Lazy People Are Batteries
That Cant Get ReCharGed

moderate in intensity. The emo
tional shock or the violence OF pas
sion stops the action OF the battery.
A drama, even though fictitious, II
II touch us, arouses a state very
much different from mere interest
tears, fear. despair, anger-and the
physiological conditions OF these
states are quite different. The state
called interest is only an effect, and
the absence OF interest results from
general or partial weakening OF
motor tendencies-the battery will
not work-whence comes a repug-
nance to effort
There is not sufficient energy in
the battery, and the tendencies to ac-
tion become negatived, or turned
aside, producing laziness, lack OF
tone in the system, apathy-all diff
ferent names for the same state,
which is general in frank laziness. in
senile weakness and in the I'll or
asthenic who simply lacks nerve
power. Avoiding all effort is due to
the consciousness OF this organic de-
bility, lack OF power in the battery.
Habit is an important element in
action or the lack of it, Through
habit what was at first conscious and
live activity becomes a purely phys
biological mechanical action, from
which consciousness is withdrawn.
When completely controlled by habit.
man is entangled in a net which pre-
vents all spontaneous action and
leads direct to utter laziness.
The brain is not really inert. at the
beginning, as some have claimed, for
every one is born with a small CAPT
tai OF fixed combinations and con-
trolls which would not lead very far
If left alone. We start with the pri-
mary instincts and the repetitions
which experience furnishes. The
habits are formed by grating action
upon existing instincts, letting the
battery operate along certain accus-
toned wires, and by selection, pick
ing out certain wires for the current
to work on.
When the habit is formed 1t makes
1t easy for the lazy to do the accus-
toned thing and difficult to do the
unusual. Effort gives way to the &C
customed and the electric force fol-
lows the line of least effort. Here
We have the final result of laziness,
the refusal to do anything new, be-
cause an effort has to be made, and
the battery, having had few calls
upon 1t, lacks the force 20 accomplish
anything new.

ADY CONSTANCE STEWART RICHARDSON, a
member of the highest British aristocracy, is
- wellknown for her somewhat daring dances and
her originality and unconventonality in many directions
Lady Constance has been on friendly terms with
many members OF New York fashionable society, but
she has utterly rejected them because-they have
made fun of her art.
It was at one OF the meetings of that very fashion
able organization, 1.-THE Friday Evening Club" held in
the Della Robbia Room of the Hotel Vanderbilt, that
her ladyship considered herself aggrieved.
She scheduled to give some Of her svmbollcal
slightly-draped dances at 10:30. Some Of the most
lively and fashionable men and women in New York
society there. The attendance large, for
they had heard that Lady Constance would outstrip
her previous efforts
The music began. Lady Constance stepped out on
the floor wearing brilliant robe She threw 1t off
and revealed herself in the costume, lack of It, that
may be In Prince Troubetskoys clever statue of
her, which is reproduced here Repicas of this statue
being sold for the benefit Of the starving Begians
Lady Constance had not executed many steps OF
nymphlike gambol when she became aware of litter
ing among the fashionable spectators Lady Con-
stance, It is said would not have objected to exclama
ons Of establishment or even of shocked surprise but
The tittering touched a sensitive spot.
She paused looked around angrily and then resumed
her dance of abandon. Soon the tttering broke out
again and increased in volume Then a womans laugh
burst forth, clear and distinct There no doubt
about it. The fashionable audience found something
in Lady Constances symbocal dancing that was ire
sistibly funny.
This was too much. Her ladyship hastily resumed
her robe and turned toward the exit, remarkng in a
voice that was heard above the general confusion,
'Unappreciative Philstines! What do such people
know of art?" Some people say the word she used
was even stronger than "Phiistines" Then she dis
appeared through the doorway.
Among the members of the club were Mrs. James
Gordon Douglas Mrs. Leonard NJ Thomas Mrs Fran

-HROUGH the influence of popu-
lar speech we often confuse
L activity and effort with very
different psychological states. The
tendency to a minimum OF effort Is
not exceptional in humanity, and the
most active often act without max
ing any great effort.
Mankind may be divided into three
classes-the highly active, whose
superabundance OF power may show
itself in violent physical exercise, in
sports, intrigues, inventions OF all
kinds, the Unsuitable pursuit Of
money, honor or fame. They are like
well-adjusted machines, always in
motion, with never a jar. Enterpris-
ing, bold they seem never to tire, or
are refreshed quickly. This class
never tries to fall to a minimum Of
effort.
The second class includes those OF
moderate activity. These feel
fatigue, have to try to make an eff
fort. Their energy-capital is limited,
so they must economic It, These
represent the large majority of man
kind.
The third class is that OF the
"asthenics," who feel a dislike for
any effort, display laziness, apathy
and extreme inertia, but are not ac-
tually inValids. These are the people
we say were born lazy" And &C
tually they were.
II has been said that the ideal man
is a perfect transformer" He acts
like a reversible battery; that Is TO
say, that after having acted for dis
charge like an ordinary battery he
is regenerated by a nervous current
which constitutes the recharging. An
increase of the muscular and vase
motor tonicity may be produced in
one part by diminution in another
part of the body, which probably has
something to do with apathy or par
tial laziness. The tendency to this
laziness has its roots in the phys
illogical condition. II marks some
insufficiency, In various degrees. A
person who Is born lazy" has this
insufficiency to a maximum degree.
Among the psychological causes
the most evident, II not the most i'm
pOrtant, IS the natural aversion 10
pain or suffering The state of con,
seriousness becomes the principal fac
tor, or at least seems to be-; 1t is the

DAWSON LOSES SECOND.
MOntezuma Gets Three Home Runs,
Beating Dawson 1S to 3.

AMERICUS, July 5.-Dawson and
Montezuma locked horns again this
afternoon on a wet field and in a
driZZling rain.
Baby Wilder could not handle the
wet ball, and had to be relieved by
Corley after he had walked nine, hit
three, allowed nine hits for a total
of sixteen runs. Corley went in cold,
and consequently allowed two hits
and two runs. Dawson got nine hits
off of Methvin, but they did not come
with men on bases and counted for
only three runs.
Ellison, Chancey and Chatham got
home runs, and Doc Harper got one
three-bagger. Chancey of the Macon
Tigers made a beautiful one-handed
stab off Thrasher's bat in the fifth.
The scorer did not have enough
paper and pencil to keep an accurate
account of the game, and consequent
ly detailed account of the game is
lacking.

Errors i'm PincheS Lose for Him.
On wet and sloppy diamond Daw-
son and Cochran locked horns again
Friday, the home team working to
tie the series and the visitors trying
to win the series. Corley of the home
club was opposed by Fuss. Both
pitched good ball. but Fuss had the
better of the argument, he giving up
three hits, while Corley gave up four.
The home club reached second just
once, when Williams stole in the sec
Ond inning. The whole Cochran team
played jam-up ball, not miscue be-
ing made during the nine innings.
The visitors scored in the second
inning after two were down on a sin
gle, a walk and a double steal. They
scored again in the sixth and sew
enth on one hit in each inning and
mixed with some wild and woody
base ball by the locals.

EUFAULA WINS LAST GAME.
Parker Gets Even With the Visitors,
Winning Three to Two.

EUFAULA, June 30.-With a
change of management and of play
ers the home club came back strong
today and took the last game of the
series. Corley pitched good ball for
Dawson, and although the locals had
the bases full several times he would
have won but for costly errors by his
team mates in the pinches.
After Kingery was out in the first
Lowe hit for three bases and scored
when he and Thrasher, L., worked a
beautiful squeeze play. The other
run for Dawson was made by Kingery
in the third, when he hit long drive
to deep right-center for a complete
circuit.
Davis, the first man up for the To-
Gals, singled. Barnard hit to Thrash
err, and on his wild throw to first
Barnard went to second and Davis
scored. Smith hit to pitcher, who
failed to catch Barnard at third.
Geaslen doubled to left, scoring Bar
nard and sending Smith to third.
Hamilton pops to short. McCraney
hits to pitcher and he has Smith at
plate. His honor, the jumps, called
him safe. At this stage Manager Col
by and his team walked off the field.
After much wrangling Brown and
Thompson go in to umpire. Smith is
called out at plate. Summers gets
three handwriting. The locals scor-
ed again in the third on a double and
single. After this Corley did not al
low the locals another run.
The visitors threatened to score
in the ninth, when L. Trasher doub-
led against center field fence. How
ever, the necessary pinch hit was
lacking, and Thrasher died at second

DUST FROM THE DIAMOND.


We took two out of three from Eu-
faula, but even then we did not play
our best article OF ball.
Corley pitched good ball and
should have won, but he received the
same rotten support that he has had
in all the games he has pitched.
Mr.. Jones of Eufaula, "would-be
umps," needs some short-distance
glasses. His decision at the plate in
the first inning Wednesday was cer-
tainly bad. The management of the
Eufaula team evened the count, and
did all that true, honest gentlemen
could do. They reversed the decis.
ion after Mr.. Jones had forfeited the
game to and put in two new UNI
pires.
We certainly received kind court
eous treatment in Eutaula. Let us
meet them halfway here.
Jim Kingery led mis- team mates
with the willow in Eufaula. He got
one home run, several two-baggers
and incidentally batted $40 on the
trip. He got two twO-baggers in the
first inning Tuesday.
Doe Harper, although ne had a
finger knocked out of place, caught
the best game of the season in Eu
faula Tuesday. He dug many of the
"Baby's" low drops out of the dirt.
bud Cooke was in left for the Daw-
sonites Tuesday. He played a good
game, but had the misfortune to have
one of Parker's benders hit him, be
hind the ear in the first inning.
Corley. Davis and Wilder make a
hurting department that is as good
or better than any We have seen. But
they cannot win when their team
mates make from three to seven err
rors a game behind them.
Nor can they win without runs.
We scored two runs in the last q
innings last week, and still hope to
win. We say that there is a lot, to
base ball besides luck.
The boys must brace up and get
some bingles, or else the kind-heart-
ed fans will become hard-hearted
that Manager Colby should consult a
specialist about the batting eyes of
some members of his crew.
What do you know about man
scoring from first base on a single to
left field. That happened in Fri
days game.
In behalf of the base ball team and
I fans of Dawson We wish to thank Mr..
! H. E. Allen, the Chamber Of Com
MERGE and the people of Americas
generally for the kind and courteous
/ hospitality shown US as their guests
and visitors. We were treated as
kings. and We all had a good and joy
Gus time in our beautiful sister city.
| May We have an opportunity to show
them how much We appreciate their
| kindness.

WILDER COULD NOT CONTROL
WET BALL AND LOST SECOND
GAME 1S TO 3.

AMERICUS, July 5.-The many
hundred visitors in this city were
+reatad this morning to the prettiest
game of ball from every standpoint
that it has been the pleasure of NOR
tai man to see.
From the time that Umpire Moran
oo1Ied "plav BALL" at 1890 till Mr..
Chatham made three hard swings at
70 o'clock every eye was alert and
every heart thrilled, for they were
doing their best to take the victory
home.
Colby for Dawson scored in the
first inning on a walk, wild throw
TO first. a sacrifice and wild pitch.
Dawson got man on second and first
in the fourth, but Mr.. Hawkins, alias
Wilson. of the Georgia State League,
mt too much on the old agate to al
low Dawson to score again.
Davis had control, curves, speed
and headwork, and MonteZuma could
get but two hits. Only two men were
on bases for Montezuma during the
nine innings. and Young Davis was
never in trouble.
The feature of the game was
magnificent stop off OF the bat OF Mr..
Chancey in the seventh inning by l..
Thrasher. The ball was labeled two
bases. but Ike wiped out the label
and threw the leader in hitting of the
sally" league out at first.

In beautiful and hard-fodght

went for eight innings Thursday af-

In the eighth inning Cochran singled
past first, stole second and scored
minute later when Lowe threw Will
liams' grounder over first base This
run was enough to win for Cochran,
as Dawson failed to reach second dur
ing the nine innings of play.
Davis for the locals was opposed by
Williams, formerly of Atlanta and
Macon. Both pitched magnificent
ball, Davis giving up three hits,
walking one and struck out eleven,
while Williams gave up one hit and
struck out nine. Williams had the
best support, and consequently he
won what should have been a draw.

Inning, Winning 10 to 4.

EUFAULA, June 29.-In a game
much more interesting and harder
fought than the score indicates the

time to the count of ten to four.

ball pitched for two bags, starting

walked. For the second time during
this inning Kingery doubled. Harper
and Wilder scored Lowe was hit
again. Lowe gets too big a lead off
second, and Kingery is caught on
forced run.
The locals scored one in each the
first and fifth innings and two in the
seventh, in each case on errors and
hits combined.
The pitchers were hit freely, but
Wilder had the best of the argument
all the way through, he giving up
six hits while his team mates were
making nine, and striking out eleven
men to Summers eight.
