IX and around a picturesque
village on the verge of the
Taunus mountains, north
of Frankfort, may be wit
nessed in summer time
the daily migration of
hundreds of geese from
their confined quarters in the cottage
yards to the green uplands above the
hamlet. To one unaccustomed to the
sight it is a quaint and interesting
.spectacle to watch the passing of such
a flock on the highway and to follow
it until the goal is reached. In the
summer days the work of the village
bpgins very early. The men go to the
fields to guide the plow or prune fruit
trees, iluxom women are seen walk
ing to the allotments nearer home.
Girls help in the fields and the chil
dren go to school. The youngest of
these are liberated early; they must
not be cooped up in a schoolroom in
the heat of the day, so they are free
to help in various easy ways in the
work of the village. If you enter this
Hessian hamlet at half-past nine you
find quite a commotion, and you hear
the cackling of large numbers of
geese. From nearly every cottage
gateway come geese, in twos, threes,
tens and sometimes twenty, each with
a dab of gay color on its wing, the
mark of ownership. The housewife
or her children ‘‘shoo" them out into
the road, and soon the village is alive
with them. The older member:£of the
flock soon steer in the direction of the
well-known pond, but the young re
cruits are very unruly and want to
s..mple the contents of the gutter, or
to invade the yards higher up the
street. Hut here comes Gretchen, one
of the daily drivers of the geese. With
a wisp of birch she gathers these wil
ful ones from under the great farm
wagons and out of the gutter, and
moves them along towards the old
castle, where the noise of a rattle an
nounces that Hans has already started
with the main flock. There he is, near
one of the four fine towers of the old
Schloss, his coat thrown over one
shoulder, stick in one hand, birch
switch in the other, and his rattle un
der his arm. Gretchen adds her con
1 tingent to his, Julie and Rosine join
them with other straggling cacklers,
Karl, Moritz and Ernest must be in at
the drive, and before long the last
houses of the village are left behind
and six hundred geese begin to climb
the dusty r .u that leads to thepond.
Hans has a shaggy-coated dog. He
carries a stick in his mouth. His
services are really not required, and
he gladly walks quietly with the
drivers. The children keep the geese
front straying from the road on to the
tempting herbage of the banks, and
progress is slowly made under the
increasing heat of the sun. The
passage of so many hundreds of
webbed feet raises a dust, so that by
the time the top of the hill is reached
it is very pleasant for all to leave the
road and turu on to the turfy ground,
in the direction of the longed-for wa
ter and the tree-shaded boggy land.
And now the older geese, the knowing
ones, may be seen to hurry forward,
quite outstripping the main flock, for
the goal is near. They see water
ahead. Their quick waddle becomes a
half-flight, until, with a joyful rush,
they dive into the cool waters of the
pond, making rippling eddies as they
swim. Willows and poplars shade the
south bank, green weeds and rushes
harbor insect food, and acres of
swainpy land are backed by pleasant
; coppiced knolls. It is the promised
; land. Here comesx the main flock;
' rushing, cackling, splashing they go
into the pond until it 4s seething with
life. The early coiners have swum
across and are out again on the fur
ther side, grubbing in the grass-land.
Hans throws himself on the ground
to rest after the dusty walk. His dog
I stays with him. They spend the day
with the geese. Gretchen has other
work to do in the village, and after a
short re3t she slowly trudges home
again, accompanied by some of the
; children. Hut out here with the geese
we stay for a while, enjoying the air.
White fleecy clouds float in the blue
sky, reminding one of the poetical
! Italian saying; “Lt Madonna fa la
| lana." From the edge of the forest
! near by comes the scent of the firs.
! all. So passes the day.
At five o'clock in the evening Hans
sends his gentle dog to gather to
gether his great white family. Soor
the aiv is full of sound. The flock is
in the move. The journey home is
all down hill and the sun’s heat is
spent. The geese have had a good
day. As the village is reached the>

ADDITION TO WAR'S HORRORS
English Chemist Has Produced Gas,
Which Set on Fire, Can Not Be
Extinguished.
Ernest Welsh, a chemist of Hull
England, has invented a remarkable
machine gun which is discharged by
gas, which will send projectiles five
miles in a minute, and the projectiles
set on fire anything they may strike.
In appearance the new weapon re
sembles somewhat the Maxim gun.
and the mechanism, according to Mr
Welsh, consists in part of three gener
ators which manufactures three dis
tinct gases, whose nature he keeps
as liis secret. He was willing to ad
mit, however, that it had taken him
13 years to find out the different
gases.
" A feature of these,” he went on
I “is that they will ignite on water, but
one problem 1 have not yet solved
is how to extinguish the flames which
they cause. The projectiles are not
large; it is the stuff they contain that
does the mischief.”
Mr. Welsh added with some pride:
“I have also perfected a shot for
bringing down aeroplanes. You don’t
have to fire accurately at the machine.
The gases are enough to suffo
cate any one within the area of their
| scope.”

ONCE PATRIOTS WERE FOOLED
Had Struck a Lazy Neighborhood and ,
Nobody Would Order Him to
Stop His Work.
In the opinion of friends and :
enemies alike Patrick was the laziest
white man that ever drew breatl It :
was cne tf the anomalies of Patrick's
sxistenee that the only firm with j
whom he could hold a job was a coal ,
company whose strenuous methods
sometimes compelled him to be out
delivering coal at seven o'clock in the
morning.
Certain of the company's customers
and their neighbors resented that in
human activity almost as much as
Patrick did. The first rattling of coal i
aown the iron chute banished sleep, i
and irate aristocrats who could afford 1
the luxury of a morning snooze popped |
their heads out of the window and j
ordered Patrick to postpone his la- j
bors until a more reasonable hour.
i
Patrick never disregarded that com
mand. Backed up by a united neigh
borhood, he could afford to be lazy, so
he curled up on the driver's seat and
slept until the street was as-.ir.
Fortified by previous experience,
Patrick ^accepted a recent order for
early service with comparative cheer
fulness. He reported at the coal yard
in good time, and at seven o'clock
the first shovelful of coal awoke
echoes in a quiet residential street.
Having fired his first shot, Patrick
closed the chute and awaited ‘he usual
command. It did not come. He let
fly another volley. Still no tousled
heads, no angry voices. Another
shovelful, and still another, and an
other broke the stillness. Patrick
looked despairi, gly at the lifeless win
dows.
"For the love of Mike!” he groaned.
"Ain't any of youse people got spunk
enough to order me to stop shoveling
coal at seven o'clock in the morn
ipg?"
Apparently nobody had. Patrick had
at last struck a neighborhood which,
while arousing resentment, com
manded his deepest respect. The en
tire population was too lazy to get up
and bid him stop working, ana his
labors proceeded without the custo
mary respite
America's Privilege. |
Our country should never forget
what a proud privilege and what ar
inestimable blessing it is not to need
and not to have big armies or navies
to support. It should seek to ln.u
ence mankind uot by heavy artillery
but by good example an4 wise- -coun
sel. It should see its highest glory
not in battles '.vor. but in warm pre
vented.—Cari Schurz.
Pompous Coal Horse.
"A coal horse,” said the magistrate,
“has a pompous stride. There Is more

DISABLED, BUT NOT KILLED
Modern Bullet Puts Soldier Hit Out of
Action, but He Generally Recov
ers From Wound.
Medical reports from the Balkan
war show the comparative humane
ness of modern weapons. In spite of
terrific artillery duels and occasional
bayonet work most wounds are inflict
ed by rifle fire, and the modern rifle
is a mild and humane thing compared
with the old-time musket.
Paragraph From Behind the Bars.
From Good Words, published in the
federal prison at Atlanta, Ga.: In
editing this paper there is one con
solation, we don't have to worry
about pay day. . . . Here we “make

mittee investigating the money trust
r-alled no witnesses from here. . . .
Rich relatives didn't help you In com
ng here, and why should you expect
them to help you In getting out?
The modern bullet is small, hard,
and moves at great 3peed. At ordi
nary range it drills a small, clean
hole, which disables the wounded man
for a time. It carries no fragments of
clothing into the body, and the heat of
its passage sterilizes the wound it
makes.
Even wounds through the bowels
are no longer a passport to death.
Most men so wounded recover without
operation. An asceptic bandage, rest,
starvation, and proper nursing bring
most cases through.

Will PROVE ABILITY
^irate's $22,500 Twirlei Shows
Good Control.
O’Toole Assess He Had Sore Arm
Last Year Sut Now Is in Fine
Trim and Will Show Fans He
Is Wcriiiy of Confidence.
Doubtless there are scores upou
scores of fans who are wondering
whether Marty O’Toole, who failed
last season to live up to his $22,500
reputation, is going to make good this
year.
They are asking tliemsedves con
cerning his chances to aid the Pirates
to win the 1913 pennant.
Marty is in dead earnest. He real
izes that he will have to pitch good
ball if he is to retain the confidence
of his employers and the fans at home.
It is said that lie suffered a cut in sal
ary this season and that he has been
promised the amount of the cut next
year if he shows well during 1913.
This, however, is but rumor. O’Toole
has said nothing on the subject, nor
has President Dreyfuss or Manager ,
Clarke. Their relations with the Val- ,
uable One seem to be of the most
pleasant nature and both of them are
of the opinion that the money spent
in securing the pitcher's release from
St. Paul was judiciously expended.
Marty himself has no doubts con
cerning his ability to go right. “I am
going to pitch like I pitched for St
Paul,” he said. "I wasn't altogether
right last season. 1 tried too hard to
live up to the reputation which had
preceded me to Pittsburgh—and I
failed.
"Last spring 1 suffered from a sore
arm, this soreness sticking to me
throughout the greater part of the sea
son. Now. however, my arm is free
from al! kinks, and T believe l will be
able to do all that will be expected of
me.”
O'Toole lost ten pounds at Hot
Springs and now weighs only 16i.
"I am not worrying,".continued the
South Farmington one. “1 know what
I can do and 1 am hoping to do it this
year. 1 will grow stronger just as soon
'==• _. -B1S=- --=■’■
Marty O’Toole.
as the weather warni3 up, and the fact
that my arm is right encourages me in
the belief that 1 will be able to recov
er my 1911 form—the form 1 displayed
with the St. Paul club.”
Those who have watched the great
spitballer at work have been struck
by the fact that his control is so much
better than it was during the last
championship season. Marty pitches
in batting practice and he has little
difficulty in getting the pellet across
the pan. Nor does he lob them over,
either; he use's good speed and seems
to have no trouble in locating the spot.
Said one of the players—a veteran:
“If that old boy can keep up his
present form he’ll sure be a wonder
when his arm gets stronger.” And
that seems to be the general opinion
among ihe players on the club.
CONNIE MACK CLAIMS FLAG
Manager of Philadelphia Athletics Be
lieves His Team Has Good Chance
to Win Pennant.
“I believe the American league pen
nant for 1913 will fly from the pole at
Sbibe park,” said Connie Mack, man
ager of the Philadelphia Athletics.
“Our pitchers are going fine and the
men behind them are playing good
ball and hitting well. From present
indications, the Athletics have an ex
cellent chance to win the pennant.
They were never in better condition
at the beginning of a baseball season,
and that means a great deal.
"If you get away good, it’s much
easier to stay in front than it is to
catch up if you get a bad start.
“I believe Washington will be the
most formidable opponents of the
Athletics this season. Of course. Bos
ton has a good team, and it will be
nip and tuck between the Athletics.
Red Sox and the Nationals.”
Dilger Is Best Backstop.
Dilger, one* of Birmingham’s catch
ers, is one of the best backstops that
ever donned a pad, say the Cincinnati
Reds. He has a perfect throwing arm,
but he is a very poor batter.
Macon Wants the Braves.
Macon, in Georgia, is negotiating
with Manager Stallings of the Boston
braves to train his team there for the
next three years. Macon has a queer
idea of getting on the map.
St. Paul Wants Doc Marshall.
Failing to land a catcher from Pitts
burg as expected, St. Paul is said to
have opened negotiations for the pur
chase of Doc Marshall from Milwau
kee.
Good Start for Senators.
There isn’t much doubt but that
Walter Johnson is starting just where
he left off last fall. It begins to look
like a good year for the Senators al
ready.
Chance’s Plan.
Frank Chance is insisting on having
all of his players report to him when
they turn in at night. Evidently it is
a good plan, for the New Yorkers are
Btarting off at a pretty lively clip.
NEW CATCHERS GIVEN REGULAR PLACES
Oscar Stanage, Tigers’ Star Backstop.
Several of the-National and Ameri-1
can league clubs have new catchers, j
Although a few have been seen in the '
big leagues before, it will be the first
season that they really can be called ;
the regular receivers.
The Cardinals last year had Roger
Bresnahan, manager-catcher. This
season he is gone and Ivey Wingo will
be the regular catcher. Wingo last
season caught great ball. In fact, he
did most of the work behind the bat.
but with Bresnahan around, could not
be called the regular. In 1913. though,
he will have clear title to the claim.
Then the Browns will have a young
ster who is entirely new to the Ameri
can league. He is Sam Agnew, who
last season was with the Pacific Coast
league, and who showed such sterling
work in the spring series. Last season
.Manager Stovall had Stephens and
Krichell as his regulars, but both are
in the minors now.
It is the same way in other cities in
both circuits. The White Sox have
Ray Schalk. He will be the regular
catcher for the Sox this season, while
last year Billy Sullivan, the veteran,
did the bulk of the work. Schalk is
not new- to the league, having played
last fall.
Although Billy Gibson is still with
the Pirates, it is not likely that he will
do the bulk of the catching. This prob
ably w-ill fall to Billy Kelly, the East
St. Louis boy, w'ho came to the Nation
al league with Marty O'Toole. Gibson
is getting old and not capable of catch
ing the same kind of ball he did sev
eral seasons back, and may have to
take a back seat in favor of a younger
man.
Last year Johnny Kling was the
chief catcher for the Boston Braves
and incidentally manager. The former
Cub star, though, has forsaken the
national pastime and Iiftiden. who
was a member of the Braves all last
season, will be on duty behind the bat
in most of the games.
The same is the case in Cincinnati.
Larry McLean was the Reds' chief
catcher last year until he fell by the
w-ayside. Then Tommy Clark took up
the burden, and it will be this young
man w’ho will be seen on duty in the
greatest number of contests this sea
son.
In other words, just four clubs in
the National league will rely on the
same receivers that' they did last year.
There is hardly a chance that Roger
Bresnahan will be able to take the job
away from Jimmy Archer in Chicago,
while the Phillies will again have
Dooin, the Giants have Meyers and the
Superbas have Otto Miller, one of the
best young catchers in the league last
season.
Then in the American league, where
fewer catchers have come up, six
clubs will rely on the same members.
Oscar Stanage. the Tigers' star, will
again be cn duty. Then Frank Chance
will have Ed Sweeney, without doubt
the best maskman in the junior league.
The Xaps will again have Steve
O'Neil. Then the champion Red Sox
probably will rely on Forest Cady.
Manager Dooin of Philadelphia.
John Henry will be the regular for the
Nationals, unless the operation to his
knee keeps him out of a uniform for
the early games.
Here is the list of leading catchers
for the clubs in the two leagues this
season:
NATIONAL*.
Cardinals—Wingo.
Cubs—Archer.
Reds—Clark.
Pirates—Kelly.
Phillies—Dooin.
Giants—Meyers.
Boston—Rariden.
Brooklyn—Miller.
AMERICAN.
Browns—Agnew.
Detroit—Stanage.
Chicago—Schalk.
Cleveland—O’Neill.
New York—Sweeney.
Boston—Cady.
Washington—Henry.
PliUadel’ia—'Thomas.
Dee Walsh is regarded as a second
Donie Bush by Manager Stovall of the
Browns.
Manager .Jake Stahl’s recruit pitch-1
ers seem to be in better shape than the j
regulars.
Manager Birmingham is interested
in the progress George Kahler is
making with his spitter.
Christy Mathewson's statement that
an umpire once made him ,—.ck is I
echoed by one Ping Bodie.
Hal Chase has showed up well at
second base so far. He covers a lot
of ground and handles the ball as fast
as if he had been playing the position
all his life.
It is hard to convince the gentleman
who orates vociferously on baseball
that there are a thousand persons who
go to see ball games for every ten
’’fans.”
Miller Huggins, new leader of the
Cardinals, is thirty-three years old.
He has been playing professional ball
fog 12 years and has always delivered
the goods.
Last year Bush, Louden, Cobb and
Crawford stole an aggregate of 165
bases. Manager Jennings expects the
Tigers to win many a game with speed
this season.
The big leagues are to make a
change in the contracts. They will re
place the words "for the season” with
"for seven months,” thus forcing the
players to attend spring practice.
PLAYING BASEBALL IN PARIS
Cries of "Conspuez I’Umpire!” and
"Glissez, Keil-e-e-e, Glissez” Now
Popular in France.
Every Sunday, all summer long, at
Colombes, will be heard these cries
so familiar to the American fan—"Con
■spuez l’umpire!” and “Glissez. Kel
le-e-e, glissez"—shrilly shrieked by the
boulevardiers and the street gamins of
Paris as they watch the teams of the
All-Paris league in affrays more oloddy
than the average French duel.
The preparations for the Paris base
ball season have been thoroughly
made and already play has begun. The
chief teams are those of the Paris
baseball dub and the Racing Club of
France and the rivalry is intense. All
games are played on Sundays, as the
players are amateurs.
The French spectators are quick to
seize upon the fine points of the game
and the players themselves display a
wonderful aptitude for it. They are
beginning to like it as well as football,
which is rapidly becoming a popular
pastime. »
Register a Triple Steal.
A triple steal, the first ever made
In the Northwest league, was made
by Spokane players in the game
against Portland, acording to an
nouncement of the offlc!ai>seorer, who
decided that ail three men started
when the pitcher delivered the ball
Powell, on third; Melchior, on second
and Altman, on first, are the men who
participated, and the try for a put
out was made at the home plate.
Giants Secure Another Star.
It is reported that Malcolm Doug
las, the University of Virginia star
for whom several clubs were said to
be angling, turned down Connie
Mack’s offer of $3,000 to sign with the
Athletics. He has agreed to play
with the New York Giants if he en
ters professioi^il ball.
