The Usual Conclusion. “That young fellow told me a very touching story.” "For how much?” LEWIS’ Single Binder cigar is smoked by more men who have been smoking 10c cigars than any other 5c cigar on the market. Adv. Wayside Philosophy. “Easy Street must be a nice street to live on," remarked the first hobo. “That's nothing to me,” declared the & second wayfarer. “1 never found that the alley back of it provided anything extra in the way of pickings.” Must Be Reckless. “Women like a brave man.” re marked the first chappie. “That's right,” assented the other chappie. “A feller's got to be reck less where women are concerned. If a girl offers you a kis6, wade right in. Don’t stop to ascertain if her tips have been sterilized.” Through the Phone. “Hello! Is that the information ed itor?" “Yes.” ■‘There's a question I’d like to ask you. to settle a family dispute.” “Well?” “Which is the proper implement to use in eating a beef stew—a table spoon or a fork?” Absent-Minded? Oh, No! Two absent-minded college profes sors were walking together on the street. 0 “Do you know,” said one, “I must have a double. The other day a woman stopped me on the street and asked: “'Your name is Mr. Kennington, isn’t it?’” “Weil, well!” his friend replied “and was it?” Very Many Like Him. Sometimes children are more ob servant than they are credited with being. Little Rob's mother, for in stance. was telling a visitor how “mas terful" another neighbor was in his home life when Rob, unnoticed beside her, put in his little oar. “I don't think Mr. Tate is’ so awful bossy, mamma.” he remarked suddenly. “ ’Course he does a lot of talking, but be never makes Mrs. Tate do a thing she doesn't wanter. I've noticed that.” Parliamentary Suspension. Sir Henry Lucy drops a hint from the “Cross Benches" in the Observer as to the “suspension" of members of the house—and the vagueness of the penalty. Can It be true that members get themselves named and suspended on purpose to achieve a compulsory holiday? Eight pounds a week will make for modest comfort at Brighton Or Eastbourne. The member of par liament is paid whether he is in the bouse or at Margate or in the Clock Tower. Budapest has a more drastic way. If the member is suspended he is fined 16 shillings a day. That , teaches him to behave. Now that we pay our representatives we mignt make payment conditional on their representing us in the proper place.— London Chronicle. _ _ i Convicts College Students. More than 50 convicts are enrolled : ^ at the State Agricultural college at I Manhattan, taking the various courses offered at the college. They are, so far as is known, the only convict col lege Btudents in the United States. Few, if any, of the convicts have ever seen the college building, and it w’ill be some time before any of them can see it, btrt nevertheless they are en rolled students doing regular work. AJ1 the convict college students are inmates of the United States peniten tiary here. They do their class work in their cells and mail their lesson pa pers to the college for correction. Some of the convicts are studying ag riculture. some civil engineering, oth ers mechanics, and some are studying aairying. Nearly all of the students enrolled in the agricultural or dairy courses are men employed on the prison farm or in the dairy.—Leaven worth Dispatch to New York Times. MEMORY- IMPROVED. Swce Leaving Off Coffee. Many persons suffer from poor aemory who never suspect coffee has anything to do with it. The drug—caffeine—in coffee, acts injuriously on the nerves and heart, causing imperfect circulation, too mmu much blood in the brain at one time, too little in another part. This often causes a dullness which makes a good memory nearly impossible. “I am nearly seventy years old and did not know that coffee was the cause of the stomach and heart trou ble I suffered from for many years, until about four years ago,-' writes a Kansas woman. "A kind neighbor induced me to quit coffee and try Postum. I had been suffering severely and was greatly reduced in flesh. After using Postum & little while I found myself improving. My heart beats became » regular and now I seldom ever no tice any symptoms of my old stom ach trouble at all. My nerves are steady and my memory decidedly better than while I was using coffee. , “1 like the taste of Postum fully as well as coffee.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, "The Road to Wellville.” Postum comes In two forms. Regular (must be boiled). Instant Postum doesn't require boiling but is prepared Instantly by stirring a level teaspoonful in an or dinary cup of hot water, whfch makes It right for most persons. A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put In a heaping spoonful and temper it with & large supply of cream. Experiment until you know the ' amount that pleases your palate and have it served that way in the future. ’ “There’s a Reason” for Postum. _ _ LEAGUE MANAGERS ARE MEN OF EXPERIENCE Miller Huggins of St. Louis. All of the managers in the two big* aaseball leagues have had actual ex- j perience in the game. Even Stallings was a big league catcher many years 1 ago. Of the sixteen managers one is a catcher, two are first basemen, two second basers, one shortstop and two outfielders—eight, in all. still In the game. All the rest, except Mack and Stallings, have been in the game so recently that they can practice with their men and know, by actual feel of the bat and ball, just how every thing is going along. Two—McGraw and Jennings—are graduates of the great Baltimore team. Three—Chance, ! Evers and Tinker—worked together on the conquering Cubs. Oddly enough, I three more—Dahlen, Callahan and Griffith—all had their schooling on the , Chicago team that preceded the Cubs —a gang of merry "joy-riders,” whose ; individual abilities were great, but , who could win no flags. Stallings is » come-back. Evers. Tinker and Huggins got their first show this spring. Chance has been transferred from one league to the other. As to the actual skill and Bill Dahlen of Brooklyn. j knowledge of the game these man agers may possess—it might be figured ! this way; If each of them had the arm and the wind that he had a few years ago what team of either league could stand against them? How far would any club get if matched against this aggregation: Doom, catcher: Griffith and Callahan. pitchers; Chance, first; Elvers or Huggins, sec ond; Jennings, Dahlen or Tinker, short; McGraw, third: Clarke, Bir mingham, Stahl, outfield. , Marry New Catcher*. I Six major league clubs have new ' catchers in the role of first string j maskmen thiB season. In the National Ivy Wingo replaces Bresnahan at St. Louis, Tom dark has Larry McLean's ! job at Cinchmati. Rarklen ts in fOing’s Bob toe shoes and Kelly and Simon are doing most of Gibson's Pittsburgh •work. OveT in tie American Ray Schalck is the So* regular and Agnew has Stephens' place with Stovall. Then, with Otto Miller at Brooklyn, Henry and Ainsworth at kVashington, Cady at Boston and O'Neill at Cleveland the day of the young catcher has apparent ly arrived. To Develop Thorpe. Jim Thorpe, the famous Indian athlete who made such a big noise in the baseball world some time ago. but who has not been heard from since the 1 season started, may develop into a 1 good pitcher. The red man has been practicing with the spit ball and Is • confident that he will be able to mas-* ter this style of delivery. The Giants will hold on to the Indian, as it is be lieved that he will make a good player In time. Sure of Flag. Manager Griffith of the Washington baseball team, who made such a great | showing last year, is quoted as saying “Barring accidents, we will surely win the American league flag this year. We j finished second last year and certainly i ought tp improve this season and if we ! better our position we are bound to ; win the pennant.’’ | Cree Like* Polo Grounds. ,, Birdie Cree, the Highlanders' star outfielder, is rather pleased with play ing on the Pclo grounds. In a recent ! game Birdie poled a double, triple, a sacrifice' fly and w as given a base on • balls. j .

I BIG SALARIES IN BASEBALL Average Player Receives Six Times as Much Money as Average Min ister—t^hance to Think. It must take an ordinary, or even extraordinary, lawyer, doctor or min ister very, very much fatigued to read, day after day, of the fanciful salary figures'" that are being printed of and concerning diverse and sundry dark necks who are capable of hitting above .300 and stealing a few, now and then, says the Milwaukee Senti nel. Indeed, if these worthy profes sional gentlemen who have probably denied themselves years of fun and amusement have scrimped and pinched In every way to get an education and have made themselves and families economize until they could get estab lished, stop to think at all about the matter, it must make them sick at heart and peeved at the confounded order of things that makes such a condition possible. The average ballplayer gets Eix times as much salary as the average minister, probably three ‘ or four times as much as the average lawyer and from two to three times as much as the average doctor, and all because he neglected brains for brawn. When one stops to think how many good barbers, brakemen and bartenders there are getting more than doctors, lawyers and preachers, It knocks the J props out from under his idea of the fitness of things. There is a chance here for a lot of comment, but the object of this little preachment largely is to get you folks thinking about it. Try it. If you don’t get "hot,” then it’s because a kindly fate has declared you in on this easy "stuff.” WHITE HAS SHUT-OUT HONORS Chicago Twirler Holds Record for Blanking Foes, Not Jack Chesbro, Says Statistician. George L. Moreland, the Pittsburgh baseball statistician, has found figures tending to prove that "Doc” Harry White of the Chicago White Sox estab lished the world’s record for consecu- ] tive runless innings for 45 innings and “Doc" White. not Cbesbro for the Highlanders with 42 as recently contended. White shut out Cleveland. St. Louis, Detroit, New York and the Athletics in nine inning games in 1904. Narrows' Chances. Manager Ganzel of Rochester has re ceived a letter from Roland Barrows, in which the injured outfielder said that his physicians had told him that he need fear no permanent injury to his left leg. Barrows is optimistic that he will be &{)le to get into harness again at least by August 1. Weight of Pirates’ Bats. A statistical person has figured out that the bats used by the Pirates in the twenty-six seasons they have been in the big leagues represent 1.379.0S0 ounces, or 80,130 pounds, or 43 tons of wood. It's all right, but, according to our figuring, 1,379,080 ounces make 86,192 pounds. Wood's 1913 Salary. Joe Wood's 1913 salary is said to be $7,500, more than any other pitcher in the American league is getting, not #ven excepting Waish of the White Sox and Johnson of the Washington club. Wood is the star pitcher of the Boston American league team. Increase Seating Capacity. President Comiskey of the White Sox plans to increese the seating ca pacity of his park from 30,000 to 45,000 for 1914. The changes contemplated will involve an expenditure of more than $150,000. Jackson After Record. P.asebal! writers, critics and fans in cluded claim that Joe Jackson, the hard-hitting right fielder of the Naps, will break all previous records in bat ting this season. Announce Each Batter. President John H. Farrell of the New York State league has instructed his umpires to announce the name of each batter when be comes to bat the first time. Better Than Expected. While the chances to fly a pennant in St. Louis are away outside, neither the Cardinals nor the Browns are as punk as they were touted to be before the opening of the season. No-Hit Game. Pitcher Friedley of the Attica, Ohio, team twirled a no-hit-no-run game against the Bucyrus High. He al& fanned IS batters in this game. THE LURE OF THE WEST WE8TERN CANADA ATTRACTING THOU8ANDS OF SETTLERS. Writing on the Canadian West, an eastern exchange truthfully says: “The West still calls ytfth impera tive voice. To prairie and mountain, and for the Pacific Coast, Ontario’s young men and women are attracted by tens of thousands yearly. The great migration has put an end to the fear, freely expressed not many years ago by those who knew the West from tbe lakes to the farther coast of Van couver Island, that Canada would some day break in two because of the predominance of Continental European and American settlers In the West." This is true. While the immigra tion from the United States Is large, running close to 150,000 a year, that of the British Isles and Continental Europe nearly twice that number, mak ing a total of 400,000 per year, there la a strong influx from Eastern Can- ■ ada. It is not only into the prairie 1 provinces that these people go, but many of them continue westward, the glory of British Columbia’s great trees and great mountains, the excellent agricultural valleys, where can be grown almost all kinds of agriculture and where fruit has already achieved prominence. Then the vast expanse of the plains attract hundreds of thou sands. who at once set to work to cul tivate their vast holdings. There is still room, and great opportunity in the West. The work of man’s hands, even in the cities with their record breaking building rush, is the small-^ est part of the great panorama that is spread before tbe eye on a journey through the country. Nature is still supreme, and man is still the divine j pigmy audaciously seeking to impose his will and stamp his mark upon an uneccquered haif continent i The feature that most commends itself in Western development today is the “home-making spirit.” The West will fir.d happiness in planting trees and making gardens and build ing schools and colleges and universi ties. and producing a home environ ment so that there will be no disposi tion tc regard the country as a tem porary place of abode in which every one is trying to make his pile prepar atory to going back East or .becoming a lotus-eater beside tbe Pacific. Tbe lure of the West is strong. It will be still stronger when the crude new towns and villages of the plains are embowered in trees and vocal with the song of birds.—Advertise ment.

Betty Green, a trotting mare de stroyed in a fire at Belleville, 111., was given funeral honors in keeping with her record of 2:10 and with the affectionate regard of her owner, Wil liam L. Reichert. The body was drawn to the grave on the Walnut Grove stock farm, by six blooded yo^hgsters. and was lowered by stable boys. The coffin was rose lined. Mr. Reichert pronounced a eulogy after recount%>g the mare's track achieve ments. Perhaps Betty Green's terrible form | of death aroused Mr. Reichert's sym pathies the more keenly, but the in tense love of a great race hers; by an owner is a primary sentiment. Maud S. had more friends than any horse in history, being approachable, in j quisitive and fond cf contact with the many whom Robert Bonner delighted in taking to her paddock. James R. Keene mourned Sysonby as he would one of his family. This superb runner had the admiration of the east without the popularity of Maud S., a trotter and a record break er in times when trotting was the consuming passion. Mr. Keene, who never bet on the races, was to have Sysonby's remains preserved, but his only monument is his unique position ‘j among American thoroughbreds. I * ' Obeyed Order*.
