An attempt to secure a statement as to the purpose of the meeting was met by the simple announcement that the general chairmen were in con vention, but that there would be no information to give but concerning the meeting until some definite action had been taken. The gathering here of the brother hood officials.. representing every craft on every line in ‘the southeast, when the \, B. &. A. employees, or former employecs, are on strike in protest afainst a cut in wages, and when many announcements are be ing made by other roads that reduc tions in pay are heing considered, is looked upon as highly significant, es pecially in view of the fact that vig orous challenges were made as to the right of the A, B. & A. to cut wages, and the profier of aid from the union men on other roads should the A. B. & A. brotherhoods and crafts de cide to resist such reductions. Beginnings of Baseb'all. Abner Doubleday, who later went to West Point and ultimately became a major general in the United States army, is given the credit for origin ating the game, in 1839. » He and some iother yvoung ien began to play a game they afterward called baseball. ' One of these, named Cartwright, had the idea of a dinmond to improve the game, “Two Old Cat” and “Three Old Cat” were still early forms of ball and svere adapted probably from lthe English game of rounders. JIMMY'S TEACHER (@.‘ 1551.';)' M c'C-l u;; N_: w‘;;a;‘e’rv;y;;k\:‘a‘{e\.') “Then Miss Small,” said the superin tendent to the young teacher, “it is un derstood that when school closes this afternoon you will detain your pu pils a few moments, and Jimmy Nor ton will be publicly expelled before themn all.” . “Yes, sir,” said Miss Small, in tones of quiet respect. She crossed the hall and entered the storeroom where she had left her lunch. ~ The door was locked. She paused a moment, then her tace be came serious. Within that room was Jimmy Norton, the boy who at one ¢’clock was to' be publicly expelled be fore the other children. His outbursts of temper, and the fre quent punisluucum they necessitated, bad brought down the average of her room alarmingly. Her determination to bring him safe ly through to the end of the year had given away gradually, and this morn ing’s performance had run the end of her patience. During the recess pe riod he had knocked down one of the younger boys and taken his knife, a Christmas present, with wonderful new blades. The teacher softly unlocked the door and entered the room. : Jimmy was huddled on a bench, sleeping soundly. To her he seemed a pitiful little figure, and she knelt down beside him and looked earnestly into his face. There were marks of tears upon his grimy cheeks. He half opened his eyes and looked' into the face above him. “Mamma,” he murmured. : The teacher knew that Jimmy's\‘ mother was dead, and her eyes felt{ a sudden mist. “If he were my little | boy, and I were his mother who is' dead,” she thought, “I would want tof be pretty near him right now.” i Something fell from the boys’ re laxed fingers onto the floor beside her. It was a piece of wood partly carved into a whistle. She looked at Jimmy again, and seemed to understand himnc in an altogether new way. Of course that was why he wanted the othet: boys knife. His fingers had fairly aclied to use the keen blades. How rapturous were the few mo ments that he held that knife in his hands. Then Jimmy awoke. He heard voices outside, and his sharp little face seemed anxious. “What yer goin’ ter do ter me?” he demanded. “The superintendent is going to ex pel you from school before all the other children, and then—" He shrank back from her, loneliness and terror seemed to stare at her oul of his pinched face. He looked up inte her eyes. What he saw there she di¢ not know, but suddenly he clung to her with a little strangled cry. | “Miss Small,” called the superin tendent from outside. She rose and lifted Jimmy to his feet. “Come,” shei said, taking his little hand tightly in hers. Then she opened the door anc faced the superintendent. She was convinced that to expel Jimmy woulg be a fatal mistake, and she knew that she was going to tell them so—she whose only hope of promotion lay in unquestioning obhedience to orders. “Ilas he given you any more trou ble?” asked the superintendent. *No,” said the teacher, The children were coming now, and in another moment it would+ be tm.‘ late. *“Stop them!” she cried. “Don’li let them come. Jimmy isn't going to be expelled—we are going to give him avother chance.” The superintendent closed, the door and faced the teacher. \ ‘ She was kneeling on the floor with her arms about Jimmy’s neck. Her cheeks were crimson, her eyes big anc dark with excitement. The beauty of her made him catch his breath. In her protecting arms, which sheitered the frightened child, 'she seemed to express the divine instinet of motherhood, lov ing and forgiving. He came and stood near her. She shivered and closed her eyes. He was going to tell_her she must go. This was the end of years of dreams and hopes with which she had begun her work. : Then she heard his voice, only a ten der music which seemed like a caress “Tell me about it,” he said, smil ing down at her. “ﬁle was so little,” she said, “and his’ mother is dead. She—" She held out the partly-made whistle. *“That is why he wanted the knife.” . | “Jimmy,” said the superintendent “wounld you like another chance?” The; boy shufiled his feet, then nodded vig orously. ’ ‘ “You are right,” said the superin tendent to the teacher, “Undexstanding is above discipline. Jimmy shall have a chance—have it, my boy, because Miss Small bvlie\'es‘ in you, and has made me believe in | you. You are not going to disappoint usy . . l Tears relled down Jimmy’s cheeks. “Run along, now, and get some fresh air. Then come back and show us how you can work.” “You understand,” breathed the teacher, as the door closed on Jimmy. Impulsively she held out her hand to him. He took it and held it close, his dignity softening into tenderness. “Of course, I understand,” he whis pered. “And now there's something 1 want you to understand. May 1 ecall tonight and teil you what it is?” Historic Weather Vane, The Dutch burghers who followed Henry Hudson from Nétherlands to New Amsterdam brought their weath ercocks and set them up on the stee ples and towers that are seen in the quaint old pictures of old New York. One of these old vanes is probably the oldest thing in New York at the present time. It is the original gil(l-‘ ed weathercock of the old Dutch Stadt Huys, or city hall, now in the posses sion of the St. Nicholas society. The hall, first used as a tavern, was erect- | ed in 1642 by Director Kieft. In 1699 | it was sold by the city to a Mr. Rod man. The weather vane on the struc- l ture came into the possession of Mrs. Elizabeth Mackie. She gave it to Washington Irving, May 13, 1836, who kept it for some years on his house at Sleepy Hollow. He presented it to the St. Nicholas society December 9, 1818, and since that time it has graced the speakers’ l.ahlu at every banquet of the society. - i Tantalus. According to Grecian mythology, Tantalus was a son of Zeus, or the Jupiter of the Romans. All traditions agree in stating that he was a wealthy king, but some call hifh king of Lydia, in Asia Minor, while others king of Corinth in Greece. 'He is celebrated in ancient traditions for the terrible punishment inflicted upon him after death. It was related that he divulged the secrets intrusted to him by Zeus, and was punished in the lower world by being inflicted with a raging thirst, and at the same time placed in the midst of a lake, the waters of which always receded from his as soon as he attempted to drink. Krom this tradi tion the English language has bor rowed the verb to tantalize, that is, to hold out hopes or prospects that cannot be realized. Plaster Easily Mended. If plaster on the walls shows cracks and breaks it is not diflicult to mend this yourself. Get a little plaster of paris from the drug store. Mix this with \\'u}t;r to make a smooth paste and thefi plaster the cracks, smooth ing off the surface with a perfectly smooth board for a lathe. When this is perfectly dry you can supply a coat of calcimine or ome of the patented wall paints and the effect should be all that you desire. It is very miuch better to have all shelves well painted with two coats of white paint and a ﬁniéhing coat of enamel than to leave the boards in natural condition. If they are painted thiey may be washed off easily, whereas if they are not painted they become discolored and soiled and cannot be restored. ’ Myrrh Used in Medicine. . Myrrh is a resin used for me dicinal purposes and in dentistry. It 's also used in the manufacture of in rense and perfumery, and is obtained from trees and shrubs that grow in Arabia and Abyssinia.
