HIS LIFE NOT ALL ROSES.
a. G. Reed Made Money for Wife, His
Lawyer Says.


Lawyer Says.
Kansas City. Sept. 20.-That Albert
G. Reed, the farm hand husband of
Lille E. Reed, did not live the life of
ease and luxury his wife tries to make
out, is the claim of Hal r. Lebrecht,
Reeds lawyer.
Reed was cited to appear before
Judge E. E. PorteTfield on a charge
OF contempt. After a temporary re-
straining order had been granted Mrs.
Reed to prevent Reed from selling any
of her property, Reed sold two auto
1t appeared that Mrs. Reeds lawyers
had not filed the bond necessary in the
injunction proceedings, so the case was
set over until Monday, at which time
Lebrecht said he would have his client
in court.
The Reeds have been married ten
years. Reed was a farm hand on her
farm out in Kansas. She was worth
100000. In her petition for divorce,
brought a short time ago, she said
Reed never gave her any money, nor
contributed to her support, but spent
her money and went with other Wom-
en-. By a prenuputiaI agreement, she
was to have and keep her fortune, but
she and Reed were to divide the in
come and profits made from it. Le-
brecht says Mrs. Reed lost 1000 in
Texas cattle and land investments the
first year they were married, and then
Reed took charge, and since then has
tact, but has increased it by some $20,-
600. He says Reed sold the automo-
biles to buy food and pay for lodgings
for himself

CHILDREN'S PRATTLE


Don't grow impatient with the
children's prattle nor irritatcd over
the persistent Questioning Of the
baby. Remember she is a new conner
in a world which is full of mysteries
and surprises to her and that the
only way she has of learning any
thing at all about her environment is
through you.
OF course, her questions sound
foolish to your experienced mind, but
just think how foolish you might
appear if you were to wake up some
morning and find yourself in a
strange land about which you knew
not a solitary thing and for inforIna-
ton about which you were forced To
depend upon the good nature Of those
with whom circumstances threw you
in contact
That's just exactly the predicament
Of the little child From the mo-
ment its consciousness awakens II is
in a country wonderful and often ter
rifying. 1t must depend upon those
around it for guidance and informa-
ton. What pleasure it gets out Of
those first few years is largely de-
pendent upon those charged with its
care. Its views of life come from
the same source and in a degree of
patience used in showing il the right
way in giving it the information its
opening mind demands depends its
future intelligence.
1t is cruel to turn an inquiring
child away with a harsh or impatient
reioinder because it leaves an unfOr-
tunate impression upon the plastic
little mind. Better lay down the
most important thing you may have
in hand and spend the few minutes
necessary to give the baby the in
telligent information it is in search
Of 1t won't take long to satisfy it
because the mind of the young child
does not stop long on one subject or
idea. The care you take in these
first years is worth all it costs for
you are not only satisfying the
child. but you are building for the
future.
But in helping the child to find its
way in the world one should be ex-
tremely careful to be accurate and
considerate of the information given.
No haphazard replies should be in
dulged in for they will have their
effect upon the child's own methods
of thinking and may later cause con-

think and act simultaneously. 1t is
no reflection on a ball players gen
eraT intelligence to say that he hasn't
that quality.
Il know scores Of players who are
men of unusual intellect but who
are lacking in that ability to think
and act at the same time. Give
them a few minutes to consider a
problem and they will arrive at a
conclusion that is quite logical, but
baseball games are not won on logic
The plays that win are usually the
result of impulse. 1t is instinct with
some ball players to make the prop
er play at the proper time Hal
Chase of the Highlanders is a player
who possesses the faculty Of using
his arm and his brain at the same
time and apparently he does it with
out effort.
1T would be possible to count on
the fingers Of the two hands the
men in the league who are quick
thinking ball players. The team
that is blessed with a majority of
this class of players is the one that
usually wins the championship. \
ing ball players to be a contender.
and if it has four the championship
is in sight.
Among the players we do not
use the word signal With us it is
a sign. There are not as many
signs used on a ball club as the
public would believe. OF course the
catcher must sign the pitcher for
every bali that he throws. That is
to prevent confusion, or, as we say.
to keep from crossing each other
The catcher has a sign for a curve
ball fast ball and a slow one. To
ball players all curve balls such as
the drop and the Outcurve, are called
"A curve. The catcher gives the
same sign for any one Of them.
We do not call a ball that jumps
in curve. Ball players do not
recognize the incurve. That is call
ed fast ball. Any ball thrown by
a right handed pitcher with suffi-
Gent speed will jump inward to
slight degree. The outcurve and
drop are unnatural curves and the
ball must be spun in an unnatural
manner to get that peculiar break.
1AiS 'iliN oliltT sigh OF import
ance is the one the batter gives to
the runner when he intends to hit
the ball If he wants the runner
to start as he swings Uhe hit aud
run play) he gives him a certain
sign. There are any number of
signs used for this play. Sometimes
the batter gives it by rubbing his
hand over the small end Of the bat
Again he may give it by knocking
the dust from his shoes with the
big end Of the bat
Veteran baserunners study tn
pitchers very closely and if they have
any mannerism or peculiar motion
when about to throw to the plate
the runner Will detect it and start
