farcible speakers in the House and

James McLarty, 14 years of age,
and James McLarty, 16 years of age,
cousins, were arrested Tuesday by
Sheriff Mass and Constable Frost on
a charge of robbing the chicken house
of John Groll, of Bolton. Eleven
large hens were stolen from the house
Monday evening, the thieves gaining
admittance to the place by breaking
a padlock. One of the boys, accord
ing to Sheriff Mass, tried to sell six
of the hens to H. Strebig, the butcher.
Deputy Miles had previously informed
all but "hers, grocers and provision
houses if anyone offered hens for
sale to notify the sheriff's office.
Sheriff Mass caught the eldest boy at
his home and Constable Frost got
the other in this city. All the chick
ens were recovered. Justice of the
Peace Samson held the prisoners ov
er to the juvenile court.
Wonders.
Ernest Thompson feeton said, "I ask
ed 'a little boy in one of my camps to
tell me something wonderful about
birds. ' -
" 'Why.' said the little boy, "bow they
come out of the eggs, that's wonder
ful.' '
' 'Now.' 1 went on, 'tell me some
thing about them more wonderful
still.'
'"" 'Why,' be answered, 'it's more won

The pretty little iuaid whose picture
appears today is to be hostess at a
Washington birthday party on I-'eb. 22.
as this date is also the time when she
first opened her bright blue eyes to the
world. '
Her hair, as jou will see. is piled
high on her head after the fashion of
colonial times, when Dame Martha
Washington and" the ladies of those
days spent hours arranging their tress
es into numberless curls and puffs.
Her dress is made from old time
sprigged muslin, a white background
sprinkled with sprays of flowers being
the design used. The full skirt and

Washington's Birthday Game.
"Historic events" is fun to play at a
Washington birthday party. Prepare
cards in advance. On one draw a cup
and saucer marked "Tea" and over it
sew a few carpet tacks. "Tax on tea"
is the historic event. On another card
paste the picture of the head of Wash
ington cut in quarters. "Washington's
headquarters" is represented by this.
Another is a picture of a cow and two
pens battle of "Cowpens." "Boston
tea party" is m ils by drawing a wag
on marked "2,241 pounds" and some
children eating ice cream. For "stamp
act" paste a stamp on the card and a
picture of an act of some play cut out
of a magazine.
You can add as many historic events
as you please to these, the more the
better for the game. After your guests
are seated give each n paper and a
pencil and one of the prepared cards,
which must be numbered. He must
write the number on his paper and
next to it the historic event represent
ed. The cards are passed in turn to
each player, who does the same. The
one guessing the most events gets some
appropriate prize.
Washington's Etiquette.
Every action in company ought to be
some sign of respect to those present.
In the presence of others sing not to
yourself with a humming noise nor
drum with your fingers or feet.
Speak not when others speak, sit not
when others stand and walk not when
others stop.
Turn not your back to others, espe
dally in speaking.
Be no flatterer; neither trifle with
any one that does not delight in such
familiarities
Rpiid no letters, books or papers in
company except when necessary; then
ask to be excused.
Come uot near the books or writing
of any one so as to read them unasked.
Let your countenance be pleasant,
but in serious matters somewhat grave.
Two pood Games.
An excellent game for a Washington
birthday party is guessing the number
of cherries on an imitation tree. The
cherries are made of candy and are
tied on.
Children love to guess or hunt any
thing, so a game which will create fun
is "hunting the hatchet" A small
hatchet is hidden somewhere in the
room, and the lucky finder wins a box
hatchet filled with candy cherries.
Greatness of Washington.
Washington did the two greatest
things which In politics man can have
the privilege of attempting. He main
tained by peace that Independence of
his country which he had acquired by
war. He founded a free government
in the name of the principles of order
and by re-establishing their sway.

his dwelling place creation. Charles

FEW CAN FILL THE BOLE.
Man Who Has the Position of Emer
gency Batter Is Important Part of the
Game Must Be Natural Batter Mc
Cormltk of Giants Is a Star.
Harry McCormit k draws a good sal
ary from the New York Nationals, and
yet his name appears less often in the
batting order of the club than those of
some other players who do uot get so
much money. Why? He is a pinch
hitter, and a piu; h hitter of his ability
is invaluable to a team with champiou
ship aspirations. As in the case of Me
Cormick. the baseball season wrill be
notable this year for the players car
ried on the payrolls for their pinch hit
ting ability.
Years ago. when baseball was far
from being the scientific game that it
is now, for a club to carry a man who
seldom attempted to play in the field,
but occasionally was sent in to bat for
another weaker hitter in a pincn w:as
practically sin unheard of thing. It
was regarded as a useless expenditure
of money." if it was thought of at all.
But baseball of today demands it, and
baseball of the future will see more
of it.
Pinch hitting has become a part of
the game, just as pitching and fielding
have always been part of the sport.
The player who can take an occasional
turn at bat and produce a hit when a
hit means a run or more in a close
contest and that run means victory is
a player to whom any big league man
ager willingly will pay a good salary.
Such hitters are scarce. The work is
easy, but it is only one in fifty players
who can fill the position capably, and
that is a conservative estimate.
The only requisite is that the player
be a natural hitter. He uiust have a
clear eye and be able to meet'the ball
with a free swing and be able to solve
in just one short trip to the plate what
an opposing pitcher "has."
All this the regular players have
studied while at bat. If they ha' e
failed on their first attempt they have
had time to reason why they failed and
act differently the next time. The pinch
hitter has bad no such opportunity. As
he sits on the bench, waiting for the
manager's call, which may comeat any
moment or may not come at an that
day. he listens to his teammates dfc
cussing the quality of the pitching they
are up against. lie watches the pitch
er closely, but all this is liearsay. and
bis observations are made from a dis
tance. '
When he is called , the chances are
that there will be runners on the bases
and there may be two out. The re
sponsibiiity of the game is suddenly
shifted to his shoulders. It means vic
tory or defeat for his club, and every
game that he figures in may later be
weighed in the balance for or against
his clubiu the filial standing.
It is a responsibility that few. even
though they be veterans, are capable
of assuming without qualms.
Possibly the close observer of base
ball may have noticed that there are
some players who are more proficient
than their associates at hitting when
runners are on the paths. To use the
technical expression, "they hit well be
hind the runners.'' There are other
players who are good batters when the
bags are empty. They can do better
with the stick then than at other times.
Such players are generally called upon
to head the batting order, ajid the ones
who can "hit well behind the runners"
follow them on the batting order where
the manager believes their ability will
be most effective.
For the most part it will be found
that players who are carried for their
pinch hitting alone are not as pro
ficient in the field. There are other
players who are just as good batters
as the pinch hitter or hitters of the
club and who can field as well; there
fore they are needed in the game all
of the time. But a situation frequently
presents itself to the manager where
these particular players are not the
next in order to bat. That's when the
pinch hitter is "the 'man of the min
ute." McCormfck is not a good fielder. He
is slow. Yet it was McCormick who
won more than one game for the
Giants last seasou. Otis Crandall, the
pitcher, is an excellent pinch hitter.
McGraw frequently calls upon the
"demon reliever" to bat This is un
usual. As a rule, for some reason or
other, pitchers seldom are particularly
adept with the bat.
Crandall recalls another who was
listed as a pitcher, but who was more
or less of a failure as a twirler. "Dode"
Criss of the St. Ixmls Browns. Criss
was not worth much more than a shil
ling a weeK as a pitcher, but he was
carried by the Browns for his pinch
hitting
After Chance retired from active
playing and became a sort of bench
manager with the Cutis he was wont
to bat for weaker stickers, and the
big fellow was no slouch in a pinch.
He will act in that capacity for the
New York Americaus ths season, suc
ceeding Harry Wolverton. last yearjs
manager. Wolverton often batted for
