Wits and Wireless 7 By M.J. Phillips

“l am going to marry Nellie Arm strong,” announced Harry Leclair. He looked just as his name sounds: he was handsome, with a very distinguished profile, large dark eyes and a well set up figure. But his fingers were much stained with nicotine from too many cigarettes. He dressed gracefully, dewoting considerable time to his clothes—principally because he did nothing else. “Are you?' queried Paul Schmitz, quietly and unbelievingly. - - Schmitz was a civil engineer, whose rugged face, capable hands, rough clothing and high-laced boots indicated considerable familiarity with hard work and hard knocks. “Does she know it yet, Harry?"” Leclair, being a consummate egoist with no sense of humor, never knew he was being laughed at, and now he looked at Schmitz suspiciously. - But the big man who was striding alongi beside him was very grave. A > 1 “Well, no,” confessed l.eclair, satis-f fied with his serutiny. *“But I'm go-! ing to ask her—maybe tonight. You see, I've had my fling, and I'm ready to settle down. I'm twenty-five; it's time for me to be getting a home ofi S : s | T i il . /’/ ‘,// //,// % »/’/ﬁ'}/ o I/ i/ / ¢ y'f' l e (6 4 ‘ ] A 7‘)"; : 3 It TBN f s (:¢"’)\ PR ]"‘ 7/’ AU )?’(flh"'/' I' h~‘ m;(/// A 2 24 I\ [/L v/ LT B G4q‘ Iv ,lf' ' j A B\ e\ | i N \:',‘s ,’) { \ 23 l : ' "’_.4‘ QLI ~gl ! e Y N 'V«-nv- i ] N V,Ji, o e ) ,y// ‘t'l ’ ; : ey I‘ “ i T || n il ] , | : T /“\‘ N B I\ | : f N‘ i 2 { | { : ; e | & The Reply Was Brief. «Iy. own. And Nellie is the girl I've decided on.” ! “You'll live with your mother, same as ever, I take it?’ sald Schmitz, bluntly. : j : . Again Leclair shot th a distrustful glance. “Ye-es, I mﬁppose sO,” he admitted, reluctantly. *‘Mother’d be in that big house all alone. Or else—" “You'd live with your wife’s folks,” finished Schmitz. - : “That question can be easily settled after we're married,” replied Leclair, stiffly. ; : " Schmitz always, had exasperated him. They kad grown up together and the “square-head,” as he had privately termed Schmitz, refused to treat ;him with deference. Schmitz would not be dazzled by the fact that his ‘old playmate was the village Beau Brummel—*“Handsome Harry,” his friends called him. To Schmitz he was still a worthless, [lazy youngster, content. to drift along, living on his mother’s slender income. : * “Anyway, I thought I'd let you know,” Leclair said, with the- slightest possible accent on the personal pronoun. He knew that Schmitz was interested—deeply so—in Nellie Armstrong. But in the calm sureness of better looks and more- polished manners he had never given the engineer serious thought as a rival: And yet his heart misgave him when he turned in at his own gate. How embarrassing his position would be 'had he overestimated his facinations! - Or suppose Schmitz, warned by his foolish boastfulness, were to propose first! : . “You told Paul you were going to ask Nellie to marry you?” echoed his' mother, fretfully, as they sat down to supper. She had once been handsome, -but bitter discontent had marred her features. “Why, Harry, I think you’d have better sense! You know how friendly they’ve been ever since the three of you were children!” “But it was only friendliness,” urged the youth. “He hasn’t been near her home for a week!” ; ’ “He's always talking with her over the wireless,” retorted . the mother, her fretfulness increasing. “First he built that machine in his own house: then he rigged one up for Fred Armstrong, and taught him how to work it. Next, of course, Nellie learned

G Doubtful Compliment. At the dinner of. a literary club in Chicago two minor poets were heard in conversation. “Harold,” said the one, “I've just seen your triolet in The Spread Eagle Magazine. *“Ah!” exclaimed the other, a pleased expression coming -into his face, and with the air of a man preparing himself against a burst of praise. “Yes,” continued the second poet; “and, do you know, I heard a rather neat little compliment ‘passed on it by a young lady of my acquaintance.” Harold seemedsstill more pleased. “May I ask what she said?” he queried. Whereupon the first minor poet gurgled: “Why,” said he, ‘“‘she wanted to know whether I had written it.”"—Lippincott’s, : ‘ " Knew Its Pawn Vaiue. At the coronation of Edward VII, it was asserted- that a great number of the coronets then worn had been hired for the occasion, and there is the authority of a leading west end firm. of jewelers for stating that not one coronet a year is sold in London. Not many years ago a well-known sporting

it. They talk with it every evening. You’'ll let that girl and all her money slip through your. fingers, as you've let every other chance slip, you lazy good-for-nothing.” . £,

“Hush!” commanded her son, with a frown. “Let them talk over the wireless! I'll end all that. Tonight he’ll be a mile away, and I'll be there, beside her. Do you see?” He spoke so confidently that Mrs, Leclair unwillingly was mollified. - Leclair dressed himself that evening with a good deal of care. Byt he hurried as much as possible, for he had been impressed In. spite of himself by his mother’'s prophecy. The sun was just setting when he l!eft his own home and turned toward the Armstrong residence. : His fears of Schmitz Had been in vain, after all, he decided. When he passed the engineer's home, the fellow was sitting on the porch, enjoying an evening smoke. From a tall flagpole on-the lawn to another pole on the highest point of the house the wireless antennae were strung. “It he hopes to gain any advantage over me with that rigging,” thought Leclair, triumphant and contemptuous,

“he’s badly fooled.” He dwadled comfortably along the way. When the wireless rigging at the Armstrong place came in sight, he smiled almost pityingly. “Nellie 15 in the wireless room,” sald Mrs. Armstrong when Leclair inquired for her. _ “He knew the way to it, and passed into the house, up the broad stairs to the second story and thence up another stairway to the attic. The big room, cut into queer sloping angles by the roof and lighted by dormer windows, was an attractive apartment. Especlally was it attractive when graced by the presence of Nellle Armstrong. She was standing, a slender, girlish figure in white, at the wireless instrument which took up one end of the attic. The recelving apparatus was strapped over her fair hair. So intently was she listening to a message that she seemed not to notice Leclair’s coming. Presently she reached forward and begah opening the key. Obedient to the trained pressure, the big spark leaped back ‘and forth between the poles, snapping- and crackling as it did so. . !

" The reply was brief. When it was finished, the girl, with a gesture indescribably joyous and light-hearted, removed the receiver and turned to Leclair. The young man had never seen her more beautiful, and his heart beat quickly as he started forward, In tune to her mood. Her cheeks. were flushed, her lips parted with a smile, and her eyes shone like stars. - . %

Unconsciously she gave “him both her hands and Leclair's brain swam with an intoxicating sense of victory. The proposal which he had secretly feared was going to be easy, after all. She was making it easy. “Oh; Harry,” she said, giving his hands a little shake, “I'm so happy! And you've always been a friend, so you shall be the first to know!”

Leclair's brain steadied suddenly as though he had been drenched with -a bucket of water; his bounding heart sank forebodingly. He looked at her searchingly. “What is 'it?” he managed to ask at last, with dry lips. - : The girl had -noticed that a change had come into his manner, but she was too engrossed in what the wire‘less had told to see its true ‘slgnificance. Her head dropped shyly, and the color in her cheeks deepened. “Paul has asked me to marry him,” she said softly. *“And I told him yes. Wasn't it clever of him to—to ask by wireless? Why, you aren't going?” as Leclair turned away. “Wait; Paul is coming right over.”" ~ “l can’t” said Leclair, lifelessly. “I just dropped in for a minute to say good-by. I'm leaving town tomorrow.” 3 China Wants to Be Educated. Miss Roe, who has written an intel ligent book about China, says ' that there is a certain pathetic side to the | new craze in China for education and western knowledge in any shape or form. Even thé man who advertised that he could “teach the English language up to the letter G” probably did not lack for pupils. A young woman had fallen upon the ice covered pavement, and a man stepped forward to offer his services. “Allow. me———" he began, but his feet slippgd and he fell flat upon his back. “Certainly,” responded the youn; woman gravely.—Lippincott’s. ;

There is a famous historical rock on the banks of the Allegheny river, near Franklin, Venango county, known as the Indian God rock, which it s . proposed to move to Franklin to insure its- preservation. It is figured that the rock, which bears Indian “hieroglyphics, weighs about 125 tons. It is believed that it can be Wfted from its foundation, in whole or in part, by one of the railroad steam | cranes and loaded on a car and taken to Franklin. It has been visited by thousands of persons, among them -many scientific men, who have pro nounced it an Indian relic of much historical worth. l The Philosopher of Folly. | “The world owes you a living,” says the Philosopher of Folly, “but it isn’t running a delivery wagoa to save yow the trouble of carrying it kome.”

Manager McGraw. to be relied upon when he talks baseball in a purely impersonal’manner. This is what McGraw has to say about the pennant race: “l am not giving up the fight yet—not by any means, believe me. Neither Clarke nor Griffith should give it up, either, for baseball is a mighty uncertain sort of a game, and you and I know 'that, many things — unexpected things—may pappen that would change the whole complexion of the race. : 5

“Still, if you were to ask me, not as the leader of the Giants, but as a student of form, both of men and ot horses, who was going to win this race, I'd be obliged to say, “The Cubs.” “Reason? Not their pitching staff. No, and not their individual or collective experience as players. It’s simply this: Their experience and: the steady, consistent play they can keep up without the rattles interfering. Don’t you see? If they were so old that they couldn't stand the strain, that would make things different. Their experience wouldn’t save them then. But they are still young enough to go the route, believe me; and that, with their long training in the field of championship ball, will carry them through. ; “There are three teams out of the first four that cannot put up the steady concerted game needful tc beat the Cubs.”.

Players Mix With Umpire.

Arbitrator Byron chased Manager Ryan and Pitcher Kisinger of the Jersey City team, neither of whom was playing, off the field in a game at Montreal the other day. When the contest ended the Skeeter leader went after the umpire and mixed things up with him. Several blows were streck, but no damage done, Montreal ard Jersey City players separating the pugilistically inclined persons just as things were getting interesting:

HOW PURTELL GOT HIS STAR? Clever Littie Third Baseman Says Ita Hard to Play Ball but Harder . to Sit on Bench. ' (By WILLIAM PURTELL) & My father was a ball player and . think he always wanted his boys to play the game professionally, He was an infielder and in his time one of the best and fastest men in the game. He played at Syracuse and with other eastern teams, but retired from baseball while still young, because he could make mors money in other ways. The love of the game still was strong in him, and even up to the present time he i{s hard to beat. I think he meant one of his boys to be a player, and when we were little fellows he used to take us ianto the yard and coach us and teach us the game, as it chould be played. 1 started playing with kid teams around Columbus, Ohio, my home, and then with the high school team. At night after a game I would talk the plays. over with father and ask his advice as to how the plays ought to have been made. In this way I learned a-lot and also became known among the fellows, because I could tell them things about the game. 1 pitched and played third for the high school team. 1 was scarcely more than a- “kid” when I went to Decatur as a third baseman, or short stop. [ did pretty well there and was much pleased when Columbus wanted me, as I hoped to play ball at home, where 1 could see the people and be patted on the back. :

player is a pretty tough one for a kid starting out, and there were lots of bitter nights for me. then, when I wanted to quit and run home. It was

rough experience especially for a boy who has been praised and applauded in a school team, but it was valuable to me because it taught me the game and made me fight. _ : 1 did not stay in the minors long. Twice Columbus called me back and

If playing ball is hard, playing on the bench is harder. [ had a lot of that bench work, fretting my heart out because [ couldn’'t be in there playing the game and longing for a chance to show them I could make good. They shifted me around in positions, too, which made it harder. One thing I learned was to jump in, do the best I could, obey orders and not make excuses no matter what happened. [ was playing with older and much more experienced men, and 1 watched them and tried to learn from them. I found I could learn even from the worst” of them something that might help me. . 1 was nearly killed by a pitched ball, and for .a time it shook all the nerve out of me. I determined to fight it out, and after a time was surprised to find myself less afraid than ever and more determined. NEW CURVE BRINGS SUCCESS Wonderful Achievements -of Russell Ford of Highlanders Due to Spitball Curve. The wonderful success of Russel Ford, the star pitcher of the Highland ers, is due principally to development of a freak spitball curve. Lajole was unable to find it the other day and did not get a single drive off the young: architect. The regular spitball Is thrown by covering the tips of the first and second fingers with saliva so ‘that the ball will slip off those fingers and not take a rotary motion. The ball, therefore, gets its direction from the thumb and wabbles to the plate in a peculiar, jerky fashion. The only trouble - with that curve is the inability of the pitcher to make it break “in” or “out”. to the batter according to the wishes of the twirler. Ford has solved that problem by inventing a way of making the curve break in. Ford found that by moistening the knuckle of his third finger with saliva that the ball would slip off from the side instead of the tips of the fingers, and as <“l:ere was no friction on the right side of the ball it would gradually drop “inside” of the plate. He controls it perfectly. He can also make the ball break outward. by moistening the thumb. .

Pelty Injured.

Barney Pelty, the Browns' pitcher, has been given permission by Manager O’Connor to go to his home in Farmington, Mo., to recover from an injury received from being hit by a batted ball. This will leave Manager Jack with but two pitchers to rely on —Lake and Powell. Pelty was hit over the heart in Boston, and will not be able to work for over a week.

Bernhard to Manage Naps.

Bill Bernhard, the former Nap pitchi er, who has been managing the Nashville team in the Southern league, is the latest man who has been suggested as a manager for the Clevelands. Bernhard was a great friend of Lajole's and was spoken of as a successor to Larry before he quit in favor of MeQGuire. Bernhard has made good as a leader in Nashville and may be a good man for the Naps to hava
