A Word to rlerchants.

More than 200 catalogues from Sears
Roebuck 4 Co., came to and through
the Romney postoffice last Thursday
morning. These catalogues cost about
$3.50 each to print and the postage on
each was 81 cents. These people think
it worth that much to them to advertise,
and yet many home merchants would
not spend one-tenth of that amount to
tell their patrons what they have to sell
and what the cost would be. The mail
order house spent nearly 800 for these
catalogues and postage, and they find it
pays or they would not do it.-Romnev

THAT Human Trumpet CALL"

When Enrico Caruso was in Atlanta
a few days ago he sang to the prison
ers in the federal penitentiary three
songs, including his Sob Song" from
'Pagliacci." After hearing Caruso,
Julian Hawthorne, now convict No.
4435, wrote a poem, a few lines of
which run thus:
Then, in the hush of the great blank
hall,
God wrought a wondrous miracle,
For a voice like a glorious trumpet
Arose as a soul from the deeps OF
hell,
And our souls rose with it on won
drous wings,
Rose from their prison of iron and
clay,
Forgot the CRIME and the shame Of
things!
We we're men once again in a sun
lit day,
Sin and grief and punishment-an
Were lost in that human trumpet
call"

One of the queer things in that city
is the batting Of George Mullin, the
veteran pitcher. Mullin is jolly,

He was warned that the bleacherites
would put him out Of the business.
but persisted. Every afternoon he
would walk down in front of the
bleachers and engage in a verbal
skirmish with the crowd, trying to
hold his own at rough repartee with
hundreds. He abused the crowd,
laughed at them, accused them of
"quitting." and enjoyed it. If he had
taken it seriously the result might
have been different, but after time
it became part of the game and now
the spectators in the bleachers would
not be satisfied if Mullin forgot to
start skirmish. Last summer, 60
ing out on a car in Detroit three
young fellows were talking.
"Oh, I've got a peach of a get-back
at him today" said one, and. at the
urgent request of the others he drew
out a card and read what he was 60

strongest influence over players True
there is a natural nervousness among

to victory as If they were cut there on
the mound pitching. The large crowds
usually are the fairest and most

erings the rabid and partisan fan is
lost and his utterances are smothered
These crowds police themselves and
the players feel safe and assured of
fair play, and. after the first nervous

A baseball crowd is much like q
mob. Without a leader it is just noise
and turmoil, but with one recognized
leader it can do much. A few years
ago a number of Chicago men at
tempted to carry out theory that the
crowd needed leaders and the result
was one Of the most dangerous ex-
periments ever attempted. The White
Sox' rooters organized, band O. men

laid daily plans for melting crowds
and stirring up enthusiasm. The
Board of Trade Rioters operated at
both Chicago parks, being organized
primarily to attack McGraw and the
Giants. They wrote and circulated
songs, invented ingenious methods of
harassing worthy foe, and to force
undeserved victory upon the home
teams. The idea spread rapidlv.

The average crowd is cruel, because
it is thoughtless. Few of the fans
who hurl abuse and criticism at the
players stop to think that the men
they are addressing have the capacity
to feel and to suffer. Many a thought

players long time to discover the
fact that their popularity and their
safety from abuse lies in presenting a
good-natured appearance, no matter
what happens, and in answering ques-

the country. He occupied front

seriousness that was appalling. He
maintained a deep silence during al
most all the game, but when a really
great play was made he emitted two
sharp staccato barks: Hi! Hill" and
then dropped to silence again. His
