News was received in New York
the other day of the death in Ireland
of Col. M. Emmett Urell. a famous
baseball player of the ’60s. He was
one of the leaders of the game in the
old historic White Lot. Washington ;
D. C . when the Nationals of that city
were regarded as one of the strongest
teams !n the country.
Urell played second base on the old
Union team of 1867. acting as captain.
I.ater he joined the Nationals. He
was afterward a member of the Olym
pics of Washington, of which Nick
Young was the head.
In these days Mike Urell. with his
(lowing whiskers facing Colonel Jones,
the pitcher of the Nationals, who also
wore a full beard, presented a pic

Urell continued his interest in the
game throughout his entire life, and
always argued that the game was

START DUE TO AN ACCIDENT
Steinfeldt Star Third Baseman of
Chicago Cubs. Gives Credit for
Career to Door Mat
BY HARRY STEINFELDT.
(Copyright. I?!0. by Joseph R Bowles.1 '
I? my father had not stepped over a
rug in his office I never would hare j
been a professional ball player. It I
happened this way. I had been work- !
j mg for an ice machine concern. I
| bad played baseball as a boy in Texas.
but never thought of it as a means of
j making a living, nor had 1 any iuten
j tion nf becoming a professional. It
' was fun for me to play ball and I ;
j never lost a ehar.ee to get into the
game I was a pitcher and catcher
and shortstop, but mostly a shortstop,
around FVirt Worth. Then I came tc
St. Louis and got a job with the ice
machine people, to learn the business
' expecting to go into that line of work.
My father had his own plant in
Texas and ho wrote me to come home
and go to work in the office. Visitors
! came in tracking mud across the floor
| and father told me to put a mat in
; front of the door for theta to wipe
j their feet upon. It happened that a
! couple of days later he hurried into
the office, stepped over the mat and
' started to work. 1 caught hint by the
i arm and pointed to the mat and jo
kingly reminded him of the • fact he
• had forgotten to use it. He was wor- ■
I ried about something else and told me
j if I didn't like the way he did to work
somewhere else. 1 flared up and told
hint I would, and went out to hustle
1 for myself. It happened that there j
was a baseball tournament at Long
view. Tex. and someone offered me
money to take a team up to play
seven games We had a guarantee ol
expnses and we won five straight
games—McAllister, now a catcher in

Fort Worth shortstop broke his arm
soon afterward and 1 was asked to fill
in until he was able to be back on the
job. He never got back on the job,
for I worked my head off and hit so
well they kept me and I bounced front
there into faster company and two
years later into the National league.
I think much of my success was due
to the fact that when I was starting
at the business I was lucky enough to
get in with a bunch of fellows who
knew the game, some older and some
younger than myself. They made a
fellow learn the game and kept me
working and thinking all the time to
hold my place. Five members of our
little club eventually landed In the
major leagues and made good.
FINDS RACING CLEAN SPORT
Former Minister of Justice in New
South Wales Talks of Condi
tions in Australia.
Prize fighting and horse racing are
clean and manly sports If properly
conducted, in the opinion of Thomas
M. Slattery, former minister of justice
in New South Wales, and at one time
a member of the Australian parlia
ment. Mr Slattery spoke before the
Irish Fellowship club at a luncheon
while in Cbicago the other day.
“Horse racing is under the control
of the government and nothing that
does not savor of true sportsmanship
is tolerated. Any Irishman should
own a horse or horses, it's born in
him. and naturally should take pride
in owning the best racers. I have a
small string of horses r yself, and it
is needless to say I enjoy the race
course.
“Boxing is a fine, manly sport, and
being a bit of a sport myself, I enjoy
watching a bout."

Simple and Da:nty Desssrts.
What to have for dessert Is the
question that arises several hundred
times a year. Pies and puddings, like
the poor, are "always with us.” but
are less wholesome than simpler des
serts and fruits. Toast a few marsh
mallows cut in quarters and serve
wish a few almonds in whipped cream.
A most delicious frozen dish is made
of two lemons, two oranges, two cups
of sugar and two cups of cream;
freeze as usual. Gelatine jellies are
great favorites, eaay to make and so
light that the:- make an ideal dessert
after a hearty dinner.
Jellied Prunes.
Pick over and wash half a pound of
prunes and soak several hours in cold
water to cover, then cook in the same
water until tender. Remove the
stones and cut in quarters; to the
prune water add enough boiling water
to make two cupfuls; soak half a box
of gelatine in half a cup of water and
stir over the heat until disoived; add
one cupful of sugar and a quarter of a
cupful of lemon juice; turn into a
mold, stirring occasionally to prevent
the prunes from sinking. Serve with
sugar and cream.
Figs and Lemon Sauce.
Soak figs several hours in cold wa
ter. then cook in water to cover until
plump; add a fourth of a cup of lemon
juice to the water when nearly done.
Drain the figs and serve in a glass
dish, with the juice slightly thickened
with cornstarch. Chill and serve with
whipped cream, flavored with lemon
rind.
Banana Cantaloupe.
Soak two tablespoonfuls of gelatine
in half a cupful of cold water. Reat
the whites of two eggs slightly, add a
fourth of a cup of powdered sugar and
three-fourths of a cup of scalded
cream; cook over hot water until it
thickens; add the soaked gelatine and
two-thirds of a cupful of sugar; strain
into a pan set in ice water, add four
mashed bananas and one tablespoon
ful of lemon juice. Stir until it begins
to thicken, then fold in the whip
from three cups of cream. Line the
melon mold with lady fingers, trimmed
to fit the mold, turn in the mixture
and spread evenly and chill.

Prepare for the Winter.
During the fruit season there are
many delicacies that may be over
looked in the time of preparation, be
cause the recipes could not be found
or are completely forgotten. Here is
a nice confection which may be easily
made and which is very dainty;
Tomato Figs.—Take six pounds of
tomatoes and three pounds of gram
ulated sugar; select small yellow or
red tomatoes: put them in a colan
der and plunge into boiling water for
half a minute, remove the skins care
fully. not to break the tomatoes.
Cover the bottom of a porcelain-lined
kettle with a portion of the sugar,
put in a layer of the tomatoes, the re
mainder of the sugar and another
layer of tomatoes. Cook slowly until
the sugar has penetrated the center of
the tomatoes: lift carefully with a
large fork and spread the tomatoes
carefully on granite plates and let
them dry in the sun. bringing them in
each night. Sprinkle while drying
with granulated sugar. WBen perfect
ly dry put in layers with waxed paper
between each.
An Aster Luncheon.
Aster means star, so an appropriate
centerpiece of tin made in the form
of a star and filled with delicate lav
ender and pink asters with ribbons
of the same color radiating to each
place, where they are attached to
star shaped place cards decorated
with hand-painted stars makes a very
attractive table.
The menu may be carried out with
out regard to the color scheme. A
pretty custom and one which it is
hoped will become popular is the read
ing of an interesting story by the
hostess or a friend as the entertain
ment. Let the noble art of conversa
tion not be entirely forgotten over the t
bridge table.
Those who entertain simply can en
.ertain often and thereby are not set
ting an example of extravagance to be
'ollowed by a greater one at the next
entertainment. Entertainers are al
ways looking for something original
.’or entertainment. Why not have a
iinner or luncheon and with some
thing else than bridge whist.
Pumpkin Marmalade.
Cut eight pounds of yellow pumpkin
into small pieces; mix nine pounds of
sugar with the pieces and allow to
itand 12 hours. Peel six oranges and
| six lemons and boil this rind for two
hours, changing the water two or
1 three times. Chop the rind, add it
to the juice of the oranges and lem
ons: mix it with the pumpkin and
cook alowly three hours. Put iu
glasses and keep in a dark place.
Candy for a yellow luncheon may
be colored with saffron. Small pat
ties of fondant may be colored, then
dro- with a teaspoon on a buttered
paper. Another attractive way of
serving ice cream is in the spun
sugar nests, any color ussy be used
These nests may be made at home
after a little practise, but they may
be purchased at five cents each from
i the confectioner.

The Children's Sunday.
To many parents, what to do with
the children to keep them happy on
Sunday, is a problem. It should be
the day of all the week most enojyed;
but much depends on how Sunday is
observed, whether the child looks fop
ward to the day with joy or dread.
Children in the home mean self-sac
rifice on the part of the parents, but
aren't they worth it? After the usual
church services nre attended, and by
the-way. the wise parents of today
take all their children to church as
soon as the mother is able to go with
them. A child thus reared will be
long in the church and never have to
be urged to go. One has to remem
ber that children are without judg
ment. and their little wants must be
met. A cooky and a pencil will often
be all that is necessary for its con
tentment.
Let the children have an hour with
you of their own on Sunday after
noon; it may mean the giving up of a
nap or a call, but keep the time for
them. Talk over things that have
troubled, then read some interesting
book closed the previous week at a
most interesting point, and keep the
book just for Sunday reading.
Let the children have some games
and toys kept only for use on Sun
day. A Noah's ark may be an unend
ing source of amusement; talks on
the different animals, their homer and
habits, teach geography and nature
study. Let them use pencil and raper
with Bible names to make words, or
teach them to spell their names with
Bible verses. These may be memor
ized. .
Very young children show in a short
time the g . nera! knowledge gained
by the thoughtful companionship of
parents. There are several Bible
games suitable for different ages that
may be used occasionally to vary the
program.
Another way to Interest children is
to allow one to suggest what to have
for the Sunday supper, and let them
all have a hand in getting it ready.
These suggestions may be varied to
suit individual needs, and parents
with a little thought can originate
countless helpful ways of spending
the Sabbath as it should be spent, in
quiet and with reverence.

Helpful Hints.
I'se salt and sour milk to clean
brasses.
Remnants of fat. either cooked or
uncooked should always be saved,
fried out and clarified if necessary.
Carpets are greatly freshened by
washing with water in which a table
spconful of ammonia is added to sis
quarts of water. After a thorough
sweeping wipe with a cloth wrung as
dry as possible.
To keep chipped ice in the sick
room, suspend a flannel bag in a bowl,
put the ice in the bag and keep tight
ly covered. See that the bag is high
enough to be out of the water, as the
ice melts and ice will last nearly all
night.
Try putting the pumpkin through
the meat chopper before cooking. It
is easily done and it needs little water
to cook and in a suort time is tender.
If put in the oven to stew it need not
be watched as carefully as if cooked
on top of the stove.
Before removing the ribbon from
underwear, sew a piece of tape to the
end of ribbon, then draw the ribbon
out of the garment from the opposite
end. which will draw the tape in. then
the ribbon may be removed from the
tape, and when the garment is washed
the ribbon may be quickly put back
in the same manner, as the tape is
left in during the washing.
Hardly Caught Meaning.
Little Mary always learned her gold
•n text for Sunday school. One Sun
iay the golden text was “Beware of
covetousness.” Her mother explained
to her what it meant The next day
she repeated the golden text for her
grandfather. Her grandfather said:
“I don't believe you know what cov
etousness means." “Yes, I do, gran'
lather." she said; “it means you
mustn't want anything that somebody
else has, hut something Just 'xactly
like it"

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee Wnen a Baby.
If parents realised the fact that cot
fee contains a drug—caffeine—which is
especially harmful to children. they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
“When I was a child in my meth
er s arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother cs*.d to
give me sips of coffee. As my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals 1
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
"And so I contracted the coffee
habit early. I remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley! then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a sub
stitute for coffee.
“But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever beard
of. I continued to use coffee until 1
was 27. and when I got into office
work. 1 began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast l was so
nervous I could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.
"At night, after having coffee tat
supper. I could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded mo to try
Postum. My wife and 1 did not like
It at first, but later when boiled good
and strong it was fine. Now we would
noi give up Postum for the best coffee,
we ever tasted.
“I can now good sleep, am fre®
from nervousness and headaches, i
recommend Postum to all coffee drink,
