'I have never seen an umpire in my life who had as much Judgment as caterpillar climbing an electric light pole looking for food.
 Why, if an umpire stopped at a reg ular hotel the guests would mob him, the pastry cook would put arsenic in his l lemon meringue pie and the meat cook would spit him on a carving knife. They | have to slip off to a small. obscure hos telry and. disguised as human beings. 1 slip in and out of the dining room like the thieves they are.
 The question, Why is policeman? 1, is nothing when lined up beside the question of Why is an umpire? l had rather the manager of the opposing team | would umpire the games here than the l set of booby hatch inmates we have hired in this league.
 "The mystery to me is how they are able to find their way around from city | to city, but it has always been my opin- | ion that they shipped in by express with their hands tied to keep them from stealing their own tags.
 i When that guy called a balk our pitcher today the pitcher was as inno- cent as tiny baby reaching for tick | ing watch and crying Goo-Goo" "Umpires are selected from the men l tally deficient, who have grown up far | from the haunts of civilization where | they would have been locked up in idiot asylums before they reached the age where they could see a ball game. There Is not an umpire in this league who has judgment enough to tell strike from a Chopin nocturne, ball | from an olive sandwich or base hit l from a base burner stove. The only thing that an umpire is fit for Is to demonstrate the great self-control of long suffering public. who day after day
 allows them to walk out of the ball park alive'N
 From what you tell me" said Imo- gene, "I do not see how you could ev- | pect an umn"e to have good judgment " l Why" asked Andrew | "Why. it seems to nee that if he had
 good judgment he would not, be an um- pire."

seen the smallest sign Of danger. He felt sure that Peter Rabbit was the only one who had found that landing. and Peter was quite harmless. The rushes grew tall behind it and on two sides of it so that it was we'll hidden.
 So Jerry felt quite safe and quite for got that often the time to watch out sharpest is when one feels safest
 As for Peter Rabbit, he had nothing to do but talk, and so it was an easy matter for him to keep watch at the same time. He did it without really knowing that he was doing it. And it was just as well for Jerry Muslrat that he did.
 Peter was right in the midst of telling Jerry about Jimmy Skunk and Farmer Browns boy when he caught sight of what seemed nothing more than mov- ing shadow just above the tops of the rushes. Peter didn't finish what he was shadow he dumped the ground hard with his hind feet and sprang headlons in where the rushes grew thickest.
 Jerry Muskrat was sitting on his lt- tie landing. He didn't stop to ask what the trouble was. He didn't stop to look around. At the thump of Peters feet Jerry dived with a splash into the water and as he did so two feet with great hooked claws reached down and just missed him, But for Peter Rabbit some one would have had a Muskrat dinner that night, and that some one was Hooty the Owl.

Andrew" said Imogene, there is one thing about baseball which l do not un- derstand,''
 Your modesty is most becoming, said Andrew, satirically.
 Now don't make fun of me" she said. .I mean there is one more thing about baseball that I want to know.
 Every one out at the ball ground to- day seemed to be mad at that man in the blue suit who stood just back Of the man in armor The people in the stands and the man on the field were all quar- reling with him. Is he the man they work foro Does he own the place where they play?'
 ''No darling" said Andrew, "he just thinks he does. He works for wages. He is the umpire
 Then if he is so unsatisfactory why don't they discharge him and get an- other?"
 Heaven only knows," exclaimed An drew. They are all like that We never would have lost that game in the world if it hadn't been for that con genital idiot with both mental and op- tical strabisnus Any man who could see an inflated balloon | at five feet could see that our man was safe on that squeeze play in the eighth.
 There has not been an umpire here this season who has not had it in for the home team. That guys decisions on balls and strikes today were highway robbery. arson, murder, and theft from the person.

TS and FEATURES FOR WOMEN
MRS. BAKER WARNS SUFFS NOT TO BE
 OVER-CONFIDENT
By Associated Press


 San Francisco, June 2S.-Woman suf- frage advocates at a luncheon given to- day to democratic women by the San Francisco branch of the Civic Center were warned against overconfidence by Mrs. Abbey Scott Baker of the national women's party.
 Although elated over the action of Ten nessee's governor in calling a special ses- sion of the legislature for August 9. Mrs. Baker warned her audience that the fight for ratification of the woman sui frage amendment could not be counted won until the final vote is taken Women workers arranged to call next Thursday upon the Tennessee delegation here and urge necessity for favorable action in Tennessee.
 Mrs. Baker also scored "wanton delay of governors of Vermont and Connecti- cut in calling special sessions of their legislatures to consider the womens amendment.

Peter Rabbit sat among the rushes on the shore of the Laughing Brook where it enters the Smiling Pool and watched Jerry Muskrat work. Jerry was build ing a little landing of rushes and mud He had it almost finished. It was a little landing, just big enough for Jerry to be able to dive from it into water deep enough to cover him completely and enable him to reach still deeper water without showing himself.
 Now, you know Peter Rabbit doesn't like work. The only work he does is cutting little paths through the dear Old Briar-patch. and he wouldn't cut these if he didn't have to in order to get about. No, Peter doesn't like work He is too happy-go-lucky. He would rather be uncomfortable than do a lit tie work to make himself comfortable, and there are many people like him. Queer how people can be like that, isn't it?
 But Jerry Muskrat is just the oppo- site. Jerry likes to work because he likes to enjoy the things which result from work. Not that Jerry wants to work all the time. Oh my, no. No in- deed Jerry is as fond of playing and of visiting his friends as any one I know. But Jerry is too wise to waste time wishing for thing he can get by working for it. He isn't lazy. There 1SH | d lazy bone III niD1.
 So all the time he was gossiping there by his little landing he was working, while Peter Rabbit sat in idleness. Jerry would disappear under water. Presently he would pop up with bit of sod or mud to add to that little land ing, and while he put it where it was most needed he gossiped with Peterf
 Now Jerry was doing two things at Jonce-working and talking. Some folks can talk while they work and not let one thing interfere with the other You see all the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. the Smiling Pool and the Old Pasture are taught to do two things at once from the time they are big enough to learn at all They are taught that whatever else they may be doing, working or playing. they must at all times keep watch for danger.
 But to do three things at the same time is more than most folks can ac- complish. It was so with Jerry He could work and keep watch. He could work and gossip. But he couldn't work and gossip and keep watch all at the same time. So Jerry didn't keep watch Tn the first place it didn't seem neces- sary. Not since he had begun the building of that little landing had Jerry

Decatur, June 2s.-(Special)-A pub liz library may be established soon in Morgan county. following an appeal to the citizens to request the board of revenue to appropriate s5.000 or less for tie library.
