ing far into the wee sma' hours, and
up with the sun the following morn
ing, bright as a dollar, and fresh as a
daisy, and that it is sheer nonsense
to believe continuous rounds of gay
ETY. told on a girls health or looks?
Turning night into day can be kept
up but a certain length of time. The
pretty daughter of wealth need not
know when the sun rises; it is not
reminder to her that time is passing
She can sleep well into the MONDAY,
woOing the roses in her cheeks to stay
by her
But what the heiress may do with
out dismay is positive harm to the
pretty shopgirl who has nothing but
her energy, health and youth to bank
on. No matter how youthful and SEEM
ingly tireless she may imagine her
self to be, the nightly pursuit of
pleasure will all too soon demand of
her its toll.
The proverbial forty winks of sleep
each night may suffice for a little
while, but nature will soon rebel
When the sun throws its first beam
OF golden light into her room, a sigh
instead of a laugh will soon break
from her lips and she will wish from
the depths of her heart that she could
sleep just a little lOnger-only five
minutes more would be a boon.
But there's just so much time to
dress. swallow her coffee and rolls and
get to her place of business. Time
will not loiter for her convenience. She
gets up tired. The gay life slowly but
surely makes inroads on her health,
and no girl who is tired and haggard
in consequence can save her beauty
for long.
Entertaining company in a girls
own home, if late hours are INDUCED
in, is quite as disastrous. If it is a
young man whom girl hopes to win
for a husband who is permitted to
outstay the departure hour set by gen
eral custom in polite society, she will
find that defying judicious social re-
quirements lowers, rather than ad-
vances her in the average young
mans opinion.
There's another danger signal for
young and innocent girls to heed
though they be rich or poor-and that
is, the saucy-looking cocktail or the
red, red wine which plays an import
ant part in gayety which leads to dam
ger or perhaps wrecked lives. The
girl who allows herself to be coaxed
jeered or cornered into imbibing
liquor has a thorny road ahead of
her to travel. One GLASS creates a
thirst for a second, and perhaps a
third. Few, if any. young women can
imbibe to that extent without losing
their heads.
Young men escorts who would
tempt unsophisticated young women
into such a pitiable plight are not
safe companions to see them home.
Herein lies the most dangerous peril
of many a girls thoughtless reckless

The matinee performances of ''The Penalty at the Lyric theatre closed Saturday afternoon in a triumph of theatrica1s. By a feat hitherto uf- known in the dramatic world, the Cal burn Stock Co.,, surprised it's audience by combining tragedy with farce in a stupendous climax.
 Here's how they did it: James Carpenter, a wealthy man. had just completed a revelation to the son of a woman who had been receiving grat- uities from him, while the son threat ened him with a revolver. Tears be- dimmed the eyes of the men in the audience and women wiped their eyes unfeignedly. All was hushed. Then:

.-You may say said the mayor to a Farmer reporter, ''that have only one choice for superintendent and. he is Eugene Biringham. I have not gone into this blindfolded. Before I named the men who were to go on the police board let them under stand that Birmingham was my man. I did not exact any pledges of any man because I gave none myself and ask none from anyone I appoint. How ever, have my choice and intend to do all in my power to land him at the head of the department. I have consulted with the leading men of both parties and am in a position to know that Eugene Birmingham is the choice of nine-tenths of the citizens of this city,
 The mayor then said that there would be no meeting of the police board before the early part of next week when he would name his four new comni sioners- So far the names suggested have been those of William B. Seeley, John Rusling and w. B. Spencer. all former Republican com missioners, and Patrick Coughlin, Frank Miller, HenEy B. Atwater and zalmon G+oodseI as the Democratic mem bers.

MANY LEFT FLANDERS
 IN AMERICAN LEAGUE

Were it not that Ban Johnson has iA his baseball organization some yer satiIe young athletes, who, although left handed batters, can hit south can cloutl right handlers the south paw peril might loom up as really alarming in the American League this season,
 It so happens, however. that the leading eight batters in the A. L. for 1914 were left handed hitters-Cobb, Collins,f Speaker Jackson, Lelivelt, Baker, Hoblitzel and Crawford. One of these, Jack LeIivelt, has since de- parted from the big time. circuit, but the other seven are left to prevent the portside fingers from annexings too many victories
 A few years ago southpaws of real class were rather scarce in the John son circuit, but today each club, with the exception of New York, finds it. self equipped with one or more star >Ieft hanaders. Only three of these having had a phenomenal rise into fame and success. Because of their rapid progress the American League is better fixed for southpaws than ever before in it's tempestuous his tory.
 Should 1t be shown that any one club is especially hopeless before 8 competent left handler, that club will have it's troubles in facing any but crooked arm hurlers all season. Sup pose, for instance. New York finds hitting portsiders a puzzling task. It tackles Boston in g, series of four games and is forced to go : against Leonard, Collins and Gregg, to say nothing of Babe Ruth. Shifting to l Philadelphia, it has a chance to rest, for Connie Mack has only Bressler and Pennock. Going on to Washing 1 ton the Yankees merely will have to face Boeh1ing, Harper and Bentley. 1 Going west they will encounter an
 other great southpaW array com posed of Coveleskie, Cavet and Smith son of Detroit; Mitchell and Coumbe

"Tris" Speaker, g Today, a Sad Victim
 of Cigarettes

Gather about our knee, little chill dren, and we will spin for you the sad and pitifu1 story of a promising career which was kicked in the bud by in- du1gence in the banefuI and wicked practice of smoking cigaroots. Once upon a tine-tllirty-two years ago to- day, April 19, 1888, to slip you the exact vital statistics6there was born in Hubbard City, in the Grand Old State of Texas, a male child His offspring was christened Tristram, af- ter the famous MT. Shandy. (Deep ltry stuff.) This made child grew to be staIwart boy, and all might have been well, had he not fell in with evil companions, who led him to indulge in the deadly habit of whiting the paper pipes Poor Iris tram s growth was stunted, and, when he reached an inch short of six feet he stopped growing.
 The poor little shrimp, with his cigarette-stained fingers, aspired to become g baseball pitcher. and he was given 8 chance to display his ability in pushing the pellet by the kind man ager Of the Cleburne club in the North Texas League It was soon discovered that the cigarette habit had affected his soup bone so seriously that he was impossible as twir1er, and he was sent to the outfe1d. The next year the poor cigarette fend had to be con tent with a job as outer gardener for the Houston dub of the Texas League. There his work was so poor, and his batting averag& of ,314 so unsatisfac- tory, that GeorAe Huff, athletic direc- l tor of the University of Illinois and then scout for the Boston Red Sox, recommended that he be drafted Houston was glad to get $500 for him, I for a cigaretter couldn't be expected to last long or accomplish much
 
 a chance to show his wares. and the Red Sox management just naturally forgot his existence when the time
 came around for sending out con | tracts. Speaker was left a free agent
 and he kept the wires warm appealing
 for job. Barney Dreyfuss thought
 of signing him for the Pirates, but
 when he discovered that the )TexaT I smoked cigarettes it was all off.
 "Nix on that fellow said Barney 1 I'm off him. won't have a cigar
 cite buffer my club. They're nc good-no endurance, no wind, nC speed, nothin' at alI.''
 At about this juncture Boston re l membered Iris existence and turned l him over to Little Rock as ground
 rent man. Hampered as he was b. I his terrible addiction, all Speaker
 to bat $50. At the close of the seaso1 Boston bought him back for $500.
 Early last year, after Speaker ha l made a reputation as one of the great est outfelders and hardest hitters il
 the American League, the Feds trie to cop him, but Boston saved him b.
 offering a contract for two years fol
 $'7,000, which established a new rec
 ord for an active player. Last yea
 he was third among batting heroes o the American League ,I with an aver age of .3Ss, being surpassed only b Il Cobb and Collins.
 And now little children, wheneve you are tempted to form the wicke,
 habit of cigarette smoking, remembe , the sad story of Tristram Speaker, tn 2 poor Texan, and think of what great man he might have become
 he had staid off the paper pipes.

 The curtain went up again and Car penter was not dead yet. It went down again and up again and then Carpenter expired.
 Somebody had forgotten to load the revolver, or somebody un1oaded it to see the general effect. At any rate the audience appreciated it so that one of the cast had to adjure them to consider MT. Carpenter dead in the next room or the play couldn't go on.
