according to reports, who would like
to hold the indicator in the Cotton
States pastime this season, while there
is room for but three. President
Scott is trying to look up the record
of the aspirants, but there are so
many of them he has found it rather
a troublesome job.
But there is one thing about the
1911 league, and that is the president
can hold tight rein on the various
clubs, and that means less umpire
trouble With a $500 forfeit posted.
none of the clubs will refuse to play
with an jumps and take the chance of
losing both its franchise and 500
bucks. President Crowder could not
hold them kickers down last season,
because the forfeit was too small, and
the game suffered as a result.
II President Scott carries out his
theories, they will help the game all
over the circuit. There will be less
kicking, fewer protests and increased
gate receipts. People do not, as a
rule, care about the rows raised over
decision of the umpire. What they
want in baseball, and and the cleaner
it is the better they like the game,
which means better attendance.

Baseball dope from Jackson is to

impossible for him to determine which

impress the chief mogul, there would
not be a kick, knock or discord OF

A Lesson for DIPLOMATS.

Elihu Root, at the luncheon in
Providence preceding the dedication
Of the John Hay Memorial library at
Brown university. said of John Hay:
His diplomacy was gracious. and
1t was prudent as well. l remember
in an argument about a certain inter
national complication. how very
warmly and aptly he once insisted on
prudence.
1T was the Christmas season. and
he said that we might learn a lesson
from little girl who was naughty in
the early part Of December.
Dear me- her mother said, If
you're going to be naughty I'm very
much afraid Santa Claus won't bring
you any presents

Beautiful Miss Howard


Langdon Drew was of frivolous ma
ture and had already figured in two
broken engagements. And now a girl
had come into his life determined to
teach him a lesson. Katherine How
ard and the ex-fiancee had been
friends at boarding school. This was
unknown TO Mr.. Drew who had moved
from Pittsburg, the home of one Of
his former loves-the other was a
Bostonian-to New York, where he
had just met the beautiful Miss How
ard.
Katherine Howard was beauty. In
her hair was the CLINT of the sun it.
self, and in her face the flush of the
wild rose. Her eyes were big and
clear and blue.
There were six men supposed to be
in love with Katherine; soon. Mr.
Drew made the seventh. Also. he felt
he was the most favored.
Among the first six was q young
clergyman, Rev. Mr.. Henry Strong of
Boston, who had met Miss Howard
the previous summer while visiting
friends on the, Massachusetts coast.
He saw as much of her as his meagre
vacation would allow, and in the fall
came to New York and asked her to
marry him.
Katherine told him she liked him
very much, but she wished to see
something of the world first; that
probably it would prove so charming
she would prefer TO live in its midst
the rest Of her life. To her surprise,
Mr. Strong agreed at once. 1t was
natural wish, and it was far from his
desire that any woman should be his
wife unless she realized the many
fhings she would have to give up;
there would be so much else for her to
do. He was indeed an unusual lover,
Tor he had added that he would be so
busy all winter it would be impossible
TO leave Boston, but he would find time
10 see her just before Lent, when per-
haps she could tell him whether she
felt she could become the wife of a
rather hard-working clergyman-not
poor one, as he had an independent in
come Of his own. And then he had
quietly said good-by.
Katherine had thought often of that
afternoon. Strong was the one man
who seemed not to have noticed her

NOT AS BAD AS 1T SOUNDED
Wonderful Highland Dialect Respon-
sihls for Wrong Impression
Given Divine.

Andrew Carnegie, at a. dinner in
New York, talked about the Scotch
dialect.
It's hard lingo to understand" he
said. 1T often causes awkward mis-
takes.
Once an American divine spent
Christmas in a Highland inn. On
Christmas morning he gave the maid
tip of sovereign, and he said, look
ing earnestly at her-for she was a
pretty maid
Do you know, Kathleen, you are a
very good-looking lassie?'
"Of course Kathleen was pleased,
but, being modest, she blushed like a
rose and answered.
'Ah, ma! All. ma! But my kissin,
sir, is beautiful
THE divine frowned.
Leave the room, you wicked
young baggage!' he said sternly.

Howard at first, but afterwards she
siked to think it implied a greater
compliment All winter she had heard
from him three times; letters such as
any friend might have written.
Katherine assured herself she did
not love Mr.. Strong. Yet often amid
worldly scenes she would hear the
harsh roar of the sea, and picture
against a grey sky dark figure, Wig

pressed by a sitting fear that he
might not.
Langdon Drew meanwhile grew
more in love, daily assuring himself
ne was making greater headway. II
occurred to him he was occasionally
avoided rather abruptly; as for in
stance at the Wainwright dance when,
in the beautiful conservatory where
he had been about to throw himself
and his fortune at Miss Howards feet
she had announced that she was "dy-
ing for another ice"
No one would have put up with such
things in a lesser btauty than Kath-

Affairs took Drew to Boston before
long and while he was walking down
fremont street he collided with man
moving in the opposite direction.

The Shadow of Science.
toothpick

It is hard to believe that a shadow
is probably the origin of all astronom-
ical, geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab of today who plants his spear in
the sand and marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. 1t is
from the shadow of a gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
Of the year. 1t is from the shadow Of
a gnomon that the Inhabitants Of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours Of
work for a water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is lhurra stalk support
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south. East and west are pegs
in the ground, evenly marking the
space of earth between sunrise and
sunset. In a land of constant sun
shine a shadow was the primitive
chronometer. 1t was also the primi-
tive foot rule.

A Deadly Error.

This literature, in part, at least, is

department conducted by young col
lege girl in a weekly paper. A sam
pie reply in this department ran:
'Bereaved.-The reply given last

cups of laudanum. Yes. we advocate
