And the Other Understood.

The man with the bandaged hand
gazed long and deliberately at the
man in front of him-perhaps for the
space of 20 seconds-then:
Have you ever been to a ticket
Office and asked for information anent
some train?" he asked mildly.
why, certainly" replied the one
addressed.
so it may have been your lot to
discover the man behind the grille,
who is merely there for the pleasure
of giving you the said information
curiously unresponsive-not to say
impOlite or even rude?"
"Umph Yes, must say have had
one or two experiences like that"
Well" replied the other, as he pre-
pared to go on his way, you now
know the cause Of my bandaged
hand"

NO LONGER SELECTS THE HAT
Hubbys First and Last, Experience at
Millinery Store, Was Alto
gether Too Costly.

Congressman Ralph w. Moss of In
diana did not care much for hat his
wife wore. He finally spoke about it.
Mrs. Moss admitted that it was plain,
and, instead of taking exceptions to
her husbands remark, invited him to
accompany her the next time she
bought hat.
Il can certainly pick out a better
one than that" said Mr. Moss.
=" So they went to the store together,
Mrs. Moss said not word as the
comely milliner displayed one beau
tiful bonnet after another. 1t was the
first time Mr.. Moss had ever been in
a millinery store, but he appeared to
be at ease, and finally selected one of
the most joyful creations in the en-
tire stock. Mrs. Moss looked well in
it. She was pleased.
'Ill take that" said the Hoosier
congressman. How much is it?"
Forty dollars" said the pretty girl
without even a blink.
Mr. Moss saw blue stars, but luck
lily had just come from the bank
and was able to produce that much
in cash. Now he let's Mrs Moss buy
her own hats and he does not COM
plain about their being plain.-Judge.

MANAGERS ARE PAID $4,000
New York Has Pair of Expensive
Baseball Leaders in John Nc
GraW and Frank Chance.

With John J. McGraw and Frank LIE
roy Chance guarding the city walls
and opposing all invaders, New York
can consider its interests fairly well
protected for the next campaign.
1t isn't often that single city can
boast Of two baseball leaders drawing
$4,000, or Whereabouts, a year in
the way of salaries. Not often, at
least
Nor is it often that any one city can
look to pair of managers who within
the last ten years have gathered in
eight pennants between them and in
the off years have managed to finish
from the wire.
These comparative records show
fairly well the quality of Manhattans
managerial talent for 1913.
McGraw-Four pennants, second
three times, third, twice, fourth once.
Chance-Four pennants, second
twice, third once
McGraw has led the Giants ten
years. Chance has carried the Cubs
forward for several seasons. A matter
of eight pennants out of seventeen
starts is about as bulky pennant
average as anyone would care to
lamp.
Through the last ten years only
three managers have carried the flag
fight to the wire in the older league,
finishing 1, 2, in turn. They were
Chance, McGraw and Clarke, and now
of the three New York has two at the
front of her two clubs.
The value of a manager is shown
in the fact that while McGraw, Chance
and Clarke have been forced to re-
build their machines and to discard
old talent, they have always kept in
the race, whatever their material

Chance last season had only four

SOME THINGS TO THINK OVER
Worth While Sitting Down Quietly
and Reasoning on the Cues
ton, whats the USER

That old cry of. What's the use?"
Is supposed to be the hallmal k of the
pessimist, but many a self-satisfied
woman would do we'll to put the test
of Whats the use?" in her daily liV-
ing.
What's the use of stinting so hard
for a rainy day that you get no fun
out of the passing sunny ones? This
was the motto of Edwin Abbey, and
the woman who prides herself on her
thrift and reviIes the spendthrift
habits of her friend will do well to
ponder it.
What's the use of a charitable purse
and an uncharitable tongue? Kind
words are infinitely more than cor
onets or donations on a subscription
list
What's the use of playing the anna
bic role in society and snapdragon
in the family circle? Walls have ears,
also neighbors have tongues, and the
real you is not unknown.
What's the use of posing as a ped
ant with dime novel taste? Mental
ity does not need labelling, and you'll
never convince the person with brains
that you prefer Darwin to the Ouch
ess
What's the use of being a cat to
your best girl friend because of a
man? The girl will get even and the
man sees through you.
What's the use of running your
health to crafty your ambition? The
quicker a woman learns the unhap-
piness of life when, half i'll the bigger
chance she stands of success.
What's the use of playing young
when the years have you in their
grip? Age is not so unlovely that the
aging should treat it as a disgrace
Far better a charming old woman
than a pitiable mimicry of youth.
What's the use of striving for the
big puddle when you would be so
much happier in the small one. Learn
ing ones limitations saves heartache.
