latter In a tie with Sutton, which
Schaefer also lost. The close players
Of the tournament were Schaefer,
Sutton, Cutler and Morningstar. When
it comes to stroke and touch and
dainty position nursing, Schaefer Is
without a peer. He lands on the cue
ball with a gauzelike contact. calcu-
lating the distance to the ininitesi-
NAL part Of an inch. He has a wrist
stroke the nearest to perfection of
any billiardist, living or dead. He is
a fast, daring player, the best masse
player in the worlo, the most attrac-
tive figure at the table. He is orig
inal. resourceful, a billiard genius.
Billiards never had but one wizard"
Slosson is the opposite of his lifelong
rival. The speed of Schaefer is abb
sent from the play of Slosson. What
one does by intuition the other thinks
about. Slosson shoots with a stiff
forearm and a rigid wrist He does
not care much for close counting, but
gets the points all over the table.
He is deliberate. painstaking, method
ical But he always is playing with
his head, and is fine general. He is
very proficient at wide playing and
cushion caroms. Louis Cure, the
Partisan, who finished fifth is a giant,
a man of herculean frame, but who
handles a cue with delicacy and grace.
He weighs close to $50 pounds; he and
Sutton were the heavy weights of the
crowd. He stands up straight at the
table, keeps his cue going at lively
rate and has a pleasing stroke. There
is a bit of wrist motion and the butt
of the cue is held lightly between the
thumb and forefinger. There is great
power in the Frenchman's stroke,
when occasion requires. He can nurse
skillfully when the balls are In posi-
ton for close work. but does not care
whether the globes are close or scat
tered. Sutton, who finished second,
fancies the nursing game and Is won
derfully adept in keeping the balls
huddled. together He is a careful
cueist. constantly keeping in mind the
danger of getting tied up. He is a
better ball-to-ball than cushion play
er, but can play good open-table
game. His stroke is free and firm.
He is neither as old as Schaefer and
Slosson nor as young as Morningstar.

ON such team the individual work
of each player, his consistency and his
helpfulness to his teammates has
been considered. The selections have
not been hard to make, as the five
making up the team clearly outclassed
any other players in the west.
The first choice for forward would
be the pick of every follower of the
came in the west--McKeag, of Chi
cago. In the eight games OF the cham
pionship series McKeag scored 81 Das-
kets. the largest number made by any
nlaver in the league He is fast,
shifrv player, and for all-round clever
ness did not have any equal in the
west. In selecting the other forward
the choice would have been between
McRae, of Minnesota, and Rogers, OF
Wisconsin. Rogers has the best rec
ord on paper, having made 20 bas-
kets in the league series to three by
his opponents. McRae made 10 to his
opponents five Rogers also had the
distinction of making the largest in
one game, getting ten in the Wiscon-
sin-Illinois game McRae is much fast
er on his feet, a more clever passer,
and is a more generally useful man
to his team His greater experience
must be taken into account, and so he
would be my first choice for forward.
For centers on the all-star aggrega-
ton there are only two men in the
west to be considered. They are
Schommer, of Chicago, and Bush, Of
Wisconsin. They both succeeded In
outplaying all of their opposing cen
ters, Schommer making p baskets TO
IL by his opponents. and Bush IL 70
six by his opponents during the play
Of the league series. They are so even
that choice is difficult. This would
leave one place to I'LL, and the mosi
brilliant running guard of the west
was Brown, OF Minnesota. He wal

For a time Sir Nigel was very moody

Ford and Terlake rode behind him. The
four rode alone, for the archers had
passed curve in the road, though Al

glimpse of the sparkle of steel through the
tangle of leafless branches.

DEPARTMENT STORE BARGAINS.
ut Is the department stores and
mail order houses" said the demon
strator, which make profit from short
weight cans and understood bottles.
We are seeking to protect the legiti-
mate grocery and the honest Gamer
from men who are willing TO make
money by depriving the people of
things they think they are getting.
All that we urge is that an approx
innate weight or measure may be nut
upon each one of these packages and
then, If the public chooses to buy
a smaller package at smaller price
1t may do so, but the manufacturers
and dealers must not any longer de-
ceive the people as to how much they
are buying"
BREAKFAST FOODS A DELUSION.
On the tables where Mr.. Mann, ably
but silently assisted by Mr.. Stevens
OF Minnesota, acted now as grocery
man, now as druggist, and now as
bartender, there were a dozen or more
packages Of breakfast foods with their
familiar labels. A reference to table
weights and skillful dropping of pack
ages upon a balance scale in front of
him enabled Mr. Mann to show that
in great many cases the public paid
full price for an abnormal amount of
pasteboard box. In scarce any case
did the prepared food weigh twice as
much as the box, and in many in
stances food and package were In near
ly equal proportion.
Everybody knew, as Mr.. Mann
stated, that 25 per cent. Of all the
coffee used in the United States is sold
as a mixture of Java and Mocha. He
was prepared to show from official
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-08-03

figures that while we used last year
more that billion pounds of coffee,
and while about 250,00O,OOO pounds
were supposed to be Mocha and Java.
there were actually imported into this
country last year only a fraction over
100000 pounds of Mocha and 10000
600 pounds of Java, or approximately
less than 100000 pounds, or only &
per cent. of the popular blend. 1t is
staggering to know IS per cent. of the
people who think they drink Mocha
and Java every day have been de-
ceived, and yet the facts seem to be
rather plain.
Figures like these, however al
though ordinarily impressive and con
vincing, did not attract so much at
tention in the House, because the
members were so absorbed in the prac-
teal demonstration of the extent to
which fraudulent manufacturers of
food products have been willing to
go in the way of swindllng the public.

Not long ago the Countess addressed
a tremendous crowd of workmen. Her

hundreds of workmen went without
their dinners in order to hear her
speech. She was given a great ova-
