Ed Ayette, a Frenchman, whose
home is in Versailles, looks like one
of the real finds among those 81
youngsters the Digger management
has in tow. Ayette played 20 games
last year in the ohio-Indiana league
He batted 400 and stole 80 bases. an
excellent record. When Ayette
signed for this season, he told the
management that he would agree to
the rather small figures on the con-
tract, providing that he would receive
a nice bonus If he bats .275 and steals
forty bases this season. The man
cagement agreed and Ayette figures
the money as good as won.
Ayette is an inhelder and is espe.
cally nifty around third base.
Two Columbus boys, Walter CARRIER
and Frank Elmer, are touted as being
ripe for Ohio State league baseball.
CARRIER is a shortstop and IL he is
as good as "Bits" Bierhalter thinks
he is, he will have Frank Wolfe's
place in the shortfleld. Wolfe will
not be with Marion this season. This
much has been settled at conferences
between the management and the
player. Wolfe can get more money
elsewhere and believes that a change
of location and the greater amount of
change i'm his pocket will do him
good. His sale will doubtless be an

One day at Milan he was unexpect-

friend, one OF the few who had re-

and prosperity. Verdi at the sight OF
his dying friend felt lump rise In his
throat. He wanted to weep. but SC in

Verdi, under one OF those sudden i'm

AN EXCITING RIDE.


0alloping Over Rough Mountain
Road In the Andes.
In going over one of the mountain
roads on the way to the crest of the
Andes the traveller has need of steady
nerves. A passage in "The ADdean
Land" by @. 8. Osborn, describes the
journey.
The road is narrow and rocky and
rutty and steep. with no walls TO
speak of except tumblcdown ones that
increase the danger by their false sug-
gestion of safety, and in one place the
wagon would fall 1000 feet IL 1t
should roll Off the edge of the noun
tain.
The road has no graceful sweeps or
round, easy curves as 1t takes its way
up the titanic heights, but rather 1t
zigzags like the teeth of a saw, ascend
ing in short stretches and doubling
back at sharply acute angles. leaving
very little room for team and wagon
to turn in when driven slowly and
carefully and two abreast.

dently intended for chariot racing.
The driver groans. yells. whistles
shrilly, cracks his thick rawhide whip,
lashes his horses and does everything
he knows that win inspire fear and
induce speed. All this you become ac-
customed to in a measure on your
dash up the narrow road dug into and
blown out of the giant ribs Of the tow

wooden horse was made of planks
nailed together so as to form sharp

long. This ridge represented the back
of the horse and was supported by
four posts or legs about five feet high

truckles. To complete the resemblance

INSTINCT ANO REASON.


An Interesting illustration Of the Tive
Traits Of Monkeys.
An illustration showing the differ.
ence between instinct and reason In
monkeys came under the observation
of David starr Jordan, the famous
naturalist. At one time he had two
lively Macacus monkeys called Bob
and Jocko. These were nut aud fruit
eating monkeys and instinctively knew
Just how to crack nuts and peel fruits
At the same time he bad n baby mon
key, Mono. of kind that had the egg
eating instinct. But Mono had never
yet seen an egg.
To each of the three monkeys DR..
Jordan gave an egg, the first that any
OF them had ever seen. Baby Mono,
descended from egg eating ancestors.
handled his egg with all the inherited
expertness of long developed IN.
stinct. He cracked 1t with his upper
teeth. making a hole In II. and sucked
out all its substance. Then, holding
the eggshell up to the light and see
ing there was no longer anything In
It, he threw 1t away. All this he did
mechanically, automatically aud just
as well with the first egg as with any
other he afterward had. Aud all eggs
since given him he has treated in the
same way.
The monkey Bob took his egg for
some kind of nut. He broke 1t with
his teeth and tried to pull OF the shell.
When the inside ran out and fell on
the ground he looked at it for mo-
ment in bewiderment. then with both
hands scooped up the yolk and the
sand mixed with 1t and swallowed 1t.
Then he stuffed the shell into his
mouth. This act was not instinct; 1t
was reason. He was not familiar by
inherited instinct with eggs. he would
handle one better next time. however.
Reason very often makes mistakes at
flrst. but when It Is trained 1t becomes
a means far more valuable and power
ful than instinct.
The third monkey, Jocko. tried to
eat his eggt In much the same way
that Bob did; but. not liking the taste.
he threw It away.-St. Nicholas.
