Diaqers of Anthracite.

I'm an article in Worlds Work on
the situation In the anthracite coal
regions Guy W. Mcconnell explains
that during recent years the old type
of coal miner from Great Britain and
Germany has disappeared out of the
mines and that, 'driven into their
places by the extreme and peculiar
hardships of laboring down under the
crust of the earth. have come hordes
upon hOrdes of racial types more
physically fit to fight off the rheuma-
tism lurking in the dog hole of Il
wet chamber and less susceptible to
the prevalent miners asthma and
germs of tuberculosis. These are the
peasantry of southeastern Europe
Russia and Poland. They are the
rank and file of the anthracite field
where general conditions have grown
steadily worse" said President White
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea the other day. Sowing to the in
crease of II per cent in the cost of
living during the last few years, many
of our men are in debt to the land

SERIOUS BALL PLAYER
Frank Snyder of Cardinals Is
Greatest Catcher in Game.
Discarded New Automobile Because IL
lnterfered With Batting-SmiIed
Once When -DonIin Tried
to Get His Goat.

Frank Snyder of the Cardinals is the
greatest catcher in baseball today, bar
none. John McGraw says so, and
there are few fans who have seen Sny,
der play who will deny what McGraw
says in this case.
A little incident previous to the de-
,arture of the Cardinals on their last
trip east last fall indicates why Sny,
der is a great ball player and why
he means to stay one, says, Sporting
News. Several st. Louis ball players
had bought automobiles. Snyder hadn't
given the buzz wagons much attention,
but he finally got to thinking about it.,
so one day he took walk along au-
tomobile row in St. Louis. He hadn't
any particular intention of buying, but
just thought he would give them the
once over.
Passing show window, he saw an
automobile that struck his fancy. He
may not have known carburetor from
friction drive, but the machine had
class that even Snyder could fathom.
In he stalked, and pulling his six feet
and two inches and his A chest up to
the approaching salesman, said short
ly: How much for that automobile in

dollars. complete, with all the latest"

REGIMENT of Redheads.

Give a regiment an inspiring name
and it charges on the double-quick to
glory. The Deaths Head Hussars, the
Life Guards, the Black Watch, the
Rough Riders-one's blood tingles to
such names as to a bugle call.
Who wouldn't fight hard in the reg
iment now being recruited for Uncle
Sam as 1.-THE Redheads?'i Every man
in this new volunteer organization is
to qualify, first of all, by the fire in
his thatch. The redder his hair the
heartier his welcome.
The editor of magazine published
in the special interests of adventures
is sounding the call to colors, and red
heads are fiocking by dozens round
his CORY standard. The main point,
he contends, and we agree with him
utterly, is that the redheads ought
to be one of the best fighting units,
and one of the best known, that ever
took the field" Aye! Not only will
they take the field-when their time
comes, they will sweep 1t! Since red
is not protective celebration, this regi-
ment should be reserved for charges
against the enemy.-Collier's Weekly.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1916-07-06

and the salesman began to extol the
various advantages of the car.
THAT'S all right. I'll take her." said
Snyder shortly. "Trot her out and
show me how she runs"
Snyder learned the points of his ma
chine and ran it for a week or two.
One day he appeared at the Cardinal
ball park via street car.
Where's the automobile, Frank" a
fellow player inquired. --.z ~
Shipped her home to Texas. Can't
lead the National league in hitting and
catch good ball if I run that thing
around" was the answer. sl4@- 80
Nobody had noticed that gSnyder's
work had been affected by his auto
mobile driving, but the attitude taken
by the young catcher shows his seri-
BUSINESS of purpose. It's the something
in Snyder that wins while other play
ers fail and complain and seek alibis.
They say Frank Snyder never smiled
but once, and he seldom talks. That
smile came to his lips when Mike DON
lin tried to get his goat one day by
calling him a name no Texan takes.
It was a smile terrible to behold. That

where ideal conditions and the ideal
girl are in conjunction, are not to be
sought after, but met, Unexpectedly,
faithfully"
If, however, fate was drifting him
into the pathway of the ideal mate the
process was slow. Several weeks
passed by and Rodney was wearied of
wandering. He had about made up his
mind to write to his uncle resigning
his wandering commission and return
ing home to the old cherished and
longed-for life, when something hap
pened.
1t came with rather startling mys-
terry and abruptness. Rodney had
reached little city in state of the
middle West, and had put up at hotel
deciding with the morning to purchase
his tickets for return to his original
starting place. He put in an hour in
the lobby at cigar and reading the
evening papers. There was crowd
of new arrivals, and the clerk at the
office desk had his hands full and hur-
riedly slid across the counter the key
asked for by Rodney.
He had not yet been up to his room
and handed the key to a bellboy. Once
within the apartment he sat down at a
table, discovering there the usual out
fit OF writing and hotel paper. Rod
ney wrote fully to his uncle of his in
tentions to return, sealed the letter
and started to go to the lower floor to
mail it, when he paused.
1T is room seyenty-seven,' he heard
a tremulous feminine voice say.
This is it, miss" was the reply,
evidently by the f1oorboy.
There came a timid knock, at the
door. Rodney opened it, A beautiful
young girl, accompanied by an anx-
ious-faced lady OF middle age, stood
there. Both directed quick, agitated
chances at Rodney.
You are Mr.. West" fiuttered the
girl. and her evident distress, even
fright, almost panied Rodney, it was
so intense I'VE received your note.
If YOU will call at our home tomorrow
morning we will have the money for
YOU. provided you deliver the papers"
