Renew Old Romance.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-James
Mcdonald arrived here yesterday on
the steamship Harvard on the way to
Alberta, Canada, to meet Miss Harriet
Wcodside, his sweetheart of % years
ago, who until week ago believed
him dead.
Mcdonald sailed from the New Eng
land coast in the whaling bark Fannie
Griffith a quarter of a century ago.
Physicians had advised him to take a
sea voyage for his health and he ex-
pected to return and be married. The
Fannie Griffith was wrecked and Nc
Donald was believed to have been lost
on the North American coast. After
many hardships he made his way back
to the New England village and
found that Miss Woodside had mar
ried. He did not let his presence be-

NEW YORK, May 20-Striking la

ccssful sortie into Montclair yesterday
their object being to induce the lneI
employed on the new Glenfield Parl
to quit work The park adjoins Gler
Ridge, and when the strikers, number
ing about fifty, reached Green Ridge
| they were met by the two Belgian po-
lice dogs
The dogs were muzzled, but when
! they dashed at the gathering of strik-

dogs are trained to knock men down
by running between their legs and
some of the fleeing strikers were tum-
bled by the animals. In Monclair the
strikers were met by the police and
turned back.

REASON 1T OUT.

A home owner in Moscow, who de-
ponds upon work of some character
for his livelihood. whose annual por-
ton of the paving bond taxes would
not amount to more than his wages
for a few hours work, is invited to dc
some reasoning before voting against
the proposed paving bonds.
Would it not be bad business policy
to prevent the heavy taxpayers and
those owning thousands of dollars
worth of property within the proposed
paving district from spending some
of their money in improvements? and
especially when such improvements
will tend to enhance the value of all
property outside the paved distrist
as well as that within it?

while warm-hearted support for a

bring discredit upon the game. 1t is
time a healthy protest were raised by
the players. They have been too long
treated, and traded as mere chattels.
Baseball is a business, of course, but
it is also the national sport and if it
is to continue as such the players
must be men. Brains, daring, clean
living, muscle and nerve count in
baseball, and the diamond has place
neither for roughs, toughs, cowa rds
nor mollycoddles.

he desires from them, he does not

This is natural. Books are turned
out in such numbers, now, so cheap
ly and SO substantially, that they have
lost individuality. It's Identical with
the case of man who enlists for
war. His individuality becomes merg
ed into the mass of the army and only
by marked distinction can he rise
from the dead level.
Yet, books are more common and
more useful today than ever before.
Authors are paid more handsomely,
their works are more widely read the
avenues to advancement are more
numerous and less thorny than ever
previously.
However. we have made the reader

Where Able Men Fall Down.

Some men OF the very highest tai
ents and preeminently successful In
their chosen vocation seem to make
a sad muddle OF their matrimonial af-
fairs" said Judge w. NJ Christopher
Of Chicago recently.
"one OF the ablest lawyers I ever
knew. a man who had an absolute ge-
MUS for handling big cases. had two
nuptisl experiences. both OF which
were failures. In both cases, how
ever. the blame was almost wholly on
him. To tell the truth. he was about
three-fourths drunk when the marriage
VOWS were uttered on each occasion.
The number OF men who fortify them
selves with whisky to degree OF near
intoxication when about to get mar
ried Is bigger than the public dreams
OF. and this has direct bearing on
the vast number OF unhappy unions
and the consequent evil of divorce"
