BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of AT Good Old siwash"

A weed is a flower which has got
ten into trouble by going where it
wasn't invited.
Many weeds are very beautiful and
would be gazed at with intense pleas
ure in a conservatory. A wild morn
ing glory is more delicate in color
than tame one and nothing is more
refined and attractive than a thistle
blossom. But the wild morning glory
alienates the love of the farmer by
blooming in his cornfield instead of
his front yard and the thistle holds
mass meetings in the pastures in
stead of growing shyly and sparsely
in kitchen gardens.
Some weeds are tall and homely and
some are squat and homely while still
others are tinted like the dawn. But
they all have one characteristic. They
are hardy and long-lived. Frost has
no more effect on them than on a
politician. Waiting for Providence to
kill a weed is hopeless task. Provi-
dence either can't or doesn't. A weed
will flourish and raise a large family
on brick pile in July sun, and cut
ting down a weed with hoe after it
has settled in a garden merely i'm

proves its constitution. Raising a
garden full of tame flowers consists
mostly of roofing out weeds. A weed
will stray in from a neighboring coun-
try, grow root. bloom and hold a
reunion of its descendants while an
imported flower seed is getting ready
to sit up and live. Gall and nerve
form the circulation of the weed. Let
man prepare a $4,000 garden for the
reception of rare. and beautiful plants
and before it is done a thousand
weeds will Chamber over the wall like
politicians hopping into a successful
party and will make themselves per-
fectly at home.
Because of these habits people do
not love weeds any more than they do
confidence men, professional borrow
ers and people who make their living
by encouraging other people to work
Many weed would improve the looks
of a garden If it would stay out. But
in a week 1t would be over in the next
bed, roofing out the geraniums. There
fore, weeds, like people who cannot
take hint, are not popular and will
never be elected to anything but the
rubbish piles.-Copyrighted by George

PALESTINE, Tex, Feb. 22.-The
Athletic baseball Yanigan team, aboard
the "Homeseekers' special" which runs
bi-weekly, reached this place last eye
ming at $3.50, more than three hours
late. On the station platform were
Jack Coombs and Mrs. Coombs, who
had been pacing back and forth for
the three hours waiting for the arrival
of the train. Coombs was immediate
ly surrounded by Manager Mack and
the players, and for about five min
utes the big pitcher and Mrs. COMBS
held an impromptu levee.
Coombs assured Mack that he had
entirely recovered from the strain sus-
tanned in the last game he pitched in
the worlds series, and that he would
join the regulars at this place when
the latter go through here ten days
hence.
Pitcher Jensen, who was a free lance
of the lots about Chicago, Joined the
team at st. LOTUS. He is a big, raw
boned six-footer. who won seventeen
out of twenty-four games In the Windy
City. Lefty" Russell said yesterday
that he was sure of his arm, because
he had used it bowling all winter, and
knew 1t would stand the strain of
pitching in the big leagues. He will
be worked out with Ben Egan, who
used to catch him when they were both
with the Baltimore League.

Athletics Arrive i'm Camp;
Giants Battle a "NOrher''

MARLIN, Tex, Feb. 22.-The hamper
and boxes containing the New York
National League Clubs baggage was
received early today. and as soon as it
warns up a bit the recruits will be d.
vided into two teams for practise
games.
A practise battle was Wilbert Rob-
inson's idsa of a fine program for yes
terday, but the norther that made life
miserable for the athletes last night
has not yet blown itself out, and until
it does McGraw will not permit the
players to extend themselves. The
morning work consisted of a long run
for all the players and a bit of fungo
hitting and fly catching for a few.
After luncheon 1t warmed III slightly,
but there was still a high wind blowing
directly into the faces of hitters. Jeff"
Te~sreau, Bert Maxwell, "Rube'' Evans
and Emmett Munsell took turns pitch
ing, but none put anything IN the ball.
AS a result the hitting was hard all
around. Arthur Bues again made a
fine impression by his general all
around form, though his hitting a a
bit superior to his fielding. He bonn
barded right field until McGraw ques-
toned his ability to hit to any other
field. He then poked one to centre on n
line and followed with two or three
smart raps to left. His bunting was
on a par with his straight batting.

the winners were practically unknown,

defeated well-known champions here

among the exhibitors and the patrons
of the show.
The struggle for the blue ribbons
among the beagles aroused the keenest
competition and vas easily the most
interesting of the days work among
the judges. 1t was a contest between
the best dogs of this species owned by
the millionaire colony of hunting men
on Long Island. Dogs owned by Henry
C. Phipps. Raymond Belmont and c. J.
