When Albion w. Tourgee wrote "A
FOOLS Errand" he named one of his
leading characters Theron Pardee. An
early copy of the book fell into the
hands Of the Rev. Luther Paidee. an
Episcopal Clergyman Of Chicago. whose
father was named Thereon Pardee.
The name is such an unusual combina-
ton that in amazement the rector
showed the book to his father, and
they were both puzzled by the coinci-
dence. They decided to write Judge
Tourgee and ask him what had led him
to use the anne He replied. in equal
amazement. that he had not supposed
there was such a man living as Il The
ron Pardee. Then lie stated that he
had Il prolonged search for q suitable
name for the character of his story
n that would express just what he
imagined this character to be. In the
course of the hunt an old copy Of the
curriculum Of Union college had fallen
into his hands. 1t was dated 1925, or
something as far back. and among the
names of the students was n Thereon
Pardee. The judge said it had I'M
pressed him rs being one of the rich
est. most solid and most satisfying
he ever had heard. so he decid-
ed to adopt it for his character. The
curriculum was so old that he had no
hesitation in using the nume. and he
was astonished to learn that the right

nation vas accepted and the resulting
acquaintance was pleasing all around.

Eating Four Hundred Years Ago.
Four hundred years ago eating was
practically confined to two meals a
day. but in many parts the second or
evening meal was of such a protracted
character that laws were passed linn
iting its duration. Thus at Berne there
was q law against sitting at table more
than five hours. At Bale, from 10
o'clock in the morning to 9 o'clock in
the evening was the maximum permit
ted, but the town council was unable
to practice it's own counsels Of perfec-

private. In Saxony the innkeeper was

RUsIE's TERRIFIC SPEED.
His ThunderboIt Delivery Terrerized
the Battsrs.

His ThunderboIt Delivery Terrorized
the Battsrs.
A veteran ball player who has bat
ted against nearly all Of the noted
pitchers in the last twenty years nam
ed Amos Rusie as the universal stand
ard Of speed in shooting the ball across
the rubber.
There have been many fast pitch
ers In baseball, and all Of them in their
time when they cut loose for fair have
baffied the best of hitters with their
speed, but you will notice that when
fast pitchers are spoken OF the one
remark is always made, Has he the
speed that Amos Rusie hadp And,
I think, 1t viii be that way forever.
As long as great names are remember
ed or baseball Is the nations game
Rusie will remain the champion speed
merchant, the one pitcher who could
send in the ball faster than any one
else that ever lived. When you say
fast as Rusie' you don't mean 1t,
either; you only wish to show that
your favorite pitcher is a very speedy
boy.
Words fail really to describe the
speed with which Rusie sent the ball.
He was a man of great width. great
strength and the ability to put every
ounce of his weight into the pitch.
Coupled with this he had set Of daz-
cling curves which were manufactured
with the same effort required to pro-
duce the speed. Some men can throw
a straight ball with great force, but
have to slow up in order to develop
curves, but Rusie drove in a curved
ball with all Of his tremendous power.
Facing Rusie to a timid man was
like going into battle must be to an
inexperienced soldier. The distance
was shorter then. Rusie had the
whole box to move around in instead
of being chained to slab, and he
simply drove the bail at you with the
force of a cannon. I have stood up
to all the great pitchers of nearly
twenty years, have seen scores OF
them come and go, and: none Of them
inspired the terror In a batsman'f
heart that was put there by the
mighty Rusie. The ball was like 9
white streak tearing past you without
time to balance yourself, figure thu
course of the bail or take aim at 1t
