and the Feds also head their race, but
a Sox fan would consider it treason,
under ordinary conditions, to visit
either park, though the South Siders
might be tail-ending the Johnson or
ganization.
There were never more loyal bugs
than infest in the South Side, and
they evince their loyalty by patroniz-
ing anything that wears a Sox uni
form.
Jones will be in foreign garb this
afternoon, but out on the South Side
they cont forget. Past performances
are kept fresh in mind. And those
South Side fans well remember when
Jones, with a team weaker than the
present Boston Braves, busted
through harder opposition than Stall
ings is now encountering, won pen
nant in sensational dash at the sea-
sons close and had enough energy
left to win a worlds championship
from the Cubs when the latter were
prohibitive favorites.

chanical Sox teams since, but there
wasn't any Fielder Jones to direct the
plan of campaign and get a maximum
of runs with minimum of hits.
Jones has been at the helm of the
Sloufed ship four days. His ultimate
Federal League success can't be judg-
ed in so short a time, naturally, but
notice that the St. Louis people have
fought desperately against the Chi
feds, who on paper have the much
better team.
All four games have been contests.
Two of them went 10 innings, one
was Is frames and the fourth was de-
cided by a 1-to-0 score. That shows
the Sloufeds are fighting for every
advantage, though only a few days
ago they were soft for any one who
cared to go out and give them brace

National League race. If the material
Jones now owns hasn't the necessary
gray matter he will discard it and
build team along his own lines. He
can stand for weak hitting and bad
error now and then, but his players
must think.
Erwin LANCE is the best young
pitching prospect Tinker boasts. The
former semi-pro from the local lots
still has his rough edges and can learn
something about fielding his position
on a big league diamond, but he has
the foundation to build on.
He is a much better pitcher now
than he was at the start of the sea-
son and he is of the type which is
willing to listen to suggestions and
profit by the teaching of older play
ers. Holding the Sloufeds to one run
in 13 innings was an excellent per-
Torrance. Inning after inning LANCE
toiled along, with his pals unable to
get lead to back him up. That
would get the nerve of most pitch
except the Sox, who are used to
such eart-breaking efforts-but
every attack. Seven hit were all he
every attac. Seven hits were all he
allowed and he was miser when
dangerous situations arose. He Whit
ed nine and issued three passes.
Tinker is only a single game from
the Indianapolis leaders. The big test
will come when these teams engage
shortly in an eight-game series. The
winner of this set will just about
finish on top.
The Cubs don't look much like pen
nant contenders now. They are still
but four and a half games back of
the Giants, but recent happenings do
not give much ground for hope that
the gap can be closed. With the team
shot up by inquiries, good players
are being kept on the bench while
substitutes strange to their positions
have been jammed into the fray.

How little many parents realize
what it means to let their children
grow up without learning the art OF
self-mastery. How cruel to the child.
and how dangerous to society!
The danger of an uncontrolled tenn
ner is multiplied many times by great
wealth and the multitude of tempta-
tons. and the dissipation which so
often accompanies it. Self-indulgence
would ruin the ability for self-control
even of those who are well trained,
but what of the young man who
has always been pampered, and who
scarcely knows the meaning of self
restraint?
The lack of self-control, a quick
temper and a hot tongue are fearful

which bankrupt many precious IRE.

himself to his task, under good for

troll, however great his abilities, is al
ways at the mercy of his moods and

Self-control will succeed with one
talent, while self-indulgence will fail
with ten.
Abraham Lincoln in early manhood
was quick tempered and combative;

A self controlled mind is free

No man can hope to obtain any
degree of advancement in life, in
character building or success with
out self control. 1t is the very essence
of manliness and of character.

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours

MARCH 3
Lillian Nelson
Copyrighted. 1913.

The greatest tragedienne of the
latter half of the nineteenth century
Lillian Neilson-was born on March
3, 184S. Like many another beautiful
woman who gained distinction on the
stage Lillian Nelson had none too
easy row to hoe in her early life. She
was the daughter of a poor sort of
actress named Brown and was first
known by the name Elizabeth Anne
Brown. Nothing at all was known as
to her fathers identity and her
mother soon cast Lillian off upon her
own resources. At first she worked as
a mill hand in the north of England
and later became a nurse maid. One
day she discovered in some way the
truth about her nameless birth and
this discovery so unnerved her that
she wandered to London under the
name of Lizzie Ann Bland and passed
year or so of misfortune in that
city. But she rose superior to her
cruel experiences, and while acting
as barmaid in a cheap public house
attracted attention in reciting
Shakespeare. The result was that
when she was seventeen-for she had
begun her fight with the world when
she was a mere child-she made her
debut as Juliet, assuming the stage
name of Lillian Adelaid Lessont,
which she later changed to Nelson.
She made very unhappy marriage

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How He Tried to Bring AboutResumpon of Specie Payments

The late Senator Henry L. Dawes,
who for many years represented the
Western Massachusetts district in
the lower house of Congress and aft
erward served for several terms as
United States senator, could have
been, had he been willing to listen
to hint, secretary of the treasury
in the cabinet of General Grant. For
Mr.. Dawes received an intimation
shortly after Secretary of the Treas
ury George S. Boutwell, resigned that
General Grant would be glad to APP
point him secretary. Mr.. Dawes,
however, felt that his place was in
Congress, where he had gained high
authority as chairman of committees
whose relations with the treasury de-
partment were close

which he had been the subject of our
chat.

Suddenly he received an offer of the
post of assistant secretary of the
treasury and he attributed 1t to the
earnest desire of his old friend,
George S. Boutwell,. who became
secretary of the treasury at the be-
ginning of Grants administration,
to have Richardson associated with
him.
Richardson demurred, saying that
he had had no financial training, and
was told that that was not necessary,

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

Of a natural human tendency to care
iessness and extravaganza. Teachers
complain of the spirit of prodigality
Of youth in school; business finds it's

to the cost of waste.
The estimate of the Baltimore G.
Ohio Railroad that the elimination of

ellis and so forth. on the part of the
heads of departments, clerks, agents
and ether employees in the 1000 Of
fees of the system could easily re-
suit in a saving of 100000 in the course
of a year is probably not overesti-
mated. The average saving per Of
flee asked for is only $15, and yet, in
the immensely of the business the
sum total would be well worth strik-
ing for.
The lesser proportionate saving
possible through carefulness in the
smaller business concerns of any
community would be equally worth
while, rendering percentage of re-
duced expense that would correspond
to increased earning, under the old
rule that a penny saved is a penny
earned.
Needing economy in the use of
paper, hanging on to pen while
there is good in it, getting the most
out of a pencil, curbing recklessness
with ink and blotters and typewriter
ribbon, with pins and elastic bands,
and putting mentally a worthwhile
value upon every item of desk equip
ment may seem like small business
to folks to whom lavishness stands
for success and prosperity. But it
is just the opposite of lavishness,
when lavishness is uncalled for and
so becomes waste, that success and
prosperity are built upon. Economy
in the use of supplies is getting the
most possible for the money. Sen
sible people will do that for them
selves; and IL they do not do it for
their employers they are neither SEN
sible nor conSiderate.

AS Juliet, Miss Nelson was without
rival, and her remarkable beauty,
her fascinating quality of voice, as
we'll as her generous and sympathetic
nature, made her great favorite
both in her profession and in society.
1t is said that the only obstacle that
prevented her from becoming the
wife of one of the peers of England
was the unfortunate fact of her first
marriage.
Besides the part of Juliet, in which
she was universally admired, her two
greatest parts were those of Re-

the greatest beauties of her age, in
