ook Out for the Money That Goes Out for a "Walk and Never Comes Back Again By J. R. HAMILTON 2 I {OOK out for the dollar that says, “I'IL 2t says; “LIL juss put o1 | hat and stront down the road a h;fl:; wa}yg;pu mry i Look out for the d 8rip on your fingers and s again sometime.” e, BHF most of all lgok out for that shrewd-eyed dollar K‘a qflletl)’ packs i3 grip and takes the night train for ansas City or Chicago or New York. ‘ l}(ou want te arrest that dollar if it’s the last thing on: earth you o, because ¢hat is the real absconder from your- treasury. m When you meet ¢hat dollar ox State Street or Broad:- | ollar that loosens its geodby axs, “Well, so long, I'll see you ’fi:’y a:;d %Sl‘i it to come back, it gzins at you with its hat on: © Side ol its head and says, “Why should I want to come back to your little old jerkweater town?” When you tell it how badly you need it at home;. looks at you insolently and says: “Didn’t I give yau value received? Didw’t 1 send youws back some groceries.when I got to town? Didn’t I save youw a little money on. a cook stove and seme furniture? What business is it of yours if I prefer to live in Chicago: instead: of away. down there? Havew't you got the goods? Ther what de you want with me? Oh, you like my company , do- you? Well, you should have theught of that before I went away.” This is a good little fairy story, ladies and gentlemen: —a fine little fairy story for your children to read to you: before you go to.sleep. For after all it is the children who are going to suffer every time your friend, the dollar, packs: its little grip and goes away. . And there are two hundred and fifty millions of these dollars leaving their Home communities every year aund: going up into the big cities to live. Oh, you think you have raised Cain when you have saved fifty cents on 2, cook stove and sent twenty dollars.tos New York. - Well, you have, if that's any pleasure to you. Yiouw have raised particulur Cain! Here is what you have done, if you care to know: You have Jestroyed the progress of your own community;: It requires CAPITAL to make progress. You have driven away all investments from your owm community. INVESTMENTS only come to progressive centers. You have destroyed your own local patriotism for your: Own community; the man who doesn’t back his city with: his: MONEY doesn’t back it with his HEART. And last and worst of all, you have destroyed your own children’s future in your community and you have forced them,. as you have been forcing them year after year, to.go into the great cities and to win back in crowded factories, on office stools and in sickly shipping rooms, some of the few pennies, of those: big dollars THAT YOU SENT AWAY. ; Yes, you have been raising Cain all.right.. No question’ about that. And youw’ll never know how much Cain you: have been raising until you take a few weeks off to go into: i those great big cities where you sent your dollar and see your children, and the children, of hundreds of thousands of others working, pale-faced and hollow-eyed, for six and eight dollars a week, like the poor commercial slaves that they are, because you robbed them of the opportunities that might have been theirs.in yowr midst. With his rightful share of that two hundred and fifty million dollars yous hoy might have seen a chance to start a little factory ent on the edge of this town or to open ap a little store. He might have planned some real feats. of engineering. He might bave started a little irrigation com- pany. Yes, there are a hundred things he might have dene with hisshare. Or your daughter might have married seme other boy that did these things, and your big, wholesome community interest weuld have beem held intact. Do you think the country is beireg robbed of its boys and girls becanse they want to go? Do you think they are getting out becanse they want to get out? No! Ten thousand times ne! They are being:kicked out of their communities by you and delivered into com- mercial skavery by the dollars:you send away. Oh, it’s a wonderful ihing, this peering over a cata- logue and saving twenty-fixe ceuts! But it is robbing these United States of every hi% of Community interest they ever had. Tt’s destroying exery tocal Center just as thoroughly and effectively as if yow put poison in the wells. | When you lock into your big Metropolitan papers on || Sunday and see columm after column of the stories of boys and girls who, have been driven to the eity and have paid the City’s price, how proud you must feel of being the real cause of i all:¥ You never thought of that side of it, did you? No, and these big Mail Order Houses would gladly pay a million dollars cash if nobady else had cver thought of it. J Remember this: America became a great nation, not because it became a democracy, but because it already had become a nation of powerful individual communities. Tt hasn’t been so long ago when a cargo of English tea went into the Roston Harbor because we had determined to be a community within ourselves. It is about time that a carload of Mail Order Cata- logues went into the sewer in order that we may protect our own Communities for ourselves.

The event will be remembered because it was the first time that a German ruling prince had honored a variety performance with his presence.” The rivalry between Dresden and Lelpsic, the two chief cities of the kingdom of Saxony, has existed for a long time. Dresden, the court or res- idence town, and Leipsic, the. busi- ness center-of the country, are less than 100 miles apart, and each place is ambitious to rank first in impor- tance. “Every .year,” writes a mem- ber of the Leipsic English _colony, ‘the king visits this city, and for up and says, ‘Here, feller, i a good the time of his visit the ~Lefpsicer % " holds his head higher and feels that | °Yoreoat: I takes the coat from him. <5 he is not in second rank.

Leader of Cincinnati Team Can't See: ~ Any ‘Reason for Crabby Plloting ' —Good WIIl of Players Neo- essary to Succeed. “To win ball games,” said Joe finker, “a manager must be a dead- game fighter. . ; “If a bit of yellow shows above; his collar button, it's all over—his; shance has gone a-glimmering. Me Graw and Chance are game men, al-; ways have been, always will be—! and their men - will follow ' them through to flags. Understand, when [ say ‘a fighter’ T don’t mean a. man who nags and barks at um- pires. I mean a leader who isn’t afraid of the other team; who isn't: afrald of the percentage that may' be against him—and who isn't| praid of his own men, either. “A game pitcher is the man who an “see the big slugger coming up with the bases jammed, and say:: ‘Maybe this guy is a hitter, but he hasn’t hit it yet—and he isn’t going lo hit this one’ A game batter is the boy who sees the fast one com- Ing through -and grins as he steps forward, " instead of pulling back. And a game manager is one who doesn’t curl up and play. dead when they are killing his pitcher, or when the infleld is throwing crazy, or his single. - That’s the McGraw and Chance pattern, and that pattern is the one that wins.” And—Joe might have added—the successful leader is the man who Is not only game, but whose players awre ready to follow him clear through because they are with him heart and hand. = Hank O'Day was » game man. He had shown that In all the years of his umpiring. Henry was a brave man and a .man whom not a soul could bluff—but Henry couldn’t win his players. It’s all in the fiber and the bone. Just a little line to show—just a something that will flash the bright light for half a moment on the make-ups of two men: Said they to Hank O’Day one morn: “There's a big statesman coming into . town. Mr. O’Day, will you go and help re- ceive him?” And from the sphinx- sullen words: “Him! Who's he? If he wants to see me let him come to the hotel!” And just the other day they told Joe Tinker that a noted man was coming to town. “Will you go to the station, Mr. Tinker? Will you help receive him when he comes?” “You bet I will,” came the smiling answer. “What time does his train get in?” A good man and a game man, too, was Hank O’Day—but the iron mask of the umpire had clamped its hands too.many seasons on his CHERUBS Copyright, 1913, by The Asso Just a few miles south of Milan, and not far from the foot of the east- ern slope of the Apennines, in the val- ley of the Po, lies the quaint old Ital- ian city of Piacenzra. Today few trav- elers stop there. How different it would have been if Piacenza had not been her birthright! For it was for the high altar of the Church of San Sisto in this city that Raphael was commissioned to paint his best known picture. It is from this church that it takes its name-—the Sistine Madonna. it remained for over 200 year after it was painted. About 1600 the period of decline set in, and painting and the other Here arts languished. Italy became the hunting ground of the collectors of Europe. Through the agency of an artist of Bologna, Augustus III. of Saxony offered the sum of .twenty thousand ducats for the picture— about forty-five thousand dollars. The. picture became his property. So if we wish to see this famous picture today we go not to ancient Piacenza, but to more. modern Dres- den—to the German city in the val- ley of the Elbe rather than to the Italian village on the Po. Because of the unresting efforts of the Princes of Saxony to increase and better) their collections, the gallery in Dres- den is of great importance, But sur- passing all others in importance in Raphael painting, which ‘occupies a room of its own. ‘When the room is entered, voices sink to whispers; for t is the shrine of the Sistine Madon- na. ;L It is a great picture; but so much has been said and written about it that many confess -disappointment when they. first bighglg it. they have exnptéd 100 nituc] men can’t. seem to bat a half-size little flash to tell a thing or two— | “{‘earn One Thing Every Day” No. 1.

When we say of a man that “he has » fine face,” or of a woman that “she bas a beautiful face,” we speak of the life back of the face. What is a surer indication of this than when we see a child draw away from a first glimpse of a person? What is often 8o truly condemnatory the in- stinctive remark of a child: “I don't like her face, mamma?” Not . always true, perhaps, not in every instance is the child right, but burking and burkism, while in quite recent times Captain Boycott's experi- ences resulted in the language being enriched by the phrases boycott, boy- cotter, boycotting, etc. . 'The most notable case was probably that of the great and good T. Bowdler, D. D., who, by pul & “family” edition of Shakespeare in 1881, added the words “bowdlerize” and “bowdlerfsm” to our language.
