Chicago, July S.-For the last three
seasons Cub fans have noticed each
day in a conspicuous box, a striking
ly beautiful and enthusiastic fan.
They little realized that this charming
young lady had a specific interest in
one of the Cub heroes. It has since
developed, however, that Frank
Schultz the star outfiel6er, was her
particular hero and that while she en-
joyed the ball games, it was because
her Frank was there that she took
such a lively interest in the national
sport. The romance eliminated on

Sioux City, July 8.-St. Joseph lost
to Sioux City, to 5, after a weird
pitching exhibition. The score was 8

ginning of the eighth. With two out

Crutcher passed two men and forced in
a run Towne doubled and two more

II was New Years night An aged man was standing by the window He mournfully raised his eyes toward the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the sur face of clear, calm lake. Then he cast them on the earth, where few more helpless beings than himself were moving toward their inevitable goal-the tomb. Already he had pass ed sixty of the stages which lead to it. and he had brought from his jour ney nothing but errors and remorse. His health was destroyed, his mind unfurnished, his heart sorrowful, and his old age devoid of comfort.
 The days of his youth rose up in a vision before him, and he recalled the solemn moment when his father had placed him at the entrance of two roads, one leading into peaceful. sunny land. covered with a fertile har- vest, and resounding with soft, sweet songs; while the other conducted the wanderer into deep, dark cave. whence there was no issue, where poi son flowed instead of water. and where serpents hissed and crawled.
 He looked toward the sky. and cried out in his anguish: "oh, youth, re turn! 0 my father, place me once more at the crossway of life, that may choose the better road!" But the days of his youth had passed sway, and his parents were with the depaised.

 Then he remembered his early com panions, who had entered life with him. but who having trod the paths of virtue and industry. were now happy and honored on this New Years night. The clock in the high church tower struck. and the sound, falling on his ear. recalled the many tokens of the love of his parents for him; the prayers they had offered up in his behalf Overwhelmed with shame and grief, he dared no longer look to- ward that heaven where they dwelt His darkened eyes dropped tears, and with one despairing effort he cried aloud, Come back, my early daysl Come back"
 And his youth did return; for all this had been but dream, visiting his slumbers on New Years night. He was still young, his errors only were no dream. He thanked God fer yently that time was still his own; that he had not yet entered the deep. dark cavern. but he was free to tread the road leading to the peaceful land where sunny harvests wave.

 "The people of Persia" says the dis patch, "are stupefed at the attitude of Russia, especially as these outrages have followed immediately on the ac- eeptance by Persia of the second Rus sian ultimatum, and after Persia has shown every desire and disposition to conciliate Russia and establish friend ly T. ations"
 The acting governor of Tabriz re- ports that it is impossible to negotiate with the Russians, who swept the streets with artillery and refused to accept truce.
