 A Hind0O Legend
Robert G. Ingersoll.

Robert G. Ingersoll.
 Brahma made up his mind to make the world and a man and woman. He made the world, and he made the man and then the woman, and put them on the island of Ceylon. According to the ac- count 1t was the most beautiful island of which man can conceive. Such birds, such songs. such flowers and such yer dure! And the branches of trees were so arranged that when the wind swept through them every tree was a thousand Aeolian harps.
 Brahma. when he put them there, said Let them have a period of courtship, for it is my desire and will that true love should forever precede marriage.
 Then they had their courtship, with the nightingale singing, and the stars shin ing. and the flowers blooming. and they fell in love- Imagine that courtship No prospective fathers or mothers-in-law; no prying and gossiping of neighbors; no- body to say: "Young man. how do you expect to support herT' Nothing of that kind They were married by the Su- preme Brahma. and he said to them;

Nothing on Dead Mans Body to HELP
Identify Him.

Pittsburg, Kan, Aug. 23.-Monday
night about 11:15 o'clock car No. ga,
in charge of Conductor Buck and
Motorman Dovewaiter struck and run
over an unknown man west of Idle
Hour park, killing him almost instant
ly. The man was sitting in a leaning
position on the track when seen by the
motorman too late to bring the car to
a stop before striking him. The first
wheel of the cars front truck passed
over the mans body just below the
chest. -..,-.
The case is rather a mysterious one
There was absolutely nothing on the
person of the dead man that might
serve as means of identification. He
had twenty cents in his trousers pock-
cts, a dime and two nickels. There
were no papers Of any kind upon him.
The dead man appears to have been
rs or 80 years of age. He was smooth
shaver. His face presented the ap-
pearance of having been recently
shaver He is of rather dark complex
ion. On the lapel of his coat was
found a peculiar pin. The pin is diff
ferent from any of the organizations
known to the people here. The pin
was circular in form and bore at the
top the initials O. S. and below these
were the representation of two clasped
hands. Below the hands were the mi

There is still a chance for boys in
this country. A chance If they have
the pluck and energy to try and to
keep trying. A baby boy was born at
Wape1lo, June 1, 1860. That was only
fifty years ago At II years OF age this
boy faced the world to rustic for him
self The boy was James E. Hurley.
He learned teiegraphy and went to
work on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa

grades. He became a station agent at
Florence, Kan. He and his young wife
were standing on the platform near the
railroad one day when q train swept
by, attached to which was the private
car of the superintendent of the road.

while the company is seeking to work
out a reorganization.
The company is owned largely in
Kansas City. J. M. Byrne of Kansas
City is president, and the principal
stockholders are lumbermen of Kan
sas City and neighboring cities, in
Guiding st. Joseph and Omaha. The
company was in process of organiza-

time refused to take an interest in
new enterprises. 1t already had gas

vocate a change would give the bats
man two or even three bases and when
the evil effects of hitting batsmen are
considered this penalty does not seem
too severe. 1t would certainly make
pitchers more careful, and by so do
ing would contribute vastly to the in
terest OF the game also, for if one thing
above all others destroys the interest
in baseball it is wild pitching; more
over it destroys the system of teamwork
by putting team up in the air. But
1t Is argued that such a heavy penalty
might invite players to get hit. Not
II the; pitcher is speedy and the UNI
pire onto his job. Any player who
purposely stepped intos an easy, one
could readily be called out, while the
man who would walk into q swift one
would get put out another way. Then
1T may be argued that such a penalty
would be unjust where pitchers could
not avoid Witness. BY the same token
then 1t is unjust to give batsmen a
base as at present. But as a matter of
fact heavier penalty would not be
unjust; it would simply make the av-
erage pitcher do what he is capable of
doing-pitching with better control. 1t
would greatly enhance the interest of
the game. Too many good ball players
nave been put out or ruined by wild
pitches, and many man, once badly
hurt, never RECEIVERS his nerve suffi-
GENTLY to enable him to bat as effect
lively. as before. 1t is foul work and
anything calculated to do away with 1t
in part or in whole ought certainly be
worth the trial.
Lincoln Star: After trying the mar
r1ed life for month or SO. Maggie
Gagnier makes the unqualified an
nouncement that it pays ball player
to get married This statement is
found to apply to many young men in
many professions, but the experience
re IL -, k.k- ho1 Via
ers to the list of those who ripen into
best form under the restraining in
fluences of matrimony. Gag thinks
that a married ball player will watch
out for his physical condition better
than single man. for he has wife
and mayhap a family, dependent upon
his retaining his health. Aside from
that, good physical condition means
better baseball and far less danger OF
hook being applied which might
separate the ball player from his job.
Gag himself is not a bad example of
what the hymeneal bonds will accom-
plish for a ball player. He played
good, even excellent ball before his
wedding. But he was ant to be incon-
sistent and his hitting was not always
to be counted on. Since the happy
day, Gag has become as steady and
knows what it is to be discouraged and
has all fandom commenting on the
brilliancy of his plays. To provoke
such comment when his former work
had unQuestionably excelled that of
any other Western league short speaks
wonders for Gags playing powers. Add
to this. that he has become consist
ent hitter, always a good and timely
swatter, and especially apt to connect
in the Dinches. Aside from that he has
developed a fast bunt which is apt to
land him safe on first besides being a
narfopf sacrifice and is as dangerous a
man at the plate as the Lopes boast.
The Lope management might buy
about ten licenses for the lighter hit
tiers.
