Some men at the club had brought
up the old problem of wife versus
mother. Which should a man save
if he were struggling with them in
the water? Then it was that Merrill
told this story:
"SOtheby had been out boating
with his fancee, Evelyn, and her lit
tie crippled sister, MoIlie," he said.
81 think that problem was still hard
er. Ordinarily, of course, his duty
would have been to save his fiancee,
but MoIlie was Iame-had been so
from birth. She could walk, after a
fashion, but she could not swim and
she was far too frail and delicate to
swim for her life in such a tide as
Eight-Mile race.
HE knew Evelyn could swim like
a fish, too. The girls were staying
at North Cliff when he ran in to see
them. He had met Evelyn a few
weeks before in town. He knew she
and her sister were orphans. They
had hardly a relative in the world.
Sotheby had become engaged a week
or two before and he was madly in
love with Evelyn and the envy of all
the other men who admired her dash
ing beauty.
81 think his pTedicament was
worse. It was about half mile to
the land and Evelyn could probably
have made it, MoIlie was helpless.
Sotheby did not know what to do.
He acted on impulse. He saved Mol
lie.

IN A HURRY TO LOAF
Diamond Performer Has Per-
chant for Great Speed.
Never-Endng Wonder to Layman That
Baseball Players Do Everything
at Breakneck Pace-Not a
Moment Is Ever Lost.

Will some student of psychology
please rise and tell the ladies and
gentlemen why ball players, who, as
a class, have more spare time on
their hands than any other body of
men actually engaged in any sort OF
occupation, are always in hurry?
It is a source of never-ending Won
der to the layman-that the athletes
should do everything at such break.
neck speed that one might think they
had only few minutes longer to live
and wanted to improve the time,
writes e. A. Bachelor in Detroit Free
Press. They hurry their dressing in
the morning, take their meals on the
high" walk fast, read fast and un-
dress rapidly when retiring. Not a
moment is lost, though nobody ever
has been able to discover what be-
comes of all the time saved by this
hustle and confusion.
Coming back from the ball game
in a foreign city, for instance, the
players will exhort the driver OF
their bus or taxicab to make all pos
sibIe speed. Thirty miles an hour they
consider the proper rate for a taxi
through crowded streets, while with
a horse-drawn vehicle, the steeds must
constantly be kept on the gallop.
On arrival at the hotel, the play
ers take a rapid bath, dress in four
minutes and then are ready for din
ner. Fifteen minutes is the time al
lotted to this meal and the waiter who
prolongs it beyond that limit is not
likely to get tip. The major Lacquer
likes course dinners, but he wants
courses to overlap. His soup must
be on the table when his oysters are
finished and his fish must be ready
when he still is burning his tongue
with the last mouthful of soup.
Having saved five minutes on the
trip from the ball park by foScing
some reckless driving, another five
minutes by rushing his toilet ard at
least half an hour by bullying the
waiter at dinner, what does the fe-
verish athlete do? Does he attend
some theatrical performance, lecture
or sermon, no fragment of which he
can afford to miss by being late? Does
he meet a pretty girl and take her
for a walk or to the show? Not much
he does! In seven cases of every ten,
he spends the entire evening loafing
around the lobby of the hotel, writ
ing letters OF: perhaps playing a
game or two of pool. Anyone of
these means of passing the time away
might just as well start at $3.50 o'clock
as at $50, but you never could con-
vince a ballplayer of that fact.

of opportunities to other mems one or
two cannot be gainsaid. They are
brought constantly before the atten-
ton of the most romantic and beauti
full of women-thoughtful, noble, SEN
sible girls, and foolish ones.
1t must be conceded the gentleman
ly actor would have little difficulty
in taking unto himself a wife. He is
possessed of good, sound practical
judgment. He looks at, and perchance
admires many a pretty face from
across the footlights and tears up the
great number of scented, pink-tinted
notes that reach him in every mail
without regret, nor giving them any
further thought, for he has made up
his mind until his salary brings him
a safe and sure dependence that would
amply maintain a wife that to steer
clear from all womankind is his safest
and best plan He looks cold facts
squarely in the face. Why should he
wed wife-to live away from-work,
slave and starve to maintain a home
to live out of-rear children he could
scarcely ever see to love and fondle?
He, of all men, knows the value of
and appreciates the blessing most of
loved ones, all his very own-at home.
To him hope and longing point one
way, ambition another. He makes
worthy resolves about marrying, but
he finds, like every other man, that
he has to contend with a mighty Jug
gler of human affairs that he had not
considered in his careful calculations
Dan Cupid.
When that arbiter of his destiny
takes a part in the marriage game,
he might as we'll throw up his hands
and yield to what is to be gracieusly
which, summed up, means the actor
may escape matrimony longer per-
haps, than the majority of his fellow
men, but his hour to capitulate to
womans charms will come soon or
later. When that time comes, he will
we'd. There are actors who have wed
women who have never trod the
boards, but the majority of them wed
some sweet, ambitious girl who graces
the lOOIllSulS, WHOSE lie mas run Ill
the same groove with their own, who
knows the trials, the irksomeness, the
anxieties of the hard life, the bird-on-
the-wing feeling, and that home is
where their trunks are. He hasn't the
fear of leaving her behind him. She
can work side by side, shoulder to
shoulder and heart to heart with him.
There is much to commend the mar
riage of an actor with one of the pro-
fession, but much to discourage it
with the beautiful girl who fell in love
with him at first sight-and must be
left to her own devices to find pleas
ure as best she can the greater part
of the year. Love or marriage should
not be entered into light1y-especially
by the actor, if he would succeed in
the profession he would devote his
best talents, aye, his life to.

He Took No Chances.

In a public ward of a hospital two
fellows were recovering from opera
tons for appendicitis. A third patient
was brought in from the table and
placed on a cot between the nearly
well boys. Coming out of the ether
and recognizing earth again, he turned
to the one on his left and said:
How are you getting on, pal?"
Fine till yesterday; but the doctor
left spool of cotton in me, and they
opened me up again"
The new patient sighed, then turned
to the sick one on the right. well,
how are you, old MANI"
Pretty good until yesterday; but
the doctor left his scissors in me, and
they opened me up again"
Just then the door opened, and the
doctor came in, exclaiming, Anybody
around here seen my hat?"
The new patient jumped out of the
window.

speedily ran the $50 into a fat sum.
When the Braves landed the National
league flag Jake had good stake, but
said nothing about his winnings.
1t was something like 100 to shot
that the Braves would not take four
straight from the Athletics, but Jake
grabbed all the alluring bets that were
offered. He stood to lose every cent
he had accumulated, but luck was with
him all the way, and when the series
ended he had $4,000 to his credit at
the bank.
He felt deep gratitude to Connolly
for making his fortune possible, and
gave him check for $4,000. Connol-
ly did not know what to make of it,
and consulted Stallings, who told him
it was all right.

Will condescend to take bit.
Every girl has some idea of what
kind of beau she would like. On the
list of likes" she puts down: HE
must be agreeable, good-looking, pop
ular; in fact, man l could look up
to and be proud Of" If that girl is
introduced to two men at the same
time, one a masculine fashion plate,
suave of manner, whose eyes can flat
ter as we'll as his tongue, and who has
the knack of charming her-what
chance has the bashful young man
who is with him of holding her atten-
ton?
His clothes may be of excellent
quality, but he hasn't the knack OF
wearing them to advantage. He be-
comes confused and shutters when he
tries to talk. He is ill at ease. When
he opens his mouth he is sure to say
the wrong thing. He tries desperately
to pay her compliment, but fails. If
he attempts to tell her that she looks
like a red, red rose, he is mere apt to
twist it and say she looks like a red,
red rooster.
He is Mortified at his blunder when
he sees how angry she gets. He is
diamond in the rough, but young femi'
nine hearts do not make allowances
for this. The man with the f1attering
tongue will leave the outspoken rough
diamond far behind in love-making.
The fiatterer soothes her pride; the
honest youth, careless of his words,
ruffles her temper. Nine women out OF
ten, if they do not know the world,
will trust their life's happiness to the
man who knows how to pay them
honeyed compliment; hold their hand,
whisper low and sweet into their ear;
call them "Girlie" and imply by their
actions that life would be nothing for
them if they had to live without them.
Even widows, who are supposed to
be the shrewdest of womankind, are
not proof against being caught in the
flatterer's trap. He knows, no matter
how old she is, she likes to be told
that she looks as fair and sweet as
young girl! That young women could
profit by taking lessons from her in
modesty and the art of drawing
mans heart from his bosom, whether
he will or no.
Fathers and brothers know the fiat
terer, this stamp of man, very we'll.
They tell their womenfolk that all
he says is mere lip service, not from
the heart. They have no end of trou.
BILE in making them believe it. They
are sure to believe that an innocent
man is being maligned, plying him all
the more. All the fiatterer has to do
to get into the good graces of the silly
woman is to talk little love to her.
Then all the kings horses could not
draw her from his side. She believes
him. There are women who are not to
be deceived by the 1attering tongue.
They know that he must have mad
much experience to be such an adept
at love making. Women should be
ware from the outset of the men VINO
begin to fiatter, and not turn a will
ing ear to them.

SKETCH OF JAMES 1. VAUGHN
Big Left-Handed Pitcher of Chicago
Cubs Attracted Much Attention
at Start of Career.

James Leslie Vaughn, the big left
handed pitcher of the Chicago Cubs.
was born in Weatherford, Tex, April
8, 1888, and had one of the most SEN
sational minor league careers on rec
ord.
The first time he ever saw a ball
ground with a fence around it was in
Hot Springs, Ark, when he joined the
local team of the Arkansas league, in
1908. One month after reporting to
Hot Springs, Vaughn had attracted
the attention of almost every major
league club, and was purchased by the
New York Americans on May Is. Lack
of experience sent him to Scranton of
the New York State league, but he
was recalled in a month.
In the spring of 1900 he was sent to
Macon, Ca, but was then recalled and

COMING BETWEEN THEM.

.a'ff~
Though lost to sight, to mem'ry dear
Thou ever wilt remain
One only hope my heart can cheer
The hope to meet again.
What pity it is that the paths of
some loves are so rugged How few
stop to thing that the fault may lie
with the lovers themselves. 1t is not
to be expected that youth is over
stocked with wisdom, yet it seems
passing strange that girls with sweet
hearts make companions, nay, conf
dantes, of girls who show openly that
they would cut out the confiding one
if opportunity presents itself.
The lover in her case is rarely to be
blamed. He considers it his duty to
be courteous to his dear ones chum.
Being thrown constantly, through his
sweetheart, in the other girls society,
his friendship for her steadily
strengthens. What man can meet a
charming young woman daily who
owns frankly that she might have set
her cap for him were he not her
friends beau without becoming aware
of her attractions and feeling the
subtle charm of her pleasing person
atty?
If the lovers have a misunderstood
ing, it is the girl friend who is expect
ed to patch up their differences and
coax them together. Effecting re-
Cancellation between them is not by
ionv means the game such a girl DlayS
She is more apt to pretend to SYM
pathize with the girl who is sobbing
out her grief on her bosom. but while
coddling and caressing her, whisper
in her ear that the only way to bring
such an Indifferent fellow to his senses
lis to encourage another beau to call
and take her out.
There are young women foolish
enough to follow this rash counsel
and rue it all the days of their after
life. To the detected lover the false
