THE LOVE OF THE GAME.

For thirteen years Christy Mathew
son, the peerless Matty," has been a
great figure in the world of baseball
He has been the mainstay Of his team,
the New York National League Giants,
and has helped to win three league
pennants and one worlds champion
ship.
Other men have lasted longer in big
league ball" than Mathewson, but no
other has so brilliant a record.
To-day, although only thirty-three
years old, he is an old timer. as base
ball players are rated.
But he holds his own. He is still
one of the leading pitchers, one of the
most dependable of players. When he
steps into the pitching box the men
behind him, his teammates, feel con-
fdent that they will win the game.
Why?
The matter was discussed a few days
ago by some leading players, all Of
whom know Matty.
And this is the reason, the true rea-
son, for his lasting powers and his SUI
premacy as a player.
''It is because he loves the game"
said one man. "He puts his heart in
it. 1t Is his lifework."
There is the secret, II It can be called
a secret Matty loves the game. There
fore he plays it as we'll as he does.
There is another reason. 1t was given
out by Manager McGraw, Mathewson's
superior and friend, few years ago.
THE big fellow never has to go into
training in the spring to get into con
dition," said McGraw. He keeps him
self in condition all the time. He does
not have to tune himself up He Is
ready to play ball at any time"
Love of the game and perfect condi.
ton all the time!
The two conditions work for success
in baseball. They are good rules in all
games and in all labors and profess
sions. If you "love the game" if you
feel that the work in which you are
engaged is worthy of you and keep
yourself in the proper mental and ply.
steal condition to do it you will sue
coed as Mathewson has succeeded.
If you let yourself go stale" and
lose interest in the game you will join
the long line of failures.

reer has outlasted many other pitchers
Some Of them were praised on their
first appearance as second Mathew.
sons" or better than Matty.'
They did not love the game enough,
They took insufficient care of them,
selves.
AS Matty has lasted and will live for
all time in baseball history, SO may
any man make a great name for him
self in his chosen field If he will OBJ
serve the great pitchers rules:
Love the game. Keep yourself in
trim.

THE FAMILY.

What doth this noise thoughts within my heart
AS if they had part?
What do these loud complaints and pulling fears,
AS If there rule ears?
But Lord, the house and family Thine,
Though of them repine,
For where thou dwellest all is neat.
First Peace and Silence all disputes control,
Then Order plays the Soul;
And giving all things their set forms and hours,
Makes of wild woods sweet walks and bowers.
Humble Obedience the door doth stand
Expecting command;
Than whom in waiting nothing seems more slow,
Nothing quick when she doth go.
Joys oft there, and griefs oft joys,
But griefs without a noise;
What is shrill silent tears?
This is thy house, with these it doth abound;
And where these not found
Perhaps thou contest sometimes and for a day;
But not to make constant stay.

whats the Matter With Kansas ,"

Summing up the effect of the widely adver-
tised draught in Kansas this year the Kansas
City Star says "The bad effects of the heat and
drynes of this year will speck only by the size of
pin point the white map of the states prosper
ity."
Backing this strong statement the Star adds
the following interesting information:
Over $4,000 900 bushels of winter wheat have
been harvested in Kansas this year; 40 per cent
more than was raised in any other state in the
Union. Every bushel of this wheat is worth 70
cents total of more than 60 million dollars for
the entire crop.
mo draught can touch that" says the Star
From one million acres in alfalfa 25 per cent
more acreage than year ago, two cuttings have
already been made The first was the heaviest in
the history of the state. The second was light
The total yield for the two cuttings was one and
one-half tons per acre. one and one-half million
tons for the entire state. This is worth on the

mo draught can touch it, says the Star.
Besides the alfalfa hay crop there is the al
falfa seed crop and it has been helped by the
dry weather. Eastern Kansas rarely harvests a
seed crop on account of wet weather This wear
the outlook for big alfalfa seed crop is fine The
average crop, estimated, will be five bushels to
the acre 1t will sell for $40 bushel.
Last years oats crop amounted to AZ, 29S, 900
bushels. This years crop is estimated as two
thirds of last years.
Kansas has one and one-half million acres of
Kafir and milo maize, two of the greatest
draught resisting sorghums known to agricul-
ture. These two sorghums have 90 per cent of
food value, pound for pound, of Indian corn. Of
sweet sorghum, used for hay, another draught re-
sisting crop. Kansas has over 900 acres.
Where last year Kansas raised 174,225, 900
bushels of corn this year the state will raise only
about 100000 bushels. The draught reduced
the estimated yield to about six bushels an acre
But what of it? asks the Star.
