IS A 1.0 IE EXCITlNQ r.XFERIENCE OF COBS, WULLIN AND DONOVAN IN PHILADELPHIA. TESTS NERVES Of PLAYERS Barney Oldfleld Did Not OrTolafe on Return Trip "Desth Vlly Jim" Boott'a Hrd Luck Ctory Evan Comedlsn. By HUGH 8. FULLERTON. George Mullln, Bill Donovan and Ty Cobb,- feeling rich because, they were reporters Instead of ball players dur ing the world's series, decided to buy a touring cir to take them lo tbe gams and back In Philadelphia on the econd day of the srles. They bad employed a tail cab tha first day, and fcftd tipped the driver liberally to wait for them and taka thorn back to the fcotel after the game. Of course be failed to bo there and they wanted a couple of hours getting to the hotel Tla Philadelphia street cars, which make people from other cities qi.lt kicking on their transportation facili ties They decided not to be caught the second day, so for 125 they em ployed a young man who was peddling a touring ear to take them to the game, wait and bring tbem hack. The three Tiger star cllratod. tato the tonneau and started. The driver threw on the high speed and the car leaped down Chestnut street 40 miles an hour, swung Into Twentieth on two wheels, scraped a hub against a post, scratched the side of a trolley car and shot toward the park. At the boulevard the auto ran straight at a street car, swerved Just as the mo torman reversed bio car and Jumped, went over the fender, swung onto the sidewalk aDd cleared a cost fcr hull an Inch. At. Clrard avenue the auto Bhot over the fender of a passing car, bumped an express wagon, righted Itself and went on. At that time the driver had abandoned the wheel and was chang ing his gear so the car went half-way onto the sidewalk, lurched back, craped along the Bide of the street car, iulsscd a wngou an Inch and plow ed on up the hill. At Hldge avenue the auto hit the head of a horse whose owner had Jerked him back onto his haunches, Bwerved between two street cars, bumped a mall wagon squarely In the middle and tossed It onto the eldowalk, missed another car by a hair's breadth and tore on, the only damage being that the driver's hand was cut to pieces by flying glass. From there It was pretty clear sailing, ex cept that the driver twice took the sidewalk to pass cars, and once bump ed a horse out of the way, raced at 80 miles an hour through the crowd crossing the bridge to the ball park and pulled up at the entrance. - Neither Cobb nor Mullln had spoken a word during the wild ride, but Don ovan had leaned over a couple of times to remind the driver that he was a married man and his family might miss him. Tho trio "climbed cut a little bit nervous and much re lieved. "Say, you loafor, are you drunk or trying to kill us?" demanded Dono van. "Pal," remarked Mullln, "if I had your speed and curves I'd he the great est pitcher in the world." They lined up facing the driver, who calmly removed his goggles and grin ned. Ho was Harney Oldfleld and had borrowed the driver's cur and takan Testing the Players' Nerves. his place at the wheel to test the nerves of the players. He tested them all right. They got another driver to take them back "The toughest game of ball I ever lost," remarked Jim Scott, "Death Val ley Jlui" the White Sox call blm, "was up at Ulsbee when I was pitch ing for the Imperial team In the Des ert laguo. It was a hot day and I was going fyje until along In the fifth inning they had a couple of men on bases and some one hit a long fly to the center fielder. He was standing under the ball ready to catch It, when a rattlesnake commenced rattling, and be turned and ran for a club to kli! It with, liufore he killed the snake three runs had scored and we were two behind. We tied them up In the seventh and In the eighth, with a man on basis the batter hit a little bounder right at the short stop. Just as it was going to bound Into his hand tho ball hit a horned load and bound ed crooked and they tied up tho score. We got another run In tha ninth, and In their half a man wus on second, two strikes on the butte-r, and It looked as If we hud the game Wuu. I pluheU a uplt ball that cut the plate In hsilf end the pnMr nfnrj s ft Instead of catching the Vail the curli er Jumped ten ft and 1 t out a j-f 12, for Just ss I itched a big ranUi!a crawled ever his wrist and onto his nut, Hq wan so seared be didn't even chs9 tlie ball so I bad to do It, One run hfid counted, evening up the score, and tle butter was running wild. I rearhad the hall and started to pick It up, but didn't and the run couut ed snd bent us out of the game." "Why didn't you pick up the hall, Jim?" arked n Infcrouted listener. "Pick it up?" ho demanded. "I shruild say not. There waa a cent! pede crawling up one side of It and a scorpion perched rlcht on top. I let that gme go." Henry O'Day, the umpire, and Johnny Ever of the Cubs are the dearest enemies. The pair would feel lost If they didn't hxve esrh other to fight, and yet between th player and the umpire there exists a deep seated admiration. Somehow they re call Leevers (Charles not Gam) aong about the Iriah: "Fighiin' aich other for the sake of peace. And hstin' alch other for the lore of God." If anyone remarks to Fivers that O'Day Is a bad umpire he Is likely to get a bard call, and no one can tell O'Day Evera la a bad ball player. When Evers broke his leg at Cin cinnati lute in the season an acci dent which wrecked a lot of Chicago's hope for the world's championship, O Day was one of the most sorrowful of the gang. "It's pretty tough on me," remark ed Hank that evening, speaking of the accident to Evers. "I suppose he'll be In an ambulance out by the club house ail during the world's series, and I'll have to stop the game and go out there End chase the ambulance off the field." Steve Evans of the St. Louis Cardi nals is one of the comedians of the same, besides being quite a ball play- Baseball In the Desert er. When the Cards were going to pieces during the latter part of last season and everything was turning against them, a rabid writer, dis pleased because the opposing batters kept hitting balls Just where Steve couldn't reach them, spoke sarcas tically of him as belonging to the "Shady corner club." Meaning that Steve played far out in order to get into the shade of the fence and es cape the broiling sun. The following day, slor.j In the middle of the game, Evans appeared in the outfield with a huge Japanese umbrella and a camp stool. Unfold ing the parasol he seated himself on the stool, lighted a cigarette and tried to got away with It. The apprecia tive roar of the crowd warned the um pire that something was going on, and ho banished the outfit from the field and forced Steve to stand In the broiling sun which Is some broil In St. Louis. Evans Is Irrepressible. One even ing In New York during last season he was invited, with several other players, to dine at one of the most ex clusive clubs In the city. The club is one composed almost entirely of millionaires, among them some of the most prominent figures In Wall street The host was a man of great wealth, and also a great baseball fan, and perhaps he thought that the players would be a trine awed and have a better realization of his own Impor tance If they were entertained at the club, so he took them there. As the party entered the club the lounging room was filled with million aires, some of them in the multi class. Evans stopped Just Inside the door way and surveyed the throng; men whose names will start a panic or boon a stock, sitting In deep chairs, most of them In evening clothes. Then he raised hla voice nnd remarked so as to be beard all over the room: "Look at them. Just finished a day's work, taken off the overalls, hung up the spade and picks, and are here wasting their dollar and a half In riotous living. I suppose they'll sit here and rush the can until they've spent their wages. It's a sad sight." And he passed, mournfully shaking his bead through the room, leaving a speechless bunch of autocrats gazing after him. (Copyright. 191ft, by Jowh B. Btwlw.) Cheaper by the Hour, I must say you've got a pretty lot of cttlzenc to allow themselves to be charged at tha rate of 6 cents a mile from here down to the Junction on a miserable one horse branch road," said the shoe drummer, bltlncly. "I'd llko ter call yer attention ter one fact before you go on usln' any more euch language, " answered the ticket ng-nt camly, "and that is tlit while It may be & cents a utile. It's oulv 5 cc-uU an hour." Metropolitan -j. 1 1 r n 7ith V 7 MADE . ALONG SENTIMENT That's Why "Easy Boss" Was Up Against It. NOT WHAT FIRM REQUIRED Superintendent Couldn't See Things as He Saw Them, and In Consequence Employees Have Lost Their Fool Friend Lacking In Nerve, He was a man of sense, but he bad fed on sentimental literature and nursed on golden texts and survived a romance or two until his business talents were not what they seemed. In short, he was the seutimental boss who was up against It, His help adored him, but as some things are too good to be true, or too good to last, the "dear fellow" wasn't there long to be adored. The superin tendent said the business was Blldlng down hill ever since he took charge, and these were the charges aga.nst him: He hasn't the nerve to lay off the girl with the dreamy eye. Tha girl having a mother dependent, etc., he couldn't do it. He would rather cheat the firm than offend one of these little ones In the ofllce. Here are two distinct Incidents that brought tho sentimental boss Into the quicksand of disfavor: He raised the Glhsonlan beauty three dollars a week because she wert Into his inkwell. "Mother must have a sea voyage, the doctor says and I really don't know how O, dear me, everything's such a problem!" Her sweet convincing bints about the diffi culty of making both ends meet on $12 a week drifted right to the core of the soul of the manager. The daughter of the minister of the church to w hich he belonged asked for a chance In his office. There was no room Just then for Minnie, but he thought he could make an opening by and by. When the first rush came along he created a new position. When the rush was over he couldn't abolish It, and think of Minnie pattering up and down the pavements and applying to brutes of managers! Minnie enjoyed her snap, plus ten dollars a week, and one day she inno cently padded the figures on the pay roll so you couldn't see how much extra uin money she took out of the office. The sentimental manager was in the meditative mood ior a week and then out of his own pocket covered up the $20 deficit and never said a word to the minister, who was strong on home government, and through his own influ ence got Minnie another position with another firm where she could not re peat tha same ofTenee, and then gave her only one little hint as to being more honest hereafter. Noble act of friendship from the standpoint of the minister foolish act of a chump who wasn't cut out for business from tho standpoint of the firm. And the firm policy of a firm will prevail against the "lunatic lover and the poet" combination. That's how the sentimental boss got weary of the boss and Is now a successful pi ano tuner.

Overanxlety cither to start a busi ness or to sell t Is apt to Influence a bad bargain. Having your understanding In writ ing Is to save yourself money and friends. Every person metes out his own punishment. A person Is often astonished to find bow hard it Is to break little habits. Spending money Is easy enough without having a lot of charge ac counts. God credit Is conducive to wasteful buying. Let your wife know Just how much she can have each week and you have a basis for financial harmony. A too convenient check book tends to extravagance. Square dealing always earns Its own reward. Wasting your employer's lime Is a near relative to petty larceny. Don't think that you can always crawl out of difficulty as easily as you did the last time. The person who persists in taking chances will some time find the way of escape blocked. Things are pretty evenly distrib uted, after all. People generally get Just about what they deserve. Ap pearances niny be deceitful. Money doesn't always bring happiness. Good health and a slim purse beats riding with gout in a gasoline buggy. Sacri fice Is the price of success. The silver spoon is often corroded with discontent. S. DeWitt Clough In Chi cago Tribune.

Little Stones for By NELLIE FRANCES MILBURN "Give me a good piece of pie end I don't care what else I have for lunch. My mother has been sick, and I miss her old-fashioned apple pies." The young workman swung his tin dinner-pall In his hand as he talked to his chuiu on their way home from the factory. Folly was leaning out of the win dow and heard the conversation as the men passed by the house. Opportunities are all around us, but most of us are looking so eagerly for something big that we fall to see the small things. Pauline Gr?sham had been wishing that she had some way to make a lit tle money, and as she heard tbe con versation the thought came to her: "Why couldn't I bake pies and sell them to the factory hands?" She lived with her grandfather and grandmother In a pretty little cot tage of their own, tliuated iu a grow ing town. Their circumstances had been comfortable as long as Mr. Gresh am was able to work. But now they had to eeonomUo In order to pay doc tor's bills out of their tiny Income. Folly was a bright girl and able to earn a good salary If she could have been spared to leave home, but now her o'ily hope was to employ her leisure hours in some way that would bring In a little cash. A large fuctory vhloh employed ev erKl hundred workmen had recently been built a square distant from their home and Folly saw th&t the mlsht sell plea for the workmen's lunch. Giandiaa was a fine took and made dtlliious plea and bad carefully taught Tolly the secrets of her art. After borne consultation Folly pre pared number of business cards which wore simply ftp.iares of heavy whltu paper on which was written: "Hot boiue made vies will lo on Workers of . ENDEAVOR WORK AMD DRUDGERY MISTAKE TO MAKE LABOR THE ALL IN LIFE. - ."Success," as Modern Business World Understands It, fieemi. After All, Poor Thing to Strive For. Is It not time we took thought a lit tie on this business of work? 1 atn not railing against the toll for the daily bread. I am ready to agree with all the fine things that have been and can be said of It, writes Temple Scott in the Forum. Hut I do denounce and stigmatize as contemptible and unman ly that attitude toward the work we are compelled to do, which accepts It as the be-all and to the end-all of hu man aspiration. This Is not work. It Is drudgery, and as such It Is degrad ing and enslaving. As It is practiced and understood today In the thousands of. centers of modern civilization, this drudgery Is one of the most pernicious Influences that can afflict mankind. There Is nothing sacred In It, nothing beautiful, nothing worthy. Go through a modern department store and tell me If the work done there jy the hun dreds of young men and young wom en is either worthy or beautiful or sucred. Examine the factories, the coal mines, the railroads, the offices of merchants and newspapers and shop keepers, and show me there the sanc tity and the beauty of labor. Oh, yeB, all these creatures are earning their living. Some of them have, perhaps, found the work fl'ted for them and have made Inventions and improve ments In the enterprise with which they are associated. Some have been progressed in position and have them selves become employer. What of it all? Have they done anything more than make a living? And if thoy have saved money,- if even they have be come millionaires, have they done any thing more than work? Do they do anything more than go on working? If they do then for what? For doing more work, and more work? For mak ing more money and more money? And this is living! Petroleum In Cake. Tank steamers taking oil the world around may in time be a thing of the past. Now they have got up solid oil, and they declare it Is almost pure petroleum. Slight pressure, such as squeezing a CRke of it in the hand, causes the oil to ooze out. The cake of petroleum, perhaps picked into a wooden case lined with tinfoil, thus preventing waste or evaporation, may be shipped around the world. Rank, power, wealth.

Business Women Polly's Pies. sale at No. 2C0 John street, at noon tvery day. Whole Pies 25 cents. Big slice 5 cents." Polly hired a small boy to band these cards to the workmen as they passed by the house the next morning, thinking that after tha first day her pies would need no advertising. Not daring to venture much, sh baked four custard pies and four made of canned peaches, and arranged thero neatly on a w hite covered table on the side porch with a pile of wooden plates and wrapping paper, and wai ready dressed In neat calico dress and white apron when the noon whis tle blew. In a few minutes a boy came somewhat bashfully up the walk and pointing to the custard pies, said: "Gimme one of them," and laid down his quarter. Polly Immediately put aside the bit of silver for a lucky piece. Moments passed aud she grew anx ious till ilnally the same boy came running back and asked for three mors pies, takiug one of peach and two ol custard. The noon hour was now over and Folly was a little disappoint ed, although she had not .counted on soiling many the Writ week. Then she thought of selling the leffc over pies to her neighbors, and pack ing them In a basket, the started down street and sold them alt to busy housekeepers. The next day she sold a dozen plus with calls for more. and mnJo arrangements with two boys tc carry pies to tbo factory, for which service each was to receive a sllctj of pie as payment. Polly has learned how to buy mate rials In large Quantities, has a wom an come to help her every morning, and with some assistance from bur gium-M .-ii'-iiis U earning a comlortalilu income with her plea. tCopyiUhl. ts;C. fcy Joih B. liowlus.) v;accc:o cy ::m vi:d W .,Uiu Particular Tn-n who amok ra?i kow offecslvfl to prp' of refinement I a PfrorK tobacco breath, and bow objections!.! to themselves ts that "dark brown tftt" In the mouth aftr snruikln.
