SUSPENSIONS ARE NOT JUST
Patrons Of Baseball Games Punished
by League Executive When Play.
ers Are Taken Out.

The presidents of the American and
National leagues should have learned
by this time that it is unwise to pun
ish the patrons and owners of clubs by
suspensions, says the Chicago Evening
Journal. Ban Johnson suspended Ed
Walsh for five days and Tom Lynch
suspended Tinker and Zimmerman
for three days. These men are the
star attractions of their respective
clubs. A man pays his money to see
Walsh or Tinker and Zimmerman
play When he reaches the ball park,
he finds that they are out Of the game
because they have been suspended.
When the star is unable to appear at
theater the management usually Of
fers to refund the price Of tickets.
There is no refund at ball park, al
though the fans are as much entitled
to 1t under the circumstances as are
theater-goers. The suspension of ball
players should be stopped. The club
owners have only to order their presi-
dents to discontinue It, Suspending g.
ball player does not punish him, no
matter how much he may deserve pun
ishment. 1t does not punish him to
give him a rest, but fine of say
500 for foul or obscene language on
the field would hurt him. If player
knew he would be hit in the pocket
book every time he used bad language
on the field, the conversation on the
ball field soon would be a model for
drawing rooms. The underlying idea
OF suspensions-that of maintaining
discipline and keeping order-can not
be criticised. Order and discipline
are absolute essentials but it has
been proved time and time again that
suspension as a disciplinary measure
is failure. 1t Furnishes only the club
owner and the fans-not the Offend
Ing player. 1t is unfair to lake games
from one club and give them to an
other by suspending the most valuable
players. The spirit of American
craftsmanship rebels at such methods.

The Middle-hged Woman.

OF the many ways in which the mid
dle-aged woman may vary the effect
of her afternoon gowns none is sim
pier than the use of a collar and cuffs
of white voile edged with scalloping
and embroidery in floral design An
other change may be the frock set of
white chiffon with border of black
malines, and still another is the one of
black net hemstitched with silver
thread. Some of these collars are so
long in front that they terminate only
at the waist line, where they cross in
surplice effect and are tucked away
under the girdle. An excellent model
of this sort is Of light blue lawn en-
broidered with black dots, and Sec
ond is of white agaric trimmed with
tiny folds of broadcloth, alternating
with eponge.

The chaplain noticed it, flushed, and

WINTER LIFE OF ANIMALS.

IL IS clear, crlSp morning when you set out There was a snowfall the day
 before ye5terday-not yesterday, be- cause animals usually remain in their
 holes several hours after a storm. The
 countryside is spangled white The
 rusty tamarackS in the sWamps the
 tawny roadside willows the delicate
 lilac of the bare blackberry vines, give
 a rOte of Subdued but rich color to the
 landscape From the billage behind,
 wood smoke rises in the still air Ahead
 you see the slender second growth
 trees up the mountains like a delicate
 cross matching made with gray crayon
 on white ground. The world is lovely
 but not wild. Winter is in her best
 mood. Not q mile from home you en-
 ter the still woods, where there is no sign of life save for an occasional squirrel or chickadee. but where, through d break in the trees, or over tkhe wall where the weasel lives you
 can still see the village spire What wild things passed through here last night? None, surely for the high school SleiSh-ride party went shouting by on the road. But let us look at the tell tale snow and see.

 We have passed MT. WeaSel's wall, and the spot where the deer mice danced. Keeping our eyes to the ground, we see enumerable squirrel tracks, groups of four prints some times three feet apart when the squir- Tel took a long bound. and every now and again they disappear into round hole in the snow Usually there is second hole a few feet farther on. The squirrel came up again probably with a cone. Follow his track, and it will lead to the base of a tree or an old stump. and there you will find fresh bits of the cone-crumbS from his ta- ble You will find tracks of cartridges too and places where they have scratched the snow on d southern bank till the fresh green of the partridge berry vines gleams through, and per haps a red berry or two, overlooked by the bird. Squirrels and cartridges to be sure. are day neighbors rather than night, but you may be certain they , were up earlier than we were.-Walter Prichard Eaton in Harper's Magazine.
