In the new Delaware and Hudson
station at Cooperstown. n. Y, hangs an
oil painting with an inscription that
runs thus:
MAJOR GEN. ABNER DOUBLEDAY
1Sl9-1S93
Graduated from West Point, 1872; COM
manded 18th n. Y. Civil Wa Volunteers
from Cooperstown. He originated our
National Game of Baseball, and 1t was
here in 1899 that he laid out the first base
ball diamond. So reported the special
Baseball Commission In 1907.
The decision that Abner Doubleday
was the father of baseball and that
Cooperstown was it's birthplace fol-
lowed a thorough investigation Of many
clews. The commission. which num-
bered among it's members two United
States senators and several high Off
Gals of the National and American
leagues. spent a long time in complet-
ing the research.
AT the time of the Investigation Alb
was a mining engineer at Denver, Colo.
He proved to he the only survivor
among those young Cooperstown boys
who played SO long ago in a village
field, conveniently near Greene's Sc
lect school. He reported that he saw
Doubleday mark off the lines and place
the bases and players virtually as they
are In baseball today.
The game had previously been moth
ing more than the English FOUNDERS, to
which baseball. as now known, bears as
little resemblance as drafts to chess.
Abner Doubleday, who was then twen-
ty, received his inspiration II day
while he was playing FOUNDERS, and
he lost no time in marking out a dia-
mond with a crooked stick. Later he
blocked out his new scheme on paper,
but it is interesting to remember that
he tried it first on Mother Earth.
The diamond he drew was thirty
yards square. Players, amateur and
professional, have come and gone; rule
after rule has been modified; under
hand throws and curved deliveries have
arrived; a change has come In the size
and weight of the ball. which originally
was two and one half ounces of rubber
covered with yarn and leather, weigh
ing six and one-half ounces and meas
uring ten and one-half inches In cir
conference; In the wake of the ball
have followed padded gloves, catchers'
mitts, breast pads and masks, but the
diamond of today still measures ninety
feet along each side.-Youth's Com

A CITY OF MANY SIEGES.
verdun Has Figured In Wars Since
the Time of Caesar.

The first appearance of Verdun in the
pages Of history was in the time of
Julius Caesar, who established at Vero-
dunum, as it was then called, a maya
zine for bis legions.
The Germans first attacked Verdun
in the sixth century, when the Franks
from the northwestern part of Ger
many took possession of the town. By
the famous treaty of Verdun, made on
this date in the year S43. Verdun form
ed part of the dominions Of Lothaire.
1t was taken and annexed to the Ger
man empire in $50 by Ohio l. and plac-
ed under the temporal authority of the
bishops.
Verdun surrendered to France In
1868, but vas not formally coded to
Franco until nearly a century later.
During the French revolution, in 1902,
the citizens of Verdun opened their
gates to the Prussians after q lombard
ment of a few hours. The French com
mandant committed suicide and the
revolutionary government executed a
number of others who shared the re-
sponsibility for the i%gnominious sur
render, including fourteen girls who
had offered flowers to the Prussian
monarch. The Prussians were driven
out after having held the town forty
three days.
The Teutonic hosts again swooped
down upon Verdun in 1870. Unable to
take the town by direct assault, they
invested and bombarded it, and the
French, after a brave defense, surren-
dered the fortress with 1000 men and
large stores of ammunition. Verdun
was the last place abandoned by the
Germans, the troops retiring in Septem

very handsome woman. Nothing that
has been said, no limelight that has
been shed on her, has turned her head.
She has remained natural, spontaneous,
unaffected and girlish. Her marriage
to the Viscount Maidstone was not a
matter of ambition. 1t was a love
match. While the viscount is not a
wealthy man, he has a social position
in England which is unimpeachable.
A remarkable medieval romance con-
nected with the Finches, the family
of which Viscount Maidstone is a de-
scendant, was revived by the marriage
of Miss Drexel to the yiscount.
Tradition states that many long years
ago one of the Finches sold himself to
the devil, who, when he came to claim
his bargain. took his victims heart,
hence the bloody hand in the Finches'
crest; also the name of Bleeding Heart
yard. which existed In the neighbor-
hood of Hatton garden and which was
formerly a Finch property.
One way exists whereby this bargain
with the devil can be wiped out, and it
is recorded that several members of this
family, filled with superstition, have
~endeavored to accomplish this penance.
It consists of solitary confinement for
seven years in a cell or cage at Burnley
on the Hill. Food or drink of any kind
desired is allowed, but the expiator
must not either see or speak to any
one, though he may emerge from his
prison nightly and walk within certain
prescribed limits.
1t is asserted that within living mem
DRY one member of the Finch family at
tempted to fulfill these conditions and
held out for two years, when he went
insane.

Difficulties Of Mining.

Every time a ton Of anthracite coal
and rock is hoisted from a mine an
average of eleven tons of water must
be. pumped from the mine.
1t takes about the same amount of
power to pump fresh air into a mine as
it does to hoist the coal out of it.
In some mines with long drifts the
car hauls may be as much as fifteen
miles per round trip.-National Engi-

PRESERVING the Pumpkin.

In colonial days pumpkins were par
ed, cut in thin strips of convenient size
and dried for future use in "punkin"

is one that we should initiate. Squashes
and sweet potatoes, when they show
signs of sporting, may be preserved by
the same method.-Good Housekeeping.
