BOXHRS SCAR JEFF'S FACE; 12MILE RUN FOR JOHNSON Challenger for Title is Sluggish, Failing to Show Well Before Relatives and Admirers-Champion Wears Out Members of Traing Camp on Road, but Bars Sparring. BY. W. W. NAUGHTON. San Francisco, May 9.—Jack Johnson did his first training for the fight with Jeffries today. At least, Jack himself describes it that way. He says that what he went through in Chicago was more for the benefit of the photographers than himself. If further evidence that it was the opening of the Johnson campaign were necessary, Jack's appearance and manner after he returned from the road furnished it. He was a very tired heavyweight after his 12-mile loop of the beach and highways, and as he slid languidly into his hot tub he muttered, "Gee! This feels good." The Johnson party, consisting of the champion, Tom Little, "Marty" Cutler, "Joe" Cotton, and "Barney" Purey, left the camp about 8 o'clock in the morning, taking the beach until they reached Sloat boulevard. At this point Cutler complained of the pace and begged to be allowed to limp back to camp. After this they traversed the boulevard to Eighteenth Avenue, and made toward the park. Then a course for home was struck, and by the time camp was reached it was reckoned 12 miles had been covered. ONLY ROAD WORK THIS WEEK "Nothing but road work until Sunday next," said Johnson. "I will go out twice a day, covering about 12 miles in the morning and 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Sunday I will begin boxing, but will not keep it up every day. My indoor work will be done Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and on the remaining days it will be road work entirely. When I box I will start my gymnasium work at 2:30 in the afternoon, except on Sundays, when I will begin a half hour earlier. I do not expect to take off any weight for a week yet. It will take me that long to get limbered up, and after that I will gradually drop to my fighting notch." Manager George Little has gone to extremes to make Johnson comfortable, and also to afford the champion protection from designing persons. On the second floor of the Seal Rock a number of rooms have been so adapted to Johnson's requirements that he commands all the conveniences usually in a flat. In addition to a bathroom, massage room, lounging room, and sleeping apartment, Johnson has a special kitchen and dining room. Even his assistants will be required to take their meals in a separate part of the establishment. HOME COOKING FOR JACK. The kitchen has been fitted with a new gas range, and it is said that the woman who will preside over the culinary department is a distant relative of the Johnson family. "You see," explained Little, "this is not only the field of the country, as the newspapers call it, but it is the biggest happening in Johnson's life. I have every faith that Jack will do the right thing by himself, so far as training is concerned, and it is up to me to safeguard him in other ways. Johnson and myself will eat together, but we will have no other company." So that the new cook may not find the time hanging heavy on her hands, Little is having special chicken yards installed at Seal Rock House, and also replicate hooling the rooft cotes so as to inclose the squab outfit. "Jeffries may be able to outbox this fellow, but Jack can give him cards and spades eating," explained Little. "He only gets away with six soups at a meal." BY H. M. WALKER. Jeffries' Training Camp. Rowardennan, Cal., May 9.—So far as training work was concerned, today was not a very satisfactory one to either Jim Jeffries or his trainers. It was something of a disappointment to them, for Tex Rickard, with his wife, and Jack Jeffries and his wife, with a large number of Jeffries' relatives and close friends, were among those who watched the big fellow in the seven rounds of boxing which he went through with Bob Armstrong and Joe Choynkul in the handball court this afternoon. Roughness character- ized nearly every round of the sparring. Science was more in the background today than it has been before and it is probable that Jeffries was hit more times and harder by his sparring partners than he has been at any other time. The big fighter was plainly not feeling just right. Always a man of strong moods, it is only when he is in a good one that he can do his best work. Jeffries' almost complete lay-off on Sunday and a long sleep, which he took this morning, probably put his spirits a little out of gear. The difference between Jeffries' great boxing on Saturday and his sparring today was very marked. OPPONENTS MARK JEFF Twice Jeffries' face was marked by the glove of an opponent. Armstrong struck him an upper arm which scraped some of the cuticle from his forehead and increased the red mark Jeff received from Papke on Saturday. The lip of the big fighter was also lacerated and bled continually throughout the bout. Thrill ran through the small crowd of spectators on two occasions once when Bob Armstrong, in backing up, caught his heel and toppled headlong to the floor. No blow was struck at the moment, and there was no ground for believing that Jeffries had scored a knock-down. Hardly five minutes later Jeffries' leg shot from under him, and he fell flat to the floor, striking face downward. His trainers rushed to pick him up, but found that the fall had not hurt him beyond a slight scrape on each knee. It is likely that the big fellow may carry more than two or three bad scratches as a result of today's work with the gloves, for one of Armstrong's right-hand swings caught Jeffries directly on the left eye. The eye gave considerable appearance of becoming black by morning. Jack Jeffries, brother of the former world's champion, and one of the fighters who faced Johnson some years ago, arrived in camp on the morning train with his wife. He will remain at Rowardennan until the day of the fight, aiding in the preparation of the big fellow. JEFF'S BROTHER PLEASED After a few days of exercise to get himself into some sort of condition, Jack Jeffries will spar with his brother. He weighs more than 200 pounds. The fighter's brother expressed satisfaction at the apparent good shape Jeff has already put himself in. This morning's road work was unusually heavy. The group of runners, headed by Jeffries, went to Bowler creek and the big fellow ran the whole way home, a distance of more than 4 miles. Naturally enough he was blowing hard at the end, but told his trainers that he did not feel any exhaustion. No other work was done by Jeffries in the morning, and he did not seek his gymnasium until 3 o'clock. The afternoon was a busy one while it lasted. Work with the weights and shadow boxing were followed by seven rounds of sparring. Then the punching bag was hammered vigorously, for half an hour, and the day's work closed with several handball games. Alexander Brooks Gone. In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, Alexander Brooks, who departed this life March 14, 1910, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. James H. Thomas, Hampton, Va. He leaves a wife, daughter, sister and a host of friends to mourn their loss. The remains were brought to this city, and the funeral services were conducted from the First Baptist Church, Manchester, Va. His pastor, Rev. A. Binga, officiated. The interment was in Maury cemetery. He had been a member of Manchester Lodge, No. 11, K. of P. since its organization, and Ivy Leaf Court, No. 85, which bodies turned out in large numbers, to pay the last tribute of respect. The numerous and costly floral designs attested the worth and esteem in which he was held by his many friends. The family is very thankful to the many friends for the kindness shown during his illness and the tokens of sympathy at his death. Tho I daily miss you, loved one, And my heart is filled with pain; Yet there's comfort still in knowing We shall some day meet again. Entered into Best. Departed this life at his residence in Powhatan County, Va., May 6, 1910, William Glenn. He died in the full triumph of faith. Age seven-four years. He leaves nine children, four boys, five girls to mourn their loss. "Asleep in Jesus Blessed sleep." sleep." BY HIS CHILDREN. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1910. The Mechanics' Savings Bank. The new Mechanics' Savings Bank building will be thrown open to the public, Monday, June 6, 1910, and all are invited to call and inspect one of the finest banking houses in the South. Of course this is based upon its size. The building is almost completed now. The round door vault, built by the York Safe and Lock Company, of York Pa., and finished in polished steel has been a "seven days" wonder so to speak. White and colored people have thronged the doors to look at this "last word" in vault construction. The large French plate glass mirror in the rear, presents an optical delusion by making the vault appear just double its actual size. There are 510 safety deposit boxes, many of which have already been engaged and 8 lockers for the bank's funds. The vault is lined with three coatings of five ply steel without including the finishing plates. The tile floor has been laid in the vault. There are two electric lights in the interior. The concrete ture is surrounded by enameled ture is surrounded by enameled brick. The book vault is in the rear. The banking room has a white English vein marble wainscoting fifty-two inches righ and the top of this on the fixtures will be surmounted by a top-piece of mahogany and bronze. Arrangements have been made for the installation of an observatory clock of marble, to be set from the United States Observatory, at Washington, D. C. and controlled by one of the direct wires of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The tile on the roof garden is now being laid and with the twenty-four electric lights there, twelve inches in diameter, the place will be almost as bright as day. The elevator has been completed and passengers can now be carried to the roof in safety. The granolithic side-walk has been completed. Many of the offices have already been rented. Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Nickel Savings Bank. The fourteenth annual meeting of the stockholders of The Nickel Savings Bank was held at the bank building, Tuesday, May 10, 1910. The meeting was an enthusiastic and encouraging one, and the efforts of all stockholders were pledged to an extension of the business in all of its departments. President R. F. Tancli made a brief but pointed and impressive address to the stockholders, soliciting their efforts to make the institution a greater success and to increase its influence for thrift and business education. In concluding, he stirred a volume of regret when he stated that the imperative duties of his profession precluded his re-election to the active position of president, and that the directorate would have the responsibility of selecting for them a new president, and for similar reasons a new cashier, whose services in the capacity of these offices would be more compatible with their present vocations. The directorate upon whom the choice of new officers was placed was then elected for the ensuing year, the members thereof being as follows: R. F. Tancli, R. J. Bass, Chas. West, £. H. Berkley, J. A. Lewis, John Lewis, Benjamin Smith, Wm. H. Galnes, E. L. Banks, W. I. Johnson, J. R. Pollard, C. R. Brown. Following the adjournment of the stockholders' meeting, the directors held executive session. Conscipious in the minutes of this meeting is the voluntary retirement of the former President, Dr. R. F. Fancil, and former Cashier, Rev. R. J. Bass, from these active positions to the less mandatory ones of Vice-presidents, so as to devote the necessary time to the increased duties of their respective profession. Pursuant to this course, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: W. I. Johnson, President. R. F. Tancil, first Vice-President, R. J. Bass, second Vice-President, J. R. Pollard, Cashier, R. C. Brown, Assistant Cashier. With testimonials for the integrity and untiring efforts of the former President, Dr. R. F. Tancil, in founding and building up a financial institution in the face of prejudice and opposition, the directors expressed their respect for their former president and rejoiced that he would continue to be a potential factor in its progress. The praise and regret engendered by the retirement of the former Cashier, Rev. R. J. Bass, was freely expressed, and tributes to both officers were made by their former coworkers. The Board of Directors then voted to recommend to the stockholders of the bank an increase of the capital stock to $25,000, and the establishment of a branch bank. At the conclusion of the meeting, by motion a tribute to the retiring officers of bank was recorded in the minutes, thanking and complimenting them for their services. A voluntary token of appreciation for fourteen years of faithful and sacrificing service to the institution by the retiring President, Dr. R. F. Tancil, was pledged, and arrangements for the choice and presentation of same recommended Congratulations were freely exchanged at the close of the meeting, and the members pledged worthy services to their officials, appreciating the privilege of having such representative men as successors to the retiring officials. AN ECHO FROM BROWNSVILLE Drastic Provisions for Reenlistment The Great Wrong Intensified. Washington, D. C., May 19.—The War Department is taking steps to carry out that part of the findings of the recently concluded Brownsville court of inquiry regarding the re-enlistment of the members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, who were found to have been free from all complicity in the rioting at Brownsville in 1906. There were fourteen of these men, and they are scattered all over the country. The department has notified them of their vindication and of their eligibility for re-instatement in the army under the terms of the Foraker act. Up to date only six of the fourteen have indicated desire to re-enlist. They have been instructed to appear at the nearest recruiting station for examination. It is not mandatory upon the department, it is stated, to re-enlist these men except in its discretion. This discretion will be exercised through inquiry into the physical condition of such of the men as care to apply for re-enlistment their moral conduct since their sepoation from the service and other points deemed necessary to establish their fitness for the service. MAY FAIL TO MEET IT. It is not improbable that some of the soldiers officially declared to be innocent may fail to meet the military requirement. Such of the fourteen as are able to pass the recruiting officer's examination and secure restatement in the army will be entitled under the law to back pay and emoluments amounting to nearly $1,000. Under the general regulations, any soldier in the army, with the approval of the authorities, may purchase his discharge by the payment to the government of a sum ranging in amount from $120 after one year's service to $30 after eleven years' service. Consequently any one of the fourteen soldiers who secure restatement in the service will draw about $1,000 from the treasury, and, with the approval of the military authorities, may immediately use a portion of that money to purchase his discharge in case he does not desire to remain in the army. That is a decided consideration to some of the men concerned, as their present civil employment is more lucrative than is service in the ranks of the army. Personals and Briefs Mr. 1. P.

V. P., J. C. Asbury, as a suitable brother to be elected to the greatest position of Grand Master of the order at the B. M. C., to be held in Baltimore, Md., next October. Brother Asbury has been a faithful member of this Lodge for more than twenty-five years and performed with punctuality and humility every duty assigned him during that time, filling all the stations in the Lodge cheerfully and thoroughly. He has been no respecter of persons, but served the least as well as the greatest in a brotherly spirit. As a citizen, he leads an exemplary life and for four years held the most exalted position ever occupied by a colored man in Virginia—Commonwealth's Attorney for Norfolk county. This Lodge has a pardonable pride in his efficient service as editor and manager of the Odd Fellows' Journal for the past thirteen years."

HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va Services at Fifth Street Baptist Church were largely attended last Sunday. An unusual christian warmth prevailed; the congregation animated and services spirited. All seemed appreciative of previous blessings with minds and hearts ready to receive the new. The common signs of fright relative to what may happen May 18, 1910, upon the full approach of Halley's Comet, does not seem to find lodgement into the bosom of the members of this congregation. They have arranged for a great service Wednesday night, May 18, 1910, at the Fifth Street Baptist Church. The Rev. Dr. William Thomas Anthony, pastor of Zion Baptist Church, Washington Ward, formerly Manchester, Virginia, will preach a special sermon at Fifth Street Baptist Church. Subject, "Hand Writing on the Wall," Come out and hear him. As to Halley's Comet, we'll advise everybody to rise early every morning from now on until this mighty visitor shall have arrived; which is one of the great stars that declare the glory of God, and shows forth His handwork. We rather believe in Jesus, than in Scientists, Jesus teaches us, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but (His) my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour know no man, No, not the angels of heaven, but, my Father only," Matt. XXIV: 35 and 36. Christian people should not be frightened at the approach or periodical stars, in the light of aversion teachings of Jesus. The more a people become enlightened in true fundamental sound principles in proportion will superstition wane. We boast of living in a Bible land and Gospel country; but when we look about and around us we feel sometimes like saying that his proverb is not active; but merely theoretical. At any rate, we are favored and blessed with the privilege of imbibing the real and true essence of true; both imaginatively and conductively. In all of our ways, let us ever remember that God reigns At 11:30 church services commenced. Our Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham preached a fine sermon. "Subject, "The Personal God." The choir revived itself in feature. Its organist, Miss Edmonia Anderson, who has been absent on account of sickness for about a month or more, was present. The very musical strains from the big pipe organ, mingling with the melody of human voices of the choir, told the story to the congregation that an adept presided at his instrument. The congregation was delighted by the sweet melodious sound any many whispers could be heard saying, its Miss Edmonia Anderson playing. The congregation was proud to know that God in His mercy had raised this young lady from her sick bed, and she was again at her post of duty. No one was more happy than the veteran leader of the choir, Alex, McCoy, who seems to be as happy as a leader could be over the return of his accomplished organist. At 3:30 o'clock the G. W. O. of Odd Fellows held their Sixty-seventh Anniversary at this church, under command of Patriarchie Chas W. Young. The Household of Ruth was in attendance. Mrs. Mattie Tyler presiding. The following program was rendered: PROGRAM. 1 Master of Ceremonies. Morton Deane, M. V. P. 2 Scripture Reading, Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D. 3 Prayer—Chaplain, Bro.

The sermon by Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, Subject, "Four Doors to PRICE, FIVE CENTS Success," was excellent. A large congregation was present. (At 9:30 o'clock Supt. Prof. B. H. Peyton opened Sunday School. This service of the children was largely attended. The officers and teachers were present in their places, and activity in the lesson interested all present. Prof. J. J. Young, Rocky Mount, N. C., made an interesting address to the school, and presented five orphan boys from the Eastern Carolina Orphanage and Agricultural Training School. Class No. 19 taught by Deacon John W. Howard, having raised the largest amount of money in the Banner Rally, is elated to learn that they will be known as the Banner Class for the next three months.

In the centre of the room the many tokens of gold had been neatly arranged upon the table. The presents came from their many friends, white and colored, and were the cynosure of all eyes. The scene was indeed dazzling and will live long in the memories of those who witnessed it. After a pleasant evening had been spent in various diversions a collation was served, which did credit to the occasion.

MARTIN, 727 Gates Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. THE MAN in LOWER TEN by MARY ROBEND KINEHART AUTHOR OF THE CIRCULAR STORAGE ILLUSTRATIONS BY M. G. KETTNER COPYRIGHT & DOLLAR - NORRILLE COMPANY CHAPTER IV. Numbers Seven and Nine. Afterward, when I tried to recall our Discovery of the body in lower ten I found that my most vivid impression was not that made by the revelation of the opened curtain. I had an instantaneous picture of a slender blue-gowned girl who seemed to sense my words rather than hear them, of two small hands that clutched desperately at the seat beside them. The girl in the alae stood, bent toward us, perplexity and alarm fighting in her face. With twitching hands the porter attempted to draw the curtains together in a paralysis of shock, he collapsed on the edge of her berth and sat there swaying. In my excitement I shook him. "For heaven's sake keep your nerve, man." I said briskly. "You'll have every woman in the car in hysterics. And if you do, you'll wish you could change places with the man in there." He rolled his eyes. A man near, who had been reading last night's paper, dropped it quickly and tipped toward us. He peered between the party open curtains, closed them quietly and went back, ostentatiously column to his seat. The very smile with which he opened his paper added to the burst of curiosity of the car. For the passangers knew that something was amiss. I was conscious of a sudden tension. With the certains closed the patter was more closed. he waved his lips with a banker hilt and stood erect. "It's my last trip in this air," he remarked boldly. There something wrong with that birth. Last trip that took an overdose of some sleeping stuff. And it bore her joy like that, dead. And it bore more three months now since there was twins born in that very spot. No str itt natural. At that moment a thin man with prominent eyes and a spare grayish gonate creaked up the aisle and paused beside me. "Porter slick?" he inquired, taking in with a professional eye the porter's horror-struck face my own excitement and the slightly gaping curtains of lower ten. He reached for the darky's pulse and pulled out an old fashioned gold watch. "Hm" "Only fifty" What's the matter? Had a shock? he asked shrewdly. "Yes," I answered for the porter. "We've both had one. If you are a doctor I wish you would look at the man in the birth across lower ten "The Man's Been Murdered!" I'm afraid it's too late, but I'm not experienced in such matters." Together we opened the curtains, and the doctor, bending down, gave a comprehensive glance that took in the rolling head, the relaxed jaw, the ugly stain on the sheet. The examination needed only a moment. Death was written in the clear white of the nostrils, the colorless lips, the smoothing away of the sinister lines of the night before. With its now dignity the face was not unhandsome; the gray hair was still plentiful, the features strong and well cut. The doctor straightened himself and burned to me. "Dead for some time," he said, running a professional finger over the stains. "These are dry and darkened, you see, and rigor mortis is well established A friend of yours." "I don't know him at all," I replied. "Never saw him but once before." "Then you don't know if he is traveling alone!" "No, he was hot—that is, I don't know anything about him." I corrected myself. It was my first blunder; the doctor glanced up at me quietly and then turned his attention again to the body. Like a flash there had come the bronze hair and the tragic face, whom I had surprised in the vestibule between the cars, somewhere in the small hours of the morning. I had acted on my first impulse—the masculine ong of shielding a woman. The doctor had unfastened the coat of the striped pajamas and exposed the dead man's chest. On the left side was a small punctured wound of insignificant size. "Very neatly done," the doctor said with appreciation. "Couldn't have done it better myself. Right through the intercostal space; no time even to grunt." "I'm the heart around there somewhere?" I asked. The medical man turned toward me and smiled gratefully. "That's where it belongs, just under that puncture, when it isn't gadging around in a man's throat or his boots." I had a new respect for the doctor, for any one indeed who could crack even a feeble joke under such circumstances, or who could run an impersonal finger over that wound and those stains. Odd how a healthy, normal man holds the medical profession in half contemptuous regard until he gets sick, or an emergency like this arises, and then turns meekly to the man who knows the fins and out of his mortal tenement, takes his pills or his patronage, dies to him like a rudderless ship in a gale. Suicide, is it, doctor?" I asked. "Is it, doctor?" I answered. In drawing the bed-clothing over the face and taking off his glasses, he wiped them slowly. "No it is not suicide," he announced decisively. "It is murder." Of course, I had expected that, but the word itself brought a sliver. I was just a bit dizzy. Curious faces through the car were turned toward us and I could hear the porter behind me breathing a dubly. A stout woman in negligence came down the stale and quarantined the confronted the porter. She wore a link dressing glove and carried portions of her clothing. Porter she began in the side of the ladies who had dangled. Is there a rule of this company that will allow a woman to carry the dressing room for one hour and either hair with an auburn hair while resting there, or a white hair where they can be kissed. Some she was on the floor at our face, face down and holding under the berth. Now he got up, without apology revealing the man who had summoned the conductor. He was dusty alert cheerful and he dragged up with him the dead man's suit-case. The sight of it brought back to me at corner 10. "I don't know whether there's any connection or not, conductor." I said "but I am a victim, too in less degree. I've been robbed of everything I possess, except a red and yellow bath robe. I happened to be wearing the bath robe, which was probably the reason the thief overlooked it." There was a fresh murmur in the crowd. Somebody laughed nervously. The conductor was irritated. "I can't bother with that now," he started. The railroad company is reasonable. I could not afford clothes, jewelry and morals. If people want to be stabbed and robbed in the company's cars, it's their affair. Why didn't you sleep in your clothes? I do." I took an angry step forward. Then somebody touched my arm, and I unlabeled my fist. I could understand the conductor's position, and beside, in the law, I had been guilty myself of contributory negligence "I'm not trying to make you responsible," I protested, as amiably as I could, "and I believe the clothes the thief left are as good as my own They are certainly newer. But my valises contained valuable papers, and it is to your interest as well as mine to find the man who stole it." "Why, of course," the doctor said shrewdly. "Find the man who skipped out with this gentleman's clothes, and you've probably got the murderer." "I went to bed in lower nine," I said, my mind full again of my lost papers, "and I waked in number seven. I was up in the night prowling around, as I was unable to sleep, and I must have gone back to the wrong berth. Anyhow, until the porter waked me this morning I knew nothing of my mistake. In the interval the thief—murderer, too, perhaps—must have come back, discovered my error, and taken advantage of it to further his escape." The inquisitive man looked at me from between harrowed eyelids, ferretlike. "Did anyone on the train suspect you of having valuable papers?" he inquired. The crowd was listening intently. "No one." I answered promptly and politely. The doctor was investigating the murdered man's effects. The pocket of his trousers contained the usual miscellany of keys and small change, while in his hip pocket was found a small Pearl handled revolver of the type women usually keep around. A gold watch with a Masque charm had slid down between the mattress and the window, while a showy diamond stud was still fastened in the bosom of his shirt. Taken as a whole, the personal belongings were those of a man of some means, but without any particular degree of breeding. The doctor happed them together. "Either robbery was not the motive," he reflected, "or the thief overlook these things in his burry." The latter hypothesis seemed the more tenable, when, after a thorough search, we found no pocketbook and less than a dollar in small change. The sulphureous gray lion I con- me delighted. "Then you wore black shoes, not tan," he said, with a glance at the aggressive yellow ones I wore. "Right again," I acknowledged. "Black low shoes and black embroidered shoes," he kept on in small mouths for my keep on you have to motive for it. greeted, without ex- young woman shoe "She is not hun and she is, very-wouldn't come.

In the leather tag on the handle was a card with the name Simon Harrington Pittburg. The conductor sat down on my unmade bed, across, and made an entry of the name and address. Then, on an old envelope he wrote a few lines, and gave it to the porter, who disappeared. "I guess that all I can do," he said. "I've had enough trouble this trip to last for a year. They don't need a conductor on these trains any more, what they ought to have is a shortiff and a poseff." The porter from the next car came in and whispered to him. The conductor rose unhappy. "No cars ought to the disease," he grumbled. "A woman back there has got mumps or bubonic plague, or something. Will you come back?" The strange portcock stood aside "Lady about the taddle of the car"; he said, in black stitch, with queer look in his hair sort of copper color, "I think skin." CHAPTER V. The Woman in the Next Car With the departure of the conductor and the doctor the group around lower ten broke up to reform in smaller knots through the car. The porter remained on guard With something of relief I sank into a seat the details of the previous night. But my inquisitive acquaintance had other intentions. He came up and sat down beside me Like the conductor he had taken notes of the dead man a belonging his name address, clothing and the general circumstances of the crime. Now with his little notebook open before him, he prepared to enjoy the minor sensation of the robbery "And now for the second victim" he began cheerfully "What is your name address, please?" I greed him with suspicion "I have lost everything but my name and address" I parried "What do you want them for?" Publication "Oh, dear no' he said, shocked at my misapprehension 'Mercy for my own enrichment I like to gather data of this kind and draw my own conclusions Most interesting and engrossing Once or twice I have forestalled the results of police investigation—but entirely for my own amusement" I nodded tolerantly Most of us have hobbies, I knew one once carried his handkerchief up his sleeve and had a mania for old colored prints cut out of Godey's Lady Book. That Inductive method originated by Poole and followed since with such success by Conan Doyle Have you ever read Gabrielofu Ah. you have missed a treat. Indeed. And now, to get down to business what is the name of our escaped财 and probable murderer? "How on earth do I know?" I demanded impatiently "I didn't write it in blood anywhere, did he*" The little man looked hurt and disappointed "Do you mean to say," he asked, "that the pockets of those clothes are entirely empty?" The pocket's' In the excitement I had forgotten entirely the saakhik grip which the porter now sat at my feet, and I had not investigated the pocket's at all. With the inquisitive man's pencil taking note of everything that I found, I emptied them on the opposite coat. Upper left-hand waist-coat, two lead pencils and a fountain pen, lower right waist-coat, matchbox and a small stamp book, right-hand pocket coat, pair of gray suede gloves, new, size seven and a half, left-hand pocket gun-metal cigarette case studded with pearls, half full of Egyptian cigarettes. The trousers pockets contained a gold penknife, a small amount of money in bills and change, and a handkerchief with the initial "S" on it. Further search through the coat discovered a card-case with cards bearing the name Henry Pinckney Sullivan, and a leather flask with gold mountings, filled with what seemed to be very fair whisky, and monogrammed H P S. "His name evidently is Henry Pinckney Sullivan," said the cheerful follower of Doe, as he wrote it down. "Address as yet unknown Blonde, probably. Have you noticed that it is almost always the blonde men who affect a very light gray, with a touch of red in the scarf? Fact, I assure you. I kept a record once of the summer attire of men, and 90 per cent, followed my rule. Dark men like you affect navy blue, or brown. I applied of myself I was amused at the man's shrewdness. "Yes, the suit he took was dark—a blue," I said. He rubbed his hands and smiled at me delightedly. "Then you wore black shoes, not tan," he said, with a glance at the aggressive yellow ones I wore. "Night again," I acknowledged. "Black low shoes and black embroidered hose. If you keep on you'll have a motive for the ordee, and the murderer's present place of hiding. And if you come back to the smoker with me, I give you an opportunity to judge if he knew good whisky from bad." I put the articles from the pockets back again and got up. "I wonder if there is a diner on?" I said. "I need something sustaining after all this." Someone at my oblow I turned to me the young woman whose face was so vaguely familiar. In the very act of speaking she drew back suddenly and colored "Ob—I bag your pardon," she said hurriedly, "I—thought you wero—some one else." She was looking in a puzzled fashion at my coat. I felt all the cringing guilt of a man who has accidentally picked up the wrong tight on my neck. "I'm sorry," I said idiotically. "I'm sorry but—I'm not." I have learned since that she has bright brown hair, with a loose wave in it that drops over her cars and dark blue eyes with black lashes and—but what does it matter? One enjoys a picture as a whole, not as the sum of its parts. She saw the flask then, and her ornament came back to jor "one of the ladies at the end of the car has fainted," she explained "I thought perhaps a stimulant—" I picked up the flask at once and followed my guide down the aisle. Two or three, women were working over the woman who had fainted. They had opened her collar and taken out her hair glaze, whatever good that might do. The stout woman was vigorously rubbing her wrists, with the idea, no doubt, of working up her pulse. The unconscious woman was the one for whom I had secured lower 11 at the station. I poured a little liquor in a bunging masculine fashion between her lips as she hung back, with closed lips, and I picked coughed and rallied somewhat. "Poor thing," said the stout lady. "As she lays back that way I almost think it was my mother she used to faint so much. "It would make a 'anybody faint' chimed in another. 'Murder and robbery in one night and on one car I'm thankful I always wear my rings in a bag around in neck—even if they do get under me and keep me awake." The girl in the was looking at us with wide startled eyes. I saw her pale a little, saw the quick, apprehensive glance with which she throw at her traveling companion, the small woman I had noticed before. There was an exchange—almost a clash—of glances. The small woman frowned. That was all. I turned my attention again to my patient. She had reviewed somewhat, and now she asked to have the window opened. The train had stopped again and the car was oppressively hot. People around were looking at their watches and grumbling over the delay. The doctor bustled in with a remark about its being his busy day. The amateur detective and the porter together and the driver were to side the heat rose in shimmering waves from the tracks, the very wood of the car was hot to touch. A Camberwell beauty darted through the open door and made its way, in eratic plunges, great wings waving, down the sunny side. All around lay the peace of harvested fields, the quiet of the country. CHAPTER VI. The Girl in Blue I was growing more and more irritable. The thought of what the loss of the notes meant was fast crowding the murder to the back of my mind. The forced inaction was intolerable. The porter had reported no bag answering the description of mine on the train, but I was disposed to make my own investigation. I made a tour of the cars, scrutinizing every variety of band luggage ranging from luxurious English bags with gold mountings to the wicker nodoscript of the day reach at the rear. I was not alone in my quest, for the girl his blue was just ahead of me. Car by car she preceded me through the train, looking at each passenger as she passed I fancied the proceeding was distasteful but that she had determined on a course and was carrying it through. We reached the end of the train almost together—empty-handed, both of us. The girl went out to the platform. When she saw me she moved salde, and I stepped out beside her. Behind us the track carried sharply, the early sunshine threw the train, in long black shadow, over the hot earth. Forward somewhere they were hammering. The girl said nothing, but her profile was strained and anxious "I—if you have lost anything," I began with you would let me try to handle. Not only own success is anything to boast of." She hardly glanced at me. It was not fartering "I have not been robbed, if that is what you mean," she replied quietly. "I am-perplexed. That is all." There was nothing to say to that. I lifted my hat—the other fellow's hat—and turned to go back to my car. Two or three members of the train crew, including the conductor, were standing in the shadow talking. And at that moment, from a farmhouse near come the swift clang of the bell calling in the hands from behind and pasture I turned back to the girl. "We may be here for an hour," I said, "and there is no buffet car on. If I remember my youth, that bell means ham and eggs and country butter and coffee. If you care to run the risk—" "I am not hungry," she said, "but perhaps a cup of coffee—dear me. I believe I am hungry," she finished. "Only—" She glanced back of her. "I can bring your companion," she sighed. grewed, without entnuisism. But the brown woman shook her head. "She is not hungry," she objected, "and she is very—well, I know she wouldn't come. Do you suppose we could make it if we run?" "I haven't any idea," I said cheerfully. "Any old train would be better than this one, if it does leave us behind." "Yes. Any train would be better than this one," she repeated gravely, "I will watch her changing expression. I had spoken two dozen words to her and already I felt that I knew the lights and shades in her voice—I, who had always known how a woman rode to hounds, and who never could have told the color of her hair I stepped down on the ties, and turned to assist her, and together we walked back to where the conductor and the porter from our car were in hide conversation. Instinctively my want to my cigarette pocket and came out empty. She saw the gesture "If you want to smoke, you may," she said. "I have a big cousin who smokes all the time. He says I am klipped!" I drew out the gun-metal cigarette case and opened it. But this most commonplace action had an extraordinary result. The grill beside me stopped dead still and stood staring at it with fascinated eyes. "Is—where did you get that?" she demanded, with a catch in her voice, her gaze still fixed on the cigarette case. "You haven't heard the rest of the tragedy?" I asked, holding out the case. "It's frightfully bad luck for me but it makes a good story. You see." At that moment the conductor and porter ceased their colloquy. The conductor came directly toward me. "Where Did You Get That?" xing as he came at his bristling gray mustache. "I would like to talk to you in the car," he said to me, with a curious glance at the young lady "Can't it wait?" I objected. We are on our way to a cup of coffee and a slice of bacon. He merciful as you are, powerful. "I am afraid the breakfast will have to wait he replied. I won't keep you long. There was a note of authority in his voice which I resented, but, after all the circumstances were unusual. "Well have to defer that cup of coffee for a while." I said to the girl, "but don't despair, there's breakfast somewhere. As we entered the car she stood aside but I felt rather than saw that she followed us. I was surprised to see me, I was gathered around the berth in which had waited, number seven. It had not yet been made As we passed along the stair I was conscious of a new expression on the faces of the passenger. The tall woman an who had fainted was searching my face with narrowed eyes while the stout woman of the kindly heart avoided my gaze and pretended to look out of the window. As we pushed our way through the group I fancied that it closed around me ominously. The conductor said nothing, and without ceremony, in the side of the stair. "What's the matter?" I inquired I was puzzled but not approbative "Have you some of my things? I'd be thankful even for my shoes, those are confounded tight." Nobody spoke, and I fell silent, too. For one of the pillows had been turned over and the under side of the white case was streaked with brownish stains. I think it was a perceptible time before I realized that the stains were blood, and that the faces around were filled with suspicion and distrust. "Why, it—that looks like blood," I said vacuously. There was an incessant pounding in my ears, and the conductor's voice came from far off. "It is blood," he assorted grimly. I looked around with a dizzy attempt at nonchance. "Even if it is," I remonstrated, "surely you don't support it for someone that I know anything about." The amateur detector elbowed his way in. He had a scrap of transparent paper in his hand, and a pencil. "I would like permission to trace the stains," he began eagerly. "Also—to me—if you will kindly jab your finger with a pin—needle—anything—" "If you don't keep out of this," the conductor said savagely. "I will do some jabbing myself. As for you, sir—" he turned to me. I was abashed anaconda, an acrobat, a presented picture of guilt. I was covered with cold sweat, and the pounding in my ears kept up dizziness. "As for you sir—" The irreprecible amateur detective made a quick pounce at the pillow and pushed back the cover. Before our incredulous eyes he drew out a narrow steel dirk which had been buried to the small cross that served as a head. There was a chorus of voices around, a quick surging forward of the crook. It was what that stole my hand! I buried the wound in my coat pocket. "Well, I said, trying to speak naturally, "doesn't that prove what I have been telling you? The man who committed the murder belonged to this. Birth, and made an exchange in some way after the crime. How do you know he didn't change, the tags so I would come back to this berth?" This was an inspiration; I was pleased with it. "That's what he did, he changed the tags." I reiterated. There was a murmur of assent around. The doctor, who was standing beside me, put his hand on my arm. "If this gentleman committed this crime, and I for one feel sure he did not, then who is the fellow who got away! And why did he go?" "We have only one man's word for that," the conductor snarled. "I've traveled in these cars myself, and no one ever changed berths with me." Somebody on the edge of the group was by daylight. He glanced up and caught the eye of the girl in blue. "They are all mad," he said. Her tone was low, but I heard her distinctly "Don't take them seriously enough to defend yourself." "I am glad you think it did." I observed meekly, over the crowd. "Nothing else is of any importance." The conductor had pulled out his note-book again "Your name, please," he said grumfy "Lawreco Blakeley. Washington." "Your occupation?" "Attorney A member of the firm of Blakeley & McKnight" Mr Blakeley, you say you have尝尝 with and have been robbed. Do you know anything of the man who did it? "Only from what he left behind," I answered 'These clothes—' "They fit you,' he said with quick suspicion 'I can't that rather a coincidence' You are a large man" "Good heavens' I retorted, stung to fury 'do I look like a man who would wear this kind of a necktie' Do you suppose I carry purpule and green barred silk handkerchiefs? Would any man in his senses wear a pair of shoes a full size too small?" The conductor was inclined to hedge. You will have to grant that in a situation he said 'I have only your word as to the exchange of berths, and you understand I am merely doing my duty Are there any claws in the pockets?' For the second time I emptied them of their contents, which he noted "Is that all?" he fintailed "There was nothing else." C. Nothing." "That's not all sir" broke in the porter, stepping forward "There was a small black satchel." "That so." I exclaimed "I forgot the bag. I don't even know where it is." The easily swayed crowd looked suspicious again. I grew so accustomed to reading the faces of a jury, seeing them swing from doubt to belief, and back again to doubt. that I instinctively watch expressions I saw that my forgetfulness had done me harm—that suspicion was roused again. The bag was found a couple of seats under somebody's raincoat—another dubious circumstance. We hid it." It was brought to the berth and placed beside the conductor, who opened it at once It contained the usual traveling impetida—change of linen, collars, handkerchiefs, a bronze-green scarf, and a safety razor. But the attention of the crowd rived itself on a flat, flat surface, which, in contrast to which a heavy gum band was wrapped and which bore in gilt letters the name "Simon Harrington." CHAPTER VII A Fine Gold Chain Brain The conductor held it out to me, his face sternly accusing "In this another coincidence?" he asked. Did the man who left you his clothes and the barred slik hand kercies and the tight shoes leave you the spoil of the murder? The men standing around had drawn off a little, and I saw the absolute futility of any remonstrance. Have you ever seen a fly, who, in hygienic light, finding no cobwebs, digged him, is caught in a sheet of fly paper, himself more and more mired, and is finally quiet with the sticky stillness of despair. Well, I was the fly. I had seen too much of circumstantial evidence to have any belief that the establishing of my identity would weigh much against the other incriminating details. It immeant imprisonment and trial, probably, with all the notoriety and loss of practice they would entail. A man thinks quickly at a time like that. All the probable consequences of the finding of that pocketbook flashed through my mind as I extended my band to take it. Then I drew my arm back. I don't want it." I said. "Look inside. The other man took the money and left me behind." The conductor opened it, and again there was a curious urging forward of the crowd. To my intense disappointment the money was still there. I stood blankly usable while it was counted out—five $100 bills, six twenties and some fives and ones that brought the total to $550. The little man with the note-book insisted on taking the numbers of the notes, to the conductor's annoyance. It was material to me: Small things had lost their power to irritate. I was boeing myself in the prisoner's box, going through all the nerve-tracking routine of a trial for murder—the challenging of the jury, the endless oppose-commissions, the fear. I believe I said before that I had no nerves, but for a few minutes that morning I was as near as a man ever comes to hysteria. I folded my arms and gave myself a mental shake. I seemed to be the center of a hundred eyes, expressing every shade of doubt and distrust, but I fried not to flinch. Then some one created a diversion. The amateur detective was buoyed again with the sealink bag, investing in the manufacturer's safety razor and the manufacturer's safety on bronze-gee nets. Now, however, he paused and frowned, as though some pot theory had been unset. Then from a corner of the bag he takes a piece of gold and then dons three inches of the gold "I Don't Want It," I Said. chain, one end of which was blackened and stained with blood! The conductor hold out his hand for it, but the little man was not ready to give it up. He turned to me. "You say no watch was left you? Was there a piece of chain like that?" "No chain at all," I said sulkily "No jewelry of any kind, except plain gold buttons in the shirt I am wearing." "Where are your glasses?" he throw at me suddenly, instinctively my hand went to my eyes. My glasses had been gone all morning, and I had not even noticed their absence. The little man smiled cyclically and held out the chain. "I must ask you to examine this," he insisted. "I don't it a part of the fine gold buttons you wear." I didn't want to touch the thing. The stain at the end made me shudder. But with a baker's dozen of suspicious eyes—well, we'll say it—there were no one ocelied man—I took the fragment in the tips of my fingers and looked at it helplessly. "Very fine chains are much alike," I managed to say. "For all I know, this may be mine but I don't know how it got into that" *realsink bag*. I never saw the bag until this morning after daylight. "He admits that he had the bag," somebody said behind me. "How did you guess that he wore glasses, anyhow" to the amateur sleuth. That gentleman cleared his throat. "There were two reasons," he said, "for assembling it. When you see a man with the lines of his face drooping, a healthy individual with a pensive eye—suspect assignism. Besides this gentleman has a pronounced line across the bridge of his nose and a mark on his ear from the chain." After this remarkable exhibition of the theoretical as combined with the practical, he sank into a seat near by, and still holding the chain sat with closed eyes and purred lips. It was evident to all the car that the solution of the mystery was a question of moments. Once he bent forward eagerly and putting the chain on the window, he put it on the pocket magnifying glass, so to shake his head in disappointment. All the people around shock their heads, too, although they had not the slightest idea what it was about. The pounding in my cars began again. The group around me seemed to be suddenly motionless in the gory act of moving, as if a hypnotist had called "Rigid" The girl in blue was looking at me, and above the din I thought she said she must speak to me something vital. The pounding grow harder and merged into a scream. With a grinding and splintering the car rose under my feet. Then it fell away into darkness. CHAPTER VIII. The Second Section: Have you ever been picked up out of your three-meals-a-day life, whirled around in a tornado of events, and landed in a situation so grotesque and yet so horrible that you laugh gyrn while you are grooming, and straining at its hopelessness? McKnight says that is hysterical, and that no man worthy of the name ever admits to it. Also, as McKnight says, it sounds like a tank drama. Just as the revolving saw is about to cut the hero into lengths, the second is up the roof, the hero goes up through the roof and alights on the bank of a stream at the foot of his lady love, who is making daly chats. Nevertheless, when I was safely home again, with girls. Klopton brewing strange drinks that came in paper packets from the pharmacy, and that smelled to heaven. I remember staggering to the door and closing it, and then going back to bed and howling out the absurdity and the madness of the whole thing. And while I laughed my very soul was sick, for the girls was gone by that time, and I knew by the loyalty that answers between men for honor that I would have to push out of my mind. And I saw all the bad that followed, filled as if I were with the shrieking demons of pain. I saw her as I had seen her last. In the queer hat with green ribbons. I told the doctor this, gruppedly, the next morning, and he said I was the morpha, and that I was lucky not to have seen a row of devils with green tails. 1 I don't know anything about the wreck of September 9 last. You who swallowed the details with your coffee and digested the horrors with your shop, probably gave a great deal more than I do. I remember very distinctly that the jumping and throbbing in my arm brought me back to a world that at first was nothing but sky, a heap of clouds that I thought hardly were the marinage on a blue charlotte ruse. As the sense of hearing was slowly added to vision, I heard a woman near me sobbing that she had lost her hat pin, and still couldn't keep her hat on. I think I dropped back into unconsciousness again, for the next thing I sky clouded with smoke, of a roaring and crackling, of a rain of dory sparks in my face and of somebody boating at me with foose hands. I opened my eyes and closed them again. The girl in blue was bending over me. With that imperiousness SATURDAY. .....MAY 16, 1910 To big things and keenness to small that is the first effect of shock. I tried to be facetious, when a spark stung my cheek "You will have to rouse yourself" the girl was repeating desperately "You've been in fire twice already" A piece of striped tiked floating slow ly over my head. As the wind caught it its charring edges leaped into flame "Looks like a kite, doesn't it" I remarked cheerfully. And then, as my arm gave an exercising throb— Jove, how my arm hurts" The girl bent over and spoke slow ly, distinctly, as one might speak to a deaf person or a child "Listen Mr. Biskeley," she said earnestly. You must rote yourself There has been a terrible accident. The second section ran into us. The wreck is burning now, and if we don't move, we will catch fire. Do you hear? Her voice and my arm were bring ing me to my senses. "I hear," I said. "Then It's Too Late to Help," She Replied, Solomly "I—I'll sit up in a second. Are you hurt?" "No, only bruised. Do you think you can walk?" I drew up one foot after another, gingerly "They seem to move all right." I remarked dubiously "Would you mind telling me where the back of my head has gone?" I can't help thinking it isn't there. She made a quick examination. "It's pretty badly bumped," she said "You must have fallen on it." I had got up on my uninjured elbow that time but the pain threw me back "Don't look at the wreck." I entreated her "It a no sight for a woman. If if there is any way to tie up this arm I might be able to do something. There may be people under those cars." "Then it is too late to help she replied solemnly. A little shower of feathers each carrying its fierce lamp blow over us from some burning pillow. A part of the wreck collapsed with a crash. In a revolt endeavour to play a man a part in the tragedy going on all around I got to my knees. Then I realized what I had not noticed before. The hand and wrist of the broken left arm were jammed through the handle of the soakin's grip it gasped and sat down sadly. You must not do that, the girl insisted. I noticed now that she kept her back to the wreck her eyes averted "The weight of the traveling bag must be agony, let me support the valsle until we can get it cut off." "Will it have to be cut off?" I asked as calmly as possible. There were red hot stains of agony clear to my neck, but we were moving slowly away from the track "Yes," she replied, with dumfounded coolness. "If I had a knife I could do it myself. You might sit here and lean against this fence." By that time my returning faculties had realized that she was going to cut off the satchel not the arm. The disness was leaving and I was gradually becoming myself. "If you pull, it might come," I suggested. "And with that weight gone, I think I will cease to be five feet eleven inches of baby." She tried gently to loosen the handle, but it would not move, and at last, with great drops of cold perspiration over me, I had to give up. "I'm afraid I can't stand it," I said. "But there's a knife somewhere around these clothes, and if I can find it, perhaps you can cut the leather." As I gave her the knifes she turned it over, examining it with a peculiar expression, bewilderment rather than surprise. But she said nothing. She set to work detily, and in a few minutes the hat dropped free. "That's better," I declared, sitting up. "Now, if you can pin my sleeve to my coat, it will support the arm so we can get away from here." "The pin might give," she objected, "and the jerk would be terrible." She looked around, pussed; then she got up, coming back in a minute with a dragged, partly scorched sheet. This she tore into a large square, and after she had folded it, she slipped it under the broken arm and tied it securely at the back of my neck. The retail was immediate, and, picking up the sealak bag, I walked slowly by beside her, away from the track. The first art was over; the curtain Patriates those who advertise in THE FLANE. MY SOME FIGHTING THAT THE JEFFERSON FAMILY DID BEFORE MY TIME. FAMILY DID BEFORE MY TIME. HERE at the start I want to say that I am an American all the way through I was born in America, and so were all of my forefathers for two full centuries ahead of me. The original stock of the Jeffries family was Scandinavian or Norse A knight in armor is fighting a bear. GOEFFREY KILLED A BEAR WITH HIS SWORD AND SAVED THE LIFE OF RICH AND GOEFFREY viking. It has been traced back to Normandy in the year 900, or just about there. In 1000 my ancestors went to England on aighting trip with William the Conqueror. The family's name was spelled according to the owner's taste in those days. At first it was Godfidrides, then Godfrey, Godofrey and Godfrey. Later it went through new changes—Godfieroy, Jeffery, Jeeferery, Jeeferery, Jeeferery, Jeeferery, Jeeferery, with a few other variations. There is a tradition that a certain Geoffrey fought in the crusades and once saved the life of Richard Coeur do Lion, when he was attacked by a bear in the hills near the city of Jaffa, killing the bear with his sword. This old Geoffrey may or may not have been an ancestor of mine, and I will not try to fill these pages with records extending back a thousand years. I'll start with the first of my family who came to America. He was Robert Jeffries, named after some Norman English ancestor away back in the year 1108, whose name was spelled Rolf Godefroy. This Robert Jeffries was born in Wiltshire, England, in 1056. He came to America in the year 1681 and settled at Uplands, now Chester, Pa., where he died in 1789, leaving a large family. Several of his sons afterward moved to Virginia. My great-grandfather, William Jeffries, settled in Fairfield county, O. It was a wild country then My grandfather, Jaimes Jeffries, for whom I was named, was one of the children in who made the journey from Virginia in the six horse prairie school or He was renowned for his profligious strength. When he was six years old he could drive a four horse team. When he grew up he was six feet and two inches tall and weighed 220 pounds, and no one in all that country could equal his feats of lifting. He was noted, too, for the fact that he never drank, smoked, swore or lied in his life. My grandfather stayed on his father's farm until he was twenty-four, when he married Mary Bandum, the daughter of another frontier farmer, and set up a home of his own. In their log cabin, sixteen feet square, their fourteen children were born. The fourth son received the highly romantic name Alexis Cohen Jeffries. This was my father. He grew big and powerful like all the other men of the Jeffries family. When my father married he and his wife wint twenty miles away from the old folks to a home of their own on a half cleared farm of 100 acres not far from Carroll, O. There they built a log cabin of two stories. My father was a devout churchgoer for many years, but finally turned evangelist and prescribed in the open air, declaring that churches were a wasteless expense and that the money spent on them should be devoted to the poor instead. I was born in the old log cabin on THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. STORY OF MY LIFE FOR THE BREAKFAST TABLE Simple Dishes, Easily Prepared, That Will Give Variety to the Morning Meal.

So I suppose if I hadn't taken up fighting as a profession I might have had an good chance to become president of the United States as Abe Lincoln, James Garfield and other log cabin man. On my mother's side I descend from the earliest Holland Dutch settlers in this country. My mother's home was in Boyertown, Pa., and her name was Rebecca Boyer. Her father was Christopher Boyer, and he was a strapping big follow too. He was a natural fighter, and they say that when he died over fifty years ago he carried the scars of many a hard ring battle fought with bare fists. He was the champion of his part of Pennsylvania and fought for the fun of it. So I suppose fighting is in my blood and I come by the fighting instinct naturally. At any rate, having a few fighting ancestors has always fussified me with a good argument and a good excuse at home. When I was born in the old log cabin my fighting weight was just fourteen pounds. My parents never suspected at the time that they were bringing up the future world's champion of the ring. To develop me gradually they start ed by making a strong, healthy farmer boy of me, my father always contending that to round out a natural life a man should work hard until forty years of age and after that should turn to the cultivation of the spirit. On this theory he has never given up hope for me in spite of my ring caerer. I've always been grateful for the right kind of a start. for if I'd been brought up in a city like some boys, with no healthy and natural out of door life, I might not have been worth much as a fighter. It was in 1831 that my father took his family to California, where we settled down on a ranch just outside the city of Los Angeles. Father built a fine fourteen room house and laid out ninety-seven acres of fruit trees. Our place was at Arroyo Seco canyon Arroyo Seco means dry river. This was a grand home for us. There were my two older sisters and one younger, Lizzie, Alameda and Lillie, and my brothers Cal, John, Tom and Charlie, afterward known as Jack. I don't think any of us stunted our growth working on the ranch. When father went away to town in the morning he'd send me to do some work in the field. After a little while the sun would get up and the sand would be pretty hot. Then I'd go back to the house and tell mother it was too hot FIFTEEN OR TWENTY MILES THROUGH BAND AS HOT AS THE TOP OF A BOLLER to work. I'd explain that the sand was too hot to stand in barefooted and I didn't want to wear my shoes. Then I'd get out my shotgun and stuff a lot of cartridges into my pockets and start for a hunt. I'd walk fifteen or twenty miles barefooted through sand and gravel as hot as the top of a boiler and over rocks and brush and come home with a few quail or some nice fat dogs. Father would be at home. He'd look at me severely and say "Jim, Is suppose you finished your work this morning?" "No, sir. It got too hot." "Was it too hot to go hunting?" "No, sir, not in the shade." "A hum" he'd say "And did you get anything?" Then I'd go eat to the kitchen and bring in the game. He'd frown a little to show he hadn't forgotten telling me to work in the field, but then he'd smile, for he was a man very fond of game, and he couldn't resist the charm of a brace of plump quail. At the worst I could always depend upon my mother. She could never see anything wrong in what her boys did. "Speaking of meeting the same thing under different names," she said a clergyman, "rommels me of the old carteraker of an Epicapital church. This carteraker as he sat smoking his pipe on a tomb in the cemetery dismissed as trivial certain changes in the ritual. "The good old creed keeps the same for all," said he. "Look at me here. I used to be the janitor. The new person called me the sextant. Dr. Tairdly give me the name of virgin, and the young man we've got now says I'm the sacrilege." Noll-She used to boast that she was one of the charter members of the Woman's Suffrage club. She doesn't appear to be as proud of it now. Belle-Oh, she's just as proud, but you know, the club was organized eighteen years ago, and she must have been at least twenty when she joined.

Cut bread thin and if it is not too old it can be folded after removing the crust and be held together with toothpicks. Toast the slices in the oven. When done put pieces of butter over each and serve the rolls with fried eggs. For the invalid's breakfast beat the white of an egg and place it in a buttered drinking glass. Lay the yolk on top, dot with butter, season and cook in a pan of boiling water until done. Soak codfish, the boxed variety, and mix it with one egg and mashed potatoes twice the bulk of the fish, roll into balls, then coat with egg and cracker crumbs and fry. Got salted square crackers, cut thin slices of cheese, place on the crackers, dot with butter, toast and serve while the cheese is hot. Broad-crumb cakes are made by soaking stale bread in buttermilk, using it with the usual batter in the place of flour and adding just enough flour to thicken the batter. Beat one egg, add seasoning to it and a little water. Cut bread, dip slices into the mixture and fry brown. This is often served with poached eggs. Boll dried beef a few minutes in water to remove the salt and to make it tender. Put the beef into, hot butter, fry a second make gravy with flour and milk, boil for a minute and serve with small pieces of coast. Cold-boiled him if fried from excessive fat and fried is palatable served in butter gravy. TO STRETCH. THE CURTAINS Frame Must Be Perfectly Straight If the Result is to Be Satisfactory. To insure proper hanging of curtains the frames in which they are stretched must stand straight. Carelessness here can not be righted afterward. Carefully stretched, the next special feature is the pressing. All points are carefully pressed, the edges being steam dampened by using the iron over a wet cloth. Hook holes along the plain edge are obliterated by dampening and working between the fingers. A taped edge made wavy and irregular by the hooks is straightened by working the steam dampened curves outward with one hand while pressing with the other. Any slack or tension of material may be steamed out with a wet cloth and iron. The same process, using several thicknesses of cloth, will remove traces of unfortunate scorching a fact not generally known. Iron rust sometimes resulting from contact with corroded hooks may be removed by application of salt and lemon juice, steaming it out as above, steam being more effusive than the time honored sun in removing rust stains. Large holes are machine moulded or caught up by hand small ones are steam dampened, opposite threads crossed over and held by a gin point while the iron is being up PHONE We offer you, the latest and moderate figure, than you can ob- serve.

Slift together two plats of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, two heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar, and three teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Rub in one large tablespoonful of hard and the same of butter, then stir in one scant cupful of sultana raisins. Mix to a soft dough with sweet milk and roll out an inch thick. Fit the dough in greased pie plate, then cut almost through in two long slashes, so that it will be divided into large quarters. Brush over the top with milk in which a little sugar is dissolved, and bake in a hot oven. As soon as done, break each circular cake into quarters, tear each scene open, lay in a gournous piece of butter, put together again and plio on a warm plate. Turpentine Tips. If a housewife fully realizes the value of turpentine she would never be without it. It gives quick relief to burns, is excellent applied to corn, good for outward application for sore throats and rheumatism. By putting a few drops in the corners and cheats will prevent moths, by putting a few drops in the corners or little rags soaked in it in the shelves of cupboards will keep away ants; if applied occasionally to all joints of bedsteads will keep away all fleas, etc.; also a spoonful added to each painful of water is excellent for cleaning paint, floors, etc. Great Kitchen Convenience. Funnels, or tunnels, as they are now often called, made of stiff paper and of different sites, will prove of the greatest convenience in kitchen work. The paper may be sowed together or fastened with flour paste. The funnels come in handy when putting coffee, sugar or salt in the canisters. Filling the centers of cored apples with sugar when the fruit is to be baked is another use to which one of the cones may be put. Too Busy to Remember.

GOLDFIELD TEXT He that is not with me begins at the end but a gathereth not with me at the end abrood Mark 1. 10 PLACE Him where in Gladstone very likely in paper in Suggestion and Practical Thought A Wicked Charge Against Jesus—Vs 2224 What gave rise to this charge against Jesus? The healing of "one possessed with a devil blind and dumb" In the similar event recorded in Matt 9:3234 the demonic was dumb only. This case though described so briefly was "a striking miracle, in truth three miracles in one"—Row David Smith Dumb Devils Many, even of Christians, are troubled with dumb devils without realizing it Our speech is a Godlike faculty given us to be used for God, in prayer to him-private prayer family prayer public prayer—in telling others about his goodness, in kindly praise of what is worthy and in bold condemnation of all that is evil What was the result of the miracle? As always in such cases it was a savor of death to death and of life to life. On the one hand 'all the people' (the common folks that saw it done, or afterward saw the happy man seeing or heard him speaking) 'were amazed,' as well 'they might be,' and said, is not this the son of laud!" But, on the other hand the Pharisees had an unfavorable interpretation. In their hatred of Christ they had come all the way from Jerusalem (Mark) to get material for some charge against him "He hath Reeled-hub" they asserted shamelessly (Mark) Why did the Pharisees make this abominable charge? They were jealous of Christ and envious of his power over human hearts and lives. The Crushing Reply Vs 230 "The way in which which dealt with these men is among one of the most wonderful features of the Gospel. It sheds light upon many things but it sheds a peculiar light upon him and upon the spirit that was in him" • Horton. What was Christ's first argument? The argument of the divided house "Every kingdom said Christ, divided against itself in civil war, brought to desolation and every city or house, household, divided against itself by quarrelling factions and family strife, shall not stand." What was Christ's second argument? The argumentum ad hominem "If I by Beelzebu cast out devils urged Christ by whom do your children," the Jewish exorcists "cast them out" What is Christ's third argument? The argument of the castle or palace "Now how" Christ asks "could I enter the castle unless I were stronger than Satan* And how could I regain the spoil that Satan has stolen the rich spoil of health and character and happiness, without proving myself the enemy of Satan*" What was Christ's fourth argument? The argument of the two sides "He that is not with me is against me" An Awful Warning As 31 37 The foregoing was a terrible warning but Christ did not seem it severe enough What was Christ a warning for such men* That there is an unpardonable sin, blasphemy against the Holy Ghost What, then, is this blasphemy against the spirit? "It is no sudden, angry blasphemy. Whoever fears that he has committed it and prays for pardon is worlds away from it." W. Robertson Nicoll L.I. D. How did Christ himself illustrate these truths? By three condensed parables as 33-37. The parable of the tree and its fruit, the parable of the viper and the parable of the treasure. Christ's Suffert Attestation—Vs 38-45. The serpent and Pharisees answered Christ's declaration that he was of God and they in their wicked opposition from the devil by demanding a sign that he some miracle that would confirm these tremendous claims. Why was this as Christ called it, a wicked demand? Because Christ had given them signs in great plenty. What was the sign of the prophet Jonas that 'Christ offered?' Christ's resurrection As Jonas was three days and three nights in the body of the sea monster (for the word translated "whale" means sea monster) in general) so Christ would be three days and three nights. In the grave and then would rise from the dead. Why was this a sufficient sign? It was the greatest miracle possible—greater than to raise others from the grave. It was the crowning evidence that our Lord was the divine fountain of life. How Men Reject Christ — They do not reject him immediately and consciously. They draw away from him by degrees and without realizing what is happening in their lives. Like the Pharisees, they gradually form the habit of pride and selfishness. Like Judas, they come insensibly to love money more than God and right. Like Pilate, they grow away from the love intimates White House Is Not Ideal Residence. Richard Kinsella, president of the Springfield club in the Three I league, has purchased full control of the team, paying Minary and Conkling $6,000 for their interest. The president of the Springfield team is one of the good fellows in baseball and has scores of friends in his own league as well as in the big organizations of baseball. The Springfield team has been the training school of several stars now in the major leagues. Training in the Three I having started followers of the game around the circuit have commenced to make comparisons on the relative playing strength of the teams. Based upon their great showing last year Springfield and Rock Island are generally regarded as strong contenders again for first division honors, and it is believed that both will be stronger than last year. The other teams have been strengthened in many positions, and it will be puzzling to determine the strongest teams until the season is under headway. The schedule of the league's games for this season, printed herewith, seems to give no club any particular advantage and has been approved by the magnates, players and fans.

Like Herod they lose their purity and manliness day by day, and sink inch by inch into the pit of sensuality.

A photo last was one of the founders in the afternoon the president made an address to the local legion. Here he gave vent to bitterness and for the first time on the present day showed that the White House to him is not the ideal place of residence It is a pleasure to tell the present that he is to one hour and espioe with you. Have the gently but for you short逗响 to smuggle up, se to those who are fond of you who have respect for you whatever happens and what they have great the obstacles a and however severe in other parts of the country may be you are doing the best you can. The president told the old soldier that it might seem strange, to them that the present commander in the army and navy was a man who had never smelt powder, but he plained that he was born in 167 and was too young to go into the Civil War and that when the Spanish War broke out he was hardly physically fit for all living. During the day the president four time to talk to Arthur Vorys former manager of the campaign in this state and Wade H. Fills, once upon a thirtieth treaty officer of the department of state, and now chairman of the office. Republican state committee. The committee of the party and its chair in the fall can plan were discussed. The reports to the president were not inraging. Mr. Tatt had little to say about the way he was being treated by the administrator's railroad bill. When they that the senate had started to write that measure so it the senate and said that frequently such objections were in nature. It was known however that the president is getting tired of the way in which some members of his party are acting with regard to his legislative program and it is possible he may do something soon that will start the country. The crowning event of the day was the May festival, held at Music hall. The big stage was packed to the doors and or so prizes were given for acads. Harold Judas Musson burst was given and the enthusiasm of the crowd was great. During the information the president unveiled a statue of Theodore Thomas one of the first candidates of the May festival. The president spoke of the influence of art and music on the people and was able to tell some day the Americans will realize the value of all that is important. Following the concert the president was the guest of the Queen City hotel at a dinner. He then left for St Louis the last city on the schedule of the present trip.

The authorities say that a convict wearing a Mother Hubbard will find it very difficult to escape and that the health of the prisoners will be promoted by this garbding bad weather. The court is bitterly opposed the change, but the authorities found means to make them don the Mother Hubbards and so clothed they were put to work on the street. The spectacle of fifty able-hodled men working in Mother Hubbards caused much unusual comment during the day.

New York May 4 Oom the Omnipotent One who says he is a native of India, but looks more like a dapper American was held in $15,000 ball in the West Side court for a further hearing on the charge of luring away young girls and holding them prisoners in his Mystic Temple which is a fashionable residence at 250 West Seventy-fourth street, a few doors from the home of Frank H Platt. "Oom" in private life is Pierre A Bernard, aged thirty three an instructor in physical culture and a teacher in languages His "hypnotic" influence or so it is called is said to have lured one girl all the way from Tacoma Wash, to New York. Several pretty girls of well-dressed appearance and presumably of good breeding appeared in court to tell of their imprisonment in "Oom's" establishment and what went on there. Zella Hopp, a milliner, nineteen years old, Gertrude Loe, recently of Tacoma, Wash., and another girl whose name was not disclosed, testified against Bernard Miss Hopp gave evidence which led to the raid on the "House of Mystery" and the arrest of Bernard and his "puppis." Miss Hopp said that Bernard got women to undergo the treatment, after he had diagnosed their cases as heart trouble He got, she testified, a preliminary fee of $100 and then they paid him $20 for a bathing suit and gymnastic outfit Miss Hopp said she knew so much about Bernard and his cures because she herself had been a prisoner in his "temple" and only escaped after being held there as prisoner for several weeks. Miss Hopp wrote to her sister, Mrs Hanford, about what was going on in Bernard's establishment The latter hurried to New York and made complaint to the police. These women accompanied Detective Callahan and Captain Thompson on the raid and worked the secret signal with the doorbell. The lower floor was deserted, but weird chanting was heard from stairs Captain Thompson and his me hustled up the steps, and in a room on the second floor they found five girls, attired in men's bathing suits, and eight elderly men. The men were on their haunches around a rug in the middle of the floor, upon which the girls were dancing under the direction of Bernard, who was attired in a long robe and was standing on a glass ball on the rug. "What means this intrusion?" demanded Bernard as the policemen entered the room. Just then Mrs. Hanford and Zella Hopp appeared. One of the girls, who wore a scanty pink bathing suit, ran to Mrs. Hanford and fell into her arms, weeping. It was Gertrude Leo. "So this is your revenge," said Bernard to Zella Hopp. "You're sore because you're jealous of Gertrude." "Zim-zim-zim-zee-zee-zee," chanted one of the girls in the bathing suits. "She is putting a curse on me!" cried Gertrude Leo. "That is Oom's curse." Detective Callahan, going into further particulars regarding the scene in the Mystic Temple, said the big rug in the center of the room was marked off in squares, each large enough for one person to squat on.

The DAIRY Nothing will keep up a farm like a good herd of cows. Provide some device for supplying water in the stable for the cows For dairying and cattle feeding, the silo is now considered almost indispensable The cows that have the most comfort are the ones that give the owner the most profit We can't reasonably expect a cow to pay well or be happy if her feed is distasteful to her. To be a successful dairyman and to make your dairy pay, you should know what each cow consumes and what each produces. There are several good ways to water cows. They can be watered from the manger or by individual buckets or from a tank It is less work to feed a calf out of the pail after the first three or four feeds than to bother with letting it go to its mother twice a day. Give the cows all the sweet apples you can find. Fed with the grain ration, the cows enjoy them and the results will be seen in the pail. If the dairyman will give the same care and attention to his daifying as does the specialist in any other line of business, success will attend his labors. Don't overlook the fact that one of the fastest and surest ways in the dairy to make money is to keep always weeding out the poorest milk and badly-dying cows. SEPARATOR SAVES THE CREAM At Least One-Fifth of Fat Is Preserved That Otherwise Would Be Loat In Buttermilk. It is my experience the cream separator saves one-fifth of the fat which would otherwise be lost in the skim milk writes F. W. Culbertson in Missouri Valley Farmer. It saves time, labor, room, water, ice, inumerable pans and cans, hauling and freight charges. We obtain richer cream with the hand separator and there is less to cool and churn. Sweet cream can be sold at good prices. The butter made from separator cream is better and sells for more money than that made from hand-skimmed milk. The warm, sweet skim milk for feeding does away with scours in calves and pigs. With five or more coats the cream separator will pay for itself the first year.

One of the chief difficulties is that practically nothing can be predicted from the looks of an animal, if he has the inherent characteristics of transmitting good dairy qualities or not. Who will undertake to judge by the appearance of a bull if he is one that will transmit fine dairy qualities or whether he is worthless? The man who will discover some means of no judging will confer a benefit on breeders that can scarcely be estimated. There are two principles that are especially concerned with breeding and should be kept in mind. The first is that "like producers like" and the second is the law of "natural variations." The dairy cow of today is largely an artificial product, or perhaps it would be better to say that she is an abnormality since her mammary glands have been abnormally developed by taking advantage of the law of natural variations. The rule of "like produces like" is only true to a limited extent and the farther we get away from the original type in breeding the smaller the proportion of cases where it holds good. This accounts for the fact often observed that the offspring of a phenomenal cow are often disappointing. However it will be found that on the average there will be more good animals among the offspring of such a cow than among those from a cow of moderate or low dairy capacity. We must always expect to find inferior animals appearing frequently in all hards. Nb breeder can prevent it, but no good breeddr falls to reject the inferior ones promptly when discovered. The higher developed we get our cows the more difficulty we must expect in keeping them all up to the standard CASE TO HOLD THE STOCKS Acceptable Gift, at Once Useful and Ornamental, May Be Made at Home. Stocks for the neck are difficult to pack without a case. A holder is useful and may be made ornamental enough to make an acceptable card prize. Out two strips of cardboard 16 inches long and eight inches wide. Cover first with cotton batting on each side. This should be smoothly pasted so it just reaches the edges. For outer covering any fancy ribbon, cretonne or art canvas can be used. Select white or pale cream for inside of case or the palest tone of design of cover. Baste the outside on first, turn edge over, then baste the lining and overcast the edges together. A new finish is a drill of inch-wide matin ribbon, shirred to the edges of both pieces. For hard use this is better omitted, as it crushes easily and is a dust catcher. The two finished parts are held to together by ribbons sewed three inches from each end and tled into bows. A Full line of Reed and Folding Go-Carts of the latest styles, can be seen on our floor at very low price Wakefield Home. O:-Quality Hi NITURE For utility the joining may be of corp ored elastic leaving a quarter of an inch between the overcast edges. Elastic or ribbon should be stretched diagonally from the bows to the center of front edge on each piece. Leave ends to tie, or with letter have a loop and button fastening. Good looking covers for such cases can be made from moire or linen tafeta in floral or pale gray, embroidered with a floral design in ribbon work or with conventional designs of fancy stitches, the edges outlined or couched with gold thread A simpler case can have an inch wide border made from graduated dots, with a monogram or initials worked in heavily padded satin stitch in the middle. Where the holder is intended for a prize the word "Stocka" can be substituted for the monogram. Stylistic combinations for such work would be blue and white, gray and white, scru and brown, pale yellow and orange, violet and purple. If the lighter tone is used on the material make the dotted border and lettering dark, or the reverse. GINGHAM HAS GREAT VOGUE Material Just Now Especially Popular to Make Up Frocks for Youngaters. Gingham frocks for youngsters are much in vogue, the brightest combination of coloring in the weave and the stanch quality of the material adapting them especially to childish wardrobes The Russian blouse effect is seen in most of these, the plain material generally used as trimming is run up the side as well as around the neck and sometimes around the plaited skirt. The wide leather belt is worn with those of thinner material for less strenuous wear Pique is much in favor for children, and when it does not constitute the entire garment, it is used for trimming little frocks, and comes in many variations heretofore undreamed of. Frocks of this maternal, made with one-piece yoke and sleeves, the square neck outlined with hand made scallops and the little dress cut on the plainest lines by means of a circular-gored pattern, outgrow their popularity for the mothers who consider the simple and the practical as necessities in the childish outfit TO HOLD FAVORITE PHOTOS Pretty Pocket, Both Decorative and Useful, Can Be Constructed In Short Time. One always has more photographs than it is possible to stand about the room in frames, and yet it is nice to have them in some handy place to look at. A pretty little pocket, such as the one illustrated here, is at once decorative and useful. It has an oval back of cardboard covered with silk lightly embroidered at the edge. The pocket is in velvet arranged in a wide box plait, which is lined with silk; then the folds of the plait tacked down to keep them in position; the edges are turned over the card and fixed by a few drops of seccoutine, then the whole is made neat at the back by a covering of sateen; a small gilt ring is fixed at top of back, then ribbon is passed through it and tied in a loopy bow and ends; another gilt ring is sown to the back of the bow by which the pocket is suspended from a gail in the wall.

An odd situation has arisen over the McLean case. Griffith suspended McLean for infractions of the club rules and then big Larry turned around and resigned Griffith accepted the resignation. This caused a stir in the baseball world, for no team ever lets a player get away by resigning. Then it was explained that the resignation didn't count that McLean still belongs to the Cincinnati team and can't play any place else even though the manager did accept his resignation. Griffith thinks, so it is reported, that a year's lay-off would do McLean good. He says the big catcher is a disturbing element, that he has another catcher who is equally as good anyway and ```markdown ``` Larry McLean. McLean won't be missed. Last son son when McLean's knee cap was fractured in a game Griffith sang another tune. Then McLean was badly missured, and it was feared he never would be able to play again. The McLean case may finally call for another of those long winded opinions by the National commission such as was issued in the case of Johnny Kiling, the star catcher of the Cubs, who has paid his $200 fine and will soon be behind the bat for Chance's men. Jake Bockley, veteran first baseman of the minor and major leagues, former manager of the Kansas City club of the American association, has been playing ball for more than 25 years, and during all that time has made a wonderful record both in the minor and major leagues, and it is with some satisfaction that he now assumes the role of manager. He succeeded Monte Cross, the former shortstop of the Philadelphia American - league club, now with Carr's champs. Bockley was born in Hannibal, Mo.

After attending the season there he played through the winter of 1857 at Stockton on Seaford where he made quite a record for himself. In 1858 he was obtained by the St Louis Whites, there being two teams in St Louis at that time the Brownies and the White. Until 62 of that year he was sold to Pittsburgh club of the National league with Harry Staley, a famous player of those days. Beckley remained with the Pittsburgh club until 1891 when he was sold to the New York Giants. In 1891 he was sold by New York to the Cincinnati Reds, and he remained with them until 1901, when he was sold to the St Louis National team. He played there until 1905 when George Tebaeau bought his release and placed him with the Kansas City club where he is still playing. Tebaeau was also considered a great batter and during his long career in the major league he always batted near 100 or over. It is a remarkable record when one stops to consider that this man has been playing big league ball 23 years and has been playing ball more than 25 years during the spring Teebee of the Kansas city club obtained a young first baseman and tried to hold Beckley as a utility player, but it soon became evident that Beckley was far superior to the youngster both in the field and in batting. Lush Had Hard Luck If Ernie Lush fails to make good with the Giants this season, he surely has the right to spring the hard luck tale. Lush was making good until he injured his ankle and the enforced layoff caused him to fall behind. There will be a string attached to Lush when he is farmed out. McGraw thinks well of the younger and proposes to give him another chance. --- Veteran Praises a Recruit Third Baseman Bradley of the Napa, who trained for a time with the Cincinnati Reds at Hot Springs, says that he believes Heather the Springfield (O) boy with the Reds will break all modern base stalling records this year.

Taft had purchased control of the Philadelphia National league club there was a great cry about seeing the baseball because it is pretty well known that the president didn't throw the Chicago Cubs. That he was finally pushed up and brought on board of it recently. Now the central league the players of which is printed today is the fifth of the same kind on the field. As rule allusions of value have been made against Hert A. F. L. South Bend owner of the second Rapids franchise, in particular, against Teddy Wheeler, manager of the South Bend team, and Angus T. of the Ivanville team, in general, as a result of the instinations and charges direct and otherwise. Ann's and Grant issued a positive denial that either had any influence stockier or players in the other's club and offered to make affidavit to that fact. When it was at record that Wheeler had purchased one half the stock in the South bend club from Annis, with full control and management of the affairs of the club with the conditional clause that, Wheeler must buy or sell his franchise to Annis at the close of the trial season, and this after August 19th purchased the Evanvillah club head was sent up at Terre Haute about syndicate baseball F. R. Carson president of the league came to the rescue with the positive, and official statement that Grand did not own in either the South bend club or Grand Rapids club, and that Annis did not control or own one cent of stock in the Evanvillah club. It was through the solicite talk had been stopped. No one denied that Annie owned one half of the Southland club. All the league directors approved of the transaction and they were no secret deals not underhand conferences. Everything was open and above board, and it was announced to all the circuit that Annie owned one half the club but that Wheeler would be compelled to buy or sell at the close of the 1910 season. It is now again reported or alleged, and this time from FT Wayne, that Annie Grant and Wheeler are parties to a associate which plans to run the Central league exchange players an desired and do various other things not consistent, with straight baseball and barred by the rules of the Central.
