Along a track OF red!

I said I would a Dragon slay;
I'd like to do this everyday,
And SO would you. dog Ding!''
Ding barked out loudly. Yes. would
Drive Dragons often as could.
And so I think we really should
Go on and seek the Thing!
Then Gringle went along once more
Upon a wild and fearful shore,
On which gigantic waves did pour,
And all at once he found
That, just as he'd expected. he
A very fearsome thing did see
But not the T-H-I-A-G!-
A-sprawIing on the ground!
It was the Sea Serpent he saw
With waving crest, understanding

Into the heart OF Ding!
So Gringle drove It in the foam,
And turned and hied him quickly home
Saying another time he'd roam

ADVENTURES OF GRINGLE
AND DING

YOUNG Gringle was pleasant
wight
Who sailed forth at morning
light.
Gle might have started overnight,
Eor with him he had DingD
He went adventures for to seek,
And said, 81 may return next week,
And then you'll hear that can speak
About the dreadful ThingI''
He sailed forth all bright and gay
Soon as he saw glimpse Of day,
With Ding a-barking by the way
For Ding he was q dog.
He went Northeast by South and
West,
Thinking that way must be the best
For one upon adventurous quest,
And soon he saw a Fogi
He boldly penetrated through
Until he found he was in view
OF countries very strange and new
Upon the other side.
He saw the land Of Giants big,
Of Fairies small as any grig,
He saw-he did-ths Flying Pig,
And on It had q ride!

speed and should be held in reserve
for rescue work.
"We hear a lot about the great base
running of the Giants and their pen
chant for running wild on the sacks.
Well, that is all very fine at times,
but the club stealing the most 50 cks
is not necessarily the winning outfit.
The worlds series is too short for
base running to cut much of a igure
and the history of past conflicts for
the universal title has shown that
both contenders are so much keyed up
and realize the Importance of the bat
ties so much that they do not take
many chances.
TT is the club that runs the bases
with judgment that wins, not the one
that runs hog wild. Besides this the
Red Sox have in Bill Carrigan one of
the brainiest men in the country, and
he may be depended on to outguess
McGraw's speed marvels' and keep
them from doing very much thieving
when it counts. McGraw has a lot of
fast players in fact, most Of his club
is good on the bases, but opposed to
backstop of Carrigan's class they
will not be able to take the scandal
Gus liberties that they do with some
of the National league receivers"

sensation Of the series II he sticks to
his fast ball and puts his slow one in
the refrigerator. The Giants cannot
hit a speed pitcher and on the dark
Polo grounds Wood ought to stand the
Giants en- their heads with his tre-
mendous smoke. But if : were Wood
I should suck to my fast bail and
curve. His slow one is too slow to be
very effective.
Just how good New York's pitching
staff is this year I cannot say. Mar
guard has been phenomenally success
full, but he appears to be slipping some
just now. Mathewson was easy for
the Red Sox in 1909, and they should
find him even easier now.
Ray Collins is a clever southpaw
who has one swinging at his motion
instead of at the ball. And ! do not
think that the Giants can bat success
fully against a southpaw.
Boston will have four good pitch
ers, while the Giants, to my way OF
thinking, can show. but two. O'Brier
is apt to be a puzzfgto McGraw's men
Bedient has a splendid fast ball, and
repeat that the Giants do not like
fast pitching. Hall also has great

Another new business house opens
its doors to the public in Pensacola

Mr. Raj, whose home is in Roches-

impressed with Pensacola. Mr.. Raj
visited practically every city in the
south, including the principal cities in
Florida. and says he likes Pensacola
better than any place at which he has

fall, laying Johnny Afedrew's Giants

Superior pitching, batting and field

IF the Red Sox get away with the
American league pennant, as 1 fully

they did in 1909, but in such a con-

THE WIGGLYS AT THE sEASaORE

WTHEN summer came the Wisgiys
w stayed
At shingleyshore: and there they
played
Upon the sands with pail and spade,
Or hand in hand
stroIIed on the gay marine parade
TO hear the band
Upon the beach two seals there were;
They kept machines for bathing there;
They were a sleek and supple pair,
Were Sol and Sim;
And when they saw the Daddy Bear,
They smiled at him.
The bears were always glad to find
A chance for sport Of any kind;
SO Mister wiggly smiled and signed
To Sol and Sim.
'.Al right" ne said, we're all inclined
To have a swim"
They hired q smart machine for four;
And, after they had shut the door,
A crowd collected on the shore
And waited there;
And soon they welcomed with roar
The Daddy Bear.
And presently, when Pat came out,
He looked so sporting and 50 stout, "a
Ana spIashed the water all about,
And spIuttered so,
The rank and fashion gave shout
And cried. "Bravor'
When Mrs. Wiggly came in sight
They held their breath, bewildered
quite;
But when the Tiggiy Wiggly Mite
At last appeared,
The crowd went frantic with delight
And wildly cheered.
Hulloi What's that? Another shout
Wtggly and Pat are swimming cut!

This strong institution reports hav-
ing enjoyed a very prosperous year,
with the exception of the fire which
destroyed their handsome building
last June and caused them to pass
the usual semi-annual dividend in
July. Dividends were resumed in
January, when IS per share was paid
to its stockholders and a handsome
amount carried to the reserve &C
count. Thus it is seen that even a
fire which destroys its home cannot
harm a well-conducted bank. But
to the contrary, the officers of this
institution report that the fire seems
to have been good advertisement,
as their deposits and number of ac-
counts have materially increased
since the fire.
