Harrisburg will not be in tho Kit
tv league this year according to the
Harrisburg Daily News; The News
says:
II is with the keenest regret THAI
the Daily News today announces
that there will be no professional
base ball in Harrisburg this year.
And we candidly believe that this
will to certain extent be a black
eye for this city, iDasmuch as We
we're in the league once before and
pulled cut. The fact that Harris
burg twice entered professional base
ball and twice pulled out OF the
same does not look very encouraging
from a successful business stand
point.
This paper has done all that it
possibly could for the success of
this great national pasttime. not
because as the Chronicle says, we
did it because our city editor got
a rake.of as score keeper but We
knew that professional base ball
was an uplift and a benefit to any
growing city. If our contemporary
can now get any satisfaction out OF
our failure to put base bail mere
again this year. they are welcome TO
that praise and pleasure. its about
tho only question we have any
knowledge of that they were sue
cessful in.
And it looks bad, too, upon the
part OF Harrisburg, that we did not
remain in the league. To have
placed US in the Kitty league this
year with a winning club would
have necessitated an outlay OF
$4,000. At business meeting OF
the Commercial Club held here some
time ago, Mr.. Schott and Mr.. Par
| ish informed the gentlemen that 1t
Iiwould be necessary to sell thirty
shares at 500. Both Mr.. Sehott
and Mr.. Parish agreed to purchase
FIVE share each and Will G. White
agreed to purchase two shares. This
left only eighteen shares to dispose
of and we are sorry to state that
not another share could be sold.
The Daily News next attempted to
make up a donation sufficient TO
induce Mcssrs. Sehott and Parish to
put the thing over and we failed
| dismally. The forfeit money must
be posted before the first Of Marc1
and in conversation with Will II.
Parish this morning, that gentle
man informed us that it now ap-
pcared az a hopeless task to put tAc
proposition over. Hence the decls-
ion to drop 1t.

Chronicle and all those opposed to
baseball to rejoice. The question

Helping the Poet.

Longfellow. the great poet. was not
ed for his fondness for children. and
this extended to all little folks. wheth-
er of his family or not. There was one
little boy of whom he was very fond
and who came often to see him. One
day the child looked earnestly at the
long row Of books in the library and
at length asked, Have you Jack
the Giant Killer?'" Longfellow was
obliged to confess that his great library
did not contain that venerated volume.
The little fellow looked very sorry and
presently slipped down from the poets
knee and went away. But the next
morning Longfellow saw him coming
up the walk with something tightly
clasped in his little fists. The child
had brought cents with which Long
fellow was to buy "Jack the Giant
Killer" Of his own.

American Restaurants.

terest in the service Touching the lat
ter defect the waiter is not impolite;
he is not neglectfuI. But he is too often
passively hostile. or at best neutral.
He. or his chief, has apparently not
grasped the fact that buying a meal is
not like buying ton Of coal. If the pur-
chaser is to get value for his money be
must enjoy his meal. and if he is to en-
Joy his meal it must not merely be eff,

is to create this atmosphere. True. that

Napoleon and Tobacco.

Napoleon. who tried to smoke once
and then with dire results, instituted
the French tobacco monopoly. which
the German government now proposes
to adopt so far as cigarettes are con-
cerned. At court function held early
in 1910 the emperor remarked lady
wearing jewels of such magnifcence
that be inquired how her husband
made his money. HE is tobacco
merchant" was the reply, which led
him to seek further information as to
such profitable business. Before the
year expired Napoleon issued a decree
restricting the sale and manufacture
of tobacco exclusively to the state. 1t
has remained monopoly ever since
and for many years past has brought
in an annual revenue Of over $SO,0OO.-
