Cincinnati critics intimate s4hat
1 Pitcher Kellum is to be let out de-
spite the fact that he won MAORI
ty of his games, because his work
was of the kind that does not inspire
confidence in his ability" and also
because "he is asking for oxorbitant
remuneration for his services for
next year"
Ex-Capt Arson recently said that
in his long career the following we're
the best players in their respective
positions: Pitchers Radbourn and
Garrison; Catchers Mike Kelly and
Ewing; Firs Baseman Arson: sec.
ond Basemen Pfeffer and Dunlap;
Third Baseman Jerry Denny; Short

Mike Lynch should make one Of
the greatest pitchers the game has
ever known. because with his speed

described as "a base ball head"

Doctors Not so Foolish.

i Congressman John Sharp Williams tells of man in Mississippi who is a hypochondriac of the first order. This man was one day telling friend of his efforts to regain his old-time health. He ran over the list of doctors whom he had consulted. Whereupon the friend remarked: Well, old man, I must say that you appear to have lots pf faith in doctors. ? Certainly have" replied the sick man; don't you think the doctors would be foolish to let a good customer like me die?"-Chicago Chronicle. ts

CHILDREN HUNT A DEER
Fifty of Them and a Few of Their
 Elders Chase Animal.

Southington, May 14.-Ftfty or more pupils of the South Center school and a dozen adults engaged in deer hunt yesterday morning. A young deer which had apparently come from the eastern part of the town, was seen on the hill back of J. H. Martins resi- dence on Main street. It ran across the street and entered the small wood back of St Thomas's church. From the grove the animal jumped four-ra1l fence and again crossed Main street, this time near the South Center school house.
 When the school children espied the deer they gave chase and several got within a couple of rods of the now frightened animal before it broke and ran, going up Meriden avenue and taking to the fields in tn eastern part the town.

Meat Cause of Appendicitis.

] The London Lancet reports discus sion of the Academy of Medicine, Paris, in which M. Lucas Championnere said that every day more confirmation was forthcoming of the idea that it was the abuse of a meat diet which was the principal cause of appendicitis. Tn nthose countries where natives eat very little meat, as Is Brittany, appendicitis is very rare. In England and the United States, where great deal of meat is eaten, ap- pendicitis is four times commoner than in France

 The place popularly known as the 1 Mixologists' club, situated over F. T. Hayes cafe on South Main street, was closed few days ago by MT Hayes, owner of the premises in which the club was located. 1t was generally supposed that the club was run for the benefit of the Bartenders' union, but in fact that organization had no connection whatsoever with it, for it was conducted by and for the sole ben eft of a certain individual. It was not difficult to become member of the ''Mixologists."

Rightly understood, happiness not only is our aim, but is plainly intend ed to be such by our Creator. He made us to be happy; the whole bear ing of revealed religion is to make us happy. Of course, the man who grasps at selfish enjoyment turns his back on happiness-self-sa and exertion, where needful, are the way to happi- ness.--A. H. K. Boyd
