been carefully trained n will dash at
full gallop after a fugitive with the
bride dangling loose on their necks
while their riders fire over their heads.
The troopers have a great advantage
ovcr the regular militia, because, while
their discipline is semimilitary and
they have %cOrporals and S~ergcantS and
privates on their rolls, they are not
bound by the rigid military regime.
There are certain general rules gov
crning the men, but each man works
out a situation as seems best to him
when the time comes, for as 4 general
thing there is not an officer anywhere
neal to give orders.
1t is seldom that any Of the cities OF
the commonwealth see the troopers,
but a little more than two years ago.,
during the trolley strike in Philadel-
phia, there was so much disorder that
the authorities seriously contemplated
calling out the militia until 4 company
of ~constabulary arrived..s After the
first day, during which the troopers
had occasion to charge a mob that
congested Il street in the Kensington
mill district for blocks. there was no
more talk Of the militia and no more
rioting.
But the troopers are not reserved
alone for quelling riots. They act as
police officers in the district in which
they are stationed.
Policing In the Far North.
Tales of adventure We're recited in
the annual report of the royal north
west mounted police, which was off,
cially submitted last winter. There
are 6oG Of these Canadian mounted
men. and they keep peace among the
Indians and Eskimos of the north
west. The great distances they are
| obliged to travel. their lonely life, their
hardships and their methods Of deal
ing with lawlessness are all graphical
ly described.
| Besides keepin" the peace over a ter
, ritory extending from the internation-
al boundary Oh the south to the arctic
circle, they perform Il multitude Of
other duties. Yet there is 4 feeling
among their friends that their days as
an organization are numbered. One
reason given for this is that as the
territory becomes settled local govern
mentS in some instances indicate they
are jealous of the mounted police.
Although ordinarily the ranger po-
liceman wherever he may be is little
heard of. he usually possesses the stuff
of which heroes are made. Moreover,
he has demonstrated the fact on many
occasions. A good ranger must h" a
hrH 20 man.

in Harrisburg, the state capital, they
are known as the ~cOnstabulary of the
state of Pennsylvania.
There are about $50 of them, officers
and men, divided into four companies,
all under command of a superintend-
ent, whose headquarters are in Harris
burg. Each of the companies, headed
by Il captain, has its headquarters in
the largest town centering in a district
which is noted for its outbreaks.
The constabulary as an organization
is probably more like the Royal North
west mounted police or the Texas
rangers of years ago than any other or
%ganization of the present time. They
are mounted and uniformed, and it is
the color Of their uniforms and their
daring h~orselnanship which more than
anything else have won them the name
Of 'Rlack CossackS." Their service
clothes are Il deep blue black, with
cavalry breecles and military blouses.
Each man wears leather leggingS or
! puttecs. and each is QUILTED with an
ash riot stick about three feet long and
more than an inch in diameter, IL very
serviceable pistol and Il short carbine
which swings from the saddle bow.

Verses 20, 21.-Intense e
Jesus was now at the height of his
popularity. His preaching tour through
the towns and villages Of Galllee had
beef remarkably successful. Wher-
ever he went he saw physical distress
and spiritual anxiety, so that his COM
passionate heart was stirred. The Sc
lection of the twelve apostles was an
other important event. Not long after
this serious business Jesus returned TO
Capernaum and went directly to 81
mons house. The news Of his return
was speedily circulated. 1.-THE multi

to seize him and probably take him
hack to Nazareth.
Verses 22-3O.--Moral inconsistency.
The brief period which Jesus had
spent in Jerusalem at the beginning OF
his ministry had given the rulers much
occasion for offense. They were deter
mined to get rid Of him in some way.
His work in Galilee reused the sus-
picions of these leaders, and they sent
down some of their representatives
from Jerusalem to watch Jesus and SET
what charges might be preferred
against him. But "the scribes
which came down from Jerusalem" en-
deavored to explain away the cures by
declaring that he was in league with

ROUND THE BASES
BY NJ. PIRE

~OR several years it has been the
delight Of National league SYM
pathizers to boast Of the par
ent organizations superiority
in the backstopping line.
This was perfectly true two seasons
ago. when the younger league had no
one to compare with King, Archer,
Doom, Bresnahan or Gibson. but last
season the Americans developed a
number Of young stars, while, with the
exception of Chief Meyers of the
Giants, the Nationals were unable to
add to their list. Among the seasons
stars In the American league are jim

who is handling the deliveries Of
Walsh, Benz, LANCE and Scott in great
shape and is batting much yer 800 at

Nunamaker of the Boston Red Sox
Is one Of the most consistent players
in either league, and he has slowly
but surely displaced the veteran Billy
Carrigan as Boston's mainstay behind
the plate.
A wise guy said a few days z that
there's nothing to this stuff about a
ball player being able to place the ball
In right or left field as he chooses"
We have the assurance of Ty Cobb
that the batter can control the ball to
some extent. Ty says:
IL began to figure on the advantage
Of placing my drives, and this system
gave me many a base hit that l used
to lose.
"Take a man on first base ahead OF
me. The hit and run sign is then given.
Either shortstop or second baseman is
to cover the bag for the throw. leaving
one side of the diamond wide open. AS
the runner starts l watch the start OF
the rival infielder and then push the
ball toward the open space. Any old
kind Of a tap will go for a base hit.
You can't take a full swing and do
this, but you can at least push the ball
in that direction"
In the first three Detroit-New York
games Cobb, picked up three Of his five
hitsSFby sjamming the pill through un'
covered spots where ordinarily the tar
would have been Boscoed to a finish.

RANGERS PERILoUs DUTIES.

Rangers are state police under
the command Of the adjutant
general. They do the work that
the militia is kept to do in other
states. They run down high
waymen. cattle thieves, robbers,
murderers and every other vari-
ETY. of desperadoes. Without
them Texas, along the border at
least, could never have become
a cattle country. There are some
counties in Texas even now
where the Judge feels much
safer when there is a ranger or
two in the courtroom to aid in
maintaining order.
