SUnaMARY OF

scoring. For the benefit of those who do
not keep posted in the changes of rules

presents summary of the rules provid-
ed for scoring II game.
Many rootel> think that Il player
should he creIitcd with an error when
ever he touches the ball with one or two
hands in case he DOES not retire the run
ner but this is Il mistake which the rules
will show.

of safe hits by number of times at bat.
The next column, marked Il, signifies
the number of runs made.
WHAT A SAFE HIT is.
The third column is for safe hits. 4
base hit is when the batted ball strikes,
i'm fair ground and out of the reach of
Il fielder. The rules provide as follows:
when Il fair hit is partially or wholly
stopped by a fielder in motion. but such
fielder cannot recover himself in time to
field the ban to first base before the run

MUST NOT KISS WIFE ON STREET.
Husband Who Tried to Make Up Put
Under Ban by Court.

You must not stop your wife on
The street and try to kiss her"
This injunction was delivered by
Judge Littleford in the divorce court
at Atlanta. Ga, to John Casper, a
former policeman.
Mrs. Bernadina Casper complained
to the judge that Casper refused to
pay her temporary alimony and an.
noyed her on the street.
She said that one morning. while
on the street, Casper approached,
threw his arms around her neck, tried
to kiss her, and at the same time de.
manded to know why she applied to
the court for alimony.
When asked by the court to explain
Casper said he merely wanted to kiss
his wife.
Judge Littleford ordered Casper to
pay 81 a week to his wife, and to for.
bear from public demonstration OF his
affection for her.-New York Herald.

W. POST.
A PULPIT rto.esr.

A prominent clergyman contends
that there is neither health, sense
nor religion in full mourning. He tells
his congregation that a bit of Back
ribbon, worn in some way, will tell
the story Of bereavement just as wen
as a complete mourning suit. A bit
of crepe on the bell pull gives the
hint to those who pass by, and it Is
not considered necessary to cover tie
whole front with drapery. Why, then,
will not a bit of ribbon an cloak or
coat answe the purpose and a weight
Of useless expense and a costume that
is always gloomy, and in warm wealth
er very uncomfortable, be taken from
the shoulders of bereaved mourners?
Christians, he is convinced ought not
to take a gloomy view of death. There
are glorious hopes linked with the
sorrows, and the hopes of those who
are gone before should be symbolized
rather than the sorrows of those who
are left behind. He would have cheer
full garments worn by the m%ourners
in token of the triumph of the glori-
fed ones, and a bit Of ribbon or crepe
as a simple memorial of their own
sense of bereavement. The rest of
the full mourning he would send to
the heather, who in their sorrows at
the grave have no hone.

Trees Make Complaint.


When the trees in his orchard ut
Fresno, Cal. are getting cold tset Or
chilled limbs, they call Mr.. J. ?. Bel
ton up on the phone. So to speak, and
tell him to get up and put a hst wa.
ter bottle or a blanket on them.
Mr.. Bolton has had great trouble
with his orchards En- the slopes Of
California mountains, wherse sudden
frosts killed the buds al night.
But necessity proved the mother Of
an invention, which. thensh 1t keeps
him awake cold niEhts, Sives him
care-fres sleep bet~ een whites.
In every row there is q tree fitted
out with a thermometer and wires
connecting with an electric bell and
dial board in his bedroom.
Whenever the temperature Is too
low for the comfort of the yeuhs buds,
in any row the "noHitsr tree" with
the thermometer registers a noisy
kick in Mr.. Bottoms bedroom and
keeps 1t UP until measures AVE been
taken to arm the trees up.
The method is not to administer
whisky or chafe the limbs, but to
spread rolls of cloth about the trees,
squirt warm water on them and leave
tubs of water about. These, by freez-
ing, use up the action Of the cold in
the atmosphere.

Big Mills Take Pains to Ascertain
Quality Of Output.
1T is surprising to note the differ
ence that exists between the various
brands of -four" said o. D. Hutchin-
son, the representative OF one of the
big mills in Minneapolis, MINI. st
all depends on now the -four is milled
End on the kind of wheat from which
it is made. Flour made from hard
spring wheat will give from twenty
to forty more loaves OF bread per bar
rel than that made from the softer
winter wheat. 1t contains a larger
percentage of gluten and absorbs
more water. The mills are exceeding
" careful about the kind Of -four they
send out, and the testing department
Is one of the most important
branches.
After the -four is ground comes the
crucial test. A sample is taken and
made up into bread. We have four
bakings a day. and from twenty to
thirty leaves are baked each time,
each one pres enting a sample of
-four. After the test has been made
the bread is turned over to the Asso.
ciated charities.
You may have noticed that the col
or of -four is no longer a marble
white, but q creamy white. This comes
from the fact that the rich portion OF
the grain, right under the woody coat
ing, is ground into the -four. What is
left can hardly be called bran, for il
is only the coarsest part of the outer
