From the Very Bottom

It may be an inspiration to many a boy who thinks that he has not much of chance in this world to learn something of boy who. outward appearances go, had about slim a chance as was imaginable. In the summer of 1859 he was picked up in the streets of New York by the police He was homeless, friendless and eleven years old He had of the advantages which boys of that age are supposed to have in some degree.
 r. He was turned over to the Children's Aid Society and sent west. His next good fortune was to fall into the hands of a named John Green of Tipton Indiana. Green not a rich but he gave the boy all the chance he could, the of education and no doubt a lot of good advice which sank in He worked as a day laborer at whatever he could finG to do, always climbing. He worked his way through Yale and the Union Theological Seminary and became minister of the gospel He went to Alaska
 missionary and finally became governor of that ter ritory
 Remembering that he had been a homeless boy he cvoted much of his activities other homeless boys and altogether his life which ended only the other day was a most useful one. He was John Green Brady.
 Some people will tell us that Brady was a product of democracy, of this great and glorious country where every boy has chance to become president md where there opportunities for alI There is good deal of bunk in all if we look at it closely We find in the first place that in even this happy and there are comparatively few boys who really Succeed in rising above the common level. Many of ehem sink into the penentiaries and the poorhouses We also find that many boys from low levels to high places in England when it was less democratic than it is now, and in France when it was not demo- cratic at al There have been few forms of govern ment so bad that boy with the right kind of stuff in him coul6 not advance.
 It IS perhaps not necessary that the stuff should have been born in him. We have no reason to be- leye that Brady of this sort of superior birth We do not think that ordinarily there is much diff ference in the mental and physical gifts which are bestowed at birth. We think that the fathers were more nearly right than are apt to think when they declared that all men born equal; perhaps they were more nearly right than they thought they were. There arc of course abnormal happenings at birth deforrned chilGren deformed in body and mind But the average boy gets pretty good start so far his bodily and mental equipment is concerned
 Brady perhaps did not have it in him to make an eminent preacher but he had it in him or found it to make eminent and useful man and every other

Turn the kids loose; we'll give them @ start in ilfe,' was the telegram of forgiveness wired to California officials who held a youthful elopins pair from this county.

Richie. Newspaper critics at the ring

Richie is a fighter on the order OF

inclined to force the fighting, He is

using every minute of every round for

Gowdy will be 20 years old this sea-

He made his professional debut with
the Lancaster club OF the Ohio State
league in 1908. He began as a first
baseman.
He went to the Dallas Texas league
club in 1910 and Manager McGraw Of
the Giants grabbed him off In the mid
die OF that season, A year later he
was traded to Boston. In the mean
time, though, McGraw had transformed
Hank into a catcher, convincing the
youth that he had a greater future
