Flirting.

Flirting Is n system of signals de-
signed to take place between two per-
sons in order to conceal from each 9th
or their preferences.
Flirting is not always successful. 1t
frequently ends in marriage.
Flirting is undoubtedly an art, and
yet there seems to be no hard and fast
rule to govern it. AS game the only
rule it has is that each shall cheat the
other as much as possible. 1t is gam
BILE and yet one in which the proba-
bilities are that both players will lose.
While extremely social i'm its nature, it
does not seem 10 follow the laws that
control society. There is organized
labor. but no organized flirting, except
at seaside resorts.
Flirting is not restricted to beautiful
women and handsome men, but is free
for all. A real homely girl, with an
acute attack of brains, is often more
successful at it than a human doll.
1t takes two 10 make n flirtation-the
flirtee and the firter. Sometimes two
flirtees get together, and then no flirta-
tion is possible With two firters there
is always something doing, but the
greatest fun is between a flirter and a
flirtee when the former is n woman.
Flirtations are common only to in
habited countries. They usually take
place anywhere from II o'clock at
night to II o'clock the next night.

nOmena of being This creature that
you love is in reality only an illusion,
a subjective projection, and exists only
in terms of empirical consciousness.
After awhile. by reflections Of this
sort, you will rise above such folly"
SO the man went away and began to
reflect upon the transcendental aesthet-

But there was the girl behind him,
with her soft hands i'm his hair. and at

It is thought likely. says the Jour
nal of the Society of Arts, that the
present year may see a considerable
further advance in prices for rubber,
but it may be expected that before
long the supply will be ample fer all

untouched in Liberia and elsewhere,

CHRISTIE TO DRIVE IN
VANDERBILT CUP RACE

NEW YORK, July 7.-Walter Christie has
entered his 115-horse power car for the
American elimination trials for the Wander
bilt cup race, and will drive 1t himself.
1t was entered through the Automobile
Club of America. The entry will attract
attention, as the machine established e.
record for American courses. except the
Ormond-Daytona beach course, when 1t went
mile in thirty-fve seconds on the Atlantic
City sand course a few months ago
Mr.. Christie had a car entered In the
name Of James Breese in the elimination
trials last year, but 1T failed TO qualify
At meeting held shortly after the trials
by the racing board of the American Auto
mobile Association, three of the 1--WE cars
that qualified were thrown out, and the
Christie car was one of those substituted.
AS in the elimination trials. the machine
made poor showing In the big race, and
was finally put out Of commission by run
ming into the car driven by Lanca who
had a lead OF twenty minutes at the time.
The accident prevented the Italian driver
from getting better than fourth place in
the race
Christie is the designer of the car, and
has made several changes on the machine
since last year. At the recent open air
automobile show at Empire City track he
drove the car a mile in fifty-three seconds
equaling the record for a circular track
made by Barney" Oldfeld-

match race over the black gelding, Went
worth Only two heats were trotted, Sweet
Marie winning both heats in the same time,
2:o7A. The winning mare carried away for
her owner a purse of 81, 500 and 60 per cent
of the gate receipts. The spectators were
disappointed when it was announced that
Tiverton had been withdrawn, the bay geld
ing having developed some lameness. The
weather conditions were not favorable
Sweet Marie drew the pole and the horses
got away on the first score. Alta Mcdonald
took Sweet Marie to the front, leading by
a clean length at the quarter. The posi-
lions remained the same to the Iar turn
when Wentworth began to creep up on the
mare Entering the home stretch he caught
up with the mares saddle girth, but at
the long distance flag Sweet Marie opened
up the gap in a few strides and won by
three lengths.
Wentworth moved over the pole at the
turn and led by q length at the quarter,
Sweet Marie trailing behind the gelding
to the five-eighths mark, when she began
to move up, and in the middle OF the turn
the horses were on even terms. Here the
mare lost a length Coming into the stretch
she rapidly wore down the leader and pass

Greatest Base Ball Team That Ever

Greatest Base Ball Team That Ever
Existed Forgotten by Fans of Today.
THE history Of base ball will never be
properly written until there is gathered to-
gether such notables of the old regime as
your Uncle Nick Young. Henry Chadwick,
A. G. Mills and Albert Spalding for they
are among the few that are left who are
familiar with the game when It's history
began" Thus calculated the "Forty-Niner''
as he. with a pleased countenance, watch
ed the batting matinee of Manager Stahl
and associates against the Bostons In that
17-to-3 game of Monday. THAT looks like
real base ball, and that's what the aver
age fan wants to see. hitting, runs and fine
fielding galore, and especially when 1t is on
the local side of the score sheet. There
should be a compendium of the history of
base ball written, for the game has reached
such q position in the estimation of the
tire public that II is virtually a part OF the
country's interests Just as important, In
some respects, as many of our commer-
clai pursuits. The veterans named above
are the best equipped minds :, gather the
data together, get the matter In shape and
70 produce a book that would be d pleasing
addition to every library In the land. To
give you an instance of the lack of knoWl-
edge OF base ball fans. am only to recall
an instance that happened LAST week 1t
was royal thirty-three degree rooter /
was talking to in regard to oid times when
/ referred to the Old Red Stockings once
or twice In the talk. and thea ne broke me
all up by asking what Old Red Stockings
/ referred to. anyway. Now / thought
every one knew who the Old Red Stock
ings were, but since then I have asked a
dozen ball cranks. and they have forgotten
that team Of Cincinnati. which in 1863 and
1870 were the wonders OF The sporting
world. The visit of our own Nationals Into
the then wild and woouy west had opened
up the eyes OF those up-t3-da.o sporty
people and at once steps were takea to To-
cat. good teams In all the citiss Clncin-
natl caught on best and in 1880 sent forth
the famous Red Stockings, as they were
called. from the fact that their uniform
consisted OF white shirts and knee trousers
with bright red stockings the first time
such uniform was worn by base ball
team. and which at once reyolutionized the
uniforms OF all the clubs In the country.
It was. perhaps" said Old Forty-NIner.
the greatest aggregation of base bail ever
gathered together. as the Willy magnates OF
Cincinnati had quietly and secretly oorraIl-
ed the players without letting the outside
world know anything In relation thereto.
They secured the wonderful Dug Allison
the frst catcher to go up under the bat and
TO catch on foul tips, ETC., and whose work
there. without glove. mask or protector, has
