use of toSls," said Mr.. Charles
Sydney, an English resident of
Yokohama, according to the
Washington Post.
"At the time the little yellow
man knew comparatively nothing
of labOr-saving devices, and in all
Japan as simple a tool as an au.
ger was not to be found. When |

fectly delighted, and / knew that

hit. Shortly afterward, to my
great chagrin, my entire outfit of
assorted augers was stolen. The
loss was a serious one, for it meant
a long delay in some construction

ough search was made for the
tools, but in vain, and / resigned
myself to their loss.
"One morning, about two weeks
after the theft, in going to my
shop, to my great surprise found
laid out on the bench the missing
augers, and by the side of each a
brand new one that on examina.
ton proved to be an exact dupli
cate. Instead of a theft, the new,
tangled American tools had been
borrowed simply to serve as mod

evidence that these people can,

DOUBLES OF FAMOUS MEN,

writes a Paris correspondent of

Louis Napoleon risen from the

tiny, however well made up, as
this particular one would have
been. He knew of the resem-
blance | had noticed, and gloried
in it. The Comte de Paris also
had a double, or what looked one
at a distance. The likeness, strong
enough to have been the pivot of a
tragedy of errors, disappeared
greatly when he took off his hat.
The Comte de Paris had a point

The sister of the late Mrs. Moses
Levy, of the Daily Telegraph,

sunburnt, have easily passed at
the age of so for the late queen.
Louis Philippe's double, an Ital-
ian named Chiappini, emigrated
to the Cape. His grandson-in-law
is Mr. Rudd, the associate of
Cecil Rhodes. The resemblance
was even stronger between Louis
Philippe and Chiappiani padre. l

by the late Lord Marlborough to
his son, and addressed to me, in
which his lordship stated that the
first time he saw the Citizen King
he exclaimed: "What an image of
Chiappini" and could not keep his

The probabilities are that the school
board will be called upon to elect a
new principal for the high school next
year. Principal Ellis L. Graft. who has
been in charge of the high school as it's
principal for the past three years, re-
ceived this morning from Rockford, ILL.,,
a telegram announcing his election to
the principaQship in that city. Mr..
Graft has not as yet wired his accept
ance, but there is every likelihood that
he will do so. A much wider field and
substantial increase in salary makes
the new position desirable.
The school board at Rockford held
its election Thursday night and decided
upon Mr. Graft as the candidate best
suited for the position. There were
sixty applicants. The salary at Rock
ford for the first year is sl,SOO and for
the second $4,000. Mr.. Graft receives
$500 here and that is about as high
a figure as the board can afford to pay.

Graft has been emlnently successful as
a principal and the board will regret
very much to lose him. He is hard
worker, has shown good executive apii-
ity at all times. and has had the loyal
support of his teachers, fact SO neces-
sary for the welfare OF the school. In
speaking of his contemplated departure
this morning Mr.. Graft said that he felt
the offer of the position, in one sense,
to be something of calamity, for ne
regretted very much leaving Marshall
town. At the same time there are other
things to consider and as he Is looking
for advancement, as are all men, ne
feels that he cannot afford to sacrifice
the better opportunities that are now
open to him.

Norton Issues Instructions.

President +. G.. Norton, of the Iowa
State League, has issued instructions
to the four umpires of the league. The
talk rule adopted by the major leagues
will be enforced. and in order to have
uniformity a strict adherence to all the
rules will be observed. At a recent
meeting of the umpires President Nor
ton discussed the details with the men,
and has issued the following set OF
rules and instructions to all managers:
pitcher must have both feet on the
slab; any deviation from the position
as defined by the rules In the act OF
delivering the ball shall be declared an
illegal delivery.
Amy motion of the pitchers arm, leg,
shoulders, hip or BODY, to deceive the
base runner. shall be declared a
'balk.'
Interference of bats,man. to assist
base runner to advance, shall call base
runner out; If there should be two base
runners taking advantage of interfer-
ence. the one farthest advanced shall
be declared out.
1T shall be optional with the umpire
to either fine or remove player from
q game, or both.
Under no circumstances shall any
fines imposed be RENTED, realizing
that any leniency shown by this office
to an offending player would have a
tendency in measure to curtail the
umpire's authority. / WILL therefore.
uphold the umpire in all his decisions.
Nom compliance with his rulings means
forfeiture of games and a fine of $50.
ample police protection must be
provided for at all games.
Foul lines should be well marked
and extend to fence.
"In arranging for transportation for
players to and from the game, kindly
remember the umpire.
Kindly bear in mind that the great
national game is played for the benefit
OF the people who contribute their %
cents at the gate, who come to see base
bah and not wrangling match. Re-
member that the umpire has several
hundred decisions to render, and IL he
makes but few errors daily his rec
ord will excel that of any player
Perfection is a state of life attained
