Readino the Riot Act.

What is commonly meant by read ing the riot act'' is better known than the origin of the phrase. The histori- cal riot act was passed by the British parliament in the reign of George I. in 1714. It enacts that felony is commit ted when twelve or more persons un- lawfully. riotousiy and tumultuously assemble together to the disturbance of the public peace. so to continue to- gether for an hour after being com manded to disperse by the sheriff or undersherif or justice or the mayor of the borough
 In the reading of the British riot act, which is 9 necessary preliminary to its being put f.. to operation, 1t is not customary to srecite the whole of the statute, which is rather long one, but only the following proclamation, which it contains: ''Our sovereign lord the king chargeth and commandeth all per sons being assembled immediately to disperse themselves and peaceably to depart te their habitations Of to their lawful business upon the pains con- tained in the act made in the first year of King George for preventing tumuIts and riotous assemblies. God save the king!"

HAMBURG STEAMER GROUNDS IN ELBE
 ON MAIDEN TRIP

Hamburg. April 22|The new Ham burg-American line steamship Impera- tor, 800 feet long, ran aground in the Elbe, this morning. She was proceed ing from the Vulcan shipbuilding yards for the lower E1be to make ready for her official trial trips when she grounded off Altoona. Under fla vorable conditions it is hoped she can be floated tonight.
 The steamship Imperator, when she goes into commission with the start of her maiden voyage to New York on May 2S, will, for a time, be the larg- est vessel sailing. Her keel was laid two years ago, 300 feet in length or al- most double that of Germany's largest war'ship. Her other dimensions are 96 feet beam and 62 feet depth.
 Reports have been printed that Elm peror William would be among a par ,ty of distinguished Germans who would accompany the trial board on the first trip.
 The Imperator started at the highest stage of the morning tide as. it was feared there would be barely enough water under the most favorable condi- tions. Four tugs, two ahead and two astern, kept the vessel in nid-channel but in spite of this she touched bottom and stuck fast It is thought that with a change of wind she will be off with the full tide this evening.

Sinninc the RIAdne


 ''New York is a town of pledge sign ers," said a transplanted Bostonian. People sign pledges to refrain from about every vice and pleasure known to the human race. Pledges striking death blow at intemperance and pro- fanity, of course, are most popular here, as elsewhere, but they are only the top liners in a varied list of absti- nenceS.
 During my six months residence in New York I have been approached by emissaries from humane societies, bo- tanical and horticultural societies, pa triotic societies, physical culture clubs and every kind of benevolent insdtu- tion the town affords, asking me to pledge myself to refrain from doing any of the things those organizations condemn. At pledge headquarters they even attempt to regulate your literary and musical tastes by obtaining your promise not to read certain books or listen to certain kinds of music. No matter how freakish a pledge may seem to the average citizen it finds hundreds of supporters. and as all pledges really tend to regeneration it Is not unnatural to expect the millen- nium to strike New York most any day."-New York Times.

GRIFFITH RAISES
 PITCHERS BOX AT
 PARK IN WASHINGTON

Walter Johnson, Bob GroomS, and other pitchers of the Washington club do not look with favor upon the new arrangement of the diamond at Ma tional Park, and are not sangutne as to what the answer will be.
 In view of the fact that the Sena- tors last season hit the ball hard and timely at home where the pitchers box and home plate are on dead level, the Old Fox last fall decided that @ slight elevation of the home plate might accentuate batting on the part of the Climbers, so he ordered Groundkeeper Fitzgerald to raise the plate and both batters' boxes about one inch, which Fitzgerald has done.
 When the Nationals first worked out Walter Johnson pitched to the bat CTS, and when he returned to the dressing room said: Gee, whiz! the home plate looked to be about 90 feet away. I don't know whether I will be able to twirl good ball here this season or not" The other pitchers, especially the youngsters, side in with Johnson.
 Manager Griffith makes the claim that Johnson can pitch just as well with the home plate elevated as with the pitchers box four or five inches higher, as was the case here last sea- son and in previous years. Also, that the other pitchers will become accus- toned to the change and will not only twirl good ball at home, but be more effective on the road, as with the eX- ception of Cleveland, the various American league parks have the pitchers box on top of a young noun

LincoIn,s Book Friends.

A few fine books, well known, like few fine friends, are worth more than many mere acquaintances. The Bible, 'tAesop's Fatles,'' Robinson Crusoe" and ''Pngrim's Progress" were Lin- coln's real friends. He used to lie on the floor and laugh over the Arabian Nights" When his stepmother saw that books meant great deal more to him than they did to any of her own children she took particular care" as she said, mot to disturb him till he quit of his own accord" She honored his private bookcase between the logs next to his bed, and the big fires he used to build to read by at night. She knew that he carried book out to the fields so that he could read while his horse was resting, and often she would find him copying out, with his turkey buzzard pen and brier root ink, some favorite part to remember. "A boy like that deserves to have his chance,' 9 she would say to herself.-Ariadne GIL bert in St. Nicholas.
