loose, but the new drilling was too
stout.
Presently he smelled smoke. He
knew that before the draft starts
up a stack, the smoke always
drops, and fills the space below
the breeching. Duncan worked
desperately. If he had only had q
few minutes, he could have worn
a hole in the cloth by rubbing his
foot to and fro. But he did not
have a few minutes; his time was
limited to seconds.
A weird glare lighted the gloom

M. S. P. PLAYS POOR GAME
Numerous Errors and Inability to Hit at the Right Time
Lost the Game for the Locals
By J. r. s.

The Saltwater Majestics for the
second time this season defeated
the locals last Saturday in an ex-
ceptionally loosely played game by
a score of 8 to g..
Ali fans who had congregated to
witness the game had fully ex-
pected to see at least a good anna
teur game but instead the locals
handed out very poor class of
ball, the result of which was re.
sponsible for their defeat.
The visitors scored once in the
opening frame by Pauline getting

by getting three-base hit, pass
on balls and a single. In the fourth
they managed to get two more
scores on couple of singles and
one two-bagger. This ended the
locals scoring until the ninth.
Then in a ninth inning rally, after

thrown out, Speich to Hillsman.
Wells got safely on by Donahue's
Sefrer. With only one man out
and one safely on and the wreck
ing crew" coming to bat, the ex-
element among the local fans ran
up fever beyond heat. The best
Brad could do was to role an easy
grounder to Donahue which came
near to ending all agony then and
there, for Wells was forced out at
second and if Brad was not gifted
with the speed of the winds he
would have been nipped at first.
A moment later he demonstrated
to the fans what he could achieve
in stealing bases. While the pitch
er was standing in his position to
deliver the ball to the batsman,
Brad deliberately started for Sec
ond and before the pitcher could
deliver the ball Brad had again
safely reached his goal. Burn
landed on one for two stations,
scoring Brad. John got safe
hit. scoring Burn. But the best
Lohr could do at this stage of the
game was to pop up a fly to Speich,
thus causing an abrupt ending to

scored once more on two singles

scoring, which was quite sufficient
for them to walk off with the hon.

hopes, impatience, despair, his in
tense agony, and how finally the
last week of the two years his GUS
toner kept him in suspense, and
finally bought the property. His
profit was 500. 900.
The musician who lives a mar
row life, with no experience or
contact with those outside of his
own profession, does not under
stand the tremendous problems of
the world-the longings, the disap-
pointments, how hard it is to be
fair. and hardest of all, to under
stand ones self. One may spend
years trying to get what one does
not really want. And does he love
beauty and cultureg No one ad-
mires a beautiful woman more than
the business man. But she must
have that good look in her face
which tells one she would be de-
pendable and faithful to the man
she cared for. And can he make
loveg Yes. He is most interest
ing. You may be seated at din
ner table for two, with many hand
some gowns around you, which
you are ad miring, and suddenly
his eyes meet yours, whose atten-
ton he holds, and, leaning toward
the table. say to you slowly: will
you marry mes" You look quietly
at him and answer, "What do you
thinkg" And he'll say. ''That's
for you to know and for me to find
out" You say mo" slowly, and
he says slowly "Whya" and you
tell him you are never going to
marry. Then he'll say, ANY one
who talks like that hasn't any
brains" !" It,takas courage to re-
sist such an appeal.
What have l learned from the
business man2 First that he never
forgets that he is dealing with a
woman, and be he dishonest he
knows the honest man will defend
her always. One learns to see. to
feel and to fight for the things
worth while, and to know that
there is a reason for every mood.
One learns the value of money, 80

love musicg Talk business to him
out West, and if he learns that you
play or sing he will invite the
whole town to hear you, and you
Will never forget their JOY.
America is a land whose emo
tions have never been expressed,
because the business man and mu-
sician do not understand each
other. There is only one saliva
ton for America musically. It is
for the business man and musician
to become friends, and to become
friends they must become ac-
quainted with the work and ideals
of each other. How can they be
brought togetherg Through the
wife, the mother, the home, where
all culture should be developed.
Do they want to meets Yes. They
have told me so many times. This
companionship is the secret of
happiness.

HESNdNB interest in good music.
|lA-AI Musicians have been try
ing to cultivate our tastes by force,
and when they fail they blame us
for lack of information, when the
fault is really their own.
You cannot make people love
music any more than you can make
people care for one another. They
can try ever so hard, but if the
feeling is not spontaneous, the
heart not having been touched,
they can't help it.
America is told she is every
thing that is uncultured, and the
worst of it is she believes this.
Why doesn't she arise and defend
herself? Because she doesn't un-
derstand.
Musicians say art is the only
thing worth living for.
American commercialism, love
thee, for thou hast taught me the
happiness of life. Thou art the
little secret key without which !
could not steal into the hearts of
those want to know and under
stand.
Business dealings bring forth all
that is good and bad in one, for
there is always the opportunity to
be honest or dishonest, selfish or
unselfish, narrow or broadminded.
Every emotion is displayed and
studied. The very first thing a
business man notices is the mood
he has to contend with; maybe to
his advantage he will change this
mood. He may pretend to be very
angry when he is not. His eyes
see everything and he studies hu-
man nature to the detail. He
knows that no two people are
alike. A business man loves to
talk about himself, his ideals and
what he is struggling for-his
wife. his children, always. If he
is not married be hopes to be and
he likes to talk about love. He is
not sentimental or foolish, but be.
lieves in happiness and content
ment. America is the land of
dreams come true. We're it not
for the brains and executive abili.
ty of the business man this would
not be so. Can one be a real
American if he has never studied
this game of Commercialism, in
which one is a speculator, accumu-
lator or developers If one imagines
this is game of cold facts and
figures he is mistaken, The bank
er hears the pleadings and troubles
of the poor, the sorrows of the
financially distressed, the hopes of
the farmer or young business man.
the trials of the widow, and he
must be like a father and advise
them all.
The lawyer uses his imagination
and views a case from all sides. If
his client be a woman, her beauty
or ugliness must be considered. It
may make a difference with the
jury. He suffers and sympathizes
for his clients to the verge of in
sanity. Even common laborers
have hearts which feel for those
they work for, faithful and patient;
in their efforts they deserve the
helping hand of those above them,
for they have little children whom
they love.
The real estate man is a typical
American. He will tell you of the
times he was poor or of the time
when he kept grocery store, and
of a family which was so poor they
couldn't be trusted for groceries,
yet today he is a clerk working in
the Office of two members of that
family, who are now millionaires.
Or he may tell you of the time he
risked what little he had to buy an
option on a piece of property,
which he held for two years. His

his watch back into his pocket he
made his decision: he would climb
the stack again, drop down inside,
and recover his wallet.
Hand over hand, he hoisted
himself quickly. When he reached
the top, he unfastened the boat
swain's chair and laid it across the
rim. Then reversing the hook, so
that the eye hung on the inside,
he dropped the rope into the black
shaft. With one last futile look
for the missing fireman, he slide
down inside the chimney.
The stack was only twenty
eight inches in diameter, and Dun
can had none too much room. He
brushed against the sides. starting
little showers of SCOT. Ten feet
from the bottom he passed the
projecting end of a large open pipe,
called the breeching; it entered the
stack at right angles, and emptied
into it the smoke and gases from
the fire box.
At last he stood on the base
plate in three inches of SCOT. Feel
ing with his feet until they touched
the wallet, he stopped to pick it
up. Then an entirely unexpected
thing happened.
Before his fingers had come
within six inches of the bottom,
his knees brought up against the
side of the stack! 1t was as if he
we're standing in a barrel: he could
not get his hands down low enough
to reach the wallet without bend
ing his knees; and when he had
bent his knees just so far, they
struck against the unyielding iron.
The seventy dollars were only a
few inches below his fingers, but
although he tried to drop first one
shoulder than the other, and al
though he wreathed and twisted
like a contortionist, the hard,
round stack defed him.
As he stood there in the dark,
puzzling over the awkward situa-
ton, a sudden climk! climk! came
family along the vibrating iron.
In flash Duncan understood. The
fireman had returned! Although
it was somewhat early, he was
preparing to start his fire!
Soon smoke and gas would be
pouring out of the breeching, only
four feet above his head; and the
bottom of that stack would be no
place for living man. He must
get out at once.
Grasping the rope firmly, he
started to hoist himself hand over
hand. Fifty or sixty feet were a
mere tride to him. But just as his
toes felt the iron plate, something
caught the bottom of the right leg
of his overalls and pulled him
back.
Again he tried to lift himself,
and again the thing dragged him
down. His hair rose. What could
be the troubleg 1t was too dark
for him to see; but he must break
loose, or his life would pay the
forfeit. He kicked vigorously,
but in vain; he tried to reach down
to his foot; but before he could get
his hand low enough, his knees
struck against the iron.
Fighting off the panic that
threatened to paralyze him, Dun
can studied the situation. Long
experience had familiarized him
with the construction of stacks,
and he soon realized what had hap
pened. On the base plate stood q
collar of angle iron a few inches
high, over which the stack fitted
closely, and to which it was bolted.
The bolts projected on the inside,
three or four inches above the bot
tom. Duncan always bought his
overalls a size larger than he really
needed, because he liked to have

Circulars headed "Manifesto Of the

points out that the representatives Of

The circular says further "The
true aim Of this alliance of capitalstc

to bully and dominate the weak ma

1t was the worldwide struggle be-
