Among the other players who were
exempt from the draft were Slagle and
O'Brien, secured by Pittsburg and
turned over to Washington in the Reitz
deal. Philip, the Minneapolis pitcher,
who goes to Louisville; Tom Daily, who
returns to Brooklyn from Milwaukee;
third baseman Williams, from Kansas
City to Pittsburg; pitcher Pardee, also
from Kansas City to Pittsburg; Jimmy
Casey, from Toronto to Washington;
Freeman, from Toronto to Washing
ton; and catcher Hayden, purchased
in September by Hanlon from the
Reading club.
The unusually large number Of play
ers pledged to the major league in
advance of the draft shows that the
managers and club owners in the big
league have great faith in these play
ers, otherwise they would have stood
off and taken the chance of drafting
them.
Hanlon says: "Ebbets was frighten-
ed when he first heard of the proposed
consolidation of the two clubs and
showed by his appearance and his ut
terances at the league meeting that he
feared he would be compelled to get
into the background. 1t is my belief
that somebody talked to Ebbets shortly
after that and gave him enough back
bone to block the deal"

happily passed into history, death was
unusually busy in the base ball pro-
fession, and many nOtabilities III that

trious dead was the lamented Charles
H. Byrne-in life one of the most able,
most talented and most beloved lead
ers the national game has ever known,
one on whom the title of the 'Napol-
con of Base Ball" was well bestowed.

A MYSTERY MENU TEA.
1t Is a New Development of the Old
Guessing scheme.


Not long ago, in a Western town, the
young people of The place determined TO
prepare a series of entertainments out of
the ordinary. The first novelty settled on
was Mystery Tea which for genuine
humor could not he excelied.
The hostess, a pretty woman of the
younger married SCI. determined for once
that the little town should experience
sensation never created there before. SO
to give charm TO the tea she insisted that
each of her neIghuols should represent
character in fc iou, or If preferred an
Oriental costume could be chosen like
those worn in The 1owery land who would
serve as decorative bits for this mysterious
feast.
To give plenty Of time in securing the
apparel required, the invitations We're sent
out two weeks in advance. so that n on
acceptances could be hLed by others who
desired TO come.
The hour appointed for the tea was s
o'clock sharp. The guests arriving were
ushered into different rooms, especially if
q change of dress had 10 be made. As the
number selected were twenty in all, each
lady was accompanied by an escort. For
nal introductions were made in the draw
ing room and the company divided up by
the hostess before the supper was an
nounced.
After all were as embed at table the
menu gave some startling surprises, which
although the guessing was but seldom
right, proved success
The first couple helped chose IAN after
dinner delicacy' with "sOlidified saccha-
rine." The next wished some very pale
ale with AN oriental square" Each
guest wrote his and her name at the TOD
of the menu, marking off the eatable de-
oh
their appearance the fun increased. One
shy young man received only a tooth
pick and pickle, while the lady at his
side became the recipient of a beautiful
bouquet
The following menu will show how
clever woman with some little thought can
devise a number of subjects which will
be full of mysterious surroundings, and
yet give to a simple supper a zest which
people of any age can enjoy.
Cake-Crushed cereal.
Sandwiches-A product of the desert.
Pickles-Sour sustenance.
Coffee-A gift of the gods.
Water-Very pale ale
Candy-Solidified saccharine
Stuffed observation-disclosures titbits.
Sailed Almonds-A little side dish.
Tea-For Russian revels.
Japanese Napkins-An Oriental square
Toothpicks-An after-dinner delicacy.
Ice Cream-An Arctic delight.
Lemonade-,A tropical fruit drink.
For this supper prizes can be given
the best guesses of the menu winning the
pre.tiest souvenir while the BOBBY can
be given TO the couple who failed in every
way to attain the name of the object de
sired. The menu should be of cardboard
written in different colors of perfumed
ink, each one, if possible, slightly deco
rated, so that a quaint appearance is
made and finished by bows of any colored
ribbon to matchs the scheme used.

besides, the city bore most of the expense,
and so it befel that by the time of the first
frost all the lower streets were lined on
either side with good sized apple trees that

1 must confess il looked ike rows of

once and there was no crotch without a
nest. And they made such excellent view
ing places for parades that when a certain
Manila hero returned and marched up
Broadway the sidewalks were perfectly
clear for all the crowd were in the trees.
Some street vendors used the lower
branches to hang shoe laces and suspend
ers on, but the police soon broke that up,
for, of course, a vendor couldn't move

and the next vendor might have goods of
a totally different nature, and so their
wares would become hopelessly mixed. But
the trunks made excellent hitching posts
and horses soon learned not to eat the
bark.

Along in May, Harry was waited upon
by a body of apple vendors, who told him
that their business would be gone if the
trees were allowed to bear fruit.

Harry was in a quandary. He hated to

were anything but polished. So he went to

COMBINATIONS OF FLOWERS.
Sweet Peas Must BE Arranged With
MiEnOnette and So on.


New York, Aug. Exchanging cut flow
ers with a view TO their odors is a fancy
of the moment. and those interested in the
matter believe as much thought should be
given to this blending of perfumes as is
generally bestowed upon choosing colors
and styles \ vase full of differently
scented flowers can never emit a wholly
satisfying result. 1t is truly a case of the
survival of the fittest; and the stronger
scent, while being affected by all the 9th
ers present, and therefore losing it's purity,
Will in the end predominant. Imagine on
the other side, the sweet white violet whose
Odor is so faint and elusive as to be al
most Gmpercepuble being placed with flow
crs of a stronger fragrance AS far as any
qualification TO the human sence is con-
cerned, nature might as well not have en-
dowed it with this charm The only way
10 enjoy the little flower is to gather a
large bunch and then to keep them separ-
ate from all others.
AS general rule, 1t is not well to place
more than two scented flowers together and
even then they should be selected with
care. OF these mignonette and sweet pea
may be mentioned as combining extremely
well. The perfume they emit is no strong
er than that of the individual blossom; but
it is sweeter. In fact when these two
flowers are grouped plOpOTIlOIdlefN tOSetn-
err one is reminded on inhaling them of the
fragrant peach.
Henotrope and lemon verbena form an
other delightful combination with an ele-
ment OF refreshment for darkened sum
mer rooms. A few bouquets of these two
flowers, instead of making the atmosphere
heavier, will seem to clear away some of
its sultriness. The lemon verbena should
be added judiciously; little over the right
amount, and its odor soon destroys that
of the heliotrope.
Hardly anything more lovely can be i'm
agined for bouquet than the opening bud
of the blush rose and few tender shoots
of hoIeysuck.e. The delicate fragrance
of the rose seems to temper and render
even more luscious the honeysuckles
stronger scent
Large, heavily scented flowers should be
used in moderation. Little can be done
in the way of combinations to render their
odors less oppressive. 1t is always best
to keep them separate and in a place
through which a current of air passes.
1t seems to be the mission Of geranium
leaves to lend their pungent, spicy odor
TO flowers that are themselves without
fragrance; and therefore they cannot he
priced too highly. At this season of the
year they so especially well as a border
around the brilliantly -colored but unforl-
unately scentess phloXes.
