Mime. ButterMy's Tale

arrived, till the room seemed full Of
dancing fairy lights as they darted this
way and that and threw themselves
against the frame that separated them
from their Princess. One moro ardent
than the rest never left his lady's side,
but settled on the cage. and thus he
comforted her:
"Hsve no fear. my dearest Princess.
The darkness - light enough for the
butterfly, and through wind and storm,
when even tho screcch owl dare not
leave its hollow in the olive tree, ]
have come to you. Your silent voice
called TO me far away in the fields
where I waited. and after braying such
dangers shall ] ever forsake you, now
that ! have found you at last?' His
voice was so sweet that the gentle
Princess gladly believed him and was
comforted. A great big fellow, vet
eran by his many scars and colors
dimmed, loudly called out:
"All this talk is very line, but how
does it help our Princess? Now, who
will volunteer with me to go and sum
mon Colonel Wasp and his troop Of
hornets? Surely he will do the bust
ness and teach these humans to let US
we'll alone!"
Prince Charming Never Left His
Lady's Side.
Many volunteered, so several flew
away, but Prince Charming never
moved from the side of his princess,
who, though separated from him by
the bars of her prison, was still close
by his side.
lie told her of his love; how through
all the days he had been waiting for
her, and now that he had found her,
never would he leave her-never
Lever-never.
The afternoon waned, the sunset lit
up the room, and still the butterfly
was on the cage by his mistress's
side.
a voice said: Light the lamp! | want
to see how many peacock moths have
come to court their lady"
A great light at once appeared, and
as if command had been given, the
brilliant lover, who alone was left
at the Princess's side, awoke, and
straightway darted toward the lamp.
Around and around he flew in an &C.
stasy of joy, quite happy again in its
radiance OF light, with no further
thought of his lady love, alone in her
dark prison.
Next morning, when her true fol-
lowers had returned with a swarm of
Policeman Hornets to arrest at least
the attention of her cruel captor, they
found their Princess dead. Alas! Poor
butterfly Alas! Prince Charmingl
They all thought she had died Of
starvation, but we know twas Prince
Charming who had broken her heart!

The Washington series which be-
gins today may be difficult one. But
after the Nationals come the Mack
men, and they should not provide
anything very tough.
When the eastern teams have fin
ished on Comiskey's playground the
White SOX must hike up to Detroit
for three games, and these battles
will be hard fought. All season the
Tigers have been finding the Row.
landites easy.
The Sox still have a chance, all
right, but cold figures do not make it
very rosy.
RowIand's team is playing pretty
fair baseball now, though it's attack
is not such healthy, punching on
sIaught as might be imagined. This
will be remedied somewhat when
Jack Fourier gets back in the game,
as 300 hitteTs are too scarce to be
spared.

they are going now they will have a
hard time finishing in the first divi-
sion, and what will happen to them
in the city series will be horrible to
contemplate.
The Cubs are batting hard in near
Iy every game and the pitchers, in
the majority of contests on the jaunt,
have pitched well enough to win. But
the fielding has been Of the very
punkest variety. Fisher has been a
frequent offender, buttering entirely
too many chances at short. thinner
man and Phelan are also acquiring
the habit.
When Zim gets off to a bad start
he remains so for at least a whole
game. Everything must break just
right for the big German or he plays
as though he didn't care.

has two more years as manager, IN
der his present contract, and will at
tempt some development of new ma
terial in hopes of landing a winner
before he gets through.
Today the Cubs wind up their sea-
sons work in Philadelphia.
In addition to a stronger infieId,
Joe Tinker could use one or two more
dependable pitchers in the closing
stages of the fight for. the Federal
league pennant. PrendeTgast, Black
and Brennan are uncertainties every
time they start. If any one of the
three hits his good day there isn't a
team in the league able to stop him.
But it is all guesswOTk with the
manager and no one of the trio is re-
liable.
Joe's Whales are only two games
from the top, though in fourth place.
The fact that the leading Newarks
will be on the road should be of some
benefit to local hopes, but Kansas
City and Pittsburgh, in second and
third places, respectively, finish at
home, as do the Whales.
Tinker needs some more evenly
distributed batting strength. Twill
ing, Flack, Mann and the catchers are
there right along with the budgeons
Westerzil is the best of the remain
der. But from the other fellows not
much assistance is received in the
long run.
Imagine the Cincinnati Reds seri-
ousIy figured as pennant contenders
and you have some idea of the topsy
turvy condition of the present Ma
tionaI league race. And the Reds are
being seriously considered. Over the
last three weeks they have played
better ball than any team in their

BOYS AND FATHERS
 AT ' BEAN SUPPER
''Fathcr" is Subject of Dr. Norris Talk, In Wlici, Lads are Urged
 'T' To Keep little Clean. ~~ ==e

About fifty boys, and perhaps half as many fathers, were in attendance last evening at the weekly "bean supper" furnished by the Women's auxiliary at the Young Mems Chris tian association building, and the af- fair was thoroughly enjoyed by all of them.
 Rev. J. I. Norris, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, made the prln- cipal talk, taking as his subject Father" and urging the boys to re- member always that the name. or title is handed down from generation to generation, and that it should be kept clean. His talk made deep impress sion on all the boys as we'll as upon the fathers.
 Mrs. Frank Thompson rendered some delightful selections on the piano, and Miss Longley of Little Rock added to the pleasure of the evening by some vocal selections which were greatly enjoyed.
