FAIRY TALES FOR CHILDREN

urges Lady Tenant in the London

CARDS as Of far.reaching Importance,
There Is the instance Of a child ct
five years who has been hearing with
absorbing interest the story of 10

after he was telling his mother story
and with glowing eyes he said: And
dreaming. I saw a kings throne. and
the kings servant standing beside the
throne" I. was not diff cult to trace
the source of the impression that had
led him to clothe his thoughts In
such language.
Let the children have the old books
read to them. There will come days
when they will prefer to read an ex'
cellent modern detective story, or to
buy a magazine. We must remind our
selves that possibly they would be
prigs II they did otherwise; nor
should we, think, on any account
check reading of any kind. But In the
early days when they are still being
read to, when they are so young that
1t lies in the mothers choice what
they shall be hearing, then, say. let
them hear the old books. or, II the
choice fall on books of later date, let
them be the works of great writers.

BOBBY cARUTHERS DEAD. Says He Was Greatest Bat
 ting Pitcher Ever Seen.

Robert Caruthrs. the one time fam ous baseball player, died in Peoria, H.. on Saturday, after nervous breakdown five weeks ago.
 Caruthers, pitching for Comiskey' s St. Louis team in 1884, 1885 and 1886, was considered one of the best right handed twirlers of his time. He was the first man to take the measure of Ansons invincible White Stockings. In 1886 Bobby Caruthers pitched the St. Louis team into the worlds champion ship, defeating the Chicago National league team at the time. Caruthers was a Chicago boy. He played baseball off and on, but never attained distinction until he went with the St. Louis team. Although he pitched with his right arm he batted left handed.
 Charles Comiskey, president of the Chicago Americans paid the famous old timer a great tribute when in formed of the death of the veteran.
 Bobby Caruthers was one of the greatest pitchers ever known he said. He was bought by St. Louis from Minneapolis and pitched for me with the St. Louis team in 1884, 1885 and 1886. After this he was sold to Brook 1yn. Since then he has been out of the big leagues. but he has worked as an umpire. Caruthers was one of the greatest batting pitchers I ever saw"
 Of late years Caruthers had been q Three-I league umpire.

THoRoURBREDS ARE
 DRUG ON MARKET.
As Result of New York Anti Racing Laws, it is Said, There Has Been Great Loss.

Persons able to give an expert opin- ion declare that the anti-racing laws enacted in New York in 1908, and sup plemented by the directors 1iabilit / law of last year. have cost the wage earners of America not less than $25,- 000 000 This is based upon the enor- nous reduction in breeding of thor oughbreds and value of stud farms, the loss of wages to farmers employees, to stable hands, to race track employees, railroads and railroad employees, and others who depended upon the friction less workings of a great institution.
 August Belmont stated few days ago that less than half the usual num- Der of thoroughbreds are now being bred. Because there is no American market, to all intents and purposes, those still bred are almost drug on the market This natuarlly drives them to other countries. Even if rac- ing were to be reinstated at once. it would be years before the numbers and class of horses would be as good as prior to 1908.
 With the reduction in stables, thou sands of men lost employment Some were taken across the water when the stables were sent over, but the great majority became waifs, for they knew no other means of earning a living.
 Among the owners who have their horses breeding and racing in England and France are the following, with the estimated value of their stud farms and blooded stock:

In their third game of the season in the f1rst two of which they split even, the Hospital team put it on tu Lebanon on Saturday afternoon at the Hospital diamond. All the way it was a one-sided affair in which the Hos pital outbatted and outfielded the vis- itors. But for the drive that got by Fowler at short in the second inning, Manager FarrelPs men would have handed row of nice goose eggs to the country lads instead of the lone tally that was scored against their 8, The first two innings looked bright est for Lebanon, and after that they went down in practically one two, three order, Bill Austin doing the trick alone in the fourth,- assisted by almost game.
 Two hits in the first by Jones and Williams gave a lively start to the game, particularly when Austin follow : ed with free pass for Coughlin. A. Cards fly to right put the lid on for the inning, however, as H. Card had died at first and Pultz had sent up a foul fly that was eagerly gobbled by Penny.
 Burns, with one out, rapped the ball past short in the second, and Fagerton followed him with a nicely located sin gle. On grounder to first station H. Card again went out. Jones made q safety and the runner scored, but Pultz's outfeld fly to White caused Lebanon's hopes to simmer down. After that Mason was the only visitor who connected with Austins slants. getting 8. single in the seventh and ninth.
 The Hospital E hit opportunely and their stick work was supplemented py errors of their opponents.
 Things came Mason's way in the fielding as we'll as batting line and he handled seven flies in errorless form. One of the bright points of the game was his clever hand catch after a long run of a high one that looked good for three bases.
 Wicks of the Hospital features with the willow, driving out three hits in four times up.
 Next Saturday it is Montville. with Welsh as pitcher, at the Hospital dia- mond.

COBB LEADS IN STOLEN BASES
Has 46, with Bescher of Reds Second
 with 33.

The two leading base runners in the National league last season were Bes- cher of the Reds, with 70 stolen bases and Red Murray of the Giants, second with 57.
 In the American league Eddie Col lins led with S1 sacks, with Ty Cobb second at 65.
 Of these four 1910 stars upon the paths it is interesting to note that three of the quartet are still out in front.
 In the National league Beecher leads to date with B stolen bases, being closely pressed by Red Murray, who has 30. There are any number only a short lap behind this pair with 27 or 28 stolen sacks, but the point is that Murray and Bescher still lead.
 Murray is giving Bescher a closes fight even this season than last, and the battle between these two should be 8 corker to the finish unless some other entry steps in and crowds both out.
 Herzog with 2s stolen bases is now liable to give both a hard run, and it would be no great surprise to see the new Giant lead the field.
 Eddie Collins has fallen badly from his 1910 form. while TX Cobb is going faster than ever. The race is now just half over, yet Cobb has already garnered 46 steals The fleet Tiger is likely to go above 90 at this clip.
 Supplanting Collins in last sea- sons all-star quartet comes Harry Lord of the White Sox, who is second only to Cobb. Lord has now amassed 30 stolen bags. The Chicago third

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
LOWERING TENDENCY. Offerings of Stocks Find Ready Sale at
 Lower Prices.

New York, Aug. 6.-Stock market prices were weak at the opening and throughout the best part of the two hours of trading the tendency on heavy levels on pressure from the profession al element and on scattered liquidation. Closing quotations were above the low est, owing to covering in the final deal lngS. Offerings were well taken on the decline, and in conservative quarters 1t was freely predicted that the down. ward movement would not run far into the current week, such predict tionS be- ing based on the theory that the mar ket was heavily oversold, with the larger part of the floating supply of stocks in exceedingly strong hands. The best featura of the market yester- day was it's ability to absorb a large amount of stock.
 The big men, So-called, were good buyers, but they madeno effort to stay the decline. Market conditions that have developed in the last few days as result of liquidation and bear pres sure will automa tically check the sell Ing movement before it can bring abou. acute disturbances in the financial sit nation. Traders doubtless will remain oearlsh for some time to come.
 The drive at prices in the first hour apparently was for the purpose of af- ford1ng an opportunity for bears 10 cover, but the bear element, which is not always strictly truthful, stoutly denied that it had covered it's con tracts while it asserted that prices would go down, down down, and then down again, and vet the wheels of trade and commerce continue to move The hard coal stocks weresattacked be- cause government suit was filed against the so-called soft coal trust.
