| Noteworthyq at this time is the
success OF the Detroit club in It's en-
deavor TO develop a new first base
man. Gainor started the year with
but one season OF experience In ma
tional protection pastiming for hire
He wasn't welcomed with any par
ticularly glad acclaim from press.
public or mates. He was so quiet
In the way he went about his work
that 1t hardly seemed possible that
he could fill the bill.
There is no longer any occasion
TO doubt Mr.. Gainor's ability. He has
developed into one of the most pleas
ing features of the Bennett Park
landscape.
AS fielder he leaves nothing to
be desired Yesterday he dug up
no less than three low throws and
converted them into out. He works
with Stanage in way TO keep the
runners close TO the sack at all
times. He is fast and sure and his
jones article, which is endorsement
enough for any athlete. His mates
have taken him TO their hearts and
MADE MIN one Oh tnem.
There was some doubt regarding
Gainor's batting ability. There should
be doubt no longer. He leads MORT
arty, Delehanty and Bush in average,
in runs batted in and in frequency
of bingles. He can hit to either field,
and he can bunt and beat il out on
occasion,
And the best of II all is his abil-
ity to hit left-handed pitching.
Yesterday he faced the southpaws
of the Cleveland club four times.
Once he worked out pass to first.
On the next three occasions-once
with men waiting on second and
third, he connected for resounding
left, the second to right and the third
to center.
Pretty soon Mr.. Gainor will begin
to feel at home. When he does, We
will hear his voice His debut in ey-
cry. way resembles that made here
away back on 1905 by one Ty Cobb
later destined to be known to fame
as 1.-THE Peach.

Good Nature.

Good nature is a combined strength
and weakness Of mind which enables a
man to endure placidly a scolding wife.
an aching tooth, a late train, a thievish
office holder, a cronic hope and insult
ing ticket agent, a small boy who has
just asked his 1,111th question, an
automobile suffering from mulishness
and the telephone in all it's phases and
conditions.
Good nature is the breeding ground
of laughter, h guardian of friendship,
the lubricant of smooth running fam
lilies. the solacc of fat men, the anates-
thetic of misfortune and the curse of
republics. With good nature a man can
endure hard work. enjoy a large family,
forget an insurgent corn and enjoy the
jokes of Moses. Without good nature
a man can possess $4,000, 900 and get
apoplexy because he has been short

ductor. With good nature a man can
run our blocks for a train that proves
to be two hours late and can enjoy tell

The dining car waiter is a class by
himself. He is a cheerful chocolate
colored acrobat, who can carry a plate
of food down a Keeling car aisle on a
trot. and writhe past half a dozen pat
rons in the aisle, without splitting a
drop. The dining car waiter Is one of
out most successful vaudeville acts.
With all his faults, the waiter has g
kindly, genial smile, which endears him
to his victims. 1t ought to. because it
is a dear smile. 1t costs half a dollar
to see a perfect specimen in Chicago,
and at least So in New York.
The waiter is not ambitious, and no
waiter has ever become president. On
the other hand, no waiter would attend
a monkey dinner, without being we'll

good many people claim that this pro-
duction isn't really grand opera, but
only grand press agent work.. 1t is
sometimes hard to tell the difference.
The most noticeable thing about
grand opera is the music which never
stops. A carefully selected regiment Of
singers oppose q large orchestra for
three or four acts. Sometimes the or
chestra wins. but generally the singer
comes out ahead by O couple OF whoops.
This necessitates great lung capacity

statesmen are politicians who love
their country in words of six syllables.
Grafters are politicians with steely
fingers. Reformers are people who
would like to play politics without
catching it. "The people" are to a
politician what circulation is to an
editor. He has to nave them or go
out of business. A political party is a
politicians union. Party issues are the
patent medicines of politics. They will
cure anything. A campaign is some
thing that the politician gives to the
voter to keep him busy and happy un-
til election. An election is a frightful
display of corruption and unscrupuloc-

Politics.

Politics.
The world has long been in doubt
but there should be no question as to
whether politics is or are. Every n
will admit that politics is singular
extremely so.
Politics is the art of carrying a
large number of votes in the vest
pocket n OF straddling fences, hunt
ing holes, turning back somersaults
and jumping unto band wagons with
out splitting any OF them. There are
politicians so expert thai they can be
caught robbing hen roosts and can be
elected states attorney on the strength
OF 1T; there are men who are such poor
politicians that they would be de-
feated for dog catcher for resculng Il
young lady from a burning house
without the formality of an introduce
ton.
Politicians are born, not made. If
politicians were made, the act would
have become a penitentiary offense
long ago. The politician believes that
the people should rule. but that it is a
believes that the office should seek the
man and he lies dow in front of it
and trips it up so as to make it's job
easier. He believes that the majority
is supreme n he has 1S9 formulas
for making majorities that are just as
good as the kind you get in the ballot
box.
The world had politicians long be-
fore it had chickenpox, influenza.

wait for the gates to OPEN. Trying to
endure the complications of modern
life without good nature is like trying
to run an automobile without lubricat-
ing oil. The result is heat, noise. sor-
row and disaster.
Good natured men are more valuable
than statesmen to the world. A good
natured man can go through q mob of
10000 people n make less trouble
about 1t than an i'll humored man can
make all by himself in a church. II it
were not for the good natured men who
lose there would be no fun in winning
baseball games. billiard tournaments,
track meets, golf matches and political
bets. It 1t were not for good natured
men. there would be no amateur theat-
ricals., concerts or art exhibitions, and
half the babies in the world would meet
violent deaths while exercising their
lungs.
Good nature is a precious BOON to
humanity. but 1t Is much abused. There
is too much Of 1t for one thing. It
should be rarer and used with less
extravaganza. Good nature ID respon-
