STAIRS DEFEATED
In the Ball Game Saturday With the
Panhandles.

4
Two innings were required SatuD-
day to show that the Starr Piano
team was not in the same class with
the Panhandle boys. The Starr
pitcher had a glass arm that broke
with every pitched ball. AS conse-
quence, after the second inning the
Panhandlas We're able, from long
practice, to step to the plate, swing,
and hammer out a homer at every ats
tempt with eyes shut. The Panhandle
team, while its ranks had been filled
with high school players, etc., to a
great extent, was able to down
its opponents with the greatest ease,
and the final score was IL to in its
favor.
The Panhandle team is beginning
to think itself "some pumpkins, -
and series of we'll earned victories
on the diamond seem to justify the
"think" Rethmeyer's pitching for
the railroaders was the feature of the
game But three hits were secured
off his delivery, which was perfect,
and but one one man walked. Reth-
meyer has speed to burn and good
control, and with practice, will make

A CRITICAL MOMENT.
The Daring Play That Won For tho
hhedive of Egypt.

Sir Edward Malet in Shifting Scenes
carries the reader to Egypt at stir
ring time in the history of the khedive
and shows how courage won the day
for him. When the moment came for
the bOmbardment of Alexandria the
young khedive refused to take shelter
ON board an English man-Ofwar. say
ing that his lot lay with his people.
He was khedive in nothing but name,
the whole power having passed into
the hands of the rebels, and his
chances of escape were hardly greater
than those of martyr in a Roman
arena before the wild beasts were I'M
Gagged. They did not send wild beasts
to tear him, but they did send cap
tain and his company with orders to
dispatch him.
The wit and presence of mind of the
khedive changed what was intended to
be the supreme tragedy of the revOlu-
ton into a comedy. He saw the band
of soldiers coming toward the palace.
When they arrived, prepared for re-
sistance and intending to break in the
doors, they found the aid-de-camp of
the khedive at the foot of the great
staircase. He met them civilly and
told them that the khedive was expect
ing them and that he had given orders
that they should be conducted at once
to his presence. Half sObered by the
unexpected reception, the soldiers
mounted the grand staircase and were
ushered into the presence of the man
they had been sent to murder.
He stood alone, calm and unhurried,
in the center of the great reception
hail. He at once addressed them, tell
ing them that he knew the errand on
which they had come, but that before
they carried out their instructions he,
like every man who was condemned to
die, had right to speak. To this they
agreed, and he proceeded to explain
the situation with a quiet good sense
that won their attention. He told them
that in the long run the greater power
must conquer; that as matters stood
he had the pledge of the English to
maintain him as khedive but that if
he no longer existed they would be
likely to take the country for them
selves, and that therefore from patri-
otto point of view they had better let
him live.
After discussing the matter at some
length in this strain he proceeded to
play his last card. He told the officer
in charge that he would at once raise
him in rank and confer upon him the
order of the Medjidie. With regard to
the soldiers who accompanied him, he
would constitute them his personal
bodyguard at that moment, as they
might already have perceived that he
was very much in want of soldiers.
, Thus it came about that the little band
bless.

woman raise a golf club with erky, uneven stroke
and come down on the innocent turf with the head
of It, as If beating carpet, has always given me a
chill and sensation of hopeless rage but there is
something about the way that Miss Harding does
