Too Public For Him.

He was mild hammered little man,
short, with gray hair and spectacles.
1t was noon on Washington street
and, as usual, the crowds were shov-
Ing and pushing to get somewhere.
The little man was trying to worm his
way through the crowds.
A well dressed woman, accompanied
by a small boy, was mixed up in the
crowd. She wanted to cross the street.
The boy stopped to look in window.
The lady reached down and grasped
hand, saying, Take my hand, dear"
Not right here on the public street"
she was startled to hear some one re.
ply.
Looking down, she saw that she was
clasping the hand of the very inoffen-
sive little man, who seemed to be
much confused and embarrassed.

SEASON LOOKS
Like THE BEST

Jackson, Miss, April 5.-."This seas
on looks like the best We have ever
had" is the way President Scott sized
up the situation in the Cotton States
League. "The league is in better
shape than it has ever been, with pros
poets brighter for our banner season.
Reports / have from every city indi-
Gates more interest than formerly.
while know from what | have seen
and heard, that the league is fully
thirty per cent stronger than last
year.
The showing of our teams against
the big leaguers indicates that we
have better pitchers, as a whole, than
last season, while the standard of the
fielders has been raised and there is
no denying the fact that We have some
pretty good hitting teams in this cir
cult.
Il am pleased with the prospects,
and believe the attendance will be bet
ter. We open the season next Thurs
day under generally improved condi-
tons. The teams seem to be more
evenly matched, judging from the
games that have been played, and it
looks as though we will have better
balanced organization in every way
than in 1910, when the teams were got
ten together hurriedly and every play
or, practically, was apparent.
