GOES AT ONCE FOR A TRIAL
Annual Meeting of Local Association
CaIled-Meidroth Quits at

Johnny Wanner is not likely to APP

has been drafted by the Portland Pa
cific league team. and leaves for the
coast tonight TO finish the season. II
ne makes good and it is scarcely ex-
pected that he will do otherwise. Rock
Island will know him no more. While
the Rock Island association is always
glad TO see promising players go to
faster company, particularly when there
is a suitable consideration to be had,
the drafting of Wanner by Portland is
not an altogether pleasant surprise. The
services of the player next season had
been counted upon. and it was felt that,
should he continue TO show improve
ment. major league berth would prob
ably be open TO him. Wanner came to
Rock Island in the latter part of 1904
from Geneseo his home. without pro-
fessional experience. and first played
the outfield The following spring he
went to second base. and has held
down that cushion since. His record
this season was probably the best all
league.
Annual Meeting Tomorrow.
Tomorrow evening the Rock Island
Baseball association will have its an
nual meeting at the Harper house. The
years work will be gone over, and the
outlook for another season canvaSsed.
The attitude to be taken by the repre-
scntatives of the local club who will
be chosen to attend the annual meeting
at Chicago is to be determined. The
election of officers also takes place.

other fifth to G.. e. Mathes of the Nc

In speaking of the deal last nigh

\ Wonderful Sensitive Plant.

An incident related by the author of ''The Pearl of India" in his description of the flora of Cryiou is almost ull- canny, although we are assured that it is true. It is about the mimoSa. .. sensitive plant, and makes one almost wonder whether the plant has intelli- gcnce. The doctor. one of the charac- ters of the book. while sitting with the family oil the broad piazza which form ed the front of the bungalow of q coffee plantation recognized thrifty sensitive plant. and it was made the subject of remark He called his young daughter of eleven years from the house.
 Lena said he, "go and kiss the mi mosa."
 The child did so. laughing glecfully and came away. The plant gave no tok- en of shrinking from contact with the pretty child.
 Now" said the host. will you touch the pla"t!'
 Rising to do so. he approached it with one hand extended, and before it had come fairly in contact the nearest spray and leaves wilted visibly.
 "The plant knows the chld.'' said the doctor, but you are stranger

The Magic of a Mirror.

A ward patient in Roosevelt hospital, New York. grew gradually weaker without any apparent reason. She's fretting herself to death about some thing" said the nurse If she would confde in me think she would get better. By and by the patient did open her mind and heart. 'If could only see myself" she walled. "Td feel different. know l must look like death or you'd let me have q looking glass" 1t was against the rules to sup ply patients in that ward with mirrors but the nurse, recognizing the gravity of that particular case, smuggled in a small hand glass. The result was mi raculous. "Why, dear me-" said the sick woman. 'I don't look half so bad as I supposed I did" And from that hour she began to improve.

Tempered =Stomachs.

Even though it takes pork four hours to leave the stomach and six more to be dissolved and absorbed in the small intestine, what does that matter so long as it is completely assimilated by the end of that time, as it is in 90 per slowest, but one of the surest foods that we have to give off all it's energy to the body. Its very slowness is what gives it it's splendid staying powers for tai. As q matter of fact I have seen more cases of dyspepsia cured by the use of breakfast bacon than by any kind of drug or restricted diet. An adult alimentary canal which cannot digest bacon or ham is not to be re garded as healthy, and instead of hu- morng and giving in to weak diges- tion. it should be braced up and. under skilled supervision, educated to take what is given it and make no fuss. Stomachs can be spoiled by giving them too little to do almost as easily as by giving them too much. X healthy stomach fit to cope with the emergen- cies of life must be able to digest not only that which is digestible, but much that is difficult of digestion, and this is the standard which should be aimed at in dietetic rapeutics.-Woods Hutch inson. M. h., in McClure's Magazine.

 With one more searching glance the palmer bowed and went. When the door closed behind him Sir Andrew beckoned Goodwin to him and whis- pered:
 Tomorrow, Goodwin, you must take some men and follow this Nicholas to see where he goes and what he does, for tell you I do not trust him-aye, I fear him much.

Making Bread With Sea Water.

At one time sea water was used ill some English seaside places when mak- ing bread. Even now villages along the coast line of Fpance utilize it. Fresh rain or spring water is only used for the leaven, pure sea water being esc.u- sively employed for the making and mixing of the dough. By this method no mineral or table salt requires to be added. the natura salt water giving the bread the necessary degree of sa- Unity. But, though sea water does ad- mirably for bpeadmaking. when ap piled to other culinary purposes the result is a disagreeable failure T'lh
 wheaten bread produced by it. how
 ever, is excellent and of grAt hygienie value. The chloride of magnesium
 which imparts the acrid taste to sea water. is deeonsposed in the heating and therefore does not convey it's origi- nal disasreeable taste to the bread
 while the common salt. of couSse, per manently retains all it's characteristic saline properties. The mineral sub stances left in the baked bread are con- sidered to be of the nature of very mild regulating medicnes.-London Mail

The owner of the bird demanded 3 marks damages. The cycilst thought 2 ample. The case came before the chief mag istrate, whb gave his judgment as follows: 'The plaintiff declares that if paid marks he will make no claim for the dead goose. The defendant. who is willing to pay ? marks, also makes no claim for the body of the goose. Defendant, hand me 2 marks. and you, plaintiff hand me the goose" When both had obeyed his commands he produced mark out of his pocket and handed all three to the plaintiff. rhe goose he kept for himself and doubtless ate it with the good digestion which comes from the knowledge of having pleased everybody.

Burned at the Stake.

As late as the end of the eighteenth century counterfeiters were publicly burned at the stake in London. On March IS 17S9, Christianie Murphy was executed at Newgate tower, Lon don, for the crime of 'coining." She was bound to the stake seated on q stool, the main tie being cord around the neck The funeral pyre was then lighted by the executioner and his dep uties, one of the latter of whom finally jerked the stool from under the wretch ed creature, allowing the weight to fall on her neck. Within forty-eight min utes the body was entirely reduced to ashes and buried in a hole on the spot where the execution took place.

The Unit of Heat.

We cannot, of course, measure heat by yards, pints or pounds, but the unit of heat, the standard measure of that phenomenon, has been agreed upon by those whose business it is to philoso- .phize on that subject to be that quan- ttty which can raise q pound of water one degree. Now. to turn a pound of water into a pound of steam it requires 967 of these units of heat--that is to say, if we boil pound of water until 1t all goes away in steam we shall have used in doing so a quantity of heat which would have raised 967 pounds of water one degree higher in tempera- ture.

 When everything was finished Sir Andrew said:
 Listen. now. Rosamund. and you you the true tale of how the sister of Saladin, who was known as Zol,eide. daughter of lyoub and afterward christened into our faith by the name of Mary, came to be my wife. yet you should learn it if only to show how evil returns upon man. After the great Nur:ed-din took Damascus. Ayoub was made its governor; then some three and twenty years ago came the capture of Harenc, in which my brother fell. Here was wounded and taken prisoi- CT. They bore me to Damascus. where I was lodged in the palace of. Ayoub and kindly treated. Here. too, it was, while I lay sick, that I made friends with the young Saladin and with his sister Zoheide, whom met secretly in the gardens of the palace. The rest may be guessed. Although she num- bered but half my years, she loved me as loved her and for my sake offered to change her faith and fly with me to England if opportunity could be found. which was hard.
 s'Now. as it chanced, had a friend. a dark and secret man named .Jebal. the young sheik of terrible people. whose cruel rites no Christian under stands. They are the subjects of one Mohammed. in Persia. and live in castles at Masyaf on Lebanon. This man had

 By way of answer Sir Andrew bade him lift the silk that hid the contents of the coffer and sec what lay there. Nulf did so.s and next moment threw back his head like n man whom some sudden light had blinded. as well he might. for from it came such flare of gems as Essex had rarely seen before
 One by one they drew it's treasures from the chest-cOronet. necklace of pearls. breast ornaments of rubies. gir- dle of sapphires. jeweled anklets and with them veil sandals. robes and oth- CT garments of gold embroidered pur- pie silk Moreover. among these. also sealed with the seals of Salah- ed din. his viziers, officers of state and secre- taries. was th.,t pateDt of which the letter spoke, setting out the full title, of t.p Princess of Raalbec: the extent and bo,:nsi;lries of her great estates and the amount of her annual revenue. which seemed more money than they had ev"r heard of
 Sir Andrew looked up and said: "Giri. do you know what Saladin has made of you: WEy. there are queens in Eu- rone who would be glad to own that ralin and those estates i'll the rich lands above Damascus. Say. will you go and queen it there!
 Ros;m,liI g;lZeu at the glealning gems and the writings that made her royal, and her eyes flashed and her breast heaved. Thrice she looked while they watched her. then turned her head as from the bait of some great tempta- tion and a1iswered one word only Nay"
