Base Ball

PENIS BEAT BRIDGEPORT 9 to 0.
The game between PENIS Grove and
Bridgeport last Saturday resulted in a
victory for PENIS Grove, score 9 to 0.
The Bridgeport team came down well
padded for the occasion, with several
Woodbury. players. 1t was not long be-
fore Penn's Grove discovered the weak
places and soon this fine padding looked
as if the moths had got into it. When
the contest ended PENIS Grove still held
the honors of winning every game on the
home ground this year and the visitors
went home with nine goose eggs. Con-
don twirIed for the home team and Dey
for the visitors. Bader caught for the
home team and Hughes for the visitors.
We wonder why it is that Paulsboro is
so slow in giving PENIS Grove a return
game. Can it be possible that they are
afraid of defeat? Penn's Grove was gen.
erous enough to give them a game but it
is a question whether they are generous
enough to return it. We sincerely hope
such is not the case. If Penn's Grove
plays as well as they did last Saturday
they will have no trouble in defeating
the rival cps"
1t was rumored that Holmes had sign
ed with Paulsboro but we are glad to say
as yet he has not and we hope he never
will. In Ford PENIS Grove has fine as
a first baseman as they ever had.
On Saturday 22d, Hamilton A. c., of
Philadelphia, will play here. This game
promises to be full of interest to base
ball fans. PENIS Grove will be streng-
thened by Lamont in the pitchers box
and Cochran on third base. All are in
vited to attend the game.

A Calf Mothers The Ducks

Four weeks ago Mrs. James Cook had
a hen to die ON her nest of duck eggs,
near the time for them to hatch. She
put the eggs under a feather bed and the
ducklings soon came out. They were put
in a coop on her lawn and are growing
finely. She also has a pet calf. When
it lies down near the coop the ducklings
nestle around the calf and the calf shows
its affection by mothering the orphans.
The calf will call the ducks, and the
ducks talk and gather close to the only
mother they ever knew.

LARGE YIELDS OF GRAPES.
Vineyards of Argentina Show Marvel
Gus Productiveness.

Wonderful yields of grapes are pro-
duced in some Argentine vineyards.
in Mr.. Treloar's vineyard, covering
five or six acres, small tram road
ran up the middle" continues the
same writer. Il asked what that was
for, and when told that it was to
bring the grapes to the wine press
wondered why they were not carried
in baskets. When l learned that off
these five or six acres eighty tons of
grapes are gathered each year I
ceased to think of the tramway and
my wonder was turned to the marvel
OF the earth's productiveness. Eighty
tons were the average yield, after
house servants, farm and garden serv-
ants and poems who drive troops OF
mules up and down the mountains
with ore from the mines, had eaten
their fill, and the house dogs, and the
dogs Of the servants and poems, and
also a vast number Of the little sill
ver-gray foxes which crowded in
yearly from all corners of the desert
during the grape season, and birds
that came from all places. There was
enough and plenty for all of these
and then eighty tons besides"

Adventures of a commuter.

Each night a small commuter goes
Where fragrant fields a-blossom lie;
He. takes the train in Mothers arms
And speeds away for Lullaby,
The fairy town of Lullaby.
No scenery bedeczs the route
To please tho weary travellers eye;
He only hears the station sung
And knows he is in Lullaby. .a-sa.,.
The dreamy town OF Lullaby.
Some nights he HES him back too soon,
And then it is, with sudden cry,
In wild alarm he seeks a train
To go once more to Lullaby,
In Fathers arms to Lullaby.
What's this? tack is on the track!
The train, derailed, rolls down the
Conductor calls the station out.
He hears he is in Blanky! Blank,
The tcrrid town of Blanky Blank!I
The accident at once brings aid
And helpers to their rescue fly;
Commuter takes another train
And starts again for Lullaby,
The sleepy town of Lullaby.

WHY HE LOST HER.
Young Mans Unfortunate Attempt to
Be Poetical.

How did lose her? My dear boy,
as easy as tumbling off log-by
sending her box If rare flowers. You
are astonished that this could lead
to an estrangement? Wait till you
hear what happened. was in Florida
and she was in Chicago, and thought
I'd cinch the thing by sending a box
OF orchids for her birthday celebra-
ton. This is what wrote on the card
accompanying the flowers:
Sweets to the sweets. To one as
fresh and sweet and blooming as these
flowers, which are only the type of
her own beauty Poetical, wasn't it.?
Unfortunately, though, the box mis-
carried, and didn't reach her in three
weeks. By this time the orchids were
as dry and shriveled up as last years
leaves.
And had written, ITO one as fresh
and sweet and blooming as these
iowersi" don't know what she said
about me when she opened the box;
but l do know that that was the last
OF me as far as she was concerned

'"The Bank of Ireland, like the Bank

hours. Immediately after the mount
ing of the new guard every morning
a knock at the door of the officers
room announces the arrival of the
head porter with a large book, in
which the officer signs his name, rank

the porter with the book half SOW
ereign is found on the table. 1t is the
