The Home-Run Thrill

a ba eball fan writes to his favortte
paper 10 protest against the undeServed
honors heSped upon the "slugger."
Why, he asks, should a home-run hit
ter be lionized above fast runner,
who uses both feet and brains, or O
smart pitcher, who uses both brains
and arms?
The answer is easy. The home run
Is the limit Of accomplishment In bat
ting. There is, there can be, nothing
bigger. When It comes with the bases
fun 1t is catastrophe, and there Is
enough Of the savage In all Of us to
delight In catastrophes that leave US
untouched. In some this subconscious
impulse shows itself In fomenting pol
itical revolution. Such people would
like to see o universal smashup, the
world turned inside out, Just to see
what II would be like afterward. In
the baseball devotee the home-run with
the bases full satisfies this craving.
SO far as that particular game is con-
cerned, the home-run Is the crack OF

Make Explanation Of Somewhat
LauehabIe Situation.

Old Ephraim Davis had the repu-
tation Of being the most absent mind
ed man In Chenango county. One day
he went to S on various matters
Of business. At the tailor's he bought
a new suit which he donned, asking
that hts old one be wrapped up He
then went to the national bank and
purchased bonds OF considerable value
and placed them In the breast pocket
Of his new suit After doing several
other errands he drove leisurely home.
Some time afterward he went to get
the bonds from the pocket Of bis old
suit. Natnrally. he did not find them
there. Greatly pertnrbed he put ON
his new suit and set of for s..
There he went immediately to the
bank.

er day." he began in his drawing
voice, land I put them right tn this
here pocket" His hand went up to
his coat. At q sudden rustling that
ensued an expression ludicrous In its
mixture Of shameful cedness and relief
came into the wrinkled countenance.
"And, by gosh, here they be!''
Without another word he turned ON
his heel and walked out, leaving the
bank employees convulsed with laugh.
