Bo Much Depends on Financial End of Baseball Venture That Any Chiet- tain Keeping Team in Lead Is Valuable Asset. ‘What salary is a successful major league baseball manager worth? The question is a common one, and the answer most commonly given is: “All | 1e canget.” That is about as near as one zan express it in flgures. So much of the financial success of a baseball venture depends upon the showing of the team, which is the con- crete representative of the venture, that any manager who can keep a team in the race for the championship of his league is worth a great deal ‘o the baseball promoter. In these days even a tail-end team s not necessarily a financial loser. If it plays 77 games at home before Hugh Jennings. crowds made small by lack of inter- est in its efforts, it must be remem- bered that the same tail-end team plays 77 games away from home each season and gets on the average a shade bet- ter than 40 per cent. of the receipts of the games. But the big money in baseball is made by the “winners” — the cham- pions and the near champions who are in the race all or most all of the season. Consequently every club own- er wants a winner, some of them for sportsmanlike as well as financial rea- sons; others of them merely for the coin. To get a winning ball team a club owner must get a successful manager. There is no other way. A promoter can spend money with both hands seven days a week for seven years, buying *and developing ball players, and never get his team out| of eighth place at the end of the sea- son. TUnless the club owner has a manager possessed of the peculiar qualifications demanded by the club, he cannot expect a winning team. If it were possible to corral 12 or 15 stars of the present day into one team, handled by an inexperienced, in- competent managers, that aggregate of stars would stand small chance in a major league pennant race. A clever, brainy manager with a good team of average players is a better investment financially than a lot of managerless stars would be. The supply of managers is so scarce that those who have made good be- yond doubt can command almost any figure they ask for. The practice is becoming more and more common of cutting the manager in on the profits. This can be done either as a stock- holder, as in the case of Frank Chance, of the Cubs, and Connie Mack, of the Athletics, or by making the manager's contract call for a certain percentage Frank Chance, of the profits in addition to a stated salary, as in the case of Hugh Jen- nings, of the Detroit club.

La Follette Second Minneapolis, Feb. £.—The Journ- al has received 6,209 votes on its first choice presidential poll. Roosevelt leads for (he'republicans in nearly every distriet ,with La Fol- lette second and Taft third. Wilson leads mainly in the democratic poll. All classes of voters have respond- ed. The results have been kept by congressional districts, and in this way interesting light is thrown on the drift of public opinion. The Roosevelt vote. 2,488 is al- most exactly 40 per cent. of the to- tal cast to date, which is 6,204. The La Follette vote is 29 per cent and the Taft vote comes to 21 per cent. The democratic vote is comparatively smail. Wilson has a clear majority over all other democratic candidates combined, and it is significant that| Bryan stands second, ahead of Champ Clark, who runs 2 poor third, while Harmon is in the ruck with only 30 votes, half of them from the Third Congressional distriet. Roosevelt is the leading candidate in the First, Second, Third, Fifth, | Bighth and Ninth districts, and runs even with aL Follette in the Fourth. La Follette has the edge in the Sixth and Seventh districts. Taft leads La Follette in the Third and Fifth dis- tricts and is even with him in the TFirst. Wilson leads all democratic candidates in every district but the Righth, which curiously shows up for Clark on a light vore. Special at Grand Theatre.

HIS STRATAGEM WAS COSTLY it Was Designed to Break Him of Cigarette Habit, but Only Left Him Poorer. Mac Keene is described by Mrs. Meyer, our landlady, as being a “stu- dium” and “poor as a church mouse.” The first appellation is true—he is a student of engineering; the simile is rather baffling, but that he is poor I fear is true also. Mac Keene is & philosopher. Many men of little busi- ness, I observe, are philosophers. I became acquainted with Mac Keene when I invited him in one evening to share the warmth from my fire—he having none—and he proved a treas- ure to me during many long winter evenings. I offered him a smoke, and was instantly attracted to the man by his story of the cunning stratagem he employed to break himself of the habit of smoking to excess. - Mac Keene had devised sundry and divers tricks to accomplish his end, all without success; the latest maneuver against the enemy consist- ed in his buying the most expensive clgarettes he could find, with the idea In mind that the wanton and profligate extravagance of smoking them up too rapidly would materially reduce his consumption of the weed; then, if the campaign were successful, he would not increase his expense in the_long run, but when the habit was more un- der control he could reduce his ex- pense even below the present by re- turning to cheaper brands. Such in- genuity as this was deserving of re- ward, but alas! it failed from the start, and left Mac Keene a poorer and a no more temperate man.—New York Evening Post. Many Fish Were Blind. More than 17,000 yellowtail were caught by Japanese fishermen at the long wharf recently. This is the larg est catch for one day’s fishing ever re corded in the bay district.

HUMOR OF THEIR OWN Na P’rnfnllen, ‘rndn or Industry But Has Its Own Technical Jokes. There {8 hardly a profession, trade or industry nowadays that does mnot have a periodical or organ of its own. ‘And few, indeed, are the publications of this kind that do not devote a week- ly or monthly page to the “lighter slde” of the branches of human activ- ity to which they are devoted. This technical humor has a twotold interest for the layman, that of the jokes and anecdotes he can appreciate on the one hand and that of those which are incomprehensible to him on the other. He finds no difficulty, for instance, in the familiar anecdote of the bank president’s daughter who, on being informed that her account was over- drawn, severely told the paying teller “not to let it happen again or she ‘would have to speak to papa about it;" but he would very likely be unable ta see the humor of a banking story ‘Wwhose point lay in some detail of the routine of the clearing house. And yet the:latter might be by far the better of the two. the new boy in the machine shop whao 18 told to fetch a bucket of steam from the engine room is obvious enough, but that of an anecdote turning on scme technical point of machine cont struction will appeal only to the ini tiate. Medicine has its strictly pro- fessional anecdotes of sickroom, con- sulting room and operating room, many of which would be grisly to the layman if he could grasp their meaning; but it has also, for his tions by the unsophisticated patients, chiefly of Irish and German nativity. The church and the law, the arts and the sciences all have this double form of humor. No doubt even the under- taker’s shop has its fund of anecdote. One willingly takes it for granted. The body of humor keeps close step with progress and development in all the professions, trades and industries. The humorous columns of their or- gans are there to prove it. No doubt aviation has already developed a fund of technical anecdotes of its own. IT WAS ON THE WATCHMAN Thought Belated Husband Needed a; Drink After Test Handed Out By Wife. The new night watchman tiptoed cautiously over the grass, and diving| forward, caught the little man by the | coat tail and jerked him down to a! seat on the lawn. “Come along,” me foine feller,” he said. “It's up the river for yours. No housebreakin’ goes on my beat.” “Oh, let me alone!” exclaimed the little man peevishly. “I'm not house- breaking. This is my own house, and I'm trying to get in. Mind your own business.” . “Likely story,” grunted the watch- man; “enterin’ yer own house be the windy at one o'clock in th' mornin’. Tel. that to the Judge.” “I tell you it is my house. My wife locked me out, and I was trying to get in this way when you interfered. The front door is bolted. There’s the key, if you want to try. Or you go and ring the front door bell and see what happens.” The watchman, still keeping tight hold of his prey, walked . slowly and quietly up to the front door, then sud- denly gave the bell a vicious ring. A second floor window opened with & snap, “William,” said a voice so chilly that the watchman shivered down his back- bone, “can you say ‘six thousand six hundred and sixty-six separate satel lites scintillating sparks slowly and with respect to sibilance? ” The watchman, still grasping the shuddering William, made his way noiselessly to the gate, then whispered to the little man: “Say, come down to the corner and get a drink to warm you up after that. I guess it's on me!” _— Don’t Forget to Exercise, No man of affairs, however impor- cant or overdriven, can ever be too busy to take time for exercise, unless le wishes to apply for his long vaca- tion a decade or two earlier than js hecessary.

HOW BETHLEHEM WAS NAMED Pretty Story of the Origin of the Pennsylvania City, Now In- dustrial Center. It was not unfitting that Bethlehem the center of missionary enterprise and social service should have the name of the birthplace of the Christ. But the name was given it under doubly fXting auspices. In December, 1741, Count Zinzendorf, the friend and protector of the Moravians in Saxony, came to visit them. The original log | dwelling sheltered both the people and the cattle. It was in this house that they were sitting on Christmas eve. Suddenly Count Zinzendorf arose and led the way past the parti- tion to the'part where the cattle were stabled, and there around the mangers they sang Christmas songs. After that they could think of no name quite so fitting as Bethlehem. But in spite of church institutions Betblehem 18 no longer a religious community. Tt is industrial. With the coming of industry have come condi- tions of which David Nitschmann, founder of Bethlehem, never dreamed. Itn wasn’t an-example of the old’ brotherhood when, in 1909, five men were - discharged: because they had signed a petition to the management of the Bethlehem Steel corporation asking_for the elimination of Sunday work. It wasn’t an example of broth- erbood when in 1910 another man was discharged for avoiding Sunday work, and then three more because they served on a committee that protested against this man’s discharge.—John A. Fiteh, in The Survey. In Imminent Danger. Mr. and Mrs. Aschenbreuner were touring Europe, and had just arrived at Pisa. Mrs. Aschenbrenner was all excited upon reaching the Leaning Tower and eagerly pattered up the spiral stairway, leaving her husband languidly awaiting her return. As she weighed a shade over the 200 mark, her husband always dug up an excuse when it came to accom- panying her on any altitudes above easy falling distance. He was just pondering on the beau- tiful flow of unintelligible language used by their guide, when from the topmost rampart came the “Hi-lee, Hi- lo” trill from his wife, who was lean- ing far out and waving a scarf. Mr. Aschenbrenner obligingly look- ed up and then came to life with an anguished roar: “Cretchen, for your life, get back! You're bending the bujlding!” 4 — Her Nationality. In the lowest grade of a New York public school the teacher was glean- ing from the children who had newly entered the class-statistics of nation- ality for her annual report. public schools, for they include young: sters from every known corner of the globe. Having enrolled Germans, Syri- ans, Poles, Irish, Australians, Natal- fans, Arabs, Montenegrins and others, the teacher asked a flaxed haired mite 1 —hoping to hear the rare word “Amer- fcan”—“What are . you, Florence?” Mindful of her home training, Fiorence promptly and cheerfully replied: “I'm g suffragette.” What He's Going to Give Up. “For ten years I have been trying to give up smoking.” “That s0?” “Yes, but this year I am going to give up trying.” An Endless Job. “Ilow do you pass the long winter evenings at your house?” “Studying the magazine club offers, trying to select a combination that will suit the entire familv."

The harvest season on a large cof: fee finca in Guatemala is the busiest time of the year. At the first hint of dawn a great bell calls the Indians to work, and men, women and children, laden with wide, flat baskets, start for the fields, where all day long they pick the bright red berries. The re- sult of a good day’s work for each picker is about three bushels of ber- rles. At sunset the great basketg, piled high with the crimson fruit, are brought to the weighing house, where the contents are weighed, each picker receiving a check for the amount due him. The Southern Workman says the wages are 7 or 8 cents a day, paid in full every Saturday night. There 18 no more beautiful or attractive 8cene in the world than a vast coffee fleld in this country when the harvest- ing is in full swing, for the costume of the Guatemala Indian is the most effective and picturesque in all Cen- tral America. The woman's dress usually consists of three pieces; a long cloth (generally of many hues, red and yellow predominating) wound several times around the lower limbs; the juipil, or shirt, richly embroidered with curious designs—birds, animals, arrow patterns or geometrical figures in many colors; and a gaudy belt or sash holding the two garments to- gether. The hair is worn in two heavy_ braids, often intertwined with gay ribbons. In the north the women wear curiously woven head bands sev- eral yards in length, wound around and around the head and tied in a double knot over the forehead. They are' made of silk, richly colored, ending in heavy tassels of silver, and are very effective. HORSE TAILS ARE IMPORTED They Come From Many Lands and Are Used in Making Brushes and Cloth. An jtem that seemed. odd in the manifest of a steamer lately arrived from Japanese and Chinese ports was this in the list of her cargo from Tientsin: Fifty-five cases of horse tails. As a matter of fact horse tails, or the hair thereof, are a common ar- ticle importation into this country from China and from pretty much every other country on earth. The American market gets large quantities of them from China, but more from Russia; and horse talls are imported here from every other European country and from South America, from Australia, from all round the world. On the other hand there are more or less American horse tails exported. From various causes the supply of horse talls, like that of anything else. may in one country and another vary from year to year, and there may be years when the world’s supply is short and years when it is plentiful, with corresponding changes in the range of prices. Horse tails have sold as low as 20 cents a pound and they have £old for as much as $2. If stocks are scarce and high in London, and ample at lower prices here, New York im- porters ship horse tails to London; in the contrary circumstances London importers might ship horse tails here. Horsetail hairs are sorted for length and colors and they are used either alone or mixed with other fibers in the manufacture of various sorts of brushes and mixed with other ma terials in the manufacture of hair cloth. Tuning Bells. ‘When bells in a chime produce dis- cord they can be tuncd. The tone of a bell may be raised or lowered by cutting off a little metal in the proper places. To lower the tone the bed tuner puts the bell in his lathe and reams it out from the point where the swell begins, nearly down to the rim. As the work proceeds he frequently tests the note with a tuning York, and the moment the right tone is reached he stops reaming. To raise the tone, on the contrary, he shaves off the lower edge of the bell, gradually less- ening or flattening the bevel, in order to shorten the bell, for of two bells of equal diameter and thickness the shorter will give the higher note. A noteworthy instance of bell-tuning ‘was at Lausanne, where twelve bells, in three neighboring steeples, pro- duced only seven distinct notes, and gave out a most curious discord. Wear of Traffic on Roads. A machine that measures the wear caused by trafic upon. public high- ways is among the scientific instru- ments on show at the exhibition of 'the Physical Society of London at the Imperial College of Science, South Kensington. In speaking about this machine an official of the road board referred to the wear on the various main roads of |- London. “Wood pavement,” he said, “wears down one inch in about six years, except in places where the traf- flc is particulerly intense. The as- phalt pavement in the city wears down about half an inch ih ten years. The ordinary country highway wears down two inches in from three to ten years, according to the amount of traffic.” - How He Knew. “How do" you know that man is a parlor fisherman?” “No man could find time to do any real fishing and at the same time learn the names of o large a collec- tion of trout fiies.” 3 A Good Pole Horse, Prospective Purehuen‘—lvwlnt a horse to use in my work. ‘Dealer—Well, what klnd of work dn you do?

Charuin bought the plot upon which it grew for the purpose of erecting a mansion. The whole quarter was disturbed at the news that a tree of such traditions was about to disappear. 1 ‘When, however, M.

The food value of walnuts is very | high. They are very rich in fat, con- talning as much as 62 per cent, while | the proteins amount to mearly 15 per cent. It has been calculated that 30 large walnut kernels contain as much fat tas 2% pounds of lean beef, and yet the walnut is used as a supple- ment to a square meal. Added to this the glass of port, say two fluid i ounces, contains besides 180 grains of | aleohol, 70 grains of grape sugar. In the combination, therefore, we have all the elements which make for a complete diet—vi: Fat, protein, car- bohydrate, to which may be added mineral salts. Port and walnuts after a meal are therefore, from a nutritive point of view, “ridiculous excess,” and may lead to digestive disturbance. Both walnuts and port wine contain : tannin, which is unsuited to some con- stitutions.
