There was Once a Petulant Child, whose Father was a Druggist. The Child was always Crying for Scmething. When it could not Think of Something to ery for it would Wail for an excuse to Weep. On the Whole, it was a Peculiar Child. Omne night it cried for the Moon. Its Papa endeavored to Argue with it, to impress it with the Impos- sibility of getting the Moon. Foolish Man. Suddenly a bright Idea struck the doting Parent. He gaid: “Although I caunot give you the Moon, I can get vou Something Just as Good.” So he gave the Petulant Child an Orange. ‘Whereat the Child swatted him with the Frult and Made his nose look like the Morning After at Spion Kop. The Doting Parent swore - softly, but Diligently, for several Moments. Then he sald: “After all, I am Glad I did not give in to you and Get you the Moon.” Moral—The substitution Evil i! not &s it 18 Painted. HER INTENSE PAPA.

She wouldn’t be on the map today, but would be found with a star in a footnote at the bottom of the-page:if it were.not for Napoleon Lajoie, assisted by Mr. Aldrich. 'If Napoleon Lajoie had mnot hustled onto the scene in September, 1875, Nelson A.‘would have had too much on his hands and she would have slipped off into the Atlantic ocean of obscurity. With discrimin- ating eye Napoleon selected Woon- socket, where his father had brought the name down from French Can- ada, for a birthplace. Lajoie is pronounced in ‘more dif- ferent ways than any other name in the majors. In talking about the Clevelands the fams usually start in with Laj—and then suddenly have their attention attracted by a dou- ble and continu€ after it's all over with “He and our Napoleon—" In the west it is pronounced Laz—and finished by coughing and kicking ‘a hole in the ground, while in the spec- tacled east it is put over with a con- centric_twist of the lips and with an underhand - fadeaway of the tongue. According to Napoleon it can be done by running the scales a few times and with some finger practice by 8o~ Ing at it thus—Lazhi-u-way.

Oth- er boys who had grown up'with him in ‘Woonsocket could hardly believe that fame had snatched him from - thelr midst and placed on his brow its jew- eled diadem—the top hat.

He has a mimeographed letter he sends back in answer to notes from sighing girls.

Every time the Apollo of the parks raises his hand it’s a picture; every time he clouts a single the soft purr of girls’ lead pencils can be heard all over-the bleachers, and every time he stumbles and skids' on his ear he does it so gracefully that the ladies in' the grandstands bruise their gloves.

Part. of his conversa- tion ‘runs ag follows: + “Of all the baseball pitchers I ever faced the hardest to hit is Ed Walsh. At least, he is the hardest for me to hit. “I don’t say he is the greatest pitch- ef. in the world; | I think: Christy Mathewson is the greatest. greatest; not was the greatest. “Some people try to tell you that Christy is a dead one. There is mo question but that he has slowed up, but I maintain that he is the greatest pitcher in the world. “He and Walsh are hard to hit tor exactly opposite reasons. “Walsh has you out before you try to bat. To tell you the truth, he over- Aawes the batter. He is big and strong and has terrific speed and a wonderful break. Walsh is a spitball artist, pure and simple. You know exactly what he is going to throw and what to be prepared for, but you can’t hit the ball. He gets your goat. “Mathewson iIs exactly opposite in method. Christy tenderly leads you astray, so to speak.” You are always sure you can hit him—but you can't. No other pitcher in the world has so many resources.” 5 Yale Men Like to Box. ‘Yale University’s hoxing classes are growing bigger each year. 160 and 200 students will be enrolled after the Christmas holidays.
