Uncle Joe's" Father Was a Country Doctor?Oath Killed Grass. (Alfred Henry Lewis, in New York American. Mr. Cannon's father was a countrv doctor. His region was scandalously salubrious. When the health of the neighborhood become more than he could bear he was wont to cut an armful of beech switches and?for the wan leanness of his purse?go to teaching district school. When our Mr. Cannon had touched the age of four. Cannon pere, think? ing that in the fever and ague inci? dent to a new country he might find pocketbook relief, loaded his house? hold into a prairie-schooner and pointed lor the setting sun. The Cannon pilgrimage ended in Indiana. Who said that Indiana was settled by folk who started for the West but lost their ner\e? In later years while in Indiana, Mr. Cannon in 18 months became a lawyer. Then he got married; and because the girl he led altarward was not a Quaker the elders of .hat ex? acting sect found grievous fault. In the fiery blush of honeymoon, Mr. Cannon repulsed those elders; and, although not then that past master of profanity he has since be? come, there's neighborhood word that his language on that blasting occasion killed ten acres of grass. The horrified elders fled, and by way of retort cast the vituperative Mr. Cannon out of the fold. With that Mr. Cannon abandoned Indiana for Illinois, his new wife, tucked under his arm.

A frequent and effective speaker upon the platform of Canadian Asso? ciations has been the Hon. J. M. Gib? son, Liuetenant-Governor of Canada. He has said, in speaking of the work for boys: "The boys of twelve to eighteen? the period when the Young Men's Christian Association reaches them? are the material out of which the men are made. During those years there is more man-making than during all the rest of life. It is the all impor? tant and critical period. Either good men or indifferent men are the result. Before the boy drifts from this period of transition, muscles form, habits form, everything forms. Bad habits are the result of bad surroundings. Licentious if not criminal habits usually follow the breathing of an at? mosphere that is corrupt. The Young Men's Christian Association does not ask the boys to turn from the or? dinary enjoyments of young fellows, but encourages them to train their muscles; to be rough-and-tumble boys at the proper time and occasion. Con? tinuous attention is as necessary to the physical life as it is to the men? tal, moral and spiritual sides. Boys are here taught to wrestle with diffi? culties, to meet them squarely and I conquer them, and with the habit of conquering difficulties, a man may go into life with confidence. It is from such boys, brought into, and train I ed in the Association, that this great country may expect to get men for the management of its affairs, and j the working out of the destiny of our great empire." A RAILROAD'S BEST INVEST? MENT OF MONEY. President Brown of the New York Central Lines on the Best Insurance he has found for guaranteeing the efficient handling of a railroad and the safety of a traveling public. "I supposed that I knew something of the length and breadth and scope of the work of the Young Men's Christian Association, but on hearing its latest reports I find I had no con? ception whatever of its work. No man may learn of those far-reaching activities without having a deeper and more abiding faith in the Association and the future of this great country. "I do not believe that any moneys that a railroad can appropriate for any purposes pay so large a return for the amount invested as those made for the establishment of rail? road branches. The human equation more than automatic appliances is the determinating factor between safety and danger in railroad opera? tion. I have doubt if there is any other insurance possible for having the man on the engine, the man at the switch, the man at the telegraph key and the man at the signal in the best shape possible for performing the duties that devolve upon him, which can compare with that afford? ed him by the Young Men's Christian Association Railroad Deparment. The Association with its quiet rooms, its wholesome meals, its baths, its lib? raries and gymnasiums offers a home to our homeless men who must other? wise depend upon boarding houses or hotels with saloon attachments for a place to eat and sleep?a place where every Influence Is elevating and the surroundings are calculated to make them better as well as safer and more efficient employees. "In my opinion the railroad com? pany that has failed to provide its employees with this alternative to the saloon hotel is neglecting a duty it owes to its employees, the public and the shareholders. "During the recent disastrous de? pression, while we had empty freight cars by the mile and every possible economy was resorted to on our roads, not a dollar was taken from the appropriation for Association support. I am glad that almost every important terminal on the lines with which I am connected is provided with an institution of this kind. And 1 am not unmindful of the Associa? tion's religious, educational Warnt spir? itual influences, the leaven which is gradually but surely growing in evi I dence in the great body of railroad men." Our boys won from St. Mattthews Monday, afternoon, by the score of 3 to 1. Phelps, of Sumter, hit a home run, and brought in two men.
