GENUINE TRIBUTE TO WOMAN
Robert q. lngsrsoII's Eloquent Appre-
citation Of the Qualities Of the
Gentler Sex.

II takes 100 men to make an en-.
campment. but one woman can make
a home. / not only admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever created.
but I reverence her as the redeeming
glory OF humanity, the sanctuary OF all
virtues, the pledge OF all perfect quail
ties of heart and head. 1t is not just
nor right to lay the sins OF men at the
feet of women. 1t Is because women
are so much better than men that
their faults are considered greater. A
mans desire Is the foundation OF his
love, but a woman's desire Is born of
her love. The one thing In this world
that Is constant. the one peak that
rises above all clouds, the one win
dow in which the light forever burns,
the one star that darkness cannot
quench is woman's love. 1t rises to
the greatest heights, II sinks to the
lowest depths. It forgives the most
cruel injuries. 1t Is perennial OF life
and grows in every climate. Neither
coldness nor neglect, harshness nor
cruelty can extinguish 1t. A woman's
love is the perfume of the heart. This
Is the real love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought all
miracles of art; that gives us music
all the way from the cradle song to
the grand closing symphony that
bears the soul away on wings Of fire.
A love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life and stronger than
death.-Robert G. Ingersoll.

two stanzas of the game.
The Clio aggregation under ordi-
nary circumstances should have put
the kibosh on their opponents and
as ii was they got eleven points,
showing that the strength of Swartz
Creek cannot be compared with
that of Hughie Jennings bunch from
the jungles. II might be compared
to the occasional victory of the
Washington team over the leaders.
Reports from Swartz Greek carry
the information that several of the
players in their team are in seri-
Gus condition from the over-exer-
ton Of long distance running and
that some of the aggregation so got
the habit that they never stopped in
their mad dashes until they reached
Duffield or were well on their way
to Durand. This however is only a
rumor and is not to be relied upon
as authentic information.
The tally sheet was lost SO that il
is impossible to give the history of
the contest by sections. II wouldn't
make interesting reading anyway
rnless the reader happened to be well
up in the arithmetic and was cap
able of computing large sums.
II is to be hoped hat The record
of the games for the Fourth will be
within the reach of the average
base ball layman.
