A DARING BASE RUNNER.
One of the Desperate and Winning
Chances Mike Kelly Took.

Hugh s Fullerton. the baseball writ
er for the. American Magazine tells
a story about Mike Kelly. the IA
nous player of Boston and Chicago, a
generation ago, as follows:
If believe the most desperate and
brilliant bit OF base running | ever
witnessed and the climax of taking
chances was by Kelly. The score was
a tie late in the game. Runners were
on second and third bases, one out,
and the opposing indeld was drawn
in to cut OFF the runner from the plate
Kelly was the man on second. As
the ball was pitched Kelly was on n
run at top speed toward third. The
ball was hit sharply to the shortstop,
who scooped it perfectly and threw
home. The runner going from third
slid desperately toward the pate,
where the catcher was waiting. Kelly
had rounded third base at top speed
and was coming up the path behind
the other runner. screeching Look out
for Kel. ut the top Of his voice.
"As the runner from third slid be-
hind the plate. trying TO get past the
catcher. he was tagged out. but before
the catcher could touch him and dive
back Ia project the plate Kelly slid in
front Of the rubber lodged under the
catcher and scored the winning run

TRUE HAPPlNES
II Enables Man "to Draw contentment
From a Cup of Tears"


Wordsworth in one OF his poems
speaks of "a man too happy for mortal
ity." We sometimes forget the spiritual
significance of joy. The stoics believed
that happiness was not essential to
man and not to be expected. Happiness
of a specific kind, based upon good
fortunate to the individual. is indeed
not always to be expected nor always
to be desired. But the deeper hap
piness and joy that come from the
sure triumph of the good and the true
are essential to the individual well be-
ing and the progress Of society.
There have been those who learned
through beautiful conservation ito
draw contentment from cup of
tears" and who came, through LIES
higher discipline, to know that there
is deep and abiding joy in the midst
Of pain and Disappointment. a joy built
upon the knowledge of life's greatness
and the ability of the soul to rise above
the temporary thing.
Such a joy as this is needed to make
a man capable of inheriting eternity
here and hereafter, for it raises man
above the merely mortal and invests
him with energy to pursue the tasks
that are without end and fills him
with a desire to ally himself with the
powers that build the beauty of con
tinuing world.-St. Paul Pioneer Press

FLIMSY GOLD LEAF.
It Would Take 10000 Sheets to Make
Pile an Inch High.

Gold beating is one Of the oldest
done entirely by hand The leaf is
hammered out in small home work
shops from twenty-four carat gold, but
is first sent to the rolling mills. whence
it is returned in long, thin ribbons
one and quarter inches wide and a
thousandth part of an inch in thick
ness. Then it is ready for the beater.
The ribbon is generally cut off into
small ia inch squares, weighing
about six grains,
The thin square is placed in the CEN
ter of 4 vegetable parchment pad, con-
sisting OF 700 sheets on top and the
same number beneath. This is beaten
with fourteen pound hammer, and
the gold. when considerably reduced in
thickness, is placed between leaves OF
goldbeater's skin-skin prepared from
a thin bat tough membrane found in
the large intestine Of the OK.
Eight hundred pieces of the ham
mered leaf are arranged over each
other between leaves Of the skin, the
whole being placed between parch-
ment bands and beaten for couple Of
hours with a seven pound hammer.
Then the 500 pieces are cut up into
5000 pieces and again beaten. When
the work is done the leaf is 100000
part Of an inch in thickness and al
most rs light as air-London Ideas

Gladstone had peculiar. eaglelike
eyes. At dinner at which he and
Professor Blackie were present the
two men were opposite. and when
Gladstone gave in a forcible way his
idea that Homer was no longer recit-
ed, but chanted. the professor cried
out. "Mr. Gladstone. | don't believe

the matter and said one sentence, but
got no further He had met Glad

widened to their fulness in steady
glare, and his tongue stumbled, and
he sank back into his chair in con
fusion. The writer concludes:

umbrella. Make your way TO the place
where eagles. vultures, falcons and
such like creatures blink on their
perches. Select bird. Stare Mt him

When Britain Fought For an Ear.

Perhaps the most extraordinary cx-
ample of Britain going to war for mo
reason at all' occurred in the reign of
George II. One Robert Jenkins an
English merchant-captain. trading from
Jamaica. arriving in England in 1873.
reported that the sloop had been board
ed by the Spanish coast guards and
that, though no proof of smuggling bad
been found. he had been tortured and
his ear torn Off. All England flew into
an uproar Jenkins ear divided psr-
ties and shook Walpoe's ministry IL
self. The house Of commons sent for
jenkins. and he was told TO bring his
ear with him. The incident grew into
crisis. though Walpole did his best
TO persuade people to keep their heads.
but the popular Indignation was so
great that the next year the govern
ment was compelled to declare war
against Spain.-Pearsons
