of discourtesy, 13tit serictusly,` I lied
never had such a silly 0:legion put to'
me. Silly' it was worse than silly;
it was embarrassing, it was dishonour-
ing, it was ineelting. And, moreover,
there was no answer to it, As well
ask me my notion of an ideal Circle.'
There is no ideal circle,:because all
circles are ideal and must be so else
they are not circles. Circles are round,
must be round, Baseball Umpires
must be around when a game is on,
else they are not Umpires, And assum-
edly not ideal Umpires, I can say this
much of them, nevertheless, Baseball
Umpires are so real, that they :cannot
be ideal, They are the realist things
anyone can have any idea of. The
players in the game know this, and the
spectators are very soon convinced of
their stern and austere reality. Bow-
eyerl do know a thing or two about
umpires. I know, for instance, that
they are born not made, .No power on
earth could make an -Umpire, or con-
ceivably wish to make one. Their ex-
istence, of course, cannot, be denied.
They exist, but they never grow any
older, or in any way change, They re-
main static, the same, yesterday, today
and forever. They are all alike, yet
no two• of them resemble each other.
They dress alike, and they never de-
thur from a certain way of behaviour.
No one of them ever does anything
that you wouldn't expect all of them to
do. They are usually pretty dumb, be,
Cause their vocabulary is strictly lim-
ited. Their talk is dome by arms and
hMids, by gestures of these organs ve-
hemently indulged in and from which
there is absolutely no-appeal, I could
further elaborate, but what's the use,
You all know these birds. They are
part of the 'game. They may abuse the
players sometimes, but they always
amuse the spectators. They are a nee.

To Editor,
Wingham Advance-Times.
I was once asked the question
"What is your notion of an Ideal
Baseball Umpire." I said to my girl
inquisitor. Do you expect an ans-
wer right off the bat, or do you want
me to do time and think up a suitable
and serviceable reply? You are usually
pretty quick on the trigger, she ex-
torted. I admit that, I said, •but al-
though you ought to be shot for ask-
ing of me such a question, I will re-
press my sense of justice, and you
shall go scot free, provided you exe-
cute a rapid departure. She executed
accordingly leaving me all alone with
a perturbed conscience, and a seizure
