ARREST GAMBLERS.
Twenty-seven Taken In mt Phila-
deIphiu- Cleveland Game.

New York, June 16.-Concerted action
of the presidents of clubs in both major
leagues against betting on games and
league races resulted today in the arrest
of twenty-seven men in Philadelphia and
the barring OF several others from the
Polo Grounds in this city. The cam
paign against the gamblers will be fol-
lowed. it is said, until they have been
driven out of business.
The Athletics-C Cleveland series in Phila-
delphia was seized upon by the book
makers as a field of endeavor. The series
is the most important thus far in the
American League race. A watch had
been kept, however, and today more than
a score of the gamblers were located in
the lower right field grand stand. They
were Immediately arrested and taken into
custody, charged with gambling.

Timid Danny Meadow Mouse,

Danny Meadow Mouse is timid Every
body says so. and what everybody says
ought to be So But just as anybody
can make mistake sometimes. so can
everybody Still in this case 1t Is quite
likely that everybody is right. Danny
Meadow Mouse is timid. Ask Peter Rab-
bit. Ask Sammy Jay. Ask Striped!
Chipmunk They will all tell you the
same thing. Sammy Jay might even tell
you that Danny is afraid of his own
shadow, or that he tries to run away
true. Sammy Jay likes to say mean
things. 1t isn't fair to Danny Meadow
Mouse to believe what Sammy Jay says:
But the fact is Danny certainly Is timid.
More than this. he isn't ashamed OF 1t
not the least little bit.
You see. it's this way" said Danny
as he sat on his doorstep one sunny
morning talking to his friend, old Mr..
Toad. "If 1 wasn't afraid l wouldn't be
all the time watching out, and II wasn't
all the time watching out wouldn't have
any more chance than that foolish red
ant running across in front of YOU"
Old Mr.. Toad looked where Danny was
pointing, and his tongue darted out and
back again SO quickly that Danny WASN'T
sure that he saw 1t at all, but when he
looked for the ant it was nowhere to be
seen, and there was a satisfied twinkle
in Mr.. Toad's eyes. There was an an

he continued.
mo, sir said he. Il wouldn't stand
a particle more chance than that foolish
ant did. Now. If I was big and strong
like Old Man Coyote. or had swift wings
like Skinner the Swallow, or was so
homely and ugly that no one wanted me
like-like-" Danny hesitated and then
finished rather lamely, like some folks
know, / suppose 1 wouldn't be afraid. "
Old Mr.. Toad looked up rather sharply
when Danny mentioned homely and ugly
looking people, but Danny was gazing
far out across the Green Meadows. and
looked SO innocent that Mr.. Toad con-
cluded that he couldn't have had him in
mind.

his nose. II suppose you may be right.
but for my part fear seems very fool
ish thing Now, I don't know what it
is. I mind my own business and no one
bothers me- l should think it would be
a very uncomfortable feeling"
at is replied Danny, but. as I said
before. it is q very good thing to keep
on guard when there are so many
watching for one as there are for me-.

Danny turned his head to hide smile,

NO" replied old Mr. Toad. mo. !
don't wonder that you are afraid. 1t must
be dreadful to feel hungry eyes are
watching for you every minute OF the
day and night, too
''Oh, it's not so bad" replied Danny.
Its rather exciting. Besides. 1t keeps

Mr.. Toad over his shoulder as he hurried
SO that he fell over his own feet
Danny chuckled as he sat alone on his
doorstep. "Oh. no, old Mr. Toad doesn't

some people won't admit what everybody

afraid, and I'm willing to say So"

When she was not there they looked after

that she could not bear 1t silently.
In time she came not only to dread

been forced to see her own inadequacy.
How could she go back and take up what
