The American rife team, ia khaki
uniform and bringing with them the
Palma trophy won at the international
contest OF marksmen i'll England last
month, arrived Saturday aboard the
Cunarder Lucania, from Liverpool and
Queenstown.
Colonel Bruce had sent cable mes
sage to Secretary of War Elihu Root
requesting that the teams baggage
should not be held up, and he expressed
surprise at the rigid examination made
by the customs inspectors. They said
they had received no instructions from
Washington, and Colonel Bruce sur
missed that his cable message had gone
astray or that there had been some mis-
understanding. The colonel said:
why, in England our baggage was
stamped without being opened. 1t

with the Pastimes again. Phelan
seemed to be a puzzle to him, as the
auburn haired boy struck him out three
times.
The eatchers are having a hard time
trying to retire the runners who at
tempt to steal second. It's a very long
throw on the Riverside diamond and
any player that can run at all ought 70
steal the base.
Eleven hits were made off MeGin-
niss's delivery Saturday and eleven off
Bates's. Both are doing good WORK
and their style of pitching is entirely
diffrent. Bates uses a speedy bah.
while Mac has puzzling slow out
curve.
Joe Kelly, the captain of the Pas
times, had an off day Saturday. He
dropped number of pretty throws that
Henebry shot across the diamond.
But Joe is the life of the team and the
Pastimes would have hard time ind
ing man to fill his place.
Chaplin, the North Ends first base

place was filled by a young substitute
named Hardy. If Hardy continues to

but wonder how such life could yield
such marvel of wonanliness and
tenderness.
1t was a strange freak of hers, no
doubt, this wish to once again stand

agony, were lifted from the depths of

THE VALUE OF BIRDS
CATS THEIR WORST ENEMIES
Thousancs Of Species Created fer Our
Benefit-Types of Bliss and Sym
boIs of Liberty-Greeks Called
Them Lords of the Air-Our Imaei-
nation Gives Their Wings to Angels.


Some 10000 species of birds have been
created for mans benefit. Carrion
would propagate disease without vul-
lures and ravens; owls, buzZarc5 and
other hawks prey upon noisome rodents
and yenolnous reptiles. but of all
.ribes the insectivores are the most
numerous, their services the most val
liable Vermin would destroy the
grain in the West, the cotton in the
South and the fruit wherever it grows
II birds were not near to defend them
until they ripen. Examinations made
by scientists Of the digestive organs Of
many varieties Of birds have demon
strated that they chiefly feed upon in
sects; they also show the kind of in
sects that each species prefers. Their
subtle senses are directed by almost
human intelligence, and they are apt to
select of all the food within their
reach what is best adapted for them and
for their offspring. and what would in
jure by its presence if they did not de-
stroy it.
Aside from the debt of gratitude We
owe for their usefulness, birds claim
our affection by the charm Of their
presence. They are types of joyful bliss
and symbols of absolute liberty. Where
the color of their plumage is added to
the harmony of their voices and the
grace of their motion, they will turn
barren wilderness into perfect para
disc. Many heart would sink were
songsters not nigh with sweet melody
to raise it. The ancient Greeks called
birds lords of the air." Syrians built
affairs for their worship; Romans had
such an exalted opinion of their sagac-
ity that they augured the fortune OF
distant legions by the manner of their
fight. Birds graceful wings were ap.
piled to the shoulders of favorite gods,
and we continue to borrow them for the
angels of our own imagination. but we
lay no obstacles in the way OF divers
enemies that persecute them.
The fiercest of them all, the domestic
cat, we permit in our garden and Or
chard to prowl and to make the artless
bird his prey before he has time to fly.
Instead of checking we countenance
the enormous natural increase of cats
until it is estimated that 100000 OF
them annually kill some 20,000,000 OF
birds. A license fee is exacted for
keeping watchful dog; why should
not this rule apply, as 1t does in some
places already. to the more dispens-
able cat? A German household must
pay small fee for the privilege OF
keeping single cat.-Louis Windmill

VAS SEltNE,

Everybody knows the great value o. th.s
remedy in the household, but everybo y
does not know that the limitations of it,
which some second class druggists dishon-
orably palm off on their customers, have
little or no value. What shoul3 be under
stood by the public is, that 1t is not a mere
question of comparative value between
"Vaseline" and the limitations, but that tho
limitations do not effect the wonderful heal
ing results of the world renowned 'Vasc-
line" and that they are not the same thing
nor made in tho same way. Besides this,
many of the limitations are harmful, irri-
tant and not safe to use, while true Vase
line is perfectly harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages put
up by the Chesebrough Manufacturing Co.
Att,htion is called to their Capsicum Vase
line advertised in another column.
