BALL FANS GALLERY
OF NOTABLES
FRANK G. SElEe.
A Manager Who Believed that Slave
Driving was Thing of the Past.

Frank c.. Selee's particular antipathy
was for the character of the late Mr..
Simon I.egree. and because Frank felt
this way about il and believed in the
soft answer. the brotherhood of man
(when he was a good MANI was firm
" possessed of the idea that a ball
player was a human being, Frank got
BOYS around him who would, could and
did work To the end that history repeats
many pennants.
Mr.. Selee had a quaint idea that
slave driving was q thing of the past.
He didn't consider it essential to the
welfare of the Boston team and take
refractory player in the dressing room
and lick him to whisper. He didn't
plaster the players barn with plac-
ards of the You Shalt Not" order.
When he saw something eventuating
that didn't meet with his approval. he
didn't say to the offending player:
Don't do that. you unmentionable. dash
BANKED. apOstrophe, exclamation point,
period" Rather he said: suppose
we try it this way. old son" Did you
get the distinction?
There is a very estimable woman do
ing a great work today throughout the
United states. She teaches youngsters
and the proper treatment of
animals She doesn't say to them:
Don't pull the kitty's tall" but she
does say to them: Always see that
the kitty's tail is allowed to remain In
it's natural state" Get it? Tell the
child something not to do and he'll
want to do it, But tell him something
to do-and he'll follow. It's the posi-
tive versus the negative.
That was how it was with Frank
Selee of Boston. He told his boys
what to dO-not what not to do, and In
the nine years that he ran the old Bay
State machine he grabbed off no fewer
than five pennants. that was something
that hadn't been done (for Boston or
any other team by any one manager)
since old Boy Harris Wright was man
aging Boston. In the early youth OF
its babyhood. indeed
Harry Wright had Boston and strong
grip on the good players. and he drew
down half a dozen championships, the
years being 1872, 1873. 1874, 1875. 1877
and 1873.
Selee was as good a manager as Har-
~ Wright. though of another day and
school. He encouraged Clarkson and
Kelly and the other celebrities VINO
were attracted to his peaceful banner.
He treated them as il they were white
folks. and they got back at him oy
treating him the same way, and WIN
ming the Big Flag beside. There are
more ways than one of getting speed
out of a horse. One way is not TO
beat him to death. That was Frank
Selee's way How he did hate MT

A DROUGHT CURE.

An old time specific for drought
was simple enough. 1t was only nee
essary to burn fern. An interesting
reference to this belief occurs in a
MS. letter preserved in the Pococke
Collection in the British Museum. 1t
is dated August 1. 1886. 1t runs:
ITO My Very Loving Friend, the
High Sheriff of the County of STAFF

notice of an opinion entertained in
Staffordshire that the burning of fern
doth draw down rain, and being de-
sirous that the country and himself
may enjoy fair weather as long as
he remains in those parts. hath com
manded me to write unto you to
cause all burning of fern to be for

WHEN THE POPE is ILL.
The Greatest of Care Was Taken to
Prevent Pain in Moving Him.

The transfer of the pope from one
room to another, however, was no
easy task for extreme care had to

suffer as little pain as possible. Al
first it was planned To take him be
low in a carrying chair, but the PAIN
i'm the affected leg became so acute
that this scheme was abandoned and
instead the poitiff was lifted upon
the mattress on which he was lying
and placed upon stretcher Inc
pope was propped up by pillows and
the equity leg. swathed in cotton wool,
was swung in a surgical cradle.
The windows all having been shut
to prevent draughts, the pope was
taken on the litter To an electric ele-
vator by the "sediari. who at the
Vatican functions carry him in the
"sedia gestatOria."
Despite the careful plans, however.
the transfer to the elevator and the
floor below proved most painful. New
ertheless. as he was borne to the new
room the benevolent eyes of the pope
wandered up and down the halls in
which he was received and blessed so
many thousands of visitors from all
parts of the world.
The pope was considerably exhaust
ed by the transfer, but he seemed to
derive great comfort from having
larger room and a greater amount of
air.
Like many Italians. the pope derads
to lie in bed with the windows of
the room open and insists upon keep
ing them closed both day and night,
receiving his air from an adjoining
room.-New York Herald

7 AS stated in last weeks payer
not for many years has the hay,
supply been so nearly fed out as it
has been this season. Many persons
are entirelp out and have been for
two weeks or more. April, the
month of sunshine and showers,
has done little thus far to give the
grass a start, and the situation is
more or less distressing. AS a
matter of course grain can be sub
stituted, and has Ecen in many
instances. but not ell have it or
can afford to get it.
This state Of affairs cannot be
blamed intircly on the winter or
on a last weeks shortage. 1t has
become a very common custom OF
late years for local stockmen to
overstep their own resources in the
way of feed, inlarging their b. isness
by the purchase Of both stock and
hay. While most dealers claim
that there Is little money made in
this way, the bulk of feed is con-
sumed by a few, and it is difficult
for The fellow who needs a little to
tide him over" to get it. 1t is q
legitimate monopoly" but respon-
'ible, in a measure, for some of the
inconvenience.

BITTEN 81 MAD DOG

A letter received Tuesday by Mr.
O. Wilson from his daughter, Mrs
Lanty McNcel, of Mill Point, W
Va, states that her oldest son was
bitten by mad dog a few days
previous to date ofletter.
The McNeels were owners of two
dogs, but. while the neighborhood
! had been known 10 have some mad
dogs recently, these were not sus-
picioned until after one Of them
had bitten the little boy. Both the
dogs died later, and their heads
were sent off for examination.
Meantime, alarmed by the probable
presence Of rabies, Mrs. McNeel,
formerly trained nurse by profess
sion, took her boy to the Pasteur
Institute, Baltimore, when it was
learned that both dogs had been
pronounced rabid.
The little boy was bitten on the
cheek but the wound inflicted was
little more than few deep bruises
left by the teeth, and it is hoped
no serious results will follow.
