii get you.
When a man lets a fast one go by his
head without winking, however, and
stands up looking the pitcher in the eye,
It gives him something ION his oppo-
nents.
II the man on the mound wastes one
at your head just get out Of the way and
edge a little closer to Che plate to show
him that such tactics aren't going Ia
worry you. Then he viii pitch ball and
you win get a good one next time. Every
one that Is wide Is a ball against the
pitcher and BENEFITS you that much. Some
batsmen make a mistake IN trying tc
get the pitcher in hole all the lime. II
is best 10 slam the first good one when
there are men on bases. The system. how
ever, might not always work out. II Is
case Of a mans judgment, many times
but II seems that as you only can hii
one any way, It might just as well be the
first one that comes where you like
n.
There are many things 70 be consid-
cred IN batting. The score the stage OF
the game. the number Of men on bases
and so on through long cahpter. No
batsman can be thinking Of himself alone
for the principal object IN baseball is "a
win games and not 10 fatten up batting
averages. There are lots Of teams that
make a pile Of hits. but few runs. Bunt-
ing is a fine thing 20 get ones eve on the
ball one must meet them squareiy tc

the course OF the sphere all the way

wild Bill" Crouch is home again.
Bill blew in yesterday afternoon with
his unconditional release from the
St Louis Americans. The only ex-
PLANTATION given Bill was that he had
not enough experience.
OF course there are few baseball
men IN this town who viii put their
experience up against Jack O'Con-
ner's. but those of them who know
something about the game and the
men who play IL declared today that
Crouch had not been given a square
deal by the ST. Louis bunch In his
first game with the team, which by
the way, was the first big league game
he ever pitched Bill allowed but six
hits and saved his team a defeat.
Through fright, perhaps, he bungled
three. but all in all Crouch is given
credit for having worked we'll.
Bill is home again, but II is not
likely that he will remain here since
getting a look in big company. It is
understood that several Tri-State
managers are after him and II the
terms can be made satisfactory Bill

CHANGE IN ROYAL OATH.

Observation-Disclosures with the
imposing ceremonies of the conseCra-
ton of the Roman Catholic cathedral
at Westminster, there was introduced
in parliament a bill altering the sover-
eign's oath of accession, SO that a pos
tive affirmation of Professionalism can
be made without an affront to the
12,000,000 Roman Catholic subjects.
The prime minister has not played
with this controversial subject, but has
offered a sensible substitute for an an
archronism which was unnecessarily
offensive. Both A, J. Balfour and John
Redmond welcomed the proposed al
iteration, and it will be enacted with
out doubt. but not without strenuous
resistance from the Protestant ex-
tremistS.
The measure passed its first reading
by vote of $50 to AZ. The doctrine
of the Roman Catholic Church is not
singled out for reputation, but it is
simply affirmed that the sovereign is
faithful Protestant The paragraph
as amended reads
/ do solemnly and sincerely in the
presence of God profess, testify and
declare that L am faithful member
of the Protestant church as by law es-
tablished in England, and 1 shall, &C
cording to the true intent of the en-
actments which secured Protestant
succession to the throne of my realm,
uphold and maintain the said enact
ments to the best of my powers and
according to law.

LOYALTY AT HOME.

A young girl, attending a school at
some distance from her home, was one
day in her room surrounded by COM
panions who were busted with en-
broidery and bits of fancy work. Some
one asked for needle, and the young
hostess brought a needlecase. AS she
offered it the one who had made the
request glanced at it with a slight
laugh and a perceptible lifting of eye
brows. It was an inartistic, old-fash-
Toned, homely little needlecase, but its
owner drew it back almost as if the
look had been blow, and smoothed it
with caressing fingers as she said:
My mother made it"
There was love, loyalty and touch
Of defiance in the words. What did
these gay girls know of the plain, lit
tie home and the dear, old-fashioned
mother whose toil-worn fingers had
sewed the bits of ribbon together and
shaped them into a gift for her girl?
The daughter saw it all as in a vision.
These stylish young friends were well
enough, but the old home and those it
held were the dearest treasures on
earth, and no sneer should touch them
of their ways in her presence Word
and action showed the fiber of the girl.
Had She been weaker or less loving.
she would have been ashamed of her
little possession and the home condi-
tons it represented, and If she did not
disown or apologize for it she would
at least have kept it carefully out of
sight thereafter

KA1sER,s LOVE FOR BIBLE.

Berltn.-In his usual way, Kaiser
William II frankly expressed his opin.
ion recently on matters religious. He
was speaking to a clergyman of Schir.
menitz, to whom he said that he
Loves" to read the Bible every night
and has copy of 1t on a table beside
his bed. And his majesty continued:
Il find the most beautiful
thoughts expressed in it, [ cannot
understand how it is that so many
persons pay so little attention to
Holy Scriptures. Can any one read
the Gospels and other parts of the
Bible without feeling convinced that
they contain simple truth, we'll au-
thenticated and established on un-
questionable facts?
Whenever 1 have to come to any
decision, [ ask myself what the Bible
would teach me to do in that partic-
ular case. The Bible is to me the
fountain from which I draw light
and strength in the hours of sorrow
and depression. 1 seek consolation in
the Bible, and 1 am convinced that
many who have neglected religion
feel the need of communion with the
Almighty if they study it.
Periods of dangerous doubt have
always produced in their wake periods
of enthusiastic religious feeling. I
cannot understand how life can be
lived without real communion with
the Almighty. We all must 90
through Gethsemane. There are
hours and hours in which our pride
is Inundated 1t is difficult for MS
to be meek, for each one of us de-
sires to be his own master"

EARLY IRISH sCHOLARsHIp

In his history of the Monks of the
West, Montalembert pays an eloquent
tribute to the early Irish missionaries.
We know that wherever those Irish
monks went they founded colleges and
monasteries. They laid the founda-
ton of modern culture and ctviliza-
ton, which has been conclusively
proved by the researches of German
and Celtic philogists. thinner in his
work on The Irish Element in Me-
diaeval Culture says of the Irish
missionaries:
They were instructors in every
known branch of science and learning
of the time, possessors and bearers of
a higher culture than was at that pc
riod to be found anywhere on the con-
tinent, and can surely claim to have
been the pioneers have laid the
cornerstone Of western culture on the
continent, the rich results of which
Germany shares and enjoys today. in
common with all other civilized ma
TONS"
The Irish monks carried the Gospel
and the torch of learning to what are
today the great nations of Europe.
Sedulius, who has been called the
Christian Virgil, invented rhyme in the
fifth century. His name was O'Sheil.
Virgilius, who discovered the rotundi-
ty of the earth 700 years before Cor
pernlcus was born, was bishop of
Saltzburg. Who was Virgilius? He
was an 1rishman by birth and educa-
ton, and his name was O'Farrell. In
triumph and defeat the Irish have
been devoted to Faith and Fatherland
Tor more than a thousand years.

startling power of self-revelatiOn. We
may judge that we are pretty decent,
well-behaved folk until some little
pitfall or stumbling stone reveals the
essential weakness of the structure of
self-respect we have so carefully
built The shame OF the tumble may
be a decided benefit, or it may only
confirm a chronic bad habit. The
crotchety, eccentric, unreasonable
class, who are a special trial to
others, have generally arrived at this
condition by yielding to the tyranny
of trifles exaggerating small annoy
ances, growing over little defects,
nursing their self-love and pettish-
ness inversely to the size of LIES con-
veniences. Little freakish exasperat-
ing torrents have made them big
torments to others.
1t is the malign purpose of trifles
to overthrow our pretenSions and
humilate our self-conceit If we heed
their warnings, they may be the sig
nal service to our moral growth. a
kind of mental vagabondage comes
from the perpetual consideration of

Warning to parents to keep young
folks from attending social affairs
that last until late at night and into
the morning was recently sounded
by the priests in the Church of the
Holy Cross, Harrison, New York.
The moral influence of such affairs
was declared to be bad and parents
were cautioned to heed the warning
which follows: I'VE caution all par
ents against allowing their children
to attend trolley midnight parties
that leave our towns at late hours
for distant halls, groves and picnic
grounds and which starting from

THE HUMORIsTs WTsDoNI

Mark Twain once said that in his
earlier days he did not enjoy the ex-
ceptional prosperity which came later
in his career. 1t is commonly the lot
of genius to suffer neglect at first, and
the experience did not affect his abid-
ing good nature. In conversation
with William Dean Howells on one oc-
casion the subject of literature vicissi-
tudes was preached by the humorist.
My difficulties taught me some
thrift" he observed. But 1 never
knew whether it was wiser to spend
my last nickel for a cigar to smoke or
for an apple TO devour.'
Il am astounded," observed Mr..
Howells, that a person of so little
decision should meet with so much
worldly success
Mary Twain nodded very gravely.
"Indecision about spending money"
he said, lis worthy of cultivation.
When 1 couldn't decide what to buy
with my last nickel 1 kept it, and so
became rich"

breast for heroism. The presentation
was made at Melila by the commander
of the Spanish forces in the presence
of all the civil and military officials
of the town.
Sister Algeria had just recovered
from an operation which she under
went on behalf of wounded Spanish
soldier. The man was in a desperate
condition, and it was necessary to graft
on some skin taken from another per-
son. The nun came forward and Of
fered herself to the surgeon, saying
that the life of a soldier was more pre-
cious to the fatherlahd than hers. The
operation took place and was success
full though Sister Algeria was for a
long time in a serious condition.
