FROM MISSOURI"
Wants to Know If the Federal
League Suit Really Belongs
in the Federal Court.

Chicago, Jan. 23.--Counsel for the
Federal league and organized baseball
resumed their arguments in the Unit
ed States district court today confront
ed with the possibility that Judge
Lands might throw the case out OF
court on the ground that he did not
have jurisdiction.
The attorneys for the Federal league
Judga Lands said, had not convinced
him in the presentation of arguments
up to the close of court yesterday
that the case was one for a Federal
court to decide. Keene H. Addingtol
and Judge Quincy A. Meyers of coun-
sci for the Federals, after a thorough
study of the new angle injected into
the suit were prepared to cite several
authorities today to prove to the court
that they had a legal right to have
the case decided in a Federal court.

HIS MOTHER

"a Sketch in Memory Of Will Staley,
Gods finger touched him and ht
slept, and sleeping smiled; and the
sculptor, Death, with chisel cold eras
ed from his features every line Of care
and trouble, and every sign of age
and with skilful touch carved the looH
of eternal youth and beauty on his
face.
His mother, beholding, gave thanks
that it had been vouchsafed unto her
the blessed privilege and Joy of look
ing upon her precious boy with the
glory of youth and innocence OF young
manhood again upon his face.
She had prayed that he might only
speak to her once more in the gentle,
loving tones he always used for her
whom he loved so dearly, but the feel
ing of grief, bitterness and rebellion
passed from her heart when she saw
that smile upon his face, and she felt
that in a way her prayer had been
answered, and God had given her back
her boy in all his winning attractive
ness and charm for little while, be-
fore taking him away from her into
the silence of the grave.
The calmness and dignity that had
been carved upon his face convinced
her Of the majesty and nobility OF
death, and that sweet smile was to ner
the crowning stroke of the Masters
hand that reconciled her to tho agony
of giving him up to go out into the
mystic Beyond-in sflence-without
her loving hand to guide him, and
made her willing to leave to the ten
der, loving, merciful Heavenly Faith
er, who knoweth the depths OF the hu-
man heart--her boy, believing that
He doeth all things well.
The poet Wordsworth, said:
"The best portion of a mans life,
His little, nameless, unremembered
acts
OF kindness and of love-"
And many will remember the little
acts of thoughtfulness and kindness
that were great portion OF VIII Sta
ley's life, and these same little name
less acts of love toward mankind, es.
pecially in the dark hour of :ioubIe
and sorrow will make him missed In
his home town, as well as in his
mothers heart.
