McCook's regiment was In front of
the enemy, and, expecting to make an
attack next morning, he mounted his
horse to ride down to the picket line
and examined the situation. With this
purpose In view he called on a soldier
to accompany him, und the eomnianu
ng officer made a detail. McCook was
astonished when a little red-headed fel
low rode up to him and touched his cap,
ready for this srevice, for he was a
mere boy, weighing not more than
seventy-five pounds und looking scarce
ly bigger than the Sharp's rltle he car
ried. "You going with me?" asked McCook
The lad salulted the officer. "Jio you

THIS IS NOT HARD LUCK.
Scranton Lost Because It Could Not
Play the National Game Even
a Little Bit.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Rochester. May 26. The Scrantons
added another to their long string of
defeats and put up one of the poorest
exhibitions of the national game ever
seen in thlR city this afternoon. John
son, their ntar twlrler. was in the box
mid Vt-us pounded out in the second Inn
ing. Brown succeeded him, but he am
no better, and the home team kept
rlsht on plucking bunches of swath.
The visitors fielded poorly. A strong
wind blew across the diamond and
helped make doubles out of singles and
raised dust which somehow or other
must have imbedded Itself In the eyes
of the Pennsylvania!!. They Juggled
the balls and threw wild to the bases.
On the other hand the home team field
ed In excellent form; Mulvey made his
usual fine stops, while Shannon put
himself to the front with several nice
plays, and Ollie Beard was with him.
The other members of the team were
not found wanting. Rochester won the
game by heavy stick work. As on the
day before, Shannon led at the bat.
He Is credited with a total of tour
singles and two doubles, and had he
not fouled out in the last inning, he
would probably have had a perfect
batting average.
Beard, Dooley and Johnson also
placed the ball where they wished. Bot-
tenus, who is ordinarily a left handed
batter, turned the other way In. facing
Brown, who Is also a "south paw." He
Bfrurk nut three times. The home team
won th name in the first two Innings
when they knocked Johnson out of the
bnx.
The visitors obtained three runs in
their half of the second. After Horn
er had gone out Kafferty made a double.
McUulre drew four bad ones, and both
were advanced a base, after Johnson
flew out on Latham's single, eventually
scoring on Hutchinson's single to right.
Meaney sent Latham across the plate
with a single, but Ward fietlw out. The
Scrantons obtained no more runs until
the seventh Inning, when two bases
on bulls and singles by Meaney and
Kafferty netted two runs. That ended
their run getting. Score:
ROCHESTER.

Syracuse, N. Y., May 26. Free batting
by both teams and some good work in
the outfield made today's game with
Wllkes-Barre pleasant to watch If It
did result In the downfall of the Stars.
Whitehill was batted hard, but the Sy
racuse team Is short of pitchers owing
to the illness of Willis and had no alter

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION.
It Is Commanded by a Monthly
Magazine Called Comfort.
W. K. Curtis, In Chicago Record.
I met yesterday Mr, Leonard, one of
the managers of the paper which claims
the largest circulation of any publica
tion in the world, although I had never
hiu-d of it before. It is a monthly,
printed In colors at Augusta, Me., and
reached 1.250,000 circulation this spring,
which is dlbtributcd through every state
and territory of the union. The paper
Is called Comfort, and it was started
only nine years ago by W. II. Gannett
of Augusta, who, when he beimn to Dre-
pare the copy for the first issue, he
never had the slightest experience eith
er as an editor or a publisher. No line
rrom nis pen tiaa ever appeared in print
until the first copy of Comfort enme off
the press. He hud failed as a tarmer
and as a merchant, and thinking that
journalism was his sphere, he decided to
invest what money he had left in a pa
per for country people, and fixed the
subscription price at 25 cents a year.
F.very line in the first seven or eln-ht
numbers he prepared himself, and he
am everytning else connected with the
publication except ettlng the type and
running the Dresses.' which ho muM
not do because of his Ignorance of the
printer's art, but be mad a hit and now
employs first-claas contributors. ,vnd has
a business that Is better than a old
mine. The paper always contains a
Ceil Eicfcanfj
story and has departments devoted to
poetry, literature, history, farming,
millinery, dress-making, cooking, cur
rent events and everything else that
will interest his constituents. There Is
a corner for puzxles, charades and re
buses; a couple of columns are devoted
exclusively to the children, and so much
space is given every month to secret so
cieties, temperance and religious news.
The subscription price was raised to 60
cents a year about Ave years ago, and
since then the circulation has steadily
Increased. On every publication day it
requires three special trains of thirteen
mall cars to carry the edition out of
Augusta.
The advertising rates are $5 an agate
line, or JT0 an Inch, and the advertising
space Is limited to fifteen columns. Mr.
Leonard tells me that the Youth's Com
panion stands second of all the papers In
the world for circulation, and has near
ly 1.000,000 paying subscribers. The
Ladies' Home Journal of Philadelphia
Is third with nearly 900.000 copies, and
Munsey'a Magnxiue is next, with over
800,000 Issued monthly. Curiously
enough Mr. Gannett and Mr. Munsey
Used to be neighbors In Augusta and
neither of them was educated In the
publishing business. While Mr. Gan
nett was trying to run a grocery store
Mr. Munsey was working a key In a
telegraph olHce at the Maine capital.
A SUBSTITUTE FOR BLOOMEKS.
They Were Neither Costly Nor Fash
ionabe. But He Thought They
Would Do.
From the Chicago Post.
Ho was a mean man a very mean
mnn.
"You want a pair of bloomers?" he
said, inquiringly.
"I really ought to have a pair," she
replied. "All the ladles In our bicycle
club intend to wear them this sum
mer." . . .
"Of course." he returned. "And you
very naturally want to-be In .the swim,
as It were."
"I don't'Want to be the only one In
Bltirts when we turn out as a club,"
she answered.
"Of course not."
"Hut bloomers," he suggested n mln
uate later, "are rather expensive, I sup
pose?" "Attractive ones are not to be had
for nothing." nlie admitted.
"Attractive ones are not to be had at
nil," he replied promptly. Then he
added hastily. "Hut of course that's
only my idea and has nothing to do with
tne case.
"Some of them are attractive," she
protested.
"We 11 pass that Question." he replied.
"and come to the main point. You
think you ought to have a pair of
bloomers, but you don't know exactly
wnere they are coming from, as you
have already spent your regular al
lowance for clothes."
"That's It." ehe said.
"Unless I help you out you wilt have
to devise some scheme for getting them
for practically nothing," he went on,
or else go without.
"I thought perhaps you might sug
gest some way" she began hesitat
ingly.
I can," he Interrupted, "and I will.
I don't think much of such things, but
I will put my feelings to one side and
be generous."
"Oh, I knew you would, she cried.
"Yea, I will be generous." he repeat
ed. "You may have roy old pajamas."
Now wasn't-he a cruel man?
TWO EXTHEMES IN NKELETONM.
The Largest Is Over Eight Feet and
the Smallest Two Feel.
The largest and smallest skeletons of
humans ever preserved are kept In the
museum of the Royal College of Sur
geons, lu Lincoln's Inn Fields, Lon
don. One Is 8 feet 4 Inches In height
The other Is less than-2 feet.
Charles Byrne, the famous Irish
giant, who was more generally known
as O'Brien, died In 1783, when he was
22 years old. His capacity for liquor
was in keeping with his huge physical
proportions. Ho keen was his angulHh
over losing all his property to wit, a
300 note that he drank a cask of ale
In one day. The day following he was
dead. ,
Byrne had a great dread of becom
ing a dissecting room subject. He
made a bargain with a fisherman be
fore he died to take his budy out Into
the channel and throw It overboard.
Hunter, the English surgeon, learned
of this arrangement, and by paying
the fishermen S500 he prevailed upon
them to carry out their bargain to tne
letter, but to attach a rope to the body
and drag It up again after it had been
immersed. The fishermen served two
masters and Hunter got the body.
The tiny skeleton is that of Caroline
Crachami, the Sicilian dwarf, who was
exhibited In Europe In the early part
of the century. The child did not
grow after birth, and before she
reached her tepns she died.
Her body. It Is said, was sold to a
British surgeon by her parents.
Beside the giant's frame stands one
of the boots he wore when he died.
The skeleton of the dwarf can be
slipped Into it as easily as a pipe stem.

FLIRTING IS DANGEROUS.
In Sicily It Ot'tcu Result s in the Death

in Sicily young men who are eligible

so often as to be remarked, to at
tempt to talk to the alone. Is, to use the
Ingenlus expression of an Italian friend

pays attention to an unmarried girl
without marrying her. Vendattas are
quite prevalent still. I heard a charac
teristic or rather amusing story about
one the other day. A gentleman's
coachman did his part in a vendetta
and was sent to prison for a term
there being no capital punishment in
Sicily. His master went to visit him
In prison, and asked if he could do any
thing for him. "Yes. slgnor; If you
will pay half a franc a day for me 1
can have a better room and better food,
and a shave." He attached most im
portance to the Bhave. If a man sees
his brother being murdered not moro
than anyone else in the crowd will he
do anything to brin the offender to
justice. He may not even interfere.
But he will take It upon himself as a
sacred duty to kill the murderer when
ever he has him ut his mercy.
