a remarkably strong man and well

sons inherited his strong physique and
love for athletics, and from boyhood
they have been leaders among Joliet
young. men in the athletic line. No

AS soon as the oldest boy had reached
his teens he was drafted into a well
known Joliet nine. When the Joliet
Standards were organized not less
than four Lemons were asked to be-
come members of it, while others were
on the substitute list Of the II Len
non boys ten are still living, and last
year the Lennon baseball nine was
formed, consisting of all but one of the
sons, and he is on the reserve list. The
names of the Lennon nine as they
lined up Wednesday were as follows:

any, from gnawing it. Bars are spaced
about four inches for last, six inches
for second, nine for third, eleven inches
for the upper one. Three-inch strips
are bolted on each side of the bars at
the ends with 5-16 bolts, two bolts in
each end of the upper end of the bar
At the hinge end these bolts should
hold the hinge.
On one side of the bars long tie
comes from the top of the gate at the
hinge end to the bottom of the other
end. This is also bolted through the
bars. On the other side two narrow
strips are placed so that the bolt gees
through the tie, bar and one of the
strips. The gate is hung with hook
and strap hinges. The upper hook goes
through the post with nut on it. The
lower one is driven into the post and
one of the strap bolts goes through
the Upper end of the long tie, so pre-
venting the gate from sagging.

REASSURING.

A middle-aged man and has wife decided to
take trip to Washington, and as it was the
beginning of the season, they both invested
in some new clothes for the journey. Their
grown-up children made fun of their new"
appearance but it was not until they were
safely settled in their seats and opened their
bags that they discovered the joke that had
been played upon them, relates the New
York Times.
One of their offspring had filled both
satchels with rice, and, on taking out what
they needed, the tiny grains were scattered
broadcast.
OF course there was at once an amused
smile on every ones face, and the mother
felt herself getting redder than she had ever
been in her life before, and was made no
more comfortab BILE when fat German woman
opposite leaned over and said quite audibly:

sons, as the teams were stronger and
made the race interesting to the spec
tators. New York, Chicago and Cincin-
natl have had teams that have kept
well up toward the front all season.
and the Giants and Cubs have each
been in the first positions during the
summer. Brooklyn, Boston, Philadel-
phia and st. Louis were not stronger
than they were last year and finished
the season in the order named.
Batting records for the season indi-
cate that Hans Wagner, the mighty
slugger of the Pittsburg team, gets all
the honors in sight in the National
league. Hans swatted them out for a
percentage of $50, and, though Bill
Kennedy, also of Pittsburg, is few
pegs above him in the figures, there is
no comparison between their work, for
Hans played 129 games, and Kennedy
but Is, and some of those only por-
tons of games. Fred Clarke, likewise
of Pittsburg, ranks next to Wagner.
Pittsburg leads in team batting and in
long distance hitting, while the Reds
finished second and Chicago third The
chief base runner of the year was
Frank Chance, of the Chicago club.
Warner leads the catchers in fielding,
and Kennedy the pitchers Mccain
tops the first basemen, while Ritchey
gets the honors among the all-season
second basemen. Greminger leads at
third, Dahlen at short, and Dunleavy
in the field, the real honors on all-sea-
SON play in the outer gardens going to
Jones, of Chicago. New York leads in
team fielding. st. Louis, though last
in the field work, executed more double
plays than any other team.
Cha rlie Farrell, the bulky old catcher
of the Bostons, is the nominal batting
leader of the American league for the
season of 1903. AS he only played 16
games, however, the real honors go to
Napoleon Lajoie, who hit them hard
and often and netted a percentage OF
344 on the season. Harry Bay stole
the most bases, while Dougherty made
more hits and runs than any other
playe.. Detroit leads in team batting,
Boston second. Ikittridge leads the
catchers in fielding. Howell and Lee
lead the pitchers with uninjured rec
ords. Anderson leads the first base
men and Long the second-sackers.
Lave Cross excels at third. Moran at
short, and Jones in the gardens. Bos-
ton leads in team fielding.

New Corn for the Hogs.

In nearly all cases in commencing
to feed new corn to hogs, it is best to
feed stalk and all for time, starting
when the milk is out of the grain and
feeding in this way as long as the hogs
chew up the stalk with an evident rel
ish, feeding only such an amount as
they will eat up clean, gradually in
creasing the amount as their needs
seem to require.-Midland Farmer.

His Last Hope Realized.



In the first opening of Oklahoma
to settlers in 1889, the editor of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he en-
countered much bad water, which,
together with the severe heat, gave
him a very severe diarrkoea. which
it seemed almost impossible TO
check, and along in June the case
became so bad he expected to die.
One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle Of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.
A big dose was given him while be
was rolling about on the ground in
great agony. and in a few minutes
the dose was repeated. The good
effect of the medicine was soon no.
ticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for
a fortnight. That one little bottle
worked a complete cure, and be
cannot help but feel grateful. The
season for bowel disorders being at
hand suggests this item. For sale

EXTREMELY AWKWARD.
What Happened When Young Lady
Got Into the Crowded Bus.

OOl 4ulV tue OIOWuCu Duos
She stood at the corner Of Fifth ay-
enue and Thirty y-fourth,street just at
dusk peering timorously at the two
lines Of hansoms glittering in two
long rows up and down the avenue,
says the New York Post. Her fluffy
edged skirts were gathered tightly
about her and held clear of the side
walk. On the top Of the hill she
deserted, after few minutes Of wait
ing a numbering bus being cleverly
through the press of traf-
iic. She gave happy little sigh and
stepped down from the sidewalk way-
ing an ornate purse at the driver as
a signal to stop. She climbed in gay
ly enough, though every seat was oc-
cupied. A tall man with silk hat
arose precipitately and crushed his
hat against the roof
81 beg your PARDON" murmured
the young woman.
The man smiled as pleasantly as he
could, as he extricated his ears from
the hat, and the other passengers
glared at her as if holding her ac-
countable for the mishap. Her dis
comfort grew with the insistence Of
the glance Then she undertook to
pay her fare. First the purse would
not open, then it opened with a
calamitous rush and there was a clat-
ter Of coin on the floor of the bus.
The man with the mashed hat sprang
once more into the breach of gal
lantry. He got down on the floor
and fairly groveled after the coins
while the women in the conveyance
he was the only man aboard-held
up their feet and made a pretense of
helping him.
AT last nearly all the coins were
collected; the uncomfortable young
woman assuring the red-faced man
that he really need not look for any
more. The man arose redder than
ever, and smiling, serenely smiling,
extended his hand in a dumb offer to
put her fare in the box. The Young
woman had forgotten and closed the
purse, so it was not until the bus had
gone two blocks that she succeeded
in getting the thing open. And then,
as she extended the coin - she
dropped it.

LENGTH OF LIFE.
Longevity of Man Increasing, Says
an Austrian Physician.

an Austrian Physician.
Medical men are discussing a lee
ture by Prof. Pduger Of the Univer-
sity of Bonn. on longevity, in which
he asserts that the average length Of
human life is steadily increasing. He
maintains, says the Indiana Medical
Journal, that one-third Of all the
deaths registered in Munich are due
to heart disease, brought on by the
immoderate use Of beer, and that to-
bacco also claims a large percentage
Of the victims. Among 40 centen-
narians who have come under his no
tice there was only one smoker, while
nearly all professed to amoderate use
Of alcohol. What Prof. PAuger most
seriously warns people against is the
thought and fear of death. The mind
must be occupied, he says, to secure
longevity. Hard-working men who
retire rarely live much longer.
The German census statistics show
that in 1871 the centenarians num-
bered 147 men and 2S1 women, but in
1900 only five men and thirty wom-
en-. The above press report is Of in
terest. As is well known, in Munich
the consumption Of beer per capita
is greater than elsewhere in the world
and the percentage of heart disease
is higher. Beer has a worse influence
on the heart than either wine or
whisky. Tobacco is better borne by
adults and the aged than by youth.
No child should be allowed to smoke
before the age of21. Wine has been
said to be the milk of old age; it
anouidnot beused until past the enoon
of life. That the German census
shows a reduction of old men since
the war with France is natural. The
age of industrialism, Of city life, Of
strain, of alcohol and Of venereaI dis
eases with increase Of tabes dorsalis
and general paresis is the present age
of Germany as it is of the United
States. Only the sedate and the tenn
perate in all things can expect length
