Thu baseball player of today nrmls.
lots of gray uiuttur In order to stay lb
the game. This Is my theory. The
man who keeps his thinking apparatus
working all the time is thu one that
remains In the game season after sea
son, winning the approbation of thf
fans u ml the satisfaction that eoin
with a thing well done. Managers are
looking for the fellows who can thin;,
quickly and correctly and use their gin
matter to the best possible advantage
lie is always willing to pay nlnuMt
any amount for a man who con pnl:
off the seemingly Impossible.
Natural ability is a wonderful asset
There are many managers and owner
who say, "Give me a man with thi
natural ability to hit the ball and Jusr
average ability in the other depart
ments of the game and I will make a
star out of him." Such an assertion
would bo a truthful one If the player
In question happened to possess gra;
matter. If he happened to bo a bone
head much of his natural ability would
go to waste, simply because he failed
to use his energy In the proper direc
tion. Take, for Instance, the position oi
shortstop. In order to hold down this
Job n player must be fast. lie mu
think fast, throw fast and be fast on
his feet. A shortstop has no tlmo t"
stop and figure out the next more.
Brains, hand and feet must work as
one. The faster n player is the more
ground he can cover, provided he has
an arm capable of catapulting the ball
across the field to first base.
Until a year or so ago Terry Turner
of the Cleveland Americans had a won
derful whip and wonderful catlike
agility. This he still maintains, al
though his arm is not what it used to
be. When Turner's arm was in good
shape he was ono of the wonders of
the game.
Some men have played short for
years, and among them are men who
made good after they commenced to
get slow, simply because they pos
sessed fine baseball brains and used
them all the time. They knew where
and how to play every man at bat.
Young players who aspire to fame
as shortficlders must learn to como In
on slow ground balls at express speed,
grab the ball and whip it to first with
out the loss of a second. They must
learn to throw from any position; they
must face cannon ball drives without
flinching and know instantly what to
do with the ball when it is in their
hands: they must' practice touching
out n runner at second, for about half
the throws to ratch base runners are
taken by the Jhortflelder, and they
must use their hands and feet and
their brains at all times
A ball player of fair ability with
brains Is always preferable to a bone
head with all the natural ability In the
world.
INTERESTING CHILDREN.
Spokane Idea For Banding Them Into
a City Beautiful Organization.
In Spokane. Wash., where the city
beautiful spirit has been burning
brightly for some years, a children's
meeting was held a short time ago In
the mayor's ofllco. The idea of land
Jug the children Into a junior city
beautiful organization was that ol
Marie Hornburg, visiting nurse of the
associated charities, In giving ap
proval to the plan the mayor offered
the use of his office and then mode an
address to the assembled children. To
the small boys ho held out tho glit
tering possibility that some of them
might some day become councllmcn!
Seeds were given to the children and
it was announced that a committee
would award prizes for the best
flowers grewn from them. Miss Horn
burg said in her address, "You chil
dren are going to help us havo a beau
tiful city, and in so doing you will have
lots of fun, will learn how to euro foi
flowers, and in tho fall somo of you
will receive prizes and all of you will
go to tho Interstate fair and liavo a
picnic there, and tho way you will go
will be iu a parade, with music, and
with automobiles decorated with gar
lands of roses and of other flowers."
Needless to say tho new organization
started out with brilliant promise.
Umps Are Careless.
Big league umpires are lax about
calling balks. "Without reflecting upon
tho nblllty of tho chief umps," com
ments a critic, "it can be stated with
out danger of contradiction that the
officials havo been somewhat lax In
strictly enforcing the rules, nnd time
after time runners havo been nipped
off bases at critical times, materially
changing the ultimate outcome of the
tamos."
f! Points
V' ; For
mt& Motors
Nervousness in n child may bo either
Inherited or brought about by, or It
may be derived from, causes purely
physical or mental, or of these allied.
But, however occasioned, It Is a mal
ady of a peculiarly sad kind and one
which makes It beholden on those hav
ing charge of children so afflicted to
treat them with special care. One of
tho commonest forms Is fear of dark
ness, which as time progresses be
comes tantamount to mental torture.
In somo cases this may bo Inherited,
but it far oftcner comes from stupid
people talking In tho hearing of very
young children of newspaper and other
reports of horrors or from brainless
nurses telling tho wondering and fear
ful child talcs of bogies and goblins
and witches. It is no wonder that tho
activo brain of tho nervous child ex
aggerates all this nonsense in tho lone
liness of tho darkened room. Timidity
In the presence of strangers is perhaps
tho least serious symptom of tho nerv
ous child. It is rarely more than a
sign of supcrsensitlveness and can
soon bo cured by care and kindness
and the gradual accustoming of the
child to the presence of thoso other
than its relatives nnd friends. The
use of nerve tonics and foods may
havo an appreciable benefit, for un
doubtedly tho brain becomes weakened
by tho continued process of exhaustion,
but In a large percentage of cases mor
al measures are of more utility than
physical. When tho primary scat of
mischief is tho brain tho ovll is seldom
due to chemical or structural defects.
More frequently there obtains that
which may bo expressed in tho words
wrong action. The mental state of n
child who is afraid of tho darkness is
a quite natural result of very wrong
Influence. It Is to be a greater coward
than the child to threaten it and leave
It alone with conjured up horrors. Let
It be played with In the dark and told
tales to make it laugh beforo it settles
down to sleep and let his dulling ears
hear known and beloved footsteps in
and near the room. Never at any time
of the day, by any chance, talk of any
horrifying happening which took place
In the dark In the hearing of a nervous
child.
Five P's For the Mother.
A trained nurse gave to a mother
what she called her "flvo p's" for keep
ing children well. Hero they are:
Puro milk, pure air. plenty of sleep,
proper clothing and perfect cleanliness.
Thoso few rules cover most of tho
necessities In hygienic child rearing.
Tho importance of puro milk cannot
bo overestimated. Except for Infants,
cows' mili: should unswer every need,
but mothers should know where It
comes from and how it is cared for
after it enters the house. The best milk
Is quickly contaminated If left without
n cover in a hot place.
The strougest children aro those who
live most in the open air. Naps in day
time can bo taken In a sheltered porch.
Well wrapped, a child does not take
cold, even in cold weather. At night
every window should bo open wide.
See that enough bcdclothlng is sup
plied or colds may result
Plenty of sleep Is essential. Babies
should bo put to bed by 0 o'clock each
evening and sleep through until the
next morning at 7. A nap during the
day should bo given.
Not nil children are amenablo to such
rules, but they should be" trained into
better sleeping habits.
Proper clothing includes that which
keeps u child warm without overheat
ing. Less bundling Is thought neces
sary' than formerly. Wool should be
worn next tho sklu for tho first two
years, but it should bo light weight.
Perfect cleanliness is a matter of
daintiness as well as hygiene. Nothing
Is more shocking than a dingy infant
or child.
Cooling Lemonade For the Children.
It Is an excellent plan in warm
weather to keep somo lemons always
on hand and allow tho children to
mako lemonado for themselves. From
eight years or even somewhat less they
can easily do this. A mother I know,
when sho feared her llttlo folks were
playing too long in tho sun and heat
instead of calling them to como stay
Indoors, would suggest their having
somo lemonade. They thought it great
fun to mako it themselves, and this
occupied, with the drinking of it, con
siderable tlmo. Two or threo lemons
often served for a largo pitcher of the
cooling drink.
Mother Qoos Primer.

rhymes aro given, each accompanied
by a full page colored Illustration and

lowing pages with moro illustrations,
riving a wholo scries of variations on
the rhymo, so that practlco on the
words Is given and they may bo used

HERE THEY ARE.
The New Sani
tary Milk Palls.
TIIE NKW SANITAnr MILK VAlh.
Hero you are again a sanitary milk
pall of heavy tinned wlro that will be
of Interest to tho farmer's wife. The
top of the pall is formed with a grad
ual rise for about three Inches on the
sides and back, nnd from this point
an oval shaped hood is formed with a
total rise of four inches from tho level
of the top of the pall, which covers
the entire top of the pall with tho ex
ception of eight Inches on the front
rim of the pall and Ave and a half in
height, made without scams, which
makes a lower milk pail than any on
the market. It has a rounding hood
which is not in the way when used.
There aro no comers or cracks, says
tlie Hardware Magazine, for milk or
molsturo to collect and sour or cause
rust.
Take Warnlngl
"Take warning!" is a motto that
should bo pasted In large letters on
every bottle nnd can of gasoline that
is kept in the house.
This cleansing fluid Is as useful as It
Is dangerous under careless handling.
Hero nro a few precautions which ob
served will reduco danger to a mini
mum: Keep it outdoors when not in use, as
In many cases fire Insurance Is lost if
it can bo proved that gasoline was on
the premises.
Be careful how you clean gloves on
the arm. Dreadful accidents have hap
pened In this way.
Never keep the gasollno can near the
coal oil can. They look too much alike.
A woman went to light n lamp and
discovered that it flamed in a curious
way Indeed, shot up nlmost to the
celling. It was discovered later that
the maid had filled tho lamp with oil
until ono can was exhausted, then had
taken tho gasoline can, which looked
exactly like it. A slightly smaller pro
portion of tho oil and great would have
been the tragedy.
Do not close a house for tho summer
with gasoline or coal oil in it though
you may think it is securely put away.
A Summery Hat.
Paris is growing crazy over every
thing that Is reminiscent of tho North
American Indian's attire. Why? Well,
that Is ono of tho modlstlc licenses
that the gay French capital appropri
ates without any apparent reason. The
Apache hat is the latest eccentricity
a high turban of chiffon or tulle
adorned with an upstanding headdress
of feathers that slopes and graduully
declines toward tho back of tho hat.
J

THE EVEll POPCLAIt LINaEltlE EFFECT.
Then wo have tho oriental turban, a
swathed affair that will bo a modish
shape In tho fall with the addition of
a narrow rufilo of Iaco extending be
yond tho framo all around tho face.
But, with all these freaky specimens
of millinery, tho lingerie hat for sum
mer is over a favorite. Tho model
Illustrated is a chic cxamplo of the
largo llngcrlo hat on tho bowl shape
order. Swiss embroidered muslin is
tho material used, edged with luce. Thi
trimming is laco edged mauvo satin.
A Simple Prize.
A woman who was limited In her
prlzo giving in a club to 25 cents a
prlzo bought threo sheets of blotters
and a yard of ribbon to match. Tho
former cost S cents npleco, tho latter
10 cents.
Each of tho blotters was cut Into four
round mats largo enough to extend
Bllghtly beyond the bottom of a dinner
plate. The twelvo pieces wero neatly
tied together with ribbon, with a
fluffy bow on top, and tho mats were
ready for tho careful housckoepcr to
slip between her flno china plates to
prevent scratching.
For White 8poU
If the Tarnished surface ot a ploco of

camphor or any other liquid which

with olive oil or linseed oil.
HAND IT TO BRESNAHAN.
St. Louis Manager Is Hardest Worker
In Game Today.
Roger Brcsuahnn, manager of tho St.
Louis Nationals, Is tho most heroic and
pathetic figure In baseball. The show
ing of his team Is wonderful consider
ing the fact that he has the weakest
pitching BtntT nnd the poorest outfield
In the older organization. Iu a game
against Brooklyn recently he had used
up nil his twlrlers and was forced to
do box duty himself. Ho pitched a
fairly good game. Tho advent of the
Cardinal commander to the rubber Is
not surprising. He was a very fair
pitcher when ho first Joined Washing
ton In 1S0S.
By the way, speaking of all round
players. Bresnnhan conies very close to
being the greatest of all round players

as well as the greatest catcher. Very
probably he would be the greatest of
center fielders If he had gone to thnt
position five years ago. He was n good
third baseman too. Few of the great
all round players can pitch and few
can catch.
Lajole can receive nnd was a catcher
beforo ho joined tho Philadelphia club,
fourteen years ago. Neither Lajole nor
Wagner ever pitched regularly for a
major league team. Bresnahau has
douo everything well. Truly, he Is
ono of the greatest ball players of all
time.
Jack O'Connor was the first man to
call attention to Bresnahan's all round
eminence in the game. "He is the
greatest ball player I have over seen."
said O'Connor years ago.
Yet He Meant Well.
Just as tho train was leaving tho
Fifty-eighth street elevated station a
man who bad got off tbero hurried
along the platform and spoko to a pas
senger sitting by an open window In
tho smoking car.
"Quick!" he cried. "Pleaso hand mo
that package. I left it on tho seat
when I got out Just now."
"Sure," said the passenger, picking
up tho bundlo and tossing it out of the
window.
"Thanks!"
'Tley, therol What aro you doing
that for?" demanded tho wrathful, red
faced man sitting next to him.
"Why, ho"
"You double dyed Idiot, that packago
belonged to mol It was $15 worth of
laces and ribbons I was taking homo
to my wife!"
Over tho sceno that followed let us
draw a velL Chicago Tribune.
His Only Blemish.
When the pious looking lady entered
tho London Mrdshop and stated her
need of n talking parrot tho proprietor
"reckoned Vd got the werry thing the
lady wanted." "Course, ma'am." he
said, "you don't wnut n wulgar bird.
This 'ero one, now, was brought over
by a missionary. Tulks Uko a reg'lar

"You'll soon know!" screeched Pol
ly. "You'll soon know!"
"Dear me! How quaint!" gushed the
lady, und.35 shillings changed hands.
"What docs ho mean by 'you'll soon
know,' I wonder?"
"It's 'Is only blemish, ma'am,"
smiled tho blrdshop man. "'E's got

Clyde Fitch's Joke.
"Clyde Fltcb was an lndcfatlgablo
worker," said an actor who has played
In many of tho Fitch comedies. "Whon
bo had a play on tbo stocks bo would
labor over It day and night, often
scarcely pausing for bis meals and
getting Tery llttlo sleep; consequent
ly his health suffered. He would work
until on tho vcrgo of a nervous break
down, and then his physician would
tep in and force him to knock off.
"During one of theso periods of en
forced idleness bo was lounging In the
Players club one day when Harry B.
Smith, the prolific comic opera libret
tist, strolled In.
What are you doing nowl asked
Smith.
u 1 ntn in my doctor's hands, replied
Fltcb. 'Ho tells mo I'm In a bad way
and has absolutely forbidden mo to do
any brain work.'
"Thafs tough,' said Smith. How
do 700 manage to put In tbo time?
"Oh, I'm writing tho Jlbretto of a
musical comedy! replied Fitch, with
one of bis cynical smiles."- " N
Cold Water Without Ice.
Ice is not a necessity in order to se
cure cold water, for water can be
mado sufficiently cool for drinking pur
poses by putting it in n bottle or Jug
and wrapping n woolen rag about tho
latter, then setting It In a shallow dish
of water nnd placing tho wholo outfit
In a cool place If In n draft, all thu
better. Tho principle Involved is
tound In tho fact that when evapora
tion takes placo heat Is given off. The

from tho rag, cooling tho water. Sub

The Era of New Mixed Paints !
This year oporu with a deluge of now mixed paints. A con
dition brought about by our enterprising dealers to get somekind
of a mixed paint that would supplant CHILTON'S MIXED
PAINTS. Their compounds, being new and heavily advertised,
may find a sale with tlio unwary.
THETONLY PIjAOE IN HOKESDAIjE
AUTIIOIIIZED TO HANDLE
Is JADWIN'S
There aro reasons for the pro-minenco of CHILTON PAINTS
1st No ono can mix a bettor mixed paint.
2d Tho painters deolaro that it works easily and has won
derful covering qualities.
3d Chilton stands back of it, and will agree to repaint, at his
own expense, ovory surface painted with Chilton Paint that
proves defective.
4th Those who havo uBed it are perfectly satisfied with it
and recommend its use to others.
How's Your Liver?
The natural laxative and antiseptic of
tho bowels Is tho bile, which Is secreted by
tho liver. The bllo Is nature's lubricant.
When your liver is torpid it produces less
bile, and of course tho bowels becomo
clogged with poisonous matter which finds
its way into the blood, producing bilious
ness and constipation and indigestion.
Smith's Pineapple and Butternut Pills
aro by far tho best remedy to empty the
bowels and relievo congested conditions.
They act as a true tonic to the liver, pre
venting as well as curing constipation. One
or two of these pills taken every night
mildly stimulates the liver and corrects
biliousness without tho driving purgative
effects of harsh drugs. Their gentle laxa
tive action especially commends them to
ladles who bloat after eating and are sub
ject to periodical headaches. To secure a
healthy secretion of bile, thus establishing
perfect bowel regularity, these little pills
possess merits peculiarly their own, not
found in other remedies. Physicians use
and recommend. They form no habit.
You should always keep them on hand.
These little Vegetable Pills will ward off
many ills.
