without Secretary Beannick, who had
all the tickets and baggage checks.
The train was finally stopped for lack
Of tickets and had to wait until the
valiant young secretary could catch
1t. He did so by having two husky
men take him down the track on
handcar. The mixup was the fault Of
the railroad passenger agent, and
when apologies were made and three
cheers were given for the New York
secretary the coming pennaRt chasers
proceeded on their way.
McGraw wired to Catcher Hartley,
who Is in New York, to join the club
at once, as he is shy of practical
catchers.

are getting back to schedule

The Question has arisen as
to whether the new library is
to be open on Sunday or not.
We are informed that the board
are endeavoring to make ar
rangements to have the library
open at least Sunday afternoon
and also Sunday evening if
possible. 1t is largely a ques-
of finances, and as the board
have been unable as yet to fig
ure out the exact cost of run.
ming in the new building, they
cannot say as to keeping open
on Sunday but every effort will
be made to keep the building
at the disposal of the public, at
least Sunday afternoon.

RICHES WITHOUT WORK.

Recently Vincent Astor attained his
majority and became the possessor
of an estate estimated to be worth
from s77,OO0,OOO to $4,000, 900. He
did not earn a dollar OF that vast sum;
neither did his father who willed 1t
TO him.
When the great-grandfather of this
young multimillionaire bought for
thousands certain New York proper
ties which are now estimated at tens
or hundreds of millions, he doubtless
had an idea that he was making a
good investment; but not even this
shrewd, farsighted old fur dealer from
Germany had O. notion that, besides
supporting a dozen families in such
luxury as represents yearly expendi-
lures for each of more dollars than
John Jacob Astor ever possessed,
there would still remain at the end
OF so years a fortune beyond the
dreams Of avarice-a fortune largely
made not by shrewd investments, but
by merely holding TO that which they
had. Yet this has been the case. The
growth of New York, commensurate
with the modern development of the
new world, has given to those meadow
lands of Manhattan their money in
crease; and the Astors, by merely sit
ting tight and fast, are now worth
hundreds Of millions.
Save for a very few millions, IL in
deed so much, this is the unearned
increment-a sum added to the Astor
fortunes not by thrift, shrewdness or
uncommon ability, the last of which
no recent member OF the family has
ever possessed but largely by the
growth of a city-a multiplication of
value beyond all reasoning or reckon
ing and for which credit is due not
to the family OF possessors or inherit
ors but 70 the public at large and 10
that general growth which has made
New York what it is.
1t is no wonder that, following the
lead of Henry George, people are ask,
ing who is the rightful owner of this
/ increment and whether what comes
from the state as a whole should not
70 some extent, and not merely in the
! form OF an inheritance tax, be re
/ turned to the state; and this particu
1 larly in the case of a family which
/ like the Astors, has never been re
nowned for its benefactions.

The Field of Literature

THE Land of Little care."-
Through special arrangement with S.
E. Kiser, the famous humorist and
verse writer of the Chicago Record
Herald, P. F. Volland & Co., art pub
fishers of Chicago, have published a
beautifully bound little book of Mr..
Kiser's poems, which has been en-
titled, The Land of Little Care" Tbs
title which he has selected for the
book, will serve as a guide to the
nature Of the contents.
Wherever newspapers are printed
in English, Mr.. Kiser's poems have
been copied. They have an intense
human appeal; they touch the heart in
wholesome. healthful, happy way.
Mr.. Kiser is never morbid or silt
ed or mysterious. He does not at
tempt TO be vague for the purpose of
creating the impression that he is
profound. He gives clear and pleasing
expression TO the thoughts and as
pirations of each of US.
THE Land of Little Care" is the
first real Kiser book that has been
published. Mr.. Kiser has chosen the
poems in this volume himself; they
are the ones on which he has decided
to ask the public's Judgment
The book contains a wide range of
sentiment-there are child verse and
nature verse, poems of sympathy,
poems OF delight, poems that ring
with merriment, and poems that you
viii want TO read all by yourself in
the comfortable half-light OF the ingle-
nook.
You cannot make a mistake in Civ
ing The Land OF Little Care" to any
