deal was made with Manager Finn and
President Funk. The loca4 contention

no claim on his services after that

In regard to the shortstop's playing
with Baton Rouge toward the end OF
! the season, Mr.. Byington says that
Pender gave $50 in money to the To-
cal association for Claytons services.
The understanding was that Clayton
would be released by Baton Rouge at
the close of the season and this was
done. Clayton was Immediately
signed by Pine Bluff for next year and
his reserve promulgated by the local
association Baton Rouge bought his
services outright before Clayton

tnen released at the close of the sea

Clayton feels that a great injustice
has been done him by the Little Rock
association in the announcement that
he had been suspended by that club.

where Women Propose.

In the Ukraine, Russia, the woman
does all the counting. When she falls
In love with q man, she goes to BIS
house and informs him Of the state Of
her feelings. If he r~eciprocates, all is
well, and the formal marriage is duly
arranged. If, however, he is unwill-
Ing, h remains there, hoping to coax
him to a better mind. The poor fellow
cannot treat her with the least dis
courtesy, nor has he the consolation Of
being able to turn her out, as her
friends In such a case would feel bound
to ayenge the insult. His remedy,
therefore, if determined not to marry
her, is to leave his home and stay away
as long as she is in it. A similar prac-
tice to that In the Ukraine exists among
the Zuni tribe of Indians. The woman
does oil the counting and also controls
the situation after marriage. To her
belong all the children, and descent,
including Inheritance, Is also on her
side.

Once upon a time there was a spend
thrift who made his father very un-
happy through his profigate habits.
"My son." said the parent, "you
spend every penny that you get, and
1t must cease. Remember that the
pennies make shllings and the ehil.
lings make pounds. If you do moi
change your habits of always spend.
Ing to habits OF judicious saving, I will
not spare the rod"
The admonitton had no good effect on
the youth, and he continued to spend
the pennies before they could accu.

matter. but he applied the rod most
vigorously. 10 h1m until he howled with

H BALkY HORSE.

-
A Little Trick That, 1t Is Said, VIII
Start Him Every Time.
For the benefit of those who have
been caused a great deal OF anxiety by
3 balky horse, lost trains as we'll as
tempers and sometimes even ruined
the horse, the next time they have the
experience to run across q balky horse,
no matter how bad he is, let me tell
you how to start him ninety-nine times
out Of q hundred.
or course it may fail one time In q
hundred. When u horse balks, no mat.
ter how badly he sulks or how ugly he
is, do not beat him. Don't throw sand
In his ears, don't use q rope on his
fore legs or ven burn straw under
him. Quietly go and pat him on the
head q moment. Take n hammer or
even pick up n stone in the street,
tell the driver to sit still, take his lines,
hold them quietly while you lift up
either front foot, give each nail q light
tap and u good smart tap on the frog,
drop the foot quickly and then chirp
to him to go. In ninety-nine cases out
OF q hundred the horse will go right on
about his business, but the driver
must keep his lines taut and not pull
or Jerk him back.
Ii L have tried this once, 1 have tried
1t 500 times, and every time I have
suggested 1t people have laughed and
even bet So and bottles Of wine that I
could not do 1t. So far 1 have won ey-
cry bet. This may make you smile, but
q horse has more common sense than
most people are willing to give him
credit for. The secret Of this little trick
Is simply diversion. / am a firm belfev-
er that with kindness and proper treat
ment a horse can be driven with U
string.-Horse Shoers' Journal.
The Little Finger Nail.
Forty years ago in certain parts bk
the United States it was the custom ia
grow long nails. / we'll remember
some Of the swells and puffers who
devoted more attention to their little
finger nails than they did to their
teeth, and often have / seen the afth
digit with a claw on IL an inch and a
quarter in length. The nail was car
ried in a stall, and on occasion was
split after the IL Of q steel or
Quill pen, so that its wearer could sign
his name to a check with It, says q
writer in the New York Press. The
trimming Of nails today is an art
which gives employment to many pref
ty women who style themselves mani
cures. Nearly every first class, up to
date barber shop has its manicure,
who delights the man needing q shave
or hair cut with an innocent Irritation,
h dresses garishly and has a strut on
her that would arouse the envy Of a
saddle astride fox chaseress.

A Story OF cerrnn.a.

Ceryantes one gave a proof that his
generosity was fully equal to his gen,
1us. In the early part Of his life he was
for some time a slave in Algiers, and
there he devised a plan to free himself
and thirteen of his fellow sufferers.
One of them traitorously revealed the
design, and they were all brought be-
fore the dey of Algiers. who promised
them their lives on condition that they
revealed the contriyer OF the plot.
II was that person." at once cried
Ceryantes. Save nay companions and
let me perish alone"
The dey, struck by his irtrepIdity,
spared his life, allowed him 70 be ran

Napoleon and His Belief.

Napoleon, man of iron though he
was, gave great credence to the tales
OF the supernatural and was very SUI
perstitious. ne placed great faith In
an amulet charm which he always car
ried about with him. Another of his
superstitions was to hum the famous
air, Marlborough sen ya-t-en guerre,"
whenever he mounted his charge for
battle. Strangely enough, at the hour
OF his great conflict NJ. de Las Gases
tells us that the dying man hummed
the old afr. The Empress Josephine
shared her husbands belief in magic,
all the more because the predictions
made to her in her creole childhood
were fulfilled to the. letter In a manner
calculated to impress even the most
hardened skeptic.
