shoulders and A., beloved: "Haw!
Not handicap greeted him, but
some mindless, exceedingly adven-
turous fan yelled: "Redhead; Red
head! Redhead!'
That was the one thing calculated
to rouse Red Gilbat. He seemed to
fare, to bristle, and he paced for the
bleacherS.
Delaney looked as if he might have
a stroke. Grab him! Soak him
with bat! Somebody grab him"
But none of the Stars was risking
so much, and Gilbat. to the bowling
derision Of the gleeful fans, reached
the bleachers. He stretched his long
arms up to the fence and prepared to
vault over. where's the guy who
called me "redhead?" he yelled.
That was heaping fuel on the FIRE.
From all over the bleachers, from
everywhere, came the obnoxious
word. Red heaved himself over the
fence and piled into the fans. Then
followed the roar of many voices, the
tramping of many feet. the pressing
forward of line after line, Of shirt
sleeved men and boys. That bleachei
stand suddenly assumed the mael.
strom appearance of a surging mob
around an agitated center. In a mo.
ment all the players rushed down the
field, 4 confusion reigned.
"Oh! Oh! OH" moaned Delaney.
However, the game had to 20 on.
Delaney, no doubt, felt all was over.
Nevertheless there were games ocea-
sionally that seemed an unen6ing Sc
ries of unprecedented events. This
one had begun admirably to break .
record. And the Providence fans,
like all other fans, had cultivated an
appetite as the game proceeded.
They were wild to put the other red
heads out Of the field or at least ont
! for the inning, wild to tie the score,

Then Kane hit into second base,
forcing Reddie out.
Again the game assumed less spec
tacular and more ordinary play. Both
Scott and Wehying held the batters
safely and allowed no runs. But in
the fifth inning, with the Stars at bat
and two out Red Gilbat again electri-
/ fed the field. He sprang up from
his long shape EMBODIED in full,
length linen buster. The color and
style OF this garment might not have
been especially striking, but upon
Red it had a weird and wonderful ct
feet. Evidently Red intended to bat
while arrayed in his long coat. tor
he stepped into the box and faced
the pitcher. Capt. Hcaly yelled for
him to take the buster off. Like
wise did the Grays yell.
The blcachers shrieked their disap-
| proval. To say the least. Red Gil
bats crazy assurance was dampening
to the ardor of the most blindly con-
fdent fans. At length Umpire Fuller
waved his hand, cnjoining silence and
calling time.

and once more struck fire and brim-
stone from the impatient bleachers.
Providence was town that had to
have its team win.

gruffly.
Batter up" called Umpire Fuller
sharply.
Where's Red? Where's the bug?
Where's the nut? Delaney, did you
lock the gates? Look under the
bench" These and other remarks,
not exactly elegant, attested to the
mental processes of some OF the
Stars. Red Gilbat did not appear to
be Forthcoming. There was an anx-
ious delay. Capt. Healy searched
for the missing player. Delaney did
not say any more.
Suddenly a door under the grand
stand opened and Red Cilbat appear

up to the plate. And he never offered
to hit one of the balls Wehying shot
over. When Fuller had called the
third strike Red hurried back to the
door and disappeared.

QaY Set for Marrlanea

Visitors to the quaint old city Of
Plougastel. in Brittany, are struck
with the fact that all marriages are
solemnized in q single day Of the
year. Why this unusual custom pre-.
walls is easily explained. The men
are all fishermen. many Of them going
as far as the Newfoundland banks,
and are at home only during a few
months in the winter. One day in
early February Is set apart for the
weddings. Little counting is done, but
much haggling over the dowry of the
girls. They have to bring a certain
quantity of linen, chickens, pigs, and
vegetables. Frequently a match is
broken Off because father refuses to
add sack Of potatoes to the dowry,
On the day set the Inhabitants Of the
entire region go to Plaugastel The
whole population goes to church to
hear mass, to take communion. Often
so or more couples are united on the
same day. Bride and bridegroom dc
not walk together until the ceremony
has been completed.

AHEAD IN ONE PARTICULAR
United States Makes the Best School
Showing Of Any Country In
the World.

The United States leads in the per-
centage of population enrolled In
schools. Switzerland follows, the fig.
ures being 1877 and 1876 respectively.
But we. along with Germany and the
rest, are left far behind in other par
ticulars. The little republic in the
Alps boasts 178 university students
per 10000 population to 81 in France,
n in Italy and 20 in this country. It
should be pointed out, however, that
in little country like Switzerland,
with several important universities,
the presence of foreign students
counts for much more than elsewhere.
We are accustomed to think that,
while we haven't yet produced many
classics, We print-and read-more
newspapers than any other nation,
and It seems to be true that in abso-
lutte totals Of issues Of periodicals we
surpass them all, our 1880 a year
being more than twice the 9,s77 of
France. our nearest rival. But in num-
Der Of newspapers per million of popu.
lation, our 260 is outdone by the 275
of Switzerland and almost equaled by
the 251 Of France. Our showing in
books published per 100000 population
is pitiful or fortunate according to
ones way of looking at the modern
/ flood Of literature. Denmark, with
1875. and Switzerland, with 116, are at
the top of the list, while the United
States. with ten, and Russia, with six,
are at the bottom. The surprising

Better Idea,

Orville Wright was recently pre-
vailed on to try new revolving mo-
tor Of the Gnome type. the invention
Of q San Franciscan.
Mr.. Wright put the new motor on an
old biplane and gave it fair trial.
It continually stalled, however. and
SO he told the inventor that he was
afraid it wouldn't do.
But the inventor read him a long lee
ture on the various methods of pre-
venting stalling, concluding with the
admonition:
"You want to put little cleverness
In your work, sir"
"Humph,' the aviator retorted.
why didn't you put the cleverness in
your engine?"
