Chief Justice Wiswell of the Maine
supreme court says there must be an
end to the hypocrisy which collects
fines from liquor dealers, but allows
them to continue in business III de-
tiance of the prohibition law. Hereto
fore, the traffic in liquor IN that stale
has been conducted on a quasi-license
system. That is to say, while the sale
is absolutely forbidden. dealers have
been allowed to sell with the under
standing that once or twice a year they
should submit to arrangement in court,
Thus the state gets the money and the
dealers get exemption for their trade.
The chief justice makes announcement
tina. this state of things must come
TO an end and the humbug of half a
century seems to be exploded.

Pope Leo XIII few days after his
jubilee for the twenty-tifth anniver-
sary of his Dapacy gave a dinner to his
nephews. who had come to Rome on
the occasion. There were invited
Counts Camille, Ricardo and Lodo-
vico, with their families, together with
Commentators Sterbini, the intimate
major domo, or chamberlain, of the
pope. OF course, say the Rome papers,
Leo XIII did not sit at the table, main
ly on account of his health. But after
the dinner the several families We're
received by the pope, who conversed
for long while with them in his
apartments. Leo XIII spoke especial
ly with his nephews of his life and of
his youth, with a surprising memory.
Often the pope likes to have a chat
with his nephews, and it is not rare
when he summons them, by his major
domo, to whom he says, smiling: Tell
those boys to come over" and those
boys" 1t must be remembered, have
white hair.

quainted with Josh Billings and his
family when he was an auctioneer.
He once sold lot OF cows for Mr..
Haight, who lived near Hackensack,
generally known as Deacon Haight be-
cause of his strong religious principles
lin which not a great deal OF conf
dence was reposed. One OF the cows
made u bolt and ran square over
Joshua, knocking him down. He arose
in his wrath and began swearing,
whereupon Deacon Haight stepped up
and said: Tut-tut, Mr.. Shaw; you
should not swear Josh scratched his
head and remarked: Well, Deacon,
you pray little sometimes, but
think neither of US means much by it :"

Each ball is five ounces in weight. 9
inches in circumference and inches
in diameter. The various machines
keep these dimensions regular, and an
additional precaution towards regu-
larity lies in the many sets of scales
that stand in every room OF the big
factory. Each ball, in each stage of
its making is weighed. Each ball goes
thru no less than five weighings be-
fore it is done. The average profess
sional team puts from four to six new
baseballs in play in the course of a
game The average amateur teams
put in play two or three balls. The
average boys team puts in play one
ball, and stops the game If the bali is
lost
A ST. Louis team holds the record
for the number of new balls used in

The Football Girl.

Eyes that are clear as the sparkling air
When the frost sprnkled forest flame;
Cheeks all aglOw with the dantiest red,
Wind tossed hair around a graceful head,
Benny and blithesome beyond compare
Hail to the queen of the game!
There are courage'and hope in her eyes
so brown,
And she raises the blue flag high,
And, winning or losing, till all is done
She is true to her colors and cheers them
on.
With the Yale blue violets in her gown,
Fair symbol of loyalty.
There is much that is dear in the victor
prize
Honor, applause and fame
But when the strife ends in victory
The first and the best which the winners
Is swift flashing signal from beauty's
eyes,
A smile from the queen of the game
Then here's to the maid who begins her
reign
When the dead leaves race and whirl.
Hearty and loud is the praise | bring,
For the fairest of all is the maid I sing.
So fill up your glasses and pledge again
A toast to the football girl.

The French Fad Of WaIkino.

France has a new fad, and the
remarkable thing about it is that it is a
commendable and wholesome one. 1t is
nothing less than the walking habit,
which has been so long characteristic
of the sturdy and stolid race across the
Channel. Usually public interest in
things as ballooning, automobiling,
duelling or some new fashion in dress,
but of late it is centered in walking
matches between certain classes of
people covering various distances. Even
the shop girls, dressmakers, students
and workmen of all classes have entered
to train for the contests and on any day
hundreds of them are seen on country
roads in the vicinity of Paris preparing
for the coming contests.
Public men and various organizations
have offered prizes and the contests
have become so numerous that the
walking craze is developing into a
veritable epidemic, with practically the
whole of France-for Paris is France,
you mountaineering on foot. No
doubt, under such conditions, many of
the contestants who have gone in with
out sufficient training will Overdo the
exercise and will suffer injurious re-
suits, but on the whole, for the masses
of those who take part, the result will
be good.
1t is hard to conceive of a better ex-
ercise than a good long walk in the
country; not a mere stroll or aimless
ramble of a mile or so, but brisk walk,
stepping out with long and vigorous
pace, and with some definite end in

view. Every part of the body is ex-
ercised; the lungs are filled with fresh
air and the burdens that rest upon the
mind and the sorrows that weigh down
the heart are lightened. Long distance
walking has been for generations
characteristic of the English and to it
is ascribed much of the robust health
of that nation and the splendid
physique of the English girls. In this
country, too, there is great amount
of walking for pleasure and exercise,
though less than in England, and less
than there should be, particularly
among the class who can afford to ride.
1t is not unrea sonable to believe that
this latest Partisan craze will not con-
tinue but while it does last it will
benefit the general health of the
country where weak bodies are more
common than strong ones, and doubt
less many will find pedestrianism so
pleasant and beneficial that they will
follow it after the fever of the fad has
cooled with the multitude.

A GREAT LABOR STRIKE. IA
Millions of Workers Out

One of the greatest labor strikes YOU
can possibly imagine is that which takes
place in your body when you eat i'm
proper food. Your body is q workshop
and in it are millions and millions of
workers-tissue builders. In the stomach
alone there are more than five million of
these workers, whose business 1t is to de-
wise the means to build the body. II the
food you eat is of a poor quality these
five million toilers-these five millions of
little microscopic pepsin makers-strike.
and millions and millions of other tissue
builders in other parts of the body also
strike through sympathy. They may
strike for but short time, but it is long
enough to throw a lot of the delicate and
intricate machinery in that wonderful
workshop of yours out of repair and
cause all manner of trouble.
The way to avoid labor strikes in the
body is to supply that vast horde of arti-
sans which build it with proper food ma
terial, and for this purpose there is moth
ing so good as Shredded Whole Wheat
Biscuit, the only naturally porous food
made from wheat. 1t is light, crisp,
wholesome, and can be digested with ease.
Shredded Wheat makes rich, red blood

ABOUT THAT COAT

You wear a coat. Why?
To keep the cold out? No;
to keep the warmth in.
What of the body that has
no warmth-the thin, poor
body that lacks the healthy
flesh and fat it needs?
For such we say that SCOTS
Emulsion provides the right
kind of a coat. Why? Be-
cause SCOTS Emulsion builds
firm, solid flesh and sup
plies just enough fat to fill
natures requirements no
more. That means bodily
warmth.

Forty Years a Good King.

Good old King Christian TX of Den
mark, who has children and grand
children in about all the capitals OF
Europe, has just celebrated the 4oth
anniversary of his accession to the
throne. That is long time to be king
as the king business goes. and longer
still to be good king, but there are
few reigning monarchs in Europe who
have occupied their thrones longer,
though none have made cleaner re-
cords or won greater love from their
subjects.
Francis Joseph became emperor of
Austria Hungary in 1S48, Is years
earlier than King Christian TX. came to
his throne, and this makes him the dean
of reigning sovereigns. Various dukes,
grand dukes and princes have ruled
over their little territories longer-fo-
example, Frederick, grand duke of
Baden, who came into his title in 1852;
Ernest, duke Of Saxe-Altenburg, in
1858; John H.. prince of Lichtenstein, in
1858; and Nicholas, prince of Monte
negro, in 1860. The grand duke Of Baden
is uncle of the present German Emper-
or, and solid and sagacious man; and
the prince of Montenegro is father of
Queen Helene, who is this week in
England with her husband, the King of
Italy.
The only reigning king who has been
on the throne as long as Christian TX.
is George T., King of Greece; and it is
an odd fact that George is the son o.
Christian. Both father and son came
to their thrones in 1863, and the son
two weeks earlier than his father; but
in 1868 George was only II years old
while his father had attained the age OF
Is. Another odd fact is that Princess
Alexandra, the oldest daughter and
second child of Christian TX, and the
present Queen of England, was married
TO the then Prince of Wales in 1863, the
King of Greece and her father King of
Denmark, the marriage preceding these
family changes by about eight months
Three years later, in 1866, the Princess
Dagmar was married to Alexander Ill
of Russia, the father of the present
Car. The Dowager Empress of Rus
STA is the second daughter and fourth
child of Christian TX.
The King of Denmark is a simple
modest. honest gentleman. He is poor
as some kings go; but his necessary
economies have never hurt him with
anyone, while they have made his gov
eminent easy to support by the people
of Denmark, and have also made his
six children more sensible and attrac-
tive than they probably would have
been in more luxurious circumstances
He was fortunate in his wife, the late
Queen Louise. who died in 1898. She
was true helpmate to him being one
of those women who are clever without
being discontinued, and whose content.
ment at the same time is full of ingenu-
ity and energy in making the best of
things as they are.
