The 'Baseball Score AGAIN we see the score in print. The good, old baseball score. With names and figures all in line As in the days of yore, For way down south, in Dixie land, The boys are doing stunts. Again connecting with the ball For liners, ilies and bunts. Of course the games now being played v Are not the real thing, Eecause the hero?o widely famed Are merely practicing. They're getting muscles into trim So they can freely play And training eyes so they can swat The balls that come their way. But just the same the practice score With eagerness we scan To get a line on playing skill And work of every man. We note with joy the wondrous catch, Sjrfft covering of ground, k ? d chuckle when one hits so hard / He goes the whole way round. ,r ?We look along the lines to seo The record each has made And note the letters which explain Position each has played. We analyze the pitchers' work And that of catchers, too, Concluding we have got a team That certainly will do. 'Tis thus anticipation whets Desire for real games. The time when rival teams will meet And strive to clinch their claims. But as we cannot speed that time, With patience we must pore Through stories of the stunts down south And scan the oractice score. ?Theodore H. boice in Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.

In "Horses Nine'' Sew ell Ford tells how a retired sea captain bought a horse. The story runs: As one who inspects an unfamiliar object Captain Bean looked dazedly at Barnacles. At the same time Barnacles inspected the captain. With head lowered to knee level, with ears cocked forward, nostrils snitiing and under lip twitching almost as if he meant to laugh. Barnacles eyed his prospective owner. Captain Bean squirmed under the ' gaze of Barnacles' big, calm eye for a moment, and then shifted his position. | "What in time does he waut anyway, Jed?" demanded the captain. "Wants to git acquainted, that's all. cap'n. Mighty '*nowin' hoss, he is. Xow, some bosses don't take notice of anything. Tho3''re jest naturally dumb, j Then asr'in vou'll find bosses that seem to know every blamed word you say. Them's the kind of hosses that's wuth bavin'." "S'pose he knows all the ropes, Jed?*' "I should say he did, cap'n. If there's anything that boss ain't done in bis day, I don't know what 'tis. Near's I can fiDd out lie's tried every kind of work, in or out of traces, that you could think of." "Must be some old by your tell," suggested the captain. "Sure his timbers are all sound?" "Dunno 'bout his timbers, cap'n, but as fer wind an' limb you won't iind a sounder boss of bis age in this county. Course I'm not sellin' him fer a fouryear-old." Again Captain Bean tried to look critically at the white horse, but once more he met that calm, curious gaze, and the attempt was hardly a success. However, the captain squinted solemnly over Barnacles' withers and remarked: "Yes. he has got some good lines, as you say. though you wouldn't hardly call him clipper built. Not much sheer for'ard an' a leetle too much aft. eh?" At this criticism Jed snorted mirth ran.i. "Oil, I s'pose lie's all right," quickly added the captain. "Fact is I ain't never paid much attention to horses, beiu' 0:1 the water so much. You're sure he'll mind his helm. Jed?" "Oh. he'll go where you p'int him." "Won't drag anchor, will he?" "Stand all day if you'll let him." "Well. Jed. I'm ready to sign articles, I guess." "Wanted.

The Now England Peddler and the Secret of His Success. "IVddlin's a great business. The secret of it is that you must do a trade, even if it hurts your principles, when there's a possible chance. I remember how I once managed with an old fellow who wouldn't hev noihin' to do with me. lie was so confident an' sure he warn't goin' to trade tin t I made up my mind he'd got to. "I've got wooden nutmegs, pocket sawmills.' says I.

I saw a pair of old boots, an' I said them was just what I wanted. 'What?' he says. 'D'ye buy old boots?' an' I said them was my partic-kler specialty. 'How much d'ye give?' he asks, an' I says, -Half a cent a pound, 's long as half cents is coined,' says I. He didn't take no heed of my meanin*. but begin to rummage round and git out three or four pair. They warn't 110 good to Newton, but I was startin' a trade. 'Now, hain't yer got some rags?' I says. Them was what I asked fer first, an' the old miser said he didn't hev none, but now. stirred up by the chanst of gittin' somethiu' fer his old boots, he brought out seventeen pound of rags. an' we cione a uris^ lui 01 nauiu u 1 tinware.

A vice president seated in solitary grandeur in the senate chamber, while the ceremony of a presidential inauguration to which he lias been invited as an honored guest is going 011 outside, surely presents a spectacle with an element of humor in it. 1-Yw persons know how near Theodore Roosevelt came to playing such a part on the 4th of March. 1001. The senate stickles so for minor details of etiquette that the most strenuous reformer would liardly venture to transgress its rules. and they require that a formal motion to adjourn shall be put before a day's session can come to au end. After his inauguration as vice president in the senate chamber Mr. Iioosevelt took the gavel and, when the routine business was finished, directed the sergeant at arms, as usual, to proceed with the ceremony of inaugurating Mr. McKinley as president. It was then in order for some senator to move an adjournment, but in the confusion nobody seemed to have his | wits about him. and the whole assemblage. including the senators, quitted the chamber for the east portico, where the oath was to be administered and the address delivered. In a few min+'>/-? vinn nvoculont fnmid himsolf alone, with a fair prospect of remaining so until the (lay's performances were over, but it chanced that Senator Hoitfeld missed his hat while passing through the corridor and came back to look for it. Face to face with the vice president, it occurred to the senator that something must be wrong, so with the utmost gravity he moved "that the senate do now adjourn." Mr. Roosevelt, with equal solemnity, put the motion, declared it carried and proceeded in Mr. Ilcitfeld's company to the place on the presidential stand which had been reserved for him.? Francis E.

AN ANSWER TO INQUIRIES. Numerous inquiries have recently been received at ihe New York and Philadelphia offices of the "Mercantile and Financial Times" asking for information as to the methods and business of the Storey Cotton r.o?n?ol Afflonu 1 f I fp ^UJLU ^.'?IU V, w uuao ^cueiui vuiuvn u>v in the Bourse Building, Philadelphia, as well as to the desirability and value of an investment made with this company. On several occasions in the past tl ere appeared in these columns extended and iavorable references to this company from the pen of our Philadelphia correspondent, and we have carelully watched the progress and operations ot the company in order to determine whether his commendation was justified by subsequent deveipments Justice to a vorthy corporation r? quires that we should extend the editorial endorsement 01 this paper to this company at the present time, and to say that ig has more than fulfilled every claim originally advanced in its behalf. It is only simply truth and ji-stice to say that tne management of the company is today entitled to the highest praise and commendation for the conscientious and straightforward manner in which they have carried out all of their obligations to those who have become identified with the enterp ise as investors, and we ere fully warranted in making the assertion that no financial or investment institution in the country can show a cleaner, more satisfactory or honorable record i t its liber al treatment of investors ana me puonu at large than the Store} Cotton Company. We are much gratified, of course, that the later development of 1he companj's business and its lair and equitable methods have justified the early predictions of our Philadelphia correspondent, and :t iequally a pleasure to add ;hat the compiny are today stronger and better able to carry out their obligations than at any time in the past We have the utmost confidence in the judgment and discretion of our Philadelphia correspondent, who ha3 been the regular representative of this psper in that city for more that a qaarter of a century past; and as he has been thoroughly conversant With the busineds of the Storey Cotton Company Irom i's incepton, &-> well as its plans and methods, its financial stability and tha hig-j character of its management, his unqualified endorsement of the same naturally carries great weight. Tbe record ot the Storey Cotton Company is one that can be assailed in no pari ticuJar whatever; its treatment ot its clients has always been eminently fair and just, and it has never made a promise that has not been fulfilled to the letter We can only emphasize the fact that an investment made with this company possesses every essential element of security anc niuneration, and we are confident that se who make such an investments will place their money in enterprise where every possible safeguard is thrown around the principal and where large earnings are assured beyond any reasonable doubt.
