Liberal Donations Doctors New on aud Oldaker, the President and Secretary of our Booster Club solicited the business men for funds with which to again organize the Exira Concert Band and to put on Saturday night concerts in our little oity. The Concerts a the past yeais hare been highly appreciated by nearly everyone. We say nearly, because the crowds that came to town Saturday evenings would fill the stores before returning home and the excep~fcion would be the clerks, who were usually detained to wait on tne trade. From this point, it's hard on the .clerks but pleasant to the proprietor. -As all great events that calls the peopie from country to town whether for '•^amusement or for business must be afforded the proper treatment, we natursally expect selfish motives to be cast -aside and an extra hour devoted to the •'-comfort of the customer and to the .. profit, of the employer. Wo learn the sum raised is inadequate for the services required but perhaps a few more dollars can be raised for the purpose and it may be that the band boys,—no 'we won't ask the dear boys to blow their heads for less than they usually got on former occasions so trusting in the generosity of a liberal hearted pub'•, lie we hope the amount needed will MOD be raised. Later, the amount necessary been raised. it S •Bit Scores of letters are received daily relative to t.he new law, and concerning the an ount of taxation on each Auto. Copies of this law is sent on »ppicat:on. Preparations are made for .be handling of 30,000, the number ws ed in tbe state by her citizens. ACCREDITED SCHOOL Exira High School Is Now An Accredited School. Her Graduates Will Be Admitted Into State Institutions Without Examinations. May 30, 1011 Supt. J. L. Harper: It gives me pleasure to report to you that on recommendation of the Board on Secondary School Relations and approval of the faculties of the three state institutions of higher learning at Iowa City, Ames and Cedar Falls, Exira High School has been recognized as an accredited school. Graduates of your school will be received without examination and without conditions by the state institutions of higher learning, so far as credits certified meet the specific requirements of the courses to which entrance is sought. Your school •will be entitled to an honor scholarship each year, goodj for a full four-year college course in any one of the State institutions. Any other privileges or benefits extended to auy accredited school in the state under tho present arrangement will be exteuded to your school. You are familiar with the plan outlined for the grouping of High Schools for administrative purposes, asset out in bulletin, No. 1. For the present, this plan will not be carried out in full. But two groups will be maintained. Groups land II will be treated as a singlo group under the requirements set out for Group II. Logically your school will fall in •Group III- You will understand that this is in no sense a reflection upon your school and no discrimination against it. It will have all privileges extended to the largest schools. Accrediting, however, will extend for but a single year at a time, following the custom of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in dealing with all its accredited institutions. Very Respactfulty, Forest C.

In Other Words A Sermon Delivered To A Graduating Class At The Christian Church Sunday Night. The Christian Church was crowded to its utmost capacity last Sabbath evening to listen to a Baccalaureate Sermon prepared by its pastor, Rev. Sackville M. Smith. The discourse was an able exposition of what has been accomplished by the students so far of what will come in the future, •Dd how to meet the problems of life as they appear. The necessity of a good education to properly prepare for any of the hazards that continually beset the footsteps of the young and tbe old alike. The Fermoij was full of good thot and excellently delivered and riveted the attention of tbe hearers to the last. THE CLASS PLAY At The Knights Of Pythias Hall Tuesday Evening Was Very Largely Attended. Scarcely Standing Room. The graduating class gave their play to the public Tuesday evening and it was received with plaudits from the audience. "Miss Fearless & Co" in three acts was a mirth maker from start to finish. Flora Belle Houston as Miss Margaret Henley, an Heiress acted her part as natural and with as much ease as tho' she were a professional. Winnie lone Heath as Miss Euphemia Addison, the Chaperon of Mips Henley was carried out in spirit. Clara Gault Powoll ae Miss Sarah Jane Lovejoy from the Lost Nation delighted the audience with her witty remarks. She acted her part well. Dean a E. Hensley as Katie O'Conner, Miss Henley's servant acted the part of Bridget as though she was born in Ireland. Ora B. Hicks, Muriel M. Koob and Ethel I. Bisom as Miss Henley's guests—three school girls from the village were out for a lark and they acted their parts to perfection. Ellowene Dimick as Cizzie'' the Ghost acted her skillfully. Harvey Jensen as Miss Alias and Frank H. Hall as Miss Alibi, the Silent Sisters were tho mirth provokers of the Company. Their antics and their gestures were in harmony with their parts and brought down the house. "Just part CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR Christian Endeavor messenger Announce And Gives Program of Convention To Be Held In Macedonia. The 19th Annual Convention of this the Seventh District Iowa Christian Endeavor 1'iiion will bo held in Macedonia Iowa on June (, 7 and 8, 1911. An unusually .strong program has been arranged with some of the best leaders and speakers. Directions say: Decide to go then work up a crowd. Free entertainment for all out of town visitors. IIow to reach Macedonia is by the C. R. 1. & P. to Avoca and change to the Burlingten at Carson. Come over into Macedonia and Help us. At M. E. CHURCH Rev. John Harned Delivered A Fine Discourse To The Survivors Of The Spanish Ameriem Wars. The Memorial Services of the Grand Army of the Republic and Spanish War Volunteers were held in the M. E. Church last Sunday, Itev. John Harned officiating. On account of Ule bad condition of tho roads following a steady down pour of rain which lasted all Saturday night not many were in from the country but all the members were there from town and the seats were pretty well taken up. The discourse ably portrayed the call to arms, the duty to their country, the service in the field, the discharge, home again by many while thousands never returned. The hand of omnipotence ever watchful over the welfare of the country. The respect the nation now has for those who wore the Blue aud the Gray. The death rate now about two thousand each month. A fow years and all will be over on earth. Are you prepared for the migration of tho soul? The choir was in fine form and showed thorough preparation of the selections which were given. At the close of the services the Corps were lined up and everyone shook the hands of the Old Comrades as they passed out, realizing that not many more times can this be done with all present. Luther Hencdey wai a skoppef la Atlantic Wednesday, REPUBLICAN We suppose the proposed Canadian reciprocity treaty as being detrimental to the farming interests of the country and we pledge the nominee of this Convention to oppose the adoption of said reciprocity measure and urge our United States Senators to use their influence and all honorable means to prevent the passage of said measure. We denounce the proposed free list of the democratic house of representatives as a measure injurious to the interest of American industry and dangerous alike to farm and shop. No other resolutions were adopted by the republicans except that the principles contained in the last national platform were endorsed. JUDGE GREEN Farmers Are You Prepared For Canadian Reciprocity. It's Alright East but Not ror Iowa. Audubon County docs not look upon the Candidacy of Judge Green, whom bis party—not faction—has brought out to represent the Ninth Congressional District in Congress, A8 DOES CASS COUNTY. The Judge came to this County a poor man, and by his integrity has riseu from a partnership in a law firm, to that of Judge of the District Court. By his strict attention to business, and always with the thought of curtailment of courts, expenses and, too, with decisions rendered according to the evidence in each case regardless of personal likes or dislikes, we have proven his manhood, his honesty, his Integrity, his ability AND BY THKSK VIRTUES WE KNOW HIM. For 15 years he haa occupied his present positiou and always by a larger vote than his party cast. His clear conservative methods won for him their admiration, their trust in him has NEVER ISEK.V IIETKAYKP. He stands today firmly on the platform of his party (not faction) pquarely against reciprocity wiih Canada which he believes will cheapen everything Iowa farmers raise. TWO OLD VETERANS Civil War Fighter, The Kind That Insisted That Our Union Be Perpetuated Tho' Enemies Assail Two veterans of the Civil War, Win, Bintner and John Scott from Atlantic, who had not Been each other for more than four years, metiti the Exchange Bank, Friday, May 25th. The Subject of War was brot up and Mr. Scott said, ''William, fifty yeara have elapsed since yon and I were boys, when the 12th and 2nd Iowa touched elbows, made the charge in and took Fort Donaldson. The Hornet's Nest at the Battle ot Shilob was recalled, where those two regiments again touched elbows. The conversation had to be, but too brief, as the hack for tho train drove up, and after a warm handshake between the two veterans, Mr. Scott departed for his home.

HOW THE PARTIES STAND ON RECIPROCITY RESOLUTIONS OF NINTH DISTRICT CONVENTIONS DEMOCRATIC We commend the democratic house of representatives upon its support and passage of the bill providing for reciprocal trade relations with Canada. Fair reciprocity has always been a democratic doctrine and while the pending trade agreement originated with a republican president. the democratic members of the house recognized in it a measure which, while not perfect, opens the way for better trade relations and the extension of the American markets, have patriotically given it their support. They have thus demonstrated to the country that they will place patriotism above party advantage and support any meritorious measure which has for its object the purpose of lightening the burdens resting upon the common people. SIR. CLEVELAND A Fine Gentleman, A Scholar And A Person Whom Every One Would Delight To Honor. Mr. Cleveland, the nominee of the Council Bluffs Democratic Convention of recent date is as fine a man as any one could wish to meet. A perfect gentleman in manners, a scholar, and one who would make a fine appearing and influential representative. But while Mr. Cleveland is all this, and more, is he not at this time representing a principal that is vital and dangerous to the farming interests of Iowa'.' This-question must not be lost sight of in your decisions at the Polls next Monday. Canadian Reciprocity means, if it means anything, cheaper farm products, but uot cheaper labor and old Iowa a dumping ground for the products of the cheap lands of Canada. Voto intelligently* voters regardless of party or faction. GRADUATION Lillie F. Hansen, Ethel Knudsen, Clarence R. Nelson and James 0. Hansen Graduated From District School. On hist Monday evening at the school in the A. P. Hansen distriot was held tho first Commencement Exercises of this school. There was a class of four graduates, two boys and two girls. After listening to tne program and later examining the hand work done in this school wo are convinced that these young people have been trai ned in their grade work along the lines of re directed education, a training in the three IPs, namely Head, Hand and Heart. Surely the directors ot this school are keenly alive to the fact that education has taken a new trend and has a wider range than ever before, that it has come to mean the training of the whole being so that he may be able and gladly willing to meet all of life's responsibilities. The program was most excellent from beginning to finish, showing careful drill on part of teacher and friends. Tile graduates delivered their orations in a masterly way for ones of their years, and the keynote of the whole program was work and character or in other words a well-rounded life. By invitations the Co. Supt. was present and made a short talk to patrons and class, these remarks were followed by presentation ol diplomas by the State Supt. of Church Schools, who in his closing remarks urged up the class the realization that character should be the major aim of life. Of the faithful teacher who has so conscientiously labored with these pupils during the last year we would say she is close to the ideal of the great educator who said: "A teacher is one who has Head enough and Heart enough and Time enough and Liberty enough to be a Master in the Kingdom of Life. We understand that next year there will be added another year's work to the course of study and also another teacher will be added to the faculty. Names of Graduates Lillie F.

Mr. William Masterson haa bought a new Brush auto and after a little practice will take his place in the procession and try out the River to River Road for a few miles that lie between here and his fine farm up in Greeley. We don't know of anyone who wiil eDjoy autoing more than Uncle William. He no doubt will take comfort with this Dew vehicle and many idle hours will be enjoyed visiting at the old home in Greeley and calling on old neighbors. The drive to the farm with horses usually took an hour and a half but tbe auto way of doing things will cut the trip to thirty minutes and perhaps less. It all depends bow Mr. MaBterson's bump of recklessness develops. VETERANS IN LINE Decoration Day Exercises At Exira A Great Success. The Church With Sympathizers Of The Fallen Heroes.

Saturday morning at 3 o'clock, a disastrous fire occured on the Peter Thuesen farm in Greeley towuship on which Chris Christensen is a renter. Mr. Christensen was awakened by the bright light and upon looking out saw the new barn all ablaze. He hastened to the scene only to find that five of his work horees were being consumed, but he managed to release one from the flames but not before it was very badly burned. All of his harness, grain, and about a carload of baled hay ready for shipment went up in eraoke. The baru, a granary and a separator house were completely burned up. The house was saved after it had caught fire in several places on the roof. In trying to save the house Mr. Christensen received sever* al severe burns. Two of the horses Chris had been offered $600 for onlv a short time ago. Mr. Christeneen had about $600 insurance on his horses while his loss is much more. Mr. Thuesen carried $750 on the barn while bis loss is perhaps as much more. HANS F. PETERSEN Beautifying A Store Is An Art Only Acquired By Few, See Petersen's Store When In Town. The men employed ia putting up tho new steel ceiling on the Croy and Bradley store buildings and accupied by II. P. Petersen, one of our general merchants, finished the Croy building and commenced ou the Bradley room Friday. Saturday being a very busy day in this store its a mixed question how the big trade will all be supplied. With a scaffold erected just high enough for a person to walk under covering the larger part of the store, on which half a dozen men are working and Hans, Peter. Henry and Knute waiting on the trade at their usual 50 miles an hour gait would indicate that parcels would be mixed up sotue. GOLDEN WEDDING Anniversary Of Mr. And Mrs. John Baumgartner Occured Last Friday May 26th. Mr. and Mrs. John Baumgartner, after living together for fifty years are as happy in each other's Company as when they first commenced housekeeping. Their neighbors and friends gladdened their hearts on this memorable Anniversary, by gathering together each with a basket well filled with, tbe delicacies ot life, and called on the old peaple as a surprise party. After the embarassment wore off the table was spread and an ever-tobe remembered hBppy titne was participated in. THE CONTEST ON Capital Explains Situation, Green Nominated By Standpatter, His Advice, Give Hearty Support To Judge Green. Lafe Young in tho Capitalist Wednesday says: "The Republicans have nominated Judge Green in the Ninth District for Representative in Congress. a There is no charge of corruption against hiiu. The facts would seem to indicate that the Judge was nominated by Standpatters. It is not claimed that the Jiadge lias been [a Standpatter. He denies that he is a Progressive. He asserts that he is opposed to free trade with Canada. The convention took radical action in opposition to the proposed trade agreement with Canada and this ought to satisfy thestandpatters. Now the Progressives are either keeping still or are changing their minds and are ready to come back into the Republican, fold. Having licked the progressives out of their boots on their principles, and having carried tiie Ninth District against the Canadian Reciprocity we want to enquire 'Can tho Standpatters altbrd to defeat Judge Green'." Thwy nominated him. They had the opportunity to nominate a regular Standpatter. Having failed to^do so, CAN TUHY IIONORAHLY CO HACK ON THEIR ow.v wouivViOur advise is for them to heartily support Judge Green, •f.f ^*44', V}*t "*f "N OT s-nI !fiV* I ^•2'i tm. ',k

Christensen 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 faot. 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 I" 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 dismissed 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 way?" "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 come over and be sociable." Something about Samson's smile distracted Tunsley. Then he became .glowly 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 back 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 mow\ standing entranced before the ma chine 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 ine you arejils .sister! I didn't know he had a sister" in Chicago! It's lucky, because I'm a friend of Mrs. 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 brother's wife. "Thank you so much, John," said his wife's brother's wife when Anally she let him take her home. "I've had & perfectly beautiful time! When arc you coming again?" "When?" echoed Tunsley, mopping his still fevered brow. "I think I may be In Chicago again in about twentyfive years!" Literal.

HIS SOCIAL GUIDE When Georgia came into the room she found Amy on the oouch In an attitude of complete dejection. "Good gracious! What's the matter?" asked the caller. "I thought you were receiving today. Why didn't the maid tell me you were ill?" "I'm not ill, 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 kind 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." "Walt till you hear the story and then you will cease to wonder at my present abject condition. "About ten days ago," related Amy, "I received a letter from my cousin, Billy Spencer, telling me that a friend of his, a Mr. Gllmore, was in Chicago studying law, and he asked me to be nice to him. 'He's going along on his own account,' Billy wrote, 'for his 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 Gllmore's social guide, philosopher and friend. sent him a note telling him that I was at home Fridays, afternoon and evening. I asked him to call very soon, 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 Jim," sighed Amy. "Well, he cam* this afternoon. When we had spoken ot 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 his eyes. "At that moment Helga reappeared and announced calmly that she thought she bad brought in the wrong teapot. Then I knew I had given poor Mr. Gllmore 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, be^jor I, while Helga picked up the fragments of the cup and Jfiopped the floor. 1^ tried to explaln 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, Tm extremely sorry about the cup.' "I was gayly assuring him that on3 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 caller 6at still and solemn and I could think of nothing In the world to say. "At last in desperation I 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 cleaning the curtains with the stuff, but I detest it.' "He rose with a stiff new dignity Mid N said: 'I'm afraid it's my necktie that offends you. I cleaned it with gasoline this morning. Goodby." "I was so overcome that I could only mumble, 'Ooodby' In my turn. Then he walked out of the room, leaving me In the Btate of collapse in which you found me a few minutes ago." "There's only one consolation about that tragic tale," said Oeorgia. "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," 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.

The surface is smooth and handsome, a fine shade of gray, and best of all it is there to stay. This is only one feature of the Vulcanite roofing proposition.

VI & sTs I?*! it* kit" ftf' r- illS: "CAP" ANSON'S FORTY YEARS IN BASEBALL Dedicated to all my old comrade* and loven of the sport, who have made the game what it is today. tinue to "play ball" after we oldtimers have struck out for the last time. ADRIAN C. ANSON. ®°8K» bt, 1911, by the McClure Newspaper STndlctite it 'Britainand Cnn«u1a ivnr CHAPTER V. I Play My First Professional Game. Somehow or other I don't exactly kuow how I have gained the reputation of being a believer In baseball trickery. Now I don't deny that I have in my past career resorted to certain little innocent devices to make matters interesting, but I decline to stand for the various kinds of skullduggery on the ball ground that have been ascribed to me from away back. On one occasion, however, I must plead guilty to the charge of having made the attempt to deceive, and it •was no fault of mine that I failed to turn the trick. It was shortly qifter I tad signed with the Forest Citys, and If I had been detected in my attempt it might have been rather a serious handicap to my professional career. At that time rivalry ran high between the Des Moines and Clinton teams and both towns were worked up to a fever of excitement. For the time being baseball had become the chief interest in these enterprising Iowa cities. A match game was on between these rival teams. Every possible means to make its nine more efficient was being resorted to by each club, including some, perhapn, that wouldn't bear THE PROFESSOR SOQM I GOT BUSY, the light of day. An instance in point :was the offer to me to play with the Clinton team, with a bait of $50 attached to the tail of it. I was only a boy, and the money looked as big as mountain to me. Besides, I had no special affection for the Des Moines outfit, bearing In mind the tough itreatment we had been given when we recovered the trophy. Without taking itlme to consider I agreed to go into 'the game. It soon occurred to me that it would 'never do to play ball with the Clin!tons as A. C. Anson, member of the Forest Citys. It would be easy enough 'to pick up a name for the occasion, but my red poll and long legs were too familiar in state baseball to bubs unnoticed. It would be necessary for me to disguise myBelf. Right there I was up against a problem that kept me awake nights. One thing was clear—whatever I did in the way of disguise would have to be pulled off between the time 1 ileft home and train time. Finally I hit on a scheme that looked so good to me that I resolved to try It.. I would have my hair dyed just before taking the train for the capital. Of course every member of the Clinton club was sworn to eeoreoy, and I |bound_ the. Marahalltown barber with Case after case of new and nobby Spring Oxfords are being received daily at this store—A monster line to select from, representing the popular styles and desirable leathers. :. This line is adapted specially to the young men's trade and we extend a special invitation to investigate new spring models. $3.50....$4.00...,$4.50....$5.00 New Silk Hosiery for spring. .50c Nobby Neck Wear, attractive creations 50c E. D.Cotton an oath that made him turn pale as he repeated It after me. About an hour before train time I sneaked into the barber shop, and the professor soon got busy on his job. It was a matter of half an hour or so, pnd I kept warning him against leaving any traoes of the original Anson. When I rose from the chair and caught the.first glimpse of myself In the glass I saw that he had done as I had requested him to do. My hair, originally a sort of carroty blond, had been transformed into an Inky purple, with streaks here and there of what appeared to be a muddy green. Some of the dye had adhered to the upper part of my forehead, and the whole effect was ridiculous In the extreme. "Fine!" pronounced the professor, enthusiastically. "Your own father wouldn't know you." He was mistaken about that. Halfway between the barber shop and the station I came face to face with the old gentleman, and I saw at once by the perplexed and horrified look on his face that he recognized me all right. "What the have you been doing to yourself?" he demanded between a gasp and sputter. The jig was up. I had to confess, and the afterclap was both sudden and decided. "Get home as quick as you can. Don't let the grass grow under your feet!" was the verdict. There was nothing to do but do, and I did it. Afterward the old gentleman read me a lecture that I have never forgotten. His manner was most dignified and kindly, but his words struck home with lots of force. He pointed out to me that my conduct was dishonest and would be regarded so by the public. In fact, he made me so ashamed of myself that I have been pretty careful ever since to fight shy of shady transactions. I couldn't help feeling sad over the $50 that I didn't get, but afterward, when I came to think it all over, I was glad that I had failed. Getting rid of that hair dye and keeping the affair from becoming public property were altogether different matters. I shall never forget my first experience in my new position. I had been at Rockford only a day or so when I was ordered to report at the ball grounds for practice. It was early in the spring and so chilly that an overcoat was a necessity. I found when I reached the grounds that my ability as a batsman was -going to be tested, and as I took my stand on the plate I shivered as though I was coming down with the ague. It wasn't all due to the cold, either stage fright was responsible for part of it. Don't forget, please, that I was only a big kid, a stranger in a strange land, and that I was so anxious to make a first good impression that I was almost powerless. Facing me, with a sardonic look on his weather beaten face, was "Cherokee" Fisher, a man of whom I had always stood in the greatest awe, one of the best of the old time underhand pitchers. In the stand were the directors of the team, who were taking in with an eagle eye my every movement. It was a trying position for a greenhorn, and I could feel my knees knock together. I remember I had some trouble in picking out a bat that suited me. I was wondering all the time whether or not I should be able to hit the ball. Finally I gave the signal to let her go and Fisher began sending them in with his customary speed. I began by letting a couple go by. Then I sent one out into the right field, and that first hit put me square on my feet. After that I batted Fisher so successfully that everybody was satisfied and I was informed that I would do. I didn't know it at the time, but In after years I learned that the hit to the right field fence was considered the proper caper. My first game as a professional was played on the Rockford grounds in 1871, our opponents being the Forest City team of Cleveland, O., a strong organization that finished fourth that season on the list for championship honors, the Athletics of Philadelphia, with whom I was to play for the following four years, carrying oft the prize. I don't mind telling you that when that game began I was frightened almost out of my shoes. I had been Informed at the last minute that owing to the non-arrival of our regular catcher I would be expected to fill the place, something in which I had had little experience. We were beaten fey ^LH. a score of 12 fo 4, but I had the satisfaction' of knowing that I played a fairly good game. After that initial game I was never nervous over baseball. I settled down to play a steady game, and at the close of the season I led thn team both in batting and fielding. I learned more of the world and its inhabitants that season than I had ever known before. We traveled all over the east and west, and It was more instructive to me than all the schooling I had ever had. I made lots of friends all over the country and some of them were of great service to me in after days. We were treated very Well by the club managers, traveling In sleeping cars and stopping at good hotels. That was long before ball players had learned to demand the use of the bridal suite on their travels: and we did not grumble at two in a berth. CHAPTER VI. I Go to the Philadelphia Athletics. When I signed with the Forest Citys it was understood by the folks at home that at the end of the season I should go back to Notre Dame and do some studying. In fact, the old gentleman made that one of the conditions before he would consent to let me join the Rockford club. I don't remember what my original Intention was—I didn't usually think far enough ahead to have Intentions—but when the end of my first season of professional baseball arrived nothing short of a straltjacket could have taken me back to college. Sink or swim, I had cast my lot with the game and nothing on the little old planet was going to swerve me, now that my mind was made up. I had some reason to feel that baseball was a substantial proposition. On several occasions during the past season I had been approached by managers of various clubs with offers that seemed almost fabulous to my youthful mind. What I really wanted, and tried my best to get, was a position with the Chicago club, then under the management of Tom Foley, the veteran billiard room keeper. Tom took my application as a Joke, and finally Informed me that he was looking for players of reputation and not for schoolboys with the baseball bug. Although I didn't know It at the time— I was mighty sore over my failure to get to Chicago—It so happened that old Tom's turndown was one of the most fortunate things that ever came my way. The management of the Athletic club of Philadelphia had been keeping tab on my work with the Rockfords, and just before the close of the season I was offered the sum of $1,250 to play with that organization during the season of 1872. That offer looked mighty good to me. and 1 accepted with thanks. I didn't like to leave Rockford and the Forest. Citys, for I had found the people of the Hi tie Illinois city the squarest ever, but they couldn't afford to keep me, although I gave them the first show. They were not. certain that they would be- able to maintain a professional team any longer, and so I jumped at the Philadelphia offer. I don't remAnber just why, but I didn't think it necessary to consult the home folks before 1 attached my name with spread eagle flourish to the Athletic contract. When the old gentleman, who was running the Anson house, heard of it his preliminary remarks, I was told by a witness, were,' "Something awful."' Devoted as he certainly was to the game, he didn't relish my way of doing things, and my latent exploit seemed to him' like open rebellta: Long before I revisited Marshalltown, five years later, he had forgotten all about niy un- Go Slow rowth.

Late In the fall I said goodby to Rockford and went to Philadelphia with the purpose of making myself fit for the coming season of baseball as I could do the trick. All that winter I worked hard in the gymnasium, only occasionally playing billiards and taking In the sights of the great city as a relaxation. In spite of the fact that the season of 1871 had been the most prosperous In the history of baseball, there were many changes in the membership of the professional league. Some of the clubs had fallen by the wayside and there were several newcomers in the ranks. Conspicuous among the absentees was the Chicago club, which I had tried so hard to get into. The big fire of October, 1871, which nearly wiped the Queen of the Inland Seas off the map, left the city without a baseball organization. Had I succeeded in my attempt to break into the team I should have been stranded with the others. My old club, the Forest Citys of Rockford, was also among the missing, so that it seemed providential that I had gone to the City of Brotherly Love. At the opening of the regular playing season the Professional league had 11 teams on its list, but when the season was over only six were left to tell the tale. These were the Athletics of Philadelphia, the Baltimores, the Bostons, the Mutuals of New York and the Atlantlcs and Eckfords of Brooklyn. The first four of these were regularly salaried clubs, but the Brooklyn organizations were co-operative affairs. With the possible exception of the Bostons, the team of which I was a member in that season of 1872 was the strongest that had yet appeared on the diamond. I don't care to say that the acquisition of A. C. Anson had a mighty lot to do with this, but my record for that season showed that I played ball some. We were especially strong at the bat, for among the first eleven on the batting record that year we numbered six, the Bostons coming next with three, and the Baltimores following. I don't mind saying right here that in some respects we were a mighty sight stronger than the Bostons. It was their team work that put them in the front. So far they seemed to be about the only club In the country that realized the value of good team work in winning a championship. If more time and attention had been given to this vital point I feel certain that the Athletics would have topped the list that year. At the very first game we played with them I got wise to their strength and our weakness, and I made up my mind that if ever I got control of a nine I would make team work a feature. I didn't forget it either when I reached the managerial stage of my career. During that first season with the Athletics I played third base. The "Vhiladelphia folks, who had seen me play in that position with the Forest Citys, evidently thought I was at my best at third, and I had an idea at the time that it was my strong hold. Since most of the men In the Athletics' makeup that year remained with the club as long as I did and were my constant companions during four years' professional playing this will be a good place to name them. Fortunately for me I had got the diary habit and the books are still In uif possession. As I look over those NOT about selecting the feed you give your chicks Success depends much ©n this move.

Of course modesty compels me to make an exception of Anson, but I was learning to do a few entertaining stunts even at that early stage. Malone, catcher McBride, pitcher Mack, first base Flsler, second base Anson, third base McGeary, shortstop Cuthbert, left field Tracey, center field Meyerle, right field. Can you beat it? The first games I played with the Athletics were with the Baltimores, and I remember that our fielders didn't have a picnic by any means. The way those Maryland boys stood up to the racket made an Impression on me that I have never forgotten. At the close of the first game the score stood 34 to 19 in our favor and if there was any muscle In my make-up that didn't get into action on that occasion I have yet to learn its name and location. And all that was in spite of the faot that the ball was a "dead" one. It didn't seem to worry the others especially, but it was a real blow to my system when the Bostons carried off Um championship that year. They had played 49 games, wJning 38 and losing 11. We had taken part in 4G games, wining 30 and being beaten 16 times. The only consolation I had was to sit down and gaze fondly at my batting record. I had figured in 28 championship games and had finished fourth on the list of batsmen, with 47 base hits to my credit, an average of 1.67 to the game. Looking over the batting records of recent years, I don't find anything to make me blush over that early showing. v^*» iWi 1 CHAPTER VII. I Combine Baseball and Wild Oata. In the spring of 1873 our team started out with the united determination to give the Boston ehampls».is the struggle of their life to keep at the top of the list. All winter we had been preparing for the conflict, and we realized that in order to down the victors we must strengthen our weak places without damage to our strong ones. To accomplish this the management of the Athletics made a few changes in the make-up of the team. One of these was to put a new man named Fulton at third base, assigning me to shortstop. I suppose the Athletic folk had come to the conclusion that I was a sort of general utility man, playing equally well in any old position. I thought at the time they were mistaken, and I am of the same opinion still. You can take It from me that in baseball, as in most other professions, the jack-of-all-trades Is very apt to be master of none. Although we had a mighty strong team—stronger, I think, than that of the preceding season—we failed to make as good a showing as we did in 1872. The Boston folks had outgeneraled us in our effort to fortify ourselves and they had been more liberal with their "rhino." Altogether we played 50 games that season, winning 27 and losing 23. Out of the 14 exhibition games we won 12 and lost two. Those two lost games were the gall and wormwood of the whole business —they were won by a rival club which had come into being, the Philadelphlans, who had robbed us of two of our most famous players, Malone and Mack, and had started business with the avowed intention of wiping us off the map. Take it straight from me that the staid citizens of "old Phillie" were tickled to death over the baseball civil war that had broken out, and they just rooted themselves speechless at the final contest, which landed our rivals In seoond place, the score standing 5 to 4. We left the field that night as disgusted with the business of living on the earth as if we had been treated to a dose of lppecac. The season was all over now and we were halted In our march to overtake the once more victorious beaneaters. As before, I \vas about the only member of the team who could find a crumb of comfort—I was still fourth on the batting list, and that was something. Now, don't believe for a moment that the Athletic management was ready to call off the game. That club was founded on too firm a rock to have its bottom knocked out from under by the upstart that had tackled it. Instead of sitting down and crying over the milk that had been spilled, the club folks started right in to mend their fences so that they mlghi st?.nd a chance of regaining what they had lost, even if nothing better came of it. My salary was advanced to $1,500, and once agafn I was shifted—this time to right field. I did not say so at the time, but I knew then as well as I do now that the change was another piece of shortsightedness. Now, don't jump to the conclusion that I did nothing during those winters In Philadelphia but strenuous gymnasium stunts tt fit me for the road. Even in those days the Quaker City enjoyed the reputation of being a model village, but I found it somewhat lively in spots, certainly more so than Marshalltown. When I left the Iowa town I was at the know-it-all age, when the world seemed populated with idiots—all except myself. I regarded the old gentleman as too hidebound in his ignorance to be worthy of any attention whatever. When I arrived In Philadelphia some of that foolishness had been knocked out of me, but I was still in the rough and needed mighty vigorous trimming. My robust constitution and outdoor life had done a lot to encourage the animal in my make-up, and I was as full of nonsense as an unbroken thoroughbred colt and about as likely to kick over the traces when anybody attempted to tighten the rein on me. There were plenty ready to give me good advice, but I took mighty good care to steer clear of it. In a nutshell, baseball was my preference, but I was ready for a^iy other old game. With this view of the problem of life, some of my experiences at that period were not of a very exalted nature, hardly creditable, in fact, to a young man who aspired to become a great ball player, but I have the consolation of knowing that they were due more to freshness and ignorance than to actual viciousness. I had a mighty good opinion of my ability to hold my own In all contests that demanded strength and endurance, and it was a good thing that I sometimes ran up against a snag. One Instance In which my pride took a tremendous tumble was In 1872, the first year I played with the Athletios. It was a throwing match pulled off at the Union grounds In Brooklyn between members of the Mutuals, Bostons and Athletics for a purse of several hundred dollars. The entries were Hatfield and Boyd of the Mutuals, George Wright and Leonard of the Bostons, and Flslar and myself of the Athletics. Before the contest began I was so confident of my ability to break all previous records that I made no Mor»t of my expectation, but when I hi HAS NO SUBSTITUTE* ovvu-HJ-Ets.) POWDER Absolute!/ Pure Tho only baking powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar NO ALUM.N0 LIME PHOSPHATE brought up the tail end of the pro cession, with a throw that didn't entitle me to get a penny of the money, I felt crushed. But it didn't take iongr for my self-confidence to return. When I went to Philadelphia, and for some time afterward, I held the opinion that I was a mighty good man either with the gloves or without. I had never Btood up to a man who used science, but in my bouts with th» old gentleman and my other athletlo friends at Marshalltown my superior strength and stature had always given me the advantage, and I knew nothing that could resist me except perhaps a professional fighter. Some of the boys, anxious to take a hand 1b my education, put up a Job on me. I was Introduced to a certain Prof. Billy McLean, with the explanation that h« was a teacher of boxing and would llk? to have me for a pupil. He looked. BO insignificant that I made light of the proposition, and when it was suggested by one of the boys that should put on the mitts and have a friendly set-to with the professor I was disposed to ridicule the Idea, believing I could give him his quletua without special effort on my part I don't mind telling you that I found out mighty soon that I had made ao I A A E '^ANOTHER. 816 mistake: other great big mistake. Why, that little drled-up specimen of humanity circled around me like a cooper around a barrel. He seemed to b« able to hit me whenever and about wherever he wanted to, and I found I couldn't get at him at all in spite ot my long reach. The upshot of th« business was that I was so taken witl* his cleverness that I offered to pay him handsomely if he would teach m« the trick. McLean consented, and before that winter was over I got to b« so scientific with my hitting that I would have tackled the champion the world if he had given me the opportuni# I'm not proud of it a little bit, but that was the time when 1 tried to be a "h—11 of a feller" for all I was worth. That I didn't succeed was due partly to my natural preference for deoencyt but more especially to the fact that just about that time I mot the young woman who at first sight inspired ma to sit down and think seriously of the possibility of winning her for my ltf« partner.

Fine Ice Sold and Delivered Every Day 'WOMAN'S LIFE IN PORTUGAL WHAT SENILE DEBILITY IS ]8h« Does Most of the Farm Work and Waste of Muscle, Cartilage, Bone and 8hares in Heavy Labor of the Cities. A good part of the farm work rn Portugal is performed by the women, who see no reason why they should regard digging, hoeing arid plowing as the work of men alone. The man who owns a few acres of land will often leave its cultivation to his wife and daughters, while he labors as carpenter, stonemason or cooper, for cask-making is one of their important industries. He also likes to get a Job as a waiter in one of the numerous hotels at seaside resorts, for the country has thousands of continental and English visitors. Women share in the heavy work of Che cities as well. There are female porters, laborers on the docks, market tenders, and even women coal-heavers, fishermen, or rather flsherwomen, and sailors. They are as strong and hardy as their husbands and brothers and seem to stand long hours and hard labor as well. Of course it rather takes away the glamour of romance when one sees a young woman with finely chiseled features and beautiful black eyes digging with spade and mattock or heaving a basket of coal into a ship's hold with as much ease as the American girl plays tennis and golf. They seem happy under what we would consider hard conditions, so the reformer would probably have his labor for his pains if he suggested a change in this department of Portuguese national existence.—The Christian Herald. FEEDING NOT VERY SIMPLE Cheerful Company at a Meal and En* ticing Food Are Decided Helps to Digestion. Robust people, so long as they get :what suits their own uncultivated taste, are apt to make very light of what they call "fancies" about food, 'and overlook their real importance. Feeding on the part of civilized man ,1B not the simple procedure which It is with animals, although many animals are particular as to their food and what is called "dainty." The necessity for civilized man of cheerful company at his meal and for the absence of mental anxiety is universally recognized, as well as the importance of an inviting appeal to the appetite through the sense of smell and of sight, while the injurious effect of the reverse conditions, which may lead to nausea and even vomiting, is admitted. Even the ceremonial features of the dinner table, the change of clothes, the leisurely yet precise succession of approved and expected dishes, accompanied by pleasant talk and lighthearted companionship, are shown by strict scientific examination to be important aids to the healthy digestion of food, which need not be large in quantity, because wisely presented.— London Telegraph.

I was at the opera the first night that Patti made her appearance, and the wild enthusiasm of the house over the new diva was indescribable. Her extraordinary youth and beauty, the marvelous quality of her voice, the facility and ease with which she sang, and the complete grasp she showed of her part made an impression which time has not obliterated. She had come with a certain reputation, and the audience waited patiently as she made her appearance. After her wonderful rendering of the duet scene there could be no doubt that Patti was enthroned forever in the position she has held all through her life. Lady St. Helier, "Memories of Fifty Years."

Egg soup is most nourishing, and those who do not care to eat eggs cooked in any of the usual ways may benefit by having them in soup: Three eggs, three pints of stock, one tablespoonful of flour, pepper and salt. Mix the flour to a smooth paste add it to the stock, leaving it to boil for a quarter of an hour. Beat up the eggs and mix them gradually with a little stook, then add them to the soup, stirring carefully for a-few minutes, but taking care that the soup does not boil, as this would curdle it.

In some countries voting is compulsory, and eleotors are fined if they do I not do their duty as citizens and avail I themselves of the franchise. According to the universal suffrage law of Austria all those on the register must record their votes, and at the last general election In that country 60,000 electors were fined sums from two dollars downward because they neglected to go to the poll. Spain is another country that looks on voting as a national duty, at least In the municipal election. .Should a citizen omit to cast his ballot hit name Is published as a defaulter, hla taxes are Increased by two per cent., while If he be in the public service, his salary Is reduced by one per cent. Should he commit the fault a second time he is debarred forever from hold' ilng an elective position or an appoint* ment under government. A few years ago a bill to the same effect was brought before the parliament of Victoria. All defaulters were to be fined $2.50 unless they -showed .they were ill at the time, were blind, over sixty-five years of age, or were unavoidably absent. A similar idea was mooted in Canada, the penalty being disfranchisement for six years.—Stray Stories. 8ure, He Did the Right Thing!

He bocame so absorbed, in fact, that he forgot he was in school, and presently he puckered up his lips and whistled^ first softly and then quite shrilly. The teacher laid down his pen in amaze'ment, and cried sharply: "Who is that 'whistling?" The small boy looked up quickly, and then said. Innocently: "That was me. Didn't you know I could whistle?"

COUNTESS AS STREET SWEEP Young German Noblewoman Inspired Her Countrymen to Freedom by Display of Fortitude. Julie M. Llppmann tells a story ot the Thirty Years' war In 8t Nicholas, under the title of "The Street Sweeper." The author says: Now Mainz one of the strongest fortresses in Germany but, nevertheless, during the Thirty Years' war it was occupied by the French, who laid the country waste and ruled over the land with all the harshness of invaders. There seemed no hope of escaping from their tyranny, for the men who had fought and lost were discouraged, and had no further heart for resistance. So matters went from bad to worse until, one day, the beautiful young countess of Stein summoned all the sweetest and best maidens of the city into her presence, and urged then* to make a solemn vow that they would neither wed nor listen to a word of wooing until their country was eiv tlrely free. As you may believe, the news of this league made a great stir for meu who have lost their courage In war, and men who have lost their hearts In love, are very different beings. The Frenchmen saw very soon that the young Germans were showing signs of rebellion, and so they determined to wreak their vengeance on the countess. They took her prisoner, dragged her through the city, and at last thrust a broom into her hand, and bade her sweep the prlnolpal street of the town—a terrible humiliation, they thought, for a high-bred lady as sho was. But do you think she faltered? No, indeed. She raised her eyes, and, praying aloud so all could hear "God 3f my fatherland, bless my sweeping, ft&d as I sweep the highway, grant liat the enemy may be swept from rur land!"—grasped the broom firmly (like the true young noblewoman she was) and swept so clean that not a Frenchman of them all (and Frenchmen pride themselves on being able to see very fine points) could discover a speck of dust. They stood about, and twirled their mustaches, and tried to look supercilious, and to raise the people's mlr.Mt against her. But they did not succeed and the townsfol'a. Instead of jtering, took off their caps, and echoed her prayer—"God bless the sweeping!" And God did bless It for the sight of their nc-ble young countess at her task put the men on their mettle, ani they turn4d on the Frenchmen and fought with such a will that it was dot long before there was not one left in the land, and they had Indeed swept the coiw.tfy quite clear of every foe.
