CHICAGO. April 12.-Elvin Bog
ninski had his own ideas of dis
ciplining his family, but they do not
accord with the rules laid down by
the Illinois Humane Society and the
police oficials.
Bogninski, a butcher. is under ar
rest, charged with having hung
Vincent, his 1o-year-old son, by one
arm for twelve hours, his feet an
inch from the floor. Vincent's mother
gave birth to a child the night be-
fore the boy was punished, but she
dragged herself out of bed and
pushed a chair under his feet. Her
husband, however, cursed her and
kicked the chair away. He was
threshing his son for stealing $40.
The boy, with his arm cut, terri
bly, swollen and bleeding. was cut
down by an aunt Saturday. He was
turned over to the care of the police
and physicians fear the arm may
have to be amputated. as they seem
unable to restore circulation. II is
charged that Bogninski has ruled
his family by violence and torture
for six years.

Good night! A rat is kissing

Get your feet out of my face"
Gee, that was a big rat"
These exclamations came from
a water filled trench somewhere
in France. Fhe sentinel. a mere
boy, smiled when he heard these
words. but a thought crossed his
mind and his face grew black.
Not ten minutes before a brutal
oficer had hit him with the fiat
of his sword. The thought filled
his mind and grew in volume.
When dawn came the company
next to the lads went over the
top, but they were outnumbered
and would certainly be taken
prisoners.
The men in the young boys
company begged the brutal off,
Ger to assist the outnumbered
company. but the brutal oficer
would not consent. The sentiners
face went white. In a fash he
knocked the oficer over and or
dered the men to charge over the

Dad, how long has baseball
been the national sport of the
United States?"
since about 1857. Abner
Doubleday is generally given
credit for originating the game.
and a Mr.. Cartwright was one
of the most active in improving
and establishing 1t.
when Mr.. Doubleday was in
school in Cooperstown, N. Y, in
1889. he decided that some new
game was needed to keep things
lively about town, so he started
what the boys later called base
ball.
AT first only four could play
II. Later 1t was arranged so
that six could take part. and
still later, at Mr.. Cartwright's
suggestion, the game was
changed so that eleven players
were required on each side.
There were three bases then. as
there are now. The game con-
sisted of hitting the ball and
running for a base located any
where from fifty to 100 feet
away from where the batter
stood. II the ball, after the bat
ter hit II, was caught on the
first bound. or on the fly, the
runner was out. And he was
out IL the ball, thrown by one
of the players, hit him.
In 1S45. Mr.. Cartwright, who
always took an active part in
the games, suggested that an
association of baseball players
be formed So on September 13,

was organized. At this time it

Der of players to nine on each

SHORT STORIES
OF FAMOUS MEN
IEnace Jan Paderewski.

The boys and girls were eager
to dance the folk dances, which
were a custom of Poland.
At the piano sat a 3-year-old
boy. Suddenly he began to play.
His fingers could hardly reach
the keys, but he managed to coax
a bright. cheerful tune out of the
Instrument.
While his fingers Travelled over
the keys the children danced mer-
rily, and many OF them went
home that night humming the
tune which little Ignace had
played.
Poland became proud of this
boy, who grew to be a wonderful
musician. And Paderewski was
so fond of Poland that he gave
up his music and became pre-
mier of his country when the
world war broke out.
