THE PASSING OF SUMNER
By "Optimo''

When the golden smile of summer
Has been lost in autumn's frOwn;
When the em'rald, velvet greensward
Has been turned to rusty brown;
When the balmy, silken zephyrs
That have kissed the fevered brow,
Bring no more the flowers fragrance
Through the evenings mellow glow;
When Aurora's radiant splendor
Is ecllpsed by sullen clouds;
When the fields (the harvest gathered)
Are o'erspread by hoary shrouds:
When the whisper of the South. Wind
Has assumed harsher tone;
When the storm-clouds roll in anger,
By Boreal tempest blown;
When the trees denude their branches
And the leaves have turned to gold:
Then we know the seasons passing
AS tale that has been told.

- team was secured by
way of substitution. We are posi-
tive that the locals would have
Jared no worse at the hands of the
McGovern's. The weather was
not exactly suitable for fast play
a high wind swept across the field
raising clouds of dust from the
diamond. and probably some of it
lodged in the players eyes, judg-
ing from the way the ball was
juggled at times. The wind also
made it difficult to Judge balls hit
high in the air. Errors were nu-
merous and made victory easy for
the visiting young men, for they
scored six runs in the first three
innings On a couple of scratch
singles.
Byers started to pitch for the
visitors and appeared to have his
heart set on winning this game,
because all and sundry decisions
of the umpire were anathema to
him and it didn't take the fans
very long to warm up to his line
of argument. In the meantime
the locals were taking very kindly
to his offerings so much so that
he had enough at the end of the
third stanza and substituted
Gaulette. We are constrained to
admit that the latter did very
effective work against the locals.
as he has in the past, and appears
to have their number concealed
on his person. In
ability to hit in the pinches afflicted
the NJ. S. P.s and curiously enough
it was Fan each time upon whom
devolved the duty of clearing the
bases. Fanny is the best hitter on
the team at that. In the sixth,
with two on and two down, Gaul-
ette's teasers fooled him. in the
eighth, with three on and two
down, Fanny lit on one hard and
would have easily cleaned up, but
the wind carried the ball about a
foot over the left foul line. He
then fouled out.
Wal pitched we'll for the locals,
except in the eighth. when four
hits were punched, with couple
of hit batsmen plus errors pro-
duced six runs. But for string
of errors he would have emerged
victor. We hope to see him on
the mound for the home team
again in the early future.
Delay in starting the game made
it necessary to call the game at
the end of the eighth. However
that was enough. The game by
innings:
1St:-Anderson out, Bush to
Con. Burmaster famed. Shields
muffed Lehr's easy pop. Berger
walked and stole. Lehr scored on
a passed ball. Shields boot of
Byers' tap scored Berger, but
Byers was caught stealing. Two
runs.
Fan and Bush were each pre-
sented with a pass. Ways infield
grounder forced Fan at third; then
Wag was caught mapping at first.
Lew whitfield. No runs.
2nd:-Zabel's third strike was
a passed ball. Wills poor throw
OF Rowland's grounder left both
runners safe. Dahl popped to
Bush. Alvin famed. Anderson
singled two runs across. Bur-
master sent a fly to Fan. Two
runs.
Con out, Byers to Lehrer. Brad
singled. Lee singled. A muffed
throw by Lehrer scored Brad. Viii
struck out; so did Wal. One run

and the fatlgung jour
|M ney up Nank'ou Pass,
~ beholds before him the
- magnificent spectacle, is,
naturally, on his return home,
very positive in his assertions as to
the existing and vast magnitude of
the Great Wall. He has seen it
with his own eyes, and he informs
his friends that it fully realized, if
it did not exceed, his highest ex-
pectations. Though his map does
not furnish any ideas as to the di-
mensions or condition of the vast
structure, it nevertheless contains
a line representing a length of
1900 miles similar throughout,
and the mode of representation be-
ing the same from one end to the
other it is but reasonable to
suppose the wall to be SO also.
There is perhaps to be found
among his heavier baggage brick
which he has brought with him
to substantiate his arguments, and
with this undeniable proof his non
travelling friends are finally con-
vinced. Were we willing to be
hypercritical, we might here dwell
upon the amusing anecdOte which
relates that a supply of bricks,
similar to the genuine article in all
respects except that of age, used
to be kept in the British Legation
at Pckin for the convenience of
those who had neglected to supply
themselves with these pieces of ir-
refragible evidence whilst on the
spot. Admitting, however, the
possibility of the feat Of procuring
a genuine brick from the genuine
Great Wall, and admitting, too,
that the fallacies in our travellers
arguments are the fault, not of
himself, but of those who, in the
past, have made assertions without
stopping to verify them, let us, as
a preliminary to our inquiry as to
how far such arguments are valid,
examine the history of the Great
Wall as closely as we are able by
the light of the scanty records
which have been handed down to
US to the present day.
In the thirty second year of his
reign, says the ''Kang Chem in
the portion treating of the Chin
dynasty, the Emperor Chin Shih,
proceeding (from his capital in
Shansi) to the north, met one of
his high officials named Lu, who
had Just returned from a sea vOy-
age. In the course of conversation
Lu called his Majesty's attention
to a prophecy contained in the
''t'u shu," or book of diagrams for
predicting future events, to the
effect that the cause of the over
throw of the Chin dynasty would
be the 'Hu." This, says the CON-
mentator writing by the light of
subsequent events, really referred
to Hu-Hai, who was the actual
Overthrower of the dynasty. A
different Interpretation was, how
ever, put upon the word by
the Emperor. He took HUI to
mean the Huns, or Mongolians,
and accordingly took the initiative
and dispatched Meng T'ien at the
head of 100000 soldiers to the
north to conquer the Huns, then
designated as "clamoring slaves, %

Mythical Christmas Tree
Brings Material Presents

A mythical Christmas tree, with very
material Christmas presents, will bring
all manner of good things to the Chill
dren's Industrial Home. 1t happened
like this: A member of the Homes ad-
visory board, armed with a bright idea
and a big sheet of white paper, visited
the Telegraph's art department early
in the week and asked TO have a big
Christmas tree drawn on his paper,
with blank spaces on each of the many
toys with which the tree was decorated.
Each of these blank spaces was just
sufficient for a name and with that as
basis the member of the advisory
board started forth in search OF chari-
able-inciined friends.
One wrote his name down for box
of dried peaches. another for a barrel
of potatoes, another for the carcass of
a deer-this from President Frank b.
Musser. of the Harrisburg Railways
Company. who slaughtered q PaXtans
Park buck for the purpose; still another
put his name down for apples, and an
other for clothing, and so on, until the
whole tree was filled. To-day the
pledges were made good with shipments
of the gifts to the home.
ITS this way" said the member who
had the Christmas tree idea. II knew a
lot of people wanted to give to the
home and l thought they would be glad
to do Ii in a way that would at once in
