FOR THE CHILDREN


There are many kinds Of balls for
sale in the shops, but most Of them are
too hard for ordinary hand playing,
The writer Of this has never seen any
thing to equal the balls he used to
make for himself when he was boy,
and he wants to tell the other boys
how he did IT.
Get a perfectly round orange and cur
the peel into even quarters, numbering
them at one end so as to be able TO put
them together again IA their proper
order
Ask your mother or your sister for Il
pair Of discarded kid gloves with long
wrists, and out Of these wrists cut four
pieces exactly like the four pieces Of
orange peel. Number them as you did
the pieces Of peel and with linen
thread sew over and over three seams,
thus putting the four pieces together
but leaving one seam open. This IS the
cover for your ball.
Get solid rubber bail about three
quarters Of an inch in diameter, and
on it wind the common wooden yarn of
which stockings are made. You can
buy the yarn at a shop, or, if you can
get an old stocking, rlvel it out. DO
the winding evenly, 50 as to keep the
BAH perfectly round, aud Try it now
and then to see if it is large enough
for yOur cover. You must make it 50
that It VIII fit in the cover exactly, and
then you draw the remaining edges to-
gethcr and sew them over and over as
you did the other seams.
The boy who uses q bEll Of this kind
will never willingly use any other. It
is plenty hard enough and yet is soft
TO the touch. and the rubber center
gives Il all the needed bounce.

Dolly Warden Ribbons.

Some OF the ribbons have distinctive
names this year, and that being the
case there are, of course, the Dolly
Warden ribbons, for dainty Dolly is
godmother to bodiCcs, hats and all
kinds OF feminine apparel this season.
1t is hard to characterize the Dolly
Warden ribbons apart from that they
are just charming they blossom with
flowers like the Dresden ribbon; they
glow with color like the Persian rib
bons; but anyway they are pretty
enough to deserve the name of the
dainty from whom they get their title,

laps Press Forward.

St Petersburg, october 5.-l:i5 a. m.,-- Official advices from the far east this morning describe number of skirmishes on the southern front of Kuropatkin's army, the only importance of which lies in the fact that the Japanese are show ing disposition to press forward and feel out the Russian positions. General Mist chenko's cossacks In every case drove back the opposing forces
 The activity of the Japanese outposts Is doubtless intended to screen move ments of their armies. and therefore may be regarded as precursory symptoma of final preparations for an advancer which will probably begin within s week.
 A social messenger has brought to thd emperor General Kuropatkn's full report of the battle of Liao Yang. The messen- ger who submitted to an interview de- clares that the main army is concen trated at Tie Pass. and that Ii Is moi likely that General Kuropatkin will make a determined stand at Mukden There are recurrent rumors tonight oi the fall of Port Arthur, but they have not the slightest foundation.

DUNCAN TELLS HOW HE ESCAPED FRON THE JAIL
 AND FLED 70 CHATTANOOGA
Will be Tried a Today Charge Swallowing Says the Only 0b ton He Has Returning Birmingham They Will Take My Top of
 Alabama Officials Will Have No Trouble Getting the Prisoner

It cannot be said now when the officers who went to Florida will return to Bir- mingham with their prisoner. As Deputy Stradford expressed 1t last night, They will remain there just AS long as there Is any hope of getting Duncan
 When Duncan Is brought here there Is no doubt but what the people of Bir- mingham will have an opportunity to see the noted criminal. Several people. believing that the officers would return to Birmingham today with their man, had arranged to go down as far as Calera to meet the party. 1t Is understood that Shern Burgin has made all arrange ments to seerete the prisoner en route He will engage a drawing room In sleeping at Montgomery. and the party will be locked in this compart- ment until Birmingham Is reached.
 Chief Deputy Stradford is now mak- ing an estimate of the expense the sher- If has been put to in undertaking to ap-
 prehend Duncan. The condemned man
 escaped from the county jail on the morning of January 20, 1902. and during
 the first two months the sum of s1.395. 96
 was expended in an effort to have him l captured. The sheriff immediately offered a reward for his capture and before | leaving for Florida he secured certified 1 check for $500 on the Alabama National l bank of Birmingham with which to pay l the reward. Besides this he carried a let l ter of credit to be used In case of an emergency.

Although Sheriff Burgin was armed with proper papers from Gov Jennings. he submitted to the detaining of the pris- oner to be tried, as circuit court began today.
 A true bill was found against Duncan and his pal, Stafford. for blowing a safe at Leesburg Fla, to which they pleaded guilty at the commencement of the trial. but today In open court they rendered a plea of not guilty and they will be tried tomorrow at g o'clock
 On the governors advice. If Duncan Is found guilty sentence will be suspended and he will be turned over to the Ala bama officers.

St Petersburg, October 1.-The war Of flee has received the following dispatch from General Sakharoff dated October 5.
 "At dawn of October 1 a squadron of Japanese cavalry twice attempted t2 break through the line of advance posts of cossacks of the guard In the district between Khuankhuandia and Fengtiapu. Both attempts were unsuccessful. Two sotnias of our cavalry reinforced the ad- vance posts and the Japanese dispersed.
 Toward noon the same day, one bat tallon of the Japanese advance guard, with two or three sauadrons of cavalry, renewed the offensive movement against A reRiemnt of cossacks. The firing lasted until nightfall. General Mistchenko sent endorsements to the aid of the eossaeks and toward evening the enemy was re- pulsed at all points, the whole line re- treating toward Sialionkhetzy, pursued by our cavalry.

WINCHELL WINS
 OUT OYER LOREE
LoREE RESIGNS AS PRESIDENT OF THE ROCK ISLAND SYSTEM AND WINcHELL BECOMES SOLE EXECUTIVE HEAD.

Chicago, October 1.-The Record-Her- tion of l.. F. Loree as president of the Rock Island railway system, will state that MT. Loree's resignation came after a series of conferences lasting more than week of the principal owners of the resld.
 At ...ese conferences, according to the Record Herald. were Wm. H. and James H. Moore, D G. Reid chairman of the Roc. Island board; Robert Mather, vice. president and general counsel of the road, and B. F. Winchel. president of the Rock Island Railway company. At these meetings, the Record Herald will say, there developed differences of opinion as to methods of management which were diametrically opposed, and the outcome was the resignation of MT. Loree. The Record Herald will say:
 'The battle if battle 1t may be called. was largely between MT. Loree, supreme executive head of the Rock Island sys- tenn and MT. Winchell, president Of the Rock Island railway, whose methods and policies have been diametrically opposed from the beginning The policy outlined and advocated by MT Winchell won the day, and hereafter he will be the sole executive head of the system, with power subordinate only to the owners.
 According to the Record Herald MT. Lo- rec, in rendering his resignation, gave up salary of s75,0OO annually, guaran- teed for a period of five years. It was nine months ago that MT. Loree resigned the presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to take up the management of the Rock Island system. A cash bonus of s5OO,O0O the Record-Herald will say, was one of the conditions that induced him to make the change
