Where Many Make Mistake,

With gentle heart and sound rea-
sohing powers man comes to admire
IN others the qualities which he him
self lacks, but earlier wanted so much
that he considered any one possess
ing them more or less of an enemy.
1t is only men who have done nothing
with a single talent, or possibly a con-
fuslng group OF talents, who remain to
the end of life bitter toward those
who have made good, having but one
or two.

Queer EnClish DUTY.

Americans will be interested to
know that from 1860 it has been Gus
tomary to take a duty as one of the
hereditary customs of the crown. In
1860 there was a duty of eight pence
a gallon on all the tea liquor sold in
all coffee houses--a great inconveni-
ence to tea drinkers. because 1t was
surveyed only twice day by the ex-
else officers, and so could only be
brewed twice day.-London Mail.

jack LANDRY MAY
MANAGE SUPERIOR
Star Fielder of 1911 Minny
League Champions is
Offered Berth.

Superior Wis. Feb. 2O.-Thc posi-
ton of manager OF the Superior Nor
thefn league team has l,ccn offered to
Jack Landry, star fielder Of the Su-
pcrior Minny league champions of
1911, who probably will accept it. The
only hitch in the negotiations is said
tn he due to a lame ankle from which
Landry is suffering as 3 result of In
juries received while working as Il
%swilchman, and which might make 1t
impossiblc for him to do more than
u the team from the bench.
If he cam play, and it is believed he
will lie able to do So, there is little
doubt that nc Will take the rcins.
President William Sommer of the Su-
perior club is expected here from
California early in March to complete
arrangements for putting the team IN
the field. In the e he does not
close with Landry. who has already
heen signed as an umpire in the
league, he has several other candi-
dates under consideration. among
them William Dunn, an inficlder on
the Superior team for several seasons.

Robert b. Ward, the millionaire
baker of Pittsburg, who is said to
be the head Of several local bread
trusts, is the nan who has shocked
the magnatcs of the National and
American leagues more than any one
else. except ]. A. Gilmore, president
of the Federal league.
For it was Mr.. Ward who has put
up the money for the entry of the
closed Il deal the other day by which
lie took a ten-year lease on Washing
ton Park, Brooklyn, the old home of
the National league there. 1nasmuch
as the park is within thirty minutes
of the downtown section Of New
York city. where most of the baseball
patrons como from, his action is vir-
tually the same as placing a club on
Manhattan Island. In fact, WASH
ington Park. though across the East
River. is really nearer Manhattan
than the Polo grounds, which Is so
far north on the island that the trip
fifty minutes OH the elevated line.
After the Federal league had brok-
Oh into Chicago the next place Of
importance to give it standing was
New York City. The location of q
club there placed it alongside the two
major leagues. Had Chicago and
New York been left out many base
ball men would have been inclined
to place the new league in a class
with the International n the Amer
lean association.
If MIR. Ward can put a winning
club in Brooklyn he will have con
siderable advantage over the Ma
tional league club, for his grounds
are much more conveniently located.
and the Brooklyn club has been SO
far down in the winning list that it
has come to be something of a joke.
