BOY PLAYING
HOCKEY BROWNS

while playing hockey with NUM-
Der of companions yesterday morning
on Berkshire pond, Joseph G. Cseeh,
the ffteen-year-old son of Mrs An
drew Csech, 1916 East Main street,
lost his life as the ice near Huntington
road gave way beneath him. The
water at that, point is very deep, and
Immediately after breaking through
the ice his body sank from sight and
did not reappear. Although his com
panions crept as near the edge as pos
sible and threw ropes into the water
in the hope that he might be con-
scious, their efforts were vain.
/, An ambulance and police call sent
surg cons and patrolmen to the scene
and with the aid of graphing irons
they dragged the bottom for the body.
A concentrated effort on the part OF
the seauehers was assisted by Fire
Chief Edward Mooney, who detailed
a trick to assist in the work of break
ing the surrounding ice. A graphing
iron in the hands of George Reilly
eventually brought the body to the
surface and twas taken to the Gull
Imam & Mullins morgue, where it is
being prepared by order of the fam
lily for interment.

BATTING IN BASEBALL.

The Style of Sticks Used by the Slug
gers Varies Greatly.
Heavy hitters of the past and pres
ent have always been Of widely differ
ent opinions regarding their bats. Dan
BroutEers, the veteran slugger. ex-
pressed the feelings of most players
when he said the bat makes little diff
ference to n batsman as long as it feels
comfortable and the owner looks upon
his favorite stick with something like
affection.
1t can be well added that the style
Of the batter sometimes has little to
do with bis hitting. whether it be the
choke effect invented by Willie Keller
or the crouch that was Sam Crawfor1's
stock in trade. Young players make
the mistake of copying the style of
some great batter and of using a club
that is as nearly a replica of the great
ones as possible.
1t used to be said of Larry Laioie
that he could .hit the ball mile with
a toothpick" and Hans Wagner was
not particular about the fail he used
so long as he could get ball of the
shoulder. As matter OF fact. most of
the hard hitters make their long drives
from balls that would not have been
strikes had they been allowed to go to
the catcher. Unless one stands fairly
well back from the plate 1t is difficult
to get the shoulders into a drive made
from perfectly pitched ball.-Sew

Mrs. Burnett, one of the most de-
hghtful story writer's of her day and
whose novels continue TO entertain
and delight her readers on two CONT
nents, married man twenty-five years
younger than she.
Divorced her distinguished husband
for that purpose.
And, in the end, suffered every hA-
initiation, with the finale of divorce.
That a woman OF Mrs. Burnett
calibre and acumen should have seen
no farther than beyond the immediate
contamination Of such marriage only
goes to confirm that old saying which
says you can never tell"
When it comes to amorous records
it is difficult to explain the seeming
vagaries of the human entity.
People will do the most extraordi-
nary and surprising things.
The realm of the emotions is a mys-
ferrous one and its manifestations cur
ious and peculiar.
People who have hitherto lived safe
and sane" lives and by whom their
friends swear will suddenly go off at
an emotional tangent to the mystifica-
ton and regret of those nearest them.
Those who thought they knew the
latter like a book Who could perdict
and foretell with accuracy what every
course would or would not be.
One day they awaken to find that
the solid tower has toppled on it's
foundations and is a heap of dust at
their feet.
People who have seen each other
every day for a decade or two will
find some morning that they were total
strangers.
They may have hung out each for
the other until the last blaste-or have
thought they would and, worse still,
said SO.
And find that the belief of lifetime
is shattered.
The faith of years broken.
The trust of decades vanished.
You can't count on the permanency
of feeling or emotion.
1t is something that fluctuates.
It GIBBS and flows.
Even if it stays in the same channel,
its depth and clarity are constantly
changing
And. oftener than not the channel
itself shifts.
We forget that life is fluid
That it is not tangible nor solid nor
real.
We hang our hopes, our desires, our
ideals, our passions on the nail and
expect to find them in the same place
year in, year out.
And we chew the bitter cud of dis
appointment when We find the nail
rusted and the substance rotted away.
There is nothing sadder than the de-
parture of youth.
Especially from beautiful woman.
For beauty without it is if it had
never been.
The philosophers, the sages, the
poets-all say that it is the very
essence of the universe.
The exquisite aroma of life.
Men and women heed this not
And try to hold a phantom in their
grasp.
The appearance of Lady Randolph
Churchill in the divorce court was one
of the sardonicisms of life
And a tragic spectacle.

Makes Rheumatism
Promptly Disappear
Chronic, crippIed-up Sufferers Find
Relief After Few Doses of New
Remedy Are Taken.

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with it's
teart-wrenching pains, when you can
be quickly and permanently cured.
Rheumatism comes from weak, mac
tive kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid; and it is useless to rub
Oh liniments or take ordinary rene
dies to relieve the pain. This only pro-
longs the misery and can't possibly
cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, positively does this.
1t neutraliZes and dissolves all the
poisonous substances and uric acid
that lodge in the joints and muscles,
70 scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
SO they filter all the poison from the
blood. and drive it on and out of the
system.
Croxone is the most wonderful med
icine ever made for curing chronic
rheumatism, kidney troubles, and blad-
der disorders. You will find it different
from all other remedies. There is moth
ing else on earth like it. 1t matters not
how old you are, or how long you have
suffered, it is practically impossible to
take it into the human system with
out results. You will find relief from
the first few doses, and you will be
surprised how quickly all your misery
and suffering will end
An original package of Croxone
costs but a trifle at any frst-class
drug store. All druggists are author
ICED to sell it on a positive money
back guarantee. Three doses a day for
a few days is usually all that is ever
needed to cure the worst backache or
overcome urinary disorders.

RUSSIA CELEBRATES
CAR IS ACCLAIMED
Anniversary of the Accession
of the Romanoffs to I'M
perial Throne.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 6-With
magnificent pompt the celebration of
the tercententary anniversary of the
accession of the Romanoffs to the In
perial throne of Russia was opened
here today.
The entire populace of st. Peters
burg acclaimed the Gar as he drove
through the streets at the head of d
brilliant procession consisting of the
Grand Dukes, the heads of the army
and navy and the chief civil officials
of the country.
The government secret service
agents were especially active. turning
back at the railroad station many
strangers from other European count
ries, despite the fact that they held
passports. To further guard the Gear
against Nihilist plots, all suspicious
persons have been gathered in by the
police and either banished from the
city during the celebration, or detain
ed in Jail
The most vital feature of the pres
ent celebration so far as the people
are concerned is the general amnesty
which will be extended by the Gear
to thousands of his subjects who are
now in exile or in prison. 1t is rumor-
ed that Nicholas II will extend elem
ency to several thousand exiles who
are in Siberia, and will lift the ban
from all his exiled subjects in Am
erica.
The visits to the cities which play
ed an important part in the early his
tory of his family will be postponed
by the Car until May when the
this itinerary will be included Kostro-
mo, where the first Romanoff Michael,
a lad of sixteen years, was elected to
the throne of Vladimir by the Bos-
phorus 800 years ago.
