SPUDS GET DOWN
TO REAL WORK
Mccormick Has Them Gal
Looping from Spring to
Spring at West Baden.

west Baden, Ind. March 4.-The first
bit Of actual training was taken bv the
cubs ball team yesterday morning when
Trainer Jack Mccormick appeared a
little before 10 o'clock with sweater
cap ana walking shoes and demanded
that the boys leave the easy chairs and
sunday papers and follow him. A few
OF them put on sweaters and" baseball
SHOES, but most of them simply went
for the walk
Chick" Frazer was the one to stay
with big Mccormick to the last and
after an hour at the athletic field, the
two came in perspiring like July hay
makers. Chick" is eager to get in per-
feet condition for the season, and then
declares he will pitch some ball again
He is at present good ten pounds
overweight, but a few days of jogging
on the track viii put him right again.
William Sweeney, the shortstop from
Portland, is also a likely looking boy
and already wears the clothes and
jewelry of a big Lacquer. Milford Os-
born, the outfeIder from Springfield.
o., wears college clothes without the
cigarettes and walks like a half back
They say he can clip off a hundred
close to ten seconds.
This morning at o'clock Mccormick
hustled all of the boys to the faucet
with the hot pluto and made them
drink two cups of the green colored
| fluid. Then a brisk walk and break
fast was prepared them for a regular
workout about 10 o'clock.
OF the youngsters who are working
for a place on the champions none is
creating a better impression on Man
ager Chance than Newton Randall, the
lad who capered in the Denver out
field last season. Randall is a we'll
built fellow and has the carriage of an

Queer Trades For Women.

Census statistics show there are in
the United States seventy-nine WON
en- hostlers. and they are hustlers.
There are also 100 women livery sta
BILE keepers. The last census showed
that, aside from employment in naval
and military service there was only
one Industrial occupation in this coun-
try in which women were not engaged
That was the work of telegraph and
telephone hnemen. Since then, how
ever, it has uanspired that we have at
least one woman telephone lineman
and pole climber, and she Is an expert
Her father was the lineman regularly
employed. He fell i'll Of rheumatism,
and to prevent him from losing his
work his daughter took It up and has
faithfully performed it ever since.
There are numbers Of women black
smiths, plumbers, carpenters, masous,
painters and even undertakers, or per
haps one should say funeral directors.

ANTS As noNEY-MAKERs.
Their Production Very Similar to That
of the Bee.

The ant honey has an aromatic
favor suggestive of bee honey, and is
agreeable to the taste. says H. G. Nc
Cook, in Harper's for June. An
analysis made by a competent chem
ist of the product of the Mexican
species showed nearly pure solution
Of the sugar of fruits, differing from
grape-sugar in not crystallizing. The
Mexicans and Indians have, or had at
the period of these studies, several
uses for the ant honey. They eat it
freely. The late Prof Cope, when in
New Mexico, had a plate of refunds
offered him as a dainty relish. DR..
Loew reported that the Mexicans
press the insects and use the honey at
their meals. They were also said to
prepare from it by fermentation an
alcoholic drink. Another naturalist
learned that the natives apply it to
bruises and swollen limbs. It has
been suggested seriously that these
ants might by culture attain the rank
of bees as honey producers. The diff
flculty Of farming the colonies, and
the limited quantity Of the product,
would prevent a profitable industry.
The average amount of honey in a
single rotund was by weight about 40
(0.3942) grams, a little over eight
times (S.2) that of the ants body.
But counting the number Of refunds
in a nest at 600-utmost the observa-
ton would justify-the entire product
would be only two-thirds of a pound
troy, collected at the cost Of all the
honey-bearers' lives. Such results dis
bar those insects from the field o
human industry.

THE PASSING OF CHAMPIONS.

A baseball sharp figured that the
average career of a good baseball play

this is net bad argument. BaIIplayers
go quickly as a rule. once they strike
the down grade. Men who were ia

most forgotten. The stars of today
will soon fade. Take the Pittsburg

She never repeated any gossip one

she never would even listen to SUCH
gossip. If a woman began it, this
model lodging house keeper made some
excuse and got away quickly. Fur

their rooms furniture and bric-a-brac of
their own If they so desired. She kept
her house immediately clean, the fur

Money In Cats.

There certainly is money in cats-if
they are the right kind Even the
wrong kind, any sort of an old cat, was
worth $25 in the early days of Alaska
mining camps, when the field mice
came down like wolf on the fold up
on -four and bacon stores. But one wo-
man Of original mind gets sometimes
more than $25 a head for eats and does
not have to send them to Alaska either
Fond Of cats, like most women, she hit
upon the project Of rearing blooded
ones and selling them. She made a
specially of Angoras One kitten, a
gift to her, was her stock in trade in
the beginning. 1t was a luck gift.
Both cats and patrons increased rapid

city the Angora cat breeder presently
removed to a farmhouse with ample
grounds about it for her live stock.
She does q thriving business and does
not have to work so very hard.

WOMEN MUST LIVE.
Unusual Occupations, Lofty and Low
~, OF the worlds Feminine Half.


~, OF the worlds Feminine Half.
Tt has been noted by American tour
lists how much cleaner the streets Of
western European continental cities
are than those in our own country.
The secret came out when it was
found that these streets were cleaned
by women. Returned Americans told
how. CHANGING in Paris to arise at day
break some morning, their astonished
vision was greeted by the sight Of
squad OF neat women In white caps
passing through the streets plying
broom and brush till not speck Of
dust or a bit of paper an inch square
was left in a thoroughfare. The sight
was shocking to the American sense Of
fitness some years ago, but 1t has
grown accustomed to the female street
cleaner since then. The women street
sweepers Of Munich are especially not
ed for the excellence Of their work.
Much Of the heavy and, to our ideas,
unfeminine labor performed by women
in Germany and Austria IS done be-
cause the men Of every family have to
be away in the military service. In
Munich every woman street cleaner
carries a long handled shovel and a
brush. Some OF them wheel barrows,
into which they scoop the sweepings.
Although their occupation is not
clearly one, it is no more laborious
than doing a family washing or scrub
bing Office floors, which we consider
quite the correct things for our women
to work at Street cleaning is not such
severe work as bod carrying, which
one sometimes sees women doing in
European cities. In Germany lately
women who are working for the eman-
cipation of their sex have interested
some Of the officials in this subject Of
the beast of burden lives led by many
women Of the poorer classes. There
are signs Of a change for the better.

WOULD LIKE TO MEET TAFT
Britishers Will Be Disappointed if
the Secretary Fails to
Visit LunnOn.

London, Nov. 10.-If Secretary of
War Taft does not visit England on his
way home from the east, it will be a
keen disappointment to his many ad-
mirers in the British Isles.
When the itinerary of his round-the-
world trip was published in London
shortly after his departure for Japan,
and it was not noticed that he planned
to visit Berlin and st. Petersburg, but
that he was not going to stop in either
Paris or London, steps were taken TO
induce the secretary to come here for
a day or two at least 20 meet some of
the leading public men. In this case,
Mr. Taft would, of course, be received
by King Edward. Washington was adj
vised through the usual official chan
mel that Mr. Taft's visit here would be
agreea BILE, and there is still some hope,
in spite of the fact that the secretary
has written that he is hurrying home
to prepare his report for the opening
of congress, that he will take
steamer from some English port in
stead, of going from Berlin to Cher
bourg. Those who have interested
themselves in the matter have not yet
been advised whether the Washington
administration and Mr.. Taft will give
favorable consideration to this propos-

Plea for Endowment in His
Annual Report.

New York, Nov. 10.-President But

plea for further endowments in his an

Butler says that the amount of gifts
received i'm money during the year
amounted to $4,000, and on the sub
ject of gifts adds:
From the report of the treasurer. II
VIII be seen that for the year ending
June 30, 1907, the deficiency in the cost
or maintaining the educational work OF
the university reached the large sum of
S0s,lO9. This sum is exclusive of the
interest charge of SIS, 049. Naturally
this result is ground for grave concern
1t points once more and with new en-
phasiS TO the undeniable fact that CO.
lumbia university is not sufficiently
endowed TO carry on the work which
has been laid upon it. The cost of in
struction is constantly increasing, and
the number of students grows steadily
larger. As was shown IN detail in he
last annual report. the salaries paid to
the teaching staff are far from what
they should be. Much that is urgently
demanded is either not undertaken az
all or is insufficiently provided for. IT
IS within the mark to say that IN adj
ditional free income of 500, 900 a year
is an absolute necessity if the univer
slty is not to restrict it's educational
opportunities. No effort must be spared
