Advent OF Number Of Personages
Who Won Distinction.

During 1900 occurred the births of
more distinguished persons than In

Is. of course, just possible, though
not at all likely, that during one of
the last few years of the century
there may have been born children

1909, but all probabilities are against
1t. 1t would be truly marvellous should
any one of those years have brought
into being celebrities whose names
shall one day rank with those of the
Americans Lincoln, Poe and Holmes I;

craftsmanship, literature music and
science that must remain unparalleled

HIS UNHAPPY Time
When Father Pays for Good
Things He Has Had.
Shadows Upon Life Are Not Always
Caused by Financial Affairs
Health Specialist Occasionally
Gets Busy.

Speaking about the influence of
money on human happiness, and the
fact that the lasting pleasures of life
are totally unassociated with money,
father is a very good example of the
latter premise, writes Glenn NJ. Far
ley In the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Fathers very special health specialist
has forbidden him to smoke his pipe
before midday, and the pleasure of
life has completely vanished from all
his forenoons. More than that, father
has been a prodigious feeder all his
life, with emphasis at the breakfast
hour, and the S. h. s. has cut off the
breakfast at one fell stroke, ard per-
mitted him to partake of milk only at
that hour. Hence we have n sad, de-
pressed, peevish person masquerading
as father, until the stroke of high
noon; then there are large eats and
much scratching of matches and volu-
minous clouds of smoke. His morn
ings are HI, and his afternoons are
heaven, says father, and one can well
believe him; these clouds and shadows
upon life, one observes, have nothing
to do with money. But doesn't it pass
belief what little thing can alter
the whole color of mans life, and cast
him from a condition of comparative
pleasure into the slough of despond?
However, these little breaks in the
regular habit of the individual seem to
be hygienically necessary. A man may,
of course, mistreat himself shamefully.
and still contrive to be up and around;
but nobody cares to barely drag out an
existence. Consider how many bales
of tobacco father must have absorbed
In perhaps forty years of uninterrupt-
ed pipe pulling! The health sharp
comes along and tells him that he has
enough surplus nicotine in his system
to start tobacco factory. And be-
sides this there are about the same
number of years given over to the in
diligence of a farmhand's appetite
without the farmhand's exercise. Fa-
thcr will put away meal that would
make (. h. Jealous, and then ride
down town and sit in an office chair
all day! He will stand this for 30 or
40 years and then complain that he Is
not feeling just right and he wonders
what Is the matter with him!
When we come to consider father
we recognize, at once, that he ought
to have a guardian. There is where
the very special health specialist
comes in. He steps in and takes fa-
TIERS breakfast and his pipe away
from him, and It Is stand-off If he does
not also take his lunch and his din
ner away from him before his rigorous
course is completed. And when all Is
done, father is either stepping high.
like n blind horse, and feeling his
oats. or the boys around the office are
chipping In to buy him wreath. 1t is
a long chance, but he has to take it.
Having enjoyed his own fiat-headed
and entirely erroneous way for 40
years, II is high time somebody was
stepping in and telling him what to do.
The great mistake. with most human
beings, is that their parents stop
spanking them too early in life.

WHICH is CRUs0E'S ISLAND?
the Claims Made by Adherents Of
Juan Fernandez.

For many years Juan Fernandez, a
Chilean island Off the eastern coast Of
South America, was known as CRU
soe's island. because another adven-
turer had spent five years there in
solitude, and 1t was thought for some
time that Defoe had recorded this
hermit's experience. But following
Crusoe's directions that he landed on
an island in latitude Of IL degrees

and In sight OF the Island Of Trinidad,

the only one answering the descrp-
tion.
An interesting discovery which
gave prominence tn Tobago as the
real Crusoe's island occurred some
yenrs ago. when the skeleton Of a
goat was unearthed In cave on the
island. This coincded remarkably
with Crusoe's statement that he
found dying goat in hillside cave
and later buried 1t there. "Crusoe's
goat" became for time an object Of
great popular interest and figured as
prominent exhibit at the Chicago
Worlds fair.
Tobago's failure to obtain greater
recognition Of its Importance as the
"only authentic Robinson Crusoe
island" is doubtless due to the fact
that II is a retiring little island, con-
cerned chiefly with its plantations and
trade. Leaving Crusoe out altogether,
Tobago has had an eventful history.
from the time 1t was discovered by Co.
lumbus, on his third voyage, until Eng
land took 1t from France in 1903, and

TENANT RACES
 HARD CONTESTS

NEW YORK, Sept. s. -. The pen nant races in the National and Amer ican leagues frightened up another notch as result of today's games.
 In the senior circuit, the Cincinnati Reds, who are setting the pace, were idle, while Brooklyn, in second place, defeated Philadelphia and New York, in thirG pace, wen two games from Boston. The Superbas' victory put them in tie with Cincinnati so far as games are concerned, but the Reds have a lead of four points. The Giants double victory over the Braves enabled New York to gain four points on Brooklyn and seven on Cincinnati. In games, the Giants are one and one half behind Cincinnati and Brooklyn.
 Cleveland and New York did not play in the American league, while Chicago defeated St. Louis and there by gained three points on the first. and second teams. As result there are only II points Cleveland in firts place and Chicago in third place. The Indians have a half-game lead over the Yankees and the latter have the same advantage over the White SoX. The final inter-sectional series of the season opens in both leagues tomor- row.
 Cincinnati in theI National league and New York in the American league have the hardest work cut out for them among the contenders. The real test for the Reds will come next week when Manager Moran's team will face the Superbas in Brooklyn for three games and then come to New York for four games with the Giants. The Yankees also will be obliged to meet their nearest competitors Cleveland and Chicago-on foreign soil. The New York team will start under decided disadvantage because of the accident to Ping Bodie, who fractured his ankle in the exhibition game at Pittsburgh today and be- cause the Yankee owners have decid- ed not to use Pitcher Carl Mays in the Cleveland series.
 Duffy Lewis. the regular left fielder, has not entirely recovered from an injury to his leg. It is believed that Sam Wick, utility outfielder, will be pressed into active service to take Bodies place.
