iiu- ui-- ' v li,at ¥ ■■ hands tucir enteftprise, and lias the wiJj in their own/’craftiness, and is not the counsel of the froward carried headlong? And what shall be said of the occurrences of modern history? Had God any thing to do with the earthquake in San Francisco; the burning of the Gen eral Schofield, and the sinking of the Titanic? Of the latter event it is said that in the last moments of that fated vessel's remaining afloat, all classes of people prayed, and the band played until the very end, “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” And what was this but recognition of God, and possibly with many, too late? To say that God has nothing td do with these things on the ground of that it would be violence to the reign of law, dishonoring to him as an in finite being, and entirely relieve man of moral responsibility, is really not worthy of serious consideration. The consciousness of God’s immanence in all such things would be a deterrent from sin on the part of some, and would be an incentive to good on the part of others. How are men to know God? Simply by being still. By searching, men can not find out God. As David would lie in the fields at night and look up into the starry heavens, it -would not be for the purpose of finding out God, but as he gazed he could not help but exclaim: “When I consider the heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast created, what is man that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man that thou visitest him?” As Moses would have Israel to recognize God, he said: "Stand still, and see the salvation of God.” As Isaiah would have Israel see wherein their strength lay, he said they should sit still. So the method of knowing God is to just keep the eyes and ears open, to stop, look, lis ten —God is here, there, everywhere. The results of this will be a more serious consideration of one’s obliga tion to God. The life of the Christian will be made richer, and as the dark ness of the hereafter iq approached, there will be a preparation to meet God, with whom, whether he will or will not, man has much to do. To know God, and him whom he has sent, is everlasting life. When the dust of business so fills your room that it threatens to choke you, sprinkle it with the water of prayer, and then you can clean it out with comfort and expedition.—James Stalker. Only in a world where there is suf fering could God prove that he is love. The man who buries his talent might as well bury himself.

Hag n Pitener Hagerman. erman was w ith the Jersey City team, but the negotiations had to be con ducted with the Boston club because there was an option on the player. Friends of Indianapolis. Since the elevation of Charley O’Leary to the manager’s job an alli ance has been formed by Indianapolis with Detroit, and this, together with the friendly relations that have ex isted with the Chicago Cubs, makes it appear that some talent will be sup plied by one of these clubs. Presi dent Navin has promised the Indi ans aid and a deal is already simmer ing with President Murphy of the Cubs. Eddie Hahn Doing Well. Eddie Hahn, former White Sox out fielder, is playing with the Des Moines team this spring, and has been doing some great work for Frank Isbell. His throwing arm is as good as it ever was- ■ WIRIER. Note w Diamond Jack Murray of the Giants still has a fine throwing arm. Wolverton's new outfielder, Pat Ma loney, is making good from the start.

Bobby Gilks, Nap scout, has turned up in New Orleans. Ht reports ma terial scarce, as usual. Earl Mack, Connie’s son, is manag ing the Atlantic City team this year. It seems to run in the family. Ben Houser, the tall leit-handed first baseman of the Boston Braves, is a strong favorite with the crowds.

Since Russell Ford joined the New York Americans in 1910 he has lost but two games to the Cleveland Naps. Cy Seymour, formerly of the New York Giants, is hitting the ball hard for Newark of the International league. The bean ball has put many players on the shelf, Fred Clarke and Frank Chance being the latest important in stances.

Boston fans like the work of Young O’Rourke, the Bridgeport shortstop, now playing with Johnny Kling’s Bos ton Braves. Ted Easterly uses the biggest bat in the major leagues. An average player can’t lift it up unless he’s feeling ex tra strong. Denny Sullivan, for two seasons out fielder for the Kansas City team, has been sold to Indianapolis. He former ly was with Toledo. It is rumored around the circuit that much of the poor showing of the Naps is due to internal strife,,and that it Is not a happy family by any means.

Pittsburg Dutchman Made Many Dou bles by Stretching Pure Singles Into Two-Baggers—Georgia Peach Stud ies Pitchers. Proper base running, such as the New York Giants indulge in, consists in taking chances without being too reckless. Nothing is ever gained by the conservative runner who sticks close to his base until the ball is hit over the fence. The followers of the old army game will win only a small portion of the games for a ball club. On the other hand, the reckless run ner, who is always getting pinched off at the most critical stages, is about equally worthless. A combina tion of aggressiveness and caution is the right dope for successful base running. A better way to put it would be aggressiveness tempered by good judgment. Every pitcher has plenty of little signs unknown to himself which an observant runner can soon get next to. If more base runners use their brains to detect these signs and take advantage of them there would be more bases stolen. The man who is smart enough always to take an ex tra base -when the opportunity offers is the winning player. For years Wagner of Pittsburg -led the league in two-base hits. He was a hard hitter, to be sure, but the rea- Ty Cobb. son he always led in doubles was be cause he stretched so many pure sin gles into two-baggers by his clever running. When in his prime Wagner always came down to first base like 'the wind and made the turn at full speed. Nine times out of ten on the ordinary hit he would have to stop and hold first base..

Cobh earned his fame by studying all opposing players, especially pitch ers. He knows every move that is going to be made by certain men and just what it means. He watches the outfielders and soon knows what their way of handling the ball on the ground is, whether they will get it away quickly or not, and what kind of throwers they are. If a man shows a tendency to slowness or inaccuracy Cobb makes a mental note of the fact, and the next time he hits to that field he is likely to take an extra base. ,J§n for the ly will be [dgchampion- H a go. He pitch ' because-TTe •strik&x^ Honus Wagner. Cobb excels all other players, not so much in speed as in brains and pow ers of observation. While most ath letes play a fairly conservative and mechanical game Cobb is always pull ing something and getting away with it that no one else would attempt. His work looks reckless, but it is not so reckless as it looks, because he has the dope on opposing players. Donovan to Succeed Jennings. "Wild Bill” Donovan may be man ager of the Tigers next season if the team does not take a sudden brace in its playing. “I am not at all satisfied with the way are going. Jea nings appears to have lost his hold on the men,” said Owner Navin. “They seem to have no confidence in his judgment. Our pitchers have been handled poorly and the team shows little science. As Jennings has a con tract for this year we shall not make any change right now.” Simple Explanation. To illustrate a point that he was making - that his was the race with a future and not a race with a past— Booker T. Washington told this little story the other day. He was standing by his door one morning when old Aunt Caroline went by. "Good morning, Aunt Caroline,” he said. “Where are you going this morn ing?” “Lawzee, Mista' Wash’ton,” she replied. “I’se done been whar I’se gwine.”—Kansas City Star. BROKE OUT IN HEAT RASH 822 Georgia Ave., East Nashville, Tenn. —“My baby was about two months old when he began to break out in small red pimples like heat rash, afterward turning into festers. They gradually spread until his little head, face, groins and chest, his head being most affected, became a mass of sores with a great deal of corrup tion. It became offensive and gradual ly grew worse. I kept a white cap on him to keep him from scratching, it seemed to itch so badly. It made him cross and his chest and groins would often bleed. “Nothing seemed to help it, and I had almost come to the conclusion that my baby’s case was hopeless, when hearing of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, I decided to try it. I noticed at once that baby rested bet ter. I continued it for a few weeks and my baby was entirely cured by the Cuti cura Soap and Ointment. They cured where all others failed.” (Signed) Mr. E. O.

Wait now. Don’t be impatient! I didn't forget it. I'm sure I’ve got it in one of my pockets, somewhere.” No Social Tact. At a club dance an enthusiastic member approached a rather dull member and said unto him: “Say, for heaven's sake go over and talk to Miss Fryte. She is sitting all by herself.” “But —but what shall I say to her?” “Tell her how pretty she is.” "But she ain’t pretty.” “Well, then tell her how ugly the other girls are. Ain’t you got no so cial tact?” Good Bait. Aunt Sarah, cook in a Richmond family, took home a dish of macaroni from her mistress’ table for the edi fication of her own family. When her children had been assured that it was good they proceeded to eat with great gusto.

Cheese was made hy the old-time farmers in the summer on the co-op erative plan by which four cattle own ers owning say 14 milch cows, received all the milk night and morning, ac cording to the daily yield of their little herd. Thus given two families having five cows each, one with three and one with one, supposing that the average yield per cow was the same, in two weeks, two owners would make five cheeses each; one would press three, and one only one cheese, but this one would be as good and as large as any of the rest. —“Nobility of the Trades —The Farmer,” Charles Wins low Hall, in National Magazine. “He bit the hand that fed him” said Teddy of Big Bill, And didn’t tell us if the bite had made the biter ill.

At All Grocer* Lib & y L. l bb Nem SOLACE IN HIS MISFORTUNE Entombed Miner Had at Least One Pleasant Thought After Two Days of Suffering. Miners are among the most heroic people in the world. Danger is always beside them, and they are schooled to believe that any time they will come face to face with death. The result of this is that they are humorous in their boldness. , In one of the mines of Pennsylvania there was a cave-in w'hich imprisoned a miner named Jack Thornton. TbH aecMree’e ’nappwaed on Fri&ay— noon, and the fellow laborers of thll entombed man set to work at once to-' dig him out. It was not until Sunday morning, however, that they reached his prison chamber, and by this time they were wondering whether he had been suffocated or starved to death. One of them stuck his head through the aperture made by the picks of the rescuers and called out: “Jack, are you all right?” “All right,” came the reply, and then after a pause: “What day Is this?” “Sunday!” exclaimed the friend. “Gee!” exclaimed Jack, “I’m glad of that. That was one Saturday night when those saloonkeepers didn’t get my wages.”—Popular Magazine. Shock for a Brother. “John,” said an eminent physician, wearily, entering his home after a hard day’s work, “John, if anyone calls excuse me.” “Yes, suh,” agreed John, the old family darkey. “Just say,” explained the doctor, “that the masseur is with me.” A little later the doctor’s brother called —called and received the shock of his life.
