American League Formulating Its Plana of Sale For Next Season. CHICAGO;; Oct. .13,-Salcs of baseball tickets for f future world's series direct from the National Com misiiion to the public probably will be the outcome of the method of sell ing tickets to the combats now being waged. : ;v, ' - .. Letters from disgruntled enthusiasts poured into newspaper offices yester day,, all with the same tale of being unable to buy reserved scat tockets from the club box office, but of being offered the coveted pasteboards at a premium from scalpers before the public sale began. The result has been an estimated attendance of 15, . 000 for the two . games played in Chicago and an estimated lost In re ceipts of $25,000, the bulk of which would have gone to the players. Many of the protests from fans went direct to the three members of the national commission, Carry Herr mann, Ban Johnson and Harry Pull iam. Then when a person high In authority and familiar with every de tail of the arrangements reported to the commission that the count of tickets and receipts tf Sunday's game had been delayed nearly an hour until 885 reserved seat coupons, which had been "on sale" could be gathered to gether, returned and credit given to the local club, the members of the commission decided somebody was to blame, and the only way to pre vent a repetition of suspicions and charges of unfairness would be to undertake the stupendous task thenv Anothcr Wretched Case From Chi cago Being Dealt With. CHICAGO, Oct. 13. Addiliona! information tending to the identifica tion of James l.uman C. Mann as the mysterious "J. II; Raymond," who took Fanny Gilmore Thompson to the Michigan Avenue rooming house where the woman later was found brutally murdered was secured yes' terday, but nothing approaching .con fession was gained. Today, it is said, the' police will go before the October grand jury and present evidence to secure the in dictment of Mann for the crime. The grand jury will be made for the pur pose of circumventing Attorney C. E. Erbstcin, who represents the al-. leged murderer and who forced the police to fix Mann's bond at $25,000. An effort was made last night to obtain the release of Mann before Municipal Judge Gemmill, but the effort failed because of the inability of Mann's parents and the attorney to furnish sufficient value of bonds. Erbstein told the police that if Mann-was not admitted to bail he would apply for a1 writ of habeas corpus and thereby force the police to take into court the evidence they have that warrants holding him in custody; In 'this manner he would learn the strength or weakness of their evidence. Rather than make known their wit nesses and the evidence they have collected, Inspector Wheeler and State's Attorney Roe consented to have the bail fixed. '., A MICr.OSCOPE.

A Nature Story by One of tho Mount Taurus Cllmbors. The mountaineer glanced compla cently at bis bard calves. "We climbers," be said, "up there on the white heights see lots of things worth seeing. I tell yon we could if we wanted to outdo tbe nature fakirs without deviating from tbe truth. FoV instance, take tbe Mount Taurus cranes. Do you know the cranes of Mount Taurus? 1 1 ; t, j , -it "Well, these birds are great chatter ers. They chatter, chatter, chatter, as they fly. Hanged If they're not worse tban women! Up on the heights tbe eagles lie In wait for thcia, bidden be hind crags or ice blocks. They don't have to show themselves at all. Their ears, not their eyes, tell them of the cranes' approach, and, swooping down on those bundles of feathers and noise. they take borne a mess of crane for dinner. "With their cuatter and babble and gossip' the cranes of Mount Taurus give themselves away In tbat still air to the eagles, and In all eagle house holds crane Is tbe staple dish. ' "But the old cranes fly without a sound never a word out of them as they sail and wheel In the blue air. That seems against nature, and it Is against nature. The old cranes to re strain their innate love of talk fly with largo stones In their mouths. ' "Shoot on of these crafty and silent birds and you will find his beak tight ly closed coon a large stone." Ex change. " " ' i " 'V 'i.-7,-.,i . ." ; 111 " . - - His Plan Was 8ImpU.? - " . Frederick, the Great once requested his generals to submit to him plans of campaign for a supposititious case. Hans Joachim von Zlethen, the famous cavalry general, produced a queer dia gram in black Ink. , It represented a big blot In the center, Intersected by two black lines, whose four terminals ended each in a Smaller blot The king was furious and upbraided his old com rade in arms bitteny for what he con sidered disrespect In explanation Von Zlethen said: "Why, your majesty, I am the large blot In the center. The enemy is any one of the four smaller blots. lie can march upon me from the right or left from tbe front or rear. If be does I simply advance upon any of the four lines and lick him where I find him." Frederick was satisfied. Statistics. In all probability tbe first administra tive act of the first regular government Was to number Its fighting men and to ascertain as nearly as was possible what amount of taxation could be levied on the rest of the community. As human society grew more highly organized there can be no doubt that a very considerable body of official sta tistics must hate come into existence. We know that such was the case In Greece, Rome and Egypt but it , was not until within the last two or three centuries that systematic use of the in formation available began for purposes of Investigation rather than mere ad ministration. New York American. Businesslike England. Tho English aro not a revengeful people. They forget everything after a fight in their eagerness to trade with their late enemy. It is not so much the spirit of forgiveness of sins which prompts them as the spirit of pushing trade. That Is the central impulse In their being. Dublin Irish Homestead: 1 Whers He Was Slow.'

NsarsighUd Man Wr Glasses In Talking, but Not In Reading, "Here's a sort of queer thing." said a nearsighted man. "1 am very near sighted. Strong glasses are indispen sable to me for ordinary, general see ing in my goings about but when I sit down to read I take off my glasses and bring tbe print up to within the natural focus of the eye. It seems to me. that reading with the natural eye I read with a more Intimate and a clearer understanding. , "So much for my reading without spectacles, and now here is the thing that Is queer to me. If when I am reading thus, with my glasses off, somebody comes along to speak to me, why, then, to get a clear understanding of that question I must have on my spectacles. "So I say, or I would say if this hap pened at home where I know the peo ple, 'Walt a minute till I get on my spectacles,' and I would put them on and then say, ,'Now go ahead,' and really, with my spectacles on, with f iy power of eeelng at its best, with be sharpest definition of things in general to the eye, I get the clearest apprehension of things sal to me. i"So in reading I do best with my glasses off, but in understanding things said to me, in listening, I do best with my glasses on, , There is one modiaca tion to this where there is no light as In a dark room, where I can't see, I can nnderstand equally well with or Without glasses."
