Unearned Praise.

He was only poor little messenger boy.
 When the young woman stepped in to the elevator on the first floor Of the Williamson building it was crowd ed with big men-and that messenger boy. In an instant the boy snatched his hat from his head.
 One by one, but with shamod olusbes, the men in tte elevator fo.- lowed suit. The young woman wae not handsome, but she was neat ane trim and self-posscssed. Quickly she turned to the lad and said:
 "Yon are a little gentleman -one of tho old fashioned sort." and ahe flash, ed a wonderfully sweet smile upon him.
 The child looked at her in amaze, meht. He had been fumbling with his cap, but now he found the message he had stuck in it's sweatband took it out, stuck his cap on his head and be gan to whistle.

When Child Is Restless.

The principal cause of restlessness and sleeplesspess in children is in. digestion. usually brought on by un- suitable food, overlooking or irregu- lar meal hours.
 If child cries great deal, is rest less and loses sleep, look to the food and the time at which 1t is given.
 Another cause of sleeplessness which is frequently overlooked is too much light in the room It is natu- ral to sleep in the dark, and it ia particularly desirable that children should do so, for they are very sensi- tive to all impressions.
 The tender eyes and brain need the complete rest and relaxation that darkness permits. Tn spring and sum mer, when the sun rises at five o'clock or earlier, children will waken un. less the room is kept darkened.
 A green blind is best for this DIT. pose, and it is advisable to uce 1t in the child's bedroom if nowhere else.

son he always led in doubles was be- cause ne stretched so many pure sin gles into two-Baggers by his clever: running. When in his prime Wagner always came down to first base like the wind and made the turn at full speed. Nine times out of ten on the ordinary hit he would have to stop and hold first base. The tenth time there would be a slight tumble or de- lay in handling the ball in the outfield and he would go on to second. The extra base lnisht win the ball game.
 Cobb earned Ms.. fame by studying all opposing players, especially pitch CTS. He knows every move that is 'soing to be made by certain en and just what it means. He watches the outfielders and soon knows what their way Of handling the ball on the ground is. whether they will get it away quickly or not, and what kind of throwers they are. If man shows a tendency to slowness or inaccuracy Cobb makes mental note of the fact, and the next time he hits to that field he is likely to take an extra base

Proper base running, such as the New York Giants indulge in consists in taking chances without being too reckless. Nothing is eyer gained hv the conservative runner who sticks close to his base until the ball is hit over the fence. The followers of the old army game Will win only small portion of the games for ball club. On the other hand, the reckless run her, who is alwaEs getting pinched off at the most critical stages, is about equally voorhees, A combina- tion of aggressiveaess and caution is the right dope for successful base running. A better way to put it would be aggressiveness tempered by good judgment. Every pitcher has plenty of little signs unknown to himself which an observant runner can soon get next to. If more base runners use their brains to detect these signs and take advantage of them there would be more bases stolen The man who is smart enough always to take an eX. tra base when the opportunity offers is the winning player.

Farson Henderson, an evangelist of | color, was caught one bright morning holding the hands of one of the eve lambs Of his congregation. who was a Veiy popular young lady, and it creat- ed quite a stir among the colored pop llatlon, relates a writer in Norman E, MacE's National Monthly So the par son was brought up for trial and was questioned by the officers of the church as to what he meant by his action, aad this is what he had to say 1n answer to the question propounded to him: My hrudders, you have seen these great pictures, I suppose. so you know dat the great Shepherd an always pictured with q lamb of his flock in his arms"
 Yes. sah, parson, dat am so," ad. mitted Deacon Jones.
 Den, Brudder Jones, what am wrong in the shepherd of his flock holding lamb in his arnls?"
 This was too much for 3rudder Jones, so he proposed the officers of the church have call meeting that afternoon. After the point was dis nussed fully the following resolution was adopted:
 Resolved, Dat for the future peace and dignity of the congregation dat the next time Parson Henderson feels called upon to take lamb of his flock in his arms, dat he pick out ram lamb.''

Woman's Ane.

A few years ago after woman had passed thirty-ive she was relegated to the fireside and she looked and felt old. She lived in her memory, and all the money that was spent for little frills and follies was given to her daughter; for mother, all was over. Suddenly woman awakened to the fact that after thirty-five she is at her best, and that her beauty need not fade unless she wishes it.-Hom.e I,ife

 "Behave!" he said with laugh. What's the idea of that question:"
 "Everybody's asking it lately" was explained.
 There's your answer now" he re- piled, pointing to the diamond and the whooping, happy crowd. Any time a man can pitch nine strikes out of ten thrown balls and retire the side, you can bet your little bank roll that he isn't going back very far. Control like that will win even after his curve has gone"
 When Mathewson performed his feat of sending the Cubs to the junk shop in exactly four minutes tho crowd gave him a wonderful ovation.

About New Party

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, June 2S.--Wil-
Of insurance under Governor Hughes. Is
expected at Sycamore Hill soon to con-
suit with Colonel Roosevelt about the
organization of the new party movement
in New York state. During the repub-
lican national convention Mr.. Hotchkiss
was in Chicago sounding the sentiment of
delegates in regard to the pmination OF
Justice Hughes as compromise candi-
date.
Colonel Roosevelt said that the Balti-
more situation was shaping itself in a
way he believed would be Of advantage
to the new party. He expressed the
opinion that the course of events in
Baltimore had demonstrated the strong
influence of the men whom Mr.. Bryan
designated as the representatives of Wall
street.
IF Governor Wilson or some other
progressive is nominated now said the
colonel, ''the effect will be largely lost
after this long wait. If they had got
solidly together. at the beginning behind
Wilson rssome other man It might have
helped them. But 1t is plain that they
are now divided" tg
Colonel Roosevelt read magazine ar
ticle by Senator La Toilette. criticising
him severely, but declined to take up the
issue. There isn't anything that I can
say about Mr.. La Toilette just now," he
said.

preme court today denied rehearing in
the case involving the legality OF the re-
siduary bequest of Mrs. Mary Baker G.
Eddy to the First Church of Christ, Sci

the residuary bequest declared void and
the residue of the Eddy estate, valued
at about $2,00O,00 divided between Glover
and Mrs. Eddy's adopted son, DR.. Ebe-
nezer ]. Foster Eddy of Waterbury, Vt.
This was referred to the supreme court
for determination of the legal points in

the residuary bequest was legal and did
not conflict with statutes quoted by the
plaintiffs attorneys limiting the size of
bequests to churches. Counsel for Glover
