| And 50 I'm sick and sorry;
| asked a friend of mine to-day
To sing me Annie Laurie
| For was tired and sick at heart,
And feeling lorn and loony,
| And so he pried his face apart
And sang me Annie Rooney
'"Twas ever thus since childhood's hour
! always miss connections; -
For me the cream is always sour
And mOuldy the COnfeCtiOns.
When | would galy guy my frau
Her temper has a cross edge;
The butter never knew a COW
There's whskerS on the sausage.
Last night couldn't sleep wink
For thoughts of ghosts and bogy;
| said-"I'll rise and get drink
And smoke cabbage StOgie.
| tramped across the silent shack
70 find the measly dipper,
And stepped upon a Carpet-taCk-
| wore no shoe nor slipper,
And then | fell over seven chairs
And nearly spoiled my smeller
And Numbered down flight of stairs
And landed i'll the cellar.
The neghbors heard the dreadful noise
And came cavorting over
A hundred IDIOTS and boys,
Including old dog Rover"
"Well. are you hurt the stiles cried
1t made my anger shoulder
II die too slowly | replied
Please hit me with boulder '"

If the hope of Mr. Knox of seeing the
world disarmed should be realized there
would be cannon available for every park
in the country Philadelphia Ledger.
If in every baseball park, fully equip
ped and bravely manned, there is moth
ing that would more effectively protect
an innocent umpire. tmp. GPrlnch.
Town TALK
They met the other day ard Tom
said
well, Bill, it's not singular that at
this time of the year wherever men and
boys-and l almost forgot-the girls.
bless their dear mples!-base-b ball is
the all-absorbing topic.
Now, when | say wherever, | mean
nearly every part of the civilized world,
for base ball is no longer confined to the
Western Hemisphere. 1t is played IN
Europe, Australia, Japan and Paw Paw,
but it must be confessed it reaches its
greatest altitude in Frostburg!
off as they say around Cooper's
tailor-shOp, 'one wants the concensus of
opinion on base in Frostburg the
coming season, be need only walk up
Union street any evening when the
nickelOdeons have swung their valve
like doors open and liberated their
swarms of humanity upon the streets.
He will hear expressions that will make
him wonder whether he is living in
town of big leaguers, for that is the pre-
sumption of popular talk
That's it. Bill; big league specula-
ton is thu right dope, for don't all the
Frostburg team look he part?
and say, Bill, when in action on the
field and at the bat, don't they behave
the same as Maddox and Frock, who
once played here. but are now in the
big Nichols league.
Il strolled up Main street-eXcuse me,
Oler, | should have said Union street.
the other evening, and in front IF
Meadows, Jacksons, the Majestic, and
around the tables in the Gladstone cafe,
were circles of fans composed of poll
tlcians-present and past, athletes, bowl
ers and men about town who smoke and
think, and they all, with one accord,
agreed with me.
1T was rapid clatter of conversation
appertaining to baseball in general,
mixed with goodly share of compari-
son favorable to the Frostburg team.
LAS one fellow said to "Pluggie, the
other day-'Det weise'll make Diet Graf
