This speaks well for this COM

everybody in bringing to the at
tention Of the outside world what
they have and the kind of coun-
try in which they live.
1t is not the only request that
Mr.. Port has had for his product
from a distance. OF late he has
had letters from Elpaso. Texas,
New Mexico and within the last
year he had an inquiry from New
Zealand.
Mr.. Port has been engaged in
the raising of thoroughbred Rams
and his product has met with the
highest praise from sheep breed
ers of other sections and is an
evidence of what as community.
we could do for ourselves if we
valued what we have as does the
stranger. We fear that our riches
and golden opportunities have
become so commonplace with us
that we fail to SO acknowledge
them as such and all around us,
with far less possibilities. people
are making more rapid advance
ment in material things because
they look upon them with differ

This incident should stimulate
this section to action in bringing
more prominently to the home
seeker and investor the unlimited
resources at our command and
the possibilities OF men who are
willing to work, as we'll as the
man of means.

And suddenly she seemed trans

mother-with ber lack Of humor and
her nervous criticism--correcting the
errors the professor had hundred
times heard her correct in maids.
Quite as suddenly Miss Weld was
herself again, bowing to the ap-
plause. Then, with a smile that was
sweet, innocent and so familiar to
the professor that it made him actu-
ally dizzy:

dropped, her jaw pushed forward

Yet when she went on to initiate
other mistresses, in honesty he had
to admit that through the fun she
really showed where certain domestic
troubles lay; and slowly he realized
that she could hardly have "taken
off" his mother more justly or more
mercifully. He knew now why his
home was so often maidless. Still
the sting hurt; and when in the later
reception he found himself close to
the ex Selena Melissa he felt very
stern.

by his nearness to those great, limo

thought he read in them.

~ ASEBALL scouts are a com
X paratively new institution in
the national game. and with
out doubt they have been of great
assistance in strengthening big
league teams and in bringing into
the limelight star players who 9TH
erwise might never have been heard
of only in their immediate neigh
borhood.
1t was due to a scout that Ty
Cobb was unearthed, and that grand
player is only one of the many who
owe their present regulations to
the argus-eyed sleuths who roam
ed the country from one end to
the other in search of talent that
promised to become big league
timber
The discovery" of Cobb. in fact,
was the incentive that caused 9TH
er clubs than the Detroit organi-
zation to send out agents" in the
hope that another Cobb would be
the reward of all the expense that
was incurred by the new departure.
Soon there was a swarm of en-
bryo Christopher Columbuses, who
penetrated into the most distant
baCkwoods districts in their en-
deavors to dig up phenoms.
Many Scouts" After Jobs.
To- Ill,
ed with applications for jobs as
scouts, and in their desire to du-
plicate the good fortune of the
Detroit club, managers took all
kinds of chances and engaged men
as scouts who were absolutely use
less on account Of their ignorance
of baseball and the qualifications
required that produce a real ball
player.
The scouts would see a man per
form in one game, and if the latter
happened to have a good day" on
that particular occasion the tele-
graph wires would be set on fire to
headquarters to secure the "daz-
zler." Headquarters would "fall'
for the lofty talk and the recruit
would be bought outright at a price
so high that the club selling him
would be able to continue for an
other month at least, whereas 9TH
erwise the club would have been in
the throes of DISARMAMENT and dis
solution.
The scout system has been a
great boon to webbing little clubs
run by the village barber-the
towns one baseball fan-and visit
ing scouts grew fat on the hospi-
tally shown them-with free
shaves thrown in. The advance
guard Of the sleuths consequently
lived on the fat of the land and
counted their success on quantity
rather than quality.
But not so the clubs who were
obliged to pay for the freight for
all the Junk" shipped to them by
their too ambitious agents" The
latter were spurrcd on to their sub
lime heights OF discovery by ri
valry.
Frequently several scouts would
meet accidentally in the same town
at the same time and professional
jealousy would overcome their
crude judgment and players would
be recommended that were Of no
