There Is a little Of the "giTeupa'

according to Mordecai Brown, mana
ger Of the ball club. The club has
been unable to deliver up a first
class lineup Of players because there
are NO good ones on the market, IN.
less a manager can flash a lot Of
dough. Mordecai says:
"You can't buy ball players for q
fifty.cent piece any more. Il the
knockers would come through with
the coin and try to help instead Of
kicking, We would be In first place
right now. Every club in the country
Is hanging on to It's good players, and
they are not giving q thing away.
Last year, with a poor team, the fans
stood by Us nobly. A little Of that
spirit back Of the present team would
work wonders"

SLIPS BY FAMOUS AUTHORS
Humorous to Record, but Detract Lit
tie From the Stories as
They Are Read.

The British minister of education
points out some mistakes that he has
come across in books. One of them
runs through "Ivanhoe," where the
Normans and SaXonS are represented
as two distinct races. The fact is that
at the time with which the story deals
marriage between the two races had
gone so far that Norman could hardly
be told from Saxon; but Sir Walter
Scott did not realize this until the story
was set up in type, and so the famous
novel appears with this blunder right
through it. Another mistake was made
by Mrs. Humphrey Ward, who in one
Of her books made two people take
chairs in Kensington gardens in the
first week in October, though all chairs
are removed from the gardens on Sep
TENDER 80. Charles Kingsley makes
John "Brumblecome" recite a prayer
from the prayer book long before the
time the prayer was put in; the poet
Pope makes a weasel eat corn, which
weasel never does; and likewise in
'Don Quixote" the merry Cervantes
makes one of his parties at a tavern
eat two suppers in one night. The life
of novelist is full of trouble, but such
little things do not seem to matter
greatly. We would rather have the
stories with all their mistakes than
have the dull facts without the stories.

In constantinopIe Streets.

Procession of all kinds are to be
found in the streets of STEAMBOAT, and
with no traffic regulations it is diff
cult to make much Roadway. In "The
Daily Pageant of STEAMBOAT" in the
Travel Magazine, Miss Lucy Garrett
finds herself in mixed society. I'm
company with a large drove of-tur-
keys, we take our way along the broad
straight street, lined on either hand
with shops. Presently the turkeys get
into difficulties with a file Of hamals
bearing on their Atlas-like shoulders
piles of bedding and CuriOusly dec
grated chests and Golfers. These bales
and chests constitute the wedding
trOusseau and 'plenishing' Of Turk
ish bride" The turkeys are soon re-
marshaled to be dispersed many times
before they are finally landed safely
near the great mosque where they are
to be sold in celebration Of a Moslem
festival.

KAFRISTANS A WARLIKE RACE
Hereditary Foes of Afghans, Their
Chief Form of Diversion Is
in MurderoUs Forays.

Adjoining Afghanistan, and now IN
der the same government, is Kafristan,
a hilly country inhabited by primitive
but most interesting people. Like the
Afghans, they are warlike and hos
pitable, but perhaps owing to the
abundance of vines in the country, are
great wine bibbers. Hitherto they
have been the hereditary enemies Of
the Afghans, and still the raids and
fOrays on peaceful Afghan villages are
regarded as the choicest form of
sport.
The gatherings of young warriors for
an attack on the Afghans are the &C.
casion of all-night revels, and a selec-
ton is made of the most promising
volunteers, an exchange says. The
raid lasts about a fortnight, and on
its return the party kindles bonfres
on a hilltop to announce its arrival.
On seeing the beacon the whole neigh
borhoOd fiOcks to the spot, and who
ever has killed a Mussulman is car
ried shoulder high to the village, where
dancing and festivities are carried on
in celebration Of his feat. He who
can boast of no victim is treated as
an outcast and his fellow villagers
give him food over their shoulders.

Happiness in GIadness.

BE glad! When you have said all
there is to say about life's sorrow,
disappointment and pain, about the
selfshness and wrong that sweep over
the earth like shadows, about the
shortness of its days and the certainty
of its nights, it still remains blessedly
true that the universe is thrilling with
the song Of gladness," says a helpful
writer.
BE glad for the beauty Of the
springtime, the blue of the skies, the
music of the birds and the glory of
the sunsets. Listen to the laughter
Of the little children, answer to the
handclasp of friendship, grow warm
in the IOvelight Of countless happy
homes and be sure that somewhere
over and above all is a great Love that
makes all these things possible"
The secret of happiness lies in your
own attitude toward life.-OrisOn

Told of the Famous.

In his book, "The End of the Chap
ter" Mr.. Shaw Leslie tells the follow
ing story:
"AIy grandfather witnessed an effec-
tive piece of play in the house of COM
mons during duel between Disraeli
and Gladstone. During a heated flight
Of oratory Gladstone upset some pens
on the table between them. Disraeli
rose, and, after calling attention to
the fact, slowly replaced them one by
one. The effect Of GladstOne's speech
was lost by the time Disraeli had fin
ished."
Speaking of Dickens and Thackeray,
Mr.. Leslie says:
"AIy grandmother recalled the ludi-
crOus incident which brought them to-
gether. As they both left the Athe-
naeum, unknown to each other they
seized the same hat. The effect was
IudicrOus enough to appeal even to
professional humorists, and they shook
hands,"

Don't Try to Remove EreckIes.

Freckles can be removed, but, as
the Journal of the American Medical
association says, ''the effect is only
temporary at best, and usually not
worth the irritation and effort that it
costs"
The method is to apply solutions of
mercuric chloride in a strength of from
