The Bostons have not lost a game since
their return from the West. They dropped
only four games of the last twenty-five.

had enough luck for one week. Watkins
should have his men on edge to-day and
tomorrow.
Had "Bill' Phillips been content with a
base on balls in the ninth instead of trying
to hit it over the fence he would very likely
have won his game despite that pounding
he got at the finish. He evidently thought
the game vas won and wanted the credit
of bringing in couple more runs.

day. He has a queer information and the
bleachers took up his calls, but he is BUSH

Cornelius McGilicuddy, who is known to
the baseball world as plain Connie Mack

Senior and Junior Consuls.

Wallace Sherwood, chief consul L. A. W.,
has appointed John j. Appel as senior con-
sui for indianapolis, and Mr.. Appel expects
to announce his junior consuls in a few
days. This is in accordance with the plan
agreed upon at the late Denison House
meeting when it was at first proposed to
form local federation of wheelnnen. The
federation was TO take up questions touch
ing upon the right of wheelmen and solve
them, and was to fight the battles of wheel
men in the press and in the legislative halls
During the progress of the formation OF the
federation it was discovered that all those
who were taking an active interest in the
movement were members of the League of
American Wheelmen. 1t was then sup-
gested that the work could as well be car
ried on by the league. The suggestion met
with hearty approval, and it was agreed
that an organized body of local consuis be
appointed. Mr. Appel will appoint a live
wheelman living in each ward and one en-
ployed in each of the large retail bicycle
stores. They will become a committee to
referred.

A Colony of Widows,

Mrs. Hattie N. Bemis, of Arabia,
Neb., owns large tract of land in
northwestern Nebraska, which she
says she intends to give to twelve de-
serving widows of northwestern
farmers. In return she will require
them to cultivate it without male as
sistance. She says that she will start
them out with all the machinery they
need, sufficient number of cattle,
horses, swine and poultry to serve as a
nest egg, and money to last them un-
til the first harvest can be disposed of.
She admits that the climate is dry,
but she proposes to instruct her wards
in the operation of the Campbell sys-
TEN of soil culture, by which method
experiments have proved that the
rainfall of the section is sufficient to
insure bountiful crops. The nearest
women will be allowed to come to
dealing with men is to sell their crops
to them. Ii Mrs. Bemis should learn
that a farm hand of the male per-
suasion has been employed about the
premises the farm will revert to her.
Any member of the community who
marries will also forfeit her title to a
share in the property Chicago

with a Moral.

A true story Of what happened recent
ly in a New England town may well be
read and pondered. For nowadays,
when everybody has bicycle, the
preservation of the machine becomes a
matter of public import.
Not long ago two ladies were riding
On a country road, when something
happened to one Of their machines.
The story does not say what but it is
fact that something happened.
They got off, and endeavored to ''tink-
er" it themselves; and as they stood
there, working and deliberating, man
came along.
Can l help your he asked, court
eously; and they told him their woes.
"Oh yes" said he. I'm sure L can
Fix that!"
So he labored with the difficulty, and
succeeded at once in setting it right.
"There" said he. II think you'll find
that will go perfectly. Let me try it
and see."
He mounted the bicycle and rode
away, while his grateful clients
watched him, first with interest and
then with despair.
He had not come back; nor has the
bicycle.
