Out of the park.

Ty Cobb should be put out of the park
for the attempt TO play second base. He
either persuaded Jennings that he could
turn the trick or has an idea that he
was something of an infielder. AS Is
often the case when an athlete attempts
too much, Ty made miserable failure.
At the same time he managed to get
two hits out Of three times up.

LAKE OF THE DISMAL SWAMP.

LAKE OF THE DISMAL SWAMP.
"FTVH HEY made her a grave, too cold
and damp
For soul so warm and true,
N And she's gone to the Lake Of
the Dismal Swamp,
Where all night long by q FREELY lamp
She paddles her white canoe.
And her firefiy lamp soon shall see,
And her paddle soon shall hear.
Long and loving our life shall be,
And I'll hide the maid in a cypress tree
When the footstep of Death is near"
Away to the Dismal Swamp he speeds
His path was rugged and sore,
Through tangled juniper, beds OF reeds,
Through many fen where the serpent
feeds
And man never trod before.
And when on the earth he sunk to sneep,
If slumber his eyelids knew,
He lay where the deadly vine doth weep
tsLvenomous tear and nightly steep
The flesh with blistering dew.
And near him the she wolf stirred the
brake,
And the copper snake breathed in hia
ear
Till he. starting. cried. from his dream
awake,
"oh, when shall see the dusky lake
And the white canoe Of my dear?
He saw the lake, and meteor bright
Quick over Its surface played.
Welcome" he said, my dear ones
lightW
And the dim shore echoed for many O
night
The name of the death cold Maid.
Till he followed a boat of the bIrchsp
bark,
Which carried him Off from shore.
Far, far he followed the meteor spark.
The wind was high. and the clouds Were
dark,
And the boat returned no more.
But oft from the Indian hunters camp
This lover and maid SO true
Are seen at the hour OF the midnight

And paddle their own canoe.

others he made substantial contribu-
tons. He purchased clothing for the
poor of the city and in other ways
aided them during his stay here.
