Agler'S Shoes May Be Well Filled
+ss +s+
Eible Seems To Be the Real Goods

"Oh, well, we won't hold that
against him Mr.. Ryan asserted,
comfOrtingly, mot if he hits 800 with
us"
THAT, by the way, was Mr.. Ryan's
idea of successor to joe Agler.
Mighty slim chance to get a man
that will field like joe" said the di-
rector But if we can get a hard
walloper we can do with a good shade
off in the fielding. Give me team
that pounds the ball. That's the
easiest way to win bah games-make
lot of runs, and keep the other fell
lows on the run all the time"
Mr.. Ryan also is in favor of a vet
eran at second base
Get a lively, peppery kid at first,
and another at short, and maybe an
other at third, and then an old noodle
at second, he said. "That'Il steady
the youngsters and keep EN- in the
game all the time If Alperman
doesn't come back, and l understand
he won't my idea is another veteran
at second even If he hits only .26O or
.270. That fellow Starr, of Mobile,
would be about the kind"
THEN the talk turned on Mr.. Flan-
agan. crack slugger and outfield-
er, Obtained the other day from the
Decatur club of the Three-I circuit.
THAT fellow is said to be a bear"
Mr.. Galloway remarked. Were pref
ty well fixed already in the outfield,
unless something slips, But we don't
get a chance at a 1852 batter every
day. and we thought best to take him
on"
Flanagan, who evidently is no
Dutchman, played in 1871 games and
damned out $50 hits. He felded .96S
and otherwise looks like likely hand.
60 the directors of the Atlanta
- Baseball Association planned for
the 1914 campaign and they seemed
to be getting a lot of comfort out Of
it, too The impression we got from
the conference was that neither eff
fort nor cash would be spared to keeo
up the fine stride Of the Crackers
next year.
Which is q very cheerful attitude
for the fans to contemplate during

The degradation and misuse Of

''yeoman" is a good old English word
the meaning of which should be care
fully cherished. Any country laborer
or farmer is not yeoman. A yeoman
is a man who cultivates his own free
hold, who farms his own land. He Is
no mans servant, and may hold his
head as high as the squire. There are
still yeomen of ancient blood In Eng

ChiId's Smile.

In house on my square there lives
little girl three years old who, every
morning at about eight o'clock when
the front doors on the square open
and workers come hurrying down
their steps, appears at her nursery
window, open except in very stormy
weather "Good-by!" she calls to
each one, smiling, and waving her
small hand, "good-by!"
"Good-by!" we all call back, good
BY" We smile too and wave hand
to the little girl. Then almost invari-
ably we glance at each other and
smile again together. Thus our day
begins. Her little smile seems to
brighten my classroom, no matter
how cloudy the day
1t is no new thing to hear that we
do too much for our children, but we
are coming to see that the converse
is equally true; that the children do
much for us, and help us, whether
our tasks be great or small, to "go
to our labor smiling"

Was Ready for Any Language.

Caleb Cushing, one of the American
counsel at Geneva when the Alabama
claims were arbitrated, was, accord
ing to a recent magazine article, re-
markable linguist. He made his ar
gument before the tribunal in fluent
French; he replied in Italian to ques-
ton asked in that language, and when
Lord Cockburn objected to this, Cush-
ing replied that while French was the
official language of the tribunal, he
was willing that the argument should
be continued in any language that
Lord Cockburn might select, not ex-
cepting Chinese.

his first big fire, and the sight of
that flaming hell had paralyzed his
limbs, although his heart was brave
enough. He had only wanted some
one to lead him, some word OF en-
couragement to do heroic deeds. But
alone, he could not take the initiative.
John Harrigan," said Bethany,
1--WE been on the force for seven and
Thirty years. When l was a young
ster I was a coward. At my first fire
hung back. Because of that wom-
an died. I've never told anyone but
you, Harrigan, because I've never met
another coward but you. John" he
continued, "go back to your company
and act like a man"
Harrigan found the tears running
down his cheeks when he got outside.
Chief Bethany coward? Why,
everyone knew that he was the bray-
est fireman in the country. Well. if
he had done that and yet redeemed
himself, Harrigan could.
The fire men received the news Of
his reinstatement badly. Some voted
for hazing him, others for blackjack
ing, but finally they agreed to give
him rope He'll do worse for him
self than that" was the general YER
dict.
Harrigan could endure their silence
He knew that If only his chance
came, he could redeem himself. But
Mary Conner. his sweetheart, was
told of the affair by rival. She
wrote him a curt. little note Of dis
missal. 81 don't want to marry a
coward" she said When he met
her on the street she cut him dead
Soon he heard that she was engaged
to another.
And his chance never came. That
was the crown Of his tragedy. He
was put on detail work, set to copy
ing documents in the sub-chief's office.
He was never allowed out again
There was the Fourth avenue fire,
when three men were killed by fall
ing beam. If he had had the chance
but it never came. For a whole
year he did not don fireman's clothes
One day he walked into Bethany's
office.
Chief" he said, 81 haven't had my
chance. I have been doing a clerks
lob. Give me my chance to show
that I'm a man.
Bethany looked at him, looked un-
der his beetling eyebrows clear into
his, heart
Il thought you'd resign, Harrigan,"
ne said 1--WE don't like towards on
he force, but we hate more to put
man off for cowardice. You'll have
your chance now. Report back for
1uty."
For whole year he had seen moth
ing of Mary. Somebody told him
hat she was married. He knew that
her family had moved away. He
never expected to see her again. He
onged now for his chance, not that
ne might regain the esteem and
friendship of his comrades, but SO
hat he could die worthily
His chance did come, about three
