PROSPERITY so CALLED.

The question that the people
are asking today is this: Are we
enjoying that prosperity which
the friends of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff, just before it's passage,
predicted? Let us seee just how
this is. From Boston comes the
information that many cotton
mills have closed down for the
purpose of reducing production,
and it is stated that this reduc-
ton will materially affect one
hundred and fifty thousand work
men as to work and wages. In
all fairness let us inquire if this
is an indication of prosperity.
But it is not only the cotton
mills that are curtailing produc-
ton. The steel industry is in
the same predicament. A report
of that industry says: Business
just now is exceedingly light, and
it is reported hat a number Of
mills in the Pittsburg district Ire
aboutito close down through lack
of orders" Does that indicate
good times and prosperity?
From the New York World we
see that Zone of the richest and
best managed railways in Amer
has been forced to seek a
of money abroad, being un-
able to obtain it here. The same
true of the banks and insurance
companies of the middle west
hey are also "curtailing loans on
and mortgages"
Even the government of the
United States has used its power
tto prevent railways from raising
to provide an increase of
wages for its employees"
The wholesale Dry Goods Asso-
,iation has determined to fight
he 80 per cent taxation on cotton
goods which the consumers in
America has to pay. Yet, not
outstanding all this, the Repub-
lean party has determined to de-
END the present monstrous tariff
aw in the approaching campaign.
How true, and in this instance
low exactly in point lis the old
maxim: "Those whom the gods
would destroy, they first make

1t seems that the Brown-Smith
fractional fight in Georgia is to be
resumed. Smith has already an
nounced his candidacy for the
governorship against little Joe,
while Judge Hart Of Union Point,
has declared that he will be a can
didate also for the position, to
bring about harmony and good
government in the state; contend
ing that a continuation of the
struggle between Brown and
Smith will seriously menace the
prosperity of Georgia. It seems
to us that the people of that state
would act wisely to elect Judge
Hart and put an end to this un-
seemly contest.

The Little Comedy That Was Played
Between the Acts.
A little comedy between acts enliv-
ened things at Broadway theater one
night last week. A middle aged man
accompanied by his wife sat directly
behind pretty young girl and her es-
cort. At the end Of the first act the
middle aged man went out for fresh
air." He came back bringing the smell
Of the fresh mir and gayer spirits with
him. His wife gave him startled
glance, and like a fash her hand went
up to his vest. There dangling from
the top button was bunch Of brown.
curly puffs. There was dynamitical
second as the wife held the puffs In
her white gloved hand and looked at
them. Now she was not Jealous
wife-just common sense little wo.
man, ready to meet an emergency.
She looked at the heads about her.
The pretty girls back hair looked as
IL a piece had fallen out. The wife
leaned over to the side away from the
girls escort and whispered. The girl
slipped hand down and back, and
the wife stealthily laid the bunch Of
puts which her husband had carried
away on his vest button In the owners
hand. The latter kept them concealed,
gently and artfully reached up, pinned
them into place, and escort, watching
the rising curtain, was none the wiser.

WAR IN COURT OVER FROGS.
Pond Owners Must Suppress Noise,
German Tribunal Says.

Pond Owners Must Suppress Noise,
German Tribunal Says.
An uncommon case was lately fought
before the German tribunals right up
to the supreme court in Leipzig.
Two neighbors lived for long time
in close friendship until one Of them
had an artificial pond constructed in
his garden. After time a number Of
frogs appeared in the pond, and their
croakings were so loud and continu-
GUS as to deprive the neighboring fam
lily of it's nightly rest. The disturbed
family objected and, relying on law
which forbids any one from diminish
ing the value Of another's property. re-
quested the pond owner to make ar
rangements for keeping the frogs with
in bounds.
The pond owner replied that he was
not to blame for the musical activity
Of the frogs, which he had not placed
in the pond. The first tribunal upheld
the pond owner on the ground that the
frogs were a dispensation Of nature
which must be put up with, like the
sun and rain. The judgment was up
set by the next higher tribunal, and
the decision of the latter was affirmed
by the supreme court.
The supreme court reasoned that
whoever made pond had to reckon
with the subsequent appearance of
frogs and that the noise emitted by
them constituted injury to neighbor'
ing property.

HOW ST. LOUIS MANAGER WINS
Winning Teams Are Always Hust'lno
for Every Little PoInt-1eam
Work Necessary.
~ JOHN o'cONNOR.

Copyright. 1910. by Joseph B. Bowles)
Keeping every player on his toes
every minute Of every game is what
wins-and this regardless of our own
showing so far this season. Whenever
players begin to touch their heels to
the ground. either fielding. hitting or
running the bases, they are getting
ready to lose a lot of ball games.
All the winning teams l have played
with. or managed. have been teams
that kept hustling every minute for
every point. The study Of heel and
toe was the most important. Persons
outside the business do not realize tho
importance Of this. A base runner,
for instance, who moves of first with
his heels down. loses nearly three feet
in reaching second because he was not
on his toes and jumping when he
started. Inches count in modern base
ball and men who lose feet are bad
ball players no matter how good they
are.
To win every man on a team. not
only those on the aeld. but the coach
ers. must know what is to be done.
In this experience and familiarity
with each others style Of play helps
a lot. II one man does not know the
habits and style OF the others he 10

1t Is the duty Of manager, as l see

men without damaging them other
