Infinitivs. EearlessIv Split.

The English of Henry James Is re- markable not only for adverbs, but, like Robert Browning s, for int1nittyes fear1essly split. Most people split them by wedging in one word only, an adverb. But Henry James split one 'infnitive, at any rate, by four words
 interpolated, thus: '.I have already missed my time to so much even as name properly etc. Nor did he hesi- tate to stop upon that half of the in fnitive which closes so many wonaen's pretty phrase in accepting invitations, "Oh, thank you; I should love to-" Henry James wrote, -sVE-e can't not ae- cept this, and little enough on the whole do we want to- Can't not, ," by the way, is very common in French. and other pecu1iarities of James style also are allicisms.-LOndon Chronicle.

FORREST CADY'S
 9TH YEAR IN MAJORS

Forrest Cady, the big backstop of the champion Red Sox, will begin his fifth year in the big show tomorrow, as heSwa sold to the Sox by Newark on May !25, 1912. The giant catch CT, who figured in three of the worlds s series games last fall, has been main ly engaged in eping the bench warm in the early part of this season, but with the coming of torrid weather he will probably get more work.
 Cady was born in 1888 at the will lage of Bishop FilE, Ill.,, and in that neighborhood he was reared-tos a height of six feet and some two inch es. In 1907 Forrest yielded to a hankering to become a professi ona1 ball player and got a job with the Monmouth club. In 1908 he was given a trial by Indianapolis, but. he failed to make good with the Hoosiers, and was sent to fKewanee, near his native village. He finished the sea son with Otturnwe. In 1909 Cady landed a job with Evansville, and spent two seasons in the southern Indiana city. Evansville sold. him to Newark. where his fame as a, willing worker won for him a chance to shine in the majors.
 Cady was used in more games last year than in any previous season, and his stick work was also the best of his career as he batted .278, twenty notches above his best previous aver age. Forrest is the veteran of the Red Sox catching staff, with the ex- ception of course, of Pilot Carrigan. Chester Thomas, who has been given much work this season, joined the Red Sox the same year as Cady, having served his apprenticeship in the Cal ifornia State and Pacific Coast leagues. Agnew, secured from the St. Louis Browns, is likely to replace the veterans as Carrigan's main depen- dence behind the bat. The Red Sox haven't for years been particularly strong in the catching department. Carrigan is a much better pilot than he is a backstop, and Cady and Thomas have never ranked as stars. Both will probably go back to the minors before long.

his father, a flock of wild turkeys ap-
preached the new log cabin, and Abra-

shot through crack and killed one

Why Labor Is Scarce.

Here Is one reason which you may
have overlooked why labor is growing
scarcer every day in the United States !:
We have now in Pennsylvania alone
22o,OOO automobiles. One-third of them
are pleasure cars driven by chauf-
feurs, an army of 5000 nble-bodled
men removed entirely from produc-
tive work.
The army of pleasure car chauffeurs
in the whole country must exceed half
a million men-all nonproducers. In
deed. there is another great big army
of men building pleasure cars to be
operated by these other nonproducers
of essentials.
They used to complain in Germany
that every taxpayer had to carry sol
der on his back. We. vary It In the
United States by carrying a chauffeur
on our backs, says "Glrard" In the
Philadelphia Ledger.
