The Show World.
By Rer.

There is feeling of good fellow
ship that exists among the various
professions of the world today, such
as did not exists in the age of oppo-
sltion. But the spontaneous good
fellowship that lives in the hearts Of
the : show people" is in class by it
self.
/ travel back in memory to fifteen
years or more when as a boy first
came in contact with these people,
as a call boy at the old grand opera
house in the city of Minneapolis.
Those were the days when Primrose
and West played to S. r. O., and
when the three sheet of Maggie
Mitchell kept the box Office man
working over time. Today | recall
to mind the features Of the once ia
nous Maggie Kline" who set the
country daily with her famous Ira
ra-ra-boom-de-a song and dance, and
in my memory there still fingers the
Xmas eve when she gave me pair
of shoes as compensation for the
many errands / did for her.
/ distinctly remember the once
famous Della Fox. the originator OF
the spit curl'' fad. Her happy
greeting to one and all as she arrived
at the show shop before each per-
Torrance, and her smiling good
night as she passed out the stage
door was the emblem Of good fellow
ship. Today she is not the famous
Della Fox Of yore, for the Bill Board

|lieve in turning over 4 new leaf
every day and in preserving the old
! pages as q reference work. In this
| way, and in this way only, can we
profit by our mistakes Ii we forget
them we are likely to incur the
same mistakes again.
The arithmetic is likened to the
book Of life. We can not jump
from addition and solve a problem
! in multiplication We have Rto
work up to it gradually, lesson by
lesson, and we had to remember
what we learned.
The same rule holds good in the
book Of life. We can not jump
from the present into the mysteries
of the future, and solve the problems
that may arise. We have to go
along from day to day and remem-
Der each lesson learned. In this
way we will be better fitted to over
come any difficulty that may con-
front US in the future.
can point out any number of
young men who left prison fully de-
termined to lead an honest, upright
and industrious fife. They arrived
at this conclusion because experience
had taught them that it is the only
road that leads to happiness. If
they had remembered the past, as
they fully intended to do, they would
not be back ir,prison today. have
in mind one young man, and, as |
have his permission to write him
up" / will describe why and how he
made the same mistake twice.
He took little flyer with Mollie, "
and dropped in to see the old gang
and Of course, got drunk. He for
got the past and didn't care a rap
about the future. He was living in
the present, and the present demand
ed more money. He dida't have it,
SO he just drew a check on his imag-
mary bank account. To make a
long story short we will add that he
also drew five years in prison.
This is one case of the many that
/ know of, and all of them, with a
few exceptions, are men who will
advise you to remember the mis-
takes you have made, and to use
them to the best advantage in your
future life.
A man would be safer trying to
navigate the sea without chart that
he would in trying to navigate The
stream of life without a memory.
God realized this fact when he en-
dowed us with a mind in which to
record pas. incidents. In summing
up / quite agree with A. N.
Apache when he said: Who
wants to forget the nights we re-
peated mothers prayers? w b o
wants to forget any of the fond
memories or joys of childhood, boy
hood and manhood? What have we
got to base our future upon if we
forget the good and joyous things of
the past?"
In conclusion, we will admit
that there are some things which we
would like to blot out, but we
would not sacrifice the memories
we hold SO dear to do so. No one
but God can foresee the future, but
the past gives us foretase of what
to expect in the days to come. So,
let us trust in God and His wisdom,
and then, if in looking back we are
turned into pillar Of salt, we rest
assured that we will be well pre-
served.

"seanina" the Ratter.

In The Right and Wrong of Bass-
bali in The American Magazine Hugh
S. Fullerton gives an interesting :lc-
count of what is considered sportsman
ship and what cheating in the national
game. He writes:
The best batters are those who
crowd the plate that is. who stand
us near the plate as the rules OF the
umpire will permit and lean over the
corner of the rubber to make IL difficult
for the pitcher to pitch across that cor
ner without taking a chance OF hitting
the batter.
The players recognize the sact that
the lines OF the battcr's position are
obliterated within II few minutes after
q game starts and that tho umpires
practically are helpless TO enforce the
rules or to tell, while watching tho
course of n pitched bali. whether or
not the batter steps over the line. So
ii has become part of the unwritten
law of the game that the pitcher may
bean Uhat is. pitch at the bean or
head) any batter VINO crowds in order
to drive him back from the plate. 1t
is ethical under the players code to hit
and to inilire any player Who persists
in encroaching upon the forbidden
ground, and the hatters themselves rec
ogniZe this danger and accept il as pa 1T
of the game"

Whipping the Boundary Line.

In an article on some of the old up
state" towns in New York. Richard Le
Caffeine tells of the old custom OF
whipping the bounfaries--a method of
esta blshing boundary lines which was
komewhat trying to children.
boundaries were fruitful cause OF
discussion and even blcodsbed in those
days, aud a story is told liz Kingston
of the quaint method employed on oc-
cssion to fix them securely in the
memories of the younger generation.
A century and half later, when tho
long veNed question as to where AL
3any county ended and Ulster county
began came up for final settlement be-
fore the supreme court. an aged wonl-
an was called as witness and gave tes-
timony as follows:
Margaret Snyder, the wife Of
Zacharian Snyder, being duly sworn,
deposeth and saith that she is the
daughter .of Valentine Fiero and near
81 years of age that she was born and
being married. removed to near the
"Steene Haert." and lived there till
about 90 years ago When she was 10.
~, or IL year,; of age, her father turned
the cattle Gas she believes, about the
25 April) in the woods near the Steene
Haert fonteyne (spf!ng), where one of
the cows was entangled In the lnorass.
She went to see. and found COW,
which che called her own. just drawn
out. Her father. having cut a
switch, took her to the north side of
the Steenc Haert rock, and. taking her
by the hair, told her that he would give
her something to remember. that that
side was Albany, showing her letters,
and gave her smart whipping. After
which he took her to the south side Of
said rock. and told her that that side
was Esopus. and pointed at letters on
that side Of the rock. and. giving her a
second whipping, told her TO remember
that he had been flag bearer, and Peter
York and Nicholas Branden were chain
bearers on the survey, and that was
the line between Albany and Esopus.
and after his death. If any dispute
| should arise, she might remember it."
This custom of whipping this

Importation of great antiquity. Many
/ and ingenious. indeed. were the uses
/ found for the rod by our forefathers.
One recalls Benyenuto Ccllni's anec-
dote OF the mnemonic whipping given
] to him by his father, that he might
1 never forget the appartion Of n sala-
mander In the fire; and it was by the
same drastic aid to memory that some

methods. learned onr Latin verbs"
