HOW NATURE LEADS US ON
After the Courtship Dreams With
Their Bright Hues Come the
Babies Future Dreams.

Love Is an illusion. Some seem to
take it as bitter thing that after the
honeymoon the married pair settle
down to the humdrum of everyday
ness. But. in the first place, they
never quite become entirely disillu-
stoned. The stain of the rainbow lin
gers in the average marriage, and in
the second place. even II this illusion
passes. another comes, for there are
the children. and lover and lass who
once dreamed OF each other now are
father and mother and must dream of
the babies future.
Illusions are Natures device for get
ting things done That is why she
fills young men so full of illusions as
to their own power Heaven help us
II young people knew precisely what
they could do They would do moth
ing at all.
And II girls knew just what mar
riage was going to be. and all their
future down to the grave, they would
never marry. Illusions are Natures
bait.
Life Itself IA progressive Illusion:
"Maia" the Hindus call IT,.
And we are not poor dupes. Nature
Is not cheating us. and sneering at us
the while. She is leading us on In
love, as we lead our little children

BATTING is DECREASING.
Use Of Hit and Run Play Often Harms
More Than Helms

That the adoption Of the socallcd hit
and run game has done much TO de-
crease batting there is not the slight
est doubt About one team i'm ten play Is
this game as IL was intended. while the
others are merely handicepping theme
selves by attempting IT, In the major
leagues today the hit and run play
goes through about once out of ten
times, and why a weak hitting team
should play it more than occasionally
is hard 10 understand.
It might be argued that by drawing
the mioldcrs out of position team s
chance for hitting safely would be in
creased. but this is more than Offset 10y
The fact that on innumerable occa-
sions the batter is forced to hit at
a bad ball when this play is on. Sue
cessful hit and run plays are made
on clean base hits. which would be hits
under almost any condition
1t is but seldom. indeed that The
play works as it should that is. TO draw
an inielder out of position and b1ve
the hall roll through the place he has
lust vacated. which would have provci
an easy out hut for the lcaving q
his position Nv the ipdcldcr. That the
play is of great value when intclli =
gently used there is not the slightest
doubt. but when adhered to strlctly
under all conditions it serves only to
make good hitting team weak one

preme court judgment took effect.
From his holdings of Standard Oil
stock Mr.. Rockefeller derives an in
come of $90,000,000 a year. His in
come from other sources varies, rum
ming as high as $25,000,OOO and as
low as $15, 100000; so that his yearly
income varies between $55,OOO,0 900
and $65,00,000.
In 1865 John d. Rockefeller achiev-

he was worth $5,000,000, and in 1890
