Major and Congressman Baldwin of

perhaps you would not think so, but a
very large proportion of diseases in New

very few people, unless it is a case of
pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold
New York is one of the healthiest places
on the Atlantic Coast and yet there are a
great many cases Of catarrh and con-
sumption which have their origin in this
neglect of the simplest precaution of eve

when you have one get rid of it as soon as
possible. BY all means do not neglect It. y"

handfuls. All at once it dawned
upon the crowd that Jesse was dig
ging for the ball, and roar of
laughter went up all around, the
PLAYERS on both sides joining in.
Jess. however, continued his agri-
cultural labor, and ceased only az
ter Whistler had recovered the ball
and Hines and Hardie had both
scored.
The crowd had no little amount
of sport out of this incident, and
some one was kind enough to sug-
gest that he use a shovel the next
time he went into the field.
But it wasn't Jessie's fault. He
was a victim. BrOdie was standing
near when the ball came out that
way. AS soon as he saw Burkett
wheeling around with the flag in
in his graip, and realized that he
had lost the ball, he called out:

What Brodie meant was not quita
clear, but Burkett saw no hole but
the one from which he had pulled
the foul flag. He looked into that
and, not seeing the ball, dug for It,
with a fury led by the shouts of all
the other team.

unsigned, calls to mind ludicrous
one act comedy which took place
in New York in 1890, with Jess as
the leading comedian. The BOstons
were having their inning at the
plate, with Hines on first. Hardie,
the Californian, hit a safe grounder
out along the foul line. Burkett
put on full head of steam and
made great effort to head off the
ball, when he and the ball and the
foul flag collided. Instead of
grabbing the ball, he got hold OF
the foul flag and pulled it up
while the ball carOmed of toward
the fence.
Burkett wheeled around several
times with the flag in his hands, al
if he were hunting for some place
to plant it. Then he threw it down
