The National League umpires are going to enforce the new pitching rules to the letter. The use of resin will not be permitted. Boxnen can not thust their fingers into hip pockets where this foreign substance formerly

First Failures Not Fatal.

How often have we heard people

emily at certain pointsi And, though
we could see that they thought they
meant what they said, we understood
that they did not mean II very serI
ously. and that second chance at life
would probably not yield a much bet
ter result than the first one had. AZ
matter of fact not many of us have
made such fatal mistakes in life that
we have not had hundreds of second
chances of overcoming very largely
the handicap and disadvantage that
they brought us. Indeed, the pathway
Of life for every man OF us Is strewn
with second chances and new opportu-
mites Of making good. There Is this
to be said, however: second chance
may be little harder to realize on
than first one would have been. But
to say that thing is hard Is not to
say anything about its possibility. A
drst mistake or first failure may be
bad, but does not decide life unless
We let it.-Montreal Family Herald.

SEVERITY ~ THIS PEMAncE
sinds Pitursms Make Long Journeys
With Most Extraordinary Method
Of Cocomotion.

An extraordinary Indian peniten-
tial pilgrimage takes place every
year, invariably OH Tuesday, usually
in the first half of May. The penance
consists in the Hindu penitent's
measuring, his length on the ground
from his home to the temple, often a
distance of many miles.
The penitent throws himself on the
ground at full length, and with a pots
herd or stone, makes mark within
reach of his fingers. Upon getting up
he sets his feet on the mark, repeats
the process. continuing to do this, with
alternate rising and prostration, to the
end of his journey.
The dress worn during the pilgrim
age is exceedingly scanty, as the pill
grimage takes place during the hot
test season of the year. If the journey
is likely to take two or three days.
the penitent may halt at night for
food and rest, in which case he sets
up some mark to show where he left
the road, and resumes his journey
from that point on the morrow. Only
men are permitted to perform the
penance, but women and children are
allowed to accompany them on foot,
supplying them with food and tanning
them with punkahs made of palm
leaves.
Upon arriving at their goal the peni-
tents present their offerings In money
or kind to the attendant priests, who
utter q few words Of benediction.
Every few years there are deaths from
exhaustion and exposure during the
pilgrimage, but the enthusiasts are
never deterred.-Detroit News.

GREATEST OF ALL VIRTUES
Gratitude Means Recognition Of
Amount Of Good Which Has Been
Bestowed by Others.


Gratitude means that memory has
come to the aid Of purpose, and that
praise is reinforcing prayer Graft.
tude links the past with the future. the
debt incurred with the duty to be per-
formed. the service received with the
service rendered. The question,
"What ought we to do for others7"
cannot receive a proper answer until
pains have been taken to weigh and
value all that others have already
done for us. Benevolence Is largely
an affair of memory and of the graft.
tude that memory inspires. The
benevolence that Is most beneficent
does not begin, as some mOralists seem
to think. In a desire to do good to
other people, but In adequate recogni.
tOn Of the enormous amount Of good
which other people have done to our.
selves. Nine-tenths Of what we have
to give 10 a gift bestowed upon Us,
and only when this is realized does
altruism rest upon Its proper ground,
or feel the full force Of the motives
which impel the individual to the
service Of others. Divorced from
gratitude. all the social virtues would
shrivel.-L. p. Jacks.

Coincident with the general drop
in high prices is the opinion of sew
eral tobacconists of Memphis that all
forms Of tobacco will be sold at the
prewar prices within short time.
Within the last few weeks there
have been several new brands OF
cigarets, cigars and chewing tobacco
placed on the national market and
except in n few instances these new
brands have met with favor, Prob
ably more through their price than
through their quality. The smoker
has been waiting anxiously this drop
in the price of the weed. the dealers
say and a general lowering OF prices
bids fair to come soon.
1920 Crop Large.
The reason for this prediction is
that wages have been lowered to a
certain extent plus one OF the largest
and best crops that has been pro-
duced in many years. A year ago the
bottom dropped out" of the to-
bacco' market and in the BLACK
Patch" where the cheaper but
stronger type of the weed is grown,
tobacco sold over the loose leaf
floor for as low as II and 18 cents
pound for good leaf. A month
previous to that time the same to-
bacco had been selling for 40 and AZ
| cents a pound.
