Man Who Was Always Late.

late, the last man to get out of bed
at reveille and the last man on pa.

for France his chums declared that he
was the last into the transport ship

When his regiment was doing its

was sent for by his officer, and as he
was creeping along the trench towards

In the shoulder, just as he was outside

After seeing that he wasn't seriously
wounded, the officer exclaimed, with
a twinkle in his eye. IF you had just

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Democratic
hopes in Russia have been dealt an
other serious blow BY the cars re-
vival Of the chancellorship and his
appointment Of Premier Goremykin to
the position. This II an unusual ONCE
in Russia. 1t has been filled only
twelve times in two centuries. and has
been in &beyance for the past genera
tion. The czar's move now ID due to
his desire to increase the power and
prestige Of Goremykin and to empha-
size his approval Of the reactionary
movement.
The fact that there was . lack Of
more serious obstructions than street
rioting to the c1ar's anti-democratic
activities has coincided with the halt
of the Teutonic oflensives In Russia.
The czar himself has taken credit for
the new military situation, in view Of
the fact that he has been In COM
mand of the Russian armies since he
deposed the Grand Duke Nicholas.
The check. however. il not due to the
Russians positive virtues. but rather
to the demands Of the Serbian cam
paign undertaken BY the central allies
and to the fact that reasonable num-
bers Of Teutonic ob1ectives had been
won on the eastern front when the
car took the Leadership.
Now Goremykin will marshall the
stand-pat forces to protect the csar
from the duma. For the remainder
of the war. therefore, the dumas in

ball field happened when | was with
the Cubs and Jimmy Sheckard was
playing out there in the pasture beside
me.
Sheck was, perhaps, the best man at
playing for oatters the game ever has
known. Much OF his great success was
due to the fact he played right where
batters hit The ball. But this time
things had been breaking badly for
him.

sprinted for second and looked to see
how far the ball had gone just in time
to see Sheckard tossing it back. The
drive had gone straight into Sheck's
hands!
Tommy was the maddest man you
ever saw. Sheck's superstition had
robbed him Of a sure three-basc hit
and, as it turned out, saved Chicago
the game.
