Battle with Worms.

A thrilling encounter between all of
the able bodid men Of Minersville and
an army of worms, according to the
Milford Times, occurred in the vicinity
of the Minersville fields last week.
The invading force covered a space of
about six square miles, and when dis
covered we're marching towards the
fields from which they we're about two
miles distant. The worms had been
Matched out near the old dam few
miles from town. They completely
covered a stretch of ground from three
to four miles long and two miles wide,
and when they we're moving, the whole
face of the earth seemed to be sliding
forward. In color they were from a
light to dark green, and we're from
two and half to three and half
inches long, with horn on the tail.
As the news Of the impending invasion
spread through the town the citizens
of Minersville turned out in force
with their rollers and harrows and
tried to crush the crawling army, but
the effort proved futile. Then they
plowed trench two miles long, leav-
ing one bank so steep that it was
thought they could not scale it. Deep
holes we're also dug In the trench at
Intervals, into which the worms might
fall aa thav vara tnrped asida hv tho
bank. Many we're killed in this way,
but the mum bers hardly seemed to
have been diminished and the survi-
vors had succeeded in getting across
the trench.
When they had approached within
about a half mile Of the fields new
scheme was hit upon. A flock of 400
sheep which had been purchased for
shipment were closely punched, and
driven back and forth over the creep
ing mass. "Not a worm," says the
Times, survived to tell the tale. The
enemy was crushed aud the fields were
saved"
The worms are the product of the
hawk moth. They soon attain their
growth and then burrow In the ground,
to come forth as moths the next year
1t was noticed that a number of the
worms had burrowed. and 1t is pre-.
sumed that the moths will be plentiful
there another season.

The Treating Habit.

IL 1t not a fact that men really spend
In treating amounts that they would
hesitate to give away no matter how
deserving the chsrityY 1t is trait of
human character that comes through
the all-absorbing disposition to "hold
your end up" when with friend, says
the Springfield Union. Hundreds of
men take thousands of drinks that
they do not want and other hundreds
pay for thousands that are not desired.
Two men meet and one says, "Mighty
glad to see you. Let's have some
thing" Neither generally needs or
even wants drink. But the man who
offers It wants to show that he Is gen.
erous. He takes this method of prov
ing that he is glad to meet his friend.
The friend after he has taken the drink
he did not want, to prove that he, too,
is good fellow, insists upon second
round. The German custom of enter.
ing saloon, taking drink and paying
for it and no others, IL adopted in
America, would prove blessing. The
American custom of treating is decid-
edly a curse. What we do for friend
ships sake costs as many dollar and
many pang.--N. Y. Press.

IA INNING GAME.
Gill Pitched for Arkansas City at
Santa Fe Shopmen's Picnic

Byron Gill, another of the famous Gill
family of Arkansas City athletes, two
of whom have attended Washburn ana
taken a prominent part in athletics,
pitched a IA inning game of baseball at
Arkansas City Saturday at the shop
mems picnic of all the Santa Fe men
south of Topeka. Gill pitched for Ar
kansas City, and the opposing team
was Newton The score was II to r.
The Newton Kansan- Republican gives
the following report of some of the
events of the picnic:
The shopmen's picnic held at Arkan-
sas City Saturday will be remembered
in railroad circles as one of the best in
many respects that have ever been held.
The ball game between the Newton and
Arkansas City shop Mines which re-
quired IA innings to play off a tie, could
hardly have been excelled by profession
ais. The weather could not have been
better had it been made to order
Newton failed to develop any foot
racers this year and not a single New
ton man contested for any of the prizes
in any of the events except the potato
race. When the races were announced
to take place back of the grand stand
on the race track at 1:30. very little en-
thusiasm was manifested, the center of
attraction being the ball ground where
preparations were being made for the
ball game.
The 220 yard foot race was the first
event. 1t was won by three Arkansas
men, Leo Monahan first. Byron Gill sec

In the fifty yard apprentice foot race
Tom Harris, whom the contestants
claimed was an operator from Peabody,
won first and Leo Monahan second Tom
Harris also won first in the 100 yard
race and Leo Monahan second.
THE contestants in the potato race
were Leo Monahan. Arthur Owens, By
ron Gill and w. H. Johnson of Arkansas
! City and Garfield Dustin of Newton
Johnson was awarded first prize and
| Owens second.
In the three legged race there were
only two couples ran. Kiesow and Chris
tie, and Moaahan and Gill; all of Ar
kansas City. Monanan and Gill came in
| first and the@other pair second
The tug-of-war which was to have
been held between the boilermakers and
| the machinists were changed to New
ton shopmen against Arkansas City
shop men, The Arkansas City team
pulled the Newton team over the line
on the contest was distributed among
them all, and as far as the prize was
concerned neither side was loser"
Speaking of the result of the ball
game the Republican says:
The catchers Dunlap and Owens both
played a faultless game and deserve
great credit for the cool Medicines
they displayed. Gill the Arkansas City
pitcher. was really the hero of the game.
After receiving a hard hit on the arm
he stayed in the box during the whole
Afternoon and pitched a game that could
hardly have been better. Elliott and
Walthour also both pitched fine games
for Newton and the remainder of the
Newton nine did good work, making
very few bad plays. Gill was also Ar
kansas City's star batter while Powell,
Ryan and Elliott were among Newton S
best men at the bat. Mr.. Gill is a

player
