Defeat That Was Victory.

One hundred years ago the cele-
brated American privateer General
Armstrong" in command Of Capt,
Samuel C. Reid, ran the blockade OF
British warships of Sandy Hook and
put to sea on what was destined to
be her last voyage. The ship arrived
at the island Of Fayal, in the Azores,
and soon afterward three British war
ships entered the bay. After fruit,
less effort to escape, Captain Reid
cleared his decks for action. The Brit

time were beaten of with heavy loss.1'
Finally the British vessels closed in;

of the same league. This is the third
hitless game of the Northern league

scoring eight home runs. Three play

For l am alone.

How often have we heard the
words: Love is of mans life thing
apart; it's woman's whole existence"
While sentiment is supposed to appeal
more subtly to the fair sex than to
man, the notion that love is the pivot
of woman's existence is very much
strained. Once in awhile, a woman
can be found who broods so constant;
~ over a lost love that nursing it be-
comes second nature to her. In short.
she makes a pet Of it, as 1t were. Sne
makes no effort to forget.
Men are generally built on different
lines. 1t is mistake to think they
cannot love as deeply, fondly, intense
ly, as womankind. II anything hap
pens to thwart his hopes the average
man has no time to sit down and fold
his hands. His struggle for daily bread
forces him to be hustler; to put his
every thought, all Of his energy into
his occupation. When he goes TO MS
home, after his days work in office
factory or shop, the loneliness is so
oppressive that he hurries out to tho
street, mingling with the throng. He
is sure to meet at least one friend,
who is as forlorn as himself. They
fraternize at once, form a silent CO.
partnership, intuitively the object OF
which is to make each other forget;
be so companionable, the one to the
other, that the encouragement which
ever hovers over loneliness shall %
banished. They walk around, see the
sights, and become interested In dill
ferent pursuits. There is no time LOT
brooding or signing for what might
have been. Such men get to their
lodgings at a late hour and so "a
tigued that tired nature soon asserts
herself, giving balmy sleep.
If a man should give himself up to
signing, moaning, thinking OF a lost
love, he would be weaker than wom-
In his efforts to forget. A man forms
an ideal, early in life, Of the kind OF
woman no will love. and passes oy
scores Of girls, beautiful, fascinating
attractive, who do not fill the realiza'
ton Of his love-dream. Where there
is one woman to be found who Is
equally level-headed, in this regard
there are others who cling blindly to
the Imagination that the first man VINO
crosses their path and appears inter-
ested in them is the right one. IN
reality he was intended for some other
woman. They grieve over their loss'
refusing to be comforted. II women
would but reason this out, they
wouldn't waste their lives in unnec-
essary repinings. 1t is just as easy
for them to forget in time as II ls
for a man, If they would only race
the situation sensibly.

RuIe Does Not Hold.

The first decision under the ruling

ion calling runners out at third when
touched by a coacher does not hold If

came in a recent Athletic-Tiger &C.
ries at Philadelphia. After smuggling
the sphere out Of the lot, which is

to do, Moriarty, who happened to be
coaching at third stepped over and
congratulated Sam with hearty hand

up the claim that the batter, under
the rule that a coacher must not touch
the base runner, was out. Umpire
Chill overruled the contention, hold
ing that the ball had been batted out

clerk and his pretty, trusting young
bride begin housekeeping economical
-ly, and are content with their lot and
each other. The girl is young, and,
working for the man she loves is a
delight to her. Her young husband
earns barely enough to pay expenses;
but neither see in that fact reason
for anxiety. The pretty wedding
dresses may last a second season or
third and with careful turning and
mending, little longer.
But when they are worn past all
repair and there is not the wherewith
to buy new ones, save and skimp from
the living expenses as she may, the
young wife breads to accompany her
husband out for walk of an evening
He gradually gets into the habit of
taking his promenades alone. She
has their frugal dinner. hot and ap-
petizing, ready when he returns. The
husband who has passed so many
maidens by in their fluttering white
dresses, berlbboned curls and floating
sashes looks at the wife who greets
his view with a frown instead of a
smile. He sees a hot-faced, tired,
creature, in faded jacket and skirt, a
begrimed bingham work apron tied
about her ample waist. 1t does not
improve her temper to hear of the
nice looking girls who would have
flirted with him had he encouraged
them. She retorts bitterly: 81 could
look as we'll as they If had married
a man who earned enough to buy me
clothes like theirs!"
Il could have saved II l hadn't been
foolish enough to marry!" he declares,
jumping up from the table, making
out of the room, slamming the door
after him.

All day long she gives herself up to a

tears and lamentations. War is re-
newedts and waged day after day.
Swollen, tear-stained eyes and face
grow irksome to him; so do the old
fashioned, tattered, begrimed work

ment for personal adornment, nor the
heart to fix up even if she had the
time. One thought has fixed itself in
her mind-her husband does not love
her. His daily sneers and angry
words tell her that. Their lives are
like thousands of their class Hus-
bands and wives drift apart. Whose
fault Is it?
Oh, husbands! You whose wives
have begun to look commonplace IN
your eyes, pause and think. You have
