I wont attempt to describe him. You all know him. The most conspicuous figure in the game for the past twenty years, whose natural ability, indomitable spirit, courage and aggressiveness all have assisted to raise him to heights never reached by any other ball player. The offensive side of the game has always been his forte. As in football, a good offense is a good defense, so it seems Ty has applied himself to baseball. Keep the othef fellow guessing what you are going,lo do. Worry him, dont let him worry you, are mottoes typified by his work. As a base runner, no one has ever come dose to him. Defensively there are superiors to Cobb. Tris Speaker is second to no one when it conies to playing the outfield, but I will always believe, everything considered, Tv Cobb the greatest and best indiwdual that ever wore baseball uniform. On top of Eddie Collin high tribute to Ty Cobb, you boys may be interested to know that in some People's opinions, Eddie is a better baseball player than Ty himself. Next week Fddie Collins will answer some questions on base stealing. Collins, too, is a famous bast thief. won-derf- ul ing The Colonel groaned. Then he said, That Was very thoughtful of you, my girl Now come in and I will give you a peppermint and a horenound drop. When Lucy had eaten her candy and skipped out into the yard, the Colonel .very cautiously gripped his box of laundry and limped a step at a time to the bottom of the stairs. I hated to tell her it was my soiled clothes that I had loft in that box for the laundryman to call for. She moans well' A few moments later, Jack, passing the laundry box at the bottom of (he stairs, exclaimed, Gee, if I werent so mad at Old Cross-patcId take his clean clothes up to him. Id better anyway." . So Jack carried the box up and woke the old man out of his nap to deliver it. I thank you, boy. I thank you. Now run along," cried the Star Boarder petulantly as he took the box. Huh, lot of thanks I . got for that," grumbled Jack, but he didn't know that the crippled old fellow hobbled painfully downstairs with his box when Jack had gone out i Had Overlooked That Customer: "Ive worn these calfskin shoes only two months and now look at em.

Where Pearl Are Found Pearls are animal growths, being found in shellfish of various kinds, but usually in the pearl oyster ' which i nethkethe .ordiwaryscwey.. but more of the mussel variety. Oyster shells are lined with a smooth toatsng of mother of pearl called nacre- .- Layer by layer the When oyster builds it up. the . foreign substance enters oysters tissue, the little animal stops the irritation by surrounding the object with a coating of nacre, or perhaps several coats so that it can do him no injury. These protective balls of pearl are what are taken from the oyster to be used as jewels. Sometimes small sharp pieces of nacre are purposely inserted by owners of oyster beds into the three year old animals, then two years later when they are taken from the water, each one contain f big, lustrous pearl. Of all the pearl fisheries, those near Ceylon in India are the greatest Stories say that the wonderful pedrls King Solomon had came from Ceylon. The pearls Cleo- -. patra dissolved and dranlccame also from there. Diving for pearls is a regular business of Ceylon, employing a great many workers. Each oyster boat usually has five divers. They go down repeatedly, each time taking a basket fastened to a rope on the boat. When the diver reaches the bottom he scoops up the shells with his basket. The dangers of such an occupation are not trivial. Sometimes tne men are stung by jellyfishes. Again they may stay down too long, and, overestimating their ability to go without breath, will be brought up dead. The divers hold their noses when they descend. An Arab can stay under from eighty to ninety seconds, but a Tamil diver usually not so long. A pearl diver's pay consists id bis getting d of the oysters he brings ujL Then he may hunt through them for the prizes and by telling the pearls, make his wa- -' The days catch on an oyster fes. is talen to a rotting ground where the oysters lie in piles for a week or so and are allowed to decay before the pearls are picked one-thir- out.

But when you consider his unmusical call and his untrustworthy habits you begin to see a likeness between the two. And a' close look at the raven color of the crows back shows you that there are purple and blue feathers mixed in with the inky ones. The eggs of both the Crow and Blue thickly speckled Jay are makes more fuss than he does damage. The squawking j he utters is equal to the sound of two or three other birds as he flashes past with decisive flight to pick a quarrel in the next tree. His feathers are a smoky blue, blending into a cadet blue and on hi wings and back. Hi wings are bars of black and white with blue to develop a person Into a good stitcher. The hide on a horse's neck is too stretchy for use on baseballs, while that on the flanks, is too glazed. As the picture shows, they use the hide from the middle of his back.
