A person has but to lift up a string of sausages to make lis smile. There must be some curious association of Ideas, writes Hob Wagner In tho Sat urday livening Post, that has always made of sausages u favorite prop for the comedian. The popularity of spag hetti us u laugh provoker probably lies lu the great dllllculty of eating It with dignity.

There lire many Interesting-associations wllh royalty attaching to the historic church of St. Slartln's-ln-the-FIcldM, where th king and queen re cently ntlemlod a Special service. It Is not generally known, states a Lon don correspondent, that pews lire per manently rcserbed (here for the sov ereign and the prince of Wales owing to the fact that It Is the mother church of all the royal parishes, and the parish church for Buckingham pah'.ce. Henry VIII built the first church to prevent fitueruls passing ills palace In Whitehall. The present edllleo Mutes from 17-il. and Us chief claim to ar chitectural distinction Is that It pos sesses the only perfect example of u Grecian portico In London. In the older church some of the children of Charles II were christened. George I presented It with an organ, on' which llamiel froouontly played. Nell iwnne and Jack Khcppard were hurled In the undent vaults, it was opposite the present HI.

It seems to be an undisjiutahle fact that the great est baseball league ever seen will be in operation next summer in the United Statca. Professional and amateur baseball probably will be rolled together in one big mass in national nrmy and na tional guard ta:;-ps, naval training afa'.ions and naval reserve stations. ; One naval reserve station seems Well qualified without further com ment to take the championship of the entire armed forced.

But the big Isn caere probably v-iii find their accustomed pia.-cs in the limelight, usurped to a cert-ain oj:fe't. in the army, for the amateurs are po ing to carry more weight with the people.' Lads who never played base ball to any great extent nro going -to try their hands at blossoming into stars. Tho Clark Criffilh Bat and Ball fund nnd efforts of the two big leagues are going to make the camp and naval baseball possible. Thou sands of dollars have been snout for ee,uidmeut to be placed in the camps, and ulrcady much of it hus been put to a good use. In the southern camps baseball has been poariblo through most of the chilly months. The north ern camps will get into action later. The National league liaa equipped several Warships at its own expense with baseball paraphernalia, and the men aboard these . defenders of the nation arc not only enjoying tho game themselves, but are taking it into Murope. Amavcnr organisations all over the country have taken up the wot'; of putting baseball on r rent footing" in the camps, and the probability is teams in these organisations will play a schedule with camp teams.
