Memphis Loses Third Player.

The Memphis club lost it's third play
er to the army since the season opened
when Pitcher Bill Thweat was called
to service. He was a y%oungster who
had been picked up in Mississippi, and
he looked like a good prospect. He
was twenty-five years of age, stood 6
feet and 5 inches high in his socks, and
weighed over 200 pounds. He should
make some soldier.

SPEAKERS GREAT FEAT.

One 1918 performance that
seems to be a record breaker Is
the making Of two unassisted
double plays in one season by an
outfelder, said outfelder being
the worlds greatest-Tristram
e. Speaker.
To make two unassisted
double plays in one game is go
ing some, too.
Dick Hoblitzel turned this
trick when he was with Cincin-
natl in a game with Philadelphia.
Pop Arson did the same thing
for Chicago against Brooklyn in
1891.

CARRY YOUR WAR BURDEN ON
YOUR HEART.

If any mar here or elsewhere can
show me any way by which we can
make peace without betraying the
great and sacred cause for which we
entered the war, and for which so
many millions have sacrificed them
selves, to him will I listen gladly,
gratefully, thanking God for the light
that he has given me. Short of that,
mere peace talk is undermining the
fiber and morale of the nation.
There has been only one success
full Food Controller in the history of
the world, the One Who made five
loaves and two fishes feed the null
titude. Then you could have faced
the worst, even if the Sea of Galilee
were throbbing with submarines.
The way to carry any great pur-
pose is not on your shoulders, but
in your heart. Garry it on your
backs, and it will gradually wear you
down. Garry it in your hearts, and
it will lift you along.-Lloyd George.

SEVEN AGES OF MAN.
(From "As You Like It.")

All the worlds a stage.
And all the men and women merely
players:
They have their exits and their en-
frances,
And n man in his prime plays many
parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first
the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurses
arms.
Then the whining school-boy with his
satchel,
And shining morning face, creeping
like a snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the
lover,
Signing like furnace, with a woeful
ballad
Made to his mistress eyebrow. Then
a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded
like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick
in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
GFeA Ill the mouth. And
then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon
lined,
With eyes severe, and beard of for
NAL cut,
Full of wise saws and modern in
stances;
And so he plays his part; the sixth
age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose, and pouch
on side;
His youthful hose, we'll saved, a world
too wide
For his shrunkt shank: and his big
manly voice,
Turning again towards childish treb-
lie, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last
scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful his
tory,
Is second childishness and mere OBJ
livion,-
Sans teeth; sans eye, sans taste, sans
everything. Shakespeare.

ROMANCE.
By DR.. Frank Crane.

Wonder is what I want, not know
ledge; adventure, lot safety; risk.
not gain. We are all hungry for ro-
nance, whether we be young or old.
Il am convinced" wrote Thoreau.
that to maintain ones self on t.1is
earth is not q hardship, but a pas
time, if we will live simply and wise
ly; as the pursuits of simpler nations
are still the sports of the more arti-
ficial.'
Success is sad. Most successful
men I have met are boresome. They
have been. They are caIcined with
the past. They seem to have little
present and no future. The inter
estlng crowd r the bright-eyed fell
lows who are playing the game. They
are living. And the most interesting
thing about life is living. They are
full of the future which is fascinat-
ing. They are surprised daily.
Danger? Men flee clubdom for
danger, and court it in the jungles of
Africa or the trenches of France.
Danger is the eternal lure of the sea.
The most attractive thing about a
ship is that it may sink. The unknown
is the country of the soul. The known
is a pitiful dry spot. Everybody hates
his home town.
We love this old world because it
is such a clever conjurer, always pull
ling rabbits out of hats and bowls of
goldfish from handkerchiefs. We
seize the newspaper to see what is
the last trick. We expect the unex-
pected. All the world wakes up ev-
cry morning crying "What next?"
Just to live is great sport to those
who know enough to play.
"How you begin, not how you end,
is the thing that matters" says r. l..
Stevenson. ut is not safety nor sue
cess, but romance that makes for hap
piness. Success is the abstract phil
osophy of life; is the con-
crete enjoyment of living"
Define life bravely! Dare to be
happyi If we must die let us die
young! Be children, all of you, be
children! God save us from an ell
derby, respectable world! Be chill
uren and learn now to play. For, it
you don't, 0 are lost, lost forever.
For, except We become as little chill
dren We cannot see the kingdom and
in no wise shall enter in.
Romance for me. I hate realism.
Tradition is richer than history, for
history tells what happens, while ira
dition tells what ought to have hap
pened. Give me romance, a fat novel,
like The Count of Monte Cristo, a ran
dom and impossible yarn, and a
warm chair, and a feeling that I
ought to go to bed, and a drunken de-
sire to read on and on-what bliss
can exceed such delicious dissipa-
ton? What naughtiness so luxuri-

CHILD PATRIOTS.

There is a. great deal of talk about
the need of teaching patriotism in
the schools. Germany, so we tell our
selves, learned this long ago as part
of preparedness for national action.
So now, though almost afraid that we
are learning nj lesson too late, we
are r~eorganizing our schools, weed
ing out disloyal teachers, and includ-
ing in our curriculum this great new
study, love of country. = = We
have jOked a great deal about the
modern child's bringing up its par
ents; we are now seeing it happen.
The child who goes from school with
a simple passionate belief that an
Americans whole duty is to help Am
erica win the war brings to bear up
on any doubts in his parents mind,
upon any t%ortuous pro-Ge1man rea-
soning there. a battery of innocence
and fervor that clears out the enemy
as a victorious charge of our boys in
France clears the Huns trenches.
The child who assumes as a matter
of course that his beloved parents
must be burning with his same fire,
sets up, all u~nconsciously, before
them an ideal of themselves which
they will hesitate long before de-
stroying. America has always wor-
SHIPPED her children-sometimes spoil
ed them, so our critics said. Now ov-
er all the land they are working to
defend their mother. Almost as NOV
ing al the thoughts of soldiers and
Red Cross nurses owe there is the
thought of Boy Scouts drilling here
and little girls learning to knit. Let
US of the older generations be warn
ed. The youngest generations, beau
tiful, strong and generous, press be-
hind us cheering and waving the flag.
We must live up to their ideals of
patriotism and service; we must new
er undergo the ignoble shame of fail
ing to be the Americans hey think
we are.-Harrison Rhodes of The Wig
ilanteS.
