turned up in the sixth, when Shaub
was hit on the head with a pitched

catch him between the bases Berte
threw high to Cameron and Wanner
went down another notch. Lister drew
a pass and Shaub came up and both

other one by Vandine scored Wilson,
who was running for Shaub.

Once there was boy named
John. We think his last name was
Wanamaker, OF maybe it was money
maker, anyhow his name was John
with some kind Of a maker attached
to it. He owned fifty yards If cal
leo, three pairs Jeans, half dozen
pairs of home made yarn socks and
five pairs of boots. Through
Philadelphia newspaper he offered
to sell pair of socks for thirty nine
cents. The other merchants
laughed. Young John spent sixty
five dollars with the Philadelphia
Ledger to advertise just one time
and had less than one hundred doll
ars worth of goods. He was eau
toned by the merchants who "knew
it didn't payp But John didn't
listen to them and went and blew
his money in foolishly; and today
poor John sees the results of his
misdoings for he has so many large
dry goods stores thst he can hardly
find time to study his Sunday school
lesson.
