Miss Gladys Emery, the California
lrl who Insisted on marrying the
Jap, Aokl, has tired of her bronzed
husband and now seeks a divorce.
Nothing else was expected of Miss
Gladys for as soon as the novelty of
marrying a Jap wore off It was pre
sumed that she would seek something
else to amuse herself. So far as she
Is personally concerned, she deserves)
no sympathy whatever. But her good
old parents, who watched and cared
for her tenderly who spent their lives
for her sake, who sacrificed much
that she might be well educated and
refined, are tasting of the bitter dregs
of distress caused by their daughter's
action. An exacting world will units
' In saying, let the girl suffer, but at
the same time everyone will have a
tender feeling for the mother and fa
ther. .a . r-.' - -i .
The west furnishes examples of loy
alty of friends that no other section
of the country can. Near Gram! Junc
tion caa man carried a frigid who
was Injured 27 mjles to a physician
recently, which is undoubtedly .the
real Damon and Pythias spirit, But
that Is the spirit that made the west.
Had people been different there would
be no such development as can he
seen nowj There would be no such
barmony'of feeling and action and ho
such glorious efforts for advancement
eterted as, cm be noticed on all sides.
It Is found by comparison of sta
tistics that the average salary paid
ministers of the gospel is $663 In the
United States. ! This is certainly a pity
and if it were possible the government
would confer a favor on the nation by
keeping the figures out of print. While
there are many men in the ministry
who should not be there, and there
are many who probably do not de
serve even that salary, yet the great
majority of them are entitled to more
consideration.
j
Every man thinks his line of busi
ness carries the heaviest burdens.
Usually he lives' in this' frame of mind
until some neighbor comes along who
is following another line and un
bosoms himself telling of his troubles.
By comparison it will then he found
that everything Is about on an equali
ty In this commercial world and it is
a fight for the survival of the fittest.

' ME.H0KIAL DAY.
(By Mrs. E. C. Moore.)
Tis a very solemn day
For the children of even the gray,
For a commandment Is given them to
say:
"Honor thy father and thy mother.
That thy days
May be long in the days which the
Lord thy God has given thee." '
So their children are taught to per
fect harmony
In blending the blue and the gray,
For their father is, perhaps, a
Son of a Union soldier;
Their mother, maybe, a ..
Daughter of the Confederacy
And as I look at you, 0, soldier;
Scarred and worn t
For being brave and true
How needless these scars and wounds
If only man to man had said: "I
love yon." ' , .
But we fight for what we think is
right,
And every man will Justify
For having done or for what he'll do;
This is why on Solemn day
We reverence both tho gray' and blue.
There Is only one who intercedes,
For both. saddened gray or. lighting
blue, ',
And he lives today and will for eter-
nlty",
That One who gave himself
To keep his brother, all for love of
you.
Today we meet to honor those
Who founded freedom and liberty
And as o'er their graves these flowers
strew,-. ...
Let each one pray to found
A kingdom of unity ,
Then will hearts bloom their rarest
gems
To wreathe the tombs of living men
with "I love you."
This is Solemn day;
To remember death, is sad always,
Whether the one was a weakling born
Or whether the one was brave and
strong. "
It is Bad to know
That this mound is the all visible
Of him who wore the gray or blue,
But the Baddest heart today, I trou,
Is that heart longing to recall
And say to them: "I love you." .

WAGNER AND
COBB COMPARED
i! Hew Two Greatest Ball Flayers
In Gams Sizs Up,
DIFFERENT STYLES OF THE liEti
Tyrut Wins Admiration by His Grace,
While Honu Awm One by His
Bulk Both Have Achieved Grtat
Results.
As has been the case for the past
few , seasons, Hans Wagner of the
Pittsburg Nationals and Tyrus Cobb
of the Detroit Americans are. again
corralling ' all the batting and bus
running honors of their respective
leagues. Nearly every spring reports
from the training camps tell that the
equals or superiors of these two stars
have been found. But shortly aftw
the season opens these would be
greats fall by the wayside. There i
only one Ty Cobb and one Hans Wu li
ner. They are the two greatest play
ers in the game today.
The comparison between Cobb and
Wagner Is an interesting one. ' Both
achieve great results, but not in the
same manner. Wagner is a ponder
ously "por.'wt athlete, while Cobb, a
slender, delicate appearing chap, pos
sesses ability which Is constantly
brought to the urn-face by his brilliant
plays and the wonderful spirit that
has made hint envied and hated by
others.
Both men are . wonderful, hitters,
wonderful base runners and wonderful
fielders. For more than twelve years
"jts. r ,. i
HOW THB TWO OBIAT FLATS RS PXRFOB1I
ON TBS DIAMOND.
Wagner has kept np a dizzy pace. He
haa played every position and, not
only that has been a sensation in
alL He has the speed of Cobb, th.t
terrific hitting powers of Lajole. the
energy of Jennings and the disposi
tion of Willie Keeler. Cobb, on the
other hand, has been setting the king
ly pace for but four years.
But how different they are! You
point to Cobb with pride as the ideal
ball player, and then yon watch Hans
Wagner and smile atthe comparison,
for all that Cobb is, except in ability
to "get there." Wagner isn't.
In action Ty Cobb comes closer to
the athletic ideal than any other man
in baseball. Built like a greyhound,
bis lithe body is always a study.
Wagner Is without precedent In tho
athletic world. As Cobb wins admira
tion by bis grace, Wagner awes ono by
his bulk. Wagner just bulges all orer.
Ho haa to have shoes made to order,
ho Is cramped In an ordinary bed, ho
oats a moal worthy of three men, and
ra hands art as big as good slsed
BSJOp, v , "v-
whoh Wagner wabbles to tho plato
twinging bis great tat It looks as If
Gibraltar were toppling OTor. But
when he Is set to swing there Is action
wonderful action. . . "
Wagner can run the hundred yards
In close to ten seconds any ttmo dur
ing a season's play. He doesn't sprint
in the sense-of tho word. , nor does bo
gallop. Ko one has been quite aWe to
describe "just what J4oas, but bo gets
there. ..
I In fielding It's the same way. la
nans great hands the ball assumes
the site of a pea or close to It ' The
moM terrific 'drive- In his direction be
comes a puny tap when he reaches for
It ' . ; .-
Wagner blt .300 every year by force
of habit. '. He ban no equal at short
and his base, running Is always of the
bent. He is paid probably the btggest
alary of any player In the game.
Cobb Is" a study. Just picture your
self as you are. Imagine seeing your
picture in the paper every night In
every town you weut to with lines un
der it to.tbe. effect that fifteen or more

you.4 Wouldu't yon feel a ' little
squeamish, and wouldn't you the next
time you went out be a little more
careful? ' ' '
I But not Tvrus. For four veara now
threats have been made against him
by every disgruntled player he has
shown np. But he has kept right on
playing bettor ball every day, and now
he stands with only one man as bis
rival, and that Is Wagner.
PLANS OF CHILD

HATIGNAL SOCIETY ORGANIZED
Workers In Different but Allied Fields

Meeting In Worcester, Mass. Or
ganization and Increased Efficiency
' Demanded.
The second general meetlmr of the Na
tional Child Conference For Research
ana welfare Is being planned for the
last days of June and early July.
This meeting will be . at Worcester.
Mass., where the conference came into
existence nearly a year ago. Leaders
in various forms of effort for the bet
terment of Juvenile citizens will ad
dress the sessions.- The conference
will last five days. This organization
alms to be a central clearing house for
Information "and for definite action for
the welfare of children In all depart
ments. Instead of. taking some one
phase of child nature, such as garden
ing or playgrounds or bealth, the con
ference regards the coming citizen as
a unit and attends to the unit's needs
In their relation to one another and to
the community.
Speaking on this peculiarity of the
organization, Henry S. Curtis, the sec
retary, said that thlrty-three child
helping organizations were represent
ed at the first meeting In July, 1909.
i,-. "It Is expected that there will be a
still more general representation this
year," he added. "At these meetings
matters of general Interest are dis
cussed and methods that might apply
to different fields are considered. It
h the purpose of the conference to
bring the different organizations closer
together, so that there may bo less
wasted and misguided effort
"We all know the results of organi
sation In the commercial world and the
Increased business efficiency that fol
lows., We want to secure some such
results for philanthropic movements.
We want to nke 11 easy 'or various
kinds of social workers in different
but allied fields to become acquainted
with each other, with each other's
troubles and methods, and to provide
them with a central source of Informa
tion and assistance when needed.
