His Double Loss,

A story Of the battle of Jutland Is
told by a chaplain of the grand fleet.
In q ship which was in the thick Of ac-
ton and was well hammered by the
enemy, many poor fellows lost the
number of their mess and many more
were sadly wounded. Among these
latter was a sailor, one of whose legs
was so much shattered and lacerated
by q splinter of shell that there was
nothing else to do but amputate 1t
above the knee.
The wounded man was practically
unconscious from loss Of blood, so the
surgeons were not able to tell him OF
their intentions of operating. Some
time later he recovered consciousness
and found himself comfortably tucked
up, with the stump dressed and ban
daged. When he learned what had
happened he broke into an agonized
cry-no, not for the Gripping he had
undergone; his cry was:
where's my leg? For 'evin's sake
find my leg, somebody! It's got all my
money in the stocking"

After the church service all the chill
dren, together with the duchess own,
were led into a neighboring WOOD,
where she told them to make nests Oh
moss, and come back to the wood after
a dinner at her house. When they did
return, to their great JOY they found
in each nest five beautiful colored
eggs, on one of them rhyme being
written.

The other children laughed and re-
peated the saying, and when the duke
came back unframed from the war,
and took away his wife and children
to their palace on the upper Rhine,
his wife set apart fund to be expend-
ed every year in giving the children

HOW UNBELIEVER SAW LIGHT
Recognized Work of God in the Beauty
and Fragrance of Flowers in
Church.

I once heard a story about q man
who was a confirmed unbeliever. His
wife. an earnest Christian, tried to
get him to attend church services, but
he stubbornly refused to enter a re-
ligious meeting Of any kind. And SO
it went for many years, until one
Easter morning his wife with tears
in her eyes begged him to go to church
with her.
Robert" she said, ST know that you
do not believe-in anything. l know
that YOU do not want to believe In
ANYTHING. But won't you come to
church this morning-just to give me
pleasure?"
And the man promised to go; prom
ised reluctantly, and though he was
an unbelieyer he did not break prom
Uses, so he went.
The church was very beautlfui thaI
Easter morning. The air was hlleo
with the perfume of many flowers, ano
ferns and palms nodded cheerily to
each other. A great bouquet of lilies
bloomed fragrantly at the mans very
elbow. and a jar Of golden-heartec
daisies smiled up at him. Everywhere
he looked there were flowers; simple
field flowers, and rarer. cultivated
ones. And the man, leaning back II
his seat, felt great peace steal ovel
him.
All through the service he sat there
quiet. And at the closing hymn NJ
took his wife's arm, and guided ne
gently down the fower-decoratet
aisle. When they were walking home
alone, under the brightness of thu
springtime sky, he suddenly spoke:
"My DEAR" he said. "this Easte
morning has done a great thing TO

keeps chap on edge and gives just
the mild exercise a player needs, in
the opinion of the famous batSman.
Iris played golf every time he could
get a chance last season. He often
motored to one Of the many Cleveland
courses just as soon as he had finished
his breakfast, negotiated the Is holes
and returned for lunch, feeling just as
fit as a fiddle and ready for strenu-
Gus afternoon at League park.
Ty Cobb, another mighty club swing
er, was a golf bug until last year,
when he was on the links but very lit
tie. Ty feared too much playing would
affect his hitting. Speaker led the
American league in batting last sea-
son. He believes that playing golf
helped him do it, and proposes to
mix golf with baseball this year.
Few managers object to their play

them advise it. Bowling, too, is

DANGER IN HARMLESS THINGS
Americans Suffer Casualties From 40

of the Heaviest Battles.

1t is bloody battle which infiicts
death or wounds upon one in every

in an army of million are away above
battle averages. Americans are so
wasteful of the most precious things
we have-human life-that they suf-
fer casualties from accidents during
every year equal to such heavy bat
tie, writes Gerard in Philadelphia
Ledger.

alleys in Gettysburg, Pa, his home
town. Many players do not care for
the big pins-they would rather shoot
at the ducks because the size and
weight Of the ball is nearer the weight
of a baseball.
Basketball and football are positive
ly under the ban for the professional
ball players. There is too much dan
ger of injury in both Of these games,
especially basketball as played by some
Of the semipro teams in the East.
Ball players themselves have come
to realize that they owe it to them
selves to sidestep all dangerous sports
during the off season. There are few
who are willing to take such chances
these days, for competition is always
keen, and unless a player reports in
fit shape to start the season there is
usually somebody else to step right
into his shoes.
