Baseball and Grandma.

[ remember being on a Chicago
street car, says Ellis Parker Butler,
in Success Magazine, sitting beside a
nice old lady in mourning, a year or
so ago. She was nervous and kept
glancing at me, and then gIancing
away again. 1t made me uncomfort-
able. | thought she took me for a
pickpocket or some other bad man.
Finally she could contain herself no
longer. She leaned over Excuse
me-" she said, but have you heard
yet how the Cubs game came out?"
I hadn't, and her face fell, but in a
moment she saw a possible opportunity
for consolation. Well" she asked,
"can you tell me who they are put
ting in the box to-day?" How was
that for a gray-haired grandma? In
Chicago they all talk baseball, from
the cradle to the grave. Up to three
o'clock in the afternoon no one talks
about anything but the game of the
day before From three o'clock On the
only subject is the game that is be-
ing played The school child who can
not add two apples plus three apples
and make it five apples with any GER
tainty of correctness can figure out
the standing Of the Chicago mines with
one hand and a pencil that will make
a mark only when it is held straight
up and down.

REPUBLICAN LOSES OUT
Democrat Elected TO Congress in New
York on the Issue of Tariff
Reform

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, April 2O.-A
normal Republican plurality of 5000 in
this, Monroe county, changed Tuesday tC
a 5000 Democratic plurality when the
district elected the first Democratic con-
gresham that has represented the Thir-
ty-second New York district in twenty
years.
James S. Havens, Democrat, running
ON a tariff reform platform, defeated
by 5000 votes, George w. Aldridge, for
a score of years the ruler OF the county
Republican organization.
Monroe county, which comprises the
district is normally Republican by about
5000. James Brock Perkins, whose
death in the middle of his third congress
sional term necessitated a special cleo
ton today, won in 1908 by TO- 67 votes
Ravens had arrayed against him one
of the strongest political organizations
in the state. Yet. in a campaign lasting
only seventeen days. and with a hastily
constructed organization, he accom-
plished one of the most remarkable over
turns in political history.
The result of Tuesdays election takes
its place beside the Democratic victory
in the Fourteenth Massachusetts, where
Eugene n. Foss was sent to Congress
from a district supposed to be as rock
ribbed Republican as is this one.

ROOSEVELT BUSY
WRITING LETTERS
FORMER PRESIDENT APPARENTLY
IS WELCOME EVERYWHERE.
DICTATES SCORES OF LETTERS TO
STENOGRAPHER.

ANG-PUCHHEIM, Upper Aus
tria, April 2O.-(Aboard Roosevelt Train
Although it was after midnight when
the train bearing the Roosevelt party left
Budapest, the colonel was up at ! O'Clock
today
During the stop at Vienna. he got out
and walked up and down the station
platform for half an hour. As the train
left Vienna, a heavy fall of rain OBJ
secured the landscape and Mr. Roosevelt,
turned his attention to vast accumula-
tlon OF correspondence.
For three hours the former President
dictated without interruption to his
stenographer. The letters and kilograms
which reach Mr.. Roosevelt increase in
number daily. While many are from
trends and acquaintance in America
ana Europe, the majority are from per-
sons OF whom the recipient has never
known. Many are received from those
known to Mr.. Roosevelt only by reputa-
ton. A feature of these letters is the
unanimity with which the writer's look
to the former President for leadership of
any cause in which they are interested
From Constantinople came an appeal
for aid in the establishment there of an
American college for girls The request
for change of itinerary that would per-
nit Mr.. Roosevelt to visit their particu-
lar city or town received from number

Upon leaving Budapest, Mr.. Roosevelt
was obliged to decline the invitation of
the Bavarian government made through
the Bayarlan minister at the Austrian
court, to stop over several hours in Mu.

VICTORY OVER TROUBLE

BY Rev. James E. c. Sawyer, d. d.
These things l have spoken unto Won.
that in me We might have peace. In
the world We shall have tribulation.
but be of good cheer; have overcome
the world-John xvi; SO.
One of the elements of serenity and
strength in times of disaster or be-
reavement is the habit of faithful and
regular labor He that feels that he
has some definite task for which he is
responsible will be strengthened to en-
dure by his habit of faithful service.
Work is one of Gods angels of comfort.
The man on whom rests some great
responsibility, like the command of an
army in active service in time of war.
or the command of a ship at sea or
the construction of a great railway
bridge or some noble edifce, cannot
supinely surrender to trouble. He must
carry through his undertaking, and
his necessary devotion to his tasks
may be the very thing that will keen
his heart from breaking. A smaller
responsibility may serve a similar help
drpose, especially if it involves
ally discharge of regular round
ltfes. To grid ourselves for the
blest of regular tasks strengthens
heart to bear trouble. The firm
Of the will required by fidelity to
tends to restore serenity to the
lated and distracted heart. Active
ployment is an antidote to morbid
,oding. Richter says: "A busted
art Is like a vessel Of water swung
ound: hold it still and it runs over"

HYMNS AND THEIR AUTHORS
FLING OUT YOUR BANNER.

1.-THE Rev. George Washington Doane
(Trenton, N J., May 81, 1799-Burling-

Episcopal bishop Of New Jersey, was a
Der of hymns. His works OF prose and
poetry, in four volumes, were published in
1860 This missionary hymn, he tells US.
was written at Riverside In 1881
Fling out the banner! Let it float
Skyward and seward, high and
wide;
The sun, that lights Its shining folds.
The cross on which the Savior died.
Fling out the banner! Angels bend
In anxious silence DER the sign,
And vainly seek to comprehend
The wonder of the love divine.
Fling out the banner! Heather lands
Shall see from far the glorious sight,
And nations crowding to be born
Baptize their spirits in it's light.
Fling out the banner! Sin sick souls,
That sink and perish in the strife.
Shall touch in faith its radiant hem,
And spring immortal into life.
Fling out the banner! Let it float
Skyward and seward, high and
wide;
Our glory, only in the cross;
Our only hope, the Crucifed!
Fling out the banner! Wide and high
Seaward and skyward let it shine;
Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours;
We conquer only in that sign.

mainder of the trip in carriages.
The party included Count LaszIo
Szechenyi and the countess, who before
her marriage was Miss Gladys Wander

perienced an accident which might have
been serious. An electric fan loosened
from its fastenings just above the seat
he occupied, fell, and the rapidly revolv-

shaving the hair from one side of his
head. He was not otherwise injured.

ON KNOWING GOD.

By Rev. Joseph D. Wilson, D. D.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for
they shall see God-Matt. 5:8.
God wishes to be known; but He
does not reveal Himself in visible form
to material eyes; He can be known by
other avenues than feshly senses. The
Saviour interceding for the Church.
prays that they might know Thee, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ whom
Thou hast sent"
But what is it to know God? There
Is coming to believers release from
the Limitations of this mortal life,
when with unclouded face they shall
behold the King In His Beauty and
know Him face to face. But it is not
to this knowledge after we have passed
from earth that the inquiry refers. We
may know God while we are still in
the flesh, and this is the knowledge to
which the Scriptures refer.
How do we know other people? BY
getting into harmony with them, think
ing as they think, doing as they do.
1t is thus we know God. If our
thoughts are unclean, we cannot have
these seasons of exalted joy-we can
not see God. If our thoughts are evil,
if malice, hatred and envy reign with
in, we are not pure in heart. If earth
and its concerns, its business and its
policies, crowd out our Fathers busi-
ness, we cannot see God.
This vision of God is found, l think,
most frequently in youth, or when we
are nearing the end of life. Young
Christians before the world, with its
sordid selfshness, has deadened their
noble purposes, have high ideals.
They intend to live for God. If they
are not sullied by earth's defilements,
they may catch a glimpse of heaven.
If, as is too often the case, they turn
their eyes downward and postpone
their noble purposes, they miss the
heavenly vision. They do not neces-
sarily cease to be Christians, but they
are not among the blessed who seek
God.
Many Christians, about to die, see
God Earth's concerns have lost i'm
portance for them, and with eyes IN
yelled and hearts pure they look up
ward and the vision is theirs.

AUGUSTA. Me. April 19.-Positive
announcement of the early retirement
of Eugene Hale from the United States
Senate was made here today. The news
came in the shape of a confidential tele-
gram from Washington.
No definite information as to the mode
of procedure is given, but it is stated
that Senator Hale has written letter to
Byron Boyd, chairman of the state cen
trail committee, giving full details re-
garding his plans.
From the fact that the latter is adj
dressed to the chairman of the state
committee. it is inferred that Mr.. Hale
has decided to withdraw from the race
for reelection rather than to tender his
resignation. In that event he would con-
tlnue to serve until March t, 1911.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 49, -
Inc positive announcement of the pros
pectlve retirement of Senator Hale from
the Senate following so closely upon the
heels OF a similar announcement regard
ing Senator Aldrich, seemed to have Il
stunning effect upon the Senate. That
the oldest of the senators i'll point of
service should voluntarily decide to retire
from that body was SCARCELY less of a
surprise than that the recognized leader
should have decided upon a similar step.
BY the retirement of Senator Hale the
Senate will lose the oldest of it's mem
bers in point of service and the Repub-
lican party the chairman of its caucus,
and its titular leader.
Who will be the leader of the Senate
now" was asked of Senator Dolliver
today in connection with the coming re-
tlrement of Senators Aldrich and Hale.
Il suppose the mantle of leadership
will be deposited in the Smithsonian in
stitution, together with other relics of
discarded and abandoned SYSTEM" re-
pied the Iowa senator, who is one of
the insurgents" against the present or
ganization control of the upper chamber
by a few veteran senators.

It is said that during strike of the
billposters of Chicago number or the
alter managers made exclusive use of
newspaper advertising to announce
their attractions and found that they
were drawing bigger houses during
that period than when they were MAX
ing free use of the billboards. Our
cities have had hard times trying 10
abolish the billboard nuisance. Per
haps a general realization that bill
boards are improbable as well as UNI
slightly would help lot in having their

G. c. Morton, who helps to supply
water for the stock and vegetables
and sugar cane they raise down there'
says that the place has settled down
to work and get rich; and they are
shipping carloads Of onions to New
York every day.
We irrigate down in our part OF
Texas in a different way from what
they do in the west said Mr.. NOR
ton, according to the New York sun.
We pump the water out OF the river
There are twenty-five plants on the
Rio Grande, all put up during the
last five years, and we are getting
ready to put in a big enterprise that
will extend into the third county from
the coast and will cost S6,o00,000 uc
S7,O00,000. At present about 100000
acres are under irrigation. The pres
ent method is to pump the water up
to the top of the river bank and there
it flows into canals, some of them as
long as eighteen or twenty miles.
The country about Brownsville
was absolutely depopulated until
about five years ago. Brownsville was
100 miles from a railroad. They are
now building combination railroad
and traffic bridge across the Rio
Grande at that place, and on May l
it is expected that through trains will
be run through from New Orleans TO
Mexico City. Brownsville ten years
ago had a population of about 5000,
of whom 80 or 50 per cent were Mex
leans. To-day the population is about
$4,000, with fully a fourth of them
Americans. The MeXicans furnish
good labor at so cents a day.
Every two weeks from 10000 to
$4,000 home seekers come into Texas,
taking advantage of the cheap tickets
onered, and we are getting a good
many of them in the country around
Brownsville. They plant sugar cane
and alfalfa and ali the truck crops
One speciality they have gone in for
IS green onions, which net them from
$500 to $500 an acre. Last year about
5000 carloads were raised Not one
onion was shipped from that country
1--WE years ago, and to-day the Ber-
muda onion is being driven out of the
market. Bermuda does not ship here

CAMP ON A NEW YORK ROOF.
Uptown Doctor Builds 800 Retreat
Top of His House.

Top of His House.
There is a good deal of talk nova
days about the value of plenty of
fresh air in sleeping rooms. DR. Addi-
son w. Baird tells in the Surrey about
a roof camp that he has built on the
top of his New York dwelling. Here
he sleeps, and here he finds rest in
the open air is quieter and deeper
than indoors
One may be sleepy when the alarm
sounds in the morning, but rises re
freshed and invigorated,' he says. In
fact, this urban open air life has a
number of pleasant features. There
is sense of remoteness, of being away
from the noise and movement of the
city.
Looking out over the roofs the
scene is often one Of great beauty The
electric light streaming upward on the
tall buildings of the neighborhood is
very striking, and further on can be
seen the Palisades with their brilliant
arc lights and the dark river beneath.
In winter time moonlight glistening
on the surrounding snowclad roofs
forms a very attractive picture.
This roof house is twelve feet
square and consists of steel frame
work covered in with fireproof mate
rails to comply with the building code
Across the front extends a series of
doors, so that this whole side can be
thrown open.
The walls are double and the inter
space has openings top and bottom,
thus providing free circulation of air,
and the roof also is double, with ven
tilation through a small cupola The
effect of this cellular construction is
to prevent the apartment from becom-
ing overheated when the suns rays
play upon it throughout the long sum-
mer days. The whole cost was less
than S400'
