CASEY AT THE BAT

Casey works in Hicks general
store in a small town called Mudville.
His head is soft, but his heart is large
and foolish. When a poor woman
comes for provisions, he gives her the
stuff and pays the cash-register with
money of his own. People smile at
Casey the store clerk, but they laud
him when he becomes Casey at the
bat, making the Mudville team irwin
chile. At last comes a time when
Mudville is engaged in showdown
baseball series with Frogtown for the
county championship. Casey, Of
course, is to slug for Midwife, and
Bert, his rival for the affections of
Angevine, daughter of Blodgett, the
town squire is to pitch for Frog
town. Casey's employer, Hicks, in
order. to get money enough to bet on
this series, has robbed the mails; and
everything for him \depends upon
Casey winning. But when the decid-
ing game begins, Casey is not there.
His little niece, whom he loves dearly,
has fallen from tree, and he is sit
ting at her bedside. The whole town
begins to call for the famous batter
and at last, leaving a friend to watch

"The surprising thing" said he, sis
that there is no class in this response.
At our college the boy who is re-
garded as the best dancer was among
the very first to volunteer. As many
glee club fellows as football men are
going to the front. Athletes are no
more eager to face the cannon than

RUSSIAN PEOPLE DIVIDING.
Property Classes and Socialists Forming 9
Separate Camps.

Petrograd, Aug. S.-The political crisis
is taking new form owing to growing
tendency Of the country TO divide into
two camps. In the first are the edu-
Gated, especially landed and Industrial
classes led by members of the duma
and Moscow manufacturers, in the sec.
ond socialists OF all shades OF opinion.
The opposition between the moderate
socialists and the Bolsheviki group.
which reached its height during the
July revolt is declining because OF fear
BY both camps that the dumas indus.
trial movement aims at a counter.revo.
luton. The chief evidence Of this Is
an unofficial session OF the duma at
which the moderate progressives, com
bined with the old r-actlonaries. at
tackled the socialists and the socialistlc
policy OF the cabinet as influenced by
the councils of workmen's. soldiers and
peasants delegates.
At yesterdays session Of the duma,
all the speakers repudiated the accu
eatlon that their aim is a counter
revolution.

knowledge Finland's independence law
and has instead, issued a manifesto dis
| solving the landtag and appointing a
general election of October /, declaring
that the government. when the landtag
meets. will submit its own law regulat.
ing Russo-finnish relations.
The manifesto, which is signed by all
ten ministers, expounds the provisional
governments contention that Finland
enjoys independence only within the
limits defined by her constitution. the
essential factor Of which is the position
of the emperor and grand duke, which
has now passed to the provisional gov.
ernment The independence law, the
manifesto says, not being submitted for
the sanction of the provisional govern
ment, is unconstitutional and further
declares that the government cannot
recognize the Finnish landtag's right
arbitrarily to seize the freedom OF will
Of the coming constituent assembly"
The fate of Finland can be decided
only in agreement with the Russion peo.
pie. the manifesto declares.
The landtag is expected TO decide its
course Of action tonight. The socialist ma
jority threatens to defy the manifesto
and continue in session. while the non
socialists expect to obey II. 1t is stated
that the members of the high court
have telegraphed to Helsingfors declar.
ing that they would refuse to administer
any future landtag enactments passed
under an unconstitutional independence
law
