HIS OWN GRANDFATHER
Just How He Became So is Not Quite
Clear, but He Did Finally.
LON the ~ Orleans Tlmes-Democrat

FROM the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Il know OF at least one curious case Of
curious intermarriage, where a young man
became his own grandfather" said a man
who is fond Of the novel in life. land II is
rather a simple thing when you come to
think Of ii. Father and son were living to-
gether in a remote section of Arkansas The
old man was a widower. Not far from
where they lived was q widow and her
daughter. The old man wooed and won
the daughter and finally married her. In
the meantime the son had been making soft
speeches 10 the widow. and they were mar
ried about the same time.
The young man thus became the father
in-law Of his own father. and vet his
fathers wife was his stepmother, but as
he was his fathers son his wife became
the stepdaughter of her own child. In
course Of time the children of the old man
and the daughter became the grandchildren
or the widow and the son. The sons and
daughters of the son and the widow were
children thus born TO the old man and the
daughter. The fathers wife was the
mother-ln-law of her own mother and her
children. being the brothers and sisters of
ner husbands son, who was also her
mothers husband. not only made his wife
ms grandmother. but placed him In the posi-
tlon OF being his own grandfather
ms father becoming his son-in-law. his
lathers chlldren, who Were his brothers
ana sisters, became also his grandchildren
because they were the children of his wife's
daughter. The children of the two mar
riages became doubly stepbrothers and sis
tiers. and uncles and aunts and nephews
and nieces OF each other I never Indar-
took to figure the thing out any further
than this. and 10 tell the truth / get MIXED
up every time l think about the matter
and l am not certain about but one thing
and that is that the son became his own
grandfather in due course of time

ART OF KEEPING COOL.
Common Sense Gives Immunity From
Heat Exhaustion.

From the Philadelphia Record
With the approach of the dog days comes
the annually recurring warning from health
boards, cold-blooded scientific societies and
independent orders of never-sweats against
the folly of counting heat prostration. Re-
duced to its elements, the advice of these
wise men as to the conduct of life during
the heated term is simple and ineligible.
Keep cool: don't get excited; don't eat any
thing that is heating; don't drink any
thing that is cooling; wear chiefly a broad
smile and wet sponge on the head; don't
move nor breathe except when absolutely
necesssry-such are a few of the minor
msxims of hot aid philosophy dished up
from year to year for the consumption of
sweite1ing masses in the great cities. OF
all cants that are carried during the silly
season surely the cant of keeping cool is
the most aggravating.
There is really no mystery in the matter,
little occasion for PRONUNCIATION of wise
saws and modern instances. no consuming
public desire for dependence upon anything
but native horse sense for immunity from

Cooking Cereals in Hot Weather.

In hot weather it Is imperative that cereal
foods thoroughly well cooked as then
there IS always a greater danger from sour
ing and fermenta ton If the food lies very
long in the stomach and bowel. The cereal
preparations which require considera BILE
time to cook thoroughly are better for warm
weather than winter breakfasts, because
when a mush is desired it is far more pala-
table and grateful to the appetite on hot
morning if it is served cold than hot. This
enables the cook to prepare it for the table
on the previous day, turn it into little indi-
vidual molds and set in cold place so that
1t will be ready to turn out in the morn

fruit or with cream plain or whipped. If

before and set in the refrigerator Ger

pared in so short a time in the way of a
hearty, enjoyable and sustaining meal, and
one which is quite sufficient without any
additional food, unless 1t be a cup of good

PAPA BILL ON EASY STREET
Omaha MaEnate suns Himself and
Dreams Of Next Years
Remnant

Papa Bill' Rourke stood around summing
himself yesterday, looking idly back
upon a busy and prosperous season Of base
ball. He felt good about the season Of
1902 and he felt confident about the pros
poets for that of 1903. An abstract of his
nominations run somewhat as follows.
This talk about there being any change
made in that percentage standing is all
hot air. Kansas City is first, Omaha second
and so on, and so they will remain. That
meeting at st. Joseph next Thursday will
not monkey with the standings. l feel con-
hdent Of that. OF course there are many
protests in; We all have some, in fact, but
they will not be pushed. l have a couple
myself, but shall say nothing about them
unless compelled to in self-defense by the
actions OF some other manager in insisting
that his be considered.
THE real object Of this meeting is to see
where we all stand and to make plans for
the season Of 1903. There has been talk
Of compromise with the American associa-
tlon and we have been approached to that
end by emissaries from that league. I do
not believe there will be any compromise.
Burns and Van Brunt, the biggest moneyed
men OF us all, are in favor Of us plugging
on ahead and fighting it out to a finish,
and, as they will be the heavy losers II any
one is, the rest of us cannot object. l
would certainly have no kick coming, as l
could break even in this town even under
the most unfavorable circumstances.
Concerning my next years team I can
say just this. l have signed Just one man
30 far. That is Eddie Hickey. Then I may
safely say that Stewart, Dolan, Genins and
Gonding will be with me sure. That gives
me FIVE strong men which will make a very
good nucleus round with to build a team.
! have made definite offers to almost all the
rest of the men with whom I finished the
season, but they are chary Of signing yet,
as ball players always are so early after the
finish. They say that owen goes to the
White Stockings and Brown to the st. Louis
National league team. ] do not know. 1
have offered each good money-$300 a
month-and l think it would pay them to
stay with me and be star men rather than
go to a place where they run a big chance
Of not making good. OF course their sal
aries would be larger in the big leagues,
but they will be in with a bunch Of twelve
or fifteen pitchers at the first Of the season,
and they will have to work for their
places"

American association stars from Indian

victory was well earned, as the visitors

Beautiful weather greeted the rival league
teams and a crowd Of 1000 people was out
to see the opening contest OF a series OF
FIVE. Ball could hardly have been swifter
OF cleaner than hat exhibited by both
clubs, the errors being but one to a side
and every sort Of chance being attempted.

touched up for ten hits all told. Mean
while Mr.. Killen Of the opposing team was
simply unfndable after the first two inn
ings, during which the Omahas managed to
secure four singles for one run, their only
one. It is indicative Of the clever ball the
easterners play that the only tally the
Rangers could get was earned.

feature. As an individual fielding star
