LEFTY" BACK TO BIG TIME.

St. Louis, Aug. 31.-Walter Lev erenz, former Hartford southpaw, whose pitching helped the Senators win the pennant in 1909, has been turned back to the St. Louis Browns by the Indianapolis club of the Amer ican association. President McGill of the Indians took Leverenz on a months trial on verbal agreement to buy him at a reasonable price, pro- viding he made good. The option ex- pired Wednesday. Manager Hendricks was well pleased with the former Hartford southpaw and wanted to keep him, but owner Robert Hedges put a prohibitive price on his ser vices, and Leverenz was turned back.

We can- not expect energy to spring from . bad physicque, and it is quite rea- sonable to assume that this singu- lar lack of desire to make the most of life on the part of the Japanese is due to bad nourishment of the body and deficient education of the spirit
 Lack Intellectual Ability.
 She went on With the body and the spirit of the people both impell- ed to sleep it is no wonder that they have less power of appreciation, of creation, of understanding and en- durance. Take people who fall asleep so easily on trains. Naturally, they lack the intellectual ability to study scientifically how the cars on which they ride daily are constructed. They can afford to be at ease without even understanding the nature of things half way.
 They have no attachment for either old or new things. They do not mind in what way they live as long as they can continue to live. They are willing to temporize in or der to get along for the time being and will adopt or adapt any old or new thing so long as these things render a temporary service"
 Great Changes to Come.
 It was pity, Mrs Yosano thought, that the Japanese are so content with the surface of things and do not seek to penetrate, to delve to the bottom. The picture she painted was pessimistic, but she was supremely confident that great and good changes would come. "Remember,'' she said, that to make life more ample, more complete, to make it more new, strong, broad, fine, systematic and happy is the wish of Europeans, but the Japanese ways are lukewarm; they rest satisfied with what they have on hand. They do not rise to be real researchers, thinkers, ori- glnators, appreciators. Their civili- zatlon js an imitation, not the pro- duct of their need.

 One Great Source of Supply.
 In May, MT. Paradise wrote: There is one great source of supply from which each person can draw a fixed quantity of goods, while no one need go without because of poverty. Many, once well off, have no food or money SC they can obtain a little soup and half of a loaf of bread, or per- haps a few beans and some rice, upon which they exist for the next twenty four hours. In fact, Horace Fletcher, the great advocate of mastication- a nervy, rosy little old gentleman, | ensconced in Brussels | attributes the unusually good health | which is prevailing in Belgium this | winter and spring to the necessity for sleeping so much and eating so little and is quite jubilant because of this conclusive vindication of his theories.
 There is one figure, the memory of which supports the Belgians through all of their misfortunes and inspires them with courage and con- fdence in their blackest hour, and that is the figure of him they proud y called Our King To his people he is the embodiment of every king y and soldierly virtue, and the thought of the day when he shall re- turn in triumph to Brussels even now brings tears of joy to every Belgian's eyes,"

New York, Aug. 31.-Scott Hurtt Paradise, of 12S High street, Medford. Mass, who spent five months in Bel gium as an American delegate in the employ of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, Fl Broadway, New York, and assisted in the great work of dis tributing food to the Belgians in various provinces, has recently re- turned to his American home and has written a book, which will probably be published soon narrating his ex- periences while in Belgium.
 MT. Paradise tells, in an interesting way, many of his experiences from Dec. 1, 1914, until June 1, 1915. When he started through the interior of Belgium to begin his work he re- ceived a jolt which was, to say the least, surprising if not amusing. He had to present his "Passierscheein," and the German officer who inspected it, read it through to the signature, whereupon ne remarked, "Hully gee! what 9 name," in perfectly good Eng fish. It developed that the soldier number of years.
 Form of Diary.
 Much of MT. Parad1se's story is in the form of diary, and in April he noted the fact that many letters of thanks were received from the Bel gian officials and people at the com- nission's headquarters in Brussels. An Am erican cannot realize,' he wrote, what it means to be one day happy and prosperous and surround ed by the little luxuries of civilized life, and the next day to be thrust back one thousand years into a world in which starvation and disease seem inevitable. and then, just when the dark spectre looms most threatening, | to have some great, scarcely known | power step in and furnish food and | clothing to the suffering people.

Il do not say that every prison off,
cial should be devout Christian, bet
l am willing to say that every prison
official should reverently acknowledge
the power of the gospel as the greatest
force known among men for the refor-
nation and rehabilitation of fallen
man.
The simple truth is that there has
been too great a gulf between the war
denis ideals and the chaplain's ideals.
The chaplain has been regarded in too
many prisons as a kind of vermiform
appendix, a part of the prison anato-
my, but really not necessary AMI
sometimes harmful.
"The principal work of the warden
is to arrest evil tendencies in the pris
GIN life and create, foster and develop,
within the prison, all those agencies
possible which are reasonably calcu-
lated to cure defects in character aui
develop manhood Hard work, exercise
education and religion, in their broad
est and most practical sense, are the
agents the warden must employ, if he
shall answer to this, his highest mis-
sion. If this be true, then it follows
that the chaplain's work fits nicely
in with the general plan of the insti-
tuition.
THE chaplain's business is to create
new impulses, inoculate new purposes,
stimulate good impressions and help
the prisoner build himself a new life.
This is enough for one man. 1t is the
mobiles business ever committed to the
hands of men or angels"

lima, and to this strong showing is
ed the a-half-million dollar
contracts to North Carolina mills just
mentioned.
Reports from all parts of the South
show continued improvement in the
lumber situation, with increasing de-
mand; a more general employment Of
labor in the iron districts of Ala
bama and elsewhere than for the last
five or six years, and very marked
improvement in general business
throughout the whole South. At Bal
timore, a contract has been let by the
Pennsylvania railroad for the con-
struction of new coal pier at cost
of $1,000,O00 to handle 600 tons of coal
per hour. Philadelphia manufacturers
in connection with Baltimore investors
will build $375,OO0 plant at Baltimore
for manufacturing high grade sheet
steel, using electricity exclusively in
the work. The American Vacuum Can
Co., of West Virginia has been organ
lied with capital stock of 100000
to manufacture cans or metal contain
ers. The Shelbyville Cotton Mills, of
Shelbyville, Tenn, has been organized
with 100000 capital stock to build
electrically-driven cotton mill. Ow
ing to the prohibition situation in
West Virginia, the West Virginia Brew
ing Co., of Huntington, is to remodel
its brewery and change it into pack
ing plant, at a cost of $4,000, for the
packing of hogs and cattle. The Lun
dale Coal Co., Charleston, w. Va, has
been Incorporated with 100000 capital
stock for mining operations. From the

officers and the chaplain is placed in
