Speaking of tardiness, reminds me of
one rather amusing Ito the reader) in
stance that occurred several weeks after
my debut" Having experienced what is
known in the vernacular as a "white
night" oversight one morning and was
late getting down to the Office, about an
hour think. Failing to call up by phone,
1 was debating with myself on the way
down what excuse to offer. Reaching the
office, had just stepped inside the door,
but turned back moment to return the
morning salute of friend who was pass
ing just then, still, sub-consciously cogi-
tating the question of an alibi, or whether
l should frankly explain matters and ask
forgiveness. The question in my mind,
remained a question, because just as
turned to complete the distance between
the door and my desk, was greeted with
a below of rage that reminded me very
much of the noises one hears around
circus menagerie just before feeding time.
The unintelligible below was hurled
across the room at me by Mr.. Walsh, who
demanded to know "howinell'' I got that
way, or words to that effect, sarcastically,
referring to me as the "star" reporter
whose time was his own, etc. My morti6-
cation and shame was complete. The
whole Office force was gaping at me in
my embarrassment, and while was stand
ing in indecision as to whether l should
consider myself fired, get my salary and
run, or, assume the dignity of wronged
innocence and politely tender my resigna-
ton, it was the genial character l have
attempted to picture, Mr.. Walsh, whose
anger had subsidized, and realizing some
thing of my feelings, he said in gentle
manner: "Cut it out sonny, that's the last
time. Here, go over and interview so and
So."
Rest assured, was punctual thereafter.

A BIT OF HYPNOTIC ILLUSION

Without the walls of the Mongolian yurta
the wind whistled and drove the frozen
snow sharply against the stretched felt.
Through the roar of the wind came the
sound of many voices in mingled shout
ing, wailing and laughter. l felt that in
such surroundings it would not be diff
cult to dumfound wandering nomad with
miracles. This thought had scarcely time
to fash through my mind before Tushe-
goun Dana suddenly raised his head,
looked sharply at me and said: "There is
very much unknown in Nature and skill
in using the unknown produces the mira
Gle; but the power is given to few. I
want to prove it to you"
He stood up, pushed back his sleeves,
seized his knife and strobe across to the
shepherd. "Michik, stand up" he or
dered.
When the shepherd had risen, the Lama
quickly unbottoned the mans coat and
barred his chest. Suddenly the Tushegoun
with all his force struck his knife into
the shepherds chest. The Mongol fell, all
covered with blood, splash of which 1
noticed on the yellow silk of the Lamas
coat.
'What have you done?" exclaimed.
"Be still' he whispered.
With few strokes of the knife, he
opened the MongoPs chest No more

GAME MEN NOT COMPLAINERS

Time was when "gameness" meant the
ability to take punishment, such as being
beaten to death with a club or being slow
ly toasted to death at an Indian fire, with
out showing outward signs of discomfort.
But this kind of physical stocism was
not necessarily "gameness." 1t usually
meant either cave-man ignorance or insen-
sibility
The modern Interpretation of gameness
is visible in man who never permits dis
couragement to down him. Big men, who
started life with nothing but grit and who
climbed to the top by fighting life every
inch of the way, were never known to give
cut interviews describing how they were
abused. 1t never occurred to them that
they might expect anything else but OBJ
stacles and hardship.
That is the reason they are called Big
Men.
Gameness is the result of cultivation,
and is one of the ends of modern business
education. The game merchant who will
fight on, not blindly and at random, but
with judgment and skill, and in the face
of all sorts of opposition and obstacles, is
the kind of man who gets the praise even
of his enemies.
A game dealer need not be in the den
lists chair or show his gameness in physi
cal misery. That is the old barbaric
gameness that is almost bred-out in modern
business men.
But gameness itself, while admirable, is
not the whole story of success. 1t is the
spirit that makes man endure business
hardship, quickly changing conditions,
tight money, slow sales, and that makes
him forego many legitimate pleasures just
for the joy of winning in the end. His
skill, his strategy, his judgment, all enter
into the play And these are good only as
his gameness is dependable. Columbus
sailed an uncharted sea and didn't know
where he was going. All he did know
was that in certain direction lay some
thing he wanted-the shores of another
continent, and in spite of mutiny, sickness
and threatening disaster to himself and the
lives of all about him, he only answered
Sail on!" to the daily entreaties to turn
back-Sclected.

A PROPHECY FAST BEING
FULFILLED

A vision of the future arises. see a
world where thrones have crumbled and
where kings are dust. The aristocracy of
idleness has perished from the earth.
see world without slave. Man at
last is free. Natures forces have by
science been enslaved. Lightning and
light, wind and waves, frost and flames,
and all the subtle powers of the earth and
air, are the tireless toilers for the human
race.
l see world at peace, adorned with
every form of art, with music's myriad
voices thrilled, while lips are rich with
words of love and truth; world in which
no exile sighs, no prisoner mourns; a
world on which the gibbets shadow does
not fall; a world where labor reaps its
full reward. where work and worth go
hand in hand.
see world without the beggar's out
stretched palm, the miser's heartless, stony
stare, the piteous wall of want, the livid
lips of lies, the cruel eyes of scorn.
see race without disease of flesh or
brain-shapely and fair, married harmony

"Many of the problems of society we
have not created, but they come to us even
from long, long ago. But one step at a

and ultimately the problem will be solved
not, however, by blind struggle, but by
slow, careful, deliberate, constructive joint
effort"

Batteries Quit
What Should YouDo?

The storage battery is the least un-
derstood of all automobile accessories,
says Harry Grossman of the Philadel-
phia Diamond Grid service station.
How many car drivers he asks,
actually know what to do when con-
f1onted BY battery trouble? If he gets
an unpleasant surprise in the shape of
refusal of his starter to work, the
ordinary motorist will HE to the ser
vice station to have the trouble dag
nosed. But let us suppose him miles
away from skilled assistance. A little
practical information concerning the
function of his battery would come in
handy.
1T would pay him to know the prob
able causes leading up to the trouble.
Perhaps. for example, the battery is
partly discharged, due to insufficient
charging, or one of the battery cells
has gone dead. Possibly the terminals

WORK OF THE JINX
ANNOYS THE YANKS
Huston Loses Lucky Iron
Boiler and Stoneham Wears
Pipp's Skinner by Error.

The work of the fink is seen in tho
slsidding of the Tanks for tho last few
days and the drowning out OF the Giant
batting rally yesterday. News has
reached the Yankee office that the fa-
nous iron boiler which Col. Tillinghast
L'Hommedieu Huston wore when he
swept the Yanks on to victory last year
had mysteriously disappeared
The hat was lost when Col. Huston
was boarding the Wolverine for Detroit
on his celebrated ride to stop tho West
ern debacle OF the Yanks.
It Is believed that some person con-
nected with the st. Louis Browns con-
spired with some local gamblers to steal
the lucky hat and bring disaster to tho
Yanks. Cousin Egbert Barrow has de-
tectives working on the case and an
enormous reward has been offered for
the return OF the famous boiler. Tho
reward Is said to be a Grand.
In the meantime Col Huston. hatless
and respondent, is stalled at Cleveland
and the Yanks are still slipping.
At the Polo Grounds yesterday
Charles A. Stoneham revealed the fact
that somebody had given him the hat
of Bill Pipp. the most noted jinx in
organized baseball. The hat was
switched to him at a recent social gath
ering. Mr.. Stoneham attributes yester-
days defeat and the downpour to the
malignant influence of Bill Pipp's Skim
mer. The fatal boiler was discarded
after the game.

CLEVELAND, June 1S.- An overflow
crowd estimated at moro than $1,000
persons saw the Cleveland Indians de-
feat the New York Yankees this after
noon in the opening game OF series OF
four. The score was to 2. and the
hapless Hugmen locked no better In their
seventh consecutive defeat than they did
while losing to the St. Louis Browns and
the Detroit Tigers.
The Indians forged to the front by
nicking Waite Hoyt for six hits and four
runs In the opening round. and had piled
up total of sixteen hits and nine runs
before the Yankees even threatened to
score. Hoyt gave way to George Muir
ray before the first had been completed,
but the smiling Southern collegian was
no more effective against the Indian
maulers than the blond boy wonder
from Brooklyn. Murray faded out In
favor OF pinch hitter in the eighth. and
Manly Lleweyan. another collegian. fin
ished on the hill for the Yanks.
Manager iris Speaker led the Indian
sluggers at bat with two doubles and a
single In five times at bat. Steve
O'Neill. probably the most efficient
catcher in the American League these
days. came across with two singles

three singles. Barring Jack Graney. who
drew two passes. and Stanislaus Cove
leskie. the ex-Polish spitball dispenser.
every other player in the Cleveland bat
ting order made two hits.
iCoveleskie pitched throughout for the
Tribe, and let the Yanks down with
seven hits, three of which were coupled
with an error by Covey himself in the
eighth, two runs resulting. Because of
the overflow ground rules were In force,
limiting hits into the crowd to two bases.
Cleveland ground out ave doubles, most
of them legitimate, while the Yanks
made none at all.
The Indians batted all the way around
in the first inning. and scored four runs
while driving Waite Hoyt Off the hill.
