FEELING SORE.
According to Eddie CIcotte,
Kid Uleasou, t he '"assistant man

pulled one of the fuuuiest bits
of repartee ever heard od the
baseball diamond, at the ex
pense of Amos Stnmk of the
Athletics. In Chicago one day last
summer.
"Walsh was pitching one of his
usual air tight games, and when
Strunk hit an easy grounder to
short Gleason sfarted to kid the
player." said Cicotte. "Strunk
returned the compliment and
compared (ileasoa to a bit of old
junk
"The Kid nave a short laugh
and then, turning to Billy Evans,
who was umpiring, exclaimed:
' 'Billy, look at the original

"As he spoke Gleason pointed
at Strunk's. head.
"Amos flushed to the roots of
his hair. tried to answer,
couldn't and then retreated to the
Philadelphia bench
"During the remainder of the
season all a player had td say to
get Strunk's 'goaf was 'door

HARRIET GRAY
f . i
I Unknown Fate Brought
I Out Who She Was ?
By ESTHER VANDJEVEER
t ;..;..t..;..t'f
My mother died when I was a little
girl and my father when I was twen
ty. I understood from my lawyers
that the estate left by my father would
give me a comfortable income, and.
since I had no tics at home, I conclud
ed to travel. Hearing of friends about
to sail for Europe, I secured an invita
tion to be one of their party.
Before going I set rny house in order
and did what I had been long averse
to doing, looked over family papers
that had been accumulating for years.
There was a trunk full of them, and
I set about examining then) with a
view to destroying such as could be of
no further use. .Many of them needed
but a hasty glai'ce. and some scarcely
needed t!i:' I found one envelope
marked "Harriet Gray"- and. opening
it. took out a number of miscellane
ous papers, conslsliug mostly of re
ceipted I, i;ls. There was a deed to a
lot on one of thy business streets in
the city i:; which I lived, the maker of
the deeil having transferred the prop
erty "in consideration of .!." I didn't
think the paper of much importance,
the lot b"hi;!: of s little value. The
cuve'ope ;!. c-oii'.aiticd a will drawn
by Edward Gg!e;hy in favor of Harriet
CJ ray.
I had no knowledge of business mat
tcrs. and if I h.-id I doubt if I should
have i nnsit'ercd these documents of
any importance. They were yellow
wi-.h age and had probably been in the
trunk for innv.y years. ITad they not

been obsolete father would doubtless
have removed them long ago. Proba
bly every one who. had once been in
terested in them was dead. However,
I concluded to put these papers, to
gether with a few others I thought it
best not to destroy, in a tin box. The
other papers I burned.
Having made all necessary arrange
ments, I went abroad. During my ab
sence I fell in with various persons,
among others a young man named
Schuyler. Ned Schuyler was seeing
Europe on $(!00.
My first sight of him was one even
ing when sitting on the porch of an
inn located on the bank of one of the
Swiss lakes. I. saw him comiug up
the road with the springy step of youth
and evidently as light hearted as if he
had had a letter of credit in his pocket
for 100.000 rrancs. He ate supper at
the inn and in the evening made the
acquaintance of our party.
The place being attractive as well as
inexpensive, we all remained there for
some time. boatic.gon the lake, climb
ing the mountain's bordering on it and
visiting the sights in the neighbor
hood. Somehow in all these excursions
Ned Schuyler feil to me. Americans
meeting abroad often become intimate,
and there are more matches made
while traveling for pleasure than un
der any other conditions. At any rate,
such was the case with us: not that
we made a match, but we wanted to
make one. The reason we' failed was
the pride of the man. He had educat
ed himself, and it had made him inde
pendent. A wife with an income of
her own would not be a drag on him,
but he was too proud to ask a woman
to marry him while not able to sup
port her. It seemed to him like saying
to her. "Marry me' and spend your
own money."
We met at several places while
abroad, the persons I was with think
ing it to be by accident, but there was
no accident. AVe arranged meetings.
The" last of these meetings abroad was
at Genoa, from whence I sailed for
home. We lived in cities in America
not far distant from each other, and I
exacted a promise from him that he
wotdd come to see me after his return.
My lover set out on a tramp to Nice
the day before my steamer sailed. 1
was very disconsolate at having part
ed with him and while wandering
about the hotel took up the register
and turned the pages to the name he
had written in it. He had signed his
name Edward Gray Schuyler.
Something in the name was familiar

or-
to me, but I could not tell in what
part On the voyage I thought a good
deal about it. and one day it occurred
to me that 1 had confused the names
in my mind with those iu the papers
1 had found in the trunk at home.
There were Edward Ogiesby and Har
riet Gray, but no Schuyler.
The day after my arrival I got out
the tin box and selecting the envelope
marked Harriet Gray went through
every paper in it thoroughly. There
we're a number of them, but they were
mostly accounts;: checks that had been
paid and returned by the banks, tax
receipts, etc. The- only two names
that seemed to have any connection
with Ned Schuyler were the Edward
in Edward Ogiesby and the Gray in
Harriet Gray.
One morning while reading a news
paper I saw the following notice:
The handsome office building, No.
1 street, has been finished and is now
ready for occupancy. Occupants of other
buildings in the neighborhood are to be
congratulated, for the lot on which the
building has been erected remained va
cant for many years. It was formerly a
part of the Ogiesby estate, which at the
death of Edward Ogiesby fell into litiga
tions long delayed.
Here was the name, Edward Ogiesby,
staring me in the face again. I recall
ed that I had seen it iu the Harriet
Gray papers and determined to get
them out again and learn if this notice
had any connection with them. I read
the description of the last name in the
deed, and, while there was no number
given, the street was named and was
the same as that on, which the new
building was located.
Had I connected Ned Schuyler with
the matter I should have been eager to
learn more about "it As it was, not
knowing how to proceed for informa
tion, I did 'nothing for several days.
Then omj day 1 went to my lawyer's
office to pay some taxes, and while
there I concluded to mention my find
and ask how I could learn something
in the matter. My father had done
business through the firm for many
years, and it was now carried on by
Mr. Tucker, the grandson of the origi
nal head. After handing nim the funds
for the taxes I asked him if he knew
anything about the new building of
which I had read in the newspaper.
"I should think so," was his reply.
I inherited a suit about it for clients
of my father."
"Who was the owner, Edward Ogies
by, and what had my father to do with
him?" .
"Edward Ogiesby owned the lot on
which this building of 'which you speak
stands. He and your father were inti
mate friends and both my father's cli
ents."
"Who was Harriet Gray?"
"Mr. Oglesby's stepdaughter. Mr.
Ogiesby had no children of his own,
and it was supposed that he would
leave his property to her. But he died
intestate. She claimed that he had
left a will in her favor, but it was nev
er found. She declared that it had been
left by her stepfather iu our keeping,
but a careful search among our papers
failed to produce it. We had a great
deal of troubl? with the man she 'mar
ried, who would not believe but that
we had feloniously destroyed or with
held the will. Indeed, I think the
charge was indirectly the cause of my
father's death."
By tliis time I was suppressing a
wild excitement. I rushed to ask one
more question, but dreaded to do so.
fearing that I would be disappointed
in the reply. Finally I found voice to
spcakit.
;J"Whom did Harriet Gray marry?"
"Her husband's name, I believe, was
Schuyler." " '
The riddle was solved. Ned Schuyler
was the sou of Harriet Gray and took
a part of his name from Edward Ogies
by, his wife's stepfather, and part from
his mother's maiden .name. As soon
as I could gather my wits I went on
asking questions. My next was:
"Suppose a- will of Edward Ogiesby
leaving all his property to Harriet Gray
should be produced now. How would
it affect the property?"
"Her heirs would claim it, and in
the end undoubtedly the courts would
give it to them."
A happy girl I was when I went home
conscious that I had the key to a for
tune for the man I loved. He was to
arrive within a few days, and I re
solved to impart 'the finding of his
mother's will first of all persons to
him.
One week after his arrival he kept
his promise to come to see me. I could
scarcely wait to make inquiries con
firming my theory as to his Identity,
but when I did 1 was told by him that
his mother's maiden name was Har
riet Gray and her father was Henry
Schuyler. I had the will in a desk near
by and, taking it out, handed it to him.
.1 kept my "eyes fixed on his face
while he read the document, and it
was a study. Being an only child, he
saw at a glance that if the will were
genuine the right to the property de
scribed was vested in him.
When my find was reported to Mr.
Tucker and his astonishment had abat
ed I asked him how ' the will could
have got into my father's possession.
The only explanation he could give was
that the papers of the two clients had
got mixed in the affair and that these
papers belonging to Mr. Ogiesby had
been banded to my father. He had
doubtless put them away without look
ing at them.
Ned Schuyler effected a compromise
with those in possession of the estate
that was his by inheritance, and it
made him rich. He- was obliged to
give up a great deal in order to avoid
litigation, but even with this surrender
his estate was worth much more than
it had been when the will was made.
Since Ned was now fa?, richer than I
he no longer scrupled to ask me to be
his wife. Besides. it was I through
whose Instrumentality his property
came to him. .. ;
Monkeys and Tails.
Not being an authority on monkeys,
a visitor to the menagerie accosted a
keeper to ask why practically allthe
primates therein have short tails in
stead of the long ones that are always
conceded to simians, regardless of
the fact whether they are entitled to
them or not "Do you cut off all the
tails?" asked the visitor. "What for?"
replied the keeper. "Well, it seems to
me they are all docked." rejoined the
uninitiated one. "The difference is
this." said the attendant "The South
American monkeys have tails, and
those from the eastern hemisphere
baven't any. You can search me why'
It is, but I guess the other fellows got
tired of them." New York Tribune.

President of American League Says
Articles Under Diamond Stars' Names
Cause Trouble In the Ranks Most
of Them Are Fakes.
By TOMMY CLARK.
President Ban Johusou of the Amer
ican league undoubtedly took a lauda
tory step when he issued an" ultimatum
recently th;it all ball players- iu the
junior organization should itase writ
ing for newspapers over their mimes
Just how Mr. Johnson will enforce this
ruling is not quite nppureut if a strong
minded, hard headed player should in
sist" ou jontinuing as a pseudo scribe.
There is no doubt that such practices
cause many serious "grievances among
players, especially within a team
whose members are being criticised by
one of their number. It matters uot
that the player himself did uot peu the
critical sentences. The very fact that
he is credited with sucb strictures,
having his name put to the article. Is
sufficient to provoke serious differences
and dissensions among the players of
a team. And nine times out of ten
such effusions are impositions on the
public.
Of all. the players whose uauies are
appearing in public print as the ac
credited authors of weekly or daily
contributions we know of only two
who actually write their "stuff" them
selves. And even iu these instances it
might be said that their articles pass
under a rigid blue pencil process be
fore they appear-in public print
. The fact that the players do not ac
tually compose the articles they sign
is illustrated in the following yarn:
"Say. Tesieau. what do you mean by
bawling me out in your story this morn
ing for that play of yesterday?" a cer
tain member of the New Vork Giants is
said to have remarked to the big pitch
er after one of the world's series games
last fall
"Did I bawl you out?" asked Tesrean
in amazement "Well, I'll have to buy
a copy of this morning's paper and see
what I wrote."
And there's more truth than fiction in
the yarn.
Several newspapers already have
published a list of the ball player-au
thors and the nieu who actually wrote
their stories for them. The list shows
that Christy Mathewson and John Mc
Graw depend upon J N Wheeler, a
New York writer, to turn out their crit
icisms and anecdotes. During the
world's series last fall Wheeler also
wrote Jeff Tesreau's "stories." while
W. .1. McBeth suggested and executed
Chief Meyers themes. Rube Mar
quard's articles were produced by
W. S. Farnsworth. Walter Johnson's
screeds came from the pen of Ralph
MacMillan. a Boston sporting editor.
Cy Young's pieces were turned out by
Samuel Carrick Paul Shannon was
the author of Charley Wagner's effu
sions Bill Carrigan was looked after
by A. H C. Mitchell. Tim Murnane
wrote for Tris Speaker. Jim O'Leary
was the penman behind Joe Wood,
while Ty Cobb's descriptions and com
ments were written by Stony McGlynn
of Philadelphia.
In starting this crusade President
Johnson contends that the baseball pub
lic should not be deceived, that ball
players should not be allowed to criti
cise members of their teams and that
to avoid serious trouble in the shape of
internal dissension the entire practice
should be wiped out Johnson recently
declared that ball players were not
hired to "write" for newspapers, but to
devote their entire time to promoting
the welfare of their employers.

As a matter of fact, however, there are
Ore. and the word cften overlooked is
hybridous, meaning mongrel or of mix
efi sort.
Where can you place a few dollars
with the chance of winning larger prof
its? There is no easier money made
than there is in mining. Why do we
say we have'a mine? Because we
have our property developed, the
veins are of true fissure origin, there
are many in number and range in
width from four to seventeen feet;
are located from surface- to thirteen,
hundred feet in depth and all carry
values in payable quantities. What
more can you ask, as these are facts
and the property is located right
here at honie and owned by home
people.
Gentlemen, what more can we do
to prove to you that we have one of
the best investments for big returns
on the Pacific Coast? Our display of
ore is credited among mining men as
being the best on the coast. Call at
