Many years after this convention
had passed into history-in fact, after
Horace Greeley himself had become
a badly defeated candidate for presi.

Blair. who was postmaster general in
Lincoln's cabinet. The conversation
turned upon Horace Greeley and his
nomination and defeat for the presi.

ever asked to accept any important
Office, never holding any office. in fact,
except when he served a brief term
in congress to fill a vacancy caused

he got tired of that. and so, finally, he
dissolved the ali-powerfnl political

No Mistake After All

Three months after she had prom
bsd to marry Dick Hathaway, Molly
Abernathy was convinced that she
had made q mistake. In a little less
than chat time 1t was made clear to
Dick Hathaway that 1t would be
criminal OF his part to marry Molly
Alternately.
And that was not at all because
Molly had become less attractive or
Dick less than the perfect upright
fellow he always lad been. After an
almost uninterrupted companionship

" indignant over any suggestion to

Dick ar 1.-THE dearest fellow In the

call his estimate of Molly as the
sweetest girl on the footstool." Moth

Next evening when Dick put in his
customary appearance at the Aber.
nathy house he Wal told by the maid
who admitted him that Molly had
gone over to the rectory. He was
both ashamed and relieved-humili.
ated by his t~reachery toward the girl
who had promised him what he asked
and relieved to md that the dreaded
confession might still be postponed.
It 90 happened that Dick was spared
the pain Of that confession. An affair
that came to q elimination on the
very next night-an episode that
stirred the social fabric Of Eureka to
its foundation-brought Dick and
Molly together again. this time secure
IN the belief that their only. mistake
had been to doubt. even for Z single
moment, the gentleness OF their 1t
tAchment.
This nnal state OF Affairs was made
possible by the elopement and mar
riage Of H. darlington Hopper and
Helen Ware. They had been lovers
long before coming to Eureka. but the
young woman's friends had not taken
kindly I the man OF her choice. She,
however. knew her own mind and was
convinced that she was making NO

1t was necessary for II. Earlingor
Hopper, who had been made choir
master on account Of his musical
ability, to coach Molly privately
whenever an alto solo vas to be
sung. Hopper believed hat he had
discovered great possibilities in Moi
ly's voice. and after awhile alto
solos were frequent al st. Jarlath's.
About thai time the organist suc
cumbed to the infrmities of old age,
and Miss Ware consented to substi-

Molly Alternately to discover how
little 1t disturbed her to have DICK
named as the preferred one.
For more than two years Dick had
walked home with Molly after cho1
practice. but the time came "hen
neither OF them felt aggr!eved over
the willingness of the other to abah-
don the habit. The interruption
came about SO naturally. Miss ware

FERGUSON AND BARRY SLAF

FOR TEN ROUNDS

I Throughout ten monotonous
rounds Ferguson, whose abdomi-
nal rotundity approximated that
of a Japanese wrestler, worried
along with Barry. Not a blow
was struck during the fight that
would have embarrassed a cracked
Haviland china cup, and the fans
at the ringside expressed their
displeasure as only fight fans can.
Ferguson received a newspaper
decision, based possibly upon the
fact that he was fatter than Barry.
AS a fight or even boxing con-
test, the fans agree that last
nights affair failed to qualify.

FRED Clarke, manager, captain
and left fielder of the Pittsburg
worlds champions, may win fame
in tho realm of science when his
days of usefulness in the world of
sport are ended. The Kansas farm
er is of an inventive turn of mind,
and when he Is not playing on the
diamond, devotes his spare time TO
thinking out plans to help his fell
lowmen and to add something to
the family treasury. which is al
ready well filled. !.
His first fling in the invention
line netted the baseball world q
patent canvass covering for the IN
field, which is guaranteed to make
it possible to play every day on
which rain is not actually falling
at game time. The cover has al
ready been put in use at Pitts
burg, Cleveland, New York, Gin
cinnati and several other cities.
Now Fred has something new.
1t is a cap specially designed for
"sunfielders. those unfortunate
mortals who are compelled to field
fly balls with Old Sol pouring his
binding light right into their eyer.
For years sun-fielders have
worn ordinary smoked glasses. n
was impossible to see a ball leave
the bat with these over the eyes,
hence the glasses were worn far
down on ths nose untile the sphere
rose In the air, then the player
pushed the glasses up over bis
eyes. One day Clarke, in making
this move, jabbed q finger into
one OF his eyes and that set him
thinking.
The result is cap with a long
aluminium peak. to which pair of
smoked glasses are fastened with
q hinge. There Is also q strong
spring arrangement. and when not
in use the glasses lie up against
the peak of the cap In q horizontal
position. All that Is necessary to
make them fail over tho eyes is q

far easier than pushing an ordin-
airy pair of glasses from the point
of the nose upward.
The glasses have been tried and
pronounced success. When the
New York Giants played in Pitts
burg recently the sun field greatly
affected the work of Josh Devore,
who up to that time had been go

GOOD START
BEATEN

The plan of President Navin of
the Detroit Tigers, to establish a
home for ball players, is a good
one. Navin is to be commended
and every baseball fan In the
country viii hope that the boss of
the American league hhree-time
will be able to go
through with the idea.
1t is now up to the other mag
mates, not only in the two big
leagues, but in the class AA and
class A organizations to get inter-
ested. The establishment of such
"a home would be great thing for
the men who daily delight thou
sands by their work on the dia-
mond.
Navin's idea as I understand 1t,
lis to have each club set aside one
day in the season, when the en-
tire proceeds would be turned over
to the home. A board of trustees.
consisting of the biggest men IN
baseball would be appointed to
manage the institution, the same
Jas the Typographical union and
some other labor organizations
conduct their homes.
When players days of useful
mess on the diamond are over he
would, providing he has been i'm
lprovident, have a home to go to
where he could live well. Or If a
player is injured in the course OF
la game, necessftating his retire
ment, or If he suffered break
down in his general health, tho
home would be the place for him.
1t is a splendid idea Mr.. Navin
and I sincerely trust you will be
able to get the other club owners
in the big league, to go through
with 1T.

Is Cy Young, the grand old man

This Is a question which Ameri-

country are asking this summer,
and the Cleveland bugs. where
Young is idolized and where he

This is Young's twenty-second

time he has always been at the

are made up at the end Of the
season. Always ready and will

Is having a hard time getting
