tieth game and was promptly present
ed with a bank draft for $1,000. His
first act was to hunt up a bank. where
he opened an account under a name
which did not sound In the least like
Hogan. This was arranged after a
five minute interview with the presi-
dent of the bank. who remained in a
brown study for half an hour after his
visitor had departed.
Under the new name Hogan had is
sued to himself and payable to his or
der a certified check for $500, which
he carried away with him. That night
he spent two hours in composing a
letter, destroying several copies before
he produced n to his liking. AS it
was short we introduce it here as Ex-
hibit A for the defense. the Ponies
versus Hogan. Charge. parsimony.
My Dear Father-I told you that you
would not hear from me until L had made
good. Enclosed you will find a certified
check to my order for $500. Every cent
of this money I have earned with my own
h~ands-earned honestly. You said some
thing about sweating for my foolishness.
1 assure you l ave sweated for every
dollar of this money.
I have been pitching baseball for the
- team in the National league. If you
will look up the scores in the files Of the
| papers out there you will see that a fell
low named Hogan has been winning a lot
Of games for the Ponies. That's me.

earned. You simply said | had to earn

proposition. You would have lone the
same thing yourself. AS for saving MONEY
and being economical-you won't believe
this. but it's true-I had to punch a fell
, low the other day for calling me a tight
wad. He told the truth at that.
In addition to this. l van to say that l
have been doing a lot of thinking the past
six months, and l can see what a. fool l
made of myself. don't see how you
stood it so long. That's honest. This is

fully, YOUR SON.
p. S.-Don't fail to return this check.
1t isn't all the money 1 have, but losing
it would put an awful crimp in the bank
roll. I had an idea you'd like to see 1t
and feel of it and smell it because it's
the first real money I've ever ~earned-and
sweated for.
When five days later the Ponies ar
rived in Chicago the clerk handed HO-
gan a whole fstful of kilograms. and
he carried them to his room at once.
Perhaps he choked a bit as he read
them. 1t would have been no disgrace
# he had.
That week Monk Lawson got his
answer.
"No more baseball after this sea-
son." said Hogan. eft is out Of the
question"
Monk argued for three days and
then gave up in despair.
The Ponies finished the league sched.
ule at home. and Hogan pitched and
won the last game.

In the clubhouse after the game they
skylarked about in boyish glee, cele-
brating the end Of the years work.
John J. Hogan. clad in a crash towel,
came in from the shower room, waited
for a chink OF silence in the racket,
found it and lifted up his voice.
Boys said he, Pm going to give a
dinner tonight down at the Argyle to
as many of you fellows as care to
come. l won't be with you next sea-
son. and probably l won't see you all
together again"
There was an %astounded silence
The players looked at each other and
wondered if they had heard Alright.
Hogan was proposing to spend some
money, and at the Argyle, the most
expensive, therefore the most exclu-
sive, place in the city-Hogan. who
hadn't bought so much as a round OF
drinks all season long.
"It will be a little surprise part"
said Hogan earnestly. I'D Ike q,
have you all there"
There was a V movement Of
the men on the benches in front Of
the lockers. Not one of them cared to
accept Hogan's hospitality; but. on the
other hand. none cared to offer the di-
rect insult of open refusal. McCarter

walked over to him and offered his

earning less money in a year than it was
his habit to spend in the course of an
evening. It is rumored that several young
women of the exclusive set are mourning
young Chatterton's disappearance
"Oh, rats. The rest is all about his
love affairs. What a tight old guy that
Chatterton must be! All the boy did
was to put some of the old mans

Hogan had slapped McCarter's face
slapped it hard-and then as McCarter
leaped to his feet and put up his hands
Hogan had knocked him, fat with a
right swing to the nose-a very unhan'

can think anything you like about me

After that Hogan's life with the

From the beginning Hogan had been
somewhat of a mystery. The para
graphers, who love to delve into the
past of every recruit. had been forced
to accept Il bare statement that he
came from the west somewhere-and
, that might have been any town be-
tween San Diego and Nome.
When Hogan began to pitch and his
remarkable jump ball attained a repu-
tation several scouts on the trail of
will-o'-the-wisp contract jumpers made
it their business to take Il good look
at Monk Lawson's find. but not one of
them was able to state that he had

FOREST FIRES ruin COUNTRY'S SOILS
Government Experts Declare Lands.
Particularly in the South, Are
Being Badly Damaged,

WASHINGTON.-A definite rela-
ton between the amount of humus,
Or vegetable matter, in the soil and
its crop-producing power is shown
by yields of corn is given in figures
just issued by the department of ag-
riculture. The department therefore
advocates the use of various methods
to introduce the required humus into
the soil.
Experts of the forest service state
that the soils of the whole country,
and particularly of the South, have
lost and are losing immense amounts
of this source of soil fertility through
forest fires, which apparently do little
immediate damage, but rob the soil
of accumulations of humus. In many
parts of the South land is b icing clear
ed for farming, and where such for
est land has not been burned there is
a large percentage of vegetable mat
ter, which provides considerable fer
tility and a good texture.
Moreover, this soil has a greater
capacity to absorb and retain moist
ure, and thus is less likely to be
washed and quilted under heavy
rains. For these reasons, leaving out
of account the damage to standing
timber, the departments authorities
are agreed that fire should be rig
idly kept out of woodlands.

A REMARKABLE CAREER
CREPT TO SCHOOL ON KNEES;
is NOW WORTH 100000.
Jimmie BOoher Was Once Crippled
Pencil Peddler. Oil Boom Fol-
lowed Profitable Crops.

CLEVELAND, Okla.-Persons who
travelled on railroad trains in the pio-
neer days of Oklahoma recall Jimmie
Booher, who rode from station to
station selling lead pencils and shoe
strings. He was not in the employ
ment of a news company, but was
permitted aboard trains because of
his physical infrmities.
Booher was an optimist morning,
noon and night. He smiled all the
time. He could cure an average case
of blues in minute. Men bought
some of his sunshine when they
bought his lead pencils and his shoe
strings.
But Jimmie Booher had endured
misfortunes that would have broken
most men. He was born at Odessa,
Mo. When he was a child his hands
and limbs became twisted and bent
until he was unable to walk. His
father died and his mother married
second time The new father
brought his own children into the
family.
On His Knees to School.
Jimmie Booher felt he was in the
way, and determined to support him
self. He was unable to walk. On
his hands and knees he crawled to
the district school, The stones and
thorns cut his hands and knees until
they bled The boy made knees from
tomato cans. In time he got crutches
and learned to use them.
Jimmie Booher never lost hope.
Every day he grew more confident
that he would win, somewhere and
somehow.
When PaWnee county was opened
to homesteaders Booher came to
Oklahoma and settled on 16O-acre
claim, four miles southeast of Cleve-
land. He was miserably poor, and
unable to perform manual labor. But
he was not daunted.
Then Came an Oil Gusher.
With his earnings from the sale of
lead pencils, ETC., he was able to hire
neighbors to put his land into Guilt
walton, little at a time. When he
got a patent on his land he borrowed
