VACATION FANcIEs.

Every one has fixed idea OF what
an ideal vacation would be like. The
busy city worker. tired of the noise
of the streets. longs for the woods and
lakes, where he may fish or row, con-
tent with a canvas wall for a shelter
and a diet of simple food if seasoned
with the sauce of hunger. But the
dweller in quiet places wants to go
out into the world of men and see the
sights of the city as a welcome varia-
ton of the monotony of country life
A travelling man says he hates to look
a railroad conductor in the face when
he takes his vacation and has pur-
suaded his wife to go with him to
quiet resort although she wants to go
to the exposition at San Francisco
He says that when they go to fash
ionable places his vacation is spoiled
by the fact that he has to be continu-
ally buttoning up his wife's dresses

Indianapolis has an election frauds

FORGET IT.

a good memory is valuable, but il
is also a splendid thing to forget. All
of us remember more than we should.
None of us forget as many things
we ought to. We ought to forget the
shortcomings of our friends, and the
fancied Sights which have been
visited upon us. We should fail to
remember that which we hear about
our acquaintance, if it is not compli-
mentary to them. An ancient writer
summed it up by saying: THAT which
happens in the house of thy friend, let
it be as if it were not" We are more
direct now, in our language we'll as
in other things, so the modern way of
stating it is, Forget it!'' Forget your
own strength of character and the
weakness of your fellows. Forget the
good you did yesterday and do more
of it today. Forget that others are
indebted to you, but remember that
you owe much of your success to
somebody else. Forget your youthful
1ndiscretions, your own mistakes and
the mistakes of those about you. Re-
member the virtues of your friends,
but forget your own, and do not trou-
bic those who listen to you with long
accounts of things that are intended
to reflect the greatness of yourself

JEFF Tesreau pulled the Giants up from
the ropes yesterday and set them on
their feet The mastodon expert pitched
a game against the Dodgers at Ebbets
Field which was gilt as to edges and
masterpiece by a mastodon. Tho Giants
came out Of the seven drubbings slough
of despond with a 3 to o triumph over
the Brooklyns, from whose bats all the
kick was extracted by Tesreau's patent
anointed process. The homo team made
two hits and only two of Crsus Major
jeff. and those two strays were six in
nings apart.
THre was no observable lack OF scrap
pine-s or diligence on tho Giants part,
although the hitting they did of Dell,
the Wheeler. was considerably infre-
quent. Dell pitched effectively. credita-
bly,. although not with the sterling skill
shown by Tesreau. The latter. whether
his support creaked or whether he passed
somebody. never lost his aplomb and
never lost his control OF the situation.
Tesreau struck out nine Dodgers, made
them jump through a hoop when any
body was on base and had better control
than Dell However. the game could have
been played so that the Wheeler would
have been as hard to score on as the
Non Wheeler. Dell walked two batters
in the first inning, and with men on third
and second and one out the Brooklyn
inner line played back. retiring the next
batter AT the first bag instead Of making
play for the man going In. Errors were
responsible for the two other runs off
Dell. The Wheezers support was wheezy.
In shipping the thread OF defeat the
Giants did not look very good either In
the field or at hat They seemed to GO
about their batting haphazard. without

Dell was doing. particularly his predilec-
