At \f\e age’of ten yéars little Miss Dixie [Harland ~stood up on| a chair and made. ap—astonishing Jtat‘enﬁenti to the grandmother who was|southern . born dnd .had given the ‘cﬁliid her ‘ name.” [t was to the effect|that she would never marry anyone buit a hero. 1 That statément had been | repeated -every year when Grandma !naid‘ her. annual visit of two weeks, when.

GOT INTO THE WRONG HOUSE

Chicage Man Heard Funeral Sermon - Thinking it Was Preacher’s . Discourse at Wedding. - A Chieago man who started eut one day last week to attend a wedding went- astray -and got = into a house where ‘a funeral was being held, claims the Chicago Record-Herald. He was a little late and was conducted through # rather dark ha,a into a back parlof, where he found a vacant chair, Unfortunately it was impossible to-See where he at just ‘what was going on in the froat room, where the preacher and the corpse were located. He was able. however, to hear distinctly. The preacher ‘was in the middle of his discoursge. - . . : =lt is true,” he was saying, "that this. is & most solemn occasion, but let us tiy to look upon the more hopeful side, It may all be for the best.

Pans, basins, dippers, _quart . measures, pie-tins, ‘wash-dishes—one followed the other with a rattle and a bang, and one could imagine the, old- horse ‘saying to himself as he ran: = ‘ _ ‘“For the land's sake, but if tiis girl ig looking for a hero I hope she’ll find . him wighty -soon, for 'l'm .getting ghort of breathi”. = : 3 - Miss Dixie found -him, and soon. ‘He was coming along the same Kighway, ~dressed as a -walking tourist. She tried to pull the old horse up at ‘the ‘houise, but he had .the bit in his teeth. It was,still nine miles to the’ county line, and the last nutmeg grater had been unloaded. The girl. was about to- throw away whip~and lines and ‘jump . when the young man raised- a hand in protest and peised himself. ‘He jumped for the head of the. horse and caught -the - bridle. Horse and man went-down in the dust in a heap, and the wagon seemed to fall “apart. - Then Miss Dixié found berself on her feet in the may-weeds, unhurt, and she investigated.

S e , .. The-.gardenér and the cook were on their way down-to tlie gate to take ‘orders, and the peddler -was. coming 'on}tlvle.-run, but halting to.pick up an: object here and there. ;. ; * The stranger lay on his right sides .with-a part of the body of thé horse ‘resting on his right leg. He was unconscious and had broken bones. Fgor just ten seconds as she looked at him the girl’s lip trembled and her knees grew “weak. Then she threw. it off. Her mather was told to telephone the doctor, the cook to brimg out a mattress, and she and the gardener carefully -pulled the urfconscious stranger ‘out of the ruck. Then, with the help of the -peddler, he .was carried into the house.. * ' - : ' % _.“Co"me here. tomorrow and I will seéttle. dll damages,™ said Miss Dixie ‘to the peddler, who was grinning and seeking fo -find out where the ro‘mance came in. .

“NAPS” CANNOT TOUCH' PLANK Time Has Gone By When Heavy Hitting Clevelanders Have Any Ter- ' rors for Star Southpaw. - The time was when Connie Mack would no more think of sending Eddie Plank, his star southpaw, against the Naps than he-would. of using Paddy Livingston on the mound against the Tigers. In the days when the Nag depended upon Lajoie, Brggley, Sto: vall, Turner, Bemis and other righthanded batters to drive in the runs, Connie néver sent Plank against the Naps excé‘pt in cases where his other

UMPIRE SHOWS HIS METTLE Billy. Evans, Made Target of by Pop . Bottle Throwers, Refuses to © Move—ls Cheered. “Umpires are brave men—at least the great majority of them. One of the bravest things I ever saw was the act of ‘Billy Evans on the old White Sox grounds in Chicago,” writes Hugh Fullerton in the American Magazine. “On that park, happily, now vacated, there was a tier of seats known as the stock yards, in which gathered one of the most dangerous crowds (for umpires) in the country. They were regulars who occupied the same seats almost cvery day, and who fought for them. These seats, of course, were not reserved, but hundreds «claimed a title to certain places, They paid their quarters and if anyone! was -in the place and refused to mcve, he was tossed out and thrown over, the heads of the crowd to the bottom. .° . “That crowd started after Evans, who had given-a clcse decision at third base against Chicago. Evans walked over onto foul ground, b_acka of first base and a shower of bottles fell anound him. It lQokéd as if a hundred men iwere throwing bottlés at the umpire. ' One bottle touched his cap, several %bounded and struck him, one hit him on the arm.

“During this bombardment Evans did nof turn his head. He stcod watching the batter. For at least three minutes th& battle whistled around his head. The people in the grand stand shouted for him to:run, fearing he would be killed. The players begged him to move into the diamond out of range. -He stood rtill, with his back to his foes, until the batter made a base hit, then trotted down nearer second base to watch for a play there, " “As the opposing nine took the field a few moments later Evans walked to the same position pack of first base, and the crowd ' that had tried to kill him stood ‘up and cheered him. They recognized a brave man. One feilow threw a bottle, and the crowd pitched him. down the steep steps, passing him along until he hit the fence.”

Jimmy Johnson, with the White Sox on their spring training jaunt,.is batting near the .300 mark in the Southern league. He is ome of Birming: ham'’s reliable men, both at bat and in the field. . . ' Eastern critics are picking the .St. Louis Cardinals as the dark horse.in the National league. These same prophets pick the White Sox as the dark borse in the American league. - . “Bill” Bergen is the champion putback batsman of the.country. "He has practically won several games for Brooklyn by making hits drawing away from the plate. Joe Jackson of the, Naps, is getting like Ty Cobb in one respect. He wante to play the game according to the dictates of his own ¢onscience. He does not want a coacher to -stop him when he thinks he has a chance in other words. \ Pitcher Jack Powell, of the Browns, has been'in the major league 15 years. He joined Cleveland in 1897. Until this year he had .participated in 450 games winning 229 and losing 221. Harry Arndt, the former Providence player, |is putting up the game of his life at first for the Wilkesbarre Club of the New York State leagune. Harry is handling low thrown balls to perfection and has shown a decided improvement in his hitting. Derrick, who is understudy for Hd die Collins, is touted as one of the most promising young infielders on any American league alub, -~

QUAKER FANS ARE CENSURED

Washington Player Complains That Champion - Athletic Team Is Often - Roasted Without Cause.

According to the views of some of the players on the Washington team, the fans in Philadelphia are the most inconsiderate in, their treatment of their own players to be found anywhere in the country, with the fans of St. Louis a close second. . , “There’s some excuse for the fans in St. Louis to feel that the price they pay for tickets gives them the right to get after a team that is so persistently in last nlace, but what explanation. can the Philadelphia fans make for such conduct?” asked-one of MecAleer’s boys. - : " “When we went over to Philadelphia to play last month the people in that city: were getting their first chance to see the Athletics since that team set all fandom aflame by winning the world’s championship. ) “Did the fans rise up .and give Mack’s champions the greeting they deserved? They did not. They sat in their seats snarling and barking at Connie’s men for every little slip they nade, actually hooting and jeering at a team that had only six months before deteated ' the supposedly invincible Cubs. Lo ’ : “Of course, everybody knows that the fans in Pnilaaex{tﬁbre famous the world over for giving up early in the struggle if a visiting team gets in thé lead, but who would believe that at the beginning of the season they would roast the players who had brought so much glory to that city 2",

SHECKARD HELPS THE CUBS Left Fielder's Work on Bases Is of Greatest Value in Run Getting of o : Chicago Team. “Who is the most valuable man on the Cub baseball team?” One (Chicago fan asked that of anpther on the West side grounds the other day. . _ ~ “That is a question difficult to answer,” responded the other. ‘“Schulte, Hofman, Sheckard, Chance, Tinker and Archer are all wonderful players and are doing an equal share to bring anbther pennant to Chicage. But I will say Jimm){ Sheckard iy not appreciated by the fans as much-as Hofman, Schulte, Tinker or 'Chafice. Why? That is a problem. He does not get

Not only that, but he seems so unconcerned in the field and at the plate. In that respect he is much like Schulte. “It is true Sheckard does not receive the praise he is entitled to. Schulte may surpass him as far as driving in runs is concerned, but he does not do much more toward getting points. .Sheckard’s work probably is pverlooked because he has always been close to the top, or on top, of the batting order, where he has not been able to break up games with doubles or triples. Up to this season he has always followed Evers, in which posi‘tion he has been forced to sacrifice frequently. Now he leads off and is depended upon to start the club on the ‘road to victory in each game. Thut Is where he has been of immense value !to the team. His record proves this.”

Jake Beckley’s Breakfast. - While Roger Bresnahan, the manager of the St. Louls Cardinals, was devouring a couple of soft-boiled eggs the other noon, he told a funny story on Jake Beckley. ; *“Jake was ordering his breakfast on a diner one morning and- as he did not -feel very hungry, he ordered one soft-boiled egg. He glanced through the bill of fare, but nothing else appealed to him, and he’decided to orde> another-egg. Instead of changing the one to a two, he put another one beside the one he had originally made and handed the order to the waiter. You can {imagine his surprise and consternation when the waiter brought in 11 soft-boiled eggs and proved Jake had ordered them all by showing him the figures on the order slip.” _

s Home Umplire’s Excuse. “We were playing at a little town In Pennsylvania some years ago,” says Tom Downey, ‘“Just a barnstorming game, of course, and a local citizen, who was recommended as an able umpire, did the arbitrating. He handed everything, without exception, to the home team, and it took us some awful hustling to even up the handicap. FFinally, when he called me out on a strike way under my shdetops, I protested. “‘My dear sir,’ said the umpire, ‘how can I do otherwise? lam a prominent business man here, and president of five different societies. Would you ‘have me become an)\outlaw and an putcast-in my own community?’ " . Why Catchers Wear Mask.. “George, dear, just one more ques: ‘tion, and I promise not to bother you any more during the game,” she pleaded; according to the Detroit Free Press. “Well; what is it now?” said George, impatiently. “Tell me why the catcher wears that funny “wire thing on his face.” “Oh, sometimes the catcher gets mad at the umpire’s decisions.” “What has that to do with it?” “Some day he might get toc mad and bite the umpire, and as they don't want that to happen they mux zle him."

VERY year the great resorts of Europe are visited by thousands . of tourists who apparently have no knowledge of the great na- . tional parks which have betn creatad by congress for the benefit of the people and in which there are natural features.and views that cannot be surpassed. . . o If the traveler seceks Alpine glaciers he has only to 'go to the Glacier+National Park, where there ‘are more glaciers in the same area than in Switzgrland; if he desires to travel in comfort over finely built roads that rival ‘those of France, Switzerland and Germany, the Yellowstone Park extends its -invitation to him. . If he is attracted to Europe by the mystery of the Black Forest, he can find more majestic and impressive forests on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada, in. the Yosemite, Sequoia and General Grant porks. - If his thoughts turn-to the clear blue lakes of: Switzerland, he can find their counterparts in the Glacier and Crater lake national parks. - S Should he be anxious to risk his life in scaling snow-clad peaks, he has only to repair to Mount Ranier in Washington, whose steep slopes and ice-covered »top will furnish spert exciting enough for the most daring of mountaineers. If he Is interested in the ruins of prehistoric people, the Casa Grande ruin in Arizona and the Mesa Verde -National Park in Colorado will show him how the aboriginal inhabitants of America lived hundreds of years before its discovery by Eurcpeans. . : o

' Yellowstone Is Best Known. The Yellowstone National Park in northwestern Wyoming is the -oldest and the best known'of all the parks and reservations. It was created by ans act of congress in 1872, and ever since that time the government has been constructing roads and cutting trails, until now the park is in a high state of deyelbpment and all parts of it are accessible to the traveler. In the park may be seen .natural phenomena the like of which is found nowhere else in the world. Here are guysers that throw. jets of steam and hot water into the air, great terraces formed from deposits of mineral matter in the water "thrown. up by the geysers, ,and -the great falls of Yel lowstone river which traverses a beautiful multi-colored canyon that is sec‘ond only to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. g In this park may be seen the deer, the bear, the antelope and the bison on their native range, because hunting. is prohibited and the bands of deer and antelope .rcam through the valleys and over the.slopes as they did years before they were practically exterminated in the greater .part of the west. - 8 ’ The Glacier National Park in northern Montana on the Canadian border is the newest of the parks controlled by the federal government.. This park has an area of about 915,000 acres and has a maximum length of sixty miles. Yosemite in Class by Itself. .

When one speaks of California the Yosemite Park naturally comes to mind. As long 4go as 1864 an act of congress granted the Yosemite valley and the Mariposa big tree grove to the State of California for public use and recreation. The legislature of . California ‘by the act approved March 3, 1905, re-ceded the jurisdiction and ownership of this tract to the United States, and only since June 11, 1906, has the management of the" Yosemite National Park been under the control of the federal government. The entire park h'[is an area of about 36 by 40 miles. The Yosemite valley, which is the most frequently ‘visited place is about 7 miles long and 3 mile wide. In the center of tris valley is a level, parklike meadow, through which runs the Merced river, while on either side the mountains rise steep and precipitous to a height of 4,000 feet above the. floor of te valley. . ¢ . Numerous streams drop fro® “the ‘eage of the cliff to the valley below. The first of these as the -tourist en- | ters the valley is the Bridal Veil Falls. A stream fully thirty feet wide falls a distance of 600 feet, then rushes over a sloping rile of debrig, and then drops perpendicularly 300 feet more. . The great waterfall in this park, however, is the Yosemite Falls. This is a stream thirty-five feet wide, and in the spring and early summer when the snow is welting upon ‘the high .BSierra its rosr can be heard all over the valley, and the,shock of the degcent rattles ihe windows a mile away. This fall t 8 conceded by all critics to be one of the most wonderful and beautiful cascades in the world. °lts first fall is about 1,600 feet sheer drop, then come a series of cascades partly hidden in which the fall is over 600 feet, and finally a vertical drop of 400 feet. ' * From the cliffs surrounding the val-, ley the scens is one of remarkable

inspiration and beauty. At the foot o fthe traveler lies the valley fleor—the green trees and meadows and the winding river giving the effect of a rich velvet carpet over which 'a line of silver has been drawn; h;ere and there one gets glimpses of the foaming white waters hurling themselves to the valley below; on both sides of the valley rise the great. walls of rock, sculptm{zd-by the elements into various fantastic shapes and figures. - Trees Twenty Centuries Old. In the Yosemite the Sequoia and the General Grant NAtional parks are found the .groves of hi’g,:‘trees the like of which are seen nowhere else.in the world. These trees grow to a height of 340 feet and have a circumference of over 100 feef at the base, the bark sometimes exceeding 40 inches in thickness. ) o The rings In the trunks of these trees show that many of them are over 2,000 years old. Cathedrais and castles have been butlt and fallen into

It was along about this time ‘that Dr. George Moulton organized in - Lafayette a class in the Yoga philoso-= phy.

Moulton taughs that the Yoga philosophy was She religion of the Indian Yogi, or Socothsayers. | . - One of-the.leading features of this - ‘dectrine was that of the "\yithdf‘awa},'r or separation from kindred and friends. It was this . feature that at Jast fastened itself upon Mrs. Stone as subsequent events showed. Méetings of Dr. Moulton’s class were held in several homes. Books on the subject were put in the hands of Mrs. Stone and other members of the class, and their interest grew. _ Radical and revolutionary as wera the books. of the cult, Dr. Moulton seeﬁed to go still beyond them, and evolve a Yoga philosophy of his own. But the members-of the class were warned not to make public any of the ‘private and secret instructions of how ' to send telepathic messages, how to } Lypnotize, how to use the key of Karma Yoga, and how to heal the sick. l One of the injunctions in this respect ' was “Do°not become a laughing stock ( for your friends by telling them what ‘l you can do or how you do it.” - Bee on Nose ‘Wrecks Auto. ‘ Hartford, ' Conn.—George Sgele of Brookline, Mass., has a bad gash in the thigh and numerous other cuts and scratches because he - incautiously | tried to swat a bee on his nose, while he was driving his automobile at a {rapid gait-along Saybrook road.
