A funny play came up in a recent base
ball game. at San Francisco, which con-
fused umpire, players and public alike
for a few moments.
Wheeler was hit by a pitched ball in
the fifth inning, the sphere bounding off
his person 70 the backstop, where it was
picked up by a spectator and tossed to
Leahy. Wheeler saw the = owe and
sprinted 10 second. but Leahy had the
BAH there ahead of him. and the umpire
declared him out.
Dillon. the opposing captain. made a
strenuous kick claiming that the ball
was blocked. and the umpire then re-
versed his decision. Another big kick re-
suited and the outcome OF the matter
was that Wheeler was finally ordered to
return to first base, where he properly
belonged.
Three different decisions were made BY
the umpire on the one play. none of which
called for an exhibition Of JUDGMENT.

The editor of the Birmingham (Ala.)
Leader un5osoms himself with the fol-
lowing flow of wisdom:
There are many and peculiar ways
o. advertising. This was illustrated
a few days ago, when gulf resort had
a letter sent out telling of the descent
on that coast of school of big sea
turtles and sea trout. That was to
stir the heart of the sportsmen of the
rod. At the same time Maine resort
had telegram sent out telling how
the moose and deer are destroying the
crops and even invading the gardens,
so many and so fearless are the big
animals. That, two, was intended to
attract men who hunt with guns.
Chicago published story that it
was so cold up there last week that
rain fell in frozen chunks that chilled
the air, killed birds and made horses
run away. California is telling how
there is so much fruit out there that
all kinds Of game is fat and tame, the
people not having time to gather the
game, because they are tying to save
the fruit.
These things are due about this time
of the year, when people are taking
their holidays, and they do attract.
If there were hotel on Shades Noun
tain it could tell about needing fires in
the early morning and blankets every
night and water too cold to drink.
People like such stories, and go far
and work hard to verify them. But
Maine still leads in that kind of adj
vertising,

the king OF Italy took possession of the

the temporal power of the pope has

to be liberal in his tendencies, and it is
hoped that warmer feeling may de-
velop between the pope and the italian
government. The new pope is not d
member of any of the religious orders,

between the holy see and the United
States concerning the friars in the

suggestion, which is well worthy of
considerations:
lin some future and more enlight-

much the business of the government
to provide means for men to go where
they are needed to garner the wheat, or
dig the ore, or gather the fruit, or do
the useful productive work of country
or city, as it is to send ships loaded
with fighting men to strategic points
in another hemisphere. or cart train
