MAYOR GAYNoR Of New York is the boy for the
blznuz. He is doing things of benefit to the people.
One of the first official acts performed by him was
to order all OF the Keep Off the Grass signs removed
from the public parks and others substituted bearing
the inscription Come On to the Grass. In New York
grass is at a premium-the many other
things too numerous to mention
1t required of Mayor Gaynors wellknown
Independence and impervousness to criticism to
insugurate reform of that character And now
that he has led the way public officials in charge of
the parks belonging to the citizens will allow the peo
pie to use them.
1t is one of the str ange anomalies Of life that
taxpayers and all inhabitants are taxpayers in one
form or another-should be debarred from enjoying
the use of public property especially the parks.

HAVE YOU EVER stopped to realize that there are
more than 100000 F. dera ofceholders in the United
States? Ws it is fact. This is vast aggregation
greater than the Grand Army Of France under Ma,
poeon the Great. And in addition to the more than
100000 Federal officials must be added the State,
county, town and village oficeholders throughout
the Nation numbering total exceeding million.
This is startling statement, when analysed. There
isone Federal official for about every16O inhabitants
Counting in all ofceholders there is for every

an opportunity for converting the Republic into an

Reflections.

"a rolling stone gath ers no
moss" Here is an old saying with
which large number of us are ac-
quainted: An old Scotchman one
day was asked if he thought this
was true. He scratched his head,
and after removing his "clay" from
his mouth said: "Warl! rs like
this:
ga rolling stone garthers nae

The Americans have an idea that
the canny Scot is stolid. but this is
the view held only by the uniniti-
ated. 1t is also said that it takes
Scotclman a long time to see a
Joke. but this, although not true in
all cases, is because he is canny-
superstitious. He may be the last
one in the group to laugh, but you
may depend upon it he will laugh
the loudest and longest.
To illustrate the canny Scot and
prove that he often knows how to
use certain opportunities better
than some: A certain man died,
leaving his property to be equally
divided among three friends We
might state here, the proverbial
three, viz: Scotchman, Englishman
and Irishman.) There was one
condition attached. Each was to
place in the departed's coffin the
sum of e5 as a gift to Charon.
Weeping bitterly the three stood
over his grave whether for the
loss Of the friend or the coming
parting with the G5, we leave to
the judgment of our readers.) The
Englishman laid down his G5 in
gold as did the Irishman. What
did the canny Scot do? Simply
this: He drew a check for Els, put
it down and took his change-G1O
not forgetting (honest ScotD 10

Love little,

Do little bit of good-you'll get it in

Lift little burden from another little

And do little more than what you think

Love little,

And every perfumed Summer breeze is
sent to fan your brow!
Nothing ever
Love shall sever,
Naught shall e'er go wrong
With him who knows his business is to

Love a little,
Laugh little,
Live little, too
Do little more than any other does for
you!
Brush the little sorrow from the little
tear-dimmed eye,
And drop little comfort to the hearts

Life is glorious,
Love victorious
When the heart beats strong
So live and laugh and love, my friend,
and jolly things along!

WIRES RELATE
SAD SAD STORY
Marion Goes Down With
Others Idle.
RICE AGAIN LOSES GAME
Manager Criticised for U.s.
ing Crude Youngster.


Sad is the tale that the wires told
last evening when they informed Dig
ger fans of second defeat at the
hands of Chillicothe while the 9TH
ers in the league were lying idle on
account of rain.
The work of the Diggers on the
trip has been below the standard ex-
pected of them. They have not been
hitting when against mediocse' pitch
ers. Cooperrider has won but eight
games this year and second division
teams have mauled him right along.
Yet with the Diggers there he showed
better form than at any time this
season.
Cheney, of the Lanks, Hollings-
worth of the Molders. Walls, of the
Cobblers and others might be mem
toned who have little besides n pray
er and q glove yet they get away
good with the Diggers.
Just why Rice was worked I'm that
game fans would like to know The
big slat has won but two games and
has shown anything but winning form
in most of his performances. While
at times he has pitched good ball
his fielding has been so miserable
THAT he has lost games that any
pitcher should have won and mis-
erable fielding by him has more than
overbalanced anything meritorious he
may have done I'm the twlrling line.
Lewis Is going good-probably bet
ter than any of the others and Joe
will not be among those present at
Portsmouth. 1t would seem as IL
the manager should have worked yes
terday. Perhaps he will go today
and Diggers, encouraged by having n
pitcher who is able to hold the enemy
safe for few innings, may be able to
go out and win.
