An Effective Rehuke.

Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
Is not one of the most conventional Of
monarchs and sometimes rebukes his
officials In a fashion which comes per-
ilously near a practical joke. On one
occasion the emperor sent a message to
the official who was responsible for
keeping his roads in order. stating that
in couple of days royal carriage
would be sent to convey him to the
castle Of Lainz. On the day appointed
the emperor's coachman drove the off,
cial at full gallop over the worst roads
in the district. splashing him from head
to foot in mud When he eventually
arrived at the castle he began profuse
apologies for the state Of his clothes
to the grand duke. but was met with
the prearranged reply: ''Oh. that's
nothing! The emperor comes home
like that every time he goes out for q
drive" The officials roads were soon
put in perfect order.

Result Of Wild Throw to Third With
the Bases Full.
Charley Doom, one Of the famous
catchers Of the National league, tells a
story to the effect that after a brief
trial with the st. Paul club In 1889
Charles A. Comiskey, then its manager.
advised him to return to the tailoring
business and stick to it.
Another yarn concerning Doom tells
how little later on and when he was
still little more than a youth and
weighing in the neighborhood Of lis
pounds. he wished himself upon Man
ager McKibben of the St Joseph club.
When Doom reported Mac walked
around him twice and then announced
that he wanted a catcher and not a
jockey. Injuries to regulars. however.
gave the boy his chance. and he was
sent in to backstop for big Jim"
Wigs.
In his first game Doom wanted to
prove that In addition to being a
catcher he was some thrower When
he heaved to second the baseman

ball: to third his pegs were low. and
his shoots to first nearly took the
sacker Off his feet. After his wild
throws had filled the bases in one in
ming he threw to third again to catch
runner off the cushion. The ball
went so high the left fielder almost
got to it on the fly. while Everybody
came home"
When the inning was over Doom had
four errors charged against him. and
be walked to the clubhouse and began
to pack up his clothes. McKibben
stopped him. saying his nerve in dar-
ing to throw to third to catch a man
off with the bases full. caused by his
previous bad throws. deserved another
chance. Doom stuck and caught al
most every game that season. His
next jump was to the Phillies. and his
reputation was made.-Ed A. Goewey

TWO Flags Together.
The city everywhere was decorated
for the occasion. For the first time
in many months American flags flew
beside the Mexican colors. With a
view of preventing any misunderstood
ing General Obregon caused to be post
ed throughout the city a decree threat

Ger or an enlisted man who disturbed
public order. 4s,.t

try passed, the crowds cheered The

en- the incoming army was taken by
the leaders as an augury of the sup
port which the people will give the
new government.
General Obregon reviewed the troops
from the balcony of the national pal
ace, after which the soldiers were sen
to the barracks. The whole parade
passed off in an orderly manner, be
ing disturbed only by cheers for Car
