HIRED MAN KNEW THE GAME
His nexterity on First Base Surprised
the Younosters Until They Learn
cd More Of He Career.

In the American Magazine Hugh s.
Fullerton writes an article entitled
"The Making Of Big Lacquer" It is
the story of one Of the greatest ball
players in the United States as told
by himself to Mr.. Fullerton. This
player was . country boy and, Of
course began to play the game early.
He tells the following story about an
incident Of his boyhood:
Father had a hired man named
Ned, tall, quiet fellow with pair of
blue eyes that seemed always about
to laugh, but seldom did. He had been
with US year. He got drunk perl
odically, and after each spree father
hunted him up and brought him back
to work. We asked him to play with
US, and he laughed and said he reck-
oned he would try to>play first base if
paw would let him of. fixed it with
father, and Ned played first barehand-
ed making catches and stops that
filled us with establishment. Also he
made five home runs, two into the
railroad pond and three into the barn
lot back of left field. Walking home
that evening he told me he had played
ball professionally, yet it was not until
two years later that learned he once
had been a famous outfielder with a
great team"

ITCHING TERRIBLE ON, LIMB

r. F. D. No. 3, Clarkfield, MINI.
my trouble was Of long standing. It
started with some small red and yell
low spots about the size of a pin head
on my leg and every morning there
was dry scale on top covering the
affected part and when those scales
were falling of the itching was more
than could stand at times. The first
year l did not mind it SO much as it
was only itching very badly at times,
but the second year it advanced all
around my leg and the itching was
terrible. l had to be very careful to
have my clothing around the affected
part very loose At night time often
happened to scratch the sore in my
sleep. Then had to stand up, get out
of bed and walk the floor till the spell
was over.
II bought lots. of salves and tried
many different kinds Of medicine but
without any success. / got cake OF
Cuticura Soap and a fifty-cent box OF
Cuticura Ointment and when I had
used them l was nearly over the itch

GoQp RESULT OF SUGGESTION
Chance Phrases and Ideas That Have
Been Utilized and Found to
Have Real Value.

Richard Mansfield told me that
when he was lad in London he often
nearly starved. There was a certain
bakeshop where he would 60 and feast
upon the odors coming from the door.
The boyhood notion gave him the idea
of putting those lines in his play,
BEAU Brummel," about dining on
the names of things"-a suggestion
be used with powerful dramatic ef-
feet.
This idea of suggestion has done
many good deed. About ninety
years ago thirsty man walked up
Wall street, understand the habit of
getting thirst no longer prevails
there, or maybe 1t is only the manner
of allaying it-and pumped lineup

"And what did he do them" inquired

FEW WALK FOR PLEASURE
Writer Laments That "Trampinos
Has Become One Of tho Arts
That Are Lost and Mourned.

There are SO many lost arts nova
days that one hesitates to add any
more. We are told that letter writing
is a lost art, and conversation. We
are sure that doing nothing must be.
because SO many women develop neu-
rasthenia when they attempt to prac-
tice 1t. The critics of the drama as
sure us that acting is. and the critics
of opera that singing Is. and the critics
of literature that poetry is.
Yet, at the danger of overcrowding
the mortuary chapel of the arts, q
long observation of our highways, BY
ways and mountain trails has per-
suaded us that the art Of walking has
now persisted also and must be as
signed to the same mournful resting
place. Nobody walks any more. ex-
cept the Appalachian club, the Boy
Scouts and President John Finley Of
the College Of the City of New York
really walks, that is.
Walking is still practiced Gas little
as POSSIBILITY utilitarianly. Many New
York women, for example. totter on
dizzy heels from their motors at the
curb all the way across the sidewalk.
But as an art it is no longer practiced.
The secret has been forgotten by all
save chosen few-of whom. Of
course, we are one!
We hold no brief against motors.
What's the use? Besides, they are
very useful things in getting you to
a convenient starting point for a walk.
The only trouble with motors Is that
people stay in them. The Yankee
type used to be lank and sinewy.
Pioneers and pedestrians are always
more or less lank and sinewy. But
the motors are altering our type. The
man who takes 20-mile walk for the
Stun of 1t is looked upon as a mild
sort Of lunatic. Why walk when a
motor will get you there so much
quicker ?-Walter Pinchard Eaton, in
American Magazine.

It Wouldn't start.

They've got new joke, over at

on every stranger that will bite, but
they won't spring it any more, be-
cause everybody will know it after it

Plain Dealer.
The stranger is led to ask, who is
that man over in the corner"
Then the other fellow says, That's
Blank, a new member. He's not very
