Chance sincerely belteves that Ray Keating, the boy whom thg ‘Yanks secured from Lawrence, Mass., will be as good as Ed Walsh within a few years. “A great pitcher, that boy,” com- mented Chance as he gaged at the youngster. “He uses the spit ball almost ex: clusively, but has he the physique for & spit-ball pitcher?” was suggested. “I'll agree with you that he isn’t as tall as Walsh, but he weighs 185 stripped, which isn’'t being a light man by & good many pounds, and take a look at those shoulders. This boy 1s only twenty years old. He has a few years to grow.” Keating’s success is with the spi ball. He has a good fast ball, but re lies on the salivated delivery. “Walsh uses the spitter. That's all he has,” went on Chance, “that and a fast one, but the spitter nearly all the time.” “How do American league pitchers look to you?” “Some of those I have seen look pretty fair, to say the least. There is ‘Walter Johnson—" “Would you call him better than Mathewson?” “No, I would not say that Johnson is ‘a better pitcher than Mathewson. You have to give Matty a lot of credit. He is a wonderful pitcher. He has speed, curves, a good slow ball and 8 great mind. Johnson has more speed than Matty, but lacks several of the cther things. “I do’ not believe that Johnson wil! last as long as Mathewson. A man cannot use as much speed as he does for many seasons. He is developing a curve ball that will be of great ad vantage to him. He showed a good curve when he pitched against us. He has no slow ball to speak of, but with that curve and speed he will be bet Mordecal Brown. cer equipped than in previous years. As he grows older he will pitch more ‘with his brain than his arm and last Ionger than'if he depended on that speed and his curve. “In picking pitchers I think I woulq take Mordecai Brown if I had ong pitcher. to choose of all those in the mlloi leagues. Brown had every ‘thing: & piteher needed—a great curve, good speed, slow ball and control. He was s wise pitcher, and I do not think 1 ever saw a better flelding pitcher. Besides that, Brown was always ready : He would go in any thousand feet long, more:than. one has in its side immense gates as high [framework. as a seven-story building @nd half a|through two .t the Gatun Locks.

The following are a few linguistic whimsicalities: The Germans call a thimble a “finger hat,” which it cer tainly is, and a grasshopper a “hay horse.” A glove with them is a “hand- shoe,” showing evidently that they wore shoes before gloves. Poultry is “feather cattle,” whilst the names for the well-known substances oxygen and hydrogen are in their language “sour stuff” and “water stuff.” The French, strange to say, have no verb “to stand,” nor can a Frenchman speak of “kicking” anyone. The nearest ap- proach a Frenchman mgkes to it in beT't"(‘J3 a;Ismns‘3 (‘,‘)nsr his politeness is to threaten to “give | _ The & blow with his-foot”—the same thing to the recipient in either case, but it seems to want the directness, the en- ergy, of our “kick.” Neither has he any word for “baby,” or for “home,” or “comfort.” The terms “upstairs” and “downstairs” are also unknown in French. The Hindus are said to have no word for “friend:” The Italians have mo equivalent for “humility.” We should not preach so much to ble, make them F.

Even when a lunatic is -telling one in fervid language how she has been deprived of her children, or the out- rages that have been perpetrated to herself, her eye is never even moist. The ready gush of tears which accom. panies the plaint of the sane woman contrasts strangely with the dry-eyed appeal of the talkative lunatic. It ‘would, indeed, seem that tears give relief to feelings which, when “pent up, lead to madness. It is one of the privileges ‘of reason to be able to weep. Amid all the ‘misery of the insane they find no relief in tears. Often Noticeable. Women have mo sense of humor, unless it is in their choice of hus bands.—Judge. —e Worth_ Considering.

WORLD ON A DROP OF OIL Did you ever stop and think what a wonderful piece of mechanism a ‘good watch like the Bemidji Special is? Take the hairspring for instance. One mile of this wire weighs less than half 18,000 vibrations an hour—157,000,- 000 a year. It moves 3,558 miles a yearon less than one-tenth-of a drop of oil. If a locomotive, having six footdriv- ing wheels, were siarted at the equator, and should run until its wheels had performed the same num- ber of revolutions that a balance wheel does in one year, it would make more than twenty-eight complete circuits of the earth. The Bemidji Special is adjusted to every change and condition. Baked in an oven, frozen in a 1efrigerator, adjusted to position, put through a 700 hour test for accuracy, can you wonder why this wonderful watch is The Standard of this community today, FIVE YEAR GUARANTEE We give a five year guarantee with each Bemidji Special = watch— because they giveus the least trouble in - making good our guarantee.
