The Catholic layman who Is truly
worthy of the name is one who
knows and confesses and practically
recognizes that true nobility OF
character is justice crystallized, and
that success is duty done ef-
fectively and valiantly. Such a man
habituates himself to untirinR
fidelity to obscure duties no less
than to duties that are conspicuous.
He is calm and bright and self
possessed amid the heat and dust
and turmoil of everyday life. He is
content with the commentator OF
the Almighty. He can not find II
In his heart to harbor malice, re-
sentiment or vindictiveness. Though
envious calumny may sometimes tip
the tongues and pens Of others in
his regard, he does not retaliate in
kind. In his living he is upright
and unsullied. In his thinking he
Is accurate, careful and sufficiently
Independent to let people know that
he has a mind and will of his own.

to impart II to others. II he has
wealth, he is truly charitable to the
poor for Gods sake-not to blazon
his name upon his contributions nor

satisfaction to proclaim to the
gaping multitudes that earth is
heaven. IL he is man in public

and never-failing sense of fairness,

EMPEROR WILLIAM.

The character of Emperor William
is not a mystery but an open book.
The principal characteristic that
binds the people of Germany to
their leader and ruler is his sin
certify. When he tells his people
anything concerning the Government
they accept it with implicit conf
dence, a confidence which he seems
to have never betrayed. When self
government takes the place OF
monarchial government no ruler will
be more heartily and unanimously
elected to preside at the head of the
Government than the Emperor of
Germany. 1t is well for Americans
to know and remember these facts,
for in case men prominently con-
nected with the European conflict
speak the sincerity and trustworthi-
ness should be taken into considera-
ton. This information does not
come from a German source, but
from a neutral American viewpoint.
It is given by an American who ear
nestly favors equal justice toward
all Municipalities.

PAT AND HIS AIM.

Pat was a witty young recruit,

The squad had finished firing. Pat
was brought to task for his poor
shooting, and told that he must do
better at the next distance; there
were to be seven rounds of quick
firing.
"Now. Pat" the Sergeant told
him. Sire at target number five

A TRIAL WILL CONVINCE ANY CINE THE GREAT KIDNEY

A few years ago was troubled with a, complication of kidney and stomach ailments and although I tried two or three different doctors, I was unable to obtain a. cure Having heard a great deal about Swamp Root, de- cided to give it a trial and purchased 8 one-doiIar bottle of MT. Alexander, the druggist. From the beginning could notice q change for the better and after taking eight bottles of your medicine, felt entirely cured and have not had any trouble since. Had I began using Swannp-Root sooner, would have been a few hum dred dollars to the good and saved myself a lot of suffering.

It was lucky for Mir. Gonna fly that he worked under the Stallings system, for the Big Chief allowed him to bat only I5 times against the port-a Iders of the league.
 Gathers and Mann, the chaps who were called into service when Rube Marquard or any of his ills were on the firing line, proved beyond a doubt that they could swat the crooked and perverse curves of the Sons of Gibean to the four winds. Gathers normal batting average is .2S4, but when on a diet of Ieft-handed curves and shoots, he bangs the pill at the rate of .322. Mann also loves to toy with the offer ings of those left-handed fellows. and he hits like a hend when fac1ng them. Tn the 96 times he had the pleasure of stepping to the plate with a south paw on the mound he raipsped the ball 2S times for safe drives, arl average of .291 his regular gait is ..24S against all kinds of hurlers

WORRIED BRAVES
After They Got Going Good All Pitch
 CTS Looked Alike to StaIIings' Men.
LEFT-HANpERs


 Many baseball writers claim that Connie Mack showed poor f1nessing when he didn't send in his left-hand- CTS to baffie the batsrnen of the Bos- ton Braves in the big series. Why didn't he use them when he found that MT. Plank had the men of Stall ings foiled-that is, almost foiIed? The writers based their claims from the fact that the Braves, including Hank Gowdy were very weak against south paw fingers, and that Messrs. Plank and Pennock had them all fussed up.
 Weak at Start.
 It is true that the Braves showed poor form when facing left-handers from the opening period until they be- gan their march through and over every team-and not for a moment forgetting MT. McGraw's Giants-in the National league. In the first two months of the race the Braves faced southpaw pitching in some 1o games. and only won three of them. This would indicate they could not hit the southpawing of such men as Marquard Benton, Sallee, Vaughan, Cooper and Fucker.
 The hurling of Rube Benton was especially hard for the Braves to solve If they had to face such pitching as Benton served to them two or three times a week. there would have been no actors from the camp of StaIlings this winter. In the four games in which Benton hurled against Boston they succeeded in making Is base hits off the Cincinnati ieft-hander.
 The batsmen of Stallings were at bat 1889 times during the entire sea son against left handed pitching and made 231- hits, batting average of PIP, which is about 50 points below their total average for the season. When the Braves began their tri- urnphant march pennantward left handlers were swept out of their path with about as much gusto as their right-handed brethren. In fact, when a baseball team gets into a champion ship groove and running amuck. all pitchers look alike.
 Turn the Tables.
 From about the middle of July the Braves faced portsiders in 22 of their games, tasting defeat just six times out of this number. In the 40 games in which they dallied with the curves of those troublesome chaps during the en- tire season the Braves won Is and lost IT games, one tie. and the balance were decided by some right handler.

Boston, Dec. 16.-Cne- story stands capable of seating ap proximately 45 600 spectators will be built at the Bos- ton National league clubs new base ball park in the AllaIton district In making public his p1a ms today, Presi- dent James E. Gaiffney said the grounds would be cd instructed some thing. after the manner of the Yale bowl. The base of the stands will be placed F feet below the street level, making possible the addition at some future time of a second story which will not be too high above the playing field. MT. Gaffney said he believed the time was coming when a doubIe-deck stand capable of seating 60;0O0 persons would be needed The entire stand, including the bleachers will be of ce- ment.
 MT. Gaffney has had assurances from President J. J. IIannfn of the American league club that. the Braves will be allowed the use of 5Fenway Park until the new plant is ready.
 It7is expected, that construction will be finished about July 1. The playing field will be larger than that of Fen way Park

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET HEAVY AND NARROW.
With Pronounced Decrease in. the Vol,
 ume of Trading.

New York, Dec. 16.-Tae most sig hificant feature of today's heavy and narrow market was the pronounced decrease in the volume of trading, Only at rare intervals was there any degree of activity and that usually at the expense of values.
 Until the closing hour, when the sagging tendency became more mani fest, prices alternately ranged slight Iy above or below the previous days close. In the final dealings moderate offerings brought about another re- and other favorites making new low prices for the current movement.
 United States Steel common and preferred were in this class, together with Union and Southern Pacific, Great Northern preferred, Northern Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Ameri- can Smelling. In addition, four oth- CT stocks of varying importance Louisville and Nashville Southern Railway, Mexican Petroleum and Re public Steel preferred-fen to the minimum level still enforced by the the end of the session were among such issues as Central Leather and American Beet Sugar while other stocks under "pooF' control bore evil dence of manipulation.
 Foreign news played a part in the
 
 naVy's activities in the North sea be- ing received with some apprehension and giving rise to fears of further European selling. More offerings of Americans for English and German in- terests were reported, but their volume was believed to be small
 Some comfort was found in the foreign trade figures, exports from this port for November showing a gain of almost $44,500,000 over the same month last year. Exchange markets reflected little change in con- dltions between this center and Lon don, while marks held steady.
 Tn the steel trade an increase of buying for tn coming year was the sole feature, but immediate business continued at 3, virtual standstill, aside from small equipment orders. Some inquiry for copper for domestic use was noted.

Paul ReVere's famous ride will be covered by the motorists who partici- pate in the annual meeting of the American Automobile association, to be held in Boston in May next A mail vote of the entire directorate almost unanimously decided for a spring in- stead of a winter meeting. and so it was that the A. A. A. executive board at it's December session in Washington D. C., with President John A. Wilson in the chair, decided to postpone the big meeting until May HIS At that time of the year the main highways in most Of the states are in traversa ble condition, and it has long been the opinion of leading A A. A. members that the annual gathering should be one to which the members could tour over the road.
 Massachusetts is one of the few states which have established compre- hensIve highway systems, and for many the journey will also include New York, New Jersey and Counecti- cut. all of which have arrived at a uniform method of procedure Ohio is another state buSily at work upon a main market road system, and all around it is expected that the motor ists will add greatly to their road building ideas en-route to the annual convention, one part of which will be devoted to highway matters
 Boston and vicinity supply a great quantity of places of historic interest, and the modern presentation of the Revolutionary ride from Charleston to Cambridge, to Concord and Lexfng- ton will be started by signal from the old North church.
 At the conclusion of the Boston meeting it is quite probable that a. party of ranscontinentalists will start for the Panama-Pacific Exposition in san Franciso. for several A. A.

in use on farms and l.7 per cent. in mules and other draft animals, mak- ing a total of 24,000,0 900 in use on farms alone.
 A realization of now little inroad the truck has already made is borne in upon us when we consider the follow ing figures: From 1908 until the pres ent time inclusive, there has been pro- duced in the United States. approxi- mately 1S0,000 commercial ears; 100, GOO to 125,000 of these are probably now in use. On an average. counting all sized vehicles, these do not displace more than three horses each, or a total number of horses displaced of not over 315,O0O. When this number is com pared to the total number of horses and draft animals in use, 26,00,000 it is found that commercial cars have in reality displaced less than Is per cent, and even taking into consider ation the mOtor-driven farm tractor, the possible field still not covered is fully 9S per cent.
 For purposes of distinction he class es all motor haulage as either trans fer" or delivery" and says: By trans fer Is meant the movement of maxi mum loads from one point directly to a destination without lessening the load, such as the transfer from farm or factories to railroads or steamships from mine to shelter, from stores to distributing points, etc. This class of haulage has been developed by the large truck 10 a high state of eff ciency, but the average of even this clas of load has been shown to be in the neighborhood of but 4.500 pounds.
 By delivery is meant distribution of goods to numerous consignees in which case there is an ever diminish ing load upon the vehicle, and almost at not time does it carry it's maximum This is the field for the medium and small sized truck, and embraces from 15 to so per cent. by volume of all merchandise transportation. Trans fer includes the raw product, while delivery concerns itself usually with the finished product. The total ton mage handled is practically the same, but the volume is vastly greater. the finished product as a rule occupying many times the space of the raw ma terial. This necessitates a large mum = Der of delivery vehicles of large vol tune but small load capacity, as com pared to those required to handle the unfinished product.
 Many estimates have been made as to the proportion of the total .haulage which comes within the field of the medium and small truck. These figures variously estimate that from 75 to so per cent of all merchandise transpor- tation, aside from that cared for by steamships and railroads. can be han died by the smaller vehicle. leaving but 20 to 25 per cent for the large truck. Yet the production of vehicles has until recently been almost in in- verse ratio
