white midribs are cut out. and the
green leaves served alone, the ribs
being cooked separately and served
ike asparagus, for which they are an

change. a dish Of leaves and ribs to-

always seems a waste Of good mate
rial when either is better alone. The
hens greedily eat any that may be
left when the table Is cleared, or the
cows and pigs will dispose of it, so

UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW
He hopes the Boy Will Turn Out to
Be Good Judge of Men, When
His Turn Comes.

"Stevey, my boy" said Uncle Hiram
to his hopeful nephew. Il hope it will
turn out that you are a good Judge
of men. for by virtue of that quality
a man is able in effect to multiply
his own power.
1T is a common thing to hear
people say that the more pay a man
gets the less work he does. and as
20 the doing of actual labor this may
be true: somebody else saws the wood
while he sits by the fire.
AS matter of fact there are plen-
~ of men high up who still work
hard, and all of them certainly worked
hard when they were younger, and If
they are doing less actual labor now
Il is because they are good judges
of men. able to pick out for the bust
ness under their direction just the
right men to do the work and carry
it forward successfully.
Really it Ia In the exercise of this
gift that We find the greatest value in
manager; it is just this that makes
him worth his high pay. We want
him to sit around and take things
easy and give himself time to think
and keep his head clear We don't
want him to get out and chop down
trees; we want him to be able to
select men who can do that work to
the greatest advantage and with the
greatest economy.

Lefty Lane Runs Away.

He had not got upstairs to his
rooms at the Carlton before a note
was handed him from the actress. bid

voy. and Ruggles, his heart hammer
ing like trip hammer. rushed up to
his rooms. made an evening toilet. for
it was then half-past seven. threw his
cravats and collars all around the
place, cursed like miner as he got
into his clothes, and red almost to
apoplexy, nervous and full of emo
ton, he returned to the rooms he had
left not three hours before.
The three hours had been busy ones

In his few words something per.

and what the question really was. She
dropped Ruggles' arm. She stood for
a moment with her arms folded across
her breast, her head bent down, and
the man at the door waited. feeling
that Dams whole life was in the bal
ance of the moment. When she spoke
again her voice was hard and entirely
devoid of the lovely appealing quality
which brought her so much admira-
ton from the public.
'If ! give him up" she said slow

remuneration.

He, in turn, had told her many things.
Before parting from her, however, he won
her consent, seeing how easily he could
recruit his exchequer, to accept from him,
as loan of course, all that was necessary
to clear her of London and convey her, on
the same steamer with him, back to New
York. And then, final accomplishment of
all, he adroitly drew from her the name
of the stage manager responsible for her
plight, and the fact that he was still direct
ing the performances at the Frivolity
Theater.
YOUNG Fultener awoke on the morrow to
find his proud project of the previous
dayrelegated, if not to the background of his
attention, most certainly to second place.
1t was now not so much matter of enviable
personal achievement as a mere means to
an end-an end involving a new and alb
sorbingly keen desire to do something-to
do all things, in fact, for Alice Davenant..
Before going out he called her up by
telephone, to say "good morning" and to
inquire how she had rested, and to ask,
which after all was his main object, if she
would meet him at the Cecil, for luncheon.
Her acceptance gave him fresh courage
for what was before him. It bulked his
confidence. 1t made him feel that so long
as this was well, ali other things must be
well, too. And when, half an hour later,
he walked into the jewelry shop on Regent
Street, it was with at least double his as
surance of the day previous.
The dapper little salesman beamed anna
bly, upon him as he entered.
II should like, said Fultener, with some
thing of insouciance in his manner, "to buy
an exact duplicate of the diamond you sold
me yesterday"
But at that the beaming amiability of the
jeweler clouded. He rubbed together his
thin hands, and then, with an awkward
bunch of his shoulders, that was hardly a
shrug, those hands parted company and
stretched in significance of dilemma.
But, my dear sir, he deprecated, "a
duplicate of such stone is not to be picked
up every day. I am quite sure, sir, that
we haven't its like in the shop, sir. It's a
question whether. there is diamond that
matches it, in all particulars, in the whole
of London, sir"

ment "-the price may seem trife Excess

"The pair will cost you not less than three

assumed amazement, that is going some.
at really couldn't be done for less, sir"
emphasized the salesman.
For all of minute, Fultener drummed
with his gloved fingers on the glass top of
the show case, wrinkling his brow and biting
his lip the while. Then, as with having
suddenly reached decision, he again faced
the waiting tradesman.
"Very good,' he said. "But the price
must not exceed the figure you have
named"
The dapper little man behind the counter
bowed almost reverently his assent.
"Quite right, sir. Thank you very much,
sir" And Fultener, with brisk GOOD

THERE were moments during the next
l. two days when, even in the midst of his
happiest association with Alice Davenant,
he lapsed abruptly into apprehensive preoc-
cupation. After ali, would his project work
out to satisfactory fulhlment? He had
planted the seed in good soil; but would it
terminate? More than once was be tempted,
like the tyro in gardening, to dig into his
garden plot to make sure one way or the
other; but a wholesome fear Of spelling
everything deferred him.
And then, on the morning of the third
day, his plant broke through the soil, shot
upward, like Jacks beanstalk, and Powered
luxuriantly, all in the space Of ten rainutes.

stoutish man, with crisp, curling red hair;
"but thought as how you might care to
dispose of that diamond, sir, that you
pledged with me few days ago, sir; seeing
that I can offer you most unusual price
for it, sir"
Fultener made a point of looking ex-
trenely bored. Had 7 wished 70 sell it,
I shouldn't have pawned it, ne said, with

The card which young Fultener produced
at this juncture bore his New York address,
and SO, in way, was credential In itself.

surance. II should Like the stone sent

Every good, sir. Your father Is an old

"And I've bought few things here, my
self, at odd times" the young man added,
with smile that conveyed conviction.
"Quite right, sir" agreed the deferential
little man. IT thought I remembered your
face, directly you came in the shop, sir.
Well have the diamond delivered at your
hotel at once. Thank you, sir"
! 1t was destined to be brought forth,
an hour later, over the counter of Buns
bury's wellknown pawnshop, on the Strand.

intent on carrying through his project with
all expedition, and require fifty pounds
on this for few days."
The broker, after cursory glance at the
jewel through glass, thrust forward slip
of paper and a pencil, and Fultener wrote
his name and the name of his hotel. A
ticket was made out and passed to him with
the sum requested in crisp white notes and
shining yellow gold. All told, the transac-
ton had not taken three minutes.

STAY IN THE BOX.

The A. c. baseball team has started
consistent training out of doors now
and it will not be many days now until
the squad takes on the appearance of
q team. There is a wealth of material
for each position and from present
indications the aggies will have one
of the best teams in years.
The infield promises to be very fast,
Some of the men trying for the infisld
are Olson and Hanson, first; Grant,
second; Parezick and Caulkins, third !;
Wirtenberger, short. The pitching de-
partment is well taken care of with
Bentley, Wilson and Hackett doing the
stunts, Bentley will probably do the
work in the big games and the other
two men will be used for the lighter
games.
Foss is due for the backstop posi-
ton and is in no danger of being
classed among the reserves as his abil-
ity is too well known. Breyer viii be
in line in this department and will do
the work behind the bat in the smaller
games. Breyer, Wirtenberger, Smith
Lawson and several others are trying
for out-field positions and very
classy trio is expected to perform in
this part of the field.
Coach Rueber is working the mer
hard as this early in the season viii
permit. One thing is sure that the
team will be composed of the best hit
ters that is possible to attain from
the squad and none of the so-called
hitless wonders will be tolerated.

Wichita, KAN, April 11.--While the
Chicago white sox were here on their
way north Manager Callahan was dis
cussing the various players, and dur
ing the conversation expressed the
opinion that the fans had much to do
with the making and unmaking of
baseball players,
"Take the case of Rollie Zeider,"
said Callahan, "if he believed that
he could play second and could con-
Vince himself Of the fact he would be
just as effective at the keystone as
he is at the initial sack" When you
come to think of it these words Of the
manager seem true.
Zeider was in bad as a second base
man. It seemed that every time that
he booted a ball it meant the loss OF
the game. He simply couldn't err
without its proving expensive. The
fans got after him. They hooted when
he went to the field. The result was
that Zeider got to believing that he
couldn't play second base, and when
once ball player loses that confidence
he loses about ali there is effective
about him. Then he was given q
chance at first base. He was away to
a flying start. The fans were in q
jovial mood. They were willing to lei
hygones be bygones, and they gave
him a great sendoff, and Zeider was d
different ball player. In the one posi-.
ton the fans were with him. He fell
that they were. He was away to 3
good start. He had his confidence and
he was a whale of ball player.
