For six months life has been noth- ing but a weary grind for thousands of men of the United States. In the coming six months, not one will re linquish his hold on life without a stiff fight. Why? Because the 1912 baseball season starts today and now life is worth living. It is peculiar how baseball has such a hold on the American public. The game is not played by its most enthusiastic admirers for they are only allowed to sit on a bench and voiciferate’ The men in the field are seldom from the home town but are gathered far and wide and their in- terest is financial at its base. The whole system is founded on the mon- ey power, and yet the game has a stronger hold on the American peo- ple than any other ever known. The sporting- sheet will be the most popular page in every daily for weeks to come and will be read with cagerness by thousands of When the home team is away, they will proudly acclaim its conquests or bravely enduie its defeats, but when it comes Home, the boys will all be there. Anyway, the best part is that it gets thousands of business men out in the open for a few hours a day giv- and much fans. ing them lung exercise needed fresh air. NOT ON SECURE FOUNDATION Engineer Explains: Why Some Bulld- Ings Shake When Partlcularly Heavy Wagon Goes By. “What makes & building shake as ¥ it had the ague every time a truck with a twenty-ton girder rumbles by?* Bn engineer was asked. “Only the buildings whose founda- tlons do not go down to bed rock shake,” he replied. “The occupants of the building that rests on rock never know when a heavy load passes it. The man in the building whose foundations -go down just a few feet below the cellar floor, and stop in the subsoil, often imagines he is in the center of an earthquake. “When the wagon bearing the beam goes traveling along it bumps over the inequalities of the street with tre- mendous force, and this imparts wave motions to the sofl, which in turn transfer the vibrations to the old- style foundations, which sway and shake and tremble. The foundations ‘whose piers rest on bed rock are not affected. A twentyton beam, as it slips from one paving stone to an- other, imparts a force to the ground that may be llkened to & constant bombardment, but because the wave of motion proceeds in constantly ‘widening circles, and hence in con- stantly diminishing force distributed all over the foundation, no harm re- sults. "It the force were all driven at one point the effect would be like that of a projectile from a battle ship.” A GOOD TIME TO GET BUSY..

John McLaughlin, who has started a new magazine known as “Catholic Youth,” has had trouble enough to dis- courage a less cheerful personm, since he abandoned daily newspaper work. McLaughlin started to work on his first issue three weeks ago, and every. thing went along swimmingly until a week ago when he woke up in the mid- dle of the night with severe pains in his hip. “Rheumatism, and you'll be lucky i you're out in a month,” said the doc tor next morning. All last week McLaughlin lay in bed while the “big magazine,” as he calls it, awalted his coming. Yesterday Mc- Laughlin appeared at his office and “dug into” his accumulated work with Bavage energy. “I had only one consolation,” he sald at the Press club, yesterday. “One of the magazines has a story of Mark Twain this month. It seems a friend of Twain was suffering from a tooth- ache and an earache at the same time, ““Can you imagine a worse com- bination than that, earache and tooth- ache? asked the friend. “‘T can,’ spid Twain. rheumatism and St. Vitus’ Milwaukee Free Press. ‘There are dancel”— PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS Your druggist will refund money if PA- ZO OINTMENT fails to cure any case of Itching, Blind, Bleeding or Protrud- ing Piles in 6 to 14 davs. &0c. Working In the Dark, . Secretary MacVeagh, at a dinner in ‘Washington, was urging the need of sclentific financial laws, “But let us make these laws scien. tifically,” he said. “We must let in the light. We must work in the light. I we work in the dark, you know, we will go wrong—like young Cornelius Husk. « “Cornelius Husk was called one win- ter morning before dawn, and told to g0 and harness the mule to the dear- born, s “The lad was too lazy to light a lan- tern, and in the dark he didn’t notice that one of the cows was in the stable with the mule. “As he tried to harness the cow his father, impatient at the long delay, shouted from the house: “‘Corney! Corney! what ye doin'? “‘T can’t get the collar over the mule’s head,’ the boy replied. ‘His ears are frozen.'” Great Plague of London. Medical authorities agree that the epidemic which prevailed in London in 1666 was what we now call bu- bonic plague. It is well known that this “Black Death” was prevalent in various parts of the world in ancient times.. The outbreaks were peculiarly violent then by reason of the condi- tions of poverty and the almost total absence of sanitation. It was the an- clent medical writers who gave it the name of the plague, E The mortality in' London in 1665 ‘was appalling. Thousands were swept away by the dread malady, and there ‘Was a great exodus from the stricken city. Some of the medical authorities thought it had been brought into Lon- don in bales of merchandise. coming from Holland, which originally came from the Levant; others contended that it was brought in by Dutch pris- oners of war. Boy Has Right to Be Proud. The proudest boy in France today Is Raymond Marmiesse, who is “six- teen years old. He is at present a patient in the Pasteur institute in Paris, and has received p silver medal with his name on it and a letter from the ‘minister of public instruction. One Sunday afternoon a mad dog raced through the streets of Cahors. It had bittén several other: dogs, s horse, and two children. -Marmiesse, who was passing, threw himself head- long on the dog, and tried to strangle It. People shouted to him that he would be pitten; and he was bitten terribly. - ¥is father begged him'to come away from the dog, but “Better one tham half a dozen more children be bitten!"shouted the boy, and hel stuck to the dog till & man managed good natured and active. City Drug Store, S B : (Copyright.) MUCH LIKE A CDNSTELLQTION Fighting Prisoner Had Only Asked to Be Shown One Star, But He Saw Several. He had been celebrating, not wisely, but too well, and getting obstreperous and noisy and looking for a fight he was tackled by a policeman who in plain clothes was on his way home. The drunken one showed fight and was indignant that an apparently pri- vate citizen should try to arrest him. “Show me your star!” he demanded. “Don’t believe you're a cop at all Won’t go with you till I see your star,” and he aimed a maudlin blow at the policeman. There was a scuffle and a fight, short-lived but strenuous, and the drunken man was landed in the police station, where he stayed all night. In the morning it was a disheveled and torn. wreck that appeared before the magistrate and who listened to the po- liceman relate the trouble he had in getting him to the station house. “He wanted to fight me all the way to the station, your honor. He kept pulling back and trying to trip me and yelling, ‘Show me your star! I don’t g0 unless you show me your star.’” “And,” asked the magistrate gently, “did you show him your star?” “Your: honor,” interrupted the pris: oner, “he clouted me on the head and.| I saw the star—I saw several of them, enough to go around the entire force.” 1” He Is Unsuccessful.

In one election in a certain Alsa tian district the two candidates were Kable, an Alsatian of French sympa- thies, who had protested against the annexation after the war of 1870, and a German. On election day a peasant came to the polling place, which was presided over by a German official The peasant had in one hand a ticket on which was printed the name of Kable, and in’the other a ticket bear- ing the name of the German candi- date. “Mein Herr,” he said to the German election official, “will you tell me which of these tickets is the better one?” The officer looked at them. “Why, this is- much preferable,” said he, in: dicating the German’s ticket. “Ah, I thank you,” answered the peasant. “I will keep it next my heart.” ‘He folded it carefully and put it inside his coat. “As for this other, then,” said he, with an air of putting it away from him as an unworthy thing, “I will leave it here” And he put the Kable ticket in the ballot box. Best In the World v.you would “do it. without much . coaxing—wouldn’t you? Clever Birds. Record has recently been made of a canary bird that displays almost hu- man intelligence. The bird in ques- tion acts as guard over a sleeping child, singing shrilly at any sign of danger. The bird is allowed the free dom of the house and never shows any desire to escape into the free air, At night it will perch itself on the baby’s cradle and such seems to be its liking for the child that if anyone approaches to disturb its slumber, it shows spirited signs of its displeasure, A man in London prizes a parrot for its intelligence. The bird is as Valuable about the man’s house as any patent burglar alarm he could buy. The parrot is always on guard. If anyone approches the house, the bird sets up such a commotion that if the person is bent on evil, he is {mmediately frightened away. Apt Description.
