WHY BASEBALL PLAYERS
NEVER HAVE POCKETS IN
THEIR SHIRTS.

In the May American Maya
zine, Hugh S. Fullerton writes
an article full of interesting
stories of freak plays that have
won great baseball games. Fol-
lowing is one of the most re-
markable stories:
Among the abnormal incl
dents that figured in the earlier
history of the national game,
perhaps none is as well known to
old-timers as the one which hap
pened to Cliff Carroll, on the st.
Louis grounds, when he was a
member of the famous Browns.
Perhaps you have wondered why
baseball players have plain shirt
fronts. and why so few players
have breast pockets. Cliff Car
roll is the reason. He was run
ming forward to take a base hit
on the first bound. The ball
bounced crooked and hit him on
the chest. He grabbed at the
ball hastily and, as he clutched
it, he showed il down into the
handkerchief pocket on his shirt
front. The runner saw Carroll
Juggling and straining to tear the
ball out of the pocket and instead
of stopping at first, he sprinted
onto second while Carroll, still
trying to dislodge the ball, ran
to second. The batter passed
the fielder and turned for third
with Carroll in pursuit. At
third Carroll stepped and tried
in vain to release the ball, and
the runner kept on across the
plate and scored the winning
run. Chris Won der Abe. who at
that time was at the head of the
euphonic trio, Won der Abe,
Muckenfuss and Diddlebock,
which operated the club, was
furious and ordered all pockets
removed from baseball shirts.
Other teams followed and the
pockets never have been re-
stored, except by a few players
who are willing to risk the repe-
tition of the accident

Ida vi. Tarbell's Sharp Re.
buke to Unproductive
Women.

In an article on The Irrespon-
sible Woman and the Friendless
Child" in the May American
Magazine, Ida M. Tarbell says:
The heaviest burden to-day
on productive America, aside
from the burden imposed by a
vicious industrial system, is that
of it's non-productive women.
They are the most demanding por-
ton of our society. They spend
more money than any other group,
are more insistent in their cry for
amusement, are more resentful
of Interruptions of their pleas
ures and excitements, go to
greater extremes of incidence
and uneasiness.
THE really serious side to the
existence of this parasitical
group is that great numbers of
other women, not free, forced to
produce, accept their standards
of life. We hear women, useful
women, everywhere talking about
the de~sirability of not being
obliged to do anything, commits

WHAT'S THE REASON
Many 0pelousas People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

Many 0pelousas People in Poor Health
Without knowing the Cause.
There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause of
their suffering. Day after day
they are raeked with baekache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of iltering the
blood and that is the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys,
assist them in their work-give
them the help they need. You
can use no better remedy than
Deans Kidney Pills-endorsed
by over one hundred thousand
people, and by your neighbors in
0pelousas.
Mrs. 7. Compton Chachere,
Landry ST., Opelousas, La,
says: "A member of my family
received splendid results from
the use of Deans Kidney Pills,
procuoed from Shute's Drug
Store. He was troubled for
some time by irregular passages
of the kidney secretion accom-
paniediby pain N his book. These
troubles, I believe, were brought
on by hard work and heavy lift

secretions were restored to their

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITES
CHARACTERIZATION OF
TAFT and ROOSEVELT

William Allen White writes in
the May American Magazine a
ststement of the relations be
tween President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt. He calls his article,
Should Old acquaintance Be
Forgot" Following is a brief
extract:
THE tendency of men to adj
mire traits that they do not pos
sess is well marked in human
nature. It is the basis of friend
ships between so-called opposites.
Probably this tendency was the
basis of the almost lifelong
friendship that has existed be-
tween William Fl. Taft and Theo-
dore Roosevelt. For If ever two
men were opposites in tempera-
ment and in equipment for life
these two men are opposites. As
a man and as a citizen the quail
ties that each possesses are
praiseWorthy: MI. Taft's caution,
his judicial indicision, his habit
of waiting until the last bit of
testimony is before him, in form
ing his opinions, and his insist
ence upon applying rule a md
precedent to all his important
transactions, are as excellent
qualities as are Mr..
Rooseyelt's intuitive way of tax
ing short cuts to his decisions,
and his insistenee upon applying
moral standing rather than those
of rule and precedent, in reach
ing his conclusions. NJ e of
these different temperaments
often do first-rate team work to-
gether. Each alone may do a
big important work. In small
matters these contrasting traits
in men are lost in the tracery of
life, and make up the charm of
variation in the pattern of the
passing day. But when men of
exactly these traits find them
selves opposited in the leader
ship of men, in a large way,
their opposing points of view
divide their followers into fac
tons and parties and schism,
that are fundamentally asunder.
This is what has happened in the
United States within the four
years last past.
Nominally President T a t
and Colonel Roosevelt are con-
tending for leadership of one
party. Practically their con-
trasting traits of character have
attracted followers who view
life at angles so diametrieal that
these two men are in fact and
in truth leading factions of a
party SO widely separated that
neither faction can hope to win,
at the election, after winning at
the nominating convention, by
attracting the other faction, but
only by attracting men of like
temperament and viewpoint out
side their party. II Mr.. Taft is
nominated he can hardly expect
to win back the followers Of Col
onel Roosevelt; Mr.. Taft must
rely upon the conservative Dem
ocrats to join the conservative
Republicans in supporting him.
Colonel Roosevelt similarly may
look for the ardent and con-
scientious supporters of Mr.. Taft
to rally to tome conservative
Democrat, leaving Colonel Roose-
velt, if he is nominated, to APP
peal to the independent pro
gressive vote Of the country to
repair tn loss that he will sus-
tain by the detection of the re-
dictionaries"
