and shot the ball forward. The little
white sphere, its eyes flaming, made
straight for Mr.. WigQIesworth' vest, and

and dodge, suddenly altered it's course and

The next ball came fair for his bat, you
would say, but just as Mr.. Wigglesworth
raked at it the ball made wide detour,
and his bat s1note the air savagely and
turned him twice around.
"Why don't We throw fair?' he growled
loudly. "Why don't ye throw one I can
hit?" Mr.. Wigglesworth never had heard
of curve pitching.
The hext ball must have been shot from
a cannon. 1t met Mr.. Wigglesworth S bat
and paraIyzed his arms to the shoulder.
"Run, pa-runl'' screamed Willie.
Mr.. Wigglesworth was in a blaze of pain
with the shattering force of the blow.
With a whoop he started for the goal. The
boy with two front teeth missing picked
up the ball. which, in spite of Mr.. Wig

of the boy with two front teeth missing.
He recalled the taunts, he thought Of Al

had left, he took aim and fred. The ball

euracy, and Mr.. Wigglesworth saw it COM
ing. In moments of excessive peril great
minds think rapidly. He recalled a dodg-
ing trick of his youth and stopped quickly
to practice it-stooped just in season to
catch the ball full in the back. Letting
loose yell of pain, he tripped and plowed
down the rest of the base line on his face,
and catching his vest on the base pin tore
open enough of his clothes to enable him
to scoop up nearly eight pecks of wet and
moldy sawdust.
People whe came to their windows soon
afterward were amazed to see a bloody,
disheveled individual wandering about the
vacant lot, bat in each hand and saw
dust pouring out of him at every step.
Shortly before, these people recalled, there
had been 30 boys in the lot, but now the
man was alone. Presently a scared woman
came with tears in her eyes and led the
disheveled man away.
Then they saw that it was Mr. Wiggles-

Il Is to be Papered and Generally Cleaned
Before Fall
The Grand opera house is to>be paint
ed and papered this summer. Bids have
already been asked and Mr.. Crawford
says the workmen will soon be at work
cleaning the entire building. New car
pets will be put down and new paper
will be put up 1t will be as tastefuIly
arranged in these particulars as Topeka
artists in that line can make it and by
the opening night next fall the Grand
will look very different inside. Besides
this the boxes are to come in for a share
Of renovation and the dusty drapings are
to be replaced with clean ones and the
brass ratings will be rubbed up to look
like new, and it is to be hoped will be
made SO solid they can't fall down in the
most dramatic moments.
The light in the front of the house is
10 be much better too The gas pipes
have been "blown" out and the big arc
light in the center of the dome has not
only been lowered but a new one has
been put in under the balcony.
There is some talk also of not only
cleaning up the stage but putting cleo
trio lights there
Mr. Crawford is going to have some
improvements in his house at any rate.
Many receipts as published still call
for cream of-tartar and soda, the old
fashioned way of raising. Modern cook
ing and expert cooks do not sanction this
old way. In all such receipts the ROYAL
Baking Powder should be substituted

The Topeka correspondents of the Chi

pretty wide latitute in the stuff they
send out of Topeka, but they have
stretched the truth too much when they
wire that the women at the suffrage
picnic here adopted the Miss Anthony
resolution unanimously. They did not
adopt it. Of course the Topeka CORES
pondents knew the item was unstable
unless the resolution was adopted, but
they should draw the line q little this
side of a direct falsehood.

hypnotic lawyer" to defend him in the
libel suit with Judge c. G. Foster. Judge
Beekman has the reputation of being
one of the most brilliant criminal lawyers
in the state, and inasmuch as the pro-
ceedings against him are criminal, Major
Hudson thought it was good chance to
give Mr.. Beekman trial.
In case Major Hudson is prosecuted
for libel in every county into which the
Capital circulates, as has been threat
ened, Judge Beekman may have to hire
a few deputies.
