THE TRUDGE-AWAY LAD
BY JAY 8. lDEN.


So weary, so peary of running,
So weary of romping and play
The Trudge-4way Lad 10 his mother
Comes home through the brink of the dag;
The Trudge-Away Lad from his roaming
Through Trudge-A ieay meadows alarms,
By portals of loUe to discover
4 haUen IN mothers dear arms
And wonderf'ly sweet is his story
OF Trudge-Auay{ meadows so grand
Where tower the castles Of Fancy,
And wonderfA battlements stand
And patient the mother who listens
While little boy Trudge-Away tells
OF perilouS dangers attending
The rOyager through Trudge-Away dells.
Then IMlabieS sound in the erening,
Forgotten are perils l know,
And launched are the Sunderland ueSSels
That glide where the dream ripers for;
Where islands are fraated NTH Kisses,
And blossom the lilies of joy
Oh wonderfM heart of mother
Oh, wonderful Trudge-Away Boyl

REAL CHAMBER OF HORRORS
Attic In New York's Criminal Court
Building Poor Place to Spend a
Pleasant Afternoon.

Any attic is a collector of forgotten
relics as thickly enveloped in associa-
lions as in dust. But in the attic of
the normal household there is very lit
tie that is gruesome and much that
Is tender, and humorous, in its
associations. The ghosts of the past

foolish. One finds them, on rare visits
to their musty retreat, making a gen.
tie appeal to ones heart, seeking to
soften ones facial lines with gnostly
caresses, coaxing philosophical well

We dwell upon these characteristics
simply to emphasize the contrast pre-
scented by the fearsome wraiths haunt
ing the attic of the criminal courts
building. A spring housekeeping
there, the first in many years Of crime,
has discovered among the dust-gath-
ering contents a thousand suits taken
from the bodies Of murdered men,
including the clothing worn by Caesar
Young, by Stanford White and Herman
Rosenthal. There was the trunk in
which Elsie Siegel's body was found.

Perhaps 1t is not altogether fair to
call this chamber of horrors our COM

representative 1t should gather also
those more wholesome relics of peo-

PAID DEARLY FOR VANITY
How Diplomats Precious Stones
Were Levied on to Fill Out the
Lean Privy Purse.

The princeling of the comic opera
country had sent to his minister in a
far rich country the decoration of the
National Order of the Golden Goat. 1t
was a cheap trinket, plentifully
adorned with imitation jewels. But
the minister, being vain man and
prosperous, had the false stones re-
placed by real ones, and wore his
order thereafter with proper price.
Then after some years the princeling
came a-visiting to the far country.
Naturally the minister came to pay
his respects. Almost at once the
eyes of the princeling fell upon the
order with the real stones, and he sat
as one fascinated, prolonging the in
terview with idle questions and pay
ing no attention to the answers. He
was resolving a problem-for the
privy purse was leaner than usual
just then. At last he saw his way
clear to make coup.
1T is time" he said to the minis
ter. that your valuable services to
your country should receive addi-
tional recognition from your country's
prince. | hereby Che reached into a

We watched him go down the grape
arbor to the canoe, and no one spoke
but Cassion.

The general impression seems to be
that ball players have outlived their
usefulness when they pass the age
Of thirty. This, of course, is disproved
by the baseball Hans Wagner has been
playing for the Pirates this year and
for the past IL years.
Frank Schultz of the Cubs also de-
MES that players ability begins to
deteriorate when he passes the age
Of thirty, and is proving it by the game
he has been playing this year. There
are others of the same opinion. Gavvy
Cravath of the Phillies says a man
should play satisfactorily until he is
forty, if he takes care of himself.
Last season and the year before
Schultz did not play the brand of ball
Cub fans liked to see. He appeared
more Indifferent than ever, and the
impression circulated that he was slid
ing, writes Oscar C. Reichow in Chi
cago Daily News. 1t was doubtful
whether he would be one of the regu-
lars on Manager Tinker's team.
The fans, when they formed this
opinion, did not know that Schultz
was dissatisfied with his managers
and the environment and that he did
not care great deal whether school
kept or not Still, he played as well
as the average outfielder and closed
the season of 1915 with II homeruns
to his credit.
Manager Tinker was somewhat dis
turbed over Schultz when President
Weeghman took over the Cubs and
made inquiries in various quarters to
learn whether the veteran outfielder
still retained any of his skill or abil-
ity to hit. Tinker had his doubts and
was inclined to favor the younger play
ers. Besides he was not certain wheth-
er Frank would have the proper spirit
to make a winning combination. At
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1916-06-30

the opening of the season Leslie Mann
was favored, but Schultz soon showed
Tinker his mistake, and now is play
ing better than he has done for years.
Cub fans were not slow in observ-
ing that he had not gone back any
and that he really was playing better
ball for Tinker than he did for Chance,
Evers, O'Day or Bresnahan. Remarks
have been frequent this spring con-
corning his hustling, the form he
showed at the plate and the manner
in which he covered the outfield scien-
tifically with Cy Williams. The fans
have cheered and encouraged him to
drive out the long hits that made him
popular on the West side for more
than ten years. He has responded
nobly.
Schultz is surprising all his former
present gait he will finish the season
with the highest average he has ever
made in the National league. Last
year his batting figures for the first
&c games were only .228, the year be-
fore 1863, and in 1913, .219. This and
his present mark of 1857 are conclu-
sive proof that although more than
80 years old he is still good enough
to be a regular and deserves to be on
the Cub team.
Cub fans are predicting that Schultz
will have an excellent year in home
run-making this season. They believe
the right-field wall at the Cub park
will be of assistance to him. Also they
contend that he is pulling the ball as
strongly as he did in 1911, when he
led the National league with Fl home
run swats to his credit. They are
hoping that he surpasses that and the
worlds record of %, held by Buck
Freeman of Washington.

Miners 70 Have Warm Meals.

A large coal mining company has
arranged to provide warm, substantial
meals to the men working from 200
to 400 feet underground. An electric
range has been installed in one of the
lowest chambers of the mine. In this
are prepared hot lunches which are
served in an underground restaurant
at prices barely covering the cost of
the food. 1t has been found that this
not only adds to the comfort of the
men who had hitherto been compelled
to eat cold food, but it also adds to
their productive capacity. A marked
increase in the amount of coal taken
out was noted the first month after the
electric range was installed.

State Treasurer 81
Is Implicated
Walter J. Smith and Clerk in
Auditors Office Accused of
Fraud with State Funds

! A sensation was sprung at the
state capitol early in the week
when it was found that state
moneys aggregating over $685.
600 had been misappropriated
from the state treasury. R. G.
Pickit, a clerk in the state audi
tors office, made confession to
the authorities, stating that he
and Walter j. Smith, state treas
urer, had appropriated the funds
and used them for speculation.
The theft was discovered when
school board officials from Wat
onwan county arrived to secure
warrant for $4,000 which had
been drawn in favor of the dis
trict. An injunction had been
secured against the school off,
GERS by several taxpayers in the
school district. This Injunction
was dissolved recently by order
Of the court and the school board
members went to St. Paul for
the money. When they arrived
it was discovered that the war
rant had been drawn and cashed
by some other person. This led
to an immediate investigation
and a number of other irregu-
larities were disclosed showing
that more than $4,000 had been
misappropriated.
Mr.. Picket, who implicated
Mr.. Smith by his confession, is
now in the city jail at St. Paul
and Mr.. Smith who is seriously
i'll, is under surveillance at the
Gatlin institute at Minneapolis.
Mr.. Smith had handed in his
resignation to take effect at once
and A. c. Gooding of Rochester
has been appointed to take his
place.
