SOUTH SIDE MESSENGER. 252SZSES2S25]2Sai25252SE52S2525Z5^5 THEMMIWIIOWON MILDRED CAROLINE RIDGE. GOOD- David R om had received a heavy blow financially and to hie affectione .as well. He was an odd, silent old fel low, but when an Impulse swayed him he carried It to the full limit Thus he had done with the eon of an old-time Mend now dead—Vance Peters. Mr. R o m had formerly opera ted a little shop In Virden, given to the manufacture Of hardware special ties. He took a fancy to young Peters and retired from the business In hie f a r v r . H e e t i u r e t a i n e d O w ire r e u i p e f the business, but gave Peters full sway, asking only a monthly statement of the business. One night the shop burned down and Vance Peters disappeared. Within twenty-four hours It was known that he had been embeszllng money and making false returns to his benefactor. He had Juggled the books and It was believed had fired the plant to destroy the evidences of fraud. The day after the fire Mr. Ross sat at home gloomily Immersed In thought. He had been fairly stunned by the revelations of the falthleMness of the young man he had trusted and bene fited. His adopted daughter, Elsa, watched his mood pityingly. \Father she spoke finally, \do not 1st this trouble distress you.\ \If I had followed your advice I should have been better off,\ was the frank reply. \You never liked Vance, you believed that he was deceiving me, *nd you were right. I shall be chary of trusting my fellow man again. For <me thing I am sincerely thankful! That Is that I did not urge the wish of my heart that you and Vance should make a match of It.\ Heart-free Elsa said nothing. She only regretted now that she had not repeated to the generous old man many evil rumors she had heard from time to time concerning his business manager. “I find that Vance had little or no system In the business,\ Mr. Ross told Elsa. “He had a bookkeeper, and under m anager and a traveling man. They Elsa Watched His Mood Pityingly. were all here this morning to learn w h at the prospects were of the plant starting up again.\ \Why are you thinking of that, father?\ asked Elsa in some surprise. \Not only that, but as well of going back actively Into the business,\ re plied Mr. Ross. \I will be healthier and more contented by Interesting my self In the business. Of course I shall want a manager. T h e re’s Rogers, the bookkeeper; Mahon, who was assist ant manager, and Delaney, the travel ing man. I want to test them out. I have Invited them to come down to the house here and m ake It their home free of charge. Elsa was not unused to the odd Im pulses of her adopted parent. She did not rem ark on his new freak, for she knew it would do no good. ‘T v e told the three of them that I will take care of them until we start up again. If they w ant to get new po sitions In the meantime, all right. It’s pretty hard, three young fellows count ing on a steady situation being thrown out this way, and I w a n t to be Just all around.1” So thus It was settled, and the old housekeeper at the Ross home grum bled considerably at having three \big boys\ hanging around the house all of the time, as she expressed It. Rogers, the bookkeeper, turned out to be quite an exquisite. He dropped Into the new arrangement as though he was accommodating some one. He lay around smoking and reading In a comfortable hammock most of the time, but was always on hand for his meals. The old assistant manager, Mahon# devoted most of his time to hanging around the village billiard hall. Both borrowed money from Mr. R om , who catered to their necessities and studied them. , Young Bert Delaney was restleM and out of sorts the first day he ar rived. He broke out into rebellion the third-morning. If It had not been for the engaging presence of Elsa he rolgbt have broke through the traces before. “See here, Mr. Ross,\ he said in his Independent, off-handed, way, “you’re a generous-hearted old man, but I’m no sponge. I don’t see why three husky fellows like us should be dependent on you.\ \Don't you want to resume your old position when we start up buslneM again?” Inquired Mr. Rose. \Surely but I’m not bom to be Idle.” \All right; I’ll make a new bargain with all three of you fellows. There’s a big garden to take care of, there's wood to m w and all kinds of odd Jobe about the place. Put In your time about them and I’ll pay a fair price for the service.’’ Rogers regarded his well-manicured hands and the rough garden tools, shrugged his shoulders and betook himself to his hammock. Mahon tried clearing some brush, got a few thorns In his fingers and hied him to cue and Ivories for solace Bert pitched in forthwith. H< mended the broken fences. He mad< the straggly garden look as If an ex pert had gsae ever i t One znomiag Mr. R om came out to find him wltl saw and bulk tackling a four-cord pill of stove wood. The old man’s eyes twinkled se cratly. That eveniag* when work wai suspended, he stole'out to the wood pile and put a little clinking bag way under the last log of the heap. Bert rather liked the task. The wood was just behind the kitchen where the falry-like form of pretty winsome Elsa constantly flitted. Sev eral times she brought the worker a glass of cool lemonade and then they had an enjoyable chat together. \See here, Mr. Ross,” said Bert, two days later, “that wood Is all sawed and I found this little bag under the last log.” \Oho! you did?\ chuckled the old man. \What’s In It, now?” \A dozen gold half eagles.\ \That so?\ chirped the old man. \I reckon the fairies have rewarded you for your Industry. See here, Mr. De laney, I put them there and you’re going to keep them.” “I don’t like Overpay—’’ began Bert “There’s better than that coming,” announced Mr. Roes. “I’ve been studying you, and that ladylike book keeper, and that shiftless assistant manager. You can have the position If you want It.” Bert did not reply. His faceegrew so serious and thoughtful that Mr. Ross stared at him in wonder. \W h y !” he exclaimed, “you don’t mean to say you turn down that kind of a chance of a lifetime, do you?\ \It depends,\ said Bert deliberately. “On what?” “No—on whom,\ corrected BerL “I’m a plain, blunt fellow, Mr. Ross. I’m half in love with Miss Elsa. I’ll be wholly In love with her if I stay here. That might not suit you—’’ \Does It suit her?” challenged Mr. Ross. \I think so, I hope so,” answered Bert. \Then go and settle it w ith her and decide on my offer.\ And an hour later Bert had accept ed the position, for Elsa had accepted him. (C o p y r ig h t . 1914, b y W . O. C h a p m a n .) HUSBAND COULDN’T FOOL HER Farmer’s Wife Was on the Lookout for Sharpers, and Thought She Had One. \T h e re arp still a few honest men left in the world,\ said J. J. Hill, the financier, at a banquet. “It fs well to be cautious, but we should not sus pect everybody. If we are too sus picious we make ourselves absurd. “I worked in St. Paul in my youth, and they still tell there about an old farm e r and his wife who started for St. Paul on a visit. \Before the couple set off they were cautioned frequently by their friends to beware of the St. Paul sharpers. They replied that they would keep their eyes open. And they started on their journey with a nervous deter m ination to look out for sharpers and ^fcbnfldence men. \Well on the way th'e old farm er got off at a junction to buy some lunch and the train went on without him. It was a terrible mishap. The last he saw of his wife she was cran ing out of the car window, shouting som ething reproachful at him, which he couldn’t hear on account of the noise of the train. \It happened that an express came along a few minutes later. The old farm e r boarded the express and beat his wife to St. Paul by nearly an hour. \H e was waiting for her at the star tlon when she arrived. He ran up to her and seized the valise. “ ‘Well, Jane,’ he said, T am glad to see you again. I thought we was separated for good.’ \But the old lady Jerked the valise from him Indignantly. “ ‘No, ye don’t, Mr. Sharper,’ she cried. T left my husband at the Junc tion. Don’t be cornin’ any of yer con fidence trlcka on me or I’ll call a po liceman.’ ” — Pittsburgh Chronicle- Telegraph. New Ration Suggested. Efforts of food experts of the de partment of agriculture to convince the army that chocolate, now used ex tensively in the emergency ration given soldiers. Is not properly nutri tious are not meeting with entire suc cess. The agricultural experts sug gest the following ration: Prepared beans, three-fourths part; seeded rai sins, four parts; raw, ground lean meat, 1% parts; flour, one part Obvioas. Mias Caustic—Your friend, 3mythe, brags that he Is a self-made man. You never hear a self-made woman boast ing about i t Mr. Critic—No. They like every one to think Iris natural.—Judge. The Washington club had Walter Johnson’s right arm Insured for 1100,000. \The Qiazits are In better condition than any team In baseball,\ voices a New York critic. Young O’Hara is cavorting around short for the Dodgers. He looks like a fixture with the Robinson crew. Manager Jennings of the Tigers probably will send Outfielder Hugh High to Providence for the season. Artie Riggs has been put In charge of the team that Selma will enter fh the Georgla-Alabama league this sea son. • • S Five years ago Fred Clarke was tagged to quit, and now he Is going to lead the Pirates for the fifteenth year. Jake Daubert says the Dodgers will be in the race from the s t a r t So will seven other National league teams. • • • From all accounts \Rabbit\ Maran- vllle Is the real live wire of the Bos ton Braves, not excepting the scrappy Jawn Evers. * e • • According to Ira Thomas, captain of the Athletics, Eddie Plank is already showing world's series form. McGraw please note. • • • - * If Ray Demmltt, Detroit recruit, Is sent back to the minor leagues he hopes th a t his old club, Montreal, will not claim him. Tyrus Raymond Cobb says there is money in baseball, dem onstrating that the tru th will dawn upon even the most obtuse at times. Cincl fans think highly oil Howard Shanks, the Washington outfielder. He seems to be a corker as to ground cov ering and smothering flies. Napoleon Lajole gave part of his monicker to the Naps, and they con tinue to carry it. Now Jimmy Sheck- ard has named his team the \Shecks.\ • e • The M ontreal club of the Interna tional league has signed John Smith Peoli, the husky young catcher who was with the New York Yankees for a time last year. Outfielder Oberta, purchased by Troy New York State league from Lincoln, Illlnois-Missourl league club, has been turned back to that club by Manager Ramsey. • • • Jack Dunn, manager of the Balti more Orioles, has gathered up a fast bunch of players this year, and be lieves his team will outclass the Bal timore Fed outfit. • • • The only fault to be found with the new plan to eradicate profes sionalism from college baseball is that It will eradicate college baseball.— New York American. Seven form er Boston players have Joined the outlaws. They are Rart- den, Campbell, Smith, Quinn and My ers of the Braves and Moseley and Anderson of the Red Sox. When the Cards had Ed Konetchy they thought he was the best first sacker in the business. Now they have Jack Miller, former Pirate, aAd hail him as the greatest ever. Manager Bill Carrigan of the Red Sox believes that in Everett Scott, the St. Paul sensation of last season, he has found a classy understudy for Shortstop Heine Wagner. • • • Fred H. Brown, formerly a player with the New Bedford, Haverhill and Lowell clubs of the New England league, has buckled down to his duties as mayor of Somersville, N. H. Will Shepard, the young semi-pro fessional pitcher, who came to the Detroit Tigers from Stockton, Cal., on catcher Oscar Stanage’s recommenda tion, has been released to Providence. • • . • Louis Heilbroner, president of the Central league, announces that the fol lowing um pires have been signed by the organization: Harry Geisel, George M. Ross, J. R. Goehler and R. H. Morgan. v • • President Lyon of the North Caro lina league announces that his umpire staff will Include William M. Rad- cliffe of Chicago, William E. Van Bus- kirk of Washington and Frank Miller of Versailles, O. * * Hy Jasper is going to use soap In stead of M liva this year. The Sox spltballer believes this means of moist ening the ball is better In every way, and says the others will adopt It. • • • Anyway, BUI Dahlen has it on most of the form er big league managers. The Brooklyn players gave their for mer boss a chest of silver, whereas most m anagers are decorated with tin ware when they are dropped. Connie Mack, Leader of Athletice. The best m anager In the world ci do nothing without a team, but ' takes the m anager to collect a lean Connie Mack actually does not wh any world’s series; Baker, Collins Bender, Barry and others attend to that. However, It Is the crafty Cor nelius who collected these boys to gether. McGraw has not been exactly as successful as Mack in picking an all- star bunch. The Little Nrpoleon, however, always keep Ms club In the fight and can get more out of mediocre talent than any manager In baseball. McGraw’s team s have not been parti cularly great. Of coarse, they have had Mathewson, Marquard, Meyers and Doyle, but It Is doubtful If the Giants would have won a pennant the last three years without the aggres sive McGraw to prod them on. George Stallings Is another example of what a m anager Is to a ball club. The Braves finished last for four years In succession. Stallings took over the m iserable aggregation last spring, made a change here and there, and lo and behold! the Braves Jumped to the top of the second division. In 1909, Stallings took over the Yankees, a tail-end team, and leaped to fifth. In 1910 his bunch landed second. • In an interview with a western reporter Jim m y Callahan said he has five pitchers as good as W alter John son. The W h ite Sox twlrlers honored are Benz, Walsh, Russell, Scott and Cicotte. . • • President Gilmore of the Feds says he will insist on drawing-room con duct on the ball field, but Just wait and see what happens when F. Otto Knabe steps on Joe Tinker's toes again. • • • a Pitcher H ettle Green, whose status was the subject of considerable con troversy last year and who finally drew his release from Indianapolis, is again with the Waco team of the Texas league. Ty Cobb writes that he wears lead in his shoes during the spring to im prove his footwork. It is hoped that “Ping\ Bodle will see the wisdom of this plan and wear a few slugs of lead under his cap.—New York Journal. • • • If you desire—and perhaps you don't—to attach the goat of any of the returned world tourists, hand him the English slogan and suggest that the game he is playing is nothing but “glorified rounders.” That was the shot that landed with a noisy thud seven Inches under the belt.—New York Mail. SPORTING WORLD Napoleon, by W alter Direct, Is said to be the s ta r green pacer of the Geers outfit thfs year. “Doc\ T a n n e r is said to be thinking of going to Russia and training one of the big stables. • ♦ • English boxers are now working on a salary Just as the actors do, accord ing to advices from abroad. • • * Princeton has to be content with the gift of a $300,000 stadium, b u t what It really wanted was a Brickley. • * • The professional golfers will be kept on the hop this season. The three big open events all occur In the short ■pace of a week, « • • • Many of the experts figure that that sterling perform er on the harness turf, Peter Voto, will e n ter the class of-two- minute trotters this year. The chamber of commerce stake seems to match the M. and M. in class. It Is a mighty hard matter to pick one or two from the bunch. Harvey Ernest Is going to hold his filly, Ima Jay. until her five-year-old form In 1915. She beat 2:1b last sea son, and is a high-class prospect. The gray mare Mary Direct, 2:10^4 In a losing race. Is being trained by Wirt Mallow of MaJ. Mallow fame .She Is in the chamber of commerce. Ferdinand Poggenberg Is out with a pertinent suggestion as to the holding of open billiard tournaments in which professionals and amateurs may meet on even terms. • • • The Javelin throw has been added to the list of Intercollegiate competition, demonstrating that the collegians still keep about six years in advance of the rwtatratlon fee offlcials of the A. A. U. which represents the height of refinement, convenience and reli ability in motor car design. It’s the vear-ahead car, with feature after feature that appeals to dealer and consumer alike.

Sarcastic Millionaire. “The scientific management craze and the efficiency engineering craze are as hysterical and false as the white slave craze itself. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves for yielding to such crazes.” The speaker was Senator Shafroth of Colorado. He resum e d : “The claims of scientific manage ment and efficiency engineering are so ridiculous that they remind me of Goodwin's sarcasm . “A man entered Goodwin's office and said: “ 'Your sign ie Incorrectly punctu ated. You have omitted a comma between—’ “ ‘Don’t say another word,’ groaned Goodwin. T can’t bear to think of it. I guess you m u st be an efficiency engi neer. Here I’ve only made a million and a quarter out of this business in ten years. Well, when I think of what I might have done if I’d only hired you to punctuate my sign for me, I feel like suicide, honest to goodness!’ ’’ HAND ITCHED AND BURNED R. F. D. No. 2, Frlendsvllle, Pa.—“I suffered for five years with my left hand supposing the trouble to be salt rheum. What J think started my hand to be sore was by using lye. My fin gers used to crack and bleed. I was unable to use my hand at all. I could not sleep night nor day; It pained. Itched and burned. I could tear my fingers to pieces. My Index and mid dle fingers were swollen twice as large as they ought to be and they were white as could be and full of little water blisters and they would burri and itch something awful. I could hardly stand 1L “I used -------- , home made Tetter Salve, -------- and -------- , and could not find any relief. I discovered that Cutlcura Soap and Ointment were re lieving me. I washed my hands with Cutlcura Soap and applied the Cutl cura Ointment and It waa cured In four weeks.” (Signed) Mrs. Chas. Anderson, May 1, 1913.
