It RutM en the Player* ths Captata
Was Training.
la an article on baseball training
camps Hugh S. Fullerton, in the
American Magazine, recounts the fol-
! lowing joke played on "Cap" Auson,
the leader of the famous old White
; Stockings, during a training season
i some years ago:
"Anson was one of the most tireless
runners in the world, and training
j under him was a nightmare to his
i players. Anse would drive his men
' for three hours in practice, then lead
i them in long runs, placing himself at |
the head of the procession and setting i
; a steady, jogging pace. If he felt well I
; the morning training was a Marathon j
! route. I have seen players resort to I
Mil kinds of tricks to avoid those kill-
j Ing runs.
"One afternoon in New Orleans
; years ago Anson ordered ten laps
j around the field after practice, which
on the old grounds was nearly ten
; miles The afternoon was hot. one
of those wilting southern spring days
that sap the life out of men fresh from
! the rigors of a northern winter. The
i players fell into line, grumbling and
I scowling. Hack of left field a high
hoard fence separated the ball grounds
I from one of the old cemeteries, and
near the foul line a board was off the
fence. The !irst time the panting ath-
letes passed the hole in the fence
Dahlen gave a quirk glance to see if
Anson was looking and dived head
first through the gap into the ceme- ,
rery. The others continued on around
the lot, but on the second round Lange,
Ryan, Kittridge and Decker dived after j
Dahlen and joined him in the ceme- j
tery. The third trip saw the line dwin- 1
die to four followers, with Anson still <
leading. The fourth found only Anson j
and poor Bill Schriver, who had the
bad luck to be directly behind his cap- j
tain, plodding on, and on the next trip { 385^State of Oklahoma vs J C Stewart
Schriver made the leap for life.

Ambassador to Italy.
"Majestically alone, Anson tolled on,
while the onlookers writhed with de-
light. Perhaps their behavior aroused
suspicion or the absence of following
footsteps attracted 'Cap's' attention.
He stopped, looked at the vacant field;
a grim grin overspread his red face,
and he resumed the jogging. Straight
to that fence he plodded, and, sticking
his head through the hole, he beheld
his team leaning against the above
ground tombs, smoking and laughing.
Just for that he marshaled them into ,
line again and, sitting in the stand, ;
watched them grimly until every man ,
had completed ten rounds."

The Orang Outang.
It is a most interesting sight to
watch an orang outang make its way
through the jungle. it walks slowly
along the larger branches in u semi
erect attitude, this being apparently
■ .-used by the length of Its arms and
the shortness of its legs. It invariably
selects those branches which intermin-
gle with those of a neighboring tree,
■•ti approaching which it stretches out
Its lone arms and. grasping the boughs
opposite, seems lirst to shake them as
if to test their strength and then de
itself across to the

MAN'S THREE DUTIES.
A Good Hu-.band, a Good Father and
a Good Neighbor.
I have made a code for my own gtiid
' an< e which may interest you. I hold
! that a man's tirst duty is to be a «'>•>''
1 husband, which implies, of course, that
| he ought to uiarr.\ and then make his
I wife l elieve. if he can. that she has
'been the most fortunate of women.
1 It isn't easy—but. my. how it pays!
He must lie lover, husband, son and
even father by turns and occasionally
Just nolxaly-lie must get clear o(T the
earth But when he comes back
A man's second duty is to be a g< si
father, which implies, of course, that
he ought to have children -adopted, if
' necessary He oticht to lie to them
the standard by which all other iik-i
are measured and found wanting, be
] cause he |s their da<ldv and they lore
him
A man's third duty is to tie a go<Hl
! neighbor, to carry Ills share, no matter
| how small or how great ,i niav tie. of
I the community's worthy enterprises.
' to share the sorrows and the joys of
those around tiirn. to make hi* home
: a real asset to his community.
