the social circle in which Miss Wen
dell moved. He had not even heard
if she had returned.
Strikingly, however, he recalled a
certain discussion he had held with
Helen. 1t had verged upon love, but
masked as friendship She had
voiced her sentiments that when two
of the opposite sex were mutually
drawn one to the other, 1t should
lead to all sacrifice of veal and woe,
but they should be true. Il would
cling to a man to the last who, es-

had spoken laughingly and she, in
earnest, had said ut may bring a
response" and had smiled, too, but
with tender light in her eyes he
loved to remember.
"a great uncle, that If mine!" many
a time Harley had reflected, some
what bitterly. ''He insists on four
years of college agricultural course.
and then tells me to follow medicine,
or some other respectable profession.
Why didn't he give me farm?"
But now, cutting loose from all the
past life, no prospects of work, no
money in his pocket, Harley packed
his best clothes in suitcase, babe
his landlady good-by and proceeded to
the street. There was grim uncom-
promising glitter in his eye as he
proceeded to secondhand clothing
store. When he came out of it, Har-
ley was arrayed in a coarse common
working suit and had few dollars in
cash as a result of sale of his few
belongings.
His next stop was at a laborers' en-
ployment bureau. It's proprietor
started at this white-handed, refined
faced, applicant who indifferently an
nounced that track work, mining, farm
work, in fact any line of manual en-
ployment would be acceptable.
Harley was required to pay fee of
two dollars. Then he was given a
card. 1t read, Superintendent of

with himself. It will keep me from be-

But adverse fortune seemed to pur-
sue the victim it had kept tramping
the streets for several weeks looking
for the position he never found.
He arrived at Allegan to find york
at standstill and the railroad in the
hands of receiver. Some two hun
dred workmen had dispersed, or were
dispensing about the immediate vicin-
ity. The farmers in the district were
hilarious over this vast influx of la

President Comiskey has unbelted
the information that he can have First
Baseman Jack Ness of the Oakland
(Cal.) team, who has been making rec
ords on the coast, If he wants him. He
isn't sure that he does, in spite of the
string of 40 games in which Ness
made at least one hit.
The fact that Jimmy Johnston is
running second to Ness among the
Coast league batsmen and setting the
league afire in other ways makes the
work of Ness less impressive to Comis-
key than it would otherwise appear,
because Johnston has had several
trials in fast company with both the
White Sox and Cubs in the past half
dozen years, and has failed to cope
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1915-09-16

with major league pitching well
enough to stay.
Comiskey has first claim on Ness,
because he holds blanket option on
the Oakland team in return for play
ers released to that club.
This does not include Johnston, who
joined the Oaks later and is under op-
ton to the Cubs, but it does include
Ness.
However, the master of the White
Sox will have the Oakland team looked
over carefully before deciding which
player to pick, and will not pick Ness
simply on his record of hitting safely
40 straight games, although several
other club owners are reported to be
angling for that player.

WHY PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE.

All earth below, all heaven above,
IN this calm hour are filled with love;
All sights, all sounds, have throbbing
hearts,
in which its blessed fountain starts
1t matters not whether the woman
is single or married, her one greatest
happiness is when she falls in love.
Every woman loves to find one ideal
who will bring her hope, joy and fu-
ture happiness. 1t Is the one raptur-
Gus study of her life, her looking-for-
ward time, and courage never fails in
this particular object.
AS for a man-just as soon as he
can possibly see his way clear to wed
and settle down, his quest and noble
ambition is to find the one woman
who is suitable and responsive to his
heart with whom he can fall in love-
Experience has taught most of us
that many meet and are pleasant COM
panions, while the question is very
nearly ready to be popped and yet
they get no nearer with elusive Cupid.
There's many a slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip" applies to falling-outs,
partings and breaking-offs, which are
not easily forgotten, at least for some
time. They think of each other even
after they have turned their faces
away and vowed to give up all
thoughts of love and lovers.
When a girl is deeply in love, her
desire is to leave nothing undone to
make the home where she is living
charming and attractive. She bends
her task in this direction to please.
Her face beams with smiles and re-
fleets sweet, precious thoughts. in
which dear Somebody always figures.

DREAM CAUSES PANIC
WaIIy Schang Throws Hotel
Guests Into Pandemonium.
"Loses" Decision in Game With De-
trcet and Almost strangIes Broth
er-Says II Was Most Real
Contest He Ever Played.

Walfy Schang, the Athletics young
catcher, caused panic in an East
Aurora IN. W hotel by dreaming that
he was playing baseball. He tagged
Ty Cobb in his sleep, awakened every
body in the hotel, and nearly stran-,,
gled his brother in an argument with
the umpire.
Schang recently was in East Au-
rora as a member OF a bowling team,
Of which his brother, Bob, was also a.
part.
After the game the boys went to-
the hotel and retired for the night.
On reaching dreamland Wally's mind
turned from bowling to baseball, and
this fact is what caused all the rum
pus and nearly threw the other hotel
guests into pandemonium.
He's out! He's Quit" cried Wally.
II touched him when he was two feet
off the bag!" It was all in the dream,
but when the other members Of the
bowling team broke into the room oc-
cupied by the Schang brothers, Wally
had the strangle hold on brother
Bob and had nearly choked him black
In the face.
They had some trouble in waking
him up and making him understand
that he was not playing the great ma
tional game and that Brother Bob
was not Ty Cobb, the player he was
trying to put out at the home plate.
When Wally was thoroughly awake
he laughed foolishly at his dream
game of ball and then explained: "You
see, It was like this. We were playing

Tommy Leach Was
Not the Right Sort

Tommy Leach of the Cincin'

way theater the other night, and
stopped to gaze at the photos
in the lobby, when he noticed
stately man with blue chin
march up to the ticket window.

the stately person.

the man in the window. "You
are-ahem-you aro?"
II am the leading man for the
Lion and the Monk company"
replied the stately one, and he
walked inside.
Mr.. Leach saw and heard,
much interested. Up to the win
dow came another blue-gilled
person. Pass the profession?"
demanded he.
why, Of course" said the
ticket man, "if we know them.
You are-?"

It was too much for Mr..

Eyes, indeed, IL we know
them," said the man in the win
dow. you are"

At this moment the lobby of
the theater fell on Mr.. Leach,
and he didn't walk inside.

NY CHRISTIAN MIND.

BY w. II. FERGUSON,
Lexington, Mo.
Can a white mar be a Negro when
he has Caucasian blood pumped to his
brains from a heart which has been
given him by the Almighty God? We
have mingling withour most high
Scribes and Elders a white man whom
I have heard preach to many Chris
tians that is a friend to the Negroes.
l may speak too boldly of this white
man who is Judge Mayo of Chicago,
but If l do, Coo will forgive as l may
be a fool and a fool is not held ac-
countable for what he says or does.
| would like the reader to stop and ask
himself in a worldly way: Do we want
another Theodore Roosevelt for a
president in 1916? / do not expect
anybody who has not studied life
worldly and spiritually to see that
Judge Mayo is nothing else but a false
Christ among us. l have heard him
say that he is rich and does not need
money. / am a Christian and l feel
it my duty to warn others of any dan
ger which in years to come will aus
them to suffer by being misled. 1t
comes to me that if Judge Mayo is a
true born Christian minister of the
Gospel as l have heard him say why
there is the A. NJ. E. Zion church 1906
Woodland avenue a few hundred dol
lars in debt and there is the Ebenezer
A. M. E. church, 10th and Lydia and
| AIInn nhono1 on1 the GnaOn1 nontfgt
and st. Stephens Baptist church and
a little church at 18th and Woodland
and another near 18th and Highland
and several others that l could men,
ton in need of money and l feel if
Judge Mayo is rich and knows Gods
laws concerning a rich man and the
gates of heaven as he claims to know,
he should not talk so much about
what a friend he is to the Negro
Christians but prove it by making ar
rangements to stand good for all the
debts on church property in Kansas
City and a few other churches that
he is using to pave his way to the
presidents chair in 1916. AS far as
l am concerned it won't make much
difference who is in the White House
as I feel what the Negro churches
need is capital but we haven't time
to take such a long shot for the money
as Judge Mayo is blindly leading my
race into. If a 1.-THE Negroes who

casian capital and especially Eastern
capital and if you are well versed in
land values you will come to the con
clusion that the ratio is too great for
the Negro to bite. With peace on earth
with good will and Gods mercy on the
wrold I close my narrative with
Amen"
