How misery does love company!
A specious plea is now being made
by some of the Roosevelt followers
for Democrats to join them in an
organization to "cut loose from both
thu. old parties and form clean or
SANITATION of patriotic citizens" or
something to that effect, How they
would love to see Democratic dis
sension and decentralization akin to
their own, But it is a hypocritical
cry and should not be needed by any
Democrat. The Democratic party
is all right-the same it has been
for 10! these many years. No loyal
Democrat should desert it now, on
the eve of its most glorious victory.

slipping the lariat over Otto Knabe,

Joe Kelley was the first OF the fail

REMAIN FOR MANY YEARS
While Jennings Says They're

Stahl Says Ten
BY RALPH L. Y0NKER.
Red Sox outfield-$50, 900.


Offered these two valuable pack
ages, Hughie Jennings would take the
players.
That is, Jennings considers Speak
er, Lewis and Hooper worth hfty thou
sand cold bones
Yet Jake Stahl, manager OF the Bos-
ton team, would sneer at that price.
Jake says that there isn't money
enough In baseball TO buy these three
men from the Boston club.
Jake has heard Of hyperbole and
has made excellent use OF the figure OF
speech, but II Is certain that he
wouldn't consider the price Jennings
named.
But, Of course, Hughte would be the
purchased; Stahl the seller. That
makes much difference.
Except for their difference In point
eof view, both managers are well quail
fed TO talk OF both ball players and
high fiance. Stahl is the yice-presl-
dent OF the washington Park bank IN
Chicago and has been in the banking
business In the Windy City for four
years. Jennings is director in
Scranton bank.
Jennings says that. barring in-
1uries, the Sox outfeld will remain
intact for a star aggregation for seven
years, II the men take care OF them
selves. They are all young men,
Speaker, at the age OF %, being the
oldest in the lot, and with moderate
living should last until 1920.
Stahl says that all three men take
excellent care of themselves and that
they will last for ten years yet in the
majors Speaker has a farm down in
Texas; Lewis and Hooper come from
the sunny coast of California.
Speaker is the most valuable man
in the trio. He is most valuable be-
cause he is more sensational. He is
the glitter of the Boston outfield for
the same reason that Cobb is the bril-
liant light of the Tiger far gardens
He pulls of more spectacular catches,
he hits better and he Is more speedy
and daring on the bases.
Furthermore, Speaker has had the
most publicity. He is the best known
of the three men and therefore is the
best drawing card.
For these reasons, This would be
worth half OF the $4,000, with Duffy
Lewis bringing $4,000 and Hooper,
$4,000.
Taken all in all this trio is worth
more than any other big league out
field today.
Jake Stahl expects his team to be
intact next year. While he watches

Ing new men for the 1913 season, he

They Do All the Hard Work While
Lazy Men Loll and Smoke.
The lot of women in Portugal is not
an enviable one. according to Mr.. Au-
brey F. @. Bell, who in his book, I'm
Portugal" thus describes the labor
that falls to their share:
Portuguese men are so VIGOROUSLY
indolent that it is no exaggeration to
say that two-thirds of the work of Por-
tugal Is done by women. To them the
Portuguese word mourejar is really ap-
pncable, since, in fact. they work like
Moors or slaves. They work In the
fields and appear to bear the brunt Of
the labor.
'Tn one field the woman in the heat
of the day draws up bucket after buck
ct Of water while the man sits perched
In shady olive tree. In the neighbor-
ing field man watches SIX women at
work among the maize. In a third
a group Of women stand working in
the summer sun while group of men
sit at the same work under a vine trel-
lis.
Everywhere are to be seen women
with huge loads of immense weight
while the men accompany them empty
handed. The man lies in his OK cart
and must have cigarro and cope Of
wine or brandy after his hard days
work, or he sits at his counter and bids
his wife go out into the cruel sunshine
to fetch heavy bitten of water OF

quarries. Women row heavy barges

A PROBLEM IN PICTURES.
And the Peculiar Coincidence by
Which X Was Solved,


Which 1t Was Solved.
Some years ago a publishing house
was preparing to issue a new edition
of the writings of Thoreau, writes
Charles S. Olcott in Art and Progress
The head of the house and a member
kf his staff were in consultation about
the method of illustration. 1t was
agreed that the pictures must be true
to nature, but how to get them was
the problem. Artists who do book IL
Illustrating could not be expected to go
into the woods and make pictures
which would In any way assist the
text to reveal nature as Thoreau saw
it. Photographs would be admirable,
but where was the professional photog-
rapher to be found who would under

sunshine and rain, In summer and win

which Thoreau recorded in his Jour
naI?"
While the two men pondered caller

had taken up his residence in Concord
that he might visit the scenes there
described. In all seasons and all kinds

the woods and over the fields with
his camera. Passionately fond of ma

To him photography was a pastime.
1t was not his profession. For the
pure love of nature and Of art and
with no thought of pecuniary gain he
had accomplished the very feat which
the two business men had thought SO
difficult, and by curious coincidence
he appeared at the Office to exhibit
the result of his work at the precise
moment when its desirability was be-
ing discussed.
