Base Ball
End vs. Chickasha- Evangelists
lget the Third Game Score a.

Out of the three game series
between Enid and Chickasha that
was played at the Rock Island Ball
Park this week the visitors copped
the first and third games.
The last game Of the series was
played yesterday to a fair crowd.
The game was opened up with the
locals in the outs and the new
pitcher Henderson in the box. Mr..
Henderson was a little wild during
his three times in the box, but we
must take in consideration that
he has just recently recover
ed from a spell of sickness
and without any practice since
went in the box to pitch the game
We know that he has pitching
qualities and that he will shine
in the future. The fans as well
as Manager Harzlett and the entire
ball team are proud of our new
pitcher and feel that he will
strengthen the team. The main
features Of yesterdays game was
Kern's good catching and tossing
to bases. Only one man stole a base
on him, the ball had to be wild and
out of reach to get a base before
a hit. Houser first time landed
Frautz for safe hit and Porkoney
bats him to score from second,
Porkoney stole second on first ball
tossed by Frantz. Grant raps out
single and figures Porkoney on
the score. Andrews went in She
box after the third inning and
pitched successful ball. Tarr was
a mustard seed on short stoT
and the balls all stick we'll to Tarr'
Wolfort showed up in left field
well, he had six chances and saved
every one. Cooley did his gooc
work OH third. Capt. Bennett re
ceived several good warm ones or

Frantz was the twirler for tn,
| Evangelists and pitched hrst-clas
ball. Grant our famous third basl
man played errorless hall and Hou

States can, if they will, better do for

States can, if they will, better do for
themselves.
The States have had no difficulty in
getting together on uniform laws re-
lating to money affairs; so it would
seem there is no insuperable obstacle
to their getting together on a vital
question of morals. Since the several
States can agree to protect the banks,
the way is open to an agreement to
protect the homes.
The courts of Delaware, according
to Mr.. Dixie are forbidden to entertain
a suit for divorce for any cause arts
ing prior to the residence of the pc
titioner in that State unless it were
also a ground for divorce in the State
where it arose.
The adoption of a similar law in Ill
the States would effectually end the
migrations for divorce. 1t would put
an end to the rivalry for divorce fees
between the States which induces so
much of the liberality of the laws

however, as much as it saddened her,
until something happened the most
trivial occurrence which led up to a
little difference of opinion. She asked
me lot Of questions, and as it seemed
both unwise and unkind to deceive her,
l told her the whole truth.
''You know, Todd, that while my life
has not been absolutely snowy, there
are no very black spots anywhere
just little lapses here and there which
a wise man would forget But l was
not wise. I knew she cared enough to
forgive the mild wildness Of youth
and set about reforming me-which
she had already done, had she but
known it.
ION the other hand, I wanted to
show her that her view Of life was i'm
practical, if not quite impossible, for
although I would not have had her
change radically, wished her to see
life as it really is, not as she dreamed
it to be. Foolish, wasn't it? I should
have let things take their natural
course.
'Well, she took the whole thing
amazingly hard. Thought 1 was all
wrong. And I could not, of course, re-
tract my views at once. though I want

Aluminium Baby Carriages.

There are made in England baby
carriages with aluminium bodies. They
are described as the latest thing in
baby carriages.
This aluminium baby carriage is
modelled precisely on the lines Of what
is known here as the English baby car
riage. 1t is Of only half the weight
Of ordinary wooden carriages, and it
is said Of it that it twill prove a great
boon in billy districts"
It should be borne in mind. however,
that ''half the weight refers to half
the weight Of wooden carriage Of the
type commonly used in England. and
that while there are now being used
here an increasing number Of English
baby carriages with wooden bodies,
the great majority Of the baby car
riages used in this country are made
with lighter bodies Of wicker-work.
A New York dealer in baby carria ges
said that he had not heard Of the i'm
portation Of any Of these aluminium
baby carriages into this country. and
that he did not see why they should be
needed here; that there were made here
baby carriages, with steel ball-bearing
axles, that rolled SO easily and smooth
ly that touch would send them half
the length of the store floor; and lie
could not imagine carriage rolling
and handling more easily than that, or
that one to run more easily could be
required in this country.-New York

Uniform Divorce Laws.

Secretary Dixie, of the National
League for the Protection of the Fam
lily, has supplied new summary OF
the reasons for uniformity Of divorce
laws throughout all the States, and
uniformity is to be gained, he con
tends, by concerted action of the sew
eral States, not by national legisla-
ton.
Congress cannot pass divorce law
until the federal constitution has been
amended, and amendment to the fed
eral constitution is next to the impos-
sible. Besides, there appears no good
reason why the national government
should do for the States what the

Power in a woman's Eye.


A woman's eyes are the first objects
to attract a mans attention, and they
are the last things he remembers about
her. Long after he has forgotten the
color Of her hair, the dimple in heI
chin and the soft, sweet sound of her
voice, the look in her eye remains with
him.
He may not be able to single her
glove out Of pile Of keepsakes; he
may have cast her photograph upside
down into the waste basket with lot
Of others; the slippers she made for
him may have been worn out by his
valet, but still some particular turn of
her glance or lifting her brown eyes
Ten years after love has been laid
away in his little satin-lined casket
that glance will rise like BanQuo's
ghost at the feast and startle him just
at the moment when the man is look
ing most intently into the eyes of an
other woman.
It is not the color Of a wOman's eyes
which a man first observes or last re-
man will turn from the glance Of a
pair Of soft brown, coWlise eyes to
gaze into the green orbs Of the red
headed girl on the other side of the
table, and many doll-like, blue-eyed
beauty weeps because some pug-nosed,
tawny-eyed woman has lured away her
sweetheart.
Ask any man the color of his sisters
eyes and he will look at you blankly.
"Jove," he will remark, Ell believe
Ire forgotten. But they're all right.
There's something about them that's
catchy" And that is positively all
that can be gotten out Of him.
The fact that Becky Sharp's eyes
were green or that Cleopatra's eyes
were yellow never interfered with the
Vaccinations Of those fascinating la
dies, nor dulled their regulations as
coquettes. Color, size and shape may
make an eye beautiful, but they never
can give it that something which so
many beautiful eyes lack and so many
homely ones possess, the power to
make a man break a bank or sell his
overcoat in order to give his wife what
she wants.
When the world was sentimental
men called it "soul." Then they grew
practical and apathetic and they called
1t character" But no man will ever
know what it is any more than he will
ever know why he married the partic-
ular woman he picked out or why the
cook has left 1t is question as sub
tie and elusive as either Of these

ed to fast enough, simply to smooth
things over.
''We parted at odds. fully expected
that she would call me back after a
day or so, but she didn't After two Of
the longest weeks in my life sent her
a letter in which my whole heart was
laid bare.
Todd, meant every word Of that
long, cOntrite message in which
vowed to live up to her ideal as near
~ as possible, with her love to aid me,
which would have been reward enough
for any sacrifice. And finally I asked,
as sign Of forgiveness, that she put a
rose at the window Of the little room
in which I had passed the happiest
hours Of my life.
II wanted red rose, because she al
ways wore that flower either in her
hair or at her corsage. I told her l
should pass that window every even
ing until the token invited me within.
Every night for eight months I have
kept my word, always in vain. Twice
I met her, and both times she sternly
avoided me.
''That is the end of the story.
know I can't forget here while I am SO
near her, and for that reason I've made
up my mind to cut loose from the old
surroundings and strike new trail.''
1T is possible that your letter
strayed," the boyish voice suggested,
hopefully. II wouldn't let it go at
that. Write again."
II have tried, to take comfort in the
sorry thought Of the strayed letter, but
know the excuse won't stand, for my
own address was both inside and out
| side Of the letter. Even if I had made
mistake in the address-which is al
| together unlikely in a matter Of such
importance--it would have reached
her, for every postman on the route
knows the Gretners."
"The Gretnersw echoed the unsus-
pected listener, under his breath. He,
too, knew the Gretners, whom he Wis
tied surreptitiously on a certain night
some years before the coup that led to
his capture.
''Why, man, you're foolish. Call on
her and have it out; why not?" the
other man urged.
IF it was any other girl but Alice
Gretners I should do that very thing,
but I know better than to ignore her
attitude, which has shown me plainly
that everything is over between us.
Well, shall pass her window tonight
for the last time, and If"
Gaffney hurried away cautiously.

out the watch, which was very hand

HABITS OF LIFE.


Charlotte NJ. Yonge once said that
before she published her first book
there was a family council held as to
whether she should be allowed to do
so. In conserving, there was an I'M
derstanding that she would not take
money herself for it, but that it would
be used for some good work, for it was
thought unladylike to benefit by ones
own. writings When she was asked
what she would have done if she had
been forbidden to publish, she quickly
replied, '.Oh. l must have written, but
I should never have published, at least,
not for many years.
Miss Yonge was accustomed when a
girl to write down the conversations
which passed during the day with her
friends and cousins. This habit must
have given the young writer excellent
practice in style.
They are evidently an almost exact
record Of what was said, mixed up and
disjointed, as family talk is apt to be-.
All kinds Of topics appear in them
books, dress, poultry, walks, botany,
fancy work, everything that was going
on. They are not discussions, pre-
served as expressions Of opinion, but
the ordinary chat and chatter of clever
young people. Her home childhood, as
Miss Yonge says herself, was solitary.
~ have paced alone, on days unfit
for 'grubbing,' on the gravel path
round our field, dreaming and castle
building, and it has the advantage Of
teaching one how to be alone"
These must have been the times
when, as she says, 81 imagined ten
boys~and eleven girls living in an arbor
in the garden, but 1 can remember
nothing about them except that their
names were. Caroline and Lucy"
The story Of childhood, says her
biographer, Mrs. Coleridge, is specially
important in her case, because the
child was so entirely the mother of the
woman. What she was at Is, that she
was, with notifications, at so. The
principles, the loves, the habits Of
youth remained with her through life.

Many mothers do not recognize the
fact that baby's teeth should be
cleaned, not only as soon as they ar
rive, but even long before-as soon as
the baby itself arrives, in fact. Many
little chubby face is kept scrupulous-
ly shining with cleanliness on the out
side-but 0 dear! the poor little mouth!
1t Is really much more important to
keep the inside Of a small child's
mouth clean than the outside A dirty
little face may mar beauty, but it does
not threaten health, and a neglected
mouth does.
Young children, as soon as the first
teeth appear, should be given little
tooth brushes with very soft bristles,
and should be taught to use them, and
then watched to see that they always
do use them. But as to- infants, the
toilet of the mouth must be performed
for them, and should never be neglect
ed. For this purpose little wad of
sterilized absorbent cotton should be
used, and then thrown away, or rather
burned. When the baby has its bath
the mouth should, as matter Of rou-
tine, be washed out very gently with
pledget Of cotton wet in a solution Of
boracic acid, or any other mild disin-
fecting liquid. If the little gums are
soft and spongy and bleeding, dabbing
them with tincturc Of myrrh will help
them. The reason for all this care is
the same reason that makes the care
full adult use his tooth brush scrupu-
lousy after each meal-namely, that
harmful germs constantly exist in the
mouths Of all Of us, even the health
lest, and babies, although they have no
teeth, are no exception to this rule.
