Among the many anecdotes told of

from Hagliche Rundschau is one of
the most amusing:
In a place where Scheffel once lived
there was lack Of good drinking
water. One day we'll driver in the
neighborhood proposed that the poet
allow him to drive deep we'll for
him. Scheffel accepted his offer, but
only on the condition that after the
water had been drawn it be found
drinkable. The we'll driver completed
his work, but all that the pump would
deliver was thick yellow liquid; so
the poet refused to pay for the work.
Finally the matter was brought be.

driver stood side by side before the
Judge to present their respective
cases. Both argued their sides so

puzzled to know which was actually
right in the matter
AT length. weary of the affair, Schef-
fel said: We'll. I'll give in, and pay
for the we'll and the court expenses,
too-but on one condition. My op-
ponent shall, before our eyes, take a
drink of the water from the we'll in

his hip pocket flask of dirty yellow
water, and after extracting the cork,
passed it over to the well driver. One
glance was enough. He thrust the
bottle aside with disguised look, and

When he was gone Lily Norton sank
back in her chair and gave way to
passionate grief. Everyone who knew
the quiet, self-restrained girl would
have been amazed at the violence of
her grief.
She knew that Mervyn Ferrand
meant to play false with her, now that
he had obtained the legacy. He had
deceived her into thinking he cared,

The months sped by, and, before the

They were such dreams as lovers
have, those visions that he recounted.
And Lily, who had become as deeply
attached to the young lawyer as he
was to her, agreed to marry him on
the day when the year came to a
close.
There was another formality to be

ORIGIN Of BASEBALL
Gloves DESCRIBED
First Mitt Made of Bent
Metal and Leather, Says
dad" Phillips
PLAYED YEARS AGO
WITH DAD" SPALDING

Dad Phillips, who is employed as
binder by the Leland Stanford Uni
versity Press, near San Francisco,
claims to have seen the first finger
mitt ever used in a baseball game.
over forty years ago. Dad says, he
played on the same team with A. G..
Spalding at Rockford, ILL.,, and tells
of the origin of the mitt as follows:
"In one Of the games that our Rock
ford squad played we were attracted
by the sound of the ball as it clapped
into the hands OF the man on first
base for our opponents. OF course,
none of us wore mitts In those days,
and We never thought such a thing
would be practical. But this man on
first base always caught the ball with
a loud pop, and several of us no.
ticed it, though We could see nothing
unusual about his hands.
However, after he caught the ball
each time, he pressed something into
his left hand. After the game Spald-
ing and I went over to see what he
had in his hand After some protest
he showed us. II was nothing but a
piece of bent metal around which he
had sewed some leather. It seemed he
had injured his hand, and did not
want to be kept out of the game,
which was for the championship of
the State. So he had made this mitt.'
