The 0mniscient One

When God made the world we learn
that he made only two mortals. Yet from
from these have sprung varieties unclassi-
fled and undesirable. One variety is so
different in cerebral construction that it
may be called species. He and his kind
are of one stripe. We term them ''wise
guys" meaning fellows who know just a
little more than everybody else, superb
cially, yet are always mistaken when the
argument is accepted.
These know-alls are ready to criticise but
never are in position to be criticised, if
you accept their idea. They have too much
wisdom for us uncommon individuals. They
are sapient; they are agitators; and they
never carry their point.
There is only one remedy we would adj
wise; that is, let 'em rave, but see that
their communicating influence does not
reach the credulous, the gullible. Only
time can reach them, and correct their
foible, fault or whatever you will call it.
They are omniscient.- Reformatory Pillar.

helper" Then, and only then can
you do your best.
Only our best shall abide. The
best we can do will leave Its trace
on men and things in this world, a
trace which time cannot remove.
Nothing less than the best is
worth while. We may be busy and
careful about many things, and they
may all seem very innocent and
harmless, but if they are done in
selishness and pride, in spite and
anger, they are like the chaff which
the wind driveth away. They may
bring financial gains, worldly honors
and thrills and pleasure, bat they
are all no more than the vapor which
appeareth for little time and than
vanlsheth away" The best we can
do, however barren of material
fruits, will somehow leave it's mark
on our character, on the world, and
will be found when the leaves of
the Judgment book unfold"

NOTED VOCALIST, MISS FLORENCE
MACBETH, ENTERTAINS INMATES

The inmates will not soon forget but long re-
member the entertainment given them by Miss
Florence Macbeth, the grand opera singer, and her
accompanst, Mrs. Bliss both from Mankato
MINI. Some eight ten months ago while Miss
Macbeth was at her home visit, efforts were
made to have her come over to the institution and
give the inmates entertainment. But her
time was taken up by numerous other engage
ments at that time. Miss Macbeth could not &C
cept the invitation, although she very much wished
to do so. Her friends told us not to despair, how
ever, and we lived in hopes that the day would
soon arrive when she would let hear her sing.
That our hopes realized is evidenced by the
fact that Miss Florence Macbeth and her accom-
PIANIST. Mrs Bliss, gave that long looked-for
entertainment last Sunday in the auditorium after
the usual chapel service Not only did the in
mates delight in taking advantage of the oppor-
tunlty afforded them to hear the talented singer
and clever accOmpanist but some three hundred
people from the city of Saltwater took this oppor-
tunity of seeing and hearing Mnnesotas grand
opera singer, of whom the state may we'll be
proud.
The music critics abroad, who have heard this
talented singers wonderful voice. unhestatngly
pronounced her second Patti" Her voice
ranges from low sharp to the F sharp in alt, al
most three octaves. Her teacher. Mr.. Yeatman
Griffith convinced her that she could sing in grand
opera, and acting his advice she began studying
three years ago in order to qualify herself as an
opera singer. That she has qualified is evident
for since that time which is three years ago. Miss
Macbeth has sung in America, Italy and London,
and will make her first appearance at the Queens
hall some time during the month of June. 1t is
said that when she was between the age of four or
five years old, she showed that she had the voice
and ability singer. Under competent tutor
age, she has developed her voice to such an ex-
tent that Miss Macbeth justly deserves to be called
second Patti"
The effect of her wonderful singing upon her
audience the effect of drop of water upon
withered flower.
Many singers and entertainers of note have
from time to time, appeared here and entertained
us; but none of them received the ovation
that Miss Macbeth received from the ''boys' and
visitors present; nor has before anyone en-
tertained us whose entertainment was as thorough
ly enjoyed and appreciated.
We extend our humble but sincerest thanks to
Miss Macbeth and her accompanist, Mrs. Bliss,
and to those who made it possible for us to be so
splendidly entertained were entertained by
tn enoted singer last Sunday; would assure Miss
Macbeth that her kindness in coming over here to
entertain us is kindness that will be remembered
by all those present for many years to come.

THE REAL SUFFERERS

Of all sufferers in the world the greatest we
think are the wives of the husbands who get into
prison. While the ones left behind do not suffer
much because of poverty, the be-

give aid to the dependent ones, there is still

thrusts from unsympathetic relatives. They see
their children stunned by former playmates, and
have to wipe away the burning tears that are
forced to their childish eyes by these thoughtless
and cruel gibes of their once was' friends and
playmates. And again, they must necessarily suf

band. all the agonies that the imagination can
conceive. That their lot is painful as we'll as
distressing one is sef-evident; and our only won
der is that more of them do not become embittered
against the cause of their suffering and seek re-
lief through separation. But few take this step;
and those who show this loyal affection-ths
angelic devotion which outlives years of such suf-
fering and deprivations, are worthy of the name
for which the poet asks:
''Oh call it by some better name,
For Friendship sounds too cold,
While Love is now worldly fame
Whose shrine must be of gold;
And Passion, like the sun at noon,
That burns DER all he sees,
Awhile as warm, will set as soon
Then call it none of these.
Imagine something purer far,
More free from stain of clay
Than Friendship, Love or Passion are,
Yet human still as they;
And if thy lip, for love like this,
No mOrtai's word can Frame
Go, ask angels what it is,
And call it ~ that name.''

BASEBALL CHAT
By " Ten Spot. -

Oy Len OpOt.
The spring training period always
brings before the public eye cluster
of youngsters who are hailed as
playing understanding less, and
each club claims to possess at least
three it not more. 1t would seem,
therefore, to the casual observer,
that these wonderful young men had
been distributed among the different
clubs with absolute impartiality,
and this through-the medium of the
draft. We note that Hugh hey Je n
nings claims to have another Mathew
son, in the person of the youthful
Boehler. Pat Moran is counting on
recruit Dave Bancroft to fill Mike
Doolan's shoes. The news that comes
from the Giants camp is that not a
single bloomer has been found in
McGraw's large squad of recruits.
And so it goes with most of the
other clubs. But when the first of
June rolls around the chances are
that most, if not all, of these young
men will have been turned back to
the bush for more seasoning.' If
an even half dozen of them make
good and stay in the big circuit, it
will be termed an unusually fruit.
full season.
The Pittsburg club was the last
one to get away for the south. The
Pirates are training at Dawson
Springs KY, and Fred Clarke is
determined that the team will make
up for it's poor showing of last year.
The dopesters have it that Honus
Wagner will be switched over to
guard the first corner. If that is 81
why did Clarke sign up DOC"
Johnston, of the Cleveland Maps?
Johnston was the regular first base
man of the Maps and made splendid
record until last season when he
was on the bench a good part of the
time. Clarke hasn't said what he
will do with Wagner but did say
that he had a dandy shortstop in
Gerber, whom he bought from Col
umbus last year, and expects him to
hold down the job from the start.
Gerber got in the lineup for quite
a number of games last year ard
made a very favorable impression
with the critics around the circuit.
Another ex-Columbus player with
the Pirates who is being highly
touted is Bill Hinchman and thew
do say Bill will just about have to
tear the cover off the ball in order
to satisfy the Pittsburg fans.
Manager Herzog. of Cincinnati
says that he isn't claiming the pen
nant this time but hopes to finish
among the first four. Such finish
would be an Improvement so i'm
mense that we suspect Herzog OF
having an ace or two sequestered.
We think the Reds will be greatly
mproved team with the addition OF
two players of such we'll known
ability as Doom and Leach. The
former is one of the best catchers in
either league and Tommy Leach is a
fine outfielder. Both men are rated
as hard hitters. The team has an
oversupply of catchers IN Doom,
Clark, Gonzales and Wingo and it
is said that Herzog will convert
Wingo into an outfelder. The main
part of the pitching corps will be
formed Of Benton, Ames, Douglas
and Lear. With DOOM to watch
and assist the pitchers and Leach to
perform a like duty with the tielders.
Herzog will be relieved of big
burden and will no doubt be a

things considered the Reds should

season opens. The pitching will be
taken care of by johnson, Boehllng,
Shaw. Ayers. Harper, Gallia and
others.
All proceeds merrily at the camp
OF the Braves, and Bill James is
back in the fold. The big fellow
reported one day last week and
matters were adjusted. The general
belief is that James contract was
not changed. 1t is thought. how
ever, that if he wins certain humble
of games this year he will be given
a substantial bonus. Stallings has
some pretty fair fingers on his
payroll. They are Rudolph, Tyler,
James, Davis, Hughes CoCREHAM,
Hess and others. The team will
not be handicapped by poor pitch

ments. They have none too many
catchers-Gowdy and Whaling be-
ing the only first string performers.
The latter didn't work often after
July last year and the burden of
the work was left to Gowdy. Sher-
wood Magee hurt the tendons of his
throwing arm during recent practice,
and it is feared he will be kept out
of the game for sometime, depend
ing upon the seriousness of the in
jury. That the team will have to
work harder than last year was the
opinion expressed by Manager Stall
lings in an earnest talk with his
players.
Reports from the camp of the
Giants are very optimistic in tone.
There are some new faces in the
regular lineup, and some of the old
familiar ones have departed. At
the hot corner Hans Lobert is per-
forming prodigously. The former
Philadelphia is we'll pleased with
his new berth, and looks forward to
his best season. Manager McGraw
used his we'll known persuasive
powers to entice Pitcher w. d.
Perritt from the Feds back into the
fold of organized ball. So Perritt
makes the round trip flop. except
that he lands in different club than
the one from which he jumped.
Perritt is mighty good pitcher
and McGraw will have to give
Manager Higgins, of St Louis, his
value in players satisfactory to the
latter. This will involve two or
three men and help McGraw to trim
the Giants down to the team limit
of twenty one men. Pitcher Mar
guard is with the team having re-
pented of his hasty and ill.advised
action in accepting advanced money
from the Feds when he was firmly
bound by contract to the Giants.
President Hampstead has refunded
the fifteen hundred dollars to Messrs.
Ward, of the Brooklyn Feds.
Matters have been arranged to
retain the st. Paul club in the
American Association. Owner Len
non turns the club over to a
syndicate headed by John Norton,
and they will conduct the affairs of
the club this season, holding an
option to purchase within a certain
time. Mike Kelly has been named
as manager. This lets Bill Friel
out and as his contract had another
year to run, it is probable he was
given a satisfactory sum. Manager
Mike Immediately got busy looking
for players and has arranged with
Manager Higgins of the Cardinals,
to secure all the talent that the
latter does not need. In other words
the St. Paul club will become a
farm for the Cardinals.
