Jimmy Walsh Coming Strong.

Here's what the Philadelphia Rec- ord has te say about Jimmy Walsh, former Northampton outfeldef, who is making such a. strong bid for an out field berth with Connie Maek's Ath- let1cs: hThe eutf1eld problem is mere of a problem than the infleld. Last fall the only possible arrangement most people could see was Eddie Murphy, Amos StrHnk and Rube OldFings Since then several reasons have been dis covered for thinking this judgment to be hasty. One ef these is Jimmy Walsh Two others are Pete Daley and Stew ensen. As a dark horse we might nominate MT. Daniel Murphy, Last fall when Manager Mack imported Ed Murphy and walsh from Baltimore, the fans could enly see the former Walsh didn't somehow seem to be in Murphy, s class. Eddie had a grand start With the Mackmen, while Jimmy ornament ed the dugout most of the time
 For the past nine days, about twice a day in batting practise, somebody way out in center field beyond the fartheset fielder has had to leap for his fife. and almost without looking in toward the plate, has said: "Drat that Jimmy Walsh Jimmy has been lay ing his bat against the ball with the vim and vigor of Delehanty and seems to have the old cleanup habit so admired in the grand old free-SW1ng1ng sIuggers of yesteTy ear. How he can be tiously kept out of the reg ular lineup would be a fair problem for Sherlock Holmes, or any of the other bIoodhounds of mystery.

AN EASTER MESSAGE.

When spring unlocks the storehouse Whence Easter blessings How, Athrob with joy expectant
 All nature seems agloW E en where the snow lies thick1y In many A woodland spot, Out from Is hood of purple Peeps the forS et-me-not- Brave1y the bloodroot pushes Its way through leaves of brown; ATbUtuS. subtly fragrant
 Displays her Easter gown. From tree to tree the squirrel PurSueS his friSky mate, While rabbits from their burrows Seek to investigate. From winter stalls the cattle With res1Ye feet declare A vague unrest and longing That permeate the air; And, as the barn doors slowly On hinges open swing. They view in silent wonder The miracle of Spring. There Is an Easter message For you as well as me. When through the fields and wood
 lands
 Onee more the dumb roam free Would we with hearts unsul1ied Partake this Easter joy. What Gods hand hs tn created Let not mans hand destroYi

the government has raised the sala- ries of teachers and also the standard Of equipment. Whereas five years ago the teachers in Spain were recruited from the poorest classes, there is now @ strong middle class movement to- ward the teaching profession, which furnishees by far the best outlook offered to self-supporting women in this country. The result is that the normal schools, poorly attended five years ago, are now overcrowded and applications from very desirable stu dents are coming to the International Institute. Miss Huntington, the di rectora, writes: T wish that later a good library course might be offered, for 8 hundred positions for librarians are open to women taking civil ser vice examinations. In fact the Inter national Institute should make itself known as ready to offer any advanced ccurse-opening any profession to we- men or rather preparing women for the professions already open to women theoretically but finding no women to fill them"

 says President Murphy. He is par ticularly pleased with the showing that the young players on the squad are making and seems to feel that from the newcomers there will develop some players of real quality. The manager says he has tried three left handed hurlers who are so good that it is al
 most impossible to single out any one that is better than the others. These are Pierce, Gilbert and Sommers. Evers has given them all a chance to show their worth and what they have shown has not helped the manager in solving the problem of cutting down the pitch ing staff, they are so good.

WHAT NETTIE LEARNED.

Nettie was sitting near a window,
and the rays of the sun fell upon
her, making her warm and comfort
able. Outside the weather was de-
cidedly disagreeable.
AS she sat by the window, Nettie
wished that she could do something
great. She had been reading a paper
about a woman by the name Of Flor
ence Nightingale, who became IA
nous by her kindness in nursing the
sick.
ooh, I do wish I could make peo-
pie happy like Miss Nightingale did,
said Nettie almost aloud. "If I could
do something like that, why,
would be the happiest little girl in
the world"
She slid from her chair to the floor
and, going to the dining room, she
asked her mother many questions
about Miss Nightingale and her great
work in caring for the sick. The
more she heard of this remarkable
woman, the more Nettie wished that
she were older, so that she could
equal her achievements.
Il wish that I could be a Florence
Nightingale" said Nettie to her
mother.
You can be a Florence Nightin-
gale, if you will said the mother
land you will not need to leave home
either. Maybe the world would not
know much about the nice things you
would do, but every night before you
fell asleep, you would feel very hap
Ply to know that you had performed
many acts Of kindness"
This little talk with her mother set
Nettie to thinking, and she promised
herself that from then on she would
try to make those about her happy.
At noon, she helped the maid wash
and dry the dishes, and received a
kiss in reward for her kindness.
When papa came home from work,
she had his slippers ready for him by
his armchair and he gave her a hug
and kiss for being so thoughtful.
Even sister, who was often very
cross when any one bothered her
while she was studying, gave her a
kindly tap on the cheek for being sc
quiet.
Then she rocked the cradle until
baby went to sleep, and before she
herself went to sleep that night. both
her mamma and papa had pressed
many warm kisses on her lips.
AS Nettie knelt in prayer beside
her bed that night, her heart sang a
glad little song, for she had been a
Florence Nightingale in her own lit
tie world.-Exchange
