where he was born forty-one years
ago of Danish mother and British
father. The British father was the

army. Leaving a prosperous gar

Chum Bob's Sporting Talk

New York May 3-When there is
nothing else to write about, it is all
ways easy to criticize the umpires
or the players. Boone is coming in
FOR share of the critic stuff be-
cause he says he does not bend his
knees when he goes after a ground
pail. AS a matter of fact, none of
the best fielders do bend their knees.
1t is the uncertain player who
wants to click his heels and bend
his knees. The man who is sure of
himself simply widens his distance
and Is in position to reach freely
for freak bounds to his right or left.

MORE Than MONEY
BY NORMA EVERETT pEANE.

Lawyer Abel Doyce loved money

grow selfish and mean under the
maiign influence of the god of gold.
More than that, young Merton had
known the hateful power of money in
other forcible instances. His father
had been rich. Within a week Vance

In a reckless speculation. Then those

their backs on them Worse than
that. the girl whom Vance fancied he
loved coldly repealed him.
Bitter in a way, but infinitely wiser,
Vance had ignored the society that
mad deluded him. He had gone to
work for Lawyer Doyce, knowing him
to be close, penurious man, but rath-
er liking him because he was consis-
tent in his faults. Doyce made no
oypocritical claims to philanthropy or
moral merit. They got along pretty
well together. Vance made and saved
some money.
He had mental vision he hoped to
make true some day; go "far from
the madding crowd" and in some pref
ty countryside, where hearts were not
polluted. lead peaceful, happy life,
undisturbed by the promptings of am
bition and unassailed with hypocrisy,
envy, meanness.

Miss Wells Called
Best Dressed Woman

Miss Emma Burlington Wells, well
known here as representative OF the
Gossard Corset Company, is in New
York, where she is conducting a cor.
set school at the Hotel NIcAlphin. The
New York Sunday Telegram publishes
long interview with Miss Wells, In
which she is called the best and most
inexpensively dressed woman in the
United States. The paper also con.
talns a splendid picture of Miss Wells,
with the interview, which concerns
mostly the freakish costumes which
have taken American women by storm
and which she condemns. Miss Wells
is native Of Parkersburg, w. Va, and
since her connection with the oGssard
Company has risen rapidly until she
holds one of the highest POSITIONS with
that well known firm. She has been a
frequent visitor at Hartley's store.
