Many have wondered why il was
so many negroes deserted the G.. o.
i. and voted for Teddy. An eNpla-
nation has been given by colored
citizen Of Midway. who says the
reason was that when the negroes
went into the booth with their bal
lot. they looked at the log cabin,
but saw no smoke coming out of
the chimney. They knew from this
that there was no fire or other COM
forts provided for them by the Re
publiCans. so they were afraid to
vote for n party that so plainly did
not have anything for them. AS a
result Teddy got the most OF them.
Heretofore the pictures of the log
cabin on the ballots had smoke
coming out OF the chimney. The
omission OF this important feature
in the picture was noticed by the
black nan and he acted accord

THE LIE

anu probable standard authority
on the subject at hand, declares
that when there is a lie going in
the community some of us wifi
drag ourselves into it rather than
stay on the outside and be happy.
That seems to be carrying the ar
gument too far. Certainly no sane
person would want to get his hide
shot full of holes.
Another writer of considerable
note has defined a lie as an ever
present help in time of trouble.
Another great writer amends this
definition by declaring that a lie is
an ever-present paddle with which
to stir up trouble.
Still another great writer has ad-
vanced the idea that universal
peace will be established in every
community in the world the first
second after everybody confines
himself to the truth when speak
ing of others. That's a big state
ment, but there may be a whole
lot in it.
There is no lying in this COM
munity, and we are glad to be able
to make that statement without
crossing our fingers We intend
this only as a we'll written, gram
matically correct, elegantly punctu-
ated and highly calculating essay
on The Lie, contributed to the lit
erature of the country as a most
untimely and peculiarly imperti-
nent collection of ideas from our
unreasoning faculties, based entire
ly upon extensive reading on the
subject, and not upon any personal
contact with the special subject
under particular discussion.
So here's where we stop lying.

The annual game of foot ball between

has the edge on the other. NJ Street has

Stop being a fatalist. That is lax

In exercising, remember that it is not
essential that you become very strong.
Don't try to overdo what your body can
stand. But make yourself tit enough to
keep your waste and repair operating
nicely. Then when the germ hordes come
trekking through your tissues they won't
find a camping ground. Only When you

golf. horseback riding. dumbbelH. Indian
clubs. the wall pulley. ETC., are other aids.

batting perfection. 1t is hard for most
left-handed hitters to bat southpaw pitch
erS.
Larry was very rough in his stick work
ing with him many tricks Of the honey
suckle circuit" For instance, he used to
throw his bat after he hit the ball. and
frequently he was not particular where
he aimed it. They call 1t slingin' the
bat around the lots. Finally SO many
catchers complained about this unpleas-
ant habit of the New York second base
man that rule was made in the league
that whenever a batter struck the catcher
by the careless manner in which he placed
the bat after hitting the ball he was out
of the game ipso facto, as Cicero used
to say.
Larry, who has no respect for the con-
ventions and niceties of the big leagues.
promptly got stout piece of twine and
tied his bat to himself after he had been
removed from three or four games for
bouncing the willow off the more or less
resilient shins of several catchers, to the
great detriment Of the shins.
II guess that rule was aimed at me-"
he remarked. but I fooled them
Larry still grabs off ,his cap when he
sngle and rushes around the bases with
it in his hand. He is one Of the most
picturesque batters In the big leagues,
and one of the most effective. He is now

able hitting which first obtained for him
the job on the Giants.
Many batters who have no desire to
step back when they first move into the
league get "beaned' and are plate shy
ever afterward. That is the ultimate
test Of gameness in ball player. To get
"beaned' is to be hit in the head with
fast ball, and it always means going to
sleep, the duration Of the nap depending
upon the speed with which the ball is
hurled and the susceptibility of the
bean" Sometimes it results in two
days in the hospital, spent in state OF
coma.
After such a terrifying experience
man is naturally timid about standing
up to the plate when the ball is again
aimed for the head Being aware OF this
fact and keeping a carefully compiled
list of the "beaned'' boys many pitchers
have acquired the unsportsmanlike habit
of throwing the first ball at the head
of these men, who have been "beaned''
once. This is to drive them away from
the plate. There is little sentiment in
base ball.
Many men have been ''beaned'' and
have come back strong. Roger Bresna-
han. formerly the Giants catcher, was
hit in the face with pitched ball when
the Giants were playing Cincinnati sew
eral years ago. and it made extensive
alterations in his face He spent some
time in a hospital. but when he came
out he was up there batting just as
strongly as ever, and never considers how
many are shot at his head. The pitchers
have long since abandoned the practice.
