STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
By O'Louqhlln.

Should you ask me whence these stories;
Whence these legends and traditions. -.-
With the odor Of the peanut
With the hoarse bawl of the rooter,
With the rushing of the shortstop,
With the jawng of the umpire;
I should answer, l should tell you:
''From the park Of Minnehaha.
Where Columbus got the kibosh
At the hands of Shifty Siever:
Where he famed them, fed them teasers,
Made them look like tainted money.
Filled the air with steam and curses
AS they scooted for their benches;
Fooled the hefty Lefty Davis, and the ..s
Talkative Bill Clymer; struck out
Pierce and Monseer Barbeau.
While the falls of Minnehaha
Fell and howled the laughing water;
While the crowd of two-bt testers
Rooted, howled and hooted with them
Held the Clymerites in limbo,
Gave them just five measly basehits,
Cleaned 'em up without tally;
While the braves with red stockings
Put their brand upon Gus Dorner;
Sievers with his four leaf clover
Broke 1t up In the fifth inning. & .-
When he smackecl a single outward
To the ferns in the left pasture;
Jones, the runner. got his ticket
When the German threw four wide ones.
Missing wide the tepee hearthstone;
Sullivan. another Indian from the wilds
OF South Dakota. sacrificed to
Send his fellows scooting up another station
Freeman tipped one to the center,
To the fielder who absorbed it,
But the Sievers eat the mustard.
Ringing up 4 rouTsd-trfp PASSAGE;
Then the mighty Marshall singled,
Bringing in the hotfoot Jones boy
And the scoring was all over
And the game won, two to nawthing.
4 Vain all the Jasper efforts
OF the rubes from down Ohio,
They We're picked. walloped. jousted
To the end of the ninth inning.
Breathed the fans: Farewell, oh Gustaf,'
And the wahoos of the grandstand
Rippled out across The meadows.
Thus departed hence the millers
Out to rustic for the pennant
In the glory of the sunset
To the dutch town Of Milwaukee,
To the regions of the brewery
And the home Of Joe Can-tilon,
Out to swing around the circuit, -
Not to come again till August
For the wind-up of the season.

SAcHETS AND PERFUMES.
When My Lady Looks After the Ways
of Her Household She Should Re-
member This Finishing Touch.

For the housewife who likes the
scent of lavender leaves in her linen
closets the cushions OF Japanese crepe
paper with oriental decorations are
useful and decorative. These cushions
are six or eight inches square.
Sandal wood sticks an inch square
and five inches long are useful for lay
ing among curtains and draperies
when they are put away in the spring,
and the fragrance will remain long
after the hangings are unpacked in
the autumn.
Oriental perfumes, though corsid-
cred progressively sweet by some folks,
are greatly in favor with many others,
and there are combinations of oriental
scents that are new and exceedingly
agreeable.
1t Is predicted that carnation will be
one Of the scents particularly approved
by fashion in the coming season, and
combined with violet is especially
good for sachet powder. OF course
violet, with a blending of orris ioot
and violet and heliotrope in comhina-
ton are always in favor. And old
fashioned lavender is dainty ca n
scent much liked by the exquisite
housekeeper.

HOW TO STOP BLEEDING.
Terse Directions and to the Point

q Case Of Emergency.

self being comparatively trivial af-
fair Whether light or serious, the
wound can wait, indeed In most cases
must wait. for the arrival of the physi-
clan, but the bleeding waits for moth
ing-it must be arrested speedily. and
II 1t is not stopped by some one on
the spot, or II 1t does not cease spon-
taneously, the coming of the physician
may be useless, for the wounds of a
dead man need no binding.
In classes of instruction in first aid
to the wounded. this point is always
insisted upon, and rightly; but unfor-
tunately how bleeding from a cut or
torn artery can be quickly and certain
ly arrested is not always clearly
enough explained. The pupils study
diagrams depicting the course and
direction of the large arteries, and
round black or red disks are placed at
the points where pressure can be eff
fectively applied to shut off the flow Of
blood from the parts lower down on
the limb; the application of a tourni-
quet is taught, and sometimes even
the mode Of tying an artery (Which Is
surgeons work and not to be attempt
eddy any member of a first-aid class)
is deliberately explained; but some
times the lecturer forgets to say that
the most copious bleeding can always
be arrested temporarily, and often per-
manently, by simple pressure made
directly on the bleeding point. II you
can put your finger literally on the
source of the hemorrhage and keep 1t
there, your wounded companion will
not bleed to death, at least not while
under your care.
One must make sure, In doing this,
that the finger is really making pres
sure on the bleeding point, which may
be deep down at the bottom of the
wound; but the continuance of the bleed
ing will soon prove that the finger, or the
cloth pad, or the rounded stick, or what
ever is used to make pressure with, is not
pressing on the right spot. Care must
be taken not to soil the wound with
dirty fingers or dirty rag. II time
and opportunity permit. the finger
should first be washed or at least
wiped with clean cloth, and If a
cloth pad Is used the outer layers at
least must be free from visible dirt.
In almost any company some one
may be found who has clean hand
kerchief in the pocket. One which has
not been unfolded is best, for this can
then be folded inside out and made up
into clean pad of any desired shape.

New Equipment for the Rock Island

months ago. 1t is indicative OF the IN.
dustrial and commercial prosperity OF
Rock Island states that, even before the
recent of the new equipment, 1t has Deem
found necessary to place another large or
der for delivery in the early summer.
The rolling stock which will be placed
In service this month includes new
pattern passenger cars from the Pullman
shops. which embody SO many comfort
contributing devices that they make
distinct advance in day passenger equip
ment. Ten Of the cars will be 70foot
chair cars, furnished with Ga twin reclin-
ing chairs, seating as many people. Inc
cars are equipped for lighting both by
Pintsch gas and electricity and are htted
with electric fans, for ventilation ana
cooling. -.
buled coaches, with seating capacity Tor
SO. The seats are upholstered in maroon
plush, otherwise the decorations are the
same as in the chair cars. All the cars
have very large double plate glass win
dows and are equipped with Pullman
standard six-wheel trucks.
An order is also in for over 1000 freight
cars of various kinds.
The Rock Island will also receive dur
ing March 65 new locomotives OF various
kinds, including 2 Pacific type passenger,
10 Atlantic type passenger, 10 freight and
20 switch engines. An additional order
for so locomotives will be placed in the
near future, for delivery in the summer.
This new equipment, which is to be
added to from time to time, places the
Rock Island in the front rank among
western railroads in the matter of trans
portation facilities. The foresight mani
tested in thus meeting, and adequately
providing for, the exigencies Of increased
traffic, is CHARACTERISTIC of the progressive
policy of the Rock Island management.
