What is that the fielder's wingin'
What is that the batter's stingin',
What is that goes wizzin' by,
While the fielder bats his eye,
What is that the shortstop flags,
What is that the small boy shags?
It's a ball, it's a ball, it's a ball.
What is that the batter picks,
When he wants to get his hicks,
Covers with tobacco juice,
Lets no other player use,
Swings with all his hefty might,
Tryin' for a two-base smite?
It's a bat, it's a bat, it's a bat.
What Is that the player hates.
And the manager berates,
Comes just when 1t hurts the most,
Brings the guilty one a roast,
Causes JOY among the foe,
Maybe makes the pitcher blow?
It's a boot, it's a boot, it's a boot
What is that the batter likes,
As a miner likes his strikes,
What is that he talks about,
Takes his stand and larrups out,
What is that he fails to get,
Cause him to beef and fret?
It's a hit, it's a hit, it's a hit.

Senator Fletcher, of Florida; even

Now, in word painting, the Sena-

touched upon the San Francisco
earthquake and sketched the scenes
of that dreadful dawn, the goose
flesh pimpled up on his audience and
folks began to wriggle in the chairs.
Right in the middle if it there
was a sudden jar of the building, a

and feminine cries of distress,

CHILD'S PLAY.
(Chester Firkins.)

Children four years old work in
eanneries sixteen hours a day" testi-
fes an investigator. Most of them
work because 1t is play for them"
says the
Before the suns first beams alight
Upon your baby's pillow white,
Spinning with magic Heayen-old
Those tousled curls to threaded
gold;
Long ere those sleepy eyes shall
CLEAN
From out the fairyland of dream;
Before the eock-crow cleayes the
air
Afar the factory whistles blare
The night-birth of the toilers' day,
And call THEIR babies QUITO play.
While smiling Ger the breakfast
board,
Your little ehatelaine or lord
Prattles of jolly plans to bless
A long glad day of n~othingness.
Afar-though only at your door
Where "Industry's" proud engines
roar,
THEIR babies, with weak wounded
hands
And heads that nod despite com
mands
And hearts that never shall be gay
Bend slowly, sickly to their-play.
Their playthings are the canning
shears:
The engines rumble in their ears;
Their f%airyland the misty gray
OF half-lit rooms that breed dismay;
Their playmates, the grim, s%ullen,
men,
And women hard past human ken;
Yet none will stop their "merriment'
TIL all their little strength be spent.
So. gentlemen. and this you say
Is-yes. for Death 1t may be-play,

A farmers Defense.

The world is full of deeds of praise,
But what is that to me?
work my fields and do my chores,
Nor care what deeds they be
Year in, year out, with glare and
gold,
The wonder world goes by,
And all my fellows of the fields
As little care as /.
But o, it seems another world,
Out there where things are done,
Where glories worth a kings desire
We see so bravely won.
But something clutches at my heart
When ! would rise and go
Who wins the most shall lose the
most
The world is ordered so.
The children crowd about my knee
And question till ! tell
About the golden wonder world
Where all their heroes dwell.
Their eager voices thrill my heart,
| see their eyes a-shine.
And would not change for wonder
worlds
This little world of mine.
So unashamed | stand with those
Who do no deeds of praise;
We work our fields and do our
chores. /
Unhonored all our days,
We may not set the world on fire,
And yet We do our share!
Without our toll your wonder world
Would hungry go and bare.

judge to protect him, but without

safe. within the sacred precincts of
the bar, grew more offensive.
"If the court will not protect
me, | will protect myself" finally an
nouneed young Owen.
The fatuous attorney, however,
instead of taking warning, grew still
more offensive. Suddenly, at the
end of one of his most insulting re-
marks, a pile-driver collided with the
point of his jaw and somebody
turned off the sunlight for twenty
minutes.
Next day, as young Owen was
walking upon the street. he passed
two attorneys.
There goes that young Owen"

jaw say to the other. He's like the

OPPOSITION is I'm THE OPEN"
Republicans Make Public Meeting OF
Tariff Caucus.

Washington, April 1.-THE Re-
publicans of the house last night
met in open caucus and began con-
sideration of the tariff.
The question of making the eau
Gus a public meeting kept the Re-
lpublicans in secret session for more
than an hour. AS less than half Of
the Republican representatives were
present, 1t was decided to open the
doors to the press for the meeting
land to allow the question of making
future caucusses open to all settled
at caucus next week to be held af-
ter the Democratic tariff bill is re-
ported to the house. Minority Lead
er Mann offered the resolution to
open the doors of the caucus and
Representative Madden Of Illinois
presented the one to make all Re-

providing that Republicans should
not be bound by the action of the
caucus, but should be free to vote

legislative matters" was allowed to
go over to the next meeting.
Representative Garner of Massa-

pare an amendment to the Demo-

DEMOCRATS BAR BATH

Washington. April 14.--senatori
who have been accustomed to splash
luxuriously in the fine baths in tn,
senate office building win splass
there no more. The big baths, b,
order OF the Democratic caucus Of
the senate, have been locked up and
the bath attendants have had their
official heads cut off. All this in
the way Of economy. it was said
today.
The next move is to be against
the senate barber shop, where SEN
ators are allowed to have their
whiskers trimmed and their hair cut
free. The barber shop may be con-
tinued but each senator will have
to pay for HIS service.
Senator Kenyon, Republican OF
Iowa, is one OF those who believe
that the free hair cuts should be
discontinued, and last session at

NO SENATE TARIFF HEARING.
Committee Knows All 1t Cares to
Know About the Question.

Washington, April 1.-THE SEN
ate finance committee has determin-
ed not to have hearings on the tariff
bill. Manufacturers in many lines
of industry have appealed to Chair
man Simmons and other members
of the committee for an opportunity
to present arguments against the
rates proposed in the Underwood
bill.
The senate committee members
take the position, however, that the
hearings conducted by the house
ways and means committee in jan
uary we're sufficiently thorough to
cover practically all the points the
senate needs to consider in connec-
ton with the tariff revision.
1t is believed now that the tariff
bill, after 1t finally reaches the sem
ate, will not remain in the commit
tee more than ten days. Some ex-
pert testimony and some new infor-
nation on certain disputed ideas
may be obtained by the committee,
but no open hearings will be held.
