5 TRUTH CRUSHEDT TO EARTH:
By FANNY ELLISON,

Its queer" said the little stenog- rapher, but men haven't the least in- st1nct of honor. That is true, at least, so far as this office force is concerned. l mean the men aren't truthful"
 Excepting bookkeepers," supple mented the bookkeeper.
 "Oh, yes, I didn't include book keepers-or office boys or clerks. They don't count one way or the other. I had reference to MT. Gray and his type,
 MT. Gray had a long-distance tele- phone call from New York today I was sitting waiting for him, so I over heard what he said. The man at the other end was mad about something and MT. Gray was trying to pacify him.
 "'You know he said to the man in New York, how clerical errors will creep into letters and get overlooked. I'm sorry I didn't read over that let ter more carefully. I'll see that it doesn't happen again!'
 Well I was trembling in my shoes, thinking it was some big mis- take I'd made in writing a letter, but when MT. Gray hung up the receiver he smiled at me.
 1 "'My!' he said, That man has a bad disposition. I promised to meet him in New York last night and forgot it entirely But I made him think it was only a typographical error in the date I gave him in my letter-so it'll be all right for me to | meet him next week And he never once thought about his having put the blame for his mistake on my innocent shoulders!
 'But I'm not the only one. There's 1 poor MT. Elliot. That man worked nights for two solid weeks getting that new card index system into shape, and when he got it finished he was as proud of it as a peacock. didn't blame him bit-for you know what a really good thing that new index system Is going to be.
 "But MT. Gray, who fully appreci' ates the worth of it, didn't hesitate to tell the president, right in my very presence, that he'd had that lit- | tie system in mind for some time and with Elliot's help he'd got it up! Talked just as though MT. Elliot had done the rough work under his super vision, when, in fact, Mir. Elliot was the whole show from beginning to end! Actually it made me angry. i
 'Then today MT. Gray deliberately told Billy to take letter down to the printers and to wait for an an. swer. But when Billy didn't get hack until five o'clock and it was time for him to go home Mr. Gray wanted an- other errand run-so what did he do

Worry Has a Value.

There must be way of taking worry rightly, so that it shall do us good and not harm. Worry, rightly taken, should train to quietness, hu- nility, patience, gentleness, sympa- thy. It ought not to eventuate (though 1t naturally does) in making others suffer because we are uncomfortable. in making us source of painful worry to others because we are worried our. selves.-A. H. K. Boyd.

Too Much Sulphur in Gas.

It Is not the soot from gas fame shat blackens ceilings and corrodes metal, but the sulphur dioxide or tri. oxide that is e product of the combug. tion. If the gas contained little or no sulphur, as it might if the companies would spend a little more money in purifying it. our ceilings would remain white and the silver on OUT sideboard would not tarnisb in few days.

but say that he had not told Billy to waste all the afternoon at the print. CTS, and, therefore, Billy would have to run that other errand before he left! And poor Billy didn't dare say anything"
 But what's your own specific par ticular trouble today that calls forth all these narrowing "reminiscences ?' asked the bookkeeper.
 "Well"-the little stenographer smiled in spite of herself-"since you're so anxious to hear I'll skip the other offenses on my list and pro- ceed to the gravest of the lot.
 "Here I've been sitting over my typewriting machine for hours creat. ing nice form letter that will make our customers sit up and take notice. It hits just the right angle between politeness and friendliness. It is very respectful, and yet it doesn't hesitate to say in good, clear English that we know a lot more about our line than any one else does-and that we are merely waiting for chance to impart our knowledge to others.
 "I'm not ashamed to acknowledge 1t is the best form letter that has been put together in this office in a long while!
 "Well, what do you think? MT Gray, after examining it-and telling me to send it out to our best custom. ers-kept a copy on his desk, and when our publicity specialist came in he handed it to the specialist, saying: What do you think of this letter I'm getting out?' with emphasis on the T! I'd like to-"
 "Yes, why don't you punch his head?" sympathized the bookkeeper.- Chicago Daily News.

Utter Sounds While Still in Shell.

So long ago as 1899 Dr. Voeltzkow noticed that unhatched Madagascar crocodiles uttered cry from the egg at considerable depth and that any shock, as heavy tread near the egg, caused the baby crocodile to produce this sound with the mouth closed, as we produce hiccough sounds. In this way they inform the female crocodile, when she visits the nest, that they want her aid, where upon she scrapes the sand away and they emerge.

GIANT-KILLING PITCHERS OF 1908 ARE
NOW PLAYING WITH THE SAME TEAM

Giants believed they could sail to the
pennant through Cincy, Philadelphia
and Boston.
But at Cincinnati they struck a
snag in Jean Dubuc, then a mere
youngster, who stood the Giants off
and beat them badly. Then they
went on to Philadelphia.
There they met and were defeated
three times in five days by Harry
Coveleskie, green kid just out of the
bushes. These four defeats robbed
them of a pennant
Coveleskie gets credit for more than
outpitching Mathewson and Wiltse in
the final game of the trio that he won.
Coveleskie 1t was who put the game
on ice with single that scored Doom
from third after his clean triple.
COyie Stands Acid Test.
At the end of twenty-six innings OF
pitching against the Giants, Covie
was put to the acid test. With the
score standing at al, Herzog started
the ninth inning for the Giants with
single and took second on an error
Then Titus funbled Moose McCor-
mick's drive and let Herzog score
and Mccormick go to third with the
run that would tie the score, with
nobody out. But Covie never wav-
cred. He made Mike Donlin, the next
man up, pop out, holding Mccormick
on third. Seymour hit to Knabe, who
caught Mccormick trying to score
Covie famed the last man, to face
him, Devlin.
Overwork Proves Costly.
Coveleskie himself says that it
wasn't the strain of those three
games he won from the Giants that
caused him to go back to the minor
leagues via Cincinnati. 1t was the
strain caused by poor handling and
overwork all through his career with
Philadelphia that made him go back.
The tendency to work their good
pitchers to death is not confined to
the minor leagues by a long ways,
according to Covie. At Philadelphia
he was underworked at times, over
worked at other times and generally
handled badly.
Harry believes that II he had been
allowed to work more sensibly he
would never have found Unnecessary
to go back.
The fame that Coveleskie has at
tanned leads one to believe that he is
a rather old pitcher Such is far
from the case. He is a young looking
fellow who doesn't appear to be ready
for the old mems sanitariun for a
while yet

AMERICAN TENNIS PLAYERS SHOW
BEST FORM BEFORE THIRTIETH YEAR

age to be twenty-five and one third
years.
During this period, which embraced
the playing seasons from 1908 to 1918,
the average age decreased steadily,
indicating clearly the rise of
younger element to the topmost ranks
of American lawn tennis.
The present low average age is ac-
counted for by the presence among
the first ten players of Mclaughlin,
aged twenty-four; Williams, twenty
three; William Johnstone. eighteen;
j. r. Strachan, eighteen; w. r. John

The theory that lawn tennis
player of tournament calibre is not
at his best until he has passed his
thirtieth year has received severe
setback in America during the past
few seasons. Although the average
of the ranking players In European
countries during the present decade
appears to strengthen the contention,
the records of the United States
stars show that the average age Is
decreasing every year.
Taking the past six years as a
working basis, II is seen that whereas
the average age of the first tep
players In 1903 was twenty mine years.
