A homemade ball that costs nothing
to make and is really serviceable can be
made by any boy, Take an ordinary cork
and cut it as round as possible, making
it the size of an ordinary marble. Then
tear off very narrow strips of rag and
wind these one at a time around the
cork until the ball is Of the desired size.
Then cover it with cloth, or if you can
get pair of your fathers or big broth
er's discarded heavy dogskin Or buck
skin winter gloves cut out four quarters
from them, shaped to the ball, and get
your sister to stitch them together for
YOU with stout waxed linen thread as a
strong and durable cover.

His published account of the work

by those particularly concerned in
missions, but the public generally.
DR.. Baird is known as a practical

to be obliged to give up his work.
But he resorted to the use of that
easily obtained remedy, Paine's celery

The reasonable, undisguised way
in which Paine's celery compound
fortifcs the body against nervous

The fact is, foods properly diecstcd are

not only contains food already digested,

that is not digested does more harm
than good. People who use the Cordial

REAL ROMANCE
A Modern Enoch Arden Wants to Re-marry
His Wife


KANSAS CITY. April 1S.-William
Cannon ("Bin" Cannon), soldier, scout,
pathfinder, man "A years OF age, has
applied to Recorder Queal for marriage
license. What was more, he wanted to
marry his own wife. They were married
in the '70s, but Cannon went west imme-
diately thereafter and deserted his wife.
Two years ago, after having a most remark
able career he returned east and became
an inmate of the Soldiers home at Leav-
enworth Kan. In the meantime, beliey-
ing her husband was dead. and desiring
to transact some legal business, Mrs
Cannon applied for divorce which was
granted. Recently Cannon decided he
wanted to again live with his wife, and
commenced a correspondence that has
ended in her accepting him.
Cannon was a friend of Kit Carson in
his time, of James Beckwith, wild
Bill" James Bowie and the rest of that
band OF indomitable fighters who led the
vanguard of civilization westward in the
40s and sos. No man ever had more
romantic story. A boy of IA, he was at
the horrible massacre of.the Alamo, of
which he is the sole survivor. To him
David Crockett entrusted the last word S
he wrote Just before death came upon him.
The boy. in the disguise of Mexican
escaped the massacre and carried til @
awful tidngs to the world. In the Mexi
can war he served with distinction, and
at the conclusion became u government
scout and interpreter, acting as escort to
the long trains of emigrants that stretched
away across the plains toward the land of
gold. Cannon's adventures on the plains
in the civil war and later in the mount
aims of Montana ami Colorado would re-
quire volumes to tell.

decorations gradually blending into more
delicate shades as it neared the floor.
The faces of both galleries were concealed
by plaitings of La Fiesta tri-colors held
at Intervals with clusters OF lilies. The
supporting posts were of solid prints, the
bunting SO arranged as to give a soft and
beautiful effect to the whole. Out-reach-

tremendously with the bright colors and
doing duty with artistic grace.
Directly opposite the entrance doors
was the stage converted into right royal

gorgeous array from canopy composed
entirely of pink, with deep border OF
dark crimson velvet overhead.

Yesterday morning was devoted by the

Yet many tired but patriotic citizen
rose to view the pretty children's parade.
Tallyhos and other vehicles were flying
about during the afternoon conveying
excursion parties through the city and
environs. Many parties came in from
Pasadena and other suburbs to see the
parade and to celebrate.
The coming woman was strictly in evil

while numbers OF them in the latest APP

gaily by on bicycles. One. and perhaps

about on horseback, and al of them at

otherwise.
There was much Kicking here, there
and everywhere because people were eX-
cluded from Central Park when no events
were on, There was some talk Of raising
a row with the attendants and going in
anyway.
K number OF maskers appeared on the
streets during the day but did not do any
frolicsome tricks.
