felt resentfulness arise within him

would be destroyed in the colossal
grind. but what of it? They must
soon die anyway in the natural order
of things, and if the master of space
had sent this special thunderbolt
against them, that in itself was proof
good enough that it was time for them
to perish, else the bolt would not have
been sent. Then quickly following
this came a great flush of shame that
colored his cheeks TO even a deeper
scarlet. and he felt like faying him
self with lash of scorpions as pen
ance for his flash Of savagery. He
grasped the menu card and scarcely
looking at it began to order almost

messenger boy burst upon him with

of his dinner he tore them open and
parts OF the city, the country, the
state-even the United States. They
were from friends and acquaintances
They were from men and women of
whose very existence he had never
heard. They were from plebeians and
millionaires, from ministers and
statesmen, from lawyers, doctors, sci.
entists, priests. They derided and
they threatened, they upbraided
begged, prayed and implored. In the
midst of them he came upon this one
sent by the chief at Washington:
Desmond, care Peak Observatory.

His face gone white now, he crushed
the mass of sheets into a ball, and,
arising, left the room with his dinner
a forgotten thing. Walking as though
in a trance and seeing the curiosity
filled faces about him but mistily he
seized a wrong hat and plunged un-
certainly into the street, thoughtless
of where he should go.

NEW POSTMASTER-GENERA HOPES
TO ESTABLISH ONE-CENT POSTAGE

Albert S. Burleson, the new post
master-general,f faces many intricate
problems in connection with the
operation of the post Office system
throughout the country
According to those well posted IN
Washington, he comes well quahhed
for this position. PostmasteT,I
eral Burleson is a native OF Texas,
and was educated at Agriculture
and Mechanical College, Baylor Uni
versity, and University OF Texas
He was admitted to the bar in 1884 !;
was assistant city attorney at
Austin, Texas, from 1886 to 1890;
attorney of the twenty-sixth judicial
district from 1892 to 1897, and was
a member of the 56th, 57th, 6Sth,
5sth, 6Oth, 61st and 62nd congresses:
He has been a deep student OF postal
affairs for many years.
One of the important matters
which the postmaster-general viii
be called upon to deal wit. will be
the establishing of one-cent letter
nc stage. He has indicated to repre-
sentatives of the National One Cent
Letter Postage Association that he
heartily favors one-cent letter post
age, and hopes to bring 1T about just
as soon as a satisfactory adjustment
of affairs can be had.
He strongly favors efficient service
in the department; adequate COM
pensation for post Office employees,
and an equalization of postal rates.
He hopes that one-cent letter post
age is not far distant and that it
may become a monument to the ad-
ministrative ability of the depart
mont of which he is head.

1OMORE YEARS
M'GRAW THINKS THE OLD MAS
TER WILL EQUAL, IF NOT EX-
CELL THE RECORD OF cY
YOUNG.

Denton Tecumseh Young, better
/ known : Cyrus the First. carried
| twenty-five seasons through the Major
| Realm, and at the age of fOrty-four
retired with a record of 507 victories.
| His reign extended from 1890 through
1911.
When Cyrus passed on. the whisper
ran atield that his record would stand
for All time. that no pitcher under
he driving smear Of the game today
would ever last twenty seasons in big
league harness or wres: 500 victories
from big league batting eyes.
Cy left no open trail. but stalking
down the road in his wake. although
still far back, come Christy MathewSon
of the Giants and Ed Plank of the Attn
letics, each with twelve completed sea-
sons Of wonderful achievement and
each still! master Of the clubbing clan.
Plank. thirty eight years Of age, has
no show to grapple with Noung's
amazing record. Mathewson has.
The Giant premier started his thir-
teenth campaign in 1913 with record
of 313 victories already stacked aside
which is crowding the thirteen stuff
about as far as IL can he safely pushed
To equal Young's record Of time aHd

mark and the 500 conquests Mathew
son must pound the pitching trail
through ten more seasons. He needed,

victories 10 reach the hOO total and
49, victories to slip by Young.
Can he make It? John J. MrGraw,
his mana ger, answers Yes" The floor
TO McGrsw:
"Mathewson Ia now in his thirty
third year and his thirteenth season.
He has looked better through this
spring than for many seasons past

pitcher that ever lived knew as well
how 70 make the brain carry q big
part Of the arms burden.
where other slahmen average from
10 to 1875 pitched balls through each
game. Mathewson's average has been
under 100. In sis games up through
1912 he had yielded but rs passes
less than two 70 the battle.
1T watched him closely this spring
in his opening starts, and II seemed
to me that he looked younger and
more elastic than any year since 1908.
There was no sign Of any tightening
conditions. now that have discovered
worthy aides in Maruuard. Tesreau,
and Demaree to help lift the old re-
lief burden from him. there seems m
he no reason why at forty three-te1
years from now athewson shouldn't
still he wea ring the harness.f The lblck
Of the gar may cut him DOWN thru'ugh
accident or sickness but without bad
luck 7 expect to be banking upon the
man around whom 7 built my club ten
years ago for ten years more"
In other words. Mathowson's pitching
is still in it's infancy. The fellow has
only begun to warm up.-Grantlnnd
