Hearts," the novel Of Russian Jewish life, just

Maxine Gorky's novels and stories. He was
born in Eastern Prussia in 1876. but taken
to Russia as a child, and lived there for nearly
twelve years, coming to America in 1893.

This first Of the teens has had to stand
for many an action that was ridicu-
lous, and yet there is hardly any per-
sons who would sidestep an inch or
mournfully rail at fate should he spy
a silver quarter on the sidewalk. Have
you ever taken the trouble to scan
closely this small piece of silver? If
you have not, you may be surprised to
find on the eagle side that there are
thirteen arrows in the bundle, which
is clutched in the left claw, thirteen
laurel leaves on the branch In the
other claw, thirteen stars at his head,
thirteen letters in the Latin inscrip-
ton, "E pluribus Unum," thirteen let
ters in the word quarter dollar" thir-
teen stripes on the shield, and on the
front Of the silver piece thirteen stars
surrounding the liberty head and thir-
teen leaves in liberty's crown. This
array Of thirteen is in commemora-
ton of the original thirteen States
which comprised the Union-New
York Press.

Civilization is spreading in Mexico.
A little red button worn by some 300
women, old and young, married and
single, in the City of Mexico, signifies
membership in what is known as the
Anti kissing League. Members of the
league take solemn pledge not to kiss
each other, in public or in private,
their contention being that kissing is
contagious. or, rather, the means oi
conveying contagious diseases from
one fair lip to another.

AALAS VS.. -ALOHAS.

The AalaS went to the bat in the first
inning and dampened the spirits of the
Alchas by making three runs to start
off with AS the Alohas were said to be
betting a little money on their ability
to win the game, this was like putting
a hole in their sails. Jonah was the
name of the Alohas' pitcher, and some
attributed the good luck of the Aalas,
at least in the first inning. to this
fact. There was a Solomon on the
team also. The Aalas connected with
Jonah's curves in good shape. The
first two men, E. Ayau and Kuhina,
went to the bench but Anderson had
the plea sure Of walking to first. Luning
knocked a two-bagger into right field,
sending Andy to third. III. Walker got
a short hit which eventually put him
on second base. On the throw in from
field Andy and Lunng were both
brought home. Walker came flying
home on wild throw while W. Ayau
was at the bat.
Jonah is Jonah," shouted some
one on the side lines.
Until the fourth inning nothing was
doing until Hot Air. Tom Ulukou
brought in E. Ayau on a swatter to
right field. When the Alohas went to
the bat in the last of the fourth, it
looked as if Andy was petering out,
for he pitched straight balls across the
plate. The Alohas connected up fairly
well. for .Kahaulelio made a home run
with long fly over center field. Later
on Jones brought in Hoopii by a
smashing liner to right field. a prettily
placed ball.
Then the fifth inning gave the Aalas
another lead. Luning and Anderson,
as usual, seemed to have luck at the
bat, Luning bringing his pitcher
home, as in the former in
ming, by sending two-bagger
into the right garden. Kuhina made
a spectacular run home by knocking
the catcher off the home plate. Ku-
hina was bit desperate and wanted
to score, and he naturally displaced
the catcher from the place where he
wanted to put his foot to make the
tally good. Another run in the sixth
gave the Aalas the lead.
Then the Alohas changed their luck
1t was wildly exciting time. Jones
sent three-bagger along the right line
bringing Jonah home. Bolster tapped
a pretty base hit and Jones came home.
Aylett connected with a base hit and
sent Bolster down to second Sol. Hoo
phi lined the sphere past third base and
Bolster trotted in, Aylett taking rest
on third. And then he stopped the
scoring by trying to run in
In the seventh the Alohas changed
pitchers, taking Jonah out to make
room for Townsend. but there did not
seem to be any Improvement. The
Aalas picked up another run In the
last half of the eighth the Alohas got
in two runs, and then Kolowana famed
out, leaving the Aalas victors, to I.
