Silent TRAGEDIES.

It is only the life of violence, the life
Of bygone days that is perceived by
nearly all our tragic writer's, and truly
one may say that anachronisTn domi-
aates the stage, and that dramatic art
dates back as many years as the art Of
sculpture. TO the tragic author it is
.nly the violence of the anecdote that
appeals. And he imagines, forsooth,
chat we shall delight in witnessing the
sery same acts that brought joy to
she hearts of barbarians. with whom
murder, outrage and treachery were
matters of daily occurrence, where
as it is far away from bloOdshed, bat
tlecry and sword thrust that the lives
of most Of us flow on, and mems tears
are silent today. and invisible and all
most spiritual.-Maeterlinc

WAGNER REMINDS ONE
OF REAL OLD WINE

The Grand Old Ruin" Honus Wagner
reminds many folks of wine. The crap
juice grows better with age-and Wag
ner seems to be doing likewise.
Honus isn't clouting as many safetie.
as he did in the old days. but he is hit.
ting with more telling effect this yea,
than ever before in his long and honor
able career.
In other years Honus used to swat EN-
out ever and anon. This year he saves
up his swats until a swat means a run
And then the Run lands the ball into
the farthest corner of the lot.
Although the wonderful German is not
as feet as Of yore. yet he seems to cover
more ground than 80 per cent Of the
shortstops in the game today.
Times without number the Pirate vet
eran has cut of hits this year. A dozen
times at least he has made seemingly
impossible stops and throws from difficult
positions.
Wagner is over forty. He is far be-
yond his prime. He has passed the bor-
der line between baseball youth and
baseball age. yet he ranks today as he
has ranked for nearly twenty years-one
Of the greatest ball players in the game.

Sidney G. jerks. designer and builder

the horror ship was built under a con-
tract that placed bonus on speed and
made no mention of passenger capacity.
He had come to Chicago early in the day
with the original model OF the ship and
the contract that gave him $500 for
every quarter mile faster than twenty
miles an hour that the ship travelled.
Shortly after the builders arrival Fed

Honus Wagner recently 'felP' for one

his teammates say he skipped the even

Honus was on first by virtue OF q sin-
gle. Wick was at bat. Honus was intent
upon stealing and. didn't watch home

he started for second.
Just then Lobert. the Giants third
sacker, raced toward short. as though he
were going to scoop up the ball. Short
stop Fletcher, taking the cue, hustled to
second and began yelling to Lobert to
shoot it"
Wagner figured that a ground ball had
been hit. and the Giants would try for .
double play. He put on full speed
ahead and shot into second. Then
and only then-did he discover that viox
had hit a pop fly. which First Baseman
Brainerd had caught. and which Brain

"Gabby" Cravath. the smuggling demon

made his first big league appearance. He
didn't last long and was sent to the
minors
While sojourning in the minors Cra-
vath began taking on weight. Adult 20
pounds were added to his frame. And
then it was that Cravath began to gain
fame as hitter-so much fame. in fact.
that he got another chance In the big
leagues.

done in the batting line since then is

Alexandra. Va, July 31.-The estab-
lishment Of toll gates by Fairfax County
may result in a war of reta iatioh on the
part of the supervisors of Alexandra
County, the Alexandra County board
having communicated the fact to Fair
fax County that they will establish ton
gates in Alexandra County unless the
gates in Fairfax County are done away
with.
This threatens to prove serious mat
ter to the Fairfax County authorities, as
the washington-bound traffic from Fair
fax County passes through Alexandria
County
Already the first toll gate of Fairfax
County is in operation at Oakton. Con-
siderable revenue has been derived since
its esta blishment. although it is declared
that many travellers are using the unim-
proved roads near by in order to get
arond the toll gate
It is expected that the Alexandria Au-
tomobile Club may make another plea to
the Fairfax County authorities to abolish
the gates. Two other gates. in addition
to the one operated at Oakton, are short
ly to be esta blished in Fairfax County.
