!. On Sept. 4, 1909, the Bryant school
was opened In five small rooms over a
grocery store. The enrolment that
year was ITO, with four teachers. The
brave spirit Of this woman, her clear
vision and wise management, gained
for the school friends who made it pos
sible to close the year free of debt.
Now there are eight teachers and 275
pupils. Thirty-eight Of these are in the
kindergarten department.
A recent visit to this school at night
was Of unique interest. The rooms
over the grocery store, in which the
school is still held, are in size II by Is.
Two classes were being conducted in
each. There are no desks in these
rooms, and the blackboards are very
poor. From 100 until 10 o'clock these
grown people who have worked hard
all day pore over their books with an
eagerness which is pathetic. Some Of
them walk six and seven miles to get
here. One woman, who conducts a
school of her own Of sixty pupils dur

seizes with avidity every possible scrap

The Honor of Life.

The honor of our life derives from
this: to have a certain aim before us

the peril of uncertain ways. Then,
though we miss the goal, our search
is crowned with courage, and along
the path we find rich reward OF
unexpected things.-Henry van Dyke.

Until few years ago. when most of
the club owners in the American and
National leagues began constructing
new stands, there were many 25.cent
seats. But since then they have been
growing scarcer and scarcer. The old
bleacher area In most of the parks
has been cut into three parts, the two
parts nearest the home plate selling
at so cents, and only the little stretch
that Is farthest away from the plate
being allotted to the 25-cent fans.
The rules of the big leagues provide
for 25.cent seats, but they do not
specify the number. Because of that
little error that would have protected
the 25.cent fans the magnates have
reduced the bleacher seats from mum.

with the plan, too. II his colleagues
had not backed out at the very last

QUEER ANGLE IN BASEBALL
Umpire Brennan Allows Runner to

STAFF, In a tanning bee the other day,
"a play that puzzled the crowd for a

tired.
Scoring run after side Is out
Is a ticklish situation for any UNI.
pire, and I can honestly say that sci.
dom before have I heard of an in.
stance where an umpire must rule on
such an affair. There were three
Kansas City men on the bags, and
two out. The batter had three balls
and one strike, and apparently a hit.
and.run signal was given. As the Buns
pitcher wound up, the men on first
and second started out on a gallop, but
the man occupying third saw that
the ball was wide, and he started of
slowly to stroll home, as the run was
forced in. The runner who had been
on second, however, had decided to
give an exhibition Of speed. I guess,
for he dashed around third and took
big lead toward the plate. Quick as
fash Wilson pegged the ball to
Zeider, and the runner was tagged
out.
That out was made before the strag.
gler who had been on third reached
the plate, and there we have situa.
ton that would puzzle anyone for an
instant. The Packer tagging from
third continued to walk home, and he
registered the run probably three sec.
onds after the third man had been re.
tired at third. There was nothing to
do but to allow the run, as the pass
issued with the sacks full forced in q
run which must be counted, even
though a speed boy pulled bone on
the sacks"
