Daily Thought.

No man can expect to find man
without faults; nor can he propose
himself to be so to another. Without
reciprocal mildness and temperance
there can be no continuance of friend
ship. Every man will have something
to do for his friend, and something
to bear with in him. The sober man
only can do the first; and for the
latter, patience is requisite. 1t is
better for a man to depend on him
self than to be annoyed with either
a mailman or a fool.-Own Felltham.

SHAKESPEARE SAYS

Poor naked wretches, wheresoere you
are,
That bide the pelting of this pitiless
storm,
How shall your houseless heads and
unfed sides,
Your lopp'd and window'd raggedness
defend you
From seasons such as these? O l
have la'e'n
Too little care of this: Take physic
Pompe,
Expose thyself to feel what wretches
feel,
That thou mayst shake the superfud
to them
And shew the Heavens more just.

LITTLE PRAYERS
Sunday


Beginning the DAY. thank Thee,
O God, for the sunshine. | thank
Thee for the death it deals and the
life it gives. I thank Thee for the
color and the form which it reveals,
for the loneliness, near and far,
which it unveils. l thank Thee Tor
it's warm invitation to wander IN 1t,
to listen and think. l thank Thee for
it's amazing call to my spirits. l
thank Thee for it's reminder that Thou
art still the Giver of life, and that
Thou hast not forgotten. Amen.
Monday
Beginning the Day-Lord, make me
a child of the day, not of the night.
May my deeds and my presence bring
light. May my face shine. May my
message be hope and cheer. May my
speech flower into song. Minister
unto me, O my Father, in Christs
name. Amen.
Tuesday
Beginning the Day-Help me, U
Lord. to remain true to the principles
of nv childhood teaching. May not
slip away! Bind me to the great hon
estes and the great loves instilled In
me when | was young. Save me from

ers and those who loved me and
prayed for me. Amen.
Wednesday
Beginning the Day-My God, | can
do SO little; | have so little strength

SOME BASEBALL
CHA T7ING OF THINGS

handful in the American league ball
playing in the city and only a cor
poraPs guard turned out to see them,
while more people than saw all of
the games in as many as four diff
ferent cities in the Southern league
during the season last year, journey
ed out to watch bunch of boys play
the game for fun.
And what happened in Cleveland
last summer is happening in every
city in the land, only in a smaller
way. Amateur baseball is developed
further in Cleveland, possibly, than
in any other city in the land. One
reason for this state of affairs is the
fact that several years ago, when Tom
johnson first became mayor of Cleve-
land, he established free ball parks
wherever vacant lots in the city would
permit such. In every section of the
city, parks were opened up for the
youngsters of the vicinity, and these
youngsters jumped at the opportunity
to play ball. This is happening in
other cities, and the movement is
growing. There is a plan being pro-
NOTED now to work out national
amateur championship series, and it
is sure to go through within very
few years. Imagine the crowd that
would turn out in the east to see the
favorites of that section battle the
best in the west
What is the answer? Easy enough.
Most people like sport for sports
sake. The average man would rather
watch couple of kid teams with red
blood in their veins, and plenty of
fight and enthusiasm in their system
pull off % to 20 game of ball, than
to see two professional teams drag
along through nine lifeless innings,
where Bill Jones let the Skunks down
with three hits and no runs, while
John Smith allowed the Minks four
hits and one run through the same
period.
There's sentiment in baseball all
right, and it is the possibility of play
ing on this sentiment that makes
baseball paying proposition. There
is some sentiment among ball play
ers, and some among club owners.
But there is much more among the
fellows who watch the game. So long
as those who play can arouse this
sentiment in those who watch it, base
ball will retain it's popularity, regard
less of who is doing the playing.

OF course that great host did not
cough up sum of either rs of SO cents
per capita to watch the combat. Ad-
mission was free. But it shows that
interest in amateur baseball is at a
high pitch in Cleveland. But this is
not all. The same day that this
mighty gathering congregated to
watch these boys play ball, the Athle-
tics and Maps were playing to a mere

THE FIRST KISS.

"The greatest surprise in the world
to a girl that is kissed for the first
time is that there is no taste to it.
Elk.
No taste to it! Well by the her
feathers on Cupid's dart, but the
editor of that paper must be color
blind and deaf and dumb in his palate
They tell us, those who have tried it
that it tastes like the double distilled
essence of honey spread on fat piece
of pumpkin pie; that it's taste re-
sembles a sip of nectar, brewed by
the gods and served in dew-covered
honey-suckle blossom.
Way back in the dim and hazy
past, long before we had misplaced all
our teeth and when we had cinch on
the beauty prize, the prettiest girl
in all the world told us with her own
pretty rosebud lips that our first kiss
felt like a flock of Paradise birds
fluttering out peace on earth and
ended with a sensation like a covey of
winged angels pouring molasses down
her throat.
No taste to the first kiss! Great
guns 1t would make a wooden
Indians hair curl up into a fluttery
marcel wave and his toe nails CULVER
in ecstatic bliss.
No taste to the first kiss! Why it
tastes like the ambrosia of cherry
blossoms just at the time when the
whir of the humming birds wings
come to one as siren-song.
No taste to the first kiss! The man
who invented that phrase must be an
ice box.-Natchez News Democrat.
The only thing we have ever seen
to equal the above raving is a poem
by Josephine Hunt, printed several
years ago. For the especial benefit
of the News-Democrat editor we re-
produce it herewith as follows:
You Kissed Me!
You kissed me! My head
Dropped low on your breast
With a feeling of shelter
And infinite rest.
While the holy emotions
My tongue dared not speak
Flashed up in flame
From my heart to my cheek.
Your arms held me fast
Oh, your arms were so bold!
Heart beat against heart
In your passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing
My soul through your eyes,
AS the sun draws the mist
From the seas to the skies.
Your lips chung to mine
Till | prayed in my bliss
They might never unclasp
From that rapturous kiss.
You kissed me! My heart
And my breath, and my will
In delirious joy
For a moment stood still.
Life had for me then
No temptations, no charms,
No vision of happiness
Outside of your arms.
And were | this instant
An angel possessed
Of the peace and joy
That are given the blest,
| would fling my white robes
Unrepentingly down,
would tear from my forehead
Its beautiful crown,
To nestle once more
In that haven of rest
Your lips upon mine,
My head on your breast.
You kissed me! My soul
In bliss so divine
Reeled and swooned like drunken
man
Foolish with wine.
And l thought 'twere delicious
To die there, if death
Would but come while my lips
We're yet moist with your breath
If my heart might grow cold
While your arms clasped me rounC
In their passionate fold,
And these are the questions
ask day and night:
Must my lips taste no more
Such exquisite delight?
Would you care if your breast
Were my shelter as then?
And if you were here

Just at present the Federals, their
methods of fighting, the retaliating
measure of the Orgs, and a few other
forces are suppose to be threatening
the popularity of the sport as bought
and paid-for entertainment. This
doubtless is another angle to the great
diomond game that is worth the con-
sideration of men who draw their live
lihood, whatever it may be, from pro-
fessional ball. Reference is made to
the interest being manifested in the
game as played by amateurs.
This interest is nothing new. The
game was played as sport long be-
fore a few long-headed hombres dis
covered that the public could be in
duced to cough up real coin to see it
played possibly little better by men
who were willing to make profession
of it, The spirit and interest has eX-
listed, therefore, all along, and late
manifestations are merely revivals.
Here are few facts, which possibly
you, friend fans, have never heard,
and which men interested in baseball
from a professional or business stand
point should be interested in.
The largest crowd that ever saw
baseball game anywhere watched
couple of amateur teams play during
the past summer. A few years ago
wide mention was made of the fact
that approximately 10000 bugs crowd
ed through the turnstiles at the Polo
Grounds to watch the Giants in &C
ton. This was a truly remarkable
gathering. But the amateurs referred
to above drew more than twice that
number. Over $4,000 people saw two
amateur teams play last year for the
city championship.
OF course that great host did not
cough up sum of either rs of so cents

 Rurnors of shortage of forage in Germany and the strict government. supervision there of possible food for domestic animals have doubtless been responsible for the extension Of the prohibited articles in Great Britain.
