Courtesy

TTOW one appreciates courtesy!
It may be expressed in ones
- u opening of a door. in smil-
ing "Thank you," In the gracious
doing of a commonplace duty. or in
listening with interest to another's
views. Courtesy includes Difference
and respectfulness. Yet. Is there not
something more than Difference and
respect involved in genuine court
esy? Indeed there Is. It Is love for
mankind. Henry Drummond has
spoken Of courtesy as "love in little
things"
II one truly loves. does he not ex-
press that love in even his least con-
tact with others-in thoughtfulness
for others. in deeds Of kindness. In
little helpful acts, all Of which con-
stitute what we are pleased to call
courtesy?

which must include courtesy, found
in the respect with which one treats
others?
All Of Gods children express
equally His infinite love. Hence God
loves all, and forever expresses
through men His universal goodness
and love. All men are in reality the
children Of God, subject to His love
and care. When this is compre-
hended, one is enabled to look
through and beyond the false sense
Of personality, differences In social
standing, education, and race, and
to see and love the man Of Gods
creation.
Such q one will always be found
manifesting loving thoughtfulness,
consideration, and kindness to all,
even In the least of human affairs
In that expression of true culture
which IL known as courtesy. And
need we add that he who includes
all In his bestowal of courtesy has,
glimpsed the love which character.

The dictionary defines courtesy"

But what, then, is the source Of in

SOME DOUBT AS TO
STATUS OF CLUBS

According to reports received in
Easton, nothing in the way of baseball
arrangements for next season can be
made before the meeting of the major
and minor leagues next month, accord
ing to orders issued from Judge Lam
dis.
The Judge, who is the last word in
the baseball world, has issued an order
Withholding approval of new working
agreements with minor league clubs
until he meeting next month. This
order has aroused the curiosity of the
baseball fans. They surmise much
might be meant by this order. If it
means that such agreements are ban
ned the smaller leagues will have diff
ficulty to continue operations.
Nearly all the clubs in the Eastern
Shore League have been aided by the
majors. At the close of each season
the major clubs take their pick from
their offspring and send prospects
higher. Easton lost several players
from its list of last year. Savage is
reported going to Norfolk, while one
or two others will find berths in high
er leagues. Of course they must
make good, but judging from the quail
ity of baseball seen on the Shore and
the fact that many players have al
ready reached the majors, it is very
evident that the league is faster than
most leagues of the same class. Play
ers last summer who failed to keep
pace were sent to other leagues where
they made good.
Quite few changes are to be look
led for in the managers of the shore
clubs. 1t is definitely known that two
of the eight pilots will not return, and
two others will probably be dropped.
John Clark will not return to Centre
vile, and Clarence Nachand viii be
supplanted by another manager in Sal
ishury.
Harry Russell, president of the Eas-
tern Shore League, is very much con-
~cerned over the order sent out by
Judge Lands. Mr.. Russell will at
tend the meetings in Cincinnati next
month, this being the first meeting of
the minors in a major league town, he
said. This city was selected because
of baseball's one hundredth anniver-
sary and the first professional team
was formed in Cincinnati. Until this
meeting nothing definite can be deter.
mined as to the future of Easton.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
BIG CATCH OF FISH
BACK IN THE SEVENTIES

Several week ago story was pub
lished relative to a huge seine fish
catch off Nottingham Beach. This
elected the following story from the
Hon. Barlow B. Fitchett of Franktown
of catch made years ago.
The story runs that in the Fall of
1872 or 1873 off Kiptopeake, Messrs.
Edward C. Fitchett, (Mr. B. B. Fitch
ett's father), James D. Hallett and
Thomas Dixon set their seine at eight
o'clock on Saturday morning in mid
November; it was the first fair day
after heavy Northwestern. The seine
was hauled late that afternoon and
yielded 240O bushels of trout and APP
proximately 500 bushels big Sleeps
head. The price paid for the latter
is not known but the trout brought
$1.00 per bushel. The cost of the haul
was paid by sale of the sounds" of
the trout which were at that time sold
in the market to be made into glue.
Certain minor details of the catch
are lacking but Mr.. Fitchett, though
a small boy at the time, recalls the
above facts as he and friends were on
the Shore when the haul was made
and also recalls the incident as being
topic of conversation in the neighbor-
hood for many years.
