Go swimming while the swimming Is good. Looks as if summer has returned Iran its vacation. Putting it mildly, summer has been very lenient with us this year.

The one redeeming feature of Chicago’s new magazine for poets is that there is no law compelling any one to read it. An expert says that the automobile is not displacing the horse.

JIMMIE NOT A HERO

Why? Because Miss Mildred Detested Them.

By. GRACE KERRIGAN.

Jimmie Fargo, gentleman, clubman, society man and traveler, had been in love no less than seven times when he met Mildred Burt at a function. Seven times he had been in love, or thought he had, but he had scarcely gazed into Miss Burt’s hazel eyes when he realized that all that had gone before was mere fancy. This was no passing whim. It was love — the only and original. It foamed up like soda water and had the tang of cider three years old. Jimmie was a young man. He had been used to making his vows on the first of January each year, but ten minutes after his Introduction to Miss Burt he might have been found in a corner vowing to himself that he would win that young lady’s heart and hand ere the robins or any other sort of birds nested again. Jimmie Fargo had the reputation of going right at things. That’s the way he happened to fall in love and fall out again the seven times recorded. He went right at this affair in his usual breezy way, but that wasn’t, after 111, such an aggressive way as to scare the bird off its nest. He made his vows and his inquiries, andthen he brought his fad into play. Jimmie Fargo had a fad. All men have, blit they won’t admit it. They flatter themselves that it’s erudition, perspicacity. Judgment, a gift granted to them alone for being so good. Jimmie’s fad was character reading. He could tell the leading traits in the character of every man and woman that passed the clubzhouse in a long afternoon. Of course there was no way of proving him right or wrong, and so he built up a reputation for himsqlf in which he was the only real believer. “ “ lj_ From a safe position Jimmie brought his fad to. bear on the girl of his heart. -• Chestnut hair. That signified a rather particular girl particular about to whom she gave her heart. Oval face. That signified a romantic nature. Hazel eyes. That signified loyalty and love after the heart was once worn A proud poise of the head. That signified pride of birth, and that triflers stood no show. A dimpled chin. That signified that no every-day sort of man could hope to win her. She had her ideal, and he was a hero. Red lips and even teeth. They signified that the owner was not to be won in the usual way. There must be heroism and adventure. Small feet. That signified that the owner was defiant of public opinion to an extent. That is, she wouldn’t make a beanpole of herself because Mrs. Jones had, and that she had just as soon ride up and down Fifth avenue in a farm wagon as in $5,000 auto.

Jimmie Fargo had his own little patent way of interpreting things, when he had come to the end of his string he drew a long breath and tightened his belt. His job was cut out for him. Never in this world could he win the heart of Mildred Burt by sending bouquets and proving himself the most graceful dancer in his set. There must be romance and adventure, and there should be.

The Eurts dwelt to the suburbs in an old colonial mansion. Jimmie Fargo had been invited there to several affairs. When a couple of months had passed he couldn't say whether he had made an impression on Miss Mildred or not, but he felt that he had not lost ground. One April evening he drove out that way in his auto. He wasn’t going to call, but all men in love are pretty much alike. It does a heap of good to see the outside of the house that shelters the girl one loves. There is a sort of calm, sweet consolation in realizing that her hand has opened that gate, and that her feet have left tracks on the gravel path. l Jimmie drove past the house and ten miles beyond, and it was while coming back that Providence jumped into - the auto and snuggled down beside him. Results followed within ten minutes. It was late in the evening. Jimmie had taken a slow gait. As he came opposite the Burt place he saw a human figure raising a ladder to a window in Miss Burt’s room. The golden opportunity!

Jimmie was out of his auto and on that Raffles’ back before ofieTcdnld,, have counted fifty. Raffles uttered a yell of terror as he was grabbed by the neck, and he tried to fight back, but he down and sat on and pounded until a window was raised and a voice demanded to know what was the matter.' It was the voice of Miss Mildred Burt, and Jimmie Fargo recognized it and gave Raffles another punch on the nose and answered: “I have caught a burglar, Miss Burt! Please arouse the house and telephone for the police!” “A burglar, you fool!” exclaimed the supposed Raffles. "Mtlly, tell the idiot who 1 am!” “It’s —it’s brother Jim!* she softly called down, -But—but— ’* ”1 was late in coming home, and the governor locked Me out,” explained the boy of fifteen. - “Oh —ah —I —” No, Jimmie Fargo w»s not a hero. That jads of Providence had played

him false. He had blacked the eyes and bloodied the nose of the youth he fondly hoped to call his brother-in-law some day. That was aIL A week later another chance was given him. On Thirty-fourth street he saw Miss Mildred leave a dry goods store and take a taxi. After going a hundred feet toward Broadway, the vehicle began to cut capers and the frightened chauffeur abandoned his seat. Jimmie Fargo dashed forward to do or die, but the vehicle suddenly decided to be good and stopped, and Misß Mildred stepped to the sidewalk calmly. “I—l —was going to —” ”Oh, it’s you, Mr. Fargo? Fine day, Isn’t it? Do you know I’m off to the country in a day or two? No* Going down to Cliffdale to stop with my married sister for a month. Pleased to have you call if you are down that way.” Was Jimmie Fargo down that way in about ten days? He was! Jimmie was feeling blue for a week after that taxi farce. Two adventures and no romance—nothing to count for him. Then he suddenly brightened up. The country was the place for adventure —mad dogs —fierce bulls — vicious tramps—outlaws and horse thieves. Yes, he would go down, and he would depend upon Jimmie Fargo this time. Miss Mildred had gone to cull the early summer flowers, and after waiting on the veranda for half an hour to work up the good will of the sister the lover set out Far across a green meadow he caught sight of a figure. It was that of Mlbs Mildred. A moment later he caught sight of another. That was Farmer Taylor’s bull that had Jumped the fonce. The bull started for the girl and Jimmie started for the .bull. He shouted. He waved his- arms. He called to Miss Mildred to make for the fence —to climb a tree —to fly away in an aeroplane. And then hlB foot struck a hidflen stone and he fell forward with a crash that dislocated his shoulder and rendered him unconscious for many minutes. It was the voice of the girl calling to a farmer in the next field that seemed to rouse him. “Mr. Fargo, what on earth were you trying to do?” she asked, as she turned to the victim. “To save you,” was the reply. “To save me? Why, didn’t you see that the bull fell and broke his neck before he was half way to me?” Jimmie sat up and his eyes filled with tears. “You poor boy—you are in awful pain. ,r v “It isn’t that. I—l can’t be a hero nohow!” “But what do you want to be a hero for?” “To-j-to win you!” “Whf, I positively detest heroes! Leave it out and be plain Jimmie.” It’s too soon yet, but it will come around all right. (Copyright. 1912. hv Associated Literary Press.)

LOOKING AFTER THE PENNIES

Cornelius Vanderbilt Was Exacting in Many Respects, but He Gave Generously. , Mr. Vanderbilt was notably exacting in his personal business relations—of himself as well as of others, writes Richard M. Winans in Harper’s Weekly. At a meeting of a certain railroad’s board of directors of which he was a member it was found that several were absent. At a fall board meeting each director received $lO, and it was the rule that if any were absent those present shared the total fee. That is, if but half the members were present each attending member would receive S2O, and so proportionately. On the day of the meeting referred to the number of absentees made the division of the fee amount to certain odd dollars and twelve and a half cents. At the close of the meeting, as the secretary handed each member his apportioned fee, he accepted the given number of dollars and passed up the twelve and a half cents to avoid the bother of making change. When the secretary came to Mr. Vanderbilt, however, he found him busily counting some small coin from a purse onto the table. “I can change a dollar for you and will take the 12 cents,’’ said Mr. Vanderbilt; then smiled as he added, “but I cannot manage the half cent.” And the man worth more than a hundred million dollars had taken the trouble to change a dollar for the sake of 12 cents, which, together with the extra dollars, had come to him by the default of others. Had the proposed half-penny then been in circulation he would probablly have “managed the half cent.”

The next day Cornelius Vanderbilt Ijalf a million dollars to establish\s work in New York. And it was\ya a measure due to his constantly kefeping close tab on the pennies in the handling of his large affairs that he was able to make such a splendid gift in the cause of humanity.

Area of the Earth.

The area of the earth comprises 199,000,000 square miles. Leaving out of account the 8,000 square miles about the poles that are unexplored, the land area forming the habitat of the human race is about 27 per cent of the total area of the globe. And unless man in some way learns to live' in, on or under the waters, he can never bave any more room on the earth than be has at present. But you need not personally worry yourself over the matter, It will be a long time before the danger line is In sight.

PLAYERS FROM MINOR LEAGUES PLAY WELL

That winning ball teams are made iup to a large extent from material secured direct from minor leagues, and not from players who have had experience In fast company, is proved in numerous instances, among which are the Nationals. Griffith’s entire outfield came here direct from the minors. This is also true of the Infield when Morgan is playing second, and is a fact so far as a majority of the pitchers and catchers on the team are concerned, r All of which should go to show that the club which intends to strengthen its fences must draw from the small leagues. Success, however, is not assured in a short period. It may take time, and lots of it, before the purpose is accomplished, but it is the only system after all and should be practiced. Washington’s first successful grab from the minor league grab bag was Clyde Milan, who was secured from Wichita in the summer of 1907.. That fall Walter Johnson also came into the fold, and it was soon generally conceded that Washington had two good ball players. The following

Scattering Notes of the Diamond

Ray Powell,- released to St. Joe by the White Sox last spring, is to get a trial with the Tigers. The “Washington team has maintained a scouting force of one and has spent SIO,OOO or so for players. And now look at them! Harry Wolter, tlie Yankee outfielder who broke one of his legs last spring, has discarded his crutches, but will not try to play again this year. It’s some jump from a Class D league to the umpire staff of Ban Johnson, but this Joe O’Brien from the Ohio State is said to be equal to it. Columbus has recalled Outfielder Farrell from Akron. He will act as utility fielder, replacing Donica, the Blue Grass recruit, who will be sent to Akron. Chief Meyer thinks pretty well of Christy Matthewson’s control when he offers to use a rocking-chair when catching him. Meyer says he is the best ever. Lou Fiene, tlie former White Sox pitcher, is now an outfielder with the Kansas City Blues. He is hitting the ball hard and often and is giving good satisfaction. Pittsburg papers say Claude Hendrix is deserving of a great deal of credit and that he has been responsible for the Pirates keeping so well up in the race. John Zanzel is busily engaged In winning his fourth consecutive pennant in the International league. His Rochester team is again in the lead for this year’s flag. Harry Wolter has a new brace*for his leg and thinks the time is nearing when he will be able to move about like a regular person. The cast has been removed from his leg. The players who kick don’t last the longest oa the diamond, according to Hank O'Day. “ Nine times out of ten," says Henry, "the players kick to cover up their own faults." In talking o* the efforts Harry Davis mads to maVa the Naps a winner it is pointed out that seventeen players who worked ont in the spring ore not now with the team.

spring came Mcßride and Street, and this - quartet formed the nucleus for several years to come —In fact, until this spring, when a great haul from the minors was made. "Under former regimes it was figured that this nucleus surrounded by some cast-offs would bring about desired results. The failure of these plans need not be recalled, but it was up to Clark Griffith to realize when he took charge that if a ball teanf was to be built up it must be done along the same lines that the nucleus for a team had been secured. He started out along these lines and he made a success of it. Not that he was responsible for the securing of the players who have made this a winner, but he burned all bridges behind him wnen he let out the old players and made it possible for the youngsters - to get a chance to play. Had he retained the veterans the chances are that if the youngsters had started poorly the old fellows would have been back in harness and the result would have been another losing team.

M’INTYRE GETS HIS RELEASE

Former Detroit Player is Sent to Minors by Manager Callahan of White Sox. Another veteran has passed along the pathway leading to the minors. This time the yellow slip has fallen to the lot of Matty Mclntyre, who was recently released to the Milwaukee club. Mclntyre’s transfer to the Brewers is another cog in the deal that brought Ray Schalk into the Comiskey camp. Thus Comiskey has provided the Milwaukee party with a backstop in Jimmy Block, a shortstop in Lena Blackburne and an outfielder in the ravenhaired Matty. As a side Issue the Old Roman also turned over considerable coin. More than twelve years Matty constituted a wing of the peerless Buffalo

Old Reman Wall Unearthed.

A part of the wall which once enclosed old SL Paul’s, London, has been discovered in excavations at the corner of Paternoster Row and St. Paul’s alley in London. The wall, which la about 60 feet long, is made of and rubble, and was built in the twelfth century. On the same site pieces of a Roman amphora, Roman Vases and some Samian ware have also been found. Other “finds” include a camel’s skull unearthed in High Holborn and a large quantity of pipes of the eighteenth century. Under some old stables In Bartholomew Close—■ one of the oldest parts of London—three Norman arches have been found. They are close to one another, and are believed to have formed part of the cloisters of the priory which once stood on thiß site. ,

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills, and now I have my health. “ If sick and ailing women would only know enough to take your medicine, they would get relief. "—Mrs. Benj. H.
