Book Windows.

Books are the windows through
which the soul looks out. A home
without books is like room without
windows. No man has right to bring
I'D his children without surrounding
them with books, if he has the means
to buy them. 1t Is a wrong to his
family. He cheats them! The love OF
knowledge comes with reading, and
grows upon it. And the love of knowl-
edge, in young mind, is almost war
rant against the inferior excitement OF
passions and vices.-Henry Ward

Notwithstanding the arguments be-
ing advanced by the Prohis and op-
timistic statements they are making,
the Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain
railroads did an unusually heavy bus
mess yesterday, large majority of
their tickets being sold to Little Rock
and Argenta. 1t was stated that the
railroad companies were unable to
accommodate the hundreds OF negroes
who crowded into the colored coaches
of the local trains out Of the city, and
conductors on these trains said that
the Argenta and Little Rock bound
traffic was equally as heavy as way
stations.
Yesterday was the quietest Satur-
day that the Pine Bluff merchants
have experienced for many months
There were few out Of town shoppers
in the city and the actual receipts in
many stores fell far below those OF
previous Saturdays, it was said.

there are others who maintain that
there has been a decrease in the vol

DREYFUSS AND CLARKE
 ROAST FEDS

New York, Dec. 1.-The advance guard Of the cohorts of Organized Baseball arrived in town last night with loud cries against the Federal league and it's wholesale raids. Au- gust Hermann, Of Cincinnati, chair man of the National commission, said that the course that the Federals were pursuing was foolish and that in taking contract jumpers they were simply wasting their money, for play CTS like Marquard would not have a chance of fulfilling the obligations they had assumed with the new league.
 Barney Dreyfuse, owner of the Pittsburgh club, had something to say about the Federal league. Some time pretty soon.'' said Mr. Dreyfuss,
 the moral attitude of the Federal league will be exploited and then the public will see just how they have been conducting their affairs. When the public learns the real facts of their dealings, 1t will be seen that some of these men are not the Sunday school teachers that they profess to be-.
 They tell me that Konetcny. and Viox of my club have jumped to the Feds but if they have I don't know it. The only thing know Is that they have signed contracts with me for

Let them jump The public showed last year that it didn't want the Federal league. It can go on another year, and a, year after that if it wants to, but it will lose money. As soon as the baseball pub lie realizes that player sacrifices his honor in breaking a contract for a money consideration that player is no longer an attraction with the pub Iic.''
 Fred Clarke, the manager of the Pittsburgh team, regrets the foolish ness of players in jumping to the Federal league. seThe players are. iu- Juring themselves" he said When this war started, baseball was on high plane, and it has received such a hard kick that it will be ten years before public confidence in players Is been the players fault and they broke contracts with w1de-open eyes. .
 Something is to be said, however. for those players who. not being so shrewd as the smooth business men who inveigled them, into jumping, Ns- tened to their arguments and took the step before they realized how they were intur1ng themselves.

CLABRY's MANAGER.
 SAYS PRESENT BOXERS
 ARE MORE VERSATILE

Since Jim C1abby defeated George Chip in California. and thereby won the right to claim the middleweighti championship, his manager, Larney Litchenstein, has decided that Jeems is the greatest fighter that ever lived that is, he is by far cleverer than any of: his predecessors in the art of self defense. No one will blame Larney for boosting his clever rniddleweight to the skies, for be surely one of the most scientific boxers we have had in many years. Like his manager Jimmy believes that they do, not go in to be beaten to pieces without. trying to show some signs of real science. Writ ing regarding the matter Manager Larney says:
 There is a great difference in. the old and the present style of boxing. In the old daysait was generally agreed that the place to aim for in boxing was the head. So the arms were held high up and though some such blows as the kidney punch were known, the body of an opponent was generally neglected The average boxer among the old-timers believed that 8 blow

 day that the grounds will be located
 in the Bronx and that the financial
 packers of the New York team will be men closely associated with the Wards,
 who control the Brooklyn club.
 Both President Gilmore and Robert IB. Ward, principal owner of the Brook feds and Vice President of the 'out- law organization have been inform
 ed >that with a good team in New
 York the league will eventually have
 it's patronage increased all over the
 circuit. At the annual meeting of the
 Federal League in Chicago recently the question of establishing team in New
 York was placed before the other mag
 mates and looked upon favorably.
 After this meeting was concluded President Gilmore declared that there
 would be no change in the circuit dur ing the coming season. The leader of the outlaw organization also made
 the announcement last year that Tor
