willard echoes still rumble.

AS fair example Of what modern
baseball is. John McInnis, the speedy
little first baseman of the worlds cham
zion Athletics. came of age yesterday.
He will never do this again, and, there
fore. 1t was the occasion for some con-
gratulations and expression of good
wishes in the Land of Ever-sleep. Nc
Innis Is one Of the most promising ball
players in the big leagues and he cele-
brated his birthday by reaching first
three times out Of four trips to the plat
ter. Up-to-date baseball is game for
young men. If the Nationals ever hope
to win flag, or even land up there in
the first division, they must look to
young men. McInnis is one Of them.

 One of the overflow stories, told by way of warning against canebrakes, is about Randolph Wiggins, Il reckless sort of hunter who lived in the Forks.

Men have the same natures after marriage as before. and so have women; and the likes and dislikes continue. They may, in unsual cases these differences, ere ate a wholesome attrition of mind but it is uncommon and accompanied with so many risks that one should be slow to run the hazard of the experiment.

A literary man most certainly should not marry woman who cares not at all for books and literature.

Massage Aids Temper

 For a time l did not comprehend just what style of punishment was adminis- tered when the children in my school be- came unrniy and stubborn. If they be- came sullen and refused to learn or obey, it was not for me to punish. and 1 re- ported to the parents, There would be a smile and nod of the head. and the unruly child would be taken away for d day or two, Then when brought back the child was wonderfully changed, would be gay and happy, eager to learn and to en- ter into the spirit of things with vigor
 ''i wandered what sort of possible pun ishment or Kindness had been responsible for the change. and learned that the chill dren's stomachs had been carefully mas saged several times day. It seems that in Japan they fancy bad temper is caused by disordered stomach-in fact, the Japanese idea is that about all the wickedness of children comes from had stomach, and that organ is doetored first, mainly by the massage reatment. rather than with potions taken inteTRally."

 There Is absolutely no room to doubt that Holtzlaw was bribed to vote for Lorimer. Why did they bribe him? Be- cause they needed him. They didn't brbe him for fun.

 Ten days before the vote was taken the majority in the Senate adverse to Lorimer was at least dozen. But the Interests" never despair. They planned the campaign adroitly and fought 1t in- exorably.

 I do not mean to say that the drag ging down process is inevitable. There are instances that controvert the thought: for sometimes men of the low iicst birth disclose the loftest gentle manly instincts. l have a letter before me- written by one who belonged to one of the oldest and stateliest families of Virginia, in which l read: ''I knew nothing of his family when I married ---, and l have thanked God many a time since that I did not, for my pride Would have stood in the way of very happy life. He would have done credit to the bluest blood in. the land." " But while we find much happiness in occasional instances of this sort. l am convinced from a vide observation that men and women should marry their so- cial equals and their similars in general tastes and common interests. l sup pose the reader has noticed, if he has met many people from Virginia, that all the old families are related.

K MARRIAGE of kindred souls is es- |" sential to home happiness. There ] ! can be no happiness where the married ones are forever asserting their differences of tastes, opinions, and judg- ments. Soon or late one of the two is most apt to become little heated. Then follows the word that stings, and is not soon forgotten It may not be a very grave issue that has begun the little rift within the lute"; but, however small 1t may be, it becomes magnified by per sistently talking about it. It is best to understand each others views as soon as possible, and credit each with right to his or her opinion. respect that opin- ion, and there let the matter rest-agree- ing to disagree.
 The real difficulty usually lies back of the marriage. When the young man and young woman became husband and wife, they had known each other but short while, too short while to marry. They had but scant opportunity to study each others tastes and disposition. Or, know ing the gulf that lay between them, they determined 10 marry at all risks,

Mar riage for any of these reasons cannot be otherwise than disappointing and filled with disagreements and incompatibility.
 There is one other reason for the nn- hapyy home and differences between husband and wife that I now mention. The young people have heard someone say, Marry your opposite This they have done, with sorrow, in many cases, as the sequel. They have lived to regret

"veriest hind" and to the children in his home, there came from the Bible the sense of kinship with Moses Elijah. Isaiah. David. Paul and above all with the Savior Himself? These people were his people, speaking his tongue. and I suppose that every reverent SOUL. however Ignorant, flashes into heroisn, upder the same kinship-sense.
 I once attended chapel" exercises d q great hospital for the insane. The services consisted in much instrumental music. d eolorless prayer, and most unemotional narrative passage from the Old Testament. The chaplain explained that this colorlessness was designed tc avoid emotional brainstorms in hls susceptible audience. But the perform ance was to the last degree depressing and, l believe. needlessly. deplorably so. What the chaplain said by way of sermon l am sure neither he, nor I. TOT any of his insane auditors, could remember. It passed a heavy hour for them on a Sunday afternoon, but it left mine heavier on that account. Surely there can be devised type of scripture reading positively healing to worn nerves and Pickering intelligencei Much more is there a force for man hood, artistic satisfaction. intellectual dignity and worth in the exquisite flow of spiritual speech from the Bible upon normal human ears, however seal ed to the larger knowledge.
 Something like this was in Father Faber's mind when he wrote of the English Bible: The memory of the int fhs. ataf traditions of childhood are perpetu- ated in it's most powerful passages. All the griefs and trials of a man are hidden for him beneath its solemn words. All that is soft and gentle, and pure, and penitent, and good. speaks
