Frank Chance, manager of tha Chi

of baseball. The leu dor of tha Cub
baa pulled off more successful deal
' than any other bl( league pilot and
baa never made a bad one. Chance,
irtth Charley Murphy's assistance, be
gan to dicker for players to strengthen
the Cubs In 1905. HU first big deal
was when he hypnotised Si Louis Into
parting with Mordecal Brown and
Catcher O'Neill for Tltcher Jack Tay
lor, now pitching In the Central league.
Taylor was about at the end of his
big league string, but St. Louis did not
realise It no more than it did that It
had a great pitcher In Three Fingered

Catcher O'Neill along with Pitcher

Then Chance and Murphy mesmeris

' Baseman Stelnfeldt for Pitcher Wel

' the Cubs, but amounted to- but little
thereafter, while Stelnfeldt shone on
the Cub Infield for years

er Bert Briggs. Third Baseman Casey

to Brooklyn for Bheckard. The latter
Is still a star member of the Cabs,
while the others passed below the big
league horlson several seasons ago.
Along In the middle of the 1900 sea

er figured that If Chicago was going
to win another pennant the pitching
- staff would have to be bolstered up.
He had on band a bonch of minor
, league recruits and unloaded Short
stop Tony Smith. Outfielder Davidson
and Hap Smith on Brooklyn, getting
In exchange Pitcher Mclntire. The
latter won thirteen and lost nine
games, while none of the men traded
has stuck to the big show.
A little later Ludevus, Chance's first
base understudy, was dispatched to
Philadelphia for Pitcher Foxen. This
was one deal which did not prove to
? be very beneficial from a Chicago
standpoint, as Loderua has been a win
ner for the Phillies. On the other
hand. Foxen has not been of much ac
count aa a Cub and was released re-
i cently.
- On the day when the Chicago team
was about to depart for the south to
: train last spring Inflelder Scotty lu
ge rton, who had reported to accom
pany the team on Its training trip.
; waa sent with Pitcher Pfeffer to Bos
ton for Inflelder 8bean, a star utility
man. Ingerton has batted well for
Boston, but Chance seems to be satis
fled with Shean, who Is a hlgb class
player.
All of which leads up to the last
deal pulled off by Chance, a trade
', which baa shown that Chance has lost
noiie of hts cunning aa a dealer In
athletic chattels. No wonder that Bos
ton fans as well as Vice President
Paige are yelling murder. KUng, now
on the toboggan; Weaver, an ordinary
pitcher; Griffin, an untried pitcher,
and Kaiser, far from a wonder as an
outfielder. In exchange for Graham, a
' catcher who Is good now snd who la
Improving; Wilbur Goode, a hard hit
ting outfielder, who seems to have Im
proved aa a fielder since he was a
' Nap; Cliff Curtis, a fair pitcher, and
Collins, of whom bat little Is known.
In other Words, Chicago traded KUng
tor Graham and Curtis, aa they are the
only players in the deal worth consid
eration.'; y !

My friend Mrs. 8outbwlk wrote me
to come down to ber country place.
She said she had an especial reason for
asking me, but didn't tell me wbst It
was. So one midsummer morning
took a train to make the visit. On
reaching the statlon-l was not x
pected till an hour later not finding a
conveyance to meet me. I concluded to
leave my baggage at the statiou and
walk. Never baring been to Mrs
Soutbwlck'a place before, I waa ubibied
to Inquire the way and waa put on to a
abort route, at the end of wbleb I could
enter the grounda at the nr On
arrival 1 climbed a fence and walked
some three or four huudod vard to
a clump or trees, which wii so turn
ing that 1 concluded to penetrate It.
Bight in the middle there was swung
a hammock, and In the hammock lay a
young girl asleep.
Now, a young girl aaleep In a bam
mock la a pretty sight at any time, but
Of pretty and In a shaded nook she
Is tempting. This one wss very pretty.
There waa about her that relaxation
artists love to get in tbelr pictures and
statuary. There was a slow beavtni: of
her breast Her mouth was partly open
showing a narrow line of Ivory be
tween a pair of pink coral lips.
Well, though the natural conse
quence of a young man seeing a girl
thus defenseless before blm Is that be
cannot resist the temptation to kiss
her and get bis ears boxed not tor

deavor to describe what happened. I
advanced a step at a time, and with
every "p "TTtrl I ,nnk tln "ack.
ward In my resolution not to aisoon-
estly a tea! what did not belong to me
I reached a point bat a yard from the
alee per wit bout waking her. 8be was
slumbering so calmly that for some
time I dared not proceed farther for
fear of awakening her. Had ahe alept
more soundly I might have been
bolder. But while halting 1 waa grad
ually filling with bravery or reckless
ness. As aoon as I bad gathered
enough courage for the purpose 1 ad
vanced another atep or two. halted,
then bent down to see bow near 1
could bring my face to hers without
wakening her. then touched my It pa
lightly to hers.
Beyond a alight spssmodlc move
ment she remained the same. Within
a single moment I experienced dread
and reassurance. The girl alept on. and
L having achieved my purpose, be
came suddenly - conscious - of the
frightful risk I had ran and was
seised with a desire to escape the con
sequences of my offense. I withdrew
aa atealthlly aa possible and proceed
ed to the boose.
I waa received by Mrs. Southwlck
with a hearty welcome, and we sat
down together oa wicker chain on the
piazza. "And now that you are here,"
she said, "and while we are alone I
will give you my reason for inviting
you down. 1 have" a wife picked out
for you."
"A wlfer
"Tea, a very lovely girt modest, un
assuming, pretty Indeed, everything
that la maidenly."
"And all tela la for mer
"Tea. bat yoa must proceed with her
very slowly. 8 he Is sensitive, pare.
The least advance before an offer of
marriage would undeniably abock her."
"For beaven'a saker I exclaimed In
wardly. "Suppose she should be the
girl asleep in the hammock
I Ti f-TlTIriinTi1iiiiTi modeatv." con
tinned the go-between, "that is Edith's
chief charm. I am sure that alone Is
enough to make yoa love her."
"1 dare say." I replied, with proper
politeness.
When 1 was presented to Miss Edith
Greer I felt the guilt of Judas Iscartot
welling op In me. I grew red and pale
by turns. 1 stammered out a few
words that didn't mean anything. I
sat down before she or Mrs. Sooth
wick bad seated herself and Jump
ed up as if I had encountered a tack
on the cushion. Mesnwhlle Miss Greer
stood with ber eyes bent on the floor
ss If 1 were the first young man ahe
bad ever met. Mrs. Sootbwick came
to the rescue by Inviting as Into the
dining room for luncheon.
The fact that the young lady dis
played no such embarrassment aa she
might have done bad she been sensi
ble of the kiss 1 bsd stolen, that she
neither appeared abocked nor indig
nant, brought a return of confidence.
I found ber rather too unsopblatlcated;
but. as Mrs. Southwlck bad said, ber
modesty was ber chief charm. Aa I
noticed this 1 shuddered at rhe enor
mity of my offense In pressing those
pure lips with mine and gave frequent
thanks that the piracy had not been
Je tec ted.
Mrs. Southwlck made the match sbe
intended. The only difficulty In the
way was that the young lady was sj
sweetly Innocent that It seemed a
sacrilege to me to propose to her. I
finally got out a proposition, and.
though at first ahe aald she was too
young and loo Inexperienced to trust
herself to any man. since sbe regard
ed me the soul of bonor she would
ccmmlt herself to my keeping.
The denouement of a love story
usually comes with a wedding. In
this case It comes at a tin wedding.
"What a modfast little thing yoa
were, my dear," 1 said, "when we
were married this day ten years sgo.'-
"Rats!" she exclaimed. "1 waa lay
ing In wait for yoa in that hammock
and waa wide awake wann you kissed

Continental Congress waa established,
the Declaration of Independence, the
most masterful piece of literature of
ita kind the world has.eer-een, was
drafted and signed. The formal de
claration of war waa made, the army
centralized and General George Wash
ington put In command. And when
the news of this came to the ears of
hia Majesty. King George, he said,
"What, have my subjects rebelled?"
His Informer replied- "Rehellli'"
Us hell, it's revolution."
This uneven contest waged for
seven long years, on the one hand
there was power, money, plenty of
soldiers fully equipped with arma and
supplies; on the other hand, there were
scarcity in numbers, lack of funds,
arma and even the bare necessities of
life. The British hired Hessian sol
diers, who fought for the money they
were getting and because they had to
do it. There waa no heart or aplrit
of loyalty In their actlona. The Am
ericans fought for a purpose, fought
for the love of country, and that tney
might be free. Their loyalty can only
be measured by the hardships they
endured: their' blood stained foot
prints at Valley Forge, their expedi
tions In the face of hunger against
Fort Quebec, . their midnight cap
ture of the Hessians at Trenton, their
turning of defeat Into victory at the
battle of Brandywlne, show us that
their courage waa undaunted and their
patriotism unbounded. They fought
for a purpose, and they won,-won be
cause they were right
Rule-orWnga-Bihtahed.-
From thirteen weakly colonies scat
tered along the Atlantic shore, a new
nation waa born. It waa baptized In
the blood of Its own native sons and
christened the United States of Am
erica. The seeds of freedom sown by
Patrick Henry, John Hancock, Samuel
Adams, General Washington and oth
ers, had taken root and grown into
full maturity, and the rule of kings
waa banished forever.
Ladles and gentlemen: Although
the Americans had won their Inde
pendence, and severed themselves for
ever from the tie of British rule, yet,
let us bear in mind that a great deal
remained to bo done. The Constltu
tion had to be drafted, a permanent
government established and the Union
formed. There were thirteen Indepen
dent colonies loosely connected to
gether, each colony wanted to be fore-
mo8tneUx..leaLtuiitir silntna littw'ew
them. Perhaps each colony wanted to
furnish the first president. A- Con
stltutlonal Convention waa held, and
In that convention, there were twd
factions: one leaned toward Demoo
racy, and the other more toward Ab
solutism. Their differences of opinion
were debated in every conceivable
manner, and for a time, an agreement
seemed Impossible. At last, by the
adoption of various amendments, to
the drafted form aa submitted to the
convention, the Constitution was
adopted, ratified and the government
permanently formed. Little did those
Constitution builders realize that they
were framing an instrument that
would permit the growth of our coun
try from thirteen weakly colonies to
its present dimensions and greatness.
They probably did not realize that
they were framing an Instrument des
tined to be pronounced by Interna
tional law writers, as one of the best
and freest ever written. Little did
they realize that that constitution
would bo elastic enough to extend fur-
ther than governing the people on a
narrow strip of territory on the At
lantic shore; Instead, It has extended
not only to the great lakes on the
north, to the Gulf of Mexico on the
south, and to the Pacific Ocean on
the west, but It has extended thousands
of miles into Alaska, Porto Rico, Ha
waii ana even to the Orient, to the
continent across the seas.
First to Bring Message.
We have been talking of the great
ness of the Constitution lot na nnw
turn to the Declaration of Indepen
dence and think of Its Immortal
truths. When 135 years ago, our fore
fathers brought the message to the
world that all men are created free
and ealial. and no cnnrnmml n
stand strong and powerful without
me approving voice or an undivided
people, they brought forth an Idea
which no nation on earth had uno.

But When came these Immortal
truths of the Declaration? Did they
find them In hlstorv? No niH th
find them In the classics? No. Long,
