Charity Problem Solved.

Perhaps no one man in town knows
more rich men-and more poor ones
than does Dick Butler, politician
and head of the LOngshoresmen's
Union, says the New York correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Times-Star. Nor
is there any one who is more sternly
practical in his methods of giving
charity Mr.. Butler would not hest
tate to have a wife-beating bum cor
rected by a corps of his hardy dock
WALLPAPERS, nor would he permit thai
beaten wife to need any necessity of
life and comfort during her husband s
period of convaIescence. Except that
he doesn't always go about his philan-
thropy in the rutted fashion of most
giyers.
How can we give this coal to those
who need it and make sure that we
are not being imposed upon?" Robert
Cutting once asked Butler. Cutting
was the head of an informal Organiza-
ton to whose custody had been in
trusted 10000 tons of coal, contrib1t-
ed to the poor of New York by Pres
ident Baer of the Reading road
do you really want to know how to
get that coal to those who need it?'
Butler asked.
Mr.. Cutting assured him that such
was his desire.
Just wreck that coal train some
where on Eighth avenue" said Butler
''and then put none but wooden-legged
men on guard. I'll promise you thai
every kernel of coal goes to rusty
stove

THE BASEBALL SEASON.

The opening OF the local baseball
season has proven a most suspicious
one from every viewpoint 1t is
manifest from the beginning that
Americas is to be represented on the
diamond this season by clean, man
" set of athletes who will reflect
credit upon the community, if the
creditable work Of the opening games
is continued.
1t is most encouraging TO mite that
The national game is to be played here
This season and that it is to be man
aged and played in a way that should
give the greatest satisfaction to every
fan in the city and in this section. The
management that has in charge the
conduct Of the affairs OF the Baseball
team during the present season
stands pledged to give Americas the
straightest, cleanest and best base
ball that can be obtained The men
who are in charge of these affairs are
men who are giving their time and
attention to the game because they
owe it and because they want the
city to have the highest possible stan
Gard that can bet set in clean and
interesting athletics.
Mistakes have been made in the past
in the management Of local baseball
affairs. That is an assertion which
no one who is familiar even in part
with the facts can doubt But the
present management stands pledged
/ 10 avoid these errors. They stand for
only the best methods of management
and for a season that is not so long
as to cause the sport to die from liner
/ tia. We are TO have crisp, snappy,
/ gingery baseball When it ceases q
be of that kind, it is to come to an
/ and not be dragged out over a pc
Rod where the players and the pub
/ lie will become thoroughly tired of it.
The baseball loving public of Amer
icus has given its approval to the
game as it is now being played. The
large and enthusiastic attendance that
characterized the openig games leaves
no doubt of the fact that Americas
is baseball town. If the game is
continued on the same clean, common
dable basis as it has been begun the
season will prove a success in every
detail.

The College Of France, founded in

scrupulousness. Every scientific sub
ject, even the most absruse, will con-
tinue to be taught there as long az
one solitary individual in all Europe
desires to pursue il.
Certain courses are followed by two
or three persons only. They tellthe
story of a-professor of mathematics.
This professor, who was extremely
absent-minded, had leetured for a
whole year to only one pupil.
He was perfectly satisfied that it
should be so, but it occurred to him
one day that he ought to congratulate
his rare disciple, and he accordingly
did so.

Uouis Untermeyer, in the Delineator)
God made the world with rhythm and
rime-
The suns refrain He made the
moon
He swung the stars to beat in time
And set the universe in tune
He gave the seas their mighty tongue,
He gave His winds their lyric
wings,
And thus the very soul of Song
Was woven in the scheme of things.
Today the wonder was revealed
Upon a twilight-colored plain:
saw 1t in the town and field,
j heard it in the singing rain
The boughs and birds repeated it.
The streams intoned it as they ran,
And then / saw how closely knit
Were God and Poetry with man.
A rift of sky-a group of trees.
A ripple and swallows dart,
The cadence of dying breeze,
Like sudden music, swept my heart:
A laughing child looked up and
sprang
To greet me at the homeward climb
And all about me surged and sang
The world God made with rhythm
and rime.

Our British cousins have been &C
cused of being devoid of humor for 50
long that the following yarn is told to
remove the imputation in a measure,
says Outing. Not so very long ago IN
Englishman, just across, visited Sand
point, one of the large numbering
towns in the Northwest. Practically
the entire town and country are owned
by the Humbird Lumber Company. The
Englishman was taken out into the
great pine forests where immense
white pines tower on every side.
ITO whom does this forest belong?"
he asked.
ITO the Humbird Lumber Company,
was the answer
He was shown through the large
lumber plant and informed that it be-
longed to the HUNDREDS. The fine
bank building, the great department
store, rows upon rows of dwelling
houses, all belonged to the same cor
poration.
AS GROWING treat he was taken
for a spin around Lake Pend d'OreiIle
in swift launch Upon their return,
while standing upon the deck, he
asked:
MAY / ask who owns this lake,"
"Oh, it belongs to God"
Jaw, really, is that so? Now, would
you mind telling me how he managed
to get it away from Mr.. Humbird?"

A typical old-time Circuit rider
died recently in Alabama-a man
whose cody, unselfish life will long
be remembered Many were the &C.
centricities of this rugged old man,
and many anecdotes are current among
the Methodist ministers of the state
concerning him. He was noted for
two things-his denunciation of sin
in no uncertain manner and the famil-
iarity with which he addressed the
Lord in prayer.
On one occasion he had been preach
ing in log meeting house in the pine
woods of North Alabama. There were
several young fellows on hand who
had been celebrating by patronizing a
still hard by After a long, fiery SER
mon, the preacher made a call for
mourners, and soon the rude altar was
tilled mostly by the aforementioned
young fellows The old man looked
them over for a moment and with
keen intuition felt that it was perhaps
lark" on the boys part, but he
knelt to pray.
"Oh, Lord he began, there's a
crowd of young fellows kneelin' round
your altar. They've been cussin' and
swearin' and drinkin' their time in
riotous Twin; but they've come I'D
here seemingly penitent. They look
like penitents, Lord, and i hope they
are. They weep like penitents, Lord.

are; but, oh, Lord, they don't smell
like penitents!"
