BAIRD P%osTPoNED TRIP.
Michigan Manager Touched Before
Taking a Train to Philadelphia.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. THE pro
f~essional dip" men seem to think that
Ann Arbor is easy money during the
big games. The latest victim of the
piekpocket is none other than Manager
Charles Baird. He was going to take
the IL p. m. train to Philadelphia in
order to perfect arrangements for the
big game. He had about 500 with him.
and as he opened his wallet to pay for
an interchangeable mileage book the
thieves evidently caught sight of the
roll. Mr.. Baird put the mileage and
his ticket for a berth with his money
in the pocketbook and then started to
go on the train, when two men came
running up, ard tanning up against
him, one On each side. said:
This is our COACH" and one pushed
Mr.. Baird aside over toward the other,
and, while he was looking around for
the cause of the unusual hurry the first
man mad his dip.

strangers. and he ran BACK to the depot.
The other fellow made a.quiet getaway
and Mr. Baird did not realize his loss
until he got into the car. Then when
he found that he was broke and with
out mileage he got of b train and de-
cided to postpone his trip until today.
He left for Philadelphia IN the after

Fight Between Fish and Hartman
VIII Be Carried Into n. US 400.
New York, Nov. 5.-The fight which
Stuyvesant Fish is making against Ed
ward H. Hartman and Wall street for
control of the Illinois Central road has
become a social issue as well as a
financial and railroad issue. The bat
tie has been taken up in the most ex-
elusive social circles of the metrop-
oils. and bids fair to disrupt New
York's 400 or change that list OF
illustrious social lights. It became
known in New York several days ago
that Mrs. S-tuyvesant Fish had taken
up the gage of battle in aid of her hus-
band, and when Mrs. Fish begins doing
things h leads a somewhat siren
uous existence.
In this fight, It is stated. Mrs. Fish.
who has been accredited with being
the arbiter Of the 400. is as determined
to win as her husband, and If she fails
society is likely to get a few unpleas-
ant jars before she gets through. The
stake for which Mrs. Fish and her
friends are playing Is the supnort ~
Aston, both scions Of society. both
within the pale of influence OF Wal
street and both Illinois Central d.
rectors.
None Of those who are vitality inter-
ested in the outcome Of the Illinois
Central fight, however, will admit thai
they are banking any hopes upon the
! efforts which Mrs. Fish is known to be
making. John Jacob Astor's entry into
the Illinois Central directory was due
directly to S%tuyvesant Fish. His 7nan-
cial interests are not exceedingly large.
and 1t is said Mrs. Fish. prompted by
Mrs. Aston. had something to do with
Astor's position in Illinois Central af-
fairs. He is now abroad.
May Appeal to Roosevelt.
Predictions were made todavb by men
on the inside of the Illinois Central
fight that Hartman would win, and
that there would be within six months
a terrific Wall street raid, with MI
nois Central stock as the issue. II
was also minated that Mr.. Fish. Ia
retaliation, would lay before President
Roosevelt many damaging facts re-
garding transactions by Hartman that
would involve the government IN the
battle.

VASE THAT Is WORTH $4,000
II 10 the Portland Vase and Now In
British Museum.

Another family treasure of great
value which has since passed into the
keeping Of the nation is the Portland
vase, now exhibited in the British mu.
scum, says the Westminster Gazette
This vase comes from Italy, and what
its age is no man knows, though it has
been proved that in 235 A. d. it was
deposited in sepulcher under the
Monte del Grano, three miles from
Rome, and is believed to have con.
tanned the ashes of the Emperor Sew
erus. But, whether or no, Pope Urban
VIII. had it dug up; and for more than
two centuries it reposed in the Bar
berini palace at Rome. In 1856 the
duke of Portland purchased it from Sir
William Hamilton for Loo guineas
and deposited it in the British muse
UNI fifteen years later. In 1916 man
named Lloyd, employed at the mu-
scum, picked up stone and hurled 1t,
in fit of frenzy, at the case which
contained the precious relic. The vase
was smashed into hundreds of pieces,
but with great ingenuity they were all
put together again, and as it now
stands is said to be worth at the very
least G15,000 pounds.

Raincoat for a Bear.

There Is one big brown bear in town
that gets coddled beyond belief, says
the New York Press. He belongs to a
Sixth avenue furrier. He is not a
live bear. Even the memory of the
oldest passenger on the elevated road
goeth not back to the time of that
bears demise; yet, in spite of his long
period as dead one" he is the sleek
est, best-groomed bear in New York.
That Is because the furrier takes such
good care of him.
Storms are never allowed to beat
upon his glossy coat. He cannot be
humored to the extent of being brought
indoors during downpour because it
is his business to stand on a pedestal
outside and drum up trade, but the
next best thing is done for him. He Is
provided with raincoat. 1t covers
him from snout to tail, SO no matter
how hard the rain may beat or the
wind may blow he is insured from
damage thereby.

Vitality.

Keep up your vitality and you will
never know disease of any kind. No
disease can exist where there is All
abundance Of pure blood. To get the
necessary amount, eat nutritious food;
to circulate it perfectly, take proper
exercise; to purify it, get fresh air and
sunshine. If perfectly healthy con-
dition of the skin exists and an even
temperature of the surface of the body
is maintained, it is impossible to catch
cold. Cold water baths taken every
day will do much towards producing
the former; proper food and exercise
the latter.-London Tit-Bits.
