Attracted by the bland softness of
an afternoon in my primeval winter
in Kansas, Irode southwark through
the dense forest that then covered
the bluffs of the North Fork of Wild
cat The ground was sodden within
the ooze of melting snow The drip
ping trees were as motionless as
granite The last years leaves, te-
nacious hngerers 10th to leave the
scene of their brief bravery, adhered
to the gray boughs like fragile bronze.
There were no visible indications of
life, but the broad wintry landscape
was flooded with that indescribable
splendor that never was on sea or
shore-a purple and silken softness.
that half yelled, half disclosed, the
alien horizon, the vast curves of the
remote river, the transient architec-
tuTe of the clouds and filed the re-
sponsive soul with vague tumult of
emotions, pens1ve and pathetic, in
which regret and hope contended for
the mastery. The dead and silent
globe, with all its hidden Kingdoms,
seemed swimming like bubble, sus-
amethyst and silver, compounded of
the exhaling whiteness of the snow,
the descending glory of the sky.
tropical atmosphere brooded upon an
artic scene, creating the strange
spectacle of summer in winter, June
in January, peculiar to Kansas, which
unseen cannot be imagined, but once
seen can never be forgotten. = By

JOY Cometh.

Dull care may now forsake her
porch which she has occupied too
long; and melancholy's in the lurch,
and grief has found that something's
wrong. For human beings dance
and sing, and dry the idle brinv tear;
they see the harbingers of spring
the baseball seasons drawing nearl
The tawdry sports of winter pass, the
basket ball the wrestling game; the
tin horn boxers go to grass, the in
door walkers goin lame. The check
erboard has lost it's charm, and crok-
mole is stale and sere; e'en leapfrog
seems a false alarm-the baseball
seasons drawing nearl The old mans
restless in his chair, the arm chair in
the inglenook; he kicks his slippers
in the air, and at the cat he throws
his book, and granny reads the sport
ing page, and gives anon a feeble
cheer; JOY cometh soon to youth and
age-the baseball seasons drawing
near! The youthful population
screams with glee throughout the
neighborhood; and boys are dreaming
rainbow dreams of beating Christy or
Joe Wood. Now every club becomes
bat, and every bat beswats sphere.
Spring comes-we know where we are
at-the baseball seasons drawing
nearl Walt Mason.

Cobb led the American league last

leadership in seven starts. 1t was his
second year in succession above the
400 mark, as he registered APO in
1911.
With Jackson and Speaker on his

or better again to hold the title.
jackson hit .4OS i'm 1911 and ,S95 in
1912, his general average for the two
