The bate ball pigmies that used to be called the Giant have, one friend and believer left. He k a newsboy, about as tall an a table, and he crept up to me as I waa reading an evening paper and aaked, "Boss, who won today?' I turned ta the base ball page and replied, "Bal timore, 9 to G." "My God!' exclaimed the little newsboy, with a hollow moan, and turned away sorrowfully. Perhaps he had wagered bi. last nickel upon New Yorkjtf would have to go hungry asomeless until he could buy the 'aextdy's papere on credit and sell them at a profit But it waa touching to find each childlike faith left in Israel. Far aaany moons I have not been able ta discover anybody that believed that the ex-Giants could ever win a game, or evee bad the intention of winning a . game. All the betting that I have heard about has turned upon the ques tion how many points belor the lowest passible point in the list of clubs the Nea Yorks had firmly determined to scare. To encounter a boy who still believed in them waa a revelation. I advise the New Yorks to secure that bay. not as a mascot they are beyond the help of any mascot bat as a public meureer. The way in which he said "My Godr and moaned would have made the reputation of a tragic actor. It implied that the ex-Giants might, could, would or should have won save far the interposition of an unkind fate, aad it compelled sympathy for plaers that have become accustomed to ridi cele and contempt. Mr. Richard Harding Davis returned from Moscow mournful and with a frac tured heart His trusts in princes and hie hopes for Russia had received a rude hock. His presence and participation ta the coronations and functions at Moscow were to be the crowning point m his wondrous career. His ambition ta be the centre of the pageant dates boa the time he wrote "Princess Aline," the heroine of which was the Princess Alix. now the Czarina, -?while Mr. Davis, thinlydisguised in the text, bat frankly confessed in the illustra- tiens,was the hero. It is a matter jof record that when this story was com- ple'ed, a solemn consultation was held, w which Mr. Davis, the HarpersrSSS theriaterested and interesting person. t . j -i u iu -.

Believing that time aad absence had healed some of the wounds in the Prin cess's heart, the Romeo of Franklin auare prepared tovielt her in the spe cial chronicler of the ceremonies of her eoroaation. His ambitioa was the Journal's opportunity, and he was hired by Mr. Hearst to be the historian and eraameatotthe festivities and thus to fascinate the eyes of the world.

He never eVwbted why should he? that the genius who had won praise from Mr. Marrios Wilcox in the Bazar, from Mr. Lawre&ce Hutton in the book page of the monthly , and from other poets and prose writers in the Franklin square gallery, would be anything but an ob ject ef, reverential interest among the athar great oaes of the earth ia Mos .Oae bright moraiacr aeon after his ar ival in Moscow he pat oa his uniform I en hie cheat the decoratioaa WhWl"vmic priaclpali- jacluding these given by the Scrapple Boat club of Philadel phia, the Sultau of 1 urkey. the Begu of the Gricgoes, and all his bsggage checks and his reporter's fire badge.

Toward nightfall he began to complain that he was Dot recognized. 'They don't know mer he cried. "They aon't know me!" And as the day passed hiB wonder and just anger grew. "I have nut been invited to a single royal function," he complained to his Russian vale. "Why, they think I am a reporter! I urn going to leave this in fernal pit of barbarism and ignorance." "Why, who are you, your highness, when you are at home?" queried the valet with awe. "I am a roiter," said Mr. Davis, "and here I am not appreciated. Why, I wrote 'Princess Aline! I discovered Queen Anne! I immortalized the boule vards of Paris! I" and he buried his face in his plumed cocked hat This gifted young man expected and why should he not to be presented to the Emperor and Empress of Russia, and to take that exalted part in the coronation wlaich belonged and which he believes would unhesitatingly be given to the author of "Princess Aline."

They know that princess as she Is, she will be taught to be a good housewife, to sew, to cook perhaps, and to order din ner certainly. For the sovereign's ideal woman is a strictly domestic person, as his ideal man is a stout soldier. His little boys haven't much fun in their daily lives. Concerning these lives the Sketch says: In the Spartin upbring ing of his children the kalstr rivals his ancestor, Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia. According to Klausmann's "Leben in Deatschen Kaiserhaus," the life of the royal children of Berlin is not sweet- Md bv hours of inactivity.
