FiUPE FoR WOMEN OF FIFTY
Tine When She Should Be Phllo-
sopnical and Prepared for Wise
Old Age.

There are people today asking with
all appearance of sincerity what a
woman of fifty or more can do. Their
confning work in the home, say these
observers, is done. A common sugges-
ton Is that they be utilized in poll
tics. This suggestion has its comical
side, Miss Tarbell declares. A per-
son who has nothing to do after fifty
years of life in a business as many
sided and demanding as that OF
woman can hardly be expected to be
worth much in business as COM
plicated and uncertain as politics and
for which she had had no training.
The notion that the woman's business
is ended at fifty or sixty Is fantastic
in the extreme. 1t only ends there If
she has been blind to the meaning Of
her own experiences; If she has never
gone below the surface Of her task
never seen in 1t anything but physical
duties; has sensed none OF its 1ntt-
mate relations to the community, none
of its obligations toward those who
have left her, none of those toward,
the oncoming generations. If it ends
there she has failed to realize, too,
the tremendous Importance to all
those who belong in her circle or who
touch it of what she makes of herself,
or her personal achievement.
A woman Of fifty or sixty who has
succeeded has come to a point Of
sound philosophy and serenity which
is of the utmost value In the mental
and spiritual development of the
group to which she belongs. Life at
every one of it's seven stages has its
peculiar narrowing experiences-hope
mingles with uncertainty in youth;
fear and struggle characterize early
manhood; disillusionment, the ques,
ton whether it is worth while, fill the
years from forty to fifty, but resolute
graphing with each period brings one
out almost inevitably into fine
serene certainty which cannot but
have its effect on those who are young
er. Ripe old age-cheerful, useful,
and nderstanding-is one of the
finest influences in the world We
hang Rembrandt's or Whistler's pic
ture of his mother on our walls that
we may feel its quieting hand, the
sense OF peace and achievement which
the picture carries. We have no bet
ter illustration of the meaning Of old
age.-American Magazine.

RATHER A PECULIAR hu 5sl
Chief Executive of New York Said TO
Have Marked Fondness
for Pigs.

Pigs Is pigs" with Mayor Gay eo.
of New York. They are his favo,its
animals, on foot. Besides raising
quite a number himself at his farm
Deep Wells, at st. James, L. l., he al
ways displays an interest in pigs
owned by his neighbors.
He insists on them raising pigs.
The pigless folk of st. James hear
from him (and he uses just as sharp
language in his neighborly conversa-
ton as he does in writing letters to
rat catchers, etc), and hear from him
often until they annex few pork
ers" as side line. Several denizens
of that locale admit they keep a few
pigs just to keep peace in the village.
Once a boy did him really good
turn and he desired to show his ap-
probation Of the act. Of course the
boy got pig for his reward. When
the mayor goes for his jaunt through
the countryside he calls on all the
farmers who raise pigs. The others
do not receive a visit from him.
Whenever he hears that pig is Ill,
no matter if 1t is six miles away, he
goes to see that pig. And he usually
prescribes some home remedy for the
animal. He has been known to walk
ten miles on the hottest day to visit
an indisposed pig.
When the mayor visits his country
place at the end of each week during
the summer there is always a group
of villagers on hand to greet him. AS
he goes among them shaking their
hands, instead of acquiring about their
health, he says: "How are your
pigs ?"-New York Herald.

The Swedes are expected by many fol-

that In every instance the time made on

Jim McALEERS PART IN WINNING
CLEVELANDS ONLY WORLDS TITLE

the Orioles would have taken this contest
and probably the pennant.
II was a struggle of sharp hitting and
clever fielding. The Orioles were making
their best stand for the Temple Cup. and
that meant they were formidable at
every stage. Cleveland led 2 TO / up to
the eighth. but the real crisis had passed
in the sixth inning Baltimore's trio of
awful swstsmen came up in that round.
and the game. as events proved, hinged
on the play OF McAleer.
John J. McGraw dropped hit back of
third base, and Willie Keeler hunted him
to second Hughie Jennings came up In
the pinch and a wave Of unrest swept
over the Cleveland crowd. They had seen
this aggressive player clean up on so
many occasions that they feared for the
result. The present leader OF the Tigers
was having one OF his best seasons as
batsman. He had hit near the 100 mark
in the National League season. The
fears of the crowd were well grounded.
The heavy-hitting OriOIe shortstop met
one of Cy Youngs curves with a crash
that seemed to doom the Spiders to i'm
pending disaster.
McAleer OWNED instantly what was
coming. He was away almost with the
crack of the hickory. Away back into
deep center he sailed with the speed of a
deer. pulled down the hit. stopped the
rally, and saved the game.
The Orioles. battling to the last ditch.
tied up the score in the eighth and went
ahead in the ninth. but the Spiders scored
the winning run. in the last half OF the
ninth, when McAleer hunted. enabling
ChiIds to score from third on Zlmmer's
infield hit.
Jimmy McAleer made the greatest play
Of his life when he bought stock In the
Boston club. one of the best paying
plays were his timely catch and oppor-
tune bunt in another decade, which
helped place him among the games
greatest stars.
The Washington herald., 1912-03-31
by IRWIN VI. HOWE,

OriciAI statistican Of the American League.
It's a far cry from player to major
league magnate. but that is the leap
James r. McAleer has taken in the last
dozen years. In 1885 he was ''Gentlemah
Jim" on the rough and ready Cleveland
Spiders. one OF the formidable clubs of
that day. Jimmy McAleer was a bril-
liant, hustIing fielder. probably the fast
est outfeIder Of that decade. He could
knock down a bully in the baseball ranks,
sprint to the sign board for a hot liner,
or execute a pennant-winning play with
dash and enthusiasm that made him
shining success. The same qualities
have made him one of the big eight In
the American League.
McAleer starred as Cne Of the bright
lights of the 1895 series for the Temple
Cup. and helped bring the only worlds
pennant to Cleveland in its history.
Without the brilliant fielding of McAleer
the Orioles would have won the first
game OF that series. Baltimore in that
event probably would have taken the
worlds championship.
ANY club to defeat the Orioles was
compelled to play wonderful ball. Han
Ions great machine had won the Ma
tionsI League championship, hut in do
ing so had exhausted his strength, as in
the previous year. owing TO the gruel-
ling battle for the league pennant.
The opening scene for the worlds pen
nant struggle was set at Cleveland, and
the battle fell on October >. Cy Young,
the pitching hero of the series. was
rounding out one of the great seasons
of his eventful career. He was ths slab
choice to stop the heavy-hitting brigade
from Baltimore.
Although others contributed to Young 5
support in this important game, without
the great catch of McAleer in the sixth
inning and his timely bunt in the ninth.
