Pitcher Johnny Lush, of the St. Louis Nationals, la out to make many of the crack southpaws In the big leagues look to their laurels. Sines the opening of the season Lush has twirled flrst-elaas all.; anO with Breanahan behind the bat to help him out there Is no doubt that the clever southpaw will make, a good record. Lush is not xmly a track pitcher, but is a capable field er and a hard and timely thltter. In a recent fame against Chicago, which he won,' he made three hits. Xush made his professional debut la 1903 with the WlUiamsport Pa..club as a flelderHe attracted attention, and that faR the Philadelphia- ctuu. signed him. He started in in 1104-as a southpaw pitcher, but in a short time was used In the eatfleld to get ths benefit of hi excellent batting. In mid-season he was placed on first base, and In a short time he mastered the position so well that he finished the season at the bag. The follow ing season, however, he was used- as a pitcher, as Bransftel waa secured from the pltttbug club. He re mained with- the Phillies until m7, when he was traded to St. Louis for pitcher "Buster" Brown. Hs has since an a usaXuI mtmber of the Cardinals pitching staff. In lltl Lush plUhsd a bo bit gams against Brooklyn.

He Gives Uie High Sign, to Signify a Block Ahead. New York Sun. It is a common thing for the driv er held up by a block ahead to throw up his whip hand as a sign to drivers following him. All sorts of drivers do this; and yet It seemej strange to see the sign given by the driver of a hearse. Funera's are not commonly seen In the crowded business streets of '.he city where the sign may be neces sary; they are met oftenest In resi dence streets, where traffic Is not like ly to be obstructed: and so one might. In the course of time, nee many fun eral processlors psse and never once see the hearse driver give the high sign. Hut the hearee is not always seen at the head of a funeral profession; It must cf course go to and from tho place at which It Is to head the line of cnrrlatss, and then It mows alone, ns was the case with this hearse, soen go'.ng up' Broadway, like any other separate vehicle in tr miJet or a crush of trucks, wacor.3. carriages and automobiles; and here, when there was a block ahead, the man on the box of the hearse threw up his whip hand. Just like any othur driver. No More Hot Air. Richmond News Leader.

Written for The Observer. '' Dr. G. Ed Flow. who. now that the excitement has passed. Is willing that public announcement be made that he Is the author of the sublime poem.. "The Wail." which appeared In Ther . Observer some months ago, la at present engaged In a careful study of the dictionary for the purpose of en larging and strengthening his vocaba- .' lary As ths doctor's command of the . English language is already phanom- " enal. and seemed to admit of ao further extension, your correspond- . en: hastened to interview him with refsrence to thta new manoeuvre. Dr. Fiow modestly admitted that his abil ity to clothe his thoughts in elegant and copious language was great enough for any ordinary orator, preacher or poet, but he was not satis fled with this ordinary acquisition, as . he aspired to attain the height reach ed by the late Senator John J. Ingallx, w hose vocabulary, acquired by con- . . stant study of the dictionary, was like -an ocean whoae wave touched every shore of thought The Interviewer having suggested that the doctor's vocabulary had al ready reached the ocean stage, and when taken at the flood had at times rivaled the high tides of the Bay of Fund the doctor waved the sugges tion aside as of no moment, and pick ed up his dictionary to Immerse him self again In Its pages. Overcome by the exereme modesty of the atuient, the Interviewer was about to step softly away In order not to disturb tho quiet and still air of study, when the doctor cast his eyes upon the cell ing and murmured these remarkable words: 'Traumatic neurasthenia; Greek derivatives: traumatic, from traumatlkes. an adjective derived from the substantive 'trauma.' a wound or injury; neurasthenia, from neuron, a nerve, 'a' or alpha trlvl tlve, and sthenla, strength, the whole word being equivalent to the English phrase, lsck of nerve-strength, or nerve weakness; and the entire ex preeslon, 'traumatic neurasthenia,' sig nifies nerve-weakness caused by a wcund or Injury." After listening to the foregoing It occurred to the hearer that the Ogden movement for the educational uplift of the benighted South is misdirecting Its energies and wasting Its money. Here is a man who smites upon the simple, abridged dictionary of ths latn Noah Webster, snd whole streams of knowledge burst forth. And herein lies a fruitful suggestion to both the Ogdenltea and the Csrnegle Founda tion: Let a moderate portion only of the funds now devoted to hot sir dis courses n the educational needs of the South, snd to the building of li braries (which serve principally as monuments to the benefits derived from the tariff on steel by a malefac tor of great wealth) let but a small portion of these funds be devoted to the employment of Dr. Flow to lecture throughout the South on "The Use of the Dictionary as a Means to Com pleter Knowledge and Higher Educa tion," and let another portion of those funds be expended Jn placing a die--tlonary In the .hands of every child, and the South will be saved. And, though posterity has never done a single thing for us. posterity, too, will he saved from the blighting breath of Ignorance: and the aun of knowledge, . ever at its senlth, will cast refulgent rays upon all that section of our conimon country lying south of that parallel of north latitude, which la -usually denominated "Mason and Dig. on'a Line." This subject cannot be abandoned ' without referring to a collateral Issue rained by certain enemies of Dr. Flow's political beliefs. These folks would have It that the doctor is simply enlarging his vocabulary for th' purpose of giving full expression to his thoughts In case President Taft appoints a Democrat to the Federal Judgwhlp. The writer is In a position to . deny this In toto. No baser calumny -wos ever uttered against the motives of any man. The doctor Is seeking to behold the bright countenance of t : truth, In his ovyn quiet way and for himself nrlniarlly. and his ultimate Tf. purpose Is to bestow the knowledge th.is jtalned upon his friends and neighbors. Those who ascribe to him V baser motives should be on their gtard. lest they remove themeelvea V from the company of '.he elect. v :? w. j. p. v:fr Monroe, May 4, 1909. ; - Kvv inert Agreement Set Aside.
