Baseball Boiled Down

Philadelphia, Pa. Oct 23.-James J
Callahan, manager Of the White Sox
and Hugh Duffy, in charge of a White
Sox training school at Des Moines,
Iowa. is the dope for 1912. according
to reports from uuquestionable sources
here. This ARRANGEMENT. which has
been completed for several weeks, may
be denied by the parties to it without
impairing in any way these plans for
the future. Callahan will be more
than manager of the White SoX and
Duffy will be more than manager of
the Des Noines Western league team.
II long has been President Comiskey' s
desire TO be relieved of all the cares
of running his ball club. but under
previous managers ne has had to look
after the affairs of the club for al
least half the year. The choice of man
ager to succeed Duffy was Influenced
considerably by two things One is
the fact that Callahan lives in Chi
cago and can give his attention TO the
management of the White SOI the
year round The other is that the for
mer Logan square magnate has had
the experience which will enable him
to look after q business end OF the
team and conduct its affairs winter
and summer Nonresident managers
have left the winter job to the owner
of the SOx.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 11.-Lumber
Manufacturers in Mississippi report
that the market has held up exception
ally well during the summer period,
prices are steady for nearly all grades,
and they are having no trouble in find
ing markets for the output.
The only weak spot in the market
is for the higher grades of yellow
pine. Ordinary grades, bridge and rail
road timbers, ETC., are in storing de-
mand, and the lumbermen encounter
no toruble in getting prices demand

The market for railroad stock is
stronger than 1t has been at any time
during the past two years. Practical

1t is not expected that there will be
any element of depression In the

Special to The Nesce.


Jackson, Miss, Aug. 1.-THE Mis-
sissippi Juvenile Reformatory Asso-
citation is sending out literature to the
newly-elected members of the legis-
lature, and determined effort will
be made at the approaching session
to secure early consideration Of the
bill providing for the establishment
of reformatory institution for way
ward and criminally inclined youths.
The association Is enlisting local
support in every county in the state,
and a great deal of personal work is
being done under the direction of
Miss Emily Butt, who has been a
faithful worker in the movement for
several years.
The greatest obstacle to this meas
ure at former legislative sessions has
been the argument advanced that
such an institution would provide re-
formation only for juvenile negroes.
The fact that there are now over
twenty white youths on the Rankin
convict farm offers complete an
swer to this argument.

London, Aug. 11.-Officials of the
British navy are much interested in
the rumor which deals with a con-
templated new type of battleship If
all the reports regarding this new sea
fighter are true, the dreadnoughts of
today are doomed to the scrap-heap.
The design, according to reported
plans, is for a much smaller ship, but
of far greater speed and carrying the
heaviest guns yet mounted on float
ing platform. If these rumors shall
be confirmed and there is good rea-
son to believe that they have founda-
ton in the actual plans adopted by
the British Government, they are like
ly to work as great revolution as
did the original dreadnoughts and
change as rapidly as the methods and
conditions of the modern competition
for sea power as has been predicted
would be the effect of the completion
of the so-called "Super-Dreadnough .

disappointment when with sudden
lapse the season plunges back rom its
pledge OF warmth and growth into
the snow and ice and bitter wind of
winter again, still our faith of the sure
summer prevails, and still we cheer
ourselves with saying 1T is but d
passing FURRY; in just little while
spring will be here
The significance OF spring, whereby
II calls to The souls OF men with a lift
o. inspiration, even when they DULY
miss the charm of all other seasons,
is the significance OF increase-its ex-
ulting promise of more life and larger.
Increase is humanitys unfailing lure.
The hope OF more-whether the hope
OF avarice for more wealth or the hope
OF holiness for more sanctity. OF indo-
lence Tor more ease or industry Tor
more achievement-the hope of more
makes in very place and case The zest
of living.
And the spring commands men 3
hearts more than its sister seasons be-
cause more than they it speaks of LIES
increase; more than they it is vibrant
with promise. Summer abounds, but
.i'N S'SatSi appear VI spring Is lldt
day by day it abounds more and more.
And the smile OF spring is over all
The year; its remembered and antici-
pated promise redeems each OF its Sis
ter seasons as they pass. Summer
waneS and autumn grows sere and
winter comes on, but transiency OF
boom and fruitage is powerless tc
depress us because there never quite
fades from our thoughts the unfailine
expectancy of another spring in which
shall be enacted once more, gloriously
new, the miracle OF natures living
again from the dead.
SO the setting OF the sun in the end
of thrilling spring day makes no end
of hope. Far otherwise, it enthrones
hope. for when The day is ended then
the surety of a new day rises regnant
There is no endless winter But
there comes an endless spring.

Everlasting Expectation
Spring is COMINGp

How eagerly and how often we have
all OF us been saying this on our lips
or i'll our thoughts in these recent

has slowly heightened the days of the
advancing calendar.
Preoccupied by our egotistc per-

but surely none is so phlegmatic as
altogether to resist the appeal of ap-
preaching spring.

mote fro mthe souls native poetry
that no rhythm responds in the blood
when the ripple o. the first south wind
brushes his cheek.
On clear and crisp mornings, when,
in spite of frost and chill, there is in
the air subtle tang of expectation
and in the sunshine a fugitive gleam
of unvoiced promise. our hearts, with
an eagerness that startles even our
selves, leap to catch the prophecy OF
the day: Nov it will nos be long till
spring.
At bright noontimes, when the sun
warns to a pleasant heat, when on
the branches The buds swell nvisibly
and the faintest CLINT OF fresh color
shows amid the grass, Imagination
wist.ully visions world of coming

words repeat themselves: "Yes. it viii
