Dickens wife didn't like Dickens
books. She could see no humor in
them That was one of the reasons
Why she and Dickens lived apart.
"Byron's wife dsapproved of his

she would constantly break into By.

WATER BASEBALL THE LATEST
New Form of National Game Invented
by Gotham Schooiboys,

The latest form of the great nation
al game is water baseball, says a New
York dispatch. Indoor baseball, played
from fall to spring on The armory floor,
has been in vogue for several seasons,
and has won many loyal supporters.
Last summer one of the outing camps
where the schoolboys gather was the
scene of water baseball, which was the
result of happy suggestions of one of
the youngsters. The game developed
as doubtless baseball originally did
along the lines of "one oil cat"
Five men play on each side-a
pitcher and catcher and first, second
and third baseman. Each player
stands on a square float and rubber
ball is used. When batter makes a
hit he swims for first base and ad-
vances as in the regulation game.
The short, fast swims and the bob
bing in and out of the water on hot
summers afternoon is healthful sport.
Several camps will adopt the game
his summer.

WARDlNG OFF OLD AGE.
Simple Calisthenic Exercise That viii
Do Much,

A famous French general, when
asked how it was that he had such
an erect carriage, replied that it was
because he bent over and touched the
floor with his fingers thirty times
every day. If he had acquired rigid
ity of the spine so that he could not
do that. he would have had with it
weak abdominal muscles, which re.
suit in portal congestion. This portal
congestion interferes with stomach di.
gestion and with the action of the
liver. The poison-destroying power of
the liver is lessened, autointoxication
results and arteriosclerosis and old
age comes on at a much earlier day.
By keeping the spine flexible and the
abdominal muscles strong and taut the
portal circulation is kept free and old
age is held off.-Good Health.

Could Not Shut Eyes to SIeep-Spent

Worse-Cured by Cuticura
for S..

"A scab formed on my baby's face,
spreading until it completely covered
her from head to foot, followed by
boils, having forty on her head at one
time, and more on her body. Then
her skin started TO dry up and it be-
came so bad she could not shut her

with Cuticura Soap and Ointment

THE MURDER OF sERGIUs,

The assassination of the cars
uncle is another Russian horror at
tributable to the repressions of an
autocratic government. When humid
reds of people were shot down and
sabered by the Cossacks while on
their way, unarmed to peacefully pc
tition the czar, It was sure that there
would be reprisals that would touch
the circle of grand dukes.
1t is savage picture, that of the
military governor of Moscow blown
asunder and staining with his blood
the snow within the walls of the
Kremlin. But 1t was also a savage
picture that Sunday when the people
knelt in the snow in St. Petersburg
and walled their dead, shot down by
the soldiers of the car. These make
the sombre background of that sys-
tenn which holds Russia as the per-
sonal property of the grand dukes,
with the life of every man and wom-
an held at the will of the czar. 1t
throws into high relief the position
of Japan, fighting to prevent the ex-
tension of that kind of government
over Eastern Asia.
The world has made up its mind
that such government should not be
extended over more territory and
more people. for wherever it goes
will be reproduced the massacre of
st. Petersburg and the assassination
i'm The Kremlin. This will be as
surely as effect follows cause. Japan
is making the fight for better gov
ernment. and all the influences of
liberty and humanity inspire her
armies.
