And the baby buds are clinging TO

Add their golden glOried praises IN

Where the mignonette is beaminS

There's a grosbeak rosy breasted in

And an oriole new-nested trills it's

STATESMEN GREAT AND
NEAR-GREAT
BY Fred Kelly.

WASHINGTON, D. c. April 30
II is doubtful If anywhere in the
entire country there could be found
another baseball fan like Tom Stout.
congressman from Montana.
Every town and hamlet has, of
course. its pet fan, who is regarded
IN his own community as the very
Than Whomest OF all fans. But
after carefully canvassing the situa-
ton. am convinced that there is
no fan so rabid in his devotion TO
his cause. and so unhappy when
missing a ball game, as Tom Stout.
He is more than a fan, he is a bug.
Certainly there is none like him in
congress.
There are plenty Of men who will
forsake all TO attend a ball game,
when the game happens to be a big
league affair. But Tom Stout will
grow excited, slam shut his desk and
break into a wild lope TO reach a
game even if il is only a back-lot
contest between two picked mines Of
small colored boys.
Last spring Tom was called to San
Francisco to make a speech dedicat-
ing the Montana building at the big
Frisco exposition. He sat down and
wrote out a speech that was really
mastery piece Of work. After
trimming it down and rehearsing it
before a couple Of admirers. he
found that the speech would occupy
about 35 minutes.
