Sage's players not only making
amends for Fridays burlesque, but
furnishing an article edifying to the
cranks. Two games were played.
owing to the necessity of postponing
Saturdays on account of the disa-
greeable elements, and there was
plenty of ginger in both. The first
game opened with every prospect
of another yellow exhibition. but
after the first inning they settled
down to business, and issued very
few licenses for complaints from the
fans; the Tri-Cities not making an
error after the opening inning, when
two were made. And the gentle
men from the prairies of Hawkeye-
dom, dressed in the colors of the
Emerald isle, were in the game until
the last man was retired by the
umpire. swinging their shillalies eff
fectually and doing some nice gar
dening. Pecord was king of the
club for the doctors boys. and Lynch
was not very far behind him.

The Glass Snake Only a Brittle Lizard.

The glass snake, which is not snake
any more than it is turtle, has a tail
about twO-thirds its entire length. This
tail, like the tails of about all lizards in
the United States that have met with,
is very delicate and easily broken off
at times. When fourth to a half, or
even more, of the animal is detached
and the head end wriggles away and
the remainder and sometimes large
part squirms in sight, it is an aston
ishing spectacle, and | am not sur
prised that the ignorant should clOthe
the creature with mysticism. But, as
matter of fact, all sensible people know
that the fragments do not reunite, for il
would be impossible to fit together the
ruptured blood vessels and shattered
nerves and restore the animal. Still
this story of traditional force is believed
by host of people, along with other
surprising hoopsnake tales, millsnake
whoppers, with quill-throwing porcu-
pine relations, and thousand and one
other and lesser untruths.--4mericdR

Joking the Congressman

From the 1t. Louis Republic
"Did you ever hear about the Bra
lillian mocking-b bird that Congressman
elect john p. Tracy, of the Springfield,
Mo-, district once Owned?' asked Jack
Carr at the Planters recently.
"No? Well, I'll tell You about H.
| was in Springfield and was going 70
Texas, and Tracy asked me 10 get
Texas mocking-bird and send il to him.
He said his wife had long wished for
one. promised TO do my best.
"The sO-calied Texas mOeking-bird
is larger than the Northern product,
and has a long, sciSsors-like tail with
large white spot on each division of it.
Ii is much easier to dOmesticate than
the native of the Northern States,
and its tones when il sings are more
mellow. When | stuIck Paris, Tex, |
went to see a friend of mine who had,
| knew, several tinr specimens. | told
him what | wanted, and he showed me
several birds, AMI then asked me which
one | wanted. | told him | wanted
the largest one he had.
"He took me into rear room and
said he would slow me a Brazilian
bird that beat the Texans all to pieces.
Then he brought out cage in which
was the largest owl ever saw. Every
feather Oh its body was pIre white,
and when stretched out its wings
measured over two and half feet from
tip to tip. | saw the joke at once and
decided 10 send 1.-THE Owl-tO Tracy.
"I boxed the bird up and took it to
the express Office. Then | decorated
the box with all sorts of beer bottle la-
bels, hieroglyphics of different kinds
and other mysterious symbols and sent
it to Tracy. He paid 50 or 81 express
charges on it-yOu know it takes dOub-
le charges to send live stock by express
and took the box home.
"Well, he made the best of it and
kept the bird, and in time became
much attached to it. He had ball
and chain attached To its leg 80 that it
could not fly. 1t could walk easily,
however, and for a long time the owl
had the freedom of Tracy's house and
yard.
Zone night the bird grew thirsty
and hopped onto the edge of barrel
that stood under a spout at corner of
the house. He lost his balance and fell
in and the ball followed. He tried TO
get out, but could not fly with the ball
attached to his leg, so he was drowned.
The Congressman-elect has not yet Sc
cured genuine Texas mOeking-bird."

The Heart Does Not Grow Old.

Ii appears that the brain and the
heart are two parts Of the human or
ganism that, if rightly used, may
largely escape growing old. The un-
impaired activity OF great statesman
and other brain-worSers at u time when
most of the bodily organs and fune-
tions are in advanced senile decay il a
matter Of frequent comment, but one
for which a physiological explanation
Is given in a recent work by DIR. Bal
four. The normal brain retains its Wig
or to the last, because there Is especial
provision for its nutrition Near mid
die life the general arteries of the body
begin to lose their elasticity and slowly
dilate, becoming much less efficient
carriers of nutritient blood TO the cap
Hilary areas, but the internal carOtids
which feed the capillary areas of the
brain-are not effected by this impair
ment and retain their youthful elastici-
ty, thus keeping up the blood pressure
in the brain and giving better nOurish-
ment To the brain TISSUES than is re-
eeived by any other TISSUES of the body.

Our Army Commanders.

Prom the Philadelphia Times, September ..
Lieutenant General John VI. Scho-
field will be 81 years Of age to-day, and
in accordance with the statute will re-
tire from active service in the United
States army, which ne entered as a
graduate Of the Military Academy in
1853, aud Of which for the past seven
years he has been the commander.
The war department WAS established
under tbe constitution by the act Of
congress Of 1859, and in 1870 the stand
ing army Of the United States was fix
ed at ,2l6, comprising one regiment Of
infantry and one regiment of artillery.
Until the spring Of 1871 the chief com-
mand of this little army was held by
Lieutenant Colonel Josiah Harmer.
The generals in command of the army
since that time have been as follows:
1912, Mai. Gen. Arthur st. Clair.
l7g2-G5, Maj. Gen. Anthony Wayne.
l796-9S, Brig. Gen. James Wilkinson.
1886, Lieut.. Gen George Wash
ington.
lsD0-l2, Brig. Gen. James Wilkinson.
1Sl2-l5, Maj. Gen. Henry Dearborn.
1Slj-2S, Mai. Gen. Jacob Brown.
ls2s4I, Maj. Gen. Alexander Ma
comb.
Is4l-el, Mai. and 1t. Gen. Win
field Scott.
Is6l-62, Maj. Gen. George b. MeClel-
Ian.
1s62-64, Maj. Gen. Henry w. Hal
leck.
1s6+G6, Lieut.. Gen. Ulysses :. Grant.
ISG6-69, Gen. Ulysses :. Grant.
ISGg-S3, Gen. William T. Sherman.
1855 1t. Gen. and Gen. p. II.
Sheridan.
1855, Maj. and 1t. Gen. J. NJ. SehO-
field.
Not all Of these were equally distin-
guished, but the list, as a whole, o.
well as in detail, Is one Of which the
country may well be proud.
When Washington resumed COM
mand Of the army in l79s he had un-
der him but 1900 men. In the war of
1872 the regular army at it, highest
numbered less than 1900. During
the Mexican war the maximum was
30, $50, in ISIS. In ls57, during the
civil wax, the regular army reached It's
highest numbers, with $1,000 men.
The present force Is, in round num-
bers, 25,OD0.

A White Ribbon.

We We're travelling away from the home scene'
In a crowded and sitting car,
And could see but the faces OF strangers
From home we had wandered so Ear.
Fen the hills stretching quietly backward,
And the river and broad fields Of grain
Seemed To give US no sweet recognition,
As we sped on the crowded train.
We were weary-the Journey was tiresome.
We We're lonely-the world seemed 50 wide,
And the strangers were unsympathetic,
Though they Travelled for miles at our side.
But, again, as / scanned all their faces,
saw, with gladsome surprise,
A tiny bit of white ribbon,
And glanced at the wearer's eyes.
She was kind when she glanced back upon me
And when she saw on my dress
A bit of the same snowy ribbon
Came a smile like tender caress.
soon she came to my side. and we murmured
our gladness at meeting and then
We talked of our plans and our purpose
To defeat the destroyer Of men.
II is true that one touch OF nature
Makes the whole OF the great world akin;
IL is true that bit Of white ribbon
May friends for the traveller win.
And the cold, distant glance of the stranger
Will change into sympathy rare,
As the emblem of true-heaTted service
Flashes forth in its purity there.
All, sisters, we must not be careless
In wearing this emblem of OurS-
II may comfort some lonely stranger,
II may SoOthe like gift Of flowers;
II may plead like an eloquent speaker
With the soul that is weary in sin;
IL may prove a message from heaven
To beckon the wanderer in.

LULLABY SONG.


Sleep. my darling, while the shadows
Gather round thy downy bed,
And the golden summer sunset
Softly falls upon thy head.
Let thine eyelids droop like curtains
Ger the windows of thy soul;
Mothers precious, precious darling,
Sleep while dark the billows roll.
Sleep in peace, no foe shall harm thee,
Mother will be ever nigh,
And the angels, clad in splendor,
God will send thee from the sky.
All the night, though storms may gather
All the night, though thunders roar,
Driff away on wings of slumber,
Till you reach morn's golden shore.
Sleep, my darling, sad and lonely,
With "a tear upon thy cheek,
With sorrow in thy bosom
That thy lips can never speak.
Thou hast found thy life burden,
Long has been the weary day;
sleep, oh, sleep, and let thy sorrow
In thy slumber drift away.
Sleep, my darling. soon the morning
Thou shalt Joyfully behold,
And the skies so dark and cloudy,
Flaming like sea OF gold.
Blessed, blessed be thy waking,
When the night Of earth is past;
Sleep, oh, sleep, in peace and safety,
Thou shalt wake in heaven at last.
