ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD
At HARD|NSBURG
To See County Seat Juniors Win
Baseball Game From COL
Iege Chaps, OF Irvington.
Hook TwirIed League Ball.
SCORE NINE TO TEN.

Hardinsburg, KY, May S.-(Special.)
In the presence of an enthusiastic
crowd of nearly two hundred, the Har-
dinsburg Juniors, on Saturday after
noon, gave a good example of how the
National pastime should be played.
Their worthy opponents, the Irvington
College Nine, were of sort to make
any team sit up and take notice. In
the first round Lyons of the visitors
started the fireworks with a sizzling
single over third, and when the dust
had cleared away, Irvington had cross
ed the rubber once. But the Juniors
came right back in their half of the Sec
ond and tied.
In the next sessions the honors were
alb tut eqially divided, but when the
fifth inning arrived the score stood TO
/ in favor of Hardinsb burg. In this
frame Irvington rallied and before the
tide could be stunned they had scored
five times. The Juniors kept up the
pepper, however, and slowly and surely
worked their way back until in the
seventh inning the talies were again
even, In the ninth, Parks LUCKY triple,
with one on base made Irvingtou one
run to the good. Something had to be
done and in the last OF the ninth the
plucky little Juniors showed their class
by scoring two runs. This inning wit
messed the star feature of the game.
Hoben, first man up, hit one on the
seam for what looked like sure hit,
but Barr, the visitors second sacker,
ran out in short center and with hy-
ing leap captured the ball in his gloved
hand.
Hook, the local pitcher twirled big
league ball.
The College boys are all affable gen-
tlemen and it is pleasure TO associate
with them.

Secret OF Success.

We asked him especially what was the
secret of success in railroad work. He
replied with emphasis, "HARD WORK.
A WILLING SPIRIT"
"Work is my hobby, said Mr.. New
man. We called his attention to the
fact that he had short first finger,
which indicated that he cared not to
domineer, to boss. That is the truth
he agreed and went on to say that he
paid more attention to doing what
others said than having others do what
he said. If the company had change
for him he always accepted it and had
moved fourteen times, thinking each
city would be his permanent home. He
lives on Fifth Avenue in New York.

The new woman is not so new. It.
is only that she takes herself 80 Sc
riously. Close to a hundred years
ago, q quiet, little Quakeress was go
ing about London doing very big
work. 1t was quite as important as
any Of the work being done today; by
women. But it was done without SO
much talk and newspaper headlines.
So it is rather helpful to us today,
when we are rejoicing rather noisily
In our freedom and independence and
what these shall accomplish for the
world, to look back upon the work
of some Of our sisters who labored
before the dawn of the woman's CEN
tury.. Their work is not only an in
spiration, but taken in the right way,
it can be something Of rebuke. We
should not be too proud Of ourselves.
There are others, as the street boys
say.
This quiet, little Quakeress who did
so much good one hundred years ago
was Elizabeth Fry. Sheshad he7piti-
full heart, and having CHANGED to visit
Newgate prison, this great store Of
compassion that was hers was reused
to do something to better the prison
ers' condition. And today, around
the world. the thought of prison re-
form and Elizabeth Fry are INSOFAR
ately associated.
She was born in 1850 and was the
daughter Of q wealthy merchant and
banker. Hers was an environment
and training that presumably should
have led her far from the work she
took up. But from the fact that an
cestors Of hers were friends Of George
Fox. and that her brothers were as
sociated with Brixton and Wiberforce
in the anti-slavery cause, the atmos-
phere Of the home was probably
thoughtful and serious. This undoubt-
eddy had it's effect upon her. In her
