A White House Fete.

/ know nothing more impressive in

than the White House, en- fete. 1t en-
bodies an our best tradition of hospi-
tally and cordiality-of perfection
without ostentation. Then there is
something In the atmosphere which
hangs about ESPECIALLY during the
days Of closing administration, which
makes one think of that serenity that
seems to cling around the woods of
Mount Vernon, and which appears
there almost like a material reflex
from the calm and tempered ripeness
of its owners soul. There Is, imag-
inc, an affinity, a certain likeness in
the magnanimity of all generous, wise
and simple men whether of ancient
or modern times. Alas! too hard for
our generation of cyclists to follow or
even respect. The only ideal which lis
preached nowadays is "one's duty to
oneself. From pieces OF the Game"

foe you may IN the end master the
secret of his destructive power, and,
perchance, you may come upon this
discovery, that the evils Of life do not
flow from the nature of things, but
from human blindness, from human
selfshness. from precisely that lack
of cohesion among the various mem
bers of the human family which alone
can raise them to higher levels Of Gull
ture and happiness.
If men were more sensitive to each
others feelings, if they could under
stand one another better, they would
cease to .deplore their own sufferings
and find that life in the larger sense,
a corporate life of consenting human
Municipalities, contains within itself
potentialities of real happiness.
Quite elementary and simple things,

and misery, but for a rich content

When coney Island Vanished.

According to a map of New York
made in 100 there was an island some
where south and west of the western
end of the present Coney Island.
Again map made "a years lateT
places this land farther westward and
illustrates it in proportions scarcely
larger than a mere islet. A chart made
in 1912 fails to show this beginning of
Coney Island at all. By 1850, on the
other hand, Coney Island, as 1T is known
today, had assumed extensive proper
tions, and these Typographical evolu-
lions are the best evidences of the
manner in which many sections of our
nearby shores have been growing and
shifting and dwindling in the course of
reasonably short periods of time.-New

WAGNER'S GREAT RECORD.
Veteran Pittsburgh Players Batting
Career Is Remarkable.

Hans Wagner made the hundredth
home run of his career recently, there
by making an uneQualed record The
grand old man of baseball has never
gone through campaign without one
or more home runs, and there have
been seasons when he made as many
as ten or eleven circuit drives.
1t is questionable if the player will
ever live who can duplicate Wagner's
remarkable batting record. In 2,4S6
championship games that he has play
ed to date he has made, besides his 100
homers, 1920 singles, 575 doubles and
236 triples, or grand total of 4,478
bases.
Wagner may not last much longer.
Within few years he probably will
retire, but it is decidedly doubtful If
his equal will ever be seen in base
ball. Cobb is a great player, but he is
not the versatile athlete that Wagner
is, who has played every position In
the infield and outfield and starred in
them all.

DAHLEN HARDEST MAN TO
TOUCH, SAYS EVERS.

"In all my years of ball play
ing" said Johnny Evers recently,
"the man l found it hardest to
touch with the ball as he came
down to second base from first
was Bill Dahlen.
"Dahlen always came straight
down the base line, directly at
the base, but in the last ten feet
of the distance there was no tell
ing what he would do.
He had a great way Of antici-
pating where the throw from
the catcher was coming, and he
played his slide to a nicely.
Coming straight along, he sud
denly would fall down on his
hips, to one side or the other,
spread his legs and then use the
greatest cleverness in pulling out
of reach and twisting himself to
hook the base with either foot.
There are other men whom l
have found it difficult to tag at
second, and among them are Lo-
bert, Herzog, Bescher, Byrne.
Magee, Miller, Higgins and Wag-
ner."

Precocious Dsmentia.

IN precocious dementia, which IS
due to a congenital fault, the indi-
vidual is either possessed of paranoi-
&C decisions of persecution, or he is
apathetic, without energy, and gradu-
ally becomes without mind. In the
latter subject the diagnosis is not DIFF
flcult. You see the youth who has
been fairly bright gradually losing
his intellect. So the process gradu-
ally goes on until he becomes merely
human being almost entirely devoid
