4 Ballad Of Chivalrv

The hearse has passed the mourners
too. Elizabeth Ann is dead,
She is lying in the graveyard now the
final word is said,
She has scrubbed and washed her final
day and all her work is through
They mourn her most sincerely and
her age was ffty-two.
She brought up seven children as 4
mother good and true,
She tended them in sickness as a good
wife ought TO do,
She began the day unrested and she
went to bed half dead;
I" She is quite a model woman, her
loving husband said.
She cleaned and swept and busted.
canned fruit and salted meat.
For sixteen hours n day she proved a
household drudge complete,
She helped him when he butchered
and she helped him when theJ
hayed
And she made the clothes and mended
them and in the kitchen stayed.
Sometimes her burdens grieved him
and worried him a while
So then he told her not to mind, to
meet life with smile,
And he carefully protected her-in his
favor you will note.
Though he let her work her heart out
he never let her vote.
Her oldest son was drinking when the
local option came;
She did not have to bear the toll of
registering her name,
She did not bear the trouble, from her
tireside forced to roam,
To cast vote on license and thus
break up her home.
She had to gather kindling, she had
to bring in wood,
She had to help pick apples and DO
everything she could,
But the ehivalry protected her, the
men were proud to note
They kept one labor from her; she
never had to vote.
She h2d an education; she had good
common sense,
She had capacity to live, affections
most intense.
She saw the loafers voting aad she
asked to have her say.
They told her she was far too weak
to share election day.
They have finished up Elizabeth Ann;
from suffrage guarded well.
A younger wife will take her place
and in her household dwell;
She s dead and gone to Heaven, at
the age of ffty-two,
Though they never let her ballot lest
she have too much to dc.

Some Hearty Eaters.

If baby had the appetite Of a
young potato beetle it would eat from
30 to 100 pounds of food every "a
hours. If horse ate as much as a
caterpillar, in proportion to its size, it
would consume ton of hay every 2I
hours. A caterpillar eats twice it's
weight of leaves every day; but 20,
tato beetle devonrs every day at least
five times its weight of foliage, every
bit of which represents lust so much
money to the farmer. The most de,
structive of all insects, however, is the
grasshopper, which, when in good
health, consumes in a day 10 times
its weight in vegetation. No wonder
that whole districts are devastated By
its mnltitudinous swarns.--Tit-B Bits.

that it could not be hauled back into

Chief t. Z. Shay said that he went
to the assistance of Davis, while he
was returning in an automobile from

squad of White Sox doesn't neces-
sariIy mean that the. youngster is go
ing to hold down that berth through
out the season, but it does begin to
look as though there will be at least
one recruit with the infield when
the season starts.
McMuIIen is highly touted, and,
though he has had only two days to
show his wares, has already made a
good impression, with the Oldsters of
the club. He fields well and handles
himself cOmpetently at bat.
Zeb Terry, the second Unfolding
recruit for the left side of the dia-
mond, also is debutting impressiveIy
His fielding is considered remarka-
BILE, putting him on a par with Buck
Weaver in that department. Wheth-
er he can hit big league pitching is
another question. Weaver has been
through the mill and is experienced
and it is probable he will be able to
fight of all corners for his position.
Sox were divided into a couple of
squads for a practice game, but it
amounted to nothing, so far as de-
termining the worth of the men is
concerned. They are not far enough
advanced to cut loose with anything
worth while and are still safeguard
ing their whips. Batting by the reg
uIars was also light, for the reason
that they were facing Jim Scott and
Joe Benz, who have had lots Of prac-
tice and opened up with an assert
ment of pUzzling bendeTs.
This is the very best kind of train
ing for the batters and will bear
fruit.

Mccarthy will probably land with
some other team in the major
leagues. Philadelphia could use him
nicely as a utility man, as the Quaker
infield is by no means strong.
Farming relations have been es-
tablished with Frank Chances Los
Angeles team by the Cubs, and some
of the castoffs may follow George
label and Bradley Hogg to that
stamping ground. California is a
fine place for young men to learn
baseball, and the big leagues are
studded with fellows who have come
from there.
George Pierce had another chance
to pitch to the regulars yesterday
and failed to last one inning, being
plentifuIly belted, and also tossing a
few wild ones. George is making a
last ditch fight this spring, and if he
does not show impressively in the
exhibition games on the trip north
he may not see Chicago this year as
a member of the Cubs.
Tinker is pIentifully supplied with
veteran twirlers and can pick and
choose in an effort to get the best of
the crop. 1t is more than likely that
not more than one recruit HEAVIER
will be carried with the club during
the coming campaign.

hopes to have Zeider in condition to
