The Daily Story
Mies llnttle rierc was m, younff-old
jnald She was H, which Is tho begin
ring tit old mald-tlom. hcre It ends
nobody knows. Moses Shaw was an old
young bachelor. Ho was 30 years old,
tut didn't look It.
1II. Hnttlo llcd nt .Lnnglng. Moses
lived nt Charlotte. It was 100 miles be
tween them as tho crow or any other
.enslblo bird Dies.
Miss Haltlo had no thoughts of mntrl
mony. though sho had had a beau or
two.
Moses could darn his socks with twine,
tew on a patch or mend a tip In his
cent, nnd ns ho hnd nlw'oys heard that
.marriage was a failure he wasn't taking
ny chances.
It wns tho business of Fate to bring
those two persons together. Miss Hattte
had n sister wno lived nt Mcdlnn, That
sister broke a leg, nnd must have n nurse.
That wns why Miss llattlo arrived.
A sawmill man nt Medina heard that
Moses could run, a sawmill ns slick as a
trust can run n grocer out of business,
and ho sent for him.
lleholit how easy It Is for Fate to bring
things nbout If pho wants tol No fuss
nor feu thers I Miss Hnttlo and Moses
reached Medina on the snmo day. They
entered the samo store on the snme day.
She Inquired for ribbon, nnd ho for n pa
per of pins. They bumped together ns
hey came out. They laughed nnd npolo
gized. "Nice gal," snld Moses to himself ns
he walked away.
"Nice mnn," snld the girl to herself as
ihe walked away.
And four weeks later Moses was call
ing on her and admiring, and In ihreo
months they were engaged. It fairly
gives one chills to see how things do
come rtround.
Moses hnd saved up $200, nnd tho girl
half of that. They talked It over and de
cided to wnlt until they had saved an
other jlOO before marrying. Meanwhile,
pelnK 8uro ' each other, nnd Moses com
ing a-spnrklng three nights out of seven,
It wouldn't be so bad to wait.
Miss Hnttlo wasn't tho only girl to
leave her homo nnd arrive at Medina. In
duo tlmo Miss Nancy Smith landed there
to visit nn nunt. Miss Smith was an old
maid without tho prcfex "young." She
was at least 30, and If sho hadn't hidden
away tho family Blblo nn entry there
might have made her out three years
older. Fate might have ordained that she
and Moses were to meet. Fate Is mighty
liberal sometimes.
Every village has Its prominent mud
hole. Medina's was Just opposite tho
courthouse. It would have been filled up
and made a Joy of, but It had been a
mudhole for years nnd years. It was
still a mudhole, and In the best of spirits,
when Miss Smith walked Into It. It was
Moses who dashed to the rescue nnd
saved her life.
"Thanks, bravo man!" gasped Miss
Bmltli.
"Oh, It was nothing."
"But you surely saved my life, and I
can't And words in which to thank you."
Moses stood twisting about and didn't
know what to say.
"You will give me your name?" said
Miffs Smith.
Ho gave It In exchange for hers and
the smiled and simpered and said: "You
must call on mo this very evening."
"Gosh nil hemlock!" exclaimed Moses
as ho went to his boarding house. "Say,
jibw, she's the handsomest woman that
I've ever saw here yet. Smiled at me.
Called me a hero. Invited me to call.
Shouldn't wonder If It was a case of love
At first sight on her part. Guess I was
in a mighty great hurry to tako up with
Rattle."
'Moses called. Ho was charmed. He was
.praised to the skies for his heroism. He
was flattered for his loks and figure. He
jyjai'j compared to Bnynrd and several
ciner om nas-Dcens wnom ne -never nenra
,of. When ho gave his occupation as saw
vtnah of a sawmill ho did It 'rather re
luctantly, but Joy shone In his eyes as
Miss Smith exclaimed: "How grand! How
noblel What would have the world done
without Its sawmills?"
"They are very handy things," he mur
mured. "Handy, Mr. Shaw? Why, we'd bo liv
ing in brush huts but for the sawmills.
Tho world would havo advanced without
Shakespeare, Milton, Byron and other
poets, but whero would It have been
but for Its sawmills?" ,
"Jest so. Miss Smith."
Miss Smith cothd sing. She could play
the piano. Sho Insisted that Moses also
had a volco, and when he tried it out at
her request tho cat left the room.
Moses was captivated. He wub mashed
flat. He was In lovo from head to heel,
and there ho was bound to Miss Hattlel
He must get out of It In some way.
Plenty of men havo been In the samo fix.
He tried to pick a row, but the girl
was placid. Then he hinted that If they
were not engaged he would go to tho
African diamond fields and accumulate a
bushel or two of the precious stones.
Then he said he rather dreaded mar
riage on account of his violent temper.
If ho were to got mad at his wife ho
would certainly murder her In her sleep.
Miss Hattte listened to all this and
much more, and then said: "Moses, per
haps you entered Into this engagement
without having given It serious considera
tion?" "I-I think I did," ho replied.
"In that case I shouldn't want to hold
you to the engagement."
"You wouldn't?"
"Certainly not. Wo had best call it oft
and give you time to think the. matter
over."
"And you won't bo mad?"
"On tho contrary, I hopo you will drop
ta to see me quite often."
"By gum, ain't I a lucky dog!" crowed
Moses when ho was clear of the house,
"Never got mad. Never cried. Never
made a threat."
Moses called on his new lovo Saturday
evening and proposed a trip on the river
on Sunday. Ho wa called more heroes
for It, Ho was also called a darling.
There are certain people who can hide
their defects from the world as long as
everything Is running smoothly. Miss
Smith was one of tho sort, but few out
side her relatives knew It. Sunday
morning sho was upset about several
things that happened, nnd though Bho
had a smile sho was ready with an acid
tongue for any one who provoked her
further. In getting Into the boat after
her Moses displayed such clumsiness that
he calls out: ''Be careful, you lout, or
you will tip us over!"
Moses laughed. He rather liked It. He
aa no boatman, and before they had
gone 40 rods he splashed her with water
from one of tho oars.
"Do you thlnlc I'm a hayataclc on flreT
I don't believe you were ever In a boat
before in your IlfeT' she shouted.
' We haven't got fairly started yet," he
Protested.
"Then heaven only knows what Is to
happen further onl What are you grin
ning ilk a, monkey for"'
"Because It was so good of you to
come "
"Uml"
"Do you know, I'd rather be here than
anywhere else In this world?"
"You'll bo at the bottom of the river
and I along with you If you don't look
out)" half screamed Miss Smith as the
boat grazed a log.
"I fchall save you If the boat tips over.
Didn't I save you from that mud hole?
Hftln't I a heror'
"Thciel You have lost an par. you
fool ypul"
"I can recover It, darling. Don't be
afraid to trust yourself with me even If
we lose both oars. I wanted you to
comn w)th ma today that I might tell
you ,"
'Tell nothing! Oct that oar and row
tralsht backi A hero! Why. you are
nothing hut a plug of a sawmill man'"
Mocs looked at her with open mouth
and buiRlng eyes "Hasn't the sawmill
advanced civilisation?"
,,'Npi Jt ha8 increased the numbr of
UUota.!,
: Calling It Off
"Ntce pal," tatd Moats to himtelf aa the
Walked men.
Tho sudden nnd unexpected Jolt hnd be
wildered Moses, nnd In trying to recover
tho lost oar the other went astrny,
"Mercy on me I"
Hut the half-sunken old log ahead had
no mercy. Tho bont stiuck It nnd went
over, and Moses wnded nshore on ono
side of the river and Miss Smith on tho
other.
That evening the hero, still a. little
dnmp around tho edges, called on his
old lovo and snld, "Hattle, let's get mar
ried before I have time to make n fool
of myself again."
And Hnttlo smiled. Tho marrlago took
place.

TAKE DAY OFF
Will Rest Up Off Diamond With
a Trip to Atlantic City To
day Semifinals Tomorrow
No samos will be played nt tho Straw
brldgo & Clothier Athletic Field by mem
bers of the visiting teams of tho Inter
national Typographical Union today, for
a trip to Atlantic City will bo taken by
them to seo tho sights.
Twelve teams have battled It out al
ready In two days' time, Monday and
Tuesday, nnd tho bIx winners, Washing
ton, St. Paul, St. Louis, New York. In
dianapolis nnd Cincinnati, will meet In
tho semifinals tomorrow. The threo win
ning clubs will flguro in tho champion
ship contest fqr tho Gnrry Herrmann
trophy. Only two of tho teams will play
for the title, nn ono of the trio will bo
fortunate enough to draw a bye.
St. Louis, New York, Indianapolis and
Clncinnott have a rosy chance for the
honors, for their nssemblngo of men has
shown up conspicuously.
Tho Indianapolis printers havo a real
find in Powers, their pitcher. In pitching
ngalnst Chicago yesterday tho Indian
twiner throw to only 29 bat&mcn In a
full nlne-lnnlng contest and gave but
threo hits. In all but the fifth and eighth
frames only three men fnced him. He has
a grand assortment of shoots, and tho
way he goes about his work Is a real
pleasure to sec. Kelly, who forms tho
partnership of the Indianapolis battery,
puts up a snappy conflict behind the pan.
Ho Is sought by ono of tho teams In tho
American Association. Kelly has nil the
earmarks of a regular backstop, and,
being big and heavy. Is ablo to stand a
lot of hard playing.
Neusel Is a man to bo reckoned with in
the St. Louis uniform. He is the Indi
vidual that caused Boston, last year's
champions, to bo put out of the running
with his grand firing in the box. Allow
ing Boston but six hits and ono run on
Monday was a feat that caused man
ngers of the other clubs to stick out
their mlt with congratulations.
New York's aggregation havo tho nbll
lty to hit the sphere and this asset,
coupled with good teamwork, broadens
their chances. Itothaar is their main
stay on the mound. Besides his good
control and speed he possesses n clear
hitting vision. In two times up In tho
Pittsburgh fray he doubled, was issued a
free trip to first and singled. He finished
pitching for the Gotham baseballtans, re
lieving Dooley In the seventh. It Is likely
that the Metropolltan,manager will select
Itothaar to try for trie coveted honors.
Tho St. Paul typos hnve n cracka
jack infield that will hold them in a
notch for the cup. Fifteen assists were
executed by them when they smashed to
pieces the hopes of the Cleveland boys
In one of tho opening gnmes; score, 8-4.
Thlenes, who plays first baso for tho St.
Paul nine. Is the only man of the league
to date that has a average of 1000 per
cent, for batting. In four trips to tho
plate ho had three singles and n neat
double and scored threo runs. Besides
this phenomenal batting ho is credited
with three stolen bases.

BALA MEANS BOGEY
WHO START
If it's a stark naked ball tho entrant
Is thinking of spilling on tho tee today
at Bala in the invltntlon tournament
there, he might ns well sit on tho roof
and sing for nil the chance he will have
of breaking SO or perhaps qualifying.
A hydroplnno ball would be handy, but
If this Is not obtainable, tho ball should
bo provided with rubber boots and water
ulngs, nn X-rny eye, nn nnchor, compass,
rudder nnd chains. An S. O. S. outfit on
board also would not be amiss.
There are laughing waters to breast,
there nre blind holes to find, there are
ocean-wave undulatllng slopes to kick the
ball here, there and elsewhere. There
nro fences to vault, roads to ride, trees
to climb, nnd a-mnny things in the way
of what-nots and out-of-thc-wny sur
prises. Tho course Is only nine holes, but
It Is all concentrated golf.
"Togo Tom" McNnmara. tournament
taker, said of tho course when he played
in the famous foursome there with Mc
Dermott, Nlcholls and Thompson, that It
was ono of tho best "bogey" courses ho
had played on, but It was a practically
Impossible "par" course.
George Klauder, Aronlmlnk, Is the only
one who has ever had a par 7.1 there. That
was five years ago, and tho best players
ln tho country have not been able to
equal this feat. Last year only one player
was able to break So on the course, nnd
that is a unique record.
The first hole Is n long drive over a
valley and u long second shot Is either
caught by a bunker or a blind road. The
second is 200 yards over a hedge td a
blind hole and the next 13 the same length
up a guarded hill, requiring a perfect
pitch to the green.
Out-of-bounds flourishes on every hand,
so that there is a premium on straight
shots.
There is not a level spot on the 400
yard fourth and the wavy ground Is like
one succession of huge dunes. There Is
a withered oak which catches many shots.
Tho trco is said to be withered so on ac
count of the curslngjthat prevails under
Its branches.
The Sykes-McAvoy team once delivered
an antlphonnl oration, which Is now writ
ten as a classic.
Tho fifth Is a fine elbow hole which Is
dlfllcult to reach In two. The seventh
follows tho railroad for nearly 600 yards
to a blind hole. Two long shots bring
one to a bunker. The green Is not visi
ble, only the lake beyond. Tho eighth is
one of the hardest for poor players In
the city. Exactly on a level with tho tee
is a scuffed up lake. It Is 110 yards
across and overy ball knocked in Is out
of bounds.
It Is all right to drive from an eleva
tion across a stretch like that, but It
looks mean "on the level." On the other
side there Is a hill which makes It look
meaner. The ninth Is a short pitch down
hill, with traps on overy hand.
"This course Is no good," said a player
last year. "There aren't enough BhotB."
"I'll bet you played all the clubs In
your bag and wished you had a lot more,"
replied Frank McAdams, committeeman.
And, on second thought, the player ad
mitted that he used every club he had,
and that the real trouble was he didn't
have enough sticks to play all the shots.

TO GOLFERS
IN TOURNEY TODAY
A llttlo thing being crippled from
Infancy never discouraged "Gus" Plcrson,
a member of the Woodbury Club, from
taking part in athletics. Ho has plncd
them all. But tho game he likes best
and ploys best Is golf. He Is on the
Woodbury tenm with Waller Reynolds
and other golf stars. Picrson rides a
blcyclo from shot to shot. This Is entirely
feasible at Woodbury, where tho courso
is level. It would be Impossible, however,
at some of the locnl cliff and mountain
ridden courses. This Is tho only thing
that has kept Picrson out of tournament
play and the golf limelight.
Ex-Senator J. J. Coyle Is among tho
army of local golfers who has that teeing
tingle In his elbow about every day He
has crossed tho century fence Into the
promised land nnd is now hopefully wait
ing for that great day when he will dip
under the 00' s. Lately he has been skid
ding bndly nnd has had several narrow
escapes. He has had three 93's In a row,
whtch s fairly hairbreadth, so he has
taken to llteraturo to try to right the
boat.
"Billy" Kane practically missed his
drive on the second hole at North Hills
tho other day. The ball groveled In the
rough a slight dlstnnce away. He took
his brassle, and, without feeling nny un
usual symptoms, Bwlpcd tho pill on tho
nose. The earth did not shake nor tho
heavens quake, but, as the "first fellow"
said In describing such a shot, "when he
walked up to tho green, lmnglne his sur
prise to find the ball right In the hole."
Cheer up, gentlo reader, you'll get yours
some day, too. At least ono of theso
shots Is said to bo In tho bag of every
golfer, If ho lives long enough to find it.
The traveling cranes in our
lumber yard know that travel
