a umpire was blessed,

,ashould be, and altogether about as
-thing as ever was seen on the bal
The umpire's eyes were as blue as
e Sunny skies of Italy, and there Was a
, of peachy -pink cheeks under the eyes, an
s a delicate little nose, piquantly; celestial in
a its 'inclination; strawberry lips, and teeth
whiter than the cover of a brand-new ball.
And there wasn't a man in the game who
• would have disputed the umpire's decision
for any honor known to the glorious
national pastime. There wasn't one of
them who wasn't glad to get out just to
. hear the delicious ripple of that musical
voice as it said;
"Striker out."
And why was all this? Ear Walter Scott
remarks in "Kenilworth:" 41A.11 for a little
pink and white—and so falls ambition."
The umpire's name was Eulalie, and what
Butane did not know about the League
rules was what had not been written. The
boys—they were college boys and coaled
themselves men, striving by. frequent use of
the razor to make good thew claim to the
lordly•title--the boys all swore by her. And
• even when just a few of them went out for

would have their fair umpire out to see the
thing done properly. Once Harry had sent

young pitcher came pretty near being mob.
bed might then and there. But the umpire
calmly stopped, picked up the ball and
.threw it back to the pitcher, saying :
'1 One ball."
And then the boys all cheered the umpire
:.and vowed that she was as plucky as she
was beautiful, and they would all have
:fallen down and worshipped her' imme-
• diately had they not known that she could
•lae as severely satirical to worshippers as
:she was plucky. Pretty soon. father came
• out in his comfortable white flannels, and,
lying down in the shade, watcheol the
.game. Father was a fine specimen of
manhood, and though he was in his 50th
year, hecould play a fine game of tennis,
and kill twenty-eight out of thirty birds at
the trap every day.
"1 say, you boys," called father, "what
kind of a game is this you're playing ? "
"Baseball, of course," replied Johnny,
with an indescribable sneer at his sire's
ignorance.
Johnny was only 14 and he knew it all.
He was sure he could pitch better'than
Harry, who was 20 and on the 'Varsity
nine, and catch all around George, who
was 19, a freshman, and one of the best all-
round players in college.
Baseball, eh?" said father. "Well, yon
don't play it as we used to twenty-five years
ago."
"Well, I should hope not," was the
reply.
"Say, pop," called Frankie, who was
standing like patience on a monument at
first base, "why don't you pull off your
coat and take a hack at it?"
"You irreverent youngbeggar," respond-
ed "pop," half laughing, " I'll come over
there and take a hack at you." '
"No, no," was the general chorus;
" come and play."
"Como, father," said the umpire' " now's
your time to show the boys whata man
knows about baseball."
The covert taunt of the beautiful wretch
was too much for father. He arose and
pulled off his cost, displaying a superb
torso that his loose flannel shirt could not
hide, and strode into the field.
" Here, pop," cried Albert, " take my
place at short, and you'll soon get up to
etcher."
Father accepted the generous offer, and
braced himself to gather in the wayward
grounder. Peter . was at the bat, and he
gazed upon father with an evil eye. Harry
sent in a "corker," and Peter got one strike.
" What makes you pitch so hard, Harry ?"
said father ; " he can't hit it."
Don't want him to," said Harry,
what do you suppose I'm pitching for but
to get him out ?"
Oh, he must hit it," said father, impa-
tiently ; " that's no way to play. Why, I
remember when the Skoveltegans beat the
Jetemias 97 to 42. That was a game for
you—none of your 1 to 0 business in those
days."
" See here, father," asked Johimy, "when
the men chased one another around the
'bases that way, how could you tell the
difference- between a game of ball and a
six days' goms-you-please ?"
The roarof laughter silenced father, who
contented himself with shaking his fist at
Johnny. Just then Peter got one just
where he wanted it, and he hit a grounder
to father. The veteran stooped down and
gathered it in in great shape, while the
boys cheered and applauded.
"Now we've got him, pop ! Let her
come hot 1" screamed Frankie, dancing a
wild can -can on first.
But father had his eye on Peter, who
was running toward first, and with all the
accuraey of a crack wing shot, be let the
ball drive, and caught the unhappy Peter
on the small ribs Just as he was nearing
the base. The general clamor which fol-
lowed astounded. father.
"What are you doing? Who are you
hitting? What sort of a way is that?
"Not out 1 " shouted theumpire's silvery
voice, as Peter sat down on first base, and
searched the heaven's for his lost breath.
"Not out? What do you mean ? " said
father.
The situation was explained to him, and
the nature of the new rule made plain.
Father was disappointed. He wanted to
hit some one. That was the way he used
to play. But he resigned himself to his
fate. The game proceeded, and father
soon found himself on first base, while the
irreverent Johnny was at short. Then the
baternalabit to Johnny, and that nimble
youth " scooped in " the ball ana,hurled it
to first. But father had by this time
rambled back into thepast ana was expect-
ing to see Johnny " peg" the man running
to first. The result was that `the ball
struolt father fairly plat above the belt and
doubled him up like a two.foot rule.
J'olinny looked tether white, While the
umpire rushed to first base with a great
flutteaing of white Minimal, and kneeling
betide her prostrate sire, murmured :
" Are you hurt, papa darling?"
Father sat up and rubbedlais eyes, gariped
a
few times and then said:

a hat curve?" •
The curve on the ball."
a Nonsense! The ball can't curve."
Then there was another pause for half
an hour, while the theory of curved pitch-
ing was explained to father. And when he
finally went into bat he thought be knew
all about it. When hia turn came to strike,
Johnny had come up to pitcher, and that
wily youngster had reore curves and
shoots and dodges then he had fingers. So
when he pitched an out -curve and father
fanned the air, he laughed a demoniac
laugh. Father smiled. He saw the curve
and prepared to meet it on the next ball.
But the villainous Johnny pitched an
in -shoot, and when father reached for the
expected out -curve he got a whack on the
left wrist that made him drop the bat with
an exclamatien that quite shocked the
umpire.
" Give father an easy one," pleaded :the
umpire; don't be so men."
" Conae off,"aasid the irreverent Johnny,
sending in a rising in -curve, on which
father quite threw himself away.
But the veteran was full of courage, and
there was an exultant feminine shriek as
he hammered the next ball for a base.hit
between short and second.
"Bun, papa, run !" screamed theumpire,
clapping her hands; you're not half going!"
But father made his first, and smiled a
smile of benign triumph on the assembly.
"Now, father," said Albert, "take plenty
of ground and go tO, pecond as soon as he
pitches; George can't throw straight to
second."
"Take ground? What ground ?"
" Time, ' called Albert ; and he explained
his meaning to father.
The veteran got to second and stood
there puffing, but happy. Then the bats-
man hit to the third baseman, who half
stopped the ball, allowing it to roll behind
him. He rushed after it, while Johnny ran
from the box to third, yelling:
"Here with. it Here with it 2 We've
got pap now."
Father was running from second as fast
as he could.
"Slide, papa, slide," shrieked the um-
pire.
And father, confused by the various cries,
tried to slide as if he were on ice. The result
wtis that he tripped and pitched headlong
over the third base just as Johnny, having
sprung high in the air to catch the ball,
came down with all his weight on the mid-
dle of hioo father's back, and hit him on the
neck with the ball. The prostrate forms
rolled over and over in a dire struggle,
which raised a oloud of dust, hiding them
from sight.
" Not out 1 Not out !" screamed the
umpire in trembling tones, vainly endeavor-
ing to see what the cloud concealed.
Presently expostulations and then cries
unmistakably emanating from Johnny
came out of the oloud, which slowly floated
away revealing father sitting on third base.

i‘Conatantly Mawking and Spitting",
THOMAS J. RUSIIING, Esq., MI Pine Street,
St. Louis, Mo., writes: "I wrisa great sufferer
from catarrh for three years. At times I could
hardly breathe, and was constantly hawking
and spitting, and for the last eight months
could not breathe through the nostrils. I
thought nothing could be done for me. Luck-
ily, I was advised to try Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, and I am now a well man. I believe
it to be the only sure remedy for catarrh now
manufactured, and one has only to give it it
fair trial to experience astounding results and
a permanent cure.'
Three Bottles Cure Catarrh.
Ela ROBBINS, Ibinuan P. O., Co/turibia
Pa., says: "My daughter bad catarrh when
she was five years old, very badly. I saw Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy advertised, and pro-
cured a bottle for her, and soon saw that it
helped her; a third bottle °fleeted a perma-
nent cure. She is now eighteen years old and,
S ound and hearty."
