25 YEARS OT/n. pgr1 Hl «for THAT BABY Just Exactly Like Its Papa And Tbe Very Image Of Its Mama. Perfect Likeness Of Both. One of tbe dearest little earthly angels that ever fluttered into the domicile of parent's hearts and home took up its abode at the Palace Grocery-upstairs-last Saturday afternoon. Fred Cotton was seen to be very nervous and much excited during the afternoon and evening pi that day. Many of Fred's custo were wondered why be made eo many mistakes while assembling orders for their goodB. One customer reports that he called for $1 00 worth of sugar when Fred sent his boy to another store for $1 00 worth of fine Canton Flannel. The flannel was sent up-stairs'as Fred was evidently thinking of household needs. The sugar was put ap later. Another customer reported having called for two oans of tomatoes when Fred told hie .helper to take two cans of condensed milk upstairs. Fred was heard to ask tbe customer "What did you aBk for, flour?" The answer came "Tomatoes." "Well" he said, "I thought yon said condensed milk." Fred came down from Dreamland later and reported "It's a girl, boya that I wouldn't take a million dollars lor and wouldn't give a cent for another. Step up and have a smoke, and remember that the Palace Grocery keeps tbe best groceries and •ells them tbe cheapest in Exira and we haven't named her jrat. Gness I have to take up aouie toilet aoap and powder." EX-SEN. JXEVELAND Nominated At Co. Bluffs Yesterday By The Democratic Congressional Convention, Unanimously. Hon. W. F.

Ed Marquesen and Jacob Esbeck met with a painful accident that might have proven more disastrous than it did last Tuesday. It started from a playful joke when Ed seized Esbeck by the shoulders and pushed him against what L« thought was the brick wall. Esbeck, however swerced to the side resulting with that both men crashed through the large 8x10 glass front of the Esbeck Clothing Store. Both men were quite badly cut, bruised and scratched on the right arm and Mr. Esbeck received quite a deep gach his right side. They were both hurried to the office of Dr. Soe where they were hurriedly bandaged. Both are doing nicely and will be alright in about three weeks. CEMETERY PICNIC Urgent Call to Come Out And Clean Up Cemetery Responded To Liberally By Seventy-Five. Wednesday dawned bright and fair and manygood people responded to tbe call to beautify our Silent City of tbe Dead. Much work was donti and all worked faithfully. There is still much to do and we hope many will go before decoration day that could not go Wednesday^ or band in tbe money to Dr. Oldaker, Secretary of tbe Cemetery to have their work done. We are talking of having the forest trees cut out of the Cemetery. If you have any objections to having them cut oft your lot please notify the Secretary. The heavy coat of leaves makes it impossible to keep the Cemetery in good condit on acd is fast killing the grass. Much credit is due to the men who furnished teams and automobiles to cany the people to the^Cemetery and to the farmers who left their fields In this busy season to labor for the good of-the Cemetery. We noticed many soas and daughters of the Pioneers of our County thereat work on the resting places of their parents. Thank you, one and all, and come again that we may have another happy day together. At least 75 were present.

The old rickety posts and chains have been removed and now cement work is being moulded into the base and built high enough to support the earthwork that will slope to the level of the Park itself. The Beautiful City of Exira receives many fine compliments from River to River tourists. A few street lamps now and our wants will be satisfied for a time. Mrs. John Porter and son were visiting in Audubon Saturday. M.

The gentlemen brought a good band with them, also two Scotch Bag Pipers attired in the regular Scotch Highlanders uniform. After a pretty general acquaintance the party returned to their traiu to proceed on their journey. Their Btay was short but their Carnations and words of praise for our cities appearance were very much appreciated. We trust they may renew tbe acquaintance at no distant day. THE DAILY CAPITAL Doing Good Work Over The State. Champion Of River To River Road Project State Wide Improvement. To the Daily Capital belongs the movement for good roads and tbe booster spirit throughout Iowa. There is scarcely an issue of that great paper but what contains something that someone has said about good roads, somewhere in Iowa. The eagle eye of its editor iB ever alert for an item of praise from any source, for the toilers who has brought into good repute, the historic River to River Road. The bone and tbe sinew of the country, with the financial assistance of those who could not help otherwise, have carried the great road project, dreamed out by the Capital, into a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The River to River road if as a carpeted floer to the Corduroy of olden times. W. J. Lancelot, Editor W. H. Lancelot, Publisher "-jUDGEjGREEN DES MOINES BOOSTERS The Convention Which Convened at Council Blutts Tuesday Nominated Judge Green Unanimously Alter the 130th Ballot In his speech, Judge Green, nominee for Congressman said "Some say we have fallen upon evil times and object to hearing the words, Standpatter and Progressive. These words have no terror for me. When it comes to a question of protecting our people and our products from a foreign country we all are Standpatters. When it comes to a question of whether we shall employ the best talent, the best minds, and the best modern thought, then who is there who would lag behind, who .would say we are not all progressive?" *x EXIRA, IOWA, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1911. •1.00 PER YEAR CONVENTION The Republican County Convention At Audubon Last Saturday All In Favor of Her Gifted Son The most enthusiastic Convention held iu Audubon for many years assembled at the Court House last Saturday.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE Shot Himself, Cut His Throat And Then Tried To Burn Himself Up In A Straw Stack. Special to Atlantie Telegraph: Audubon, la., May 15—Friday afternoon about 4 p. m. Robert Feltuer living east of Audubon went to his brother's farm to make some fence taking his shot gun with him supposedly to shoot squirrels. His brother who is batching was out in the field planting corn. After getting to his brother's place Feltuer shot himself through the neck and then got a butcher knife and cut his throat. Not being satisfied he crawled into a straw stack and set fire to the stack. This seemed to bring him to his senses and he crawled out and telephoned to his wife and Dr. Childs, telling them to hurry to the place that something dreadful had happened. His brother by this time had seen the straw stack on fire and hurried to his home and found Feltner putting grease on his burns. When the doctor said how badly Feltner was burned and cut up he sent for Dr. Brooks and a nurse. Feltner is still living although his case is not a very hopeful one, two thirds of his body being badly burned. Tbe gun and knife did not do serious damage. Feltner is conscious and says he does does not know why he tried to commit suicide. He has had considerable sickness of late and has been acting strangely at timss. He has worried some about his crops although he had his corn planted. Ho was married last January. UNCLE TOTS CABIN That Dear Old Story By The Sweet Old Lady, Harriet Beecher Stowe Will Never Die While Terry lives Once more this excellent show has come and gone and all were pleased with (he attractions. It usually comes to tbe town once each year and our people pack their tent full each performance. The cruel death of poor Uncle Tata and the pathetic demise of sweet little Eva moved many to tears both seemed HO real. They were accompanied with a good band of musical artists who rendered many difficult selections on the street in concert. One improvement we could suggest is a little less dynamics in the orchestra. The bass and baritone should be omitted while characters recite in public. Tde horns are too heavy altho performed on beautifully. The words of the actors could not be heard BIX seats from the stage. The show is made up of good clean people. Not a foul word was heard or an immodest sentiment expressed during their stay. They are ladies and gentlemen and are always welcome in Exira.

BILLYSICKLES Hard Luck For Our Former Townsman, Wm. Sickles Now Residing In Colorado. While Wm. Sickles son, Blaine was driving his team, hltohed to a plow, on their farm, near Hillrose, Colorado, a few days ago, a flash of lightning emerged from an apparently clear sky, killing both horses and stunning the son, Blaine, who soon recovered from the shock and was taken to the house where recovery was complete. Not long since Billy was ottered $475.00 for the team, which he refused as they were an excellent team tor bis work and trusty at all times. This is a severe loss tor a man starting in a new country. Wtegi FROST IN ATLANTIC Monday and Tuesday Biggest Frost Struck Atlantic That Was Ever Seen In Western Iowa. Like many others we were attracted to the Fair Grounds at Atlantic last Monday to witness the many stunts that were promised by the International Aviators for that day. It was a pleasure to see eo many people on the grounds when we tried to count the cost ot the meet to the Atlantic boys, who ran the risk of meeting expenses. Our ambition was to see tbe program carried out as per schedule. At four o'clock two monoplanes were brot out and after some explanation the machines were taken to their positions for aecensiou a«d soon one was seen to start down the field and into the air as gracefully as a bird in thgbt. It was a grand sight, the start, the flight and the alighting, but all was done so quickly, not to exceed five minutes, that the crowd scarcely realized that one of the acts was over. After a wait of two hours more another flight was made and the ascension was a pretty performance of skill, but altogether too quickly and after six minutes by the watch, the machine that was entertaining the crowd came down to earth, across the creek and behind the timber belt, that obscured it from view, and at least a mile away from the starting point. Thus ended the first day's performance on which so much bad bee" promised by the Aviation grafters, whoever that word may hit, that honest people werediegus. ted. The second days exhibition was no better than the first. One machine only was used both days and two ascensions only was made each day. From the way, they—the Aviators—used us country Ruben we certainly were STUNG. COL C. E. 1ERTZ Everyone Has Little Troubles Of His Own and The Colonel Seems To Be No Exception. Jv.V: ... State papers aro saying that when Clarence E. Mertz turned on the gas in an Omaha hotel and said to his wife, Anna Mertz "I oan't stop drinking, so we will just die together" Mrs. Mertz concluded married life was too wearing She so testified in the District Court in her suit for a divorce, which was granted on grounds of drunkenriess.- The Mertz's were married 13 years ago and the husband conducted a drug store in Nemaha, Iowa, where he formed the liquor habit. They have been separated two years.—Exchange Now, with those who knew the Mertzs as well as we knew them, we are led to exclaim "What do you kaow about that!" Certainly Mamie must have been under the influence of apollinaris water for we'll wager a gluten Hour pancake against a ticket to the Aviation meet at Atlantic (we have both on baud) that Gene Mertz never in his life entertained a thought of self destruction. Give the his due, Mamie but don't oharge up such a diabolical act to Gene Mertz he is not guilty. Our advice to both, you and the Colonel is to kiss and make up, and do over again what you did once before viz, love, honor and obey (you may have had the obey left out of your marriage vow) but quit aoting like children for we know you love each other yet and old age is coming on RDN AWAY The Team Of Harvey Lyle Became Frightened, Made A Break For Liberty, Ran About Quarter Mile A runaway of small dimensions occured on our streets Saturday, when the team of Mr. Harvey Lyle, who lives a few miles east of Extra, became frightened and tried to shake the wagon and their driver, but Mr. Lyle himself held the reins and soon brot the animals under control. While running over the grade, weaving the vehicle from one side to the other, it seemed that the wagon would surely capsize and perhaps kill their driver, but Mr. Lyle kept cool and brought them to a standstill down near the West Town bridge. Many men would have jumped out and let the team stop when they oe came ready, perhaps after they had run Into a barb wire fenoe and cut themselves badly. It was a fortunate runaway.

Endelig samlebes be cit Nat be We know of no other medicine which has been so successful in relieving the suffering of women, or secured so many genuine testimonials as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. In almost every community you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Almost every woman you meet has either been benefited by it, or knows some one. who has. In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files containing over one million one hundred thousand letters from women seeking health, in which many openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved many women from surgical operations. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made exclusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless. The reason why it is so successful is because it contains ingredients which act directly upon the female organism, restoring it to healthy and normal activity. Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy. Coloma, Wisconsin. For three years I was troubled with female weakness, irregularities, backache and bearing down pains. I saw an advertisement of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and decided to try it. After taking several bottles I found it was helping me, and I must say that I am perfectly well now and can not thank you enough for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me."

It is made from the meat of bananas, matured in the sunshine of the tropics, pealed, dried, granulated and roasted. The roasting imparts a distinctive, fragrant flavor, not banana-like. BONANO is the most delightful and healthful beverage, and is as easy to prepare as tea or coffee. A teaspoon of BONANO, a cup of water, a minute's boil, and a litcream and sugar. Don't be prejudiced, but order a can today from your grocer and give it a week's honest trial. At the end of that time you will be surprised at the improvement in your health—calmer nerves, clearer brain, sounder sleep. BONANO has just the food stimulating, tissue-building qualities desirable for a drink for morning, noon and night. You will like BONANO, and it is the one hot drink you can also give children in safety. A 25 cent can makes seventy-five cups, so that it is as economical as it is good. A trial will convince you. Ask your grocer for BONANO, the incomparable drink. INTERNATIONAL BANANA FOOD CO. Chicago, 111.

"Wanted.—A bright boy to begin at the bottom o£ the ladder in my office and gradually work up by his own conscientious efforts until I can take him into partnership ai^i marry him to my only daughter. Call at 9462 West Fourteenth and a Half street." Mr. Gotrox sat in Ms office impatiently awaiting the answers to his ad. which he knew would come. In a few minutes, one after another, a large number of lads filed In, some of t£iem breathless from running, having read their morning papers a little late. Mr. Gotrox looked them over qulokly with his eagle eye and dismissed all but two. "Now, boys," he said, after he had talked with them a bit, "I like the looks of you both, and will employ the one who does a simple thing the best." (He Bhould have said "better, inasmuch as there were only two boys, but he was not that sort of a man during business hours.) "Here are two packages, Just alike, which have been delivered here," he said. "John," addressing the sadeyed, dreamy youth, "let me see you Open this parcel." Then John winked at himself and said in his heart: "This is Indeed a snap. How glad I am that I am upon or on to this little scheme." And with great care and patience he tugged and picked at the hard knots, and after long effort took the cord oft in one piece, wound it into a neat coll, carefully folded up the coarse wrapping paper and stepped back, trying hard to conceal the triumph In his eyes. Mr. Gotrox made no reply, except: "Now, Sam, it is your turn." Poor Sam! He had never had any advantages to speak of, as he had been obliged to hustle a good deal all of his life and had never read any stories of good boys who had become great. He whipped out his Jackknlfe, cut the cord In four places quicker than a wink and kicked the wrapping paper into the corner. "You're the boy for me," shouted Mr. Gotrox, "and you may go to work at onoe. John," he said, "you are ft good boy, but you should have lived in 1847. You are not in It corns thlB year.

Children's fashions all have an especial charm when made up in spring materials, and this year a look of ununusual novelty is added to this blitheness. Color put on white Is immensely in vogue, bands, yokes and cuffs in the most vivid hues showing on snowy little frocks and aprons. This color note with white may take the form of a very effective if simple embroidery on a fine frock of marquisette, which texture washes like a rag:, and very often the needlework In heavy blocks will contain half a dozen rich colors. A deep red, blue of the most intense sort, black, orange, mahogany and green are tints that appear In this needlework, which, whether hand or machine made, is called Bulgarian embroidery. Of course the small frocks so treated need to be dry-cleaned aa the vivid trimming used cannot be oounted on to stand the rigors of the washtub. Nevertheless, many a little lawn and linen frock may show needlework in one or three of these rich colors, and if the garment comes from a first class place—perhaps a shop that makes a specialty of juvenile wear— It is pretty likely to be warranted as washable. With the bordered muslins, lawns, swisses and challles,—for challie Is included among the wash materials—the contrasting banding will be used with charming effect at the bottom of little 6klrts, about the cut-out neck and at the edge of sleeves. All white frocks are seen In plenty and surely nothing could be sweeter for very young children, but when the child has passed five a touch of color is newer, and it is apt to appear if only in the form of ribbon knots and sashes. As to design, the garments of the girl of seven, perhaps, are pretty apt to show some of the lines of her mamma's frocks, for kimono cuts are used fer bodices and there are many little one-piece gowns almost identical in line with those for grown-ups. The difference comes in an easy width of the skirt, in a decolletage of the neck and In very short sleeves, all raiment distinctly for summer wear showing these last points. Models for the tinier children have the babyish features suited to pudgy Infantile figures, and with the dressup wash frock it is pretty much the rage to have the child look as much like a French doll as possible. The long bodice and skirt—that Is no more than a tiny flounce with edge sometlmegjalling afeorLof tha child's knees jj* .? Exira Auto & Hachine Works FOR SPRING EDIOT OF FASHION IN CHILDREN'S GARMENTS. Should Bs Combined With White to Have the Proper Effect—Long Bodice and Skirt Still Beautify Your Lawn Have your Lawiimower sharpened by the very latest method. We have erected in our shop one of the famous Ideal Lawnmower Grinders, a machine especially built for the purpose of grinding Lawnmowers, which does the work perfectly. If you will favor us with your patronage, we guarantee to give you back your Mower in better condition than the day you bought it. It will be sharp and stay sharp longer than the old style way, which is usually done by inexperienced workmen with a file or on an emery wheel. Next time your mower needs sharpening bring it in and we will make it cut so nicely that it will surprise you. —still comprise the favored Tou and me Let us creep up Where he's at And together model, but instead of the distinct sleeve the bodice portion of the smart garment Is cut in one with these details. In fact, It Is well nigh Impossible to escape the kimono Influence, and although It may be run in the ground after awhile for the moment It is all powerful. Among the accessories for little girls are delightful aprons, whfcli, since they are skirt length, may be used on a hot day in the house or country without a frock. These graceful and important details may be of the plainest linens or ginghams, but mothers who like the neatness and coquetry of the apron often turn out cunning little affairs of dotted swiss with lace edges for wear with quite fine frocks. The "cook's apron" Is the next style, the rear bands fastening at the shoulders being an exact imitation of some of the apron cuts used by chefs. The little quantity of goods needed for this apron should recommend it to mothers who like their children to present a neat appearance at home and who cannot afford too many changes of frocks. Then quite a gay and childish look can be given the small garment with the use of a colored cotton with small Jlother Goose figures for the banding, one such being employed In this eas* Ml a brown linen.

ANSON ("POP" ANSON) mm, rf-W 1 F%, t, FCFVS ,'•* FLOWERS ON THE FUR SCARF Effective Touch That Give* Relief to Somber Garments Worn In Cold Weather. One email touch of color makes •ombre garments bloom with brightness. This is quite noticeable since the women began wearing a tiny bunch of artificial flowers or a single satin rose against the dark fur shoulder scarf. This fashion began Just a few weeks ago, and it has been widely taken up ever since. It is interesting to watch a thing like this grow. A woman came into an afternoon tea with a brilliant pink satin rose pinned on a black fox scarf. Twenty women discussed it later and the next day after that half the number were downtown shopping for colored flowers. On the succeeding days there were flowers in plenty on dark fu»» wherever women were foregathred. It was a small touch, but it gave color and brilliancy to the dull tones that women wear on our streets. It was better than a gardenia in the buttonhole, and better than a bow of colored ribbon, although this fashion Is being taken up by those who do not wish to pay the price for a good artificial blossom. The fashion for satin flowers came in last summer, but did not meet with wide success in this particular spot. One saw roses of the material on hats and again on evening gowns as a rival to the rococo affairs of bullion cloth. Empire gowns for young girls carried girdles of tiny satin buds on a green vine, and even slippers were finished off with a tiny satin blossom. Yet the vogue of the single flower well made and attached to the costume as a note of rich color was not in general use. Then, without warning, came this attractive method of pinning such a color to one's furs. In the old days, when a fur piece was something to keep one warm In the street and to be laid aside indoors, the colored flower would not have Berved half as well as it does now, when furs are retained at all formal daytime affairs excent luncheons.

All rights reserved.) CHAPTER I. I Begin to Play Ball. When I began to play ball—I nave a fairy good memory, but I am not going to mention the date—it would .have been considered foolish for any follower of the game to sit down.and write its history, especially if he had the nerve to begin every other sentence with a great big "I." Perhaps the situation hasn't changed a great deal as to the use of the personal pronoun, but in respect to the game it is mighty different ball has made history since that day and it's time somebody woke up and tackled it. I'll say right here, though, that I shouldn't have attempted the feat In the form of an autobiography had it not been for Just one thing—it has been my fate to be so mixed up with the development of baseball in America for the past 40 years or more that It wouldn't be an easy trick to disentangle me. That is why I am writing this story as if the hero of it all were Adrian Constantino Anson. Funny combination, that name— ain't it? Makes you think of some of the old Roman emperors in the school histories. One day when there was no game I got a volume out of the public library and hunted up both my namesakes. To be frank with you, neither one of them made a hit with me. I am told that my mother had another name ail ready for me, but my father —usually the easi&st proposition in the Anson family—got up and rooted for Adrian Constantine until everybody was glad to let him win. I never knew exactly how It was that father was so set on that, combination until I read a newspaper account to the effect that the old gentleman was so in love with the state of Michigan that he named me after the two towns of that state in which he had lived. The writer of that article took occasion to congratulate me that the combination hadn't happened to be Ypsilantl Kalamazoo, and I couldn't help agreeing with him. There may have been some- brothers was named Sturgis,- which suggests another Michigan town. I don't know that I should bother with the matter of pedigree—although most of the autobiographers I have come across seem to make a big feature of such things—if it wasn't for the fact that ever since I began to figure tn the papers in connection with baseball some of them have been trying to make a Swede out of me. Now I want to say right here that I have ASEDAIL A Hbfory of the Greaf National Game ,'/////* ... LOTS OF EXERCISE AMD PLENTY 7^ OF fXOTEMEMT. nothing against the Swedes those I have come up against size up mighty well in the shuffle. They have done a big stunt in the development of the middle northwest and If I happened to be one of them I shouldn't have kicked over the fact. It's kind of risky business, though, this pedigree question. I found that out one day when I called on the editor of a Philadelphia newspaper to ask him how he happened to call me a Swede in print. "Well, captain, ain't you?" hetasked, looking me square in the face. I toid hijp that, BO far as I knew, there wasn't drop of Swedish blood in my carcass that my ancestors way back as far as anybody had cared to go were English, and that some member of my family that cared a darn sight more about such things than I did had (Traced our genealogy back as far as Lord Anson, an English landed proprietor of considerable note. If you think that settled it, you have another guess coming. "My dear Captain Anson," he said, with a sort of pitying smile, "I do not see from your own account that you have disproved yqur Swedish ancestry. On the contrary, I should say that you have strengthened its probability. The old Scandinavian stock Is so securely en­ AC. ANSON fdnner/fymgrr offfre Chicago jYatio/ta/ League 7eam grafted on the English ancestral tree that It would be exceedingly rash to disclaim it." Just the same, what that sporting editor said doesn't alter the fact that the Ansons came from England and so did the Rices, my mother's family. And eventually our branch of the family got as far west as central Iowa. In 1852 central Iowa was pretty close to the frontier. What is now the thriving little city of Marshalltown existed only in the imagination of my father, who laid it off into town lots and proceeded to boom it to the best of his ability. It was mighty slow work for a long time, but finally the crowd headed that way. I was right at the head of the procession, being the first white child born in the new city, and in a log cabin at that. I shall always regard that as one of the biggest honors ever coming my way. By the time I was big enough to sit on a bench in the little red schoolhouse that was Marshalltown's only •eat of learning in those early days the fortunes of the Anson family were at the high water mark. Father sold off a number of plots and business sites and we moved out of our log cabin into a fair-sized house in the new metropolis of Marshall county. With the money that he got from the sale of town lots father built a planing mill and later a hotel, the Anson house, and for a time we prospered for fair. Later, things took a turn for the worse and for a while we seemed to be on the wrong side of prosperity. But don't you believe for a minute that hard luck put the damper on the high spirits of the Anson family. Father was not built that way, nor was either of his three sons, especially the on£ he had dubbed Adrian Constantine. I suppose it must have been due In part to the good health we enjoyed: but in my case the neighbors gave the credit to the gentleman of whom we speak only when we are a little excited. I certainly was an active specimen of the rough and tumble variety of kid, and from the first day I found myself at the little red schoolhouse I made up my mind that going to school did. not appeal to me, and the longer I went the stronger my conviction that I was not cut out for a scholar. I was ready to admit that learning was a fine thing for some folks, but I didn't Include myself among the latter bunch, and I found the enforced confinement about the most disagreeable thing I was up against. For that reason I always appreciated the holidays, and I added many to my calendar that were not observed by anybody else. Did I ever play ball in those days? Well, rather. If there was any species of ball game that I didn't play It was because It was so new that it hadn't reached that part of Iowa. As I look back it seems to me' that pretty nearly everything got Interested in had to do with ball In some shape or other. Of course, the game of baseball as it is played nowadays hadn't been developed, but there were several other games played with ball and bat, and with ball alone, that were good enough to occupy a good deal of my attention. One of these, called "anty-over" in our part of the country, I considered mighty good sport. Any number of boys—we never asked the girls to Join us unless we couldn't raise a quorum among ourselves—could play it, the more the merrier. Two leaders were appointed and they proceeded to choose sides. The teams then stationed themselves one on each side of some building, and the player with the ball tossed it over tha roof, at the same time yelling at the top of his voice, "Anty-over!" If the ball was caught by any player on the opposite side as It came rolling down the shingles, it became the catcher's privilege to sneak around the corner of the building and sock some man belonging to the other side. If he succeeded in doing this to the satisfaction of everybody—excepting, of course, the fellow who got the ball in the neck or some other sensitive spot—the man hit had to change sides. I don't know whether or not this game is still among the living, but if It Isn't there's a good thing gone out of the world. There was lots of exercise tn It and plenty of excitement. When the expected "Anty-over!" didn't come and there was a' suspicious silence everybody on the other side held his breath in anticipation of. a possible socking. Then there was the old cat family of ball—one old cat, two old cat, etc. I used to regard two old cat as a mighty scientific game in those days, and the only fault it had In my eyes was that the girls would play it In spite of the risk of being dubbed tomboys. I did my Bhare in discouraging them, but rather than not play ball I was sometimes driven to let a girl or two into the game. As soon as another boy put in his appearance, though, she had to go. Although I have modified my views somewhat, in those days I was a firm believer in the physical Inferiority of the other sex. Soek ball—"soak ball" we used to call It—had its turn a little later, and it made a big hit with us. It was a good, strenuous outdoor pastimes and, although the socking that was the main feature of it used to decorate our hides with more or less black and blue spots, I never heard of any one being killed outright. At first the ball used by us was a comparatively soft one, homemade always, and covered with sections cut from an old bootleg. In time we seemed to hanker after something harder, and I hit on the scheme of winding the yarn of which the inside of the ball was made over a chunk of lead. A sock of that, ball never failed to make an impression. CHAPTER II. I Am Initiated Into Baseball. At the time when was a school lad I knew nothing at all about baseball. The game was in its infancy and had not yet reached Marshalltown. After a while rumors of a new game of ball that was making quite a stir In the eastern part of the country-began to find their way into our remote neighborhood, but we didn't stop playing sock ball long enough to pay much attention to them. We were getting lots of outdoor exercise and muscular training from our rough game, a very good preparation for what was coming. Our town was growing rapidly and new arrivals from the east brought the news that baseball was becoming epidemic east of the Allegheny mountains and had already passed over into Ohio and Michigan. It seemed likely that it would break out in Iowa before long, but I was loyal to the old favorite until the very last. One day 1 spied a crowd of boys and men In a vacant lot that belonged to my father and I didn't lose any time in joining the assemblage. A colony of New York state families had arrived in town a few days before that and some of the boys were playing a game of baseball, suoh a novelty in Marshalltown that the crowd had gathered to watch it. It was probably as crude a game of baseball as has ever been played In America, but it struck us sock ball players all In a heap, espe- IT WAS the 5UBJ£CT OF Mr DRFAMS. daily me. Bad as it was, I grasped its possibilities right then and there and made up my mind that thereafter for me sock ball was out of the running. When I got home I found that father and my brother Sturgis, who was two years my senior and mighty handy with the ball, had also been witnesses of the game and were about as enthusiastic over it as myself. In fact, this awkwarj squad from New York state had Inoculated the whole town—in less than a month the baseball craze broke out like spring measles in an orphan asylum. I don't mind telling you that I got the biggest dose of all, a dose from which I have never recovered, and probably never shall. It didn't take the Anson family long to pick up what there was to be learned about the game of baseball aa it was played at that time. For my part, I made it my chief business by day, and it was the subject of my dreams when I slept. Father and Sturgis were almost as devoted to it as myself, but after a while the old gentleman "came back" long enough to realize that I was loading up my system with baseball to the exclusion of everything else. Although he had not absorbed enough book lore In his early day to fit him for a college professor, he vowed he wouldn't have his sons grow up to be a couple of numskulls, and he called us In one day to have a serious talk. "I don't believe you boys can figure long division," he began as a cheerful Introduction. "I can," declared Sturgis promptly. "It"s no trick at all for me." "How about you, Adrian?" he continued, fixing me with a look that I knew meant business. I squirmed a little, but it was no use. I knew perfectly well that I couldn't do an example in long division to save my hide, and I also knew better than to put up any claim that I couldn't make good. 8o it was decreed that we should start right in and prepare ourselves to enter the State university. It was not a job to my liking, but I saw no way to escape it. I got out my books and soon found that my taste hadn't developed any since I laid them down. All that summer I put up a mild bluff over the book problem, but I took mighty good care that the baseball feature of my education shouldn't be neglected. At the entrance examinations that fall the Anson boys were conspicuous only for what they didn't know. If the fellows who got up those question papers had been hired especially to select a list of subjects thai had never come within the range ofr the Ansoni family they couldn't have done a better job. As a result we escaped goingi to the State university by a big margin. I don't mind telling you that we were tickled to death over the outs-1 come, but our rejoicing was soonf turned into fresh trouble. Father made up his mind that we should have some* sort of an education even If the Statei university didn't take kindly to the scheme. So he sent us to Notre Dame university, at South Bend, Ind., an Institution that had a reputation of being able to instruct boys when all other attempts had failed. When we wer« made acquainted with the plan we felt that everything was over with us w» had heard of Notre Dame and tho methods in vogue there, and we believed that no Anson could thrive under such treatment. If we had been starting for the reformatory on that day when we bade goodby to Marshalltown and baseball, we couldn't hava been more depressed. Contrary to our expectations, w® found the Indiana school very much to wr liking. About the first thing thafc was asked us on our arrival waa whether we played ball, and when my brother, who acted as the Anson spokesman, confessed to a mild fondness for the sport, we were given tha glad hand ail around and taken into full fellowship with the other boys. After a day or two we were given a chance to show what we could do, and* our performance was so good that wa soon became two of the most popular boys in the school. Naturally we began to think we had made a greab mistake in our opinion of Notre Dame. We really put in a very happy winter at school. There were lakes in tha vicinity and the skating was mighty fine. We were expected to do a reasonable amount of studying, but w« were encouraged to take as much outdoor exercise as we could get, and 6 always filled the bill nobly in that respect. I don't mind telling you that didn't astonish anybody with scholarship that winter, but I stood A* No. 1 with the fellows, especially those who liked play better than books. Both Sturgis and myself were glveft places on the university nine, and we certaintly got good marks for our work In that direction, even if those we received in our classes were not quite satisfactory. When we returned home the following June Marshalltown was in a fever of excitement over baseball. Father seemed to be the moving spirit in the craze, and he actually appeared to be more delighted with the progress we had made as members of the Juani^s at Notre Dame than with the flattering report of our attention to business which the good fathers had sent after us. At that time Sturgis played a. slightly better game thau myself, being more speedy between bases and also showing better judgment. Later, however, he strained one of the tendons of his right arm and never afterword recovered good enough use of it to excel in baseball. It was a great blow to him, and to all of us, tor that matter, but he bore it manfully and turned his attention to other things. That left a clear field for me, and I don't mind telling you that I jumped right in and took possession. Father was so gratified over the fact that his sons had actually gone to school an entire year without being expelled or even suspended that he permitted mo to take my fill of sports, and 1 didn't need very hard urging. I didn't realize it hen, but I know now that tha old gentleman was tickled to death to have some one with whom he could work off a little of -the enthusiasm for sport that was his in spite of his age. He was always ready for a game of almost any kind, and I seldom, If ever, knew him to let business interfere. And right here, now that I have a chance, I want to say that the founder of Ma«shalltown was an athlete of no ordinary ability. He was a crack shot, a mighty handy man with the ball for those days and a billiard player who was regarded as remarkable by those who came in contact with him. I had learned to play billiards when quite a small boy, having free access to the old-fashioned table In the Anson house whenever it was not otherwise occupied. After a while I got so proficient that not only could I beat the old gentleman nine times out of ten, but could play a better game than any of the traveling men who stopped at the Anson house. In fact, every form of sport came to me naturally I seemed to inherit it. Father was a sport if ever there wae one, and as honest as he was enthusiastic. He was the squarest sport I ever saw, and anything that savored of crookedness met his stern disapproval. TO BK CONTINUED. Bonano IN SICKNESS Eureka. 111., March 11-11.

KROEGER, Proprietor, Exira, la. HER LOST POEM Abigail Baxter, then, was an old maid. She was thirty-six. She had had no romance In her lift and as far as her closest friends knew .'she didn't want one. There were no weak spots Jn her character. She wrote poems pnd sent them away to publishers, but as they were always rejected that didn't weaken her case. One particular poem—composed on a rainy, dreary day, when all nature wept and sobbed and old maids could sit in the house with their hair down and be sure there would be no callers—was a poem on love. It wasn't such a poem as is usually written, telling of the joyousness of the sentiment and the delights of rambles with Cupid, but it was a satire—a datnp, Chilly malarial satire. It was meant to reduce the market price of love by $0 per cent. It was meant to warn •he young man of twenty and scare the old man of seventy. It took up the sentiment of love in sixteen Verses and showed beyond cavil that there was a heap more money in raising squabs or running a boarding house. So far as Miss Abigail went that poem was a success. She enveloped, put in return postage and mailed it to a magazine. Two weeks. No answer. Four weeks. No answer. Then Miss Abigail Baxter sat down as she had done on several previous occasions and berated the magazine man. If he hadn't read that poem and made up his mind to accept or reject by this time then he was no hustler. He had no right to keep people waiting. He needn't think he was a tin god because he was a magazine man. The letter was a satire as well as the poem. The editor answered back that he had rej acted the poem after reading the first verse on the day of Its arrival and had at once remailed it. He could also write satire. Miss Abigail Baxter was aroused. She was determined to have it back at any cost of blood and treasure. She wrote to that editor again as only a strong woman thirty-five years' old can write. If he had remailed the poem it would have reached her. If that poem, which hadn't one single fault, and the man who said it had was not a respecter of truth, was not In her hands at the end of two .weeks suit for damages would be begun. She was no worm of the dust to be walked on, and so that editor would discover. He replied that the suit would have to come, but warned her that she would surely be beaten. The redheaded office boy clearly remembered taking that rejected poem to the postofflce on a certain day and hour. Miss Abigail's answer to this was brief. She simply took her pen in hand to say that she would at once put the case in the hands of a lawyer who could not be bluffed nor bribed and instruct him to carry it clear to the Supreme court at Washington, if necessary. The worm had been patient. The worm had suffered. The worm had asked only for justice. Now the worm had turned, and if a certain man ended his dayB behind the cold iron bars she must be held blameless—that is, the worm must. Few poets in this world can bluff a magazine editor. They are engaged because they are good at bluffing other folks. Mr. Nichblson, the editor in this case, had turned down poets by the score and never got a knockout in return. In this case, however, he became alarmed. H1B curiosity was also arouaed. He was an old bachelor of thirty-eight and something seemed to tell him that this waB the crucial point in his life. He was served with a legal summons to appear in court and he put on his hati and went down to Roseland to see1 Miss Baxter. He expected asperity,1 acidity, aggression and lots of other things, but at the same time hoped' against it. As soon as Miss Baxter learned, who her caller was she expected denials, assertions, protestations, defiance and other things belonging to the profession of magazine editing, but wished it might not be so. "I am sorry that this has come about," began the editor in pacific tones. "And so am I." "I must beg yo«r pardon for the way I wrote you." "And I said more than I should." "Anger drove me to criticise your poem. I did it an injustice. The trouble with it was that it was too lengthy." "I was afraid of that when I sent it" "Miss Baxter, I believe you can write a poem on love as it is. I wish you would. I should be glad to publish it. Make it the most holy and blessed sentiment of the human heart." "I will try." That law suit never came off, but a poem was written and published. Mr. Nicholson also frequently found his way down to Roseland. Poems and love were discussed. The lost poem didn't turn up, but it was never even mentioned. Within a year Miss Abigail Baxter was Mrs. Nicholson and independent 6f all postoffices. Then He Got a Pound or Two. Mother—Mercy, child, what In the, jwerld has happened to you?

During a Friday afternoon lecture on history in a Baltimore educational institution the instructor had given a lengthy disquisition on the character of George Washington, incidentally touching upon his work as the organizer of the revolution. "Now," asked the instructor, "if George Washington were alive today, what practical part do you think he would play in present-day politics, judging from the past?" A prolonged silence on the part of the pupils followed this. Finally, however, one lad saw a way out. "Sir," he queried, "wouldn't he be too old?"—Llppincott's. Believed In Practice. "Do you wish to go to church this evening? Father is going to preach, you know," the minister's fair daughter said. The young man considered. "Uml The last time I went he rather fell on some of my small failings. Do you know what his text will be tonight?" "Yes 'Love One Another.'" He regarded the round pink cheek approvingly. "Suppose," he suggested, softly, "that we let the old gentleman go preach, while we sit out on the porch and practice?"—Llppincott's. Very Considerate. "I suppose, Jennie, you wouldn't want to go to the concert Wednesday in your old hat?" "You dear thing—I couldn't possibly think of showing myself in it." "That's what I thought, so I—" "What?" "Bought only one ticket to the concert."—Meggendorfer Blaetter. No Inducement. Stranger—Hadn't you better put a "danger" sign on the thin ice?

"Good gracious! What's the matter?" asked the caller. "I thought you were receiving today. Why didn't the maid tell "3fe you were 111?" "I'm not 111, Georgia, and I heartily •wish I wasn't in," came Amy's despondent voice from, the depths of the sofa [pillows. "Well, If you don't wish to see me, of course—" "Oh, I'm always glad to see you." Amy raised herself on her elbow and then sank back onto the couch with an exaggerated air of weakness. "I'm only "wilted, that's all. I'm so completely covered with chagrin that I can't rise. With that she rose and said' dramatically: "If some khid fate had taken me out today I would not have been home to make a complete Idiot of myself." "I suppose you know what you are talking about," remarked Georgia, "but you leave me in the dark." "Wait till you hear the story and then you will cease to wonder at my present abject condition. "About ten days ago," related Amy, "I reoelved a letter from my cousin, Billy Spencer, telling me that a friend of his, a Mr. Gilmore, was in Chicago Btudying law, and he asked me to be nice to him. 'He's going along on his own account,' Billy wrote, 'for hit father hasn't any sympathy with his legal ambitions. But he's sure to make good, for he's a fine, bright fellow, and his only fault is a little shyness. He needs bringing, out and you're the one to do it, Amy.' "Of course, that flattered me, and I determined to become young Gilmore's Social guide, philosopher and friend. I sent him a note telling him that I was at home Fridays, afternoon and evening. I asked him to call very toon, as I considered any close friend of Cousin Billy's a friend of mine." "Surely, that was very nice," commented Georgia. "Yes, I was trying to be nice to ilm," sighed Amy. "Well, he came this afternoon. When we had spoken of Cousin Billy and I had asked him how he liked Chicago there came a pause that I knew could only be filled with tea, so I told our maid, Helga, to bring some at once. 'Do you take cream and sugar?' 1 Inquired. 'No, I prefer it straight,' he said so jauntily that for a happy moment I congratulated myself that I had succeeded in putting him at his ease. He took one swallow from the cup I gave him and then to his horror and mine it crashed to the floor. "While he choked and sputtered, I suddenly became conscious of a horrible burning sensation on my lips, to which I had just lifted my cup when the crash came. 'It's ginger' I cried. 'Yes,' he answered, with tears in ibis eyes. "At that moment Helga reappeared iand announced calmly that she thought she had brought in the wrong teapot. Then I knew I had given poor Mr. Gilmore some of my grandmother's hot ginger brew which she occasionally takes in small but concentrated doses for her cold. "I don't know which was the more embarrassed, he. tr I, while Helga picked up the fragments of the cup and mopped.the floor. I tried to explain laughingly how the ginger happened to be substituted for the tea, but evidently the humor of the situation did not strike him, for he said, very solemnly, 'I'm extremely sorry about the cup.' "I was gaylj assuring him that one cup more or less didn't in the least matter, when to my astonishment and despair, Helga rose from the floor and said: 'Miss Amy, you make big mistake. Your mudder have told me the cups cost very much. She say I must be very careful. I now tell her I have not break this cup. Then she sailed from the room with a righteous air." "What did you do?" "I said with a weak effort at lightness, 'Isn't she droll?' and then I laughed. But there was no response to my merriment. My oaller sat still and solemn and I could think of nothing in the world to say. "At last in desperation ,1 asked him if he noticed the odor of gasoline In the room. 'It seems to me very strong in here,' I said. My mother will Insist on oleaning the ourtalns with the stuff, but I detest it/ "He rose with a stiff new dignity and said: 'I'm afraid It's my neoktle that offends you. I cleaned it with gasoline this morning. Goodby.' "I was so overcome that I could only mumble, 'Goodby' in my turn. Then he walked out of the room, leaving me In the state of collapse in which you found me a few minuteB ago." "There's only one consolation about that tragic tale," said Georgia. "He's evidently the kind of serious minded young man who'll make his way without needing much help from anybody." "Maybe that's so,1' returned Amy "but I wanted to be nice to him, and I know he can never be induced to come here again. And what's more, I never want him to come back!" An Optimist. "What an optimist Green Is!" "Yo° every time he loses bis umbrella ue never worries. He always «xp*ota to pick up a better one." W His Wife's Brother's Wife Some men—most men, the cynics have it—may adore their wives properly and yet not be blind to the fact that in the world are other attractive women. Tunsley was an exception. Any of his acquaintances could have assured you that If the earth had suddenly been depopulated of its feminine inhabitants, with the exception of Mrs. Tunsley, he would have gone right on blissfully unaware of the fact. Tunsley came to Chicago on business. The second day he dutifully telephoned his wife's brother's wife, who informed him that her husband was away on business. "Then you must come downtown and have dinner with me," said the sympathetic Tunsley. "And, say, we'll do the auto show afterward!" "Oh, how nice!" said his wife's brother's wife. "I haven't been anywhere since Tom's been gone!" Thus it came about that Tunsley found himself placidly dining that evening at one of the fashionable cafes with his relative while they discussed family gossip. Suddenly his wife's brother's wife spoke. "What a horrid man!" she murmured. "Why should he keep staring over here in that condescending wdy?" "Where?" inquired Tunsley, looking. "Oh," he said, "that's Samson—a business acquaintance of mine here!" He bowed cheerfully to Samson. "I wonder why he doesn't oome over and be sociable." Something about Samson's smile distracted Tunsley. Then he became slowly aware that his wife's brother's wife across the table was really not so old as she might have been and that her apparel was decidedly becoming. Tunsley also found as he stared at her that she was good to look upon, though why Samson's smile should have made him discover this was to him a mystery. When Samson strolled over to the next table but one to speak to somebody and studiously kept his baok turned on Tunsley and his companion Tunsely felt a sudden rush of embarrassment. It was quite plain that Samson thought he didn't want to be seen! "John," said his wife's brother's wife at this point, "was there ever apoplexy in your family? Your face is so red that It's purple!" "Either apoplexy or smallpox—I forget which," mumbled Tunsley. "Let's hurry to the auto show." "Oh, what a stunning car!" said Tunsley's wife's brother's wife some time later, pausing before an exhibit. "Look John!" "Yes, yes," said Tunsley, uneasily as he edged away. "There's a much nicer one over here!" His companion refused to move, standing entranced before the machine of her dreams. What Tunsley's awakened fears had dreaded soon happened. The exhibit In question was from his home city and the man in charge knew him and spied him. He descended on the unhappy victim with outstretched hand. "Hello, John, old man!" he cried, gayly. Then he glanced at his companion. "My sister, Mrs. Urgrum-m-m, Mr. Mummsmm," muttered Tunsley "I am very glad to meet you," said the man in charge, impressively. He was a good-looking man and there was a surprised twinkle in his left eye which infuriated Tunsley. He continued to smile on Tunsley's wife's brother's wife. "I'm glad," he said, "that John told me you are his sister! I didn't know he had a sister in Chicago! It's lucky, because I'm a friend of Mra. Tunsley's and I was going to run straight to her when I got home and tell her how shockingly John acts when he gets away from home! Ha! Ha! Good Joke!" "Har! Har!" barked Tunsley, hollowly, his face crimson. Somehow he had the awful suspicion that the man in charge doubted his word. But his wife's brother's wife only laughed with tho man and offered no soothing word of explanation. She seemed to regard it as a joke and Tunsley felt cold prickles creeping up his spine. If only his wife's brother's wife had had the common sense to be ten years older or to have boles in her gloves or to talk about getting home to the children! But she didn't. She had the time of her life wandering among the exhibits Tunsley met exactly seven other persons who knew him at home and every one of the seven beamed at him with the same lurking twinkle when he Introduced his wife's bather's wife. "Thank you eo much, John," said hia wife'? brother's wife whan finally she let him take her home. "I've had a perfectly beautiful time! When ^ra you oomlng again?" "When?" eohoed Tunsley, mopping his still fevered brow. "I thluk I may be in Chicago again in about twentyfive years!" Literal.

THE TEMPEST Mrs. Joyce had been suffering all day with one of her severe headaches. Also a neighbor had called and had taken three hours to tell that she had Been another neighbor's husband walking with a blonde person that she just knew must bo his stenographer. Also Johnnie had fallen through the ice, and in her nervousness in getting him to bed she had spilled a cup of tea on her best down quilt. Taking everything into account, she felt that she had had a pretty bad day, but she bore patiently all through the dinner Joyce's rapid fire conversation and his bubbling good humor. It was only when the meal was over and her husband whistled the chorus of "Yip-I-Addy" five times in five different keys, each one shriller than the one before, that she raised her hands and said, "Louis, please stop that awful noise." "Noise?" exclaimed Joyce, surprised. "Why, my dear, don't you feel well?" "No, I don't, but a person might feel well and still not care for your whistling." "What Is it—another of your beastly headaches? It must be pretty bad. I used to be called a fine whistler." "Then you must have been raised In a very untruthful community." 'Now I know your headache must be awful. You are looking mighty mean, too." "Go ahead and abuse me as much as you please. I suppose I can stand it." Mrs. Joyce was beginning to feel very badly treated. Joyce looked at his wife in astonishment. Then he tried again. "What 1b the matter? Is your mother coming?" "Louie Joyce!" If she had imagined before that she had cause for anger she knew it now. "I know you do not care for poor dear mamma, but that is no reason why you should think I will sit by and let you talk of her as you please." "Why, for the love of Pete, what did I say about your mother? I only asked if she was coming again. You know you were all tired, out and worried the last time she sent word she waB coming." Joyce was getting discouraged, but he was determined to make peace if possible. "No, mamma is not coming. Now, go ahead and grin. You might at least have manners enough to conceal your pleasure at the news. You are just as cruel as you can be, and "For goodness sake ring off, Esther!" Joyce was getting irritated. "Yes. yes, that's right. Get slangy and insulting. I'll try to bear it." Mrs. Joyce was feeling like a martyr. "You'll try to bear it? What have you to bear?" "Oh, nothing. Of course you are an angel, and suppose I am the reverse." "Yes, that's about right," acquiesced Joyce, trying desperately to get a smile from her. "Everybody says "So you have be«rti discussing me, have you? Oh, you are cruel! I'm going back to majnma this very night!" Mrs. Joyce rushed from the room. Joyce followed in a leisurely way. He found her in her room, throwing her clothing around on the bed and chairs. "Here, let me heir you." Then Joyce, with a twinkle in his eye, which his wife did not see because she persistently refused even to glance at him, began placing her things carefully, neatly and quickly in her trunk. Mrs. Joyce gazed in horror for a minute at his back as he stooped over the trunk. Then she turned with apparent indifference, but with a smothered sob, and walked to the dresser. There with painstaking carelessness she powdered her nose with sachet powder. Joyce grinned expansively into the trunk. Then he turned and said seriously: "Weil, she's packed and I'll ship her In the morning." Me went over and helped his wife put on her coat and followed her nonchalantly down the stairs and to the door. He had felt all along that his wife did not really mean te go, but now, as she put her hand on the knob, he became apprehensive. As she opened the door and was about to pass out he felt a quick pain at his heart that took his breath for a minute. For It dawned on him in a flash that be had been cruel. Hia. wife had been sick and he had teased and angered her Instead of sympathizing with her. In an imstant he was all contrition. He reached out and took the door knob from her fingers and, drawing her inside, closed the door. Mrs. Joyce looked into his eyes and what Ae saw there broke down her pride and opened the flood gates. Somehow—she never could tell just how—she was in his arms, her head on his shoulder, crying unrestrainedly, while he was soothing and petting her in his tenderest way. When the worst of the storm had passed, she looked up and Bald: "Oh, Louie, you didn't care a bit about my going, and it hurt so!"

COULDN'T GET BEST OF HIM .How One of the Old-Time Yankee Peddlers Made a Trade In a t::Southern Town. The genuine Yankee peddler passed out of existence with the creation of the "notion store," but he was a most Interesting character, astonishingly j"Bharp," and frequently amusing. One 'such appeared In a general store in a southern town on one occasion, deposited his pack on the floor, and reImarked to the merchant: I "1 guess I oouldn't drive a trade I with you, colonel?" "I reckon you calculate Just about right!" was the decided reply of the merchant, who had "had dealings" with Yankee peddlers on previous oo casions. "Get out!" "O, well, don't get riled up—no harm done. Now, Just look at this dozen genuine razor strops, easy worth three dollars—let you have 'em for two dol |lar, colonel." "I wouldn't touch any of your trash i—you get out I "the merchant declared "Well, now, colonel, I always like ito do some business in a place. Tell you what—I'll bet you five dollars that if you make me an offer for them strops, we'll make a trade." "I'll go you," said the merchant, :"and," he added, when the stakes had jbeen put up, "I'll give you a quarter ifor the strops!" I "They're yourn, colonel!" said the Yankee, pocketing the wager.

"My goodness," said Mrs. Oldcastle, *1 can't understand how anyone ever Is able to muster up enough courage or daring or whatever it is to go flying on an aeroplane. There is nothing In the world that could induce me to travel on one, no matter how safe they make them." "Yes, it's perfectly awful the way folks risk their lives," replied her hostess as she rubbed an $8,000 solitaire on her velvet sleeve. "I really think a good many peopte go crazy over them kind of things. When I waB & girl I went to see a man who went up in a balloon and came down on his parasite, and it affected me so I never want to see anything of that kind again as long as I live." Clumsy Compliment. He was a flatterer, but a clumsy one. Noting that the girl of his heart possessed beautiful teeth that shone like ivory, he ventured to pass a com? pliment. "Dearest," he whispered, leaning over the musio rack, "your teeth are like piano keys." Freezing him with an icy glance, she turned on her heel. "Sir, how dare you Insult me." "Insult you?" "Yes, Insinuate that my teeth are as large as piano keys." And without another word she left the parlor, leaving him crestfallen and bewildered. The Faithful Nurse.

"I've one fault to find with the poets," said the finical boarder. They rhyme such words as 'tire* and lire' with 'higher,' and yet when they're not using them for rhyming purposes they consider them words of One syllable." The Reason. "How did you ever happen to call your little daughter Dagmar?"
