THE NATIONAL GAME.
Baseball Is Played All Year Round,
Winter as Well as Summer.


Baseball is the national game. 1t
is played with a ball and bat in the
summer time, and with newspapers,
injunctions, contracts and trust
magnates in the winter. Originally
baseball was a game to see which
player could get the most runs. OF
late it has become a game to see
which magnate can get the most
players. The magnates fight for
the peunant all winter and the
teams ratify the decision the next
summer.
Baseball is divided into different
denominations, like money. A play
er is a man who throws a ball or
catches it or bats at it. A team is
composed of nine players who play
and nineteen more who are drawing
salaries. A league is composed of
eight teams and a s~quabble over the
salary limit. A commission is com
posed of all the leagues in the coun-
try. Baseball is now so well organ
lied that if a player plays lone old
cat with his infant son without the
commissions permission he is fined
more than if he hit the same son
with a baseball bat.
1t is a very difficult matter to
play baseball successfully. 1t is
even more difficult to witness a
game in an expert manner. A good
baseball player can play $50 games
in succession, but a baseball fan
who goes to three games in success
sion becomes so hoarse that he has
to talk on his fingers. A player can
throw a ball 100 yards, but some
fans can throw pop bottles two
blocks. Baseball is not played in
the English language. 1t is played
in the American language, which
was invented by the baseball re-
porters.-Peoria Herald Transcript.

Where the Guns Kick Hard.

Duck shooting at IN altitude Of II.
900 feet. on the Junin pampa. along
the shore of the lake of that name. is
sport that can be followed in Peru
Very peculiar effects are noted I'm this
rar@tied region. probably the highest
altitude for this sport in the world.
Tn" guns kick viciously and the shot
does not scatter promptly. making
long shots successful. This phenome
non is due to the lack of density of the
air. which is only about eight pounds
to the square inch against fifteen at
sea level. Another interesting fact is
that the ducks have no fishy taste. as
hSh do not exist in this altitude.

nine. You want to know about them
l knew you would.
Well. hereby hangs the tale, or. rath-

ported them from some unknown re-

back to the original proposition, colo
nial lamps, you must know that they
are the latest fad for lighting the draw
ing room. These lamps are of brass
or glass, and when colonial effects are
impossible in ones home Florentine
lamps of carved wood are substituted
The lamps may be fitted for oil, gas or
electricity, as is most convenient, but
they must have shades of real fllet
lace over silk.
Custom has it. too, that the lamps
should be arranged in pairs and on ia
bles that correspond in period style
and there must be no confusion of diff
ferent kinds of lamps in the same
room. So many people seem to ignore
this decorative law. and the tumble Of
lighting styles is often hopeless.
There are fascinating ways Of ar
ranging the pair Of lamps. In Emily's

on each side. and another pair throw
light upon colonial writing table. At
the sides of the room again are the
lamps in formal places.

are generally dyed deep coffee color,

when 1t fits into the picture. The lace

Imaginary Worries.
Speaking Of French furniture re-
minds me of a call made yesterday.
The young and pretty hostess sat on
Louis Seize sofa. dressed in stunning
gown, and discoursed to me of nothing
save her woes.
Now, Elsa, if there had been one real
woe among them you know how heart
lily l should have sympathized, but the
worst of them were these: One Of the
luncheon dishes had been a failure;
a new walking suit did not fit, and she
was going out that night to a recep-
ton where she would be obliged to
meet a woman she didn't like.
These grumbles really occupied all
the time l spent with her. and l went
out into the darkness thinking Of every
sorrow l had ever known and every
trouble that could ever happen to me
and arrived at my own door feeling
ready to cry.
At another calling place l did hear
something more inspiring. My hostess
there was little woman who has to
make brains take the place Of money.
and she told me that she has for a
long time made practice at the mid
season sales of watching out for gowns
of impossible colors. Every dressmak-
er has gowns of this sort at the end Of
the season and is willing to let them
60 for whatever they will bring. This
clever little lady buys these gowns.
which are passed over by the less
knowing. When she reaches home with
her purchase she rips off the good lace
and sews in net in its place Then she
takes the frock to the dyer and finds
out what color it will take best.
Almost invariably" said my conf
dant. 1T takes becoming color. the
lace is restored, and q smart frOck is
the result"
Nowadays. fortunately. the dyeing
establishments are SO scientific and
competent that frock need not be
ripped apart to be dyed and comes
back as fresh and perfect in its new
tint as il just newly made.

arranging home grounds( the for

cient Italian gardens and the natural

vocates a modified form of the lat
ter. The road leading up to the
house should be straight and the
house should be at least one hun
dred feet from the road in this dusty
country. A quadrangular arrange
ment is practical and easily laid out
in planning the farm and grounds.
Seclusion is thing to be desired in
arranging the lawns and immediate
surroundings of the house and the
busy farmer: should make it a study
to so place his buildings that all
needless steps can be saved. All
arrangements should be simple and
harmonious to be effective.
For hedges the speaker recon-
mended Russian mulberry and COM
mon gooseberry and for shade trees,
the box elder and maple.
Before open discussion was taken
up, Rev. Fraser spoke of the great
influence over children which an
attractive home has and advised
that they be interested in growing
flowers and gardens. He also spoke
of his plans for a lilac hedge and a
wild flower garden at his own home.
Mr.. Carr paid high tribute to the
ladies as the power behind the
movement for more attractive homes
and made spirited appeal to
owners to clean up the
roads which border their places. |
He told how they could be graded

time to clean up the public thorough

Mr.. Huff advocated planting
cherry trees along the roads to keep
the dust away from the homes and |
serve as bird protection for the Or
chards. He wasn't in favor of box
elders any place on the farm, as the
aphis feed upon them and use them
as breeding places. He advised
planting trees adapted to the coun-
try, the locust being especially
thrifty. Many of the American
