games. The same season he won ten
games and lost one. This is his first

cording to story that has been cir

good pitcher, has been in the habit Of

and, although the town had only 500
inhabitants, 1t paid Ruelbach 1925 q
week to pitch for Its team, the pride
of the town. That proved to be only
"necktie money" with Ruelbach. for he
made even more wages by receiving
on the side $3.50 for every man he
struck out and $50 for every time he
pitched out of his turn. AS Hinsdale
met many hard teams Ruelbach
pitched about two extra games a week.
and in one game struck out Is of his
opponents, SO that his extra compen-
sation for that game alone amounted
to $45 for strike-outs and $50 for TAX.

"scale" for the day being therefore $95.
A millionaire baseball fan. residing at
Hinsdale, made possible the big rake
off" for the ball players. He had the
baseball fever in the most aggravated
form, and frequently presented Ruel-
bach with SO notes for pulling par
ticularly tight game out of the fire.
Many minor league team was brought
to Hinsdale for exhibition games with
the collegians, and then Ruelbach'a
strike-outs would tickle the "angel" Of
the team so that he would shower the
crack twirler with more bank notes
for meritorious service. AS feeling ran
high in games between towns in New
Hampshire and Vermont. there was
considerable speculation, and when
Ruelbach was carded to pitch he usu-
ally backed himself with as much mon
ey as he could find takers for. Ruel-
bach made so much money with the In
dependent ball team that he had no
thought of getting into the major
leagues. But in an evil moment he
signed with the Sedalia team of the
Missouri Valley league.

THE EMPIRE OF SPEECH.
What Has Been Done by Improve
ments in the Telephone to
Advance It.

Two or three recent important i'm
provements of the telephone show what
undeleveloped capacities still lie hidden
in this wonderful far-talker of modern
science. In the first place, says. the Cos
mopolitan, it has become possible to
eliminate the telephone girl as con-
Meeting link, or rather a connector of
links, between the sender and the re-
ceiver of message. One can now
II you wish to talk with friend by this
new system, you simply look up his or
her number, and then on a dial, or min
iature switchboard, in your own house
or Office, you turn the indicator to the
digits representing that number, and
Immediately your friends bell rings.
and. without any further preliminaries,
you may begin your conversation. The
switching mechanism at the central ex-
change has automatically followed the
movements Of your indicator at home
and put you into direct communication
with the desired point. Besides. it gives
a delightful sense of privacy to a tele-
phone talk. Mechanical contrivances
possess no ears and no memories, and.
having nothing to forget, make no blum
ders.
But If the automatic telephone excites
grateful wonder, another recent inven-
tion-the telephone that takes your
speech, keeps it unuttered if your friend
happens to be out, but speaks it into his
ear as soon as he returns, whether the
interval be an hour or a week-must be
regarded as a marvel Of marvels. That
machine may consist either of q steel
wire wound on revolving drum, or q
hard steel disk revolving in ahorizontal
plane. Above the revolving wire. or
disk, is placed small electromagnetic ac-
tuated by the telephone circuit. All the
varying impulses that come over the
telephone wire under the influence of
the speakers voice are impaired by the
little magnet to the steel moving be-
meath it, and they make upon that steel's
surface series of magnetic Impressions,
like invisible dots, each Of which pos
sesses its own peculiar polarity and de-
gree of intensity. It is Just as If the
steel were a sheet Of paper and the mag
net a pen, and the magnetic impulses a
series of alphabetical signs jotted down
on the paper-only nothing is visible to
the eye. But the hundreds of little mag
netic poles are there. though unseen,
and when the wire or the plate carrying
these mystic hierglyphics is again
passed under the electromagnetic (the lat
ter being now connected with a tele-
phone receiver) they reproduce exactly
the same impulses that created them.
these impulses passing into the receiv-
er vibrate the speaking membrane and
give forth the voice and the words which
they had stored.
The only thing that man VINO has
in his Office needs to do Is
to set the apparatus going when he has
time to listen to it, and If any of his
friends have been speaking to it while
he was out. or busy, or asleep, their
messages will be repeated.

driver was a Cossack who dashed the
horses into run every smooth place he

up sideboards on his neck and had two

day before noticed that the road was
full of great dane dogs, wolf hounds and

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA.-MY
DEAR GROCERYWITZ: Well, sir, dad
and have got too much Of Russia the
quickest Of any two tourists you ever
heard of. That skirmish We saw, the
day the Russians blessed the Neva, and
shot blank cartridges filed with old iron
ut the car, was not marker to the
trouble the next Sunday, when the work
ing people marched to the Winter Pal
ace, to present a petition to the Little
Father"
We thought q revolution was like .
play, and that it would be worth going
miles to see. Dad was in South Amer
lea once when there was revolution.
where more than dozen greasers, with
guns that wouldn't shoot, put on Q dozen
different kinds of uniforms, and yelled:
Down with the government" and
frothed at the mouth, and drank butter
milk and yelled Spanish swear words,
and acted brave. until q native soldier
with white pajamas came out with
gun and shot one of the revolutionists
In the thumb, when the revolution was
suppressed and the next day the revolu-
ttonists were pounding stone, with can
non balls chained to their legs; and dad
thought a revolution in Russia would be
something like that, and that we could
get on front porch and watch it as it
went by, and joke with the revolution,
and throw confetti, like it was .
carnival. but that Sunday that the Rus
sian revolution was begun, We had
enough blood to last us all our lives.
We got q place sitting on an iron picket
fence, and we saw the people coming up
the street towards the Winter Palace,
dressed mostly In blouses, and looking
as innocent as crowd Of sewer diggers

for raise in wages of two shillings .
day. Nobody had gun, and no one
would have known how to use gun, and
all looked like poor people going to
prayers. There were troops everywhere,
and every soldier acted o. though he
was afraid something would happen to
spoil their chance of killing anybody.
The snow on the streets was clean and
as white as the wings of q peace dove,
and dad said the show was no better
than q parade of laboring men at home
on Labor day.
Suddenly some officer yelled to the
parade to stop. and the priest at the head

of the procession. who was carrying .
cross, slowed up little, like the drum
major of band when the populace at
home begins to throw eggs, but they kept
on, and then the shooting began, and in
a minute men, women and children we're
rolling in the snow, bleeding and dying,
the marchers were too stunned to run,
and the deadly guns kept on splitting
fire, and the street was full Of dead and
dying, and then the Cossacks rode over
the dead and sabered and knouted the
living, and as the snow was patched with
red blood, dad tainted away and fell OF
the picket fence. and hung by one pant
leg, which caught on a picket, and
crowds rushed in every direction, and
it was an hour before could get
drosky to haul dad to the hotel.
Dad collapsed when he got to the hotel,
and got doctor and a nurse, and for
two days had to watch the revolution
alone, while dad had fits Of remorse
cause he brought me to such q charnel
house, he said. ASH h@s. *s5S
Well, If you ever go anywhere, travel
ing for pleasure, do not go to Rus
STA, because it is the saddest place on
earth. I have seen no person smile or
laugh in all the ten days we have been
here, except a Cossack when he run
saber through little girl, and his laugh
was like the coyote on the prairie when
he captures a little lamb. The people
look either heart-broken or snarly, like
the people confined in an insane asylum
at home.
The car, who week ago was loved
by the people, who believed If they went
to him, as to their God, and appealed for
guidance, is to-day hated by all, and in
stead of Nicholas the Good" since he
scampered away to a castle in the coun-
try. and crawled under bed, all the peo-
ple call him 'the Little Jack Rabbit
and his fate is sealed, as bomb will
blow him into pieces so small they will
have to be swept up in dustpan for
burial, maybe before dad and can get
out of Russia.
Going to st. Petersburg for pleasant
outing Is good deal like visiting the
Chicago stockyards to watch the bloody
men kill the cattle, and the butchersin
the stockyards, calloused against any
feeling for suffering animals. are like
the soldiers here who shoot down their
neighbors because they are hired to do
so. The murder of those unarE ed work.
ing men, that Sunday, has changed
helpless, pleading people into anarchists
with deadly bombs in thel1 blouses
where they were accustomed to carry
black bread to sustain life, and with the
menace Of Japan in the far east and an
outraged people at home, Russia is in
bad way, and If was the car or grand
duke, Iwould find woodchuck hole and
arrange with the wooochuck for q FUR
nished fiat.
I didn't think there was going to be
anything going on in Russia except
bfoodshed and bombs, and things to
make you sorry that you were here. ana

course in August. Duray will be the
third French representative, and 9TH
ers who took part in the great event
are coming to America for the Vander-
bilt race. 1t only remains for Thery to
win the American road race to make
him the recognized champion automo-
bile road driver of the world. Few
dispute his claim to that title now, for
he has been consistent in his work for
the last two years. Winning the
French elimination test in 1904. he
followed this up, defeating the pick Of
the world in the Bennett race of that
year. He repeated this season. easily
scoring first in the French trials for
picking team to represent the coun-
try. This will be the second visit of
Thery and Caillois to this country.
They came over last fall, not to drive
in road races. but to try their skill at
track work. In this branch of the game
they were disappointing failures.
That the 1905 Gordon Bennett was
run without mishap of serious nature
surprised those who know how danger
GUS the course really is. None of the
drivers in the affair was hurt, acci-
dents to cars being the only mishaps.
Thery might not have had such an
easy victory had Lancia not met with
an accident. The Italian not only
caught Thery in the first lap, but
passed him, having the race we'll ip
hand in the third lap when his car
broke down. Those who contended
that a low-powered car driven at mod
crate speed would show to advantage
had their theories upset. for 1t was the
cars with the big power that scooped
up the prizes. Thery's car was Of &C.

road as smoothly as giant bird. The
showing made by the Americans was
disappointing.

from a gentleman who signs himself

son of the Count Of Honolulu, whoever
he may be, and has been trying to
authenticate his own claim to the title.
In his letter Montresor claims to have
in his possession several documents,

bearing such Inscriptions as the Royal
Supreme Court of Hawaii Free

Montresor wrote to the ex-Queen and

really was, what title and offices he
held, and where he died.

Refined-After a considerable period
of we'll sustained prices for refined su-
gar, in face of the elimination of the
bull campaign in raw sugars and con-
sequent repeated declines in the same,
the Arbuckla refinery started the down
ward course of the refined market with
a first deduction of 90 cents per 100
pounds.
The Arbuckle was followed to same
extent by the National and later by the
American while the Federal brought up
the rear with a reduction of % cents
per 100 pounds to basis of 5.35c. net
cash for Granulated. At the close the
quotations remain unchanged without
any visible increase of demand as a
result OF the reductions.
The present difference between Cen
trifugals and GRADUATED is now re-
duced to 1.04c. per pound
The country is not satisfied with this.
A further and material decline is in
evitable.
Prices of refined have only been kept
up this long because the refined product
was being produced from raw sugars,
costing much higher than present mar
ket values.
