Two players jump for bats and begin swinging them; the coachers, who have yelled only be cause It was their duty, suddenly be gin raging, screaming and pawing the dirt, and the manager, who has ap peared half asleep, makes a trumpet of his hands and leads his men, bawl ing loud orders and wild taunts. The spectators do not understand anything has happened. Other batters have had two balls called many times, and it looks the same to the spectator who is beyond the mysterious "break" sphere. In two more moments the players' bench is a madhouse, with twenty men shouting, screaming, or dering. moving. "Three balls!" and a iadian rushes out to the "deck." "Four balls!" and the spectators join the players in the demonstration. The madness is spreading. Crack-a base hit, a bunt, a wild throw; another base lilt, screams, shouts, Impreca tions, a roar of frantic applause, a final long fly. The manager reaches, for his glove, spits into It and says quietly. "Four runs-we've got 'em. The "break" is over, and the players' bench is again the quietest part of the grounds. The surge of enthusi asm, confidence and noise subsides. and the game is won. 1aseball is almost as much psycho logical as athletic. Why one team can beat a stronger one regularly and lose to a weaker with the same regularity, why one batter can hit one pitcher and is helpless before another, why one pitcher is effective against a strong team and at the mercy of an other that cannot bat half as hard, are psychological problems.-AmerIcan Magazine. FOUNDER OF THE G. A. R. Major Stephenson and the Memorial to Him Erected In Washington. President Taft put off his trip with his family to Beverly. Mass., in order to be present oil July 3 at the unveil il: of the lnuomunieut which has been erected In Washington to the memory of the founder of the Grand Army of the Republic. Major Benjamin F. Stephenson. The site of the monu Ient is a1 triangle, and near by is the herole statn&e of General Hancock. The three faced; monument bears four bronzv tablets.; The front hag the tab11et "-ra illnty.'. a soldier and s -Wor under the -a. "Charity" is repre sented y a woimn giving a eup of cold water to a child, who is under C THEl STE'PHENsoN MONU31ENT. her protecting cloak. "Loyalty" is rep r'esenlted by a1 w~oman of noble propor tions, who holds a sword In one hand and the great seal of the United States npon a shield in the other.i' The three words represent the motto of tihe Grand Army of the Iepub lie and of the WVoman's Relief corps. the auxiliary of the G. A. R., It is also the motto of the Ladies of the G. A. IR. ,Just below the bronze tablet "Frater niity" is a fine bas-relief of Major Stephenson ini uniform. The cost of the nionument was $:;5.000, the major portioni of which was raised by sub script ion, the remainder having beenm ap propria tedi by congress. General Louis Wagne-r of P'hiladelphia conduct ed the work of collecting the funds. The mieimorial is the work of the noted New York sculptor J. Massey Rthind. Th le origin of the G. A. R., dates bac-k to the p)eriod when north and south w-ere still engaged in struggle. Major Stephenson w~as born in Wayne county, ill., in 1822 and was a grad unate of Rush Medi-al college, Chicago. class of 1849-50. Upon the organiza tion1 'f the Fourteenth Illinois infan try May2-. 1861. Dr. Stephenson was elected its surgeon. Another man was imu.ter-ed into the position, though G-neral Stephenson had been unani mously elected by the officers and en listed meni of the regiment under the laiws of Ill'inois. Later' Dr. Stephenson was appointed regimental sur-geon of the reiment. and he was mustered in at Pittsburg Landinig April 7, 1802. He served his termn of three years and was mustered out Junie 24, 1864. The F'ourteenth Illinois was a part of toe Meridian expedition. In the long wtches of the nights, upon the march and in the bivouac Chaplain W. J. Rut ledge and Major Stephenison discussed tile fact that soldiers w~hen mustered out of service naturally desire some as sociation to p)reserv-e friendships and memories of comm:on.trials and dan gei-s. As they talked together theIr thoughots expanded into the widest lls of conjetuire as to the capacity for good in such an organizationi of vete-ranls, and they agreed that if they wer'e spar'ed they would together work ouit somre such project. It was in this way that the order which has since come to be such a notent one arose. SCHOOL'S_GOOD ANGEL J. W. Harriman Aids Old "Prep' Institution With $150,000. SOUGHT TO HIDE HIS GIFTS New Yorker Revealed as Mysteriout Donor to the Cheshire School Ir Connecticut-J. P. Morgan Wa Trained There-His Pranks Recalled Mr. Harriman's Peculiar Experience Many a millionaire has remembered his college alma mater in substainti:i endowments, but It remained f,r Jo seph W. Harriman of New York vity to remember his "prep" school with several thousands. For months it has been a nys,ry where Cheshire schoo!. the Episco:1:l academy of Connecticut. was reeiv ing the large amounts expended en new buildings and in renovation of structures standing since its fou.:a tion in 1794-an amount upward of $150,000. It was learned the other day that the entire sum was from Mr. llarri man, who entered the school at the age of nine and left in 1880. A reporter taxed him with it at his oiice. "I guess I'll have to admit that I am the 'angel,'" he said, "although I hoped to keep in the background. I know bow much I owe to the training I had in that dear old fashioned 'prep' when my father took me there years ago, a motherless 'kiddie.'' A natural next question was why Mr. E[arriman had taken the unusual course of looking after the welfare of his preparatory school instead of his college. "I found they were drifting because they lacked funds and equipment." said Mr. IIarriman. who is a nephew of Edward 11. fIarriman. "It seemed to me that a school that prepared for college men like J. I'lerpont Morgan. General Alexander Perry. the late General Joe Wheeler, James B. Dill. Bishop Lines, Ernest Flagg. Dr. IIol brook Curtiss, Dr. William G. Vibbert. Clinton Peters and C. La Mue Munson should not be permitted to go to de cay. I never gave any money that brought more satisfaction than seeing the old school re-established, and I guess they know I propose to see the thing through." "Joe" 11arriman, as he is known tmong the Cheshire alumri. j.st as Mr. Morgan is known as "Ponty." had a peculiar experience at the school. ie was taken in after his mother's death at an age several years below the minimum. There was one other "haby" there-C!inton Peters, the artist. who has since ben honored by the acad emy in Paris and who has a studio in New York. The older boys would not play with them, and Peters and Harriman had to make their own amusement. They became chums, only to drift apart when Peters was sent abroad to study. They discovered each other a few ears ago, and out of the reunion camne a renewed interest in the old school. hey went to Cheshire. and Mir. HIar iman's decision to rehabilitate the In titution was made onI tihe spot. A few days ago they returned to cele rate the one hundred and fifteenth ommencement of the institution. here were 300 of the old boys in at endance. The most notable event was the re urn of the old bell which had served n a Spanish miission andl had beeu eized in Connecticut fronm a Spanish essel. The school got a ntew bell in 180 when Trinity coilege, at IIart ford, was being improv-ed, and the old elt was given to a church at B:':an ford, Conn. Thence It went to another hurch at Southington. Herbert I) loyd, treasurer of the school, traced he bell, and WX'iliam C. lie'gerest of he class of '75 provided the funds for ts recovery. A number of stories about 3Mr. Mor an's schooldays were retold at the ommencement. iIe was alt in his tudies. bunt he had a knarIginal trouble for he:nd manster's anad heir assistants. One night M 'organ tarted a big round store r-ol!ing dvown a stairway a tutor was mounatingI. No' oe "squealed," and as a1 resuti the' whole school wans put "en puni iuett." -New York Amnericani.

He was afraid afraid of snakes: Nice. effichint. help ful boy to take into trop)ical forests. wasn't he? "It was insubordination before the expedition had even started. So 1 uffed lm and handed him my hunt ng kenife. 'Bring down that flower and also the snake's head.' I ordered and, whining, trembling, he went ul the trunk. He was detaching the or chid from where it clung when a thing like a spear, as black as his owr skin, suddenly struck at the boy'4 wrist. He screamed with terror and toppling down, writhed with pain.

When the guides cut it open they stooped and dreu things out-the bones and the cottol clothes of the guide this cannibal rep tile had swallowed. The very knot was still in his sarong. Oh. don't squirm! This is orchid hunting. "We had three guides left at the end of the second month. when, pad dling along one day where the vines otreached and let snaky tendrils dra-gle down. we came to a fifty yard clearing.

MILLIONS OF BOOKS LIBRARY OF CONGRESS A STORE. HOUSE OF KNOWLEDGE. Greatest in World with Exception of British Museum-Fascinating Spot for Visitors to Na tion's Capital. The library of congress is the most fascinating spot in the United States for tourists. More than 1,000,000 peo lile visit it annually. The vast ma, jority of these are only sight-seers, but thousands come seeking informa, tion, for this institution has grown un til it has come to be the greatest storehouse of knowledge in the world with the exception of the British mu seum. Everything that has ever been printed on any subject may be found there. It is an institution of which the whole country should be proud, and evidently is proud. The national capital makes comparatively smal use of the library, 'for it has its own public library-one of the most com plete in the country-from . which books may be taken. While congress treats the library with liberality, it does not treat it as liberally as Great Britain treats the British museum. It Is the ambition of Herbert Putnam, the librarian of con gress, to make the American library as great an institution as the British museum. 'Such eminence can only be reached," says he, "provided the general outlay, shall as in the case of the 1iritiEh museum, be supplemented by individuals. Local institutions have the first claim to private contri bution for land, for buildings, for the material for popular education. But the national library should have the first claim with any citizen of the United States who owns material of Interest to the highest scholarship, particularly if it relate to the origin and progress of this country." There is one division of the 'library wl'ich is distinct in character and has no parallel In other libraries. This is the copyright office. It is under a reg ister of copyrights who, under the di rection of the librarian, performs, with a special force, all the duties relating ro copyrights. The nu.nber of entries, and with them the volume of the copyright business in general, grows at the rate of ten per cent, a year. The copyright office earns a revenue to the government. It is the privilege of the library proper to make requisi tion upon the copyright office for any copyrighted material which may be useful to its purpose as a library. What it does not draw remains in the files of the copyright office in a die tinct portion of the building. The material ini the special divisions of the library is preserved and handled according to its special needs. For the manuscripts there are not merely specially locke't cases, but steel safes for the collection, which, while not a large one, includes ma terial of inestimable value. The col lection of the Marquis De Rocham beau, for instance, including 300 man uscript maps of the revolution; the papers of Paul Jones, in 12 volumes; the records of the Virginia company, from 1621 to 1682; the journal of Washington on the Braddock expedi tion, his diary of the federal conven tion, his orderly books and military journals, and various other manu 'cripts, including the original mate rialfor the Force archives, in 365 folio volumes. Among other manuscripts of special note are 36 volumes record ing the testimony as to royalist claims, taken before the commission ers at Halifax, after the revolgtf on. With a few exceptions,- thee entire collection relates to the eighteenth century. A great many of the indi vidual manuscripts, being frayed and delicate, have to be repaii'ed and re enforced. Two repairers are constant ly at work j~n"hese. The material used ip.chiefly crepeline, a transpar ent sdik, which i pasted over the face ef the manuscript, front and back, stifffning and protecting, without ob scu1jn It. About Some Personages In-Prit T3HE successor of John G. Capers as United States commissioner of in ternal revenue is R. C. Cabell, a New York man. The de partment of internal revenue is in the ju risdiction of the see . . retary of the treas UrY. Its importance may be increased in case of the passage I. C. CABB. ' of a law taxing cor porations, as it has been proposed to place the duty of col lecting such a tax upon the internal revenue commissioner and his as sistants. Commissiober Cabell Is a son of a noted army officer and was himself in the army, serving as an inspector gen eral and on other duty during the Spanish war. Miss Katherine Elkins, whose affair with the Duke of the Abruzzi attract ed so much attention awhile ago, finds it very difficult now to keep out of print. When she sailed for Europe a short time since she took every precau tion to avoid publicity on the trip, but to no purpose. Although her name and that of her mother were kept off the passenger list, those on board the Lap land, on which she sailed from New York for Antwerp, were soon aware of her identity. They evinced consider able curiosity regarding the relations existing between her and Mr. William Hitt, son of the late Congressman Hitt of Illinois. It has more than once been rumored that young Mr. Hitt stood higher in Miss Elkins' affections than the Italian nobleman, who is now In the Himalayas nursing the wounds to his heart and trying to forget his American romance In the wild life of the highest mountains of the world. On the way across the Atlantic Mr. Hitt was so devoted to Miss Elkins that fellow passengers were convinced rsS HERmn(E LI.N there must be an engagement between them. On the other hand, some ad vanced the theory that Miss Elkins' be havior to Mr. Bitt was only a Wgind intended ., uistract attention from real plans to meet her royal admirer some where in Europe. She was dressed very simply on board and seemed In the best of health and spirits. She took with her to Europe her own mfo torcar and an American chauffeur to run it for her in trips a,bout the coun tries she will visit in her journeyings across the water.4 When Napoleon was the enforced guest of England at St. Helena a his torian wrote that If the long surtout and hat of the exile should be placed on a stick anywhere in England the people of that nation would be fright ened into the sea. What is there in the castoff garment, or one that has not been cast off, for that matter, of a man who has at some time been a power that scares or enthuses, accord ing to the point of . vIew? When young C ar t er Harrison was mayor of Chi eago four terms he wore when in the street a brown fe dora shaped hat. It became as familiar as the black slouch cAE'rER HARRISON. which the elder Carter wore when he was mayor and when he was a menm ber of congress. Ever since young Carter quit being mayor there has been contention in his party over the prospect of his again becoming a candi date. When he returned recently from a protracted visit in California talk was revived that he had come back to make another run for the mayoralty. He was wearing a black hat when he returned. This was taken as an indi cation that he would not be a candi date again. Other., however, said that the old brown fedora was in storage and that it would be brought out in time. .One would think that a great city like Chicago had enough to do without getting nervous over an old . hat. But the whole town-that is, as much of the town as is Interested In politics-Ia on the qui vive over theabat -- - -e
