GREAT LITTLE BALL PLAYER
Only One Thing Wrong With Mary
Ellen Was That, as a Pitcher,
She Lacked Control.

Four-year-oId Mary Ellen dearly
loves to play with her seven-year-old
brother and his little friends. To
make herself what lie labels a good
fellow" she initiates all their traits.
Now she is permitted to go with them
outside and play outside games.
And recently they have begun to
play ball. Mary Ellen's part in this
has been for the most part chasing
stray balls. But In her heart she
aspires to be pitcher. And the 9TH
err day when her mother was out in
the yard she exhibited her ability in
that line. Don't you think | pitch
good, mother?" she asked. "Why. /
throw out my leg every time l throw
the ball-just like the man did out
at the ball park"
And she did. too, every time,
though the ball went wild and landed
quite in the opposite direction from
which it had been aimed.-EXchange.

LOOKED FOR THE SUBSTANCE
Old Gentleman's Subtle Criticism of
Sermon Had in It World
of Meaning.

DIR. w. N. Prottsman was a Metho-
dist preacher in Missouri for sixty
years and in his prime was known as
the Henry Ward Beecher of Missouri.
The clergyman used to tell the story
OF his first sermon, which was preach
ed in a backwoods district in the
mountains of Virginia. He had pre-
pared an elaborate discourse and de-
livered it in what he thought was a
mastery way. After the sermon he
asked an old man in the congregation
what he thought of the effort.
I'll tell you, pason," said the old
man. 1--WE uns up here in this neck
