The Young Mans Fancy
BY LAURA JEAN LlBBEY

young girls he mentions or LOOKS at.
They drown his hopes concerning this
girl with a sneer and that one by snick-
ers or laughs which are decidedly
worse. 1t is most difficult matter
for his mother and sisters to discover
anyone whom they consider quite good
enough for that son and brother, the
pride and hope of the home.
Their watchful care over hiil results
generally in cornering him into marry
ing girl the family disapproves Of
taking the reins into his own hands,
wedding the girl he is in love with, al
though she hasn't a penny, or drifting
away from all desire for matrimony al
together for many years to come.
As staid old bachelors, few men ever
forget the young girl who first attract
ed their youthful fancy. The older
they grow the more eager becomes
their desire to look upon her face
again. Many a man has crossed the
breadth of the world TO visit the old
home to crafty such longing. II
she is by that time comfortably
welded, with sturdy sons and fair
daughters about her, he brushes away
a tear that no one would believe he
had tenderness of heart enough to
shed, as he signs over what might
have been. If he finds her a spinster
or buxom widow--well, haven't you
heard of the men who have gone out
into the world, made their fortunes
and come back to wed the sweetheart
Of their youth?
1t would often be best, I think, to al
low q young mans fancy to run its
course--which is love, ending In mar
riage. Men who wed late In life sell
dom have the joy of seeing their chill
dren grow to manhood and woman
hood.

young first. basemen is entirely respon-
sible for the fact that Merkle still Is
big league ball player.
Not only has McGraw stuck to Mer-
kle In spite of his failure to touch
second, but after the 1912 worlds Sc
ries, when Boston won from the Giants
through Merkle's failure to catch an
easy foul fly. McGraw again stood by
and insisted Merkle was good enough
for him. Fans have howled and laugh
ed at Merkle for those two plays. but
always McGraw has stood pat.
Merkle has indicated the judgment
of his former chief. When he perpe-
trated the first of his famous bad plays
he was only youngster and McGraw
knew that censure probably would
wreck whatever chance there was for
Merkle to show any class as first
baseman.
So. instead of harsh words, Merkle
was given encouragement. At every
slip MeGraw was ready to pat the
youngster on the back and urge him

Beautiful Falls Destroyed
To Obtain Power That win
Drive Wheels of Industry.

Ten thousand feet up in the aierras
not far from Los Angeles, Is beautiful
Silver Lake and the romantic Silver
Lake Falls, said to be one of the most
picturesque spots in southern Califor-
MIA. BY the end of this year the falls
will be no more and the waters of the
lake will be generating electric current,
which will be distributed over hundreds
of miles of territory.
For long period the lake was the
subject of litigation, the city of Los
Angeles claiming the right to its unde-
veloped power, but finally the title was
held to be vested In private corpora
ton. Now that private corporation,
the Nevada California Power company
is building a 0,000-horse-power n.y.
dro-electric plant. which will be in OPP
GRAFTON next year, and the construction
of this plant has resulted in the de-
struction of Silver Lake Falls. In
place of the falls the water viii drop
more than 1000 feet through great
pipes to turn the turbines which will
generate the electric power.
Gigantic dams. 30-inch pipes of steel
and great turbines and generators are
being constructed. The site of the
plant is SO miles from a railroad and
the company spent over $4,000 In con-
struction of road over which cater
pillar tractors, each drawing three
wagons, could transport material for
the plant. 1t takes week for each
wagon train TO make the round trip.
The plant will cost about S1.000,000.

on In his effort to live down the mis-
cue. And Merkle did 1t.
The work of this first sacker has
been prominent feature of every
one of McGraw's drives pennantward.
Merkle has been a heavy, consistent
batter and heady. dependable field
er In nearly every emergency. His slips
have been no more than players con-
sidered wonderful have made. but they
have come at time when they stood
out. No one ever has taken the trou-
BILE to proclaim his brilliant feats un-
der the same pressure. so he has been
called "bonehead."
Merkle has slipped In his hitting this
year, but the averages, for the long
number of years he has been major
Lacquer, show he has batted consistent
ly around the 800 mark. Last year
he hit just one point below that mark,
and his fielding average was $50.
Pretty fair for man called bone
head by the critical public.

that fatal day that Merkle failed to
