Who would have thought that the squalid parlor, into which the warm sun filtered. was a place of dreams But so 1t was. The taciturn little En- glishman in the corner, who was born in South Africa. was gazing into space upon the yellow corn fields of the Ar genuine Republic. upon construction camps in the Andes. and upon broad roads leading by gentle stages through the pampas from one hospitable ranch to the next. Aroused from his artic- ulate vision by question. he stated in matter-of-fact way that he would be in Argentine next fall.
 The booted, gigantic Swede was thinking of logging camps in Mime sota. of perilous drives to the lakes, of flst-to-fist battles between champions among the snows. Another, in his minds eye. beheld the sunny orchards of California; another imagined him. self helping build steel bridges in Mexico. The sap of spring was rising in their veins, and. like birds of pas sage. they were impatient to be of. A few more weeks would see them scat tered to the points of the compass, ensconced in box cars and on blind baggages, but all bent on the quest of their golden f1eece"-the perfect job.
 Some would fall by the wayside- mangled or slain beneath the wheels of trains, and would be buried in the pauper graveyards maintained by the railroads for their vagabond victims, But of these the army of wanderers would take no heed.
 The "gay cat" believes that his con stitutional right to the pursuit of hap piness includes the privilege of rid ing on trains without paying fare.
 The most he will do is to pay 50 cents to 8 shack" (brakeman) for permission to ride unmolested over his division. Frequently a supposed vagabond crouching painfully in a brake-beam has $100 in his pockets and a bank book for several hundred more. But he would have suspicious of his own sanity should he spend any of his money for the comforts and re- spectability of a seat in a railroad coach.

COBB'S THEORY
Queer Story is Told by Slayer
of Ella CravenS.

Herbert Cobb. who is in Jail at
Bowling Green. for the murder of
his sweetheart, Miss Ella Cravens.
has given out a most improbable
story. in public statement, alleging
that the girl shot herself when he
went to tell her good bye, prior to
his departure for Evansville to learn
the machinist trade. According to
Cobb. the girl grabbed his pistol
when he made a playful threat at
killing himself rather that leave her,
and the gun was discharged. the
shock throwing him backward. The
girl evidently thought he had been
seriously wounded, as she grabbed
the gun. he said. and fired four shots
into her own body.
No credence will be given the
story here. where the facts are we'll
known.

peration.
In addition to all else, it is abso-
lutely indecent for a person to so
neglect themselves. Pardon me for
speaking so plainly, but | cannot i'm
press these truths too forcibly. If
what | write will save just one per-
son a spell of sick headache | will
be amply paid.
/ hope some day sanitation and
hygiene will be taught in all the
schools.
God bless the women ever and
always, but | sometimes think that
they, out of the goodness of their
hearts. are killing nearly as many
people as the doctors. After giving
you a nice bowl of soup, juicy
roast, an abundance of vegetables
with plenty of milk and butter, they
will insist on your eating cakes with
rich sauces. ices, etc. This is similar
to putting spur on jaded horse.
Let a person go to one of these
functions and when he gets through
with all the courses he will feel like
an anaconda that had swallowed an
elk. You have overloaded your
machine and paying an honest debt

In conclusion allow me to say that
if ever you feel like all your friends
have deserted you or you want to

DE ORC DEFEATS HICKEY.
Billiard Champion Gives Exhibition
Mt the Royal.

Alfredo De Orc. champion pool and
three-cushion billiard player of the world,
began a series OF exhibitions last night
at the Royal Billiard and Pool Parlors,
1924 New York avenue, which attracted
one of the largest and most enthusiastic
gatherings of opponents OF the cue ever
assembled in this city. De Oros op-
ponent was Edward Hickey, one of the
best of the local three-cushion players
who succeeded in making s. points to De
Oro's 80. After the match game De Orc
gave an exhibition of fancy shots, which
drew rounds of applause from the audi
ence, some of his bank shots, which
seemed impossible, being accomplished
with apparent ease. De Orc will con-
tinue the pool and billiard exhibitions at
fhe Royal until Friday night, the after
noon exhibitions commencing at o'clock
and the evening at S o'clock.
This afternoon De Orc will meet Mr..
Sullivan, and tonight Mr.. Underwood
will be his opponent, both contests being
al three-cushioned billiards. No oppo-
nents have been selected for Wednesday,
but on Thursday afternoon and night
Frank Sherman, eX-champion pool player
of the world, will met De Orc in 100
point pool exhibition.

A well-defined plan is on foot to or
ganize an outlaw baseball league, Wash
ington having a club in the circuit. This
was learned last night from one of the
promoters of the proposed circuit.
1t is proposed to have teams in Wash
ington, Richmond, Wilmington, Baltimore,
Paterson, Newark. and Reading, with the
local magnates in each city controlling
the stock in the clubs.
A stock company IS slated to be formed
in this city, with several well-known
business men in control. and 1T is 'ex-
pected that after the holidays, when the
leagues is booked to hold its first meeting.
that the majority of the stock in the new
enterprise will be subscribed for.
Union League Park is spoken OF as the
home of the club in this city, and 1t Is
planned to enlarge the park, erect bigger
stands, and in every way make q hrst-
class ball yard out OF the place.
The games will be played in this city
when the American League club is on the
road and on Sundays. as it is figured
that Sunday ball will draw at Union
League Park. the same as 1t did last
summer.
Has Been Tried Before.
This proposition has been tried before
in Washington, and it did not live, as
the public refused to patronize a second
rate team when a major league club IS
in the same city. although when the Ma
tionals are on the road, the outlaw games
may draw a fair-sized crowd. The Union
League had hard luck in this city, rain
butting in and causing the cancellation of
many games, and II is thought that had
the league been favored by good weather.
it would have cleared money in this
city at least.

CATHOLIC j. PLAYS
MARYLAND NIGHT
Fast Basket ball Booked for
Convention Hall.

The Catholic University basketball
Guint plays the second game on its
schedule tonight, when it meets the
University of Maryland five at Conven-
ton Hall. a fast game is assured, as
the Brooklanders showed by their work
against Frederick College Saturday
night that they have a good team, and
according TO all reports the University
of Maryland have also got a fast COM
bination. 1t is not known definitely
just what lineup will start the game
for the Red and Black, although it IL
very probable that 1t will be practically
the same as in the last game. 1t Is
possible, however. that either Clancy,
Lynch, or Smith will be seen at guard,
in place of either Trumbull or Fury.
The team was put through a snappy
signal practice yesterday afternoon
and as a result the teamwork should
materially improve. II the Brookland-
ers can secure a good lead IN the first
half, some shifts may be made in the
lineup, as there are several new men
whom Capt Mcdonnell IS exceedingly
anxious to try out.
