WOULDN'T TRUST THE GATOR
Darkey Had by No Means Lost His
Faith, But He Was Just Little
Apprehensive.

Bishop Mcdowell tells story about
a southern baptism. A colored preach
er was dipping his converts in the wa
tiers of tropical stream when one old
darkey saw a crocodile summing him
self on the oppsite bank. When his
turn came to be immersed he drew
back, casting terror-stricken eyes at
the sleeping saurian.
Whats de mattah wild yo', brud-
der" said the parson; "yo' all amt
skeered o. dat dar gator, is yo'?'
The darkey admitted frankly that
he was.
Don yo' alf member de story OBJ

Common Form of Insanity.

A party of Clevelanders entertained
some holiday visitors and having
showed them everything interesting in
Cleveland proper they had to take
them to Newburg for view of the
asylum. The superintendent was in
a genial frame of mind and he con-
Quoted the bunch personally.
Here is a queer case, ladies'" he
said, pausing at a particular cell.
This man has the delusion that he
possesses the motive power that runs
the universe. He is perfectly harm
less, but he actually believes that
without him the world would not
move. Strange notion, isn't it,"
why, not at ALI" exclaimed one OF
the women. "My husband has the
same idea and he always has had it.
Is he crazy, too?"

HEART OF YOUTH THE SAME
Joy at Receiving Valentines Today
Probably as Great as Ever in
the Past.

Elderly folk are wont to smile in
diligently when ST. Valentines day is
mentioned, and to say, with possibly
reminiscent sigh, that it is now OBJ
served only by children who hardly
know it's significance or understand
when they send gay missives back
and forth that they are celebrating
the patron saint of sweethearts. Per-
haps these elders forget that some
of these they call children" are not
younger than were. they when in
years gone by they thrilled and
smiled over the mysterious letters
with their tender messages-the lace
paper pages with embossed wreaths
Of rosebuds and gilt leaves encir-
cling sentimental rhymes; rhymes
sometimes printed, sometimes in
scribed by pen in disguised hand, for
valentines should be anonymous, leav-
ing the recipient to guess the sender's
identity. There is reason to suspect
that if the rhymes expressed an
especially loving thought, this iden
tity was seldom deeply concealed. IL
these days mere paper is not enough
to convey the message. 1t goes in
the shape of boxes Of vio,ets or of
bonbons or gifts more lasting and
valuable, and the sender takes good
care that there shall be no doubt as
to whence it comes. They do things
differently now than did the earlier
generation, but no doub: the thrill
and secret sense of satisfaction over
the attention is the same, for the
heart of youth does not vary from
age to age. -

"You fill the pals with sand, and let
me turn them out" suggested six
year-old Jack to little Doris.
His playmate obediently complied.
"Now We'll build a castle, and you
shall fetch the water to go round 1t"
exclaimed Jack.
Dutifully the little maid struggled
UP and down the beach, carrying buck
cts of water.
Cant you fetch the water now,
Jack" she suggested, "and let me pour
it round?"
Girls can't do that properly" an
swered the boy. Lets paddle. But, |
say, Doris, do you want to marry me
when you grow up?"
"Yes-oh, yes!" Doris was delighted
at the prospect.
The boy, however, assumed a bored
air, and lazily extended his feet to-
ward her.
VERY well, them" he said noncha-
lantly. "If you're going to be my

WINTER SPORTING DOPE, FROM EVERYWHERE
Rivers and Chip Arrive to Prepare for
Milwaukee Fights.

Chicago is the temporary head

both being here to prepare for Mil

Joe Rivers, the California light

Chip arrived today and -imme-

Tinker and Murphy Are SquabbIlng
Leach Signed With Cubs.

CnrOnlcnng the warfare between
Joseph Tinker and c. Webb Murphy
is becoming highly monotonous, and
we are off that stuff until one of them
stops arguing and goes to hurting
real bombs.
Murphy's latest crack against
Tinker was regarding the alleged
conduct of the Oak Park magnate
while he was manager of the Gin
cinnati Reds. Tinker has responded
with the assertion that Murphy tried
to tamper with him while he was the
property of the Brooklyn club.
This statement of Tinker's is sup
posed to expose the alleged insincer-
ity of Murphy's walls against the
Federal Leaguers tampering with his
players. .--..
This squabbIe may be highly d.
verting, but not from where we sit.
It gets no one anything, and tells us
nothing we didn't know before.
As letter writer, however, Charles
Webb makes ]. Ham Lewis resemble
poor kid trying to learn to make
his A. B. C.'s. He can tear off some
burning phrases on the slightest
provocation. It is all one to the boss
Of the Cubs.
His latest is regarding Tom Leach,
who has submitted terms for 1914,
and they have been. accepted" The
idea of Tommy submitting terms to
Murphy is not consistent with what
has happened in the past. Leach is
referred to as a man 'too smart to
join with a lot of semi-pro players
and scamper around in an outlaw or
ganization."
Murphy also says that the right
thinking American believes in the in
volatility of contracts-remember
Frank Chance and Mordecai Brown
and will have nothing to do with
people who break them.
His closing statement is the real
gem of the effusion. In that respect

POLICE SAY H|LDRETH
TRIED TO ROB HOTEL
Former Hotel Clerk Charged With
Attempting to Empty the
Cash Register.

Clarence II. Hildreth, twenty-four
years old, q roomer at 517 11th street
northwest, is held by the police on
charge of attempted grand larceny. 1t
is alleged by the police that the young
man, who had formerly been employed
in a downtown hotel, was at the hotel
this morning for the purpose or get

Charles T. Shaffer, the new clerk. was
on duty in the office about o'clock
this morning when two calls were regis
tered in the elevator, one from the
ground floor and the other from the
top floor. The elevator boy had been
sent on an errand by Hildreth.
Shaffer started the elevator downward,
but when it got between the floors
it suddenly stopped, the electric switch
on the top floor having been tampered
with. He raped on the elevator for
help, and heard footsteps on the stairs,
but nobody came to his assistance.
Shaffer Says He Saw Hildreth.
Climbing to the top of the elevator,
Shaffer got glimpse Of Hildreth, he says.

and partly covering his face. Hildreth
finally walked to the elevator and dis
cussed Shaffer's plight with the impris-
oned man.
Shaffer then set up q cry for help, and
Policeman Clay rushed from the street
to make an investigation. Hildreth, with
the towel still about his neck, was placed
under arrest. He denied that he was in
the hotel for the purpose of doing wrong.
He had been there with two roomers, he
stated, and had sent the porter from the
building to make purchase for him. and
it was shortly after the porter left the
hotel that the scene was enacted.
In conversation with Capt. Peck later
in the day, Hildreth denied that he had
any idea of tampering with the cash
register. and denied that he had operated
the electric switch.

Extensive changes in the street re-

the Commissioners even though they
decide that the Borland amendment to

property owners with half the cost of
such improvements does not apply to

against the schedule, the Commission

another year they may have to con-

plated improvements are delayed by
reason of their protests.
There was no objection to the sched-
ule prior to the adoption of the Bor-
land amendment. When this provision
was inserted in the appropriation bill
the Commissioners decided that those
who were to bear q part of the ex-
pense of street repairs should be given

out notices to the effect that protests
