medicines. We Just pull out the corks,
insert wicks beneath mantle burners
and they burn bright. This is one
of the plainest experiments we know

TOM HUGHES IN FAST COMPANY
Former Topeka Pitcher Making Debut
With New York Americans.

Long Tom Hughes, the star of the
White Sox pitching sEaf of last year,
made his debut in the American League
Monday afternoon. He pitched portion
of the game for the New York Ameri-
cans at Detroit. Chesbro of the spit
BAH fame opened the game but Detroit
had their batting clothes on and drove
the famous slabman to the bench in the
seventh inning, making six runs off him.
Tom Hughes went in in the eighth and
allowed two hits but the Detroiters
could not score on him. This is consid-
cred a good showing for the youngster
to make considering the fact that De-
troit was batting hard and had scored
at liberty on Chesbro. He did not get
to pitch in the ninth inning as Detroit
had the game won and did not bat
Hughes has pitched all year al Allan
ia. Georgia, in the Southern League and
was considered the leading pitcher in
that league which is as fast as any
minor league organization. He was sold
to Clark Griffith of the New York
Americans last fall but was loaned to
Atlanta for the season.
Hughes many Topeka friends will be
glad to hear of his successful debut in
the American League

given beer by some one in a shop in
Fiverview. The Irwin girl fell on the
street and was picked up by two young
men and carried home. The other girl
was able to take the car for home.
Mrs Agnes McLane, the mother of
Title Irwin, brought her daughter to
the court house this morning and made
complaint. She has the name of the
man who gave the beer to the children
but no arrests have yet been made.
Mrs McLane said that she sent TIL
lie to a butcher shop in Riverview to
buy meat for breakfast. On her way
for the meat she stopped in a bicycle
shop and borrowed a bicycle and rode
mother who was then ready to 90 to
the theater sent the little girl back for
the meat and left the house.
About 8 O'Clock Jesse Kimmeli and
Oscar Tenthorn. two young men who
were friends of the family, brought
Tillie home They met her on Fifth

recognized her and took her home. At
ter reaching home the child vomited and
lost consciousness. Her body was
bruised in several places from falling

who knew about dry goods, but
worked in a millinery store or a stock
Of tinware, got it in the neck. He
would either get stuck on the head

that would not hold water.
So q resolution was passed to the
effect that hereafter no temptation
could be great enough to get our show
to 20 into anything outside Of the
business, no matter how good it looked
as a get-rich-quick affair. So we gath.
cred up our show and played a whole
week in Oklahoma, and had full
houses ell the time, and made money
enough to redeem our animals that had
been attached by creditors. We have
paid up our debts, and we got out Of
Oklahoma with flying colors.
II we had gone right on to Kansas
we would have shown sense, but some
cowboys from the Indian Territory
told pa and the other managers that
II we would take the show to the In

money to burn, and they hadn't seen

Well, 1t seemed a shame to go by
the Indian Territory. and allow those
poor Indians to break their backs al
rying money around, and so we sent a
carload OF bill pastors into the territory
and billed towns that would hold us
about a week, and we figured that we
would clean up enough money to last
us all a lifetime. l wish l didn't have
to write about the result. cause we are
broke up SO we can't look pleasant to
have our pictures taken.
1t was a bright, beautiful Sunday
morning that we arrived at Muskoka,
and soon after daylight we had our
tents pitched. AS we had all day Sun
day to rest, pa suggested that It would
be a good idea to take all our animals
dat eat grass ont on the grazing
ground on the edge of the town and
let them fill up ON the nice blue grass
that vas knee-high ill over the coun-
try. 30 after breakfast we detailed
men to take charge Of the different
animals. and herd them out In the tall

Of the creek, so the boss canvassman
went over to where there were about
500 cowboys and Indians on horse
back, and asked them to ride into the
creek and drive the elephants out

the prairie.
Gee, but that was the greatest mis-.
