asked Dottle, Innocently.
"4'd rather tska diamond tv-er . Very
riengeroii weather we're having.' I com
promised, lamely.
"You don't enthuse about the bleachers,"
she accused.
'I prefer brunettes to remain aa natura
msde them." I avoided.
"Ona might alrnnst consider your atti
tude a grand stand-off," she remarked.
"I carry accident Insurance only. It
doesn't Cover pneumonia or drowning by
rain," I explained meekly.
"Then 1 can't consider you a fan?" she
questioned, ralHng her perfectly penciled
and atenclled eyebrow.
"A fan la Inrllxpensable to a coquette." I
observed.
"But you think or do you think?" ahe
ended, abrubtly.
"Occasionally," replied. "Answering
yours of recent date, would say that the
weather la hardly warm enough to war
rant the presence of a fan."
"It doca aeem cooler." aha retorted, icily.
"I nee Ilia Japanese have engaged a base
ball coach." I began.
"Coach and four?" she asked.
"Coach and nine." I corrected.
"! suppose there will be a new atyle of
Japanese, fans." aha mused.
"Anyway, there will be plenty of police
men at the opening game," 1 offered.
' To prevent players from stealing baaes?"
aha giggled.
"Nobody steals tenors, even though the
Black Hand threatened to kidnap one," I
murmured.
"Meanwhile you will be 'spiked at
homa'?" she queried.
"I never could throw a pop bottla with
any degree of accuracy," I apologised.
"Referring to when the ump la Cftiight

"I suppose the spirit of tha mob needs
a pop-off or safety vaJve."
"But la It safety for tha umpi?" I coun

have first-class eyes."
"They'll have first-class black eyes be
fore the season Is old," I predicted.
"When they ascend for altitude we can
quote 'Upward the coarse of umpire takea

"You'll have to excuse me, I'm a
stranger here myself." I demurred,
j "I suppose if a fist fight were held on
the ball grounds you could refer to the
arena aa a diamond ring," she supposed.
"You keep bringtrit tha subject around
to that every time," I complained.
"You don't find It an engaging topic?"
she quizzed, coldly.
' '
"POP BOTTIJC "
"Entirely too engaging." I objected.
"Of course. In case of rain, the diamond
would be In soak," she added.
"The pagan tongue speaks a strange lan
guage to me," I lied.
"You wouldn't comprehend what hap

to the right garden?" aha exclaimed,
shocked.
"I wouldn't even guess what waa going

ambled lno a pair of new shoes."
"Then you didn't get tickets?" she
mourned.
"No, I bought the rain checks outright,"
I confessed.
"Why are you different from the Chicago
Nationals?" she riddled.
"Be It Evers O humble, I've no place like

the real answer waa. "Homa la where the

"Home would be 'Overcrowded with half

"Oh, say not sol" I pleaded, trying to
head off the crash.
"Got a Chance," she finished.
"Not even' a Miss Chance?" I asked,
wistfully.
."Well, of course. If It waa some nice,
forgiving Miss" she amended.
"Of course the opportunity to ring In
that play"-1 hinted.
"It was a hit with me." ahe admitted.
"A base hit."
"Sav no mtti," I chirped; "I will delay

Increasing Popularity of Short Coats
NKW YORK, April ll.-From the exag
gerated and eocentrlo French faahlona In
troduced during the early part of thla sea
son are gradually being evolved costumes
suitable for the more conservative Ameri
can woman. A clever adapting of Una
here, a deft lengthening of the aleeva or
waist where this Is needed, an added full
nefs let In between pleata In the walking
skirt and the American dressmaker turns
out a sown tip to date, but not portray
in. the fada of the moment which live for
ao short a while that the gown upon which
h.v are adopted looks old fashioned be
fore tha season In which It was made la
past.
Among: the French modela which are
brought Into this country in such great
numbers there la a ateadlly increasing
number of short packet on the elaborate
afternoon ooatumea of silk and embrold-
ered linen, aa well aa wltn tna simpler
nd skirt aulta of serge, mohair
and tha dark llnena. Borne of theaa mod
ela ara on tha order of a long bolero-
long, that Is, aa compared with tha reg
latioo mall Bpanlah bolero. Tha Eton
coat la aeen in many variations again, and
fr warm weather thla is a aervlceable
and comfortable style of Jacket. The
Eton coats have considerable braiding and
thera Is on most models a wide sailor col
lar. On the summer suits the newest col
iira ara of mousaellne or sheer law a.
Tha collar Is, of course, separate and fas
tened to the Jacket by small lace buttons
ao that It can be eastly removed and laun
dared. In hot weather these wide while
collars ' look delightfully cool and' fresh,
but there must, of course, be two or three
auch collars provided, aince, if not per
fectly crisp and fresh, they had far1 better
be dispensed with altogether.
Mohair is a good weight for a coat and
skirt costumes all during the summer, and
for any sort of traveling a mohair costume
is excellent. For a comrau'er who must
spend a part of each day in the train, a
mohair suit made with plain skirt and
short coat will prove most serviceable.
Deep purple, navy blue and black ara the
favorite colors In mohair, while there, are
many new striped, check and figured mo
hairs which are smart.
Wide braid, the color of the material is
the best trimming on a ahort mohair coat,
with collar and cutfa in white or cream
muhalr.
A particularly smart little ault showing
the popular short packet or oat is Illus
trated In the figure above. Thla was fash
ioned of a dp purple serge with rows of
narrow black braid for trimming. The
braid outlined the collar and cuffs and
trimmed the lower edge of the skirt. The
skirt was an espeolally desirable model
In that its construction allowed of perfect
freedom in walking and yet djd not depart
from the becoming and ntylish straight,
narrow lines of the season.
A useful style of dress from now on Is
SUPERSTITIOUS

Sir Almroth Wright AttacksHygiene
The English people, whose pet vanity it.
Is atill to think that they are the only
really clean nation In the world, read with
pain Sir Almroth Wright s attack on the
moat cherished popular notions of hygiene.
Washing, fresh air, physical exercise all
these and many another cherished princi
ple he scoffed at.
Sir Almroth Wright la not a nobody.
Other members of the medical profession
speak of him as "undoubtedly one of the
cleverest men living." The fives of count
lees thousands of children are said to have
been saved by his advocacy of increasing
the congealablllty of the blood, and the
master achievement of his life was his
discovery of the Opsonic Index and vac
cines.
According to Hlr Almroth, the washing
idea la very much overdone.
"People say you must have hard exer
cise, a certain amount of washing and a
certain amount of fresh air," said Sir
Almroth, "but I am persuaded that these
rules are quite wrong."
Talking of waahlng, he aald: "There
Is a belief that by washing people
wash off the microbes. We do take off a
certain amount of mlcrobea, but we also
destroy the protective skin which Is all
around our bodies like the tiles of a house.
When one has a horny hand no microbe
can ever get near the skin. A great deal
of waahlng Increases the microbes of the
akin, so I do not think cleanliness Is to be
recommended as a hygienic method."
Fresh air fared no better.
"The religion of fresh air," he declared,
"haa all sorts of dangerous aldn to It.
The freeh air treatment for consumption
I hold to be a dreadful superstition.
"At the London hospital not long ago
certain men were put in a glass cage.
Finally the air became very hot and the
men became very sleepy. Then the doctor,
by a turbine arrangement, without letting
In a drop of frenh air, stirred the vitiated
air up and the men became lively again.
"The whole of the doctrine of fresh air
requires revision. It is awkward to be In
a crowded room because It gets hot, but
that upon these effects a whole theory
should be built up and large amounts spent
on fresh air Is deplorable."
After disposing in this ruthless fashion
of both cleanliness and fresh air, Sir Alm
roth attacked the doctrine of prevention
being better than cure.
"I have noticed," he said, "on the circu
lars of the Health society the phrase",
'Prevention Is better than cure.' I would
like to stamp that out. We should wait
until we are Infected and then take steps
to kill the mlorobes. As Kruger said, I.et
them wait till the tortoise puts its head
out and then kill It. Hygiene Is a question
of fighting microbes. The program haa
been to kill the microbe outside the body.
That Is very difficult to do.
ment Sir Almroth Wright said:
"1 do not feel that with regard to pub
lie hygiene, domestic hygiene or private
hygiene we have reached any valuable
knowledge and If we never apply that
which we have we shall not be much
worse."
of killing the microbe inside the body, and
that can be done if we take the trouble
to study it The body has protective and
destructive substances and theae can be
enlisted In the fight. Research la neces'

seen twenty-one doctors around a rich

Loretta's Looking Glass-Girl Who Ridicules Lover's Ambitions,
j
I'd like to shake you! I can't see why
a girl sets up obstaclea In her own road
to marriage. For sheer unadulterated and
ldlotlo blind nesa to your own Interests, you
can positively outclass any human ostrich
who ever stuck her head under the sand
of her own silliness.
A poisoned sword plunged Into a man's
breaat ,and turned slowly against the grain
of his living fleeh never hurt worse than
the lanoe of your laughter. The alow aeep
of the venom through the blood never tor
tured more than your acorn. You lacerate
tils pride and paralyse hla ambition, and
you atlr a dull, aching rebellion In him
that may end In hla hating you.
You went to hear hla maiden political
speech. He was an oratorios! failure.
You saw hla awkwafd bande. atlcklng
from the white rim of bla cufa In red
hugeness. You watched him gulp down his
stage fright and awallow hla words as
well. His shuffling feet looked enormous.
And, when you Joined him later, and he
looked at you with the tragic hope In his
eyes that he had not been quite ao drred
ful aa he feared, you laughed at him.
It was when their knights felt, unsuc
cessful, In the lists that women of old
defied appearances and flew to staunch
their wounds with love and their dress-up
veils. But you meanly forsake a man
w hen he needs you most. There are others
who will help him enjoy his triumph. You
ought to share hla defeat.
But no. you laugh! You do It to dis
courage him from making another effort.
You fowl ridiculous because he looked ao.
and you are hla sweetheart. You do not
like to be associated with any but pleas
ant, easy, well-ordered thlnga and people.
If he cannot be a finished product at
the atari you want htm not to make you
conspicuous as he learns bow. You think
of yourself as hts sweetheart. You do not
think of him as your lover sad your pos
siUa husband. Uis ambitions are your fu
ture as well as his. He is fired with a be
lief in himself, and you extract It with
your laughter.
If Demosthenes had had you about he
would not at this moment be sending hts
eloquent, soundless voice down the cen
turies. You would have laughed at his
stammering. You would have said, with
all that hatefulnesa which a girl ran
scrape up on occasions, "Demy, dear, you
are a Joke! Don't make speeches! Make
hay with the other farmers!"
Possibly, though, he did have a sweet
heart. Perhapa that la why he fled to the
seashore and the waves' companionship.
But let me tell you that the seashore Is
not the lonely piece It used to be. Your
sweetheart will find 'company If you drive
him there, and the company may be fem
inine and sympathetic. It may know that
a man's ambitions are the beet of him.
It's a terrible risk to let another woman
get a chance to sympathise wlih a maa
you want to hold.

"The first passenger coaches carried
twelve passtngers and were built like the
old stage coaches, and were hung o
leather springs. The driver sat In the
'boot' and carried the mall. We changed
horses at (Smith's and at Owego. Borne
part of the train Jumped off the track,
sometimes from one U eight times, on
every trip. When we met freight trains
we took our couches off the track with the
aid of horses and passengers, who helped
us to put the coaches back on the track
when the freight cars had gone on their
way. Time was of no account then to pas
sengers." Mr. Merrill relates a thrilling, but not
fatal, accident to one of the "trains" on
the ithuca & Owego line during this early
period. He says: "One thing ought to be
given to history. 1 remember well a little
red car ahlch the company purchased at
Syracuse. We called 11 a 'peach.' It had
a brake of Us own and held twelve pas
sengers. One day the driver let the horse
loose while the car was on the down
grade on the hill overlooking the Inclined
plane abovs Ithaca. He aet the brake and
depended upon it, as an experiment. He
didn't Intend to go down the Incline, but
expected to atop before he reached It at a
point where the village stage awaited tha
car and passengers. The brake failed to
operate; the car ran away with lis twelve
passengers, all but one of whom managed
to scramble off. The car kept on the rails
down that dreaded Incline about three-
quartera of a mile, bounding like a rubber
ball to the bottom of the hill. An Irish
man put It this way: 'The biggest piece
of that car when It was picked up where
it struck the level was that passenger,
badly Injured but alive.' Hla name waa
Babcock. and a few years ago he came
back to Ithaca to look over once again
the place where he took the wild ride.
"In IMS I wag appointed repairer. My
main duty was to follow the locomotive
and spike down 'snake-heads' and put In
new 'ribbons' wherever needed. 'Knake
headV were the ends of three-quarter-Inch
thick Iron strap-rails; the 'ribbons' were
mada of oak, fastened with a wooden plug,
three feet apart, one on a tie.
"Our first locomotive came by canal
from the north, weighed seven tops and
was drawn to the summit of the hill by
the company's horses. After three tons
had been added to her weight, with other
changee. the machine was finally made
serviceable for a time; then Its use was
auspended for a period of three months
and we returned to horse-power. There
was no netting in the smoke stack, and
when we started out, the fire flew up to
the sky. a sight for the country people.
Their horses quit their gruilng aa we
passed through forest and field, and ran
like mad animals, with heads up and tails
flying. ( attle bellowed and pawed the
earth and took to their heels as fast as
they could go until e had parted sight
of one another There were no fences
along the railroad. Horses became accus
tomed to the smoke and fire of our rnon
Stea aod were, soou too- f full las wltli ua.
They grazed on the track between the rails
and the train hands were obliged to Jump
off every little distance and drive them
from the track. This delayed us each time
and became monotonous and annoying.
Conductor Hatch's genius arose to the
ncessitles of the oocaslon. He secured an
old, banded flint-lock musket and a bag
of dried peas. One of the train nan 1s
always sat on the front of the locomotive,
when It was running, and shot peas at the
cattlt and drove them off ur nathway.
There were no trains run In the winter.
It was impossible on account of the cold
weather and snow.
"Then came T rails, which were hauled
by teams and distributed for use. I bossed
the men while tamping the new roadbed.
Our tamping bars were made of oak planks
nearly a foot wide.
"The first locomotive over the hew T
rails was the 'O. W. Bcranton.' Joe Weed
was engineer, and W. R. Humphrey, sup
erlntendent. The latter built the new sta
tion on the hill above Ithaca. Civil En
gineer McNeil, with Calvin Bogardus, Hor
ace McCormick, Daniel Btevens, John Mil
ler and myself, laid out the present seven
mile sig-zag route down the hill and
gained a distance of one mile, which made
the 'Inclined plane' a thing of the past.
No change has ever been made in that
zig-zag route.

Found Sinews of War.
On the occasion of the annual encamp
ment of a western militia regiment one ol
the soldiers, a clerk, who lived well at
.home, was experiencing much difficulty in
disposing of hla rations.
A fellow-sufferer near by was watching
with no little amusement the first sol
dier's attempts. to Kletchertze a piece of
meal. ''Any trouble, Torn!" asked the seo
end soldier ask-castlcally.
"None in particular," was the reaponae.
Then, after a sullen survey of the bit of
beef he held In his hand, the amateur
fighter observed:
"Bill, I now fully realize what people
mean when they speak of the sinews of
war." IJppincott's.
