Music and art have been her pastimes, with a credible work in both, but the hair splitting intricacies of a chancery case hold the most vital concern for her now.

IJniversity. February 24-(Special.)- Notwithstanding the fact that the weather has been unfavorable a large part of the time. baseball practice has made good strides during the past two weeks. Every day brings out some new candidates, and if they keep on coming at the present rate the coach will have to divide the squad by three instead of two, as it is at present.
 The cold weather has probably been hardest on the pitchers. whose wings are not vet tough enough to do much fling ing. It Is hoped that by the first of March the weather will be warm enough for the hill artists to speed up little and show what they possess in the way of steam and curves. There is good bunch of men out and the coach ought to be able to pick trio of pretty effective beavers from the material on hand. Some of the aspirants are McNeil, Miller Warren, Bowman. Vande Graaff, Powell Barnett. Stephenson, Reynolds. oldshue and Hamilton. Among these McNiel, old shue. Vande Graaff and Bowman are probably the most promising. AS the work is only fairly begun. though, some of the others may show up better in the end. The only time to judge will be in the practice games, which will begin soon.
 As to the receiving end of the batteries the same doubt fingers as with the pitch CTS There are about six or seven men out for this position and the race will be a close one from start to finish Bill Harsh and Big Vande Graaff, who were just about on a par last year for second catcher, will probably be the most likely candidates. They will both have to move along at a pretty good clip, though, or they will be trod under by some of their competitors, among whom O'Rear. Wells and McCargo seem to be pushing hardest. The batteries will prob ably be pretty green with the exception of Greer. who has seen two years of ser vice on the hill with Alabamas team and will most likely be at his best this year.
 The infield, judging from the looks of things now, is going to be pretty well taken care of. The loss of Baumgartner will of course be felt. sit would on any team, but Joplin. a new man, promises to be a worthy successor, and with three more years ahead of him ought to de- yelop into one of the best shortstops in the business.

Bridling Ones Appetite

European Letter to the New York Sun.
 The Archbishop of Canterbury has two claims to distinction outside of the purely ecclesiastical. He is said to be Scotch man with a sense of humor.
 One of the stories told in justification of this statement is the following: He was going to luncheon once with a large company of clergymen. One of them murmured In his hearing, Now to put a bride on our appetites.' Doctor Da- vidson turned to the speaker and said at once:
 Now to put bit between my teeth''
 The archbishops other claim to dis tinction is that of royal descent. His mother was one of the Swintons of Kim merghame who are descendants of Rob- ert III of Scotland

LAKELAND HOTEL GROWING
BIGGER AND BIGGER

A Lakeland correspondent says
that some new developments have
taken place within the past few days
whereby the new hotel project will
result in a much larger building than
at first anticipated. The parties who
are financing this important matter
have decided to let the siX-story hote3
front at the corner OF Lemon street
and Kentucky avenue, as they have
recently purchased the residence Of
w. A. Poteet, which occupies this cor
ner. This will allow the hotel 10 ex-
tend. north over POO feet and on the
north end Of the tract will be located
several storerooms, but they viii only
occupy the first floor, while the bal
ance OF the buldine will be foi hotel
purposes. This will make the build
inc much larger and more costly. The
blue prints will soon be ready. and
Just as soon as the architects get the
specifications completed the same
will be placed in the hands of the
bidders and work will be started
when the contract is let They ex-
pect the work to be we'll under way
by the middle Of October.

TO MAN-THE sUPER-EAGLE

Substantially life in A. D., 1912, is
the same as B. C. 9211. There are
about a dozen staple pleasures stand
ing like beautiful petals around the
central pleasure of life.
What is the chief pleasure of

legislature. Just bein' alive, sir he

who casually expressed a conclusion

work to reach, and the most uneXpect-

The central pleasure OF life is the
mere being alive Work and play and

Of mankind in general and the stimu

To Man-Air-Lord


Hail to thee. Super-Eaglei
The Eagle was afraid
And sold his arms
For wings; he sinks
On mountain tops
And runs away
Into the tops
OF thunder clouds.
The coward eagle!
The jackal eaglei
The cur eaglei
Who, because he was afraid.
Gave up his arms
For wings, and left the plains,
The river valleys where
The tigers are and wolves
And rattlesnakes and more!
Where man resided,
Man, the devil of the birds
And beasts!
The little-headed eagle
His brain contracted by
The cOwardice
OF his retreat
The eagle snapped his hands
And arms for wings
With which to run away,
And so did every other bird
That flies; save insects
Everything that flies,
But man refused to run away
He stood his ground;
He fought the snake,
The wolf the lion; he
Made pits and spread
The tops with sticks and leaves
And trapped the tiger,
He stood his ground.
He learned to save the fame
That lightning made in tops
OF pine trees he
Preserved his sacred hands
And learned with these
To hold a club
And with it beat out brains
OF animals of chaos.
Of gorillas and the like.
Man kept his holy hands
And now at last
With arms as well as wings
The sky is his! The Sky.
The sky is his on his own terms
First animal to fy
With arms as well as wings;
Ambition lifted,
Hail TO you the Ocean Lord,
The Valley Lord, at last
The air on your own terms
Is liege to you.
Hail! Super-Eagle!
