PORTSMOUTH, VA, September A.
In two close and brilliantly fought
games here this afternoon the fast
Danville team won twice from the
Truckers by brilliant pitching and
timely hitting. Layinder was pitted
against Duke Carter in the first game.
and the ex-Colt pitched great game,
holding the visitors to six well-scat-
tered hits. Three errors by the locals
enabled Danville to score twice, how
ever while Lavinder was almost abso-
lutely unhittable. The star pitcher Of
the Worms held the locals to single
hit in the nine innings, and was given
brilliant support throughout The

Beckham ordered a company of

This outlawry has been going
on in the tobacco district of this
state for many months, and
it has assumed a most fearful and

strongest effort should be made
by the State to suppress it, and
that will not likely occur until a
large number of the leaders have
been caught and put in stripes.
This is a free country, and no

The Trusts Laugh.

The beef trust is still doing bust
ness at the old stand in Chicago, with
r~amifications in every state, although
the administration prosecuted the
trust and claimed to have exterminat-
ed it. But the trust still plumbers the
farmers by controlling the market for
cattle, hogs and sheep at the principal
stockyards of the country and pill
lagos the public by setting the price
at which all the packers products are
sold. What troubles the meat con
sumers is that beef, pork and mutton
are still being sold at high prices, so
that evidently fining a trust and Sc
curing injunctions against 1t, to pre-
vent the members from combining in
restraint of trade are useless as far
as the people are concerned. The
Roosevelt administration has taken
great credit to itself as the great
American trust buster, but conditions
show that until more rigorous efforts
are made the price of trust products
will continue to advance. Filming a
trust magnate who is making millions
a few thousand dollars, is a farce and
until We see a monopolist in Jail, as
the criminal section of the antitrust
law provides, there will be ne relief
from their exactions.

never in all his life struck a blow for

TRY. Try. Try Again.

Our troubles with Santo Domingo
are by no means ended, for it is nov
developed that the congress of that
island has added a report" to the
treaty before ratifying it that accord
ing to the state department officials,
makes it "a h~odgepodge and a bungle
Of the worst possible sort The fact
is the Dominican congress qualified
its ratification by an explanatory re-
port which was adopted by the con-
gress, because it was believed to be
necessary ITO add to the text in order
to avoid all ambiguity" One Of the
Democratic objections to the treaty
was that 1t might be construed to
mean more than was plainly declared
and there is a probability that the
Roosevelt administration will have to
follow the words Of the old song:
If you don't at once succeed, try, try,

DR.. Champlin, some years ago a
practicing physician in Towanda, who
is now located in Bloomsbury, was the
other day surprised by receiving a let,
ter accompanying several f%ive-dollai
bills from a man in New York state
The letter explained that the money
was in payment Of a debt for medical
attendance given by DR.. Champlin 16
years ago, when the physician and
writer both lived in Towanda. The
sender Of the money explained that
recently he had become converted to
religion, and that he had also amaased
considerable fortune and was now able
to pay off all his old debts, and that
his conscience compelled him to dc
this.--Philadelphia Record.

hope you'll come and get them your
self" said Abby, eagerly. Aunt Sc
liny had said that she never would
set foot in the old house again.
She walked into her W house and
shut the door. But as Abby turned
away it vas opened again.
Maybe I'll come up" said a trem-
bling voice.
1t was on a Saturday, and less than
a week afterward, that she came.
Abby let her in, and she walked, with
out a word, directly up the old, famil-
lar attic stairs.

said, quaveringly, to Abby. There's
something that | want to think out
alone-amongst the old things"
When she came down, two hours
after, she said that she had gathered
her things together, and would send
for them.
"You-you may come and see me if
you're a mind to-" she said, and sud-
denly drew Abby towards her and
kissed her.
There's a queer story %af1oat," said
Abby, at the supper table, a week
after. "It came from Mirandy Slo-
comb, up at Carmel. 1t seems that
she found a will of grandfather's
among her husbands papers, and it be-
queathed to Aunt Seliny her share of
his property. 1t was dated just before
his death"
An ironical smile flickered about
her fathers mouth. Guess we should
have been apt to hear of it from Sc
liny," he said.
Abby went thoughtfully up into the
attic, where Aunt Seliny had Thought
things out" There were tiny bits of
paper scattered in a corner, as if a
letter had been torn up. Abby gath

Ruskin on Manual Labor.

We are always In these days endeav-
oring to separate intellect and manual
labor; we want one man to be always
thinking and another to be always
working, and we call n a gentleman.
and the other an operative; whereas
the workman ought often to be think
ing, and the thinker often to be work
ing, and both should be gentlemen In
the best sense. AS 1t is, we make
both ~ungentle, but one e~nvying, the
other despising his brother; and the
mass Of society is made UP Of morbid
thinkers and miserable workers!
