Base Bali By Jinks

The game of baseball between the
home team and the Golden Reds last
Sunday afternoon was one of the very
best that has been witnessed this sea-
son. The visiting team made two runs
in the first inning and then had a
goose egg to their credit during the re-
naming eight innings. The home
team made one run in the second in
ming and four in the third but failed to
make another run during the remain
der of the game. The playing through
out was good and Mitchell and MeDzi-
mer. the battery for the home team,
showed their excellent plnying to per-
fection. Nor was the support lacking
in good work. A double play was made
by Richards d Leach and another by
Watson and Leich, both of which
brought loud applause from the grand
stand and bleachers The attendance
Was fair ana no doubt many were de-
tered from going on account of the
threatening condition of the weather
as the time for calling the game ap-
preached.

Great Saving of Time.

The manager of one of the electric
light companies of the western part
of the country has greatly facilitated
the business of making the monthly
readings of meters by having these
instruments placed on the rear
porches of houses instead of in the
cellars About half of the meters of
this company are now located in some
convenient and protected place In the
rear Of the house, where it is always
accessible without regard to the pres
ence or absence of the inmates of the
house. The result is that the average
time formerly consumed by the in
spector has been cut about in half

NO REFRESHMENTS FUR HIM
PedestrIan's Hopes, at First High,
Dashed When Explanation
Was Made.

A pedestrian in North Carolina one
morning came upon a mountain cabin
which gave unusual evidence of rural
industry. There was flourishing patch
of wild mustard at the rear of the
premises, q bantam hen on the front
doorstep, and something that resem-
bled milking stool overturned on the
hard-pc cked, yellow clay OF the yard.
Although ii v2s hut ten o'clock in the
morning, the traveller decided to stop
and ask for refreshments. since he
might not come upon anything SO
promising in many hours.
The tall. simply-clothed, and appar-
emily meagerly-fed woman who came
to the door looked at first amazed and
then resentful when her visitor made
known his request.

bukeful tone. "Jim's gone to taown to

Inferring from this that there was
no solid food in the larder, the man
.cheerfully suggested glass of milk

This seemed to be the travellers
opportunity. both to exercise his gal.

pure and unadulterated beverage
which he coveted.

CHRISTMAS DAY OF "DEvIL"
Printers Lad. Waiting for Copy From
Mason, Spent Holiday in the
| Authors House.

1t happened that sad Christmas
tide of 1868. when Thackeray lay
dead and all the London papers were
ceived a hurried little note from Ed
ward Levy-after Levy Lawson, the
present Lord Burnham-asking him
to write the article for the Daily Tele-
graph on Thackeray's death. / found
the note not long ago among some
papers. 1t was dated December 25,
1863" and asked my father to do
for us today a leaNr on the present
condition of English literature apro-
pos of the death of Thackeray." And
there was a postscript: "The bearer
will walk about the country till you
tell him to return for copy"
The story OF that little printers
devil and how he spent his Christmas
day in our house In Finchley road
has been handed down In the family
annals. He may, in obedience to his
employer, have taken little walk
about the wintry Hampstead or Kill
burn fields but he most certainly and
sensibly came back to eat his Christ
mas dinner: | believe he was with us
all day. 1t must have been quite late
at night when the parlor maid, so the
story foes, looked into the study with
a rather scared face and whispered
to my mother: please, ma'am, the
devil has been sitting by the kitchen
fire the whole evening and cook says
hadn't she better give him a hot sup

LOCKING UP THE jURYMEN
Outrageous and Possibly illegal Gus
4 tom That Has Come Down From

Some Of the shabby brocade of court
etiquette has been cleared out Of orr

For instance. the outrageous habit

lasts three or four days jurymen can

is given to the jury. the jury must go
into continuous session, under lock
and key, until it reaches a verdict.
There is no sufficient reason why We
should not go home at the end OF a
day, and come back to our work next
morning. just as we men do in any
other business. The Imprisonment OF
jury tends to hasty decisions, to the
forced verdicts of weary minds in
capacitated for thinking. Much bet
( ter to drop difficult case, go home,
sleep, come fresh to the jury room in
the morning and resume deliberation.
elf jurymen are in danger OF being
tampered with after a case is given
to them, then they are in equivalent
danger of being tampered with dur

The incarceration of the jury is

LIGHTHOUSE HAS NO KEEPER
Volcano on San Salvador Whose
Flashes of Light Come Regularly
Every Seven Minutes.

What do you think OF a perpetual
lighthouse, needing no keeper. and
get as regular in its flashes OF light
as one maintained by the govern
r1ent?" asked Albert D. Van Wyck, a
globe trotter, at the Raleigh.
This natural light never fails, and
that means much for navigation. 1t
is volcano on the island of San Sal
yador. This volcanic lighthouse is
about eight miles inland from the port
of Acajutla 1t Is veritable pillar OF
cloud by day, and the flash of its light
by night has been valuable to marin
ers for years. 1t can be seen far out
ut sea, and a burst of flame has gone
upward every seven minutes, without
the variation of a second, for many
years.
THE few visitors who stop at San
Salvador amuse themselves the first
few days by holding their watches
and timing the outburst Of flame.
"A lighthouse fee is collected of all
vessels that put in at the harbor near
est the volcano, and no skipper OBJ
jects. He knows that the volcano is
more reliable than the lighthouses
kept by human beings on other coasts.
and the novelty of the light is worth
the price charged by the government.
There is the usual detonation caused
By the eruption every seven minutes,
and the ground is shaken, but, after a
short soiourn on the island you fail to
notice it, and would be the more
shocked if it did not occur. Wash
