While the little family group was

she was warned by her mother that
the screen might give way and let her
fall to the sidewalk, perhaps injuring
her terribly She drew away, thought
a minute, and then said naively,
Would I fall if tho screen went out ?"

COUNTESS AS STREET SWEEP
Young German NobIeWoman Inspired
Her Countrymen to Freedom by
Display of Fortitude.

Julie M. Lippmann tells story or
the Thirty Years war in st. Nicholas.
under the title of "The Street Sweep
err" The author says:
Now Mainz is one of the strongest
fortresses in Germany; but, neverthe-
less, during the Thirty Years war it
was occupied by the French, who laid
the country waste and ruled over the
land with all the harshness of In
vaders. There seemed no hope of es-
Gaping from their tyranny, for the men
who had fought and lost were dis
couraged, and had no further heart for
resistance. So matters went from bad
to worse until, one day, the beautiful
young countess Of Stein summoned all
the sweetest and best maidens of the
city into her presence, and urged them
to make solemn VOW that they would
neither wed nor listen to a word OF
wooing until their country was en-
tirely free.
AS you may believe, the news OF
this league made a great stir; for men
who have lost their courage in war,
and men who have lost their hearts in
love, are very different beings. The
Frenchmen saw very soon that the
young Germans were showing signs
Of rebellion, and so they determined
to wreak their vengeance on the
countess. They took her prisoner,
dragged her through the city, and at
last thrust broom into her hand, and
babe her sweep the principal street OF
the town-a terrible humiliation, they
thought, for a highbred lady as she
was.
But do you think she faltered? No.
indeed. She raised her eyes, and,
praying aloud so all could hear: God
of my fatherland, bless my sweeping,
and as | sweep the highway, grant
that the enemy may be swept from
our nd!"-grasped the broom firmly
(like the true young noblewOman she
was) and swept so clean that not
Frenchman of them all (and French
men pride themselves on being able
to see very fine points, could discover
a speck of dust. They stood about,
and twirled their mustaches, and tried
to look supercilious, and to raise the
peoples mirth against her. But they
did not succeed; and the townsfolk,
instead of jeering, took off their caps,
and echoed her prayer-"God bless
the sweeping!"
And God did bless it; for the sight
of their noble young countess at her
task put the men on their mettle, and
thew turned on the Frenchmen and
fought with such a will that it was
not long before there was not one left
in the land, and they had indeed swept
the country quite clear of every foe.

sisted upon wearing them. A large
crowd of partisans of both sides was
gathered around the field, in buck
boards, carriages, automobiles and on
their COW ponies, and delegation OF
cowboys stood holding their ponies,
making a sort of living fence around
the ball ground. AS I said, we were
run to the good in the ninth in
ming, but the Miners were last at bat,
and with one man out and a man on
second base the batter hit the ball
far out to left field. The left fielder
saw that he couldn't catch the ball,
and running in sand with those high
heeled boats made him so slow that
it didn't Seem possible he ever could
reach the ball and throw it back in
time to head Off the runner coming
from FIRST, and he hardly had chance
to cut off the second run and keep
them from beating us right there.
Perkins, the left fielder, sees the
game going away and gets desperate.
He takes a flying jump onto cow
pony friend of his was holding near
the line and starts to chase that ball
on horseback. Just how he would
have made out I don't know, but just
as the cayuse catches up with the
ball it gets scared at seeing the ball
roll, and started to buck. l never
saw such pitching and bucking, and
right In the middle of the perform
ance I sees the ball coming at me
from left field like a fash of light.
The first runner still is rs feet from
the plate. The ball came into my NIT
so hard it almost knocked me down,
but I stuck to it and touched the
runner out. What had happened l
didn't understand, but found out aft
erward that the bucking broncho had
picked up that ball in his rear shoe
and when he kicked he kicked it from
deep left field straight into my hands
and saved the game for US.

that no garbled reports shall reach
the east.
] with some other fellows who are
wintering out in this part of the
country, went up to the Swan-Hilda
district to play game of ball. The
gold miners up there offered us lib
eral terms to come up and play their
picked team and we went. If 1t had
not been for me the home team there
would still be poor. Now the second
baseman and shortstop are million
aires, and the frst and third base
men and pitcher are making money SO
fast they don't know what to do with
it, while the outfielders and the
catcher are selling stock in the east
and expect to develop rich mines on
their territory. And all because of
slide / made.
The grounds there were laid out on
a piece of level land just below the
mountain shelf. The big gold claims
and workings all are higher, and that
particular spot had been prespected
over many times and declared not to
be rich enough in gold to work. SO no
one claimed it.
Well, to our surprise, those miners
were giving us a hard game and the
score was tied up in the eighth when
I got to first on hit to left center.
The next batter popped out-and I
decided to try to steal second. 1t
was that steal that made them mil
lionaires. I got away with a running
start, but the catcher made a beauti-
full peg to second and thought l was
out, but took dive in front of the
bag, ptvoted around 1t and got clear
under the baseman. / hit the dirt
so hard that 1 tore big furrow in
front of the bag and when got to my
feet was surprised to see the base
man throw the ball 20 feet away, and
instead of going after it, he dropped
down and began scratching at the
ground. l saw in an instant that in
sliding I had uncovered a streak OF
gold-bearing ore-but instead of stay
ing there at second base and becom-
ing a millionaire the desire to win
that game was too strong. I passed
up the m1ll1OnS anu TORE IOF LulrOo
When I reached there saw the Sec
ond baseman and shortstop excitedly
stepping OFF their claims, and the
others were beginning to do the same,
so l sprinted on home with the win
ming run. By the time I scored and
got back down the field the whole ball
ground was laid off in claims and the
third baseman, who couldn't cover as
much ground as blanket, was claim
ing clear out beyond the stand.
The ore I uncovered assayed $36
a ton, and the second baseman and
shortstop were rich right then.
They were ungrateful. Neither one
offered to take me into partnership,
although l made the strike. Still, it
was not as bad as it might have been.
When l got back to Los Angeles /
washed my uniform and 1t assayed
$167 in gold dust.
It pays to hit the dirt.

DU POINT TO BUILD HIGHWAY

Gen. T. Coleman Du Pont is going to
build at his own expense the first
link in the great highway from New
York to Washington. A boulevard is
an unusual form for wealthy mans
public gifts to take. Delaware is the
state which is to be made the bene-
ficiary of such a gift. Gen. Du Pont,
has offered to give to that state a
highway, running from end to end of
the commonwealth, distance Of 1O3
miles. 1t is to be $50 feet wide and
will cost from 100000 to 100000.
In his offer of the highway Con.
Du Pont stipulated that he would re-
tain the sides of the road and re-
quested public utilities franchises up
on them. This feature of his offer
came in for much criticism and led
Mr.. Du Pont to modify 1t consider
ably. He now offers to build the
road, retain the sections on the side,
but turn them over free of charge to
any concern which will obligate itself
to build an electric railway line or
rio obioo+ ic tn make the road a mOnu.

IS ONLY LIVING EX-SPEAKER

One of the notable events at the
passing of the Sixty-f1rst congress was
the retirement from active political
life of one Of the countrys best
known statesmen, Gen. Joseph War
rem Keifer of Ohio, whose political
career has extended throughout many
years. General Keller holds the
unique position today of being the
only living ex-speaker of the house Of
representatives. He held this i'm
portant place in the F'orty-seventh
congress, and since the death Of John
G. Carlisle this honor has been his
alone.
General Keifer took part in the very
first skirmishes Of the Civil war, and
when General Lee laid down his arms
at Appomattox the commander of the
One Hundred and Tenth Ohio volun-
teer infantry was there to witness
that memorable event.
