A Fiddle Church Vane.

r One of the most curious vanes to be

which was almost a part of his life.
It last he decided to emigrate, and out
Bi the Far West prospered and became

Don't.
A hundred times a day I hear
His mother say: ‘Don't do that dear! ,
From early morn till dusk 'tis all
"Don't do that, dear!" 1 hear her call
From the back porch and front and sid*
As though some evil would betide
Unless she drummed It in his ear:
“Don't do that, dear! Don't do that,
dear!"
If he goes out and slams the door:
"Don’t do that dear!" and if the floor
Is newly scrubbed and he comes near:
"Don't do that, dear!" is ail I hear.
If he comes romping down the stairs:
"Don’t do that, dear!” and if he wears
No coat, but hangs it somewhere near,
She sees and says: "Don't do that, dear!”
If he goes shinning up a tree:
"Don't do that, dear!” If he should be
Astride a roof I know I'll hear
Her cal! to him: “Don't do that, dear!”
His life is all "Don’t this,” "Don’t that,”
’’Don't lose the dog,” "Don’t chase the
cat,”
“Don't go," “Don't stay," “Don’t there,
"Don't here,"
“Don’t do that, 1 dear! Don't do that,
dear!"
Sometimes he seems to me as still
As any mouse until a shrill
"Don't do that, dear!” falls on the air
And drives him swift away from there.
So when he finds another spot:
“Don’t do that, dear!" and he says.
“What?"
And she replies and cannot say—
But—"Well, don’t do it, anyway!”

Encroaching on English.
From the Washington Times.
A party of foreigners who are making
a tour of this country called recently
at the state department and were re
ceived by Secretary Root. They had a
very limited knowledge of English, and
the conversation was conducted mostly
In the sign language. Finally, the
spokesman of the party arose, and, with
a profound bow, said:
“Mr. Secutalre, we will not further
cockroach on your time.”
Secretary Root Is known in Wash
ington as the polite man. He did not
crack a smile, but In diplomatic terms
explained to his visitor that encroach
was the proper English word to explain
his meaning.
“Ah,’” exclaimed the caller, with an
other bow, “I understand. Cockroach
am ze male and henroach am ze fe
male.”
Mr. Root nodded his head. Further
explanation seemed to be useless.
DEEP CRACKS FROM ECZEMA.

“I had eczema on my hands for
about seven years and during that
time I had used several so-called rem
edies, together with physicians’ and
druggists’ prescriptions. The disease
was so bad on my hands that I could
lay a slate pencil in one of the cracks
and a rule placed across the hand
would not touch the pencil. I kept
using remedy after remedy, and while
some gave partial relief, none relieved
as much ns did the first box of Cuti

Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my
hands were perfectly cured after two
boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one

A Colonial Calf.
In 1631 Thomas Dudley, deputy gov
ernor of the colony of Massachusetts
bay, wrote the Countess of Lincoln a
letter of 1,9 pages, in which he tells her
an Incident In the early history of the
colony that would otherwise have beeu
forgotten. It goes to show that the
Puritan forefathers, even the staid
magistrates, had some humor. The
matter was fresh to the mind of the
writer, for he closes his letter by say
ing: "I am now this twenty-eighth of
March, 1631, sealing my letters.” Upon
the Twenty-fifth of this March, one
of Watertown, having lost a Calf and
about ten of the Clock at night, hearing
the howling of some wolves not far off,
raised many of his Neighbors out of
their Beds, that by Discharging their
Muskets near about the place where he
heard the Wolves, he might so prat the
Wolves to flight and save his calf. The
Wind serving fit to carry the Report
of the Muskets to Roxbury, three miles
off. at such a time; the Inhabitants
there took alarm, Beat rap their Drum,
Armed themselves and sent Post to us
to Boston to Raise us also. So in the
morning the Calf being found safe, the
Wolves affrighted and our danger past,
we went merrily to Breakfast.

j FUNNY BASEBALL INCIDENTS
l.--—.....-■«
Chris Von der Ahe’s Query.
"Yankee" Robinson, who played sec
ond base for Chris Von der Ahe’s St.
Louis club, was an irrepressible indi
vidual whom nothing could daunt.
He was a bum base runner, but he
had an Idea that he was a wonder. No
argument could keep him from trying
to purloin bases. If the ball was put on
him ten feet away from the sack and
tn plain sight of every one he would
Invariably rise to his feet, yelling:
"He never teehed me,” and then start
a heated argument with the umpire.
Chris Von der Ahe, with little or no
knowledge of the fine points of the
game, knew that "Yankee" had no
business trying to steal bases. He was
constantly after hls eccentric second
baseman, until he lost patience, finally
calling him to account for any break
he made on the field.
One day the Loulsvllles were playing
In St. Louis and with two men on bases
the mighty slugger, Pete Browning,
came to bat. He smacked one down
toward Robinson, literally singeing the
air on Its travel. Robinson knocked It
down, but couldn’t handle It In time
to keep the man on third from going
home. When Von der Ahe observed
this he came tearing down the field,
with hls face us red as fire, uttering
maledictions of the most horrible kind
on the head of the unfortunate
"Yankee.”
When Chris came up to Robinson he
shook hls fist In his face and fairly
shrieked:
' Look here, ‘Yankee’ Robinson, vat
veu call your tarn self, a pall blayer.
eh? Veil, den, vy you not holt dot pall
ven you had him alreetty? Vat?”
"Why, Chris,’ explained Robinson,
"you surely ain't going to blame me for
that, are you? That ball was a hot
one.”
“A hot one, eh?” screamed Von der
Ahe, as he danced about In rage. "Veil,
vot you expect me to do, to run along
and cool It off vit Ice water, eh?"
Sam Crawford s Story.
Big Sam Crawford of the Detroit club
Is a barber by profession. He halls from
way out In Nebraska, and cherishes the
memory of once having lathered and
shaved William Jennings Bryan. But be
fore Sam went Into the Barber business
he worked in a glue factory.
When the Detroit club was last 1n
Washington the players were sitting
around their hotel lamenting the threat
ened rain and chattering of various
things.
"The first time I began playing ball for
money," said Sam Crawford, "I received
only half a dollar a game, and thought I
was well paid at that, for money was
tight In my part of the country.”
"Who gave you all that money, Sam,”
laughingly Inquired Ty Cobb, who receives
five thousand for six months’ work.
"Why, I was working in a glue factory
at the time,” replied Crawford, "and the
manager of the Joint was 'bugs' on base
ball, and gave each member of the club
60 cents for every game we played.”
“Was It a good team 7” asked Cobb.
"Well, the team wasn’t much of an out
fit,” drawled Sam, as he warily glanced
about In the direction of the nearest exit,
"but as we all worked In the glue fac
tory we stuck together pretty well."
And then Sam ducked.
They Loved Leever.
Charley Beever, the steady and reliable
pitcher of the Pittsburg club, was once a
country school teacher. He was noted
for his strict adherence to the "spare the
rod, spoil the child” principle, and the
howls that sometimes Issued from his
temple of learning were frequent and
piercing.
One of his worst pupils, when It came to
outguessing him, was a little curly-haired
chap, who lisped when he talked, and who
was always made to stand up and "show
off” for the edification of visitors.
One day the board of directors came
around to look things over and one of
them selected the lisping tyke to answer
his questions.
“Do you like your teacher, Willie?” he
asked.
"Yes-s-r-," said Willie.
“And why do you like your teacher?"
asked the old qulazer.
"Because,” lisped Willie, "the blble
says that we must love our enemies.”
Jimmy McAleer and Waddell.
Jimmy McAleer has succeeded in taming
“Rube” Waddell, something that no man
ager ever accomplished before.
When asked how he had succeeded In
pulling off this supposedly Impossible play
Jimmy said;
“I treat Waddell as I would wish to be
treated myself, and I do not have the
least bit of trouble with him. i find him
to be a very willing fellow, and what he
does he does in the open and allows all
the world to know about it.
"There is absolutely nothing two-faced
about George Edward. One of the finest
points about him is that he does not sulk
or nurse fancied grievances, like a good
many star ball players I have known in
my day. Men like this, while they
wouldn’t come out into the open and do i
things, they would, by secret means, so
demoralize a winning outfit as to eliminate
it from the running.
"Waddell is a peculiar fellow', but the
fans in every city pamper him, and it Is
not hard to find plausible excuses for
some bad breaks the big fellow* has made
in the past. Personally, I very much like
Rube, and consider him one of the best
twlrlers now in the game, and all this;
talk about managers having to humor^
George Edward are poppycock, for I find
him tractable. You’ll hear from the big
"rube" when we fellows are coming down
the homestretch. Stick a pin right there
and don’t forget it."
Milan’s Merry Retort.
Clyde Milan, the candy kid of baseball,
Is one of the quickest thinkers in the
local outfit, and few of the Washingtan I
lads ever care to tackle him. On the
local street car line that the baseball
players use Is a grouchy conductor, who
is so disobliging that the other day the
boys decided to put up a job on him.
So when a bunch of them got on this
fellow's car they each handed out 25 cents
in coppers and demanded tickets.
’Tis well known that no conductor cares
to handle coppers, for they take up a lot
of room and require tedious counting, and
as the grouch came down the car aisle
and the Washington boys began to hand,
out their coppers, his face was a study.
As he got to Milan, who looks like a
kid, the conductor’s temper failed and
snatching Milan’s money he cried:
"Say, 3 don’t w*ant to be carrying all
this junk around in my pockets."
"All right," replied Clyde in a voice au
dible to every one In the car, "turn it into
the company.’’
A. _
Connie Mack on Baseball.
Connie Mack Is bemoaning the fact that
luck has been against his club all season.
He says that but once has the club got
an even break of luck with any club.
“To illustrate my point,” said Connie,
“I will recall a little instance which oc*
curred one hot July day down in Wash-*
ington. He had played a double header
the day before, the thermometer was hov
ering about the 95 mark and both clubs
were pretty well fagged out. But we
played the game for keeps just the same.
“The Washington club knocked Waddell
out of the box and I sent in Bender, who
,had a great year then, and the Nationals
hit Bender, too.
“Finally, when in the last or next to the
last inning, with Washington leading us
and all our men dead on their feet, Sey
bold became affected by the heat and re
tired from the game. I sent in young
Armbruster to bat for Socks. With
Harry Davis on first base, and Washing
ton having the game sewed up, that kid
got on to one of Tom Hughes’ curves and
laced the ball out toward John Anderson,
In left field. Just as John came in to take
the ball on the first bound, it struck a
hilly place In the outfield and, bounding
over his shoulder, rolled away back to the
fence. Armbruster chased Harry Davis
over the plate on his home run and we
won the game.”

Donovan and Waddell.
These are the days when pennants are
won by clever pitchers, and just now
American league fans are sizing up the
relative merits of Donovan and Waddell.
McAleer and Jennings are holding these
stars back for the rush down the home
stretch, and students of baseball are wise
to the fact. So there has been a method
in the seeming madness of Wild Bill
Donovan being put out of the game so
much this season. Bill, acting under In
structions from Jennings, has been sav
ing himself, and from now on it is a safe
bet that he will not again be suspended.
McAleer has been holding Waddell in
reserve by allowing him to work along
easily all the season without risking his
arm by pitching him in regular turn.
Waddell won the pennant for the Ath
letics in 1902. Tannehill and Bill Dlnneen
did the same for Boston in 1903, while Din
neen accomplished the feat for Boston in
1904 and Waddell for the Athletics in 1806.
Phlllipe won for Pittsburg In 1903, Ma
thewson for New York in 1904 and 1906,
Brown for the Cubs in 1906 and Walsh for
the White Sox the same year. Donovan
by his fine work for Detroit undoubtedly
brought the pennant to that city in 1907,
and it is up to him and Waddell to show
whether the Tigers or the Browns will
win the bunting for 1908.
Globe Sights.
From the Atchison Globe,
The average dog Is a sample of how
faithful a nuisance can be.
A new father handles a baby as tim
idly as a girl handles a gun.
It takes all kinds of queer people to
make a world and you are one of the
queer kind.
When a girl dislikes another girl, she
always says of her. "She la Just crazy
to ret married.”
There are some men who have a
"run” In society, as some popular songs
have a run on the streets.
A really good dry goods man makes
every woman who calls at his store
feel that he finds a certain something
about her to admire. ,
Every woman who hears of a baby’s
death believes that If they had sent
for her. she would have thought of
something that would save It.
When a man tells his sweetheart that
she is the nicest girl in town, he has to
tell her. when he meets her the next
day, that she is the nicest girl in the
world, or she will say his love is grow
ing cold.
When a man has “respect” for a
woman he keeps his secrets from her
as much as possihle. but her Influence
does not cause him to reform. If he
happens to meet her suddenly on the
street, he may swallow his chewing
tobacco, If he knows she dislikes the
tobacco habit, but he does not quit to
bacco.
The English language Is funny. If
a school teacher desires to send a boy
to the spring after a bucket of water,
and the children are thirsty, It Is prop
er for her to say: "Go quickly,” but
if a man has taken something of yours,
and you desire to impress upon his
mind that he must return it promptly
it is better to say: "Now you get it,
and get it quick.”
Every woman’s magazine devotes
dozens of columns to how the nursery
should be furnished. The nursery in
all the Kansas homes we were ever
in. and we have been in a great many,
is in the bedroom, dining room, kitchen
or parlojr, wherever the mother’s work
takes her, and It is oftenest the kitchen.
And Kansas babies, by the way. who
are given onions to play with, when
their mothers are peeling onions, and
clothes pins on wash day, are as pretty
as any "nursery” babies In the world.

A Diagnosis.
From the Washington Star.
Professor Koch, the famous Investi
gator of sleeping sickness, said of an
old fashioned doctor at a musical given
by Andrew Carnegie In his honor In
New York:
“Yes, Dr. Blank's methods were old
fashioned, prosy, pompous, nonsensical.
You know, at Heidelburg they tell a
story about him—a story in illustration
of his way of working.
“A man, according to the story, fell
over a cliff in an automobile and a
steel bar eight feet long was run
through his body so that three feet of
the bar protruded from his stomach
and three feet from his back.
"Dr. Blank was sent for. He looked
at the spitted patient and said:
“‘What is the complaint?"
" ‘It is my stomach, sir,' was the
reply.
"How did it happen?’
"The man explained the accident in
detail.
"‘Humph!’ said Dr. Blank. ‘As to
heredity, did any members of your
family ever suffer a similar accident?’
“ No, sir, none,' the patient answered.
’’ ’Very good,’ said Dr. Blank. ‘You
see, we acquire a knowledge of all
these details in order to form a correct
diagnosis. So far, so good.’
“He looked at the patient thought
fully.
" ’You find some difficulty in lying on
your back?’ he said.
" ’I can't lie on my back at all. sir.'
" ‘And I suppose you are no easier on
the stomach?’
" ‘Oh. no.’
■ 'In short,’ said Dr. Blank, 'you are
most comfortable on your side?'
" ’Yes, sir. That is the only position,
to tell the truth, that I am able to
maintain.’
“ ’Exactly,’ said the doctor, in a tri
umphant voice. 'We have now only to
settle upon the treatment. Here is the
case in a nutshell: Either we leave
the bur where It is, in which case in
flammation will set In and you will
probably die, or we extract it, an op
eration that is likely to prove fatal.
Your fate, sir, is in your own hands.
Please decide which course you will
adopt.'"
First Hobo—Yes. I told that lady dat
I was once a senator. She actually be

THOUGHT ALL SAW DOUBLE.
Wifa of Kancas Cattleman Has Queer
Experience—Cure Finally Effected.
A remarkable story, according to the
Kansas City Journal, can be verified by
a well known oculist In Kansas City.
In one of the counties of western
Kansas Is a cattleman who has grown
wealthy. His wife, a charming woman
of some 40 years, recently began to
have severe headaches. A local physi
cian decided that the trouble was with
her eyes. The family could not believe
It, as she had very keen sight from
both far and near. However, the hus
band took her to an oculist In Kansas
City for expert examination. In the
course of the examination the profes
sional man held up a candle and asked
her what she saw. "I see the two
lights,” she answered calmly. "Two!"
exclaimed the surprised husband.
“Have you always seen two of me
when you looked at me?” "Why, cer
tainly, dear," was the answer. "Don’t
you always see two of me?”
And then came the revelation that
this educated. Intelligent woman has
never known in all her 40 years of life
that everybody didn’t see double. She
had accepted her own condition as a
matter of course. It Instantly account
ed to the husband for little Indefinite
movements which he had frequently
observed In his wife when she was
reaching for an object, and It was a
mutter of great astonishment to the
woman when by an adjustment of
glasses and through treatment she be
gan to see us other people do.

BELGIAN POLICE DOG WON FAME.
One Animal, Disobeying Recall Signal,
Led Way to a Band of Thieve*.
From Patrle, Paris.
Brussels—The Belgian police dogs,
some of which were recently exhibited
in Paris, where they gave unquestion
able proofs of sagacity, have Just
achieved a new and practical triumph,
for a pack of them has Just caused
the arrest of five burglars. Singularly
enough, It was the Insistence of a dog
which had been considered decidedly
refractory that was the real cause of
the triumph.
M. Llbbrecht, the police dog trainer,
was, It appfcars, giving his pack a les
son In the country, the object of the
lesson being to teach the dogs to fol
low a strip of ground without deviat
ing from a prescribed route and to re
assemble on signal.
One dog, called Bull, did not seem
disposed to devote serious attention to
study. In fact he was the "bad boy”
of the school, and when the "assembly
signal" was sounded Instead of obeying
he started oft—and In quite defiant
fashion, too.
M. Llbbrecht, who had had the idea
of giving the obstinate Bull a lesson,
became curious, and following his four
footed pupil, he had the satisfaction of
seeing his five dogs each at the leg of
a man.
It was learned later that these men
had robbed a villa and had gone to this
unfrequented placo to divide the booty.
The dogs soon won their battle, and aft
er the burglars had been compelled to
put back Into their sacks the stolen
goods there was a triumphal procession
which ended In the arrest of the cul
prits. The dog^ even when first at
tacking, had shown their training by
each choosing his man. Of course dur
ing the subsequent march each dog was
watchful over his man.

AFRAID TO EAT.
Girl Starving on Ill-Selected Food.
“Several years ago I was actually
starving,” writes a Me. girl, “yet dared
not eat for fear of the consequences.
“1 had suffered from indigestion
from overwork, irregular meals and
Improper food, until at last my stom
ach became so weak I could eat scarce
ly any food without great distress.
“Many kinds of food were tried, all
with the same discouraging effects. I
steadily lost health and strength until
I was but a wreck of my former self.
“Having hoard of Grape-Nuts and
Rs great merits, 1 purchased a packuge,
but with little hope that it would help
me—I was so discouraged.
“I found It not only appetizing but
that 1 could eat It as 1 liked and that
It satisfied the craving for food without
causing distress, and If I may use the
expression, ‘It filled the bill.’
“For months Grape-Nuts was my
principal article of diet. I felt from
the very first that I had found the
right way to health and happiness, and
my anticipations were fully realized.
“With Its continued use I regained
my usual health and strength. To-day
I am well and can eat anything I like,
yet Grape-Nuts food forms a part of
my bill of fare.” ‘There's a Reason."

Good Money In Dry Ranching.
From the Los Angeles Times.
J. B. Maxwell, a prominent rancher
and capitalist of Ban Jacinto, has Just
received returns from a 640-acre tract
of grain which prove that dry ranching
In the valley Is not In any way an un
desirable occupation. A year ago Mr.
Maxwell purchased this section of land,
and as soon as the fall rains began he
had It ploughed and seeded to barley.
Returns from this crop of winter
sown grain Jiave been received and Mr. •
Maxwell reports that his gross receipts
are more than the cost of the land a
year ago. He Is enthusiastic over his
success and Is looking for more grain
land to buy. Experience of the grow
ers In the last few years has demon
strated that grain land Is profitable
property and that It pays the rancher
to own his land rather than to rent for
a share of the crop.

Superintendent McLaren, of San
Francisco’s system of public parks, was
Inspecting the work of restoring Union
square to Its former beauty, now that
the little St. Francis has been removed.
"I’m for heavin’ this un out; It’s a
bum little bush,” remarked a gardener
with a brogue.
"Which one?” Inquired McLaren.
"You don’t mean the beautiful ltttls
Scotch heather? All It needs Is more
water and It will grow as tall as you
are.”
“You're not so very tall yourself, Mr.
McLaren.”
“Not extraordinarily so.”
"I say, Mr. McLaren,” reflected the
gardener, thoughtfully, "did you eve*
try water yourself?”
