Walsh, the first trip he has made
this season. If warm weather is en-
countered in some of the eastern
cities the Big Reel will try out his
arm, and discover if he is still the
same old puzzle. to big league bats
men. Before leaving Walsh declared
that he felt in excellent condition,
and was confident of having a good
season after he started.
SchaIk is still unable to take his
regular. place behind the bat, and
Mayer and Kuhn will divide the re-
ceiving work.
On the form he showed yesterday
when pitching his team to victory
over the Chifeds, MOrdecai Brown
would be a mighty valuable man on
the Cub pitching staff under present
conditions.
Brownie faItered in the second in
ming, four hits and a pass giving the
locals four runs. But from then to
the finish the old star pitched with
all his craft, and successfully fought
the locals away from the plate. His
hook broke with battling speed, and
the corners on the plate were all dis
covered by the puzzling shoots.
Again in the ninth the veteran Stun
bled and filled the bases, but got out
of the hole without being scored on.
After getting out Of the second-in-
ming hole Brownie was hit safely but
twice. He did not look like a candi-
date for the minors.
Claude Hendrix pitched nobly, but
could not keep the hits scattered.
Both pitchers received excellent sup
port, and lightning stops and throws
featured the battle.

WHAT 90 YOU SEE IN oTHERs7


THE image of God is In the lowliest
outcast, and we can find 1t II we look
for II and be a neighbor Of that man."
says Jacob A. Riis.
One of the finest fruits Of culture is
the power to see the man or woman
whom God made in his own image
and not the M who is SCARED by
faults and deficiencies, the one who is
dwarfed by vicious living. It is only
the generous. loving soul who ever
attains to this degree of culture.
Most Of US are inclined to Judge peo-
pie too much by their mean traits, by
their mistakes, their shortcomings,
their pe~culiarities. It is only the
broad, charitable. great.hearted mar
or woman who is blind to the defects
Of others and always ready to enlarge
upon their good qualities. They real
lie the truth that there is a God in the
meanest of men, q philanthropist In
the stingiest miser. o hero in the big.

great enough might call out.
A fault-finding, criticizing disposi-
ton is fatal to all excellence. Moth.

PhIIosonhx FOR the pax.

1T is an optical Illusion that makes
the task at hand seem commonplace,
the far off significant. The mountains
neal by appear rocks and stubble
fields; in the distance they are clothed
with blue beauty, majestically out
lined against the sky. Similarly, we
see about us the prosaic details of
life, while in far of times great deeds
and lives appear splendidly outlined
against the gray horizon Of the past.
So we are apt to think that II we
had but been born In some distant
time and place. we, too, would have
lived heroically to the great causes
then challenging men. How gladly
would we have died at Thermopylae,
fought at Bunker Hill, shared the pris-
on of Socrates or stood with Bruno at
the stake! Illusion-sheer illusion of
time and place! Life has always been
commonplace to commonplace people;
1t has been sublime only when men
have lived sublimely."-"Solt-C Culture

Howard Greggs.

selves.
A charming woman who was re-
Gently asked how she managed to get
along so we'll with disagreeable PEG
pie said: "It is very simple. All Ia
Is to try to make the most Of theiA
good qualities and pay no attention
to the d~isagreeable ones" The people
who help us most are those who, like
this woman, ignore, or. rather. try to
eradicate our faults, by drawing out
and emphasizing our better qualities
and attuning our minds to high
ideals.
We are all OF us constantly, but
unconsciously, molding others by our
thoughts about them. The qualities
you see In your friend and those with
whom You come in contact you tend
to enlarge. If you see only the little,
mean, contemplate side Of people
you cannot help them out Of their
faults, for you only intensity and fix
them; but II you see the good, the
noble, the aspiring traits in them,
you will help to develop these quail
ties until they crowd out the base.
unworthy ones.
An opportunity to associate with
people who see the best instead Of the.
worst in us is worth far. far more
to us than an opportunity to make
money. 1t increases q hundredfold
our power to develop noble charac-
tiers.
Whenever you hear a person trying
to belittle another. discard him from
your list of friends. unless you a
help him to remedy his fault. Do not
flatter yourself that those. who tell
you Of the failings Of other people
and criticize them and hold them up
to ridicule, will not treat you in the
same way when an opportunity pre-
sents itself. Such people are incapa-
BILE Of true friendship. for true friend
ship helps, instead of hinders; 1t new
er exposes the weak point in a friends
character. or suffers anyone to speak
Ill Of him.
The disposition to see the worst
instead of the best grows on n very
rapidly, until it ultimately s%trangles
all that is beautiful and brushes out
all that is good in us. No matter how
many times your confidence has been
betrayed, do not allow yourself to
sour, do not lose your faith in people.
The bad are the exceptions; most
people are honest and true and mean
to do what is right. When everybody
else denounces and curses a man,
charity says: wait, wait, there is a
God in that man somewhere" and
this is what we want to see in men,
the God image in them, not the sa-
tanic reflection.

DOCTORS HAVE NEW LIGHT.

DOCTORS HAVE NEW LIGHT.
A common argument of the liquor
interests may be put in the form OF
q syllogism. thus:
Major premise: The demand for an
occasional stimulant is instructive in
human nature. Minor premise: Alco-
hol Is a stimulant. Conclusion: Alco-
holic drinks supply a natural demand.
Granting the first premise to be
sound-which we do not grant-the
second premise is glaringly untrue.
Latest findings of medical science
have proved that alcohol is not a slim
ulant as once believed, but q depres-
SAINT. There is expert testimony in
abundance to this effect. We quote
here from w. A. Chapple, M. D., M. R.
C. s., Phi. D., and member Of parlia-
ment:
we know that alcohol stimulates
nothing except disease and the suscep-
tibility to 1t. We know one of the
first nerve centers to fall under its
paralyzing influence is the vaso-motor
center in the brain. What happens Is
all you see and a lot you don't see.
The face Pushes because the vessels
dilate and engorge. But you only see
1t in the face because these vessels
are so delicate everywhere--in the
brain, the liver, the kidneys, all the
vital organs. which suffer in conse-
quence. And the heart beats faster.
1t beats faster because its controlling
mechanism has been paralyzed. It
has not been stimulated any more
than the horse has been stimulated by
cutting its reins. We see, therefore,
how, till quite recently, doctors have
been deceived. Wine is a mocker!
But 1t need mock no longer. Apply
the teaching Of experience, Of science
and Of the Bible-all attest that in
the end 1t 'biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder"
