er and baseman gave him his oppor-

Stealing third base from second is
much easier in reality than stealing
second from first. although it is at
tempted much less frequently. The
runner moving up with his arm can
take more than twice the lead from
second base than from first, and. be

declared bad judgment to steal third
except in close games with one out
and the opposing pitcher going well
and preventing hitting. In such cases.
where one run will win or tie, stealing
third is advised by many. 1t IS more
difficult to see the pitchers movements
from behind him than from one side.
Still, the runner need not start as
quickly. but can start at top speed
when he sees the pitcher swinging his
arm. advance a third OF the way to
third base and then retreat in safety
because the catcher's throw is much
longer. Also he is in much better po-

slip in the work OF the battery"

Pilfering a Base

"Base stealing, the gentle art of
sprtating and hitting the dirt Is the
finest drawn and most closely ca1cu-
lated play in baseball and the one that
above ali others, reveals the mathe-
maucal eIactitude of the national
game" says Hugh S. Fullerton in the
American Magazine. "a player who
can run eighty-fve feet in three and
one-third seconds from a fat footed
start ought to reach second base ex-
actly tied with the ball, nine times
out Of ten starts, II the play is per
fectly made by the runner, pitcher,

partly social, partly religious. Hearty
approval of the work has been given
by Presidents Mckinley, Roosevelt and

TURN 70 TEA AND COCOA.

Od0SS OF TlISH FEiCScs
That many Americans have been
turned to the greater use of tea and

Coffee, which is showing the highest
import prices since 1897, has fallen
in the imports. Since last July there
have been imported 644.000,000 pounds.
a full hundred million less than was
used in this country during the cor
responding time last year.
At the present rate of importation 1t
IS probable that the tea imports will
aggregate III. 100000 pounds. and
cocoa will exceed 14O.OOOO0o pounds.

Tho Aurora BoreaIis.

According TO a theory enunciated By
Professor Lenard, the aurora borealis
is formed of cathode rays, emitted by
the sun and detected by the terrestrial
magnetic field in the upper strata Of
the atmosphere. The velocity Of these
cathode rays must be nearly equal to
that of light and very much greater
than the velocity Of cathode rays pro-
duced in the laboratory. Lenard con-
cludes that these extremely hard"
cathode rays are emitted by unknown
radioactive substances in the sun.

Mother of Senator Owen Will Be the
Central Figure.
Washington is awaiting with much
interest the coming exhibition of a
painting Of the grandmother of Sena-
tor Robert L. Owen Of Muskogee,
Okla. The painting, which is being
done by Miss Katherine Dabney, is
descriptive of the early history Of Vir-
GINA and the Cherokee Indians, the
senator's mother being a relative of no
less a person than President Thomas
Jefferson of Virginia and also a de-
scendant of the Cherokees.
Narcissa Chisholm, the senator's
mother, was the granddaughter of q
queen of the Cherokee tribe, a noted
beauty of her race, called Queen Quat-
sis. Miss Dabney has portrayed the
meeting Of Queen Quatsis and her
English lover as he comes through the
forest riding his thoroughbred charger
and discovers the Indian queen and
her maidens gathering Cherokee roses.
The queen, Of the typical Indian type
Of romance, stands near a great rock,
with the characteristic pose OF the
women of her race, listening to the
approaching her.
The horseman, attracted by her I'M
usual beauty, as the stories go, fell In
love with her at first sight He wooed
and won her and, marrying her, took
her back to England with him, and
she was presented at the English
court much the same as the farfamed
Poca hontas. Her picture is to be seen
today hanging in one of the well
