GOOD ONE ON POP

Ty Cobb, addressing the Mississippi
legislature, recalls the speech Cap
Arson made at a banquet in London,
during the first tour of the world 20
years ago. There were titled sports
men, members of the royalty and no.
bility present, and the marquis of
Queensberry was the host. Arson
was bit ratified. He was striving to
thank the marquis, and said.
"The people of the United States
will ever remember his-will ever re-

Cap faltered, gazed wildly around

HARD WORK is WHAT WINS; SCHULTZ COULD

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON.

The activity of the veterans of each
team have seen during the training
season recalls a remark Frank
Chance once made. We were watch
ing bunch of young players loafing,
stalling and trying to escape work,
and Chance remarked: "A fellow
doesn't commence to work hard and
have pepper until he has been at least
four years in the big league" -.
1t is an odd fact that with almost
every team in the country it is the
old timer, and not the youngster, that
works hard. The youngsters do not
seem to appreciate the fact that base
ball is serious business, and that hard
work is what wins.
The case of Frank Schultz is in
point Schultz is not lazy. He always
looks as if Indifferent and he takes
everything in matter-of-f way.
This spring Schultz has been out
working harder than ever before, +,
hustIing, gingering up the team and
showing what he could do. If he had
started working hard and earnestly
from the first he would rank today.
with Cobb and Collins. He may even
yet show them what he can do if he

LAMP EXPLODES AT CENTRAL OFFICE.

What might have been a disastrous
fire was narrowly averted at the Bea-
yer Telephone Compsny's central office
early Monday morning, through the
presence OF mind OF the night operator,
Miss nellie Judy, and Miss Edna
Tweedie, who rooms in the building.
An early morning ring set of the night
alarm and Miss nellie got up to answer
the call. When she awoke she found
the lamp, which was always left burn
ing during the night, seemed to be
going out She noticed the lamp still
kept flickering and finally called to
Miss Tweedie. When she came they
saw it was about to explode. Miss
Tweedie picked 1t up snd started to
throw 1t out doors but when she got to
the door found 1t locked. By this time
the lamp was in flames so she set II
down on the floor and IL had barely
left her hands until 1t exploded. BY
heroic efforts the fire was smothered
out with comforts but not until 1t had
burned the wall and floor considerably
and badly charred the office desk and
number of valuable papers which 1t
contained. 1t is the greatest good for
tune that the fire was kept under con-
troll for, had it not been for the pres
ence of mind and steady nerve OF the
girls, the central office and all its con-
tents would perhaps now be in ashes.

Don't Want I FIRE Truck.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
I see in recent issues OF your paper,
articles about the purchasing Of hre
truck and saying that the fire depart
ment was tagging in facilities. wish
to say that the present hre depart
ment has all the facilities that are
necessary for city the size Of Keo-
kuk; it would be far more essential
to change the present methods IN
vogue. ! wish to call your attention
to the old volunteer fire department
in years gone by. The city then had
about 10000 people. The department
had no horses, no paved streets, no
telephones. no water works and hook
and ladder truck. Nevertheless the
fire department did good work with
the facilities at hand at that time.
Therefore. see no absolute need for
a fire truck at the present time, and
adding an unnecessary expense on the
public. or for the sake OF gratifying
someone to see them run, as one
anonymous writer expressed himself.
