A aoninn Battery.

On summer nights the baseball field
of the Brooklyn National league club,
in Flatbush, is turned into an open air
boxing arena, with the ring stretched
on a platform over the home plate.
AL Mccoy, who claims the middle
weight championship, was fighting
Young Ahearn, an Englishman, one
evening and was getting liberal plas-
tering from the gloyed hands of the
Briton.
1t was such a poor show that the
crowd SOON lost interest and settled
back into a deep silence.
Along about the sixth round, with
Ahearn keeping up steady lombard
ment of McCOys bleeding features, a
voice was heard inquiring:
"Wonder who're the batteries for this
game?"
out Of the hush that lay over the up
per tier of the grand stand came a
loud roar as a big fellow rose in his
seat and announced. with true umpiri-
cal effect:
"Ahearn pitchin', Mccoy catchin'!"--

Lacked a Mere Detail.

"When Irving Bachelor was run
ming a newspaper syndicate" says the
WOmans Home Companion, land pub
fishing a juvenile magazine in New
York he always sat in large porch
rocking chair before a fiat desk so
heaped with letters that every few
minutes a little epistOlary avalanche
would shoot down from it to the floor.
One day Orson Lowell, the artist, who
was a partner in the magazine, found
him in more than usually meditatiYe
mood and said TO him:
whats the matter. Irving? Got an
idea?
Yes answered Bachelor, very
slowly. "A big one. One that will make
us all rich. You know the great aux is
extinct and that there are only four
of its eggs in existence. They are
worth thousands of dollars apiece, and
a great aux itself would be priceless.
My notion is to get these eggs and
hatch 'em.
but low will you hatch them?
asked Lowell.
"'Oh,' answered Bachelor, visibly
annoyed, 1 haven't given that point
any thought yet. But it's mere de-
tail-a mere detail The plan is bound
to succeed. And it will make us all
rich"

Rouuh on the Doctor.

A certain doctor, who is, on his own
frank admission, 1.-The ugliest man in
four countless" has keen sense or
humOr. which enables him to ENJOY
many real and unconscious reflections
upon his facial deficiencies.
Once. after he had arrived too late to
succor a poor woman who had been
hurt in a factory, the local newspa-
per published an ambiguous account OF
the case, which the doctor. with grim
appreciation. preserved.
Having first described how the wo-
man had come by her injuries, the
paragraph went on to say:
Strong hopes were entertained OF
her life until the doctor arrived
but these hopes unfortunately proved
i'll founded. for the moment he showed
his face within the door the poor wo-
man fell back with gasp and ex-
Dired"

Mrs. Sullivan"
"Oh. nothing returned the excellent
old lady musingly. only / can't I'M
derstand why you don't call yourself

Arthur wanted TO explain TO her, out
the duke would not allow him to.
There's nothing to be ashamed OF
in the name of Guelph. Mrs. Sullivan,
he said gravely.
That's exactly what l say" persist

Wrong Diagnosis.

One dark night three friends were
crossing a deep, dry ravine, the banks
of which were very precipitous. As the
party had been imbibing a little too
freely, one of the three had to be as
sisted up the incline. When, thinking
him safe at the top, his friends turned
him loose he fell to the bottom. He
lay very still. and the other two, sup
posing him severely injured, rushed
down to him. AS they leaned over to
discover his condition the fallen one
exclaimed:
For heavens sake. strike match!
