Connie Mack had brought in the

thing for next year. had taken down
all their names, given them uniforms
and sent them out on the field at
Shibe park to practice.
Two of the rockies were compar-
ing notes after they got on the field.
Tell me-" said one to the other,
why do they let the infield grow all
up in grass this way: the teams out
of the race, but | don't see no use
letting the ball park run down like
this. Some feller's likely to slip and
hurt himself on this grassy infield."

AIlbis Always Ready.

In India, where stealing is prac
tfced as an art by whole bands and
tribes, the thieves owe obedience to
the naik, or chief, of their tribe, who
directs most Of their operations but
usually does not engage in them. II
is his duty to prepare the alibis, and
he is always the chief witness when
one is arrested. Convictions are ma
turally hard to get, but when 1t ap-
pears that the police have evidence
against tribe, the naik will decide
which members shall surrender them
selves and plead guilty. There Is no
appeal from his decision, and it Is
usually the less expert desperadoes
who are selected as sacrificial goats
While they remain in prison their
families are well taken care of, and
their grieving wives provided with
temporary husbands.
Should these prisoners give informa-
ton to the police they had better never
return home, for certain fate awaits
them. At any rate, any of them would
rather spend his time in prison than
In manual labor.

Tyranny of Clothes Customs.

Three hundred years ago Shakes
peare GOULD make Polonius say, with
some measure of truth, that loft the
apparel doth proclaim the man." Ger
tainly this sort of proclamation has
been made less and less loft" as the
three intervening centuries have gone
by. Almost before Shakespeare laid
down his pen the doublet and hose,
the swinging mantle, the jeweled
sword and the fluted ruff Of his time
were sobered out Of existence by the
steadily growing Puritan influence. In
the age of Queen Anne the apparel
proclaimed not so much the man as
the mans tailor, remarks writer in
the Christian Science Monitor. A
century later still we have Charles
Lamb brOOding rather ENORMOUSLY
over the mystery that ''mere melan-
choly ninth Of a man." a tailor OF
Fleet street, should be able to tell
him how many buttons he would
wear ON his coat, and tell him with
an authority not to be gainsaid. Since
the time of Lamb inch by inch and
garment by garment the clothing OF
the modern man has been taken out
Of the range Of his own free control
and handed over to the tyranny OF
custom and convention.

Small Birds Form Great Colony.

Extraordinary methods are adopted
by the little society birds of South
Africa in building their nests. The
birds are no bigger than a canary, and
each pair builds mud nest of diminu-
tive size. Put thousands of them nest
in the same tree, and each year new
nest is built, until the branches are
covered. Eventually the weight of the
nest becomes too great for the tree,
and the colony falls; or all available
space is occupied and new colony
is started on a tree that is situated
nearby.
