Two-thirds of all colds are infectious, and due, not to cold pure air, but to foul, stuffy air, with the crop of germs that such air is almost certain to contain. They should be called "fouls," not "colds." They spread from one person to another; they run through families, schools, and shops.
Josephine must have heard me say fifty times if she has heard me one that the man who fouls his tongue with an oath is a senseless oaf. And yet I am bound to admit that when I discovered what had happened I swore deliberately and roundly like the veriest trooper.
"Mister, I'll lick you fer thet after the game! And I'll show you dog-goned well how I can pitch." "Good!" exclaimed Raddy; and I echoed his word. Then I went to the bench and turned my attention to the game. Some one told me that McCall had made a couple of fouls, and after waiting for two strikes and three balls had struck out.
"That's all very well, but how about the rifling in the barrel? I guess there wouldn't be much of that stuff left on by the time the bullet was spinning." Silence fell like a cloud on the group, and the bubble was finally pricked when another officer came up and said "More bad grease! I've had to chuck out half a box of ammunition because the grease has gone bad and fouls the rifles."
"Let's after her, Jack!" cried one; "she'll be overboard double quick if she fouls agin them blessed bulwarks. It's as rotten as tinder." Off they ran, and they tried all they could to bring the girl back. But she had had such a scare that she would not hear of it. She had seen a man hiding there. "Bah!" cried Jack Tiller, "why should a man hide away from us?" "Yes, that's it, miss, why?"
"In baseball, I mean. What place do you play? Catch? Thrower? I don't know the names much." Ken replied eagerly, and then it seemed he was telling this stern old man all about baseball. He wanted to know what fouls were, and how to steal bases, and he was nonplussed by such terms as "hit-and-run." Ken discoursed eloquently on his favorite sport, and it was like a kind of dream to be there.
On the other hand, to employ an extreme example and yet it is shown by statistics that there are one hundred thousand tramps and vagrants in this country the man who folds his arms and defiantly proclaimes that the world owes him a living, mutinies against the sacred order of things "fouls his own nest," as it were.
A mountain-brook, pure and cold, bubbling from under snow-drifts, is guided from this highland down the gently sloping streets in gutters adjoining both the sidewalks. A municipal ordinance imposes severe penalties on any one who fouls it. Young's buildings and gardens occupy an entire square, ten acres in extent, as do also Kimball's.
He only succeeded, however, in making a number of fouls. But Reddy shuddered for the score when he realized how well the Charleston catcher was studying his best curves. Suddenly the man struck up a sky-scraping foul. Everybody yelled at once: "Over your head!" And Heady, ripping away his mask again, whirled round and round, trying to find the little globule in the dazzling sky.
But a man must respect his own rank or others won't respect it, especially in these nasty, radical, leveling times. You must stand by your class. There's a vulgar proverb about the bird that fouls its own nest, you know. Well, I never did that. I've always stood by my own class. Helped my poor brother Archibald you can't remember him weren't born at the time to run away with Lady Jane Bateman.
