Oh, Papal See the pretty house!
Yes, my Son, it is indeed pretty
The owner has just finished it. He
will soon be sorry.
Why do you think that, Papa?
Because, my Son, here comes the
Assessor; he will fine the man for
improving the lot. He will fine him
every year.
And, Papa, will he fine the man
with the empty lot next door?
Not much, my Son.
Why not, Papa?
Why not? Why, because the man
with the empty lot has not committed
an improvement. Why should he be
fined?
Oh. Papa, you are joking.
Am |, my Son? Well, just you put
up pretty house and see the Assess

Tn. Kind of Boy 4. Wa.

That Marshall Field Of Chicago knew
how to wrest victory from defeat and
make stepping stones OF stumbling
blocks Il shown by the following story
told Of him by friend:
When boy young Field went to a
great merchant and asked. do you
want a boy?" Nobody wants a boy"
replied the merchant. do you need a
boy?" the boy persisted, not at all
abashed. Nobody needs boy" was
the reply. But he would not give up,
well. say. mister do you have to have
a boy?" Il think likely we do" re-
piled the merchant. land rather think
we will have to have boy Just like
you"

BASEBALL LITERATURE.

Occasionally some real literature|
finds its way into the periodicals of
the day. For instance, in the Saturday
Evening Post young man not hith-
erto to fame or fortune known, Ring
w. Lardner, is appearing with occa-
sional stories of the experiences of a
baseball pitcher. They are told in the
form of letters FROM the pitcher to
his friend AL.
1t isn't merely that Mr.. Lardner
has caught the dialect of the unedu-
Gated country boy who breaks into
the big league. He reveals the char
acter of his hero in little touches that
are great. There are experienced nov
elists of reputation who ought to give
their eyes for the ability to hit off
a real human being with the uncon-
scious art Of this newspaper sporting
writer. who is making an excursion
into the magazines.
His pitcher, Jack, is thick headed,
stupid chap, thoroughly egotistieal,
close listed, kind hearted and abso-
lutely without nerves. Take this pas
sage from one OF his letters showing
Jacks idea of repartee:
Cobb comes pranceing up like
he always does and yells, Give me
that slow one Boy. So | says All
right. But | fooled him. Instead
Of giveing him slow one like |
said | was going to, | handed him
a splitter. He hit it all right, but
1t was a line drive right in
Chase's hands. He says Pretty
lucky Boy but ! viii get you next
time. ! come right back at him.
says Yes you will.
1t breaks Jacks heart to have to
spend money He gives up the idea
of going on the winter trip around
the world because he would have to
buy "a evening full dress suit and
they tell me they cost pretty near
$50"
In Washington he is called on to
pitch against the mighty Walter john
son. Most pitchers might be expected
TO be worried to death over their first
experience of that sort. But Jack
simply is without nerves. This is tho
way the fact comes out:
While Washington was takeing
their practice their two coachers
Shaefer and Altrock got out on
the infield and cut up and pretty
near busted laughing at them.
They certainly is funny Al. Call
lahan asked me what was | laugh
ing at and ] told him and he says
That's the first time | ever seen
pitcher laugh when he was GO
ing TO work against Johnson.
There is real art in that touch Of
the pitcher who is so undisturbed that
he laughs at the antics of the coach
ers just before going in against the
most celebrated Of his rivals. There
is real art all through his stories.

The following story was told by a
priest at recent Knights of Column
bus banquet in a neighboring state:
"Why don't you say your morning
prayers any more?" asked Catho-
lie mother, severely, of her little son.
"My prayer is too long; why can't
say that short prayer papa says every
morning before he gets up?' replied
the boy. The mother readily consent
ed, and was considerably surprised
when the little fellow folded his hands
piously and said with subdued emf
phasis; 20, Lord, how hate to get
up"

4 He crouched low, his head straigh
out, and his throat slose to the snow
1t was a trick Kazan had learned il
puppyhood-t shield his throat an
wait.
Twice the wolf circled about hin
and Kazan pivoted slowly, his eye
half closed. A second time the vol
leaped and Kazan threw up his terri
BILE jaws, sure of that fatal grip just
in front of the forelegs. His teeth
snapped on empty air. With the MIN
bleness of cat the wolf had gone
completely over his back.
The trick had failed, and with a
rumble of the dog snarl in his throat
Kazan reached the wolf in a single
bound. They met breast to breast.
Their fangs clashed, and with the
whole weight of his body, Kazan flung
himself against the VOLTS shoulders,
cleared his jaws and struck again for
the throat hold. 1t was another miss
by a hair breadth-and before he
could recover the VOLTS teeth were
buried in the back of his neck.
For the first time in his life Kazan
felt the terror and the pain of the
death grip, and with a mighty effort
he flung his head little forward and
blindly. His powerful jaws
closed on the VOLTS foreleg, close to
the body. There was a cracking of
bone and crunching of flesh, and
the circle, of waiting wolves grew
.ense and alert. One or the other of
he fighters was sure to go down be-
ore the holds were broken, and they
,ut awaited that fatal fall as a sig
lal to leap in to the death.
Only the thickness of the hair and
tide on the back of Kazan's neck and
oughness of his muscles saved him
rom that terrible fate of the van
uished. The VOLTS teeth sank deep,
ut not deep enough to reach the vi
al spot, and suddenly Kazan put ev-
ry ounce of strength in his limbs to
ne effort and flung himself bodily up
rom under his antagonist. The grip
n his neck relaxed and with another
caring leap he tore himself free.
AS swift as a whiplash he whirled
1 the broken legged leader of the
lck, and with the full rush and
eight of his shoulders struck him |
irly in the side. More deadly than
e throat grip had Kazan sometimes
und the lunge when delivered at the
ght moment. 1t was deadly now, II
lie big gray wolf lost his feet, rolled |
on his back for an instant and the
ok rushed in, eager to rend the
st of life from the leader whose
wer had ceased to exist.

from the feast. Slowly they circleC

drew about the fighters.
1t was not new to Kazan. A dozer
times ne had sat in rings like this
waiting for the final moment More
than once he had fought for his life
within the circle. 1t was the sledge
dog way of fighting. Unless man
interrupted with a club or whip it al
ways ended in death. Only one fighter
could come out alive. Sometimes both
died. And there was no man here
only that fatal Gordon of waiting
white-faced demons, ready to leap
upon and tear to pieces the first of the
fighters who was thrown upon his side
or back. Kazan was a stranger, but
he did not fear those who hemmed him
in. The one great law of the pack
would compel them to be fair.
He kept his eyes only on the big
gray leader who had challenged him.
Shoulder to shoulder they continued
to circle. Where a few minutes be-
fore there had been the swapping of
laws and the rending of flesh, there
vas now silence. Soft footed and
loft throated mongrel dogs from the
south would have snarled and growl-

heir ears laid forward instead of

Taking Things Quietly

1t is a good thing for women to
learn to take things quietly, not, how
ever. mistaking quietly for easily.
Quietness is quite compatible with
perseverance and strength and con-
tinued effort, but taking things easily
seems to suggest slackness and in
dolence.
There are certain seasons of the
year when most of US try 10 eaten up
with our work. and the springtime is
one Of these. ~ really must do So
and-so." we say rs We think Of some
long neglected duty; and then We
make a rush at II Most likely It is
only half done in the end for we did
not count on how long it would take,
and soon it has to be put aside for
the everyday tasks. And So in spite
of spasmodic efforts to crowd a days
work into a few short hours, we are
still weighed down with the knowl-
edge of things left undone, says the
Camden Daily Courier.
Well. in such a case the best way
is to take things quietly in. a very
real sense by deliberately separating
what must be done from what we
should like to do, and then planning
to accomplish the must bes" first.
The woman whose motto is take
things easily just does things as
they come into her head. and she
probably plumes herself on her pla-
cidity, but there is a very clear dis
tinction between quietness and care
lessness.
