fool all the people all the time
It's being done daily at tremendous

the person done.
One Of my first errands took me to
an exclusive beauty shop in Bond street
which has an old and established repu-
tatiOn and which was one of the first
places in London to open a manicuring
department
"Of course they viii have something
quite new in the way Of finEernail pol

tionally pretty manicure and told her
to do her best and newest
She did.
She looked me in the eye while she
whitfield my nails, and told me all the

In her sweet English voice she

she inadvertently cut me. The light

smallest baby can make a noise which.
Will cause an old bachelor three locks
away to tear the picture of Roosevelt

This is because a baby deals exclu-

thinks OF nothing but making noise.
Men who ave become great by stick
ing to one thing and learning all about
1T, claim that specialization is a new
idea, but for over 5000 years babies
have specialized in noise and their
success is more impressive than that
OF Edlson or Hans Wagner.
Babies are very young and have no
pasts to speak of. They are greatly

Babies are great diplomats. A baby

In his pajamas, though the man
would positively refuse to do it for
his wife or his employer, or the presi-
dent of the United States. Men who

anyone else. will sing half the night
when requested to do so by a mere
baby with no particular eloquence at
it's command. Babies are the greatest
gamble in the world. 1t costs $4,000
to raise a baby, and you never can tell
whether it is going to be worth $4,000
or 30 cents when it grows UP. How
ever, if 1t is a girl. you "a almost al
ways find some young man to take a
chance on her in that other great
gamble-matrimony.
Babies are very Feeble and could be
completely demolished by a strong
man. Yet they often live for 80 years.
which is more than any strong man
can do. But babies do not smoke
cigars, drink cocktails or eat 10 griddle
cakes at a sitting. Feed a babe on

fade away. Strong men grow old and
feeble on beefsteak, while small babies
grow big n strong o milk alone.
There are three kinds of babies-cow

The Pitcher.

There was a time when the American
small boy Hearned to grow up and be
conn president of his country. He
might still take the job if it We're thrust
upon him, but he is too busy trying TO
become a great Baseball pitcher to
waste any time in vain yealns.
The pitcher is the human gatliAe gun
who shoots the bah at thc batter. Ii
is his mission to protect the bail from
all injury at the hands of the latter. He
is the mainapring of the team and the
care with which he winds himself up
for each throw shows that he apYre-
ciates the fact. A successful pitcher
can fill a baseball park twice y week
with admirers of baseball deisar;e. con
tortion work and target practice.
The pitcher must not only throw the
ball violently. bat he must deceive The
batter as to his Intentions. 1t is beau
tiful to watch q good pitcher doing
this. He balances himself on one toe,
wraps the other about his waist, loops
both arms about his neck, rubs his
nose on his trousers. wag his left car
to the catcher as a signal. and then
uncoils like a catapult. In this way he
retains such an influence over the ball
that it will frequently hesitate half way
to the plate. and almost come back to
be Rugged some moro.
Occasionally "A pitcher who has tied
himself up in mis- fashion, forgets the
combination and the result is very dis
tressing. He must be taken entirely
apart and reasseInbled before hs can
get his neck out from under his Shout
der blades.
There arc two kind OF pitchers-wet
and dr.. The latter curves d ball with
out the aid of glue. saliva or porous
plasters. The former ticks the ball With
his long glistening tongue, and then
hurls ii at the batter. who is either
drowned or is deceived into striking AT
the spray. Spitball pitchers are usually
very effective until they SC dry in the
seventh inning. If there We're amy way
