SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S.-The home

Los Angeles club by score of six to
five. The main cause of the result was
the inability of the Frisco men to hit
Roach in the latter part of the game. Be-
side playing a poor hitting game, the
Friscos put up very inferior game in

Who first invented wooden legs? Vul-
can was a cripple, and in consequence
of his difficulty in walking he is said to
have made himself an artificial support
of gold; but, as Mr.. Thoms pointed out
long ago, gold is not for every cripple,
and every myth is backed by reality.
Again, the devil, as represented in the
drawings and engravings of the Middle
Ages, is a compound of Pluto and Vul-
can. The latter was elected from Olym-
pus, the devil was cast out OF heaven.
Vulcan was frequently figured with a
beard and pointed cap.
In the edition of Tyndale's New Testa-
ment printed by Jugge in 1882 there is
wood cut representing the devil sowing
tares, and wearing not only the Vulca-
MAN beard and pointed cap, but also a
wooden leg. Another medieval repre-
s~entation of the devil with a wooden leg
may be found in one of the paintings on
the panels Of the pulpit in the ancient
little church of Heligoland. 1t is only
fair, however, to point out that the arti-
fetal support in the Tyndale wood cut
resembles more a clumsy, one legged
stool, upon which the lame leg appears
to be doubled up at the knee, than a sub
stituted wooden limb. After all this
Identification, so far as regards costume
and lameness, of the medieval devil and
the ancient Vulcan, although it opens
up a curious field of speculation to those
who are learned in matters Of compare
tive mythology, yet throws no certain
light on the question as to when the
wooden leg as we know it-a complete
artificial substitute for a lost limb-was
first invented.-AE the Year Round.

Five or six years ago the people of
Colorado City, away out on the rugged
bluffs Of the Colorado river, felt that
they had reached a degree of advance
ment which justified municipal airs.
They thought they ought to have a city
council. When they got that they dis
covered that their water supply wasn't
what it ought to be-. There came in a
class of high toned settlers who weren't
satisfied with whisky and water, but
wanted all water, and good water, too.
The city council in due deliberation
moved in the matter. A considerable
fund was raised and a deep hole was
bored. The drill went down 200 feet.
1t didn't find good drinking water, but
it struck petroleum, eighty feet of rock
salt and other things.
The boring stopped for awhile. Colo
RADIO City offered it's hole for sale, but
found no takers. After awhile some
body thought Of making use of the salt.

A good story was recently told of the
discount clerk in n of the Baltimore
banks. He is a man somewhat along in
years, is a Quaker, and is possessed OF
all the characteristics of that peculiar
religious sect. One day a patron of the
bank came in and submitted a pile OF
notes for discount. The clerk looked
them over in his deliberate way and re-
marked, 'Isaac, if thee will have to
have the money on these notes, indorse
them"
The patron complied, writing his
name in a bold, free hand across the
back of the promises to pay. When
nearly through the list the good OLD
Quaker gently expostulated: "lsaac,
thee should be more careful of thy ink;
thee makes a dreadful waste in thy sig
nature"
In indorsing the next note Isaac, who
was not without the spirit of a wag.
wrote his name so small that the old
Quaker was obliged to adjust his glasses
to see that it was correct. Finally,
handing it back to the customer, he
said, s'Isaac, thee is a very careless
man; thee should always dot thy is and
cross thy t's; the i in thy name, Isaac.
