Mr.. George Jaeger has filled the position
of custodian with great credit, and as a
hustler he has no peer. He at one time
served in the United States army, with the
rank OF captain, and 1t is probably due to
this that he conducts his business with such
military promptr ess." He Is q great en-
thusiast. and is one Of the leagues most
valuable helpers. AS custodian he has been
untiring in his efforts to further the leagues
progress. and that, together with having the
management of the pension office team, has
kept the captain very busy the entire season.

The Washir gton base ball club stopped
over IN Philadelphia yesterday afternoon
and dropped two games to Arthur Twins

Schmelzs men would win the first, for at
the end Of the eighth inning the score stood
. to In their favor, but in the ninth the
Quakers scored three runs on errors by
Maui and Hasamaear, and hits by Sullivan
and Taylor and took the game. In the first
game Washington never let a chance slip
to gain point. In the second contest
however, they SEEM to lose all ginger, and
Pitcher Wynne, Schmelz's latest acquisi-
ton, was given the most Indifferent kind of
support.
According to the Philadelphia Times,
"Wynne pitched good ball from the start,
and for four innings kept the sluggers
down to three hits. The support which he
received In the first inning was simply exc

past week has been one Of the surprises Of
the season. For over two weeks they have
been playing winning ball, and according to
Comiskey, they arranged - play nine

Cincinnati who broke up their fond expecta-
them down twice. Those two defeats are
said to have had such demoraiizing effect
upon the Phillies that they have given up
all hope Of intercepting the coming cham
pions, and their pennant aspirations are
now languishing. Comiskey may be mis-
taken about the PhilIies.

were on our way to Valley City In
search of subscribers, hard looking
stranger stepped out Of the WOODS and
proceeded to hold US up. We had S27
in cash, two guns and watch, and his
alOquence was 80 persuasive that we
quietly surrendered everything. Very
little conversation was INDUCED IN.
The stranger didn't appear to be IN a
talkative mood, and we seemed to have
several things on our mind to worry US
lust then. He didn't ask for our name
and we didn't hand out our card with
the Doodle. AS soon as courtesy would
permit we put spurs TO our cayuse and
cantered away, and TIE matter was not
regarded as of sufficient interest for
publication the following week. On
Friday of last week stranger entered
our ssnctum and laid our lost property
on the table and introduced himself as
the person who despoiled US. He ex-
planned that it was all mistake. He
used to run a county newspaper him'
self, but a combination of circumstances
drove him out of business. He was
feeling low spirited the day he encoun
tered US and did not ask for tae usual
explanations. It was several weeks be-

restitution, as his conscience would not

Cara OF DecIduous Testh.

The child receives its first temporary
tooth about the fifth month after
birth, the dentition being completed at
the age of two years. 1t has been often
said that the nurse cannot be too care
full that these teeth are cleaned with q
soft brush and warm water. The child
usually retains these teeth until the
eruption of the peranent set, the first
permanent tooth appearing about the
sixth year. The deciduous teeth should
be carefully watched, and when a tooth
shows decay consult your dentist, and
have it filed. AT this stage the filling
is not expensive, and will save the
child much pain and trouble from an
aching tooth. Tne early extraction OF
the dcciduous teeth often causes the
Irregularities of the permanent set.
They should be retained until the jaw
has fully expanded to receive the per
ament teeth. Teach the child the neces-
sity of keeping the teeth clean and
pure. The early use OF the toothbrush

years, be considered necessity to
