the unevenly burned tobacco--the total
mixture being something to weep and
cough over. The same thing Is mo-
ticed in the corncob pipe, Fig. 8, when
the reed stem is run into the bowl only
to its inner edge Now push the reed
little farther in, and you have good
pipe, as In Fig. 4. Besides forming the
cake common to all pipes, the corn
cob is light in weight, hence is easily
held between the teeth; moreover, be-
ing of cellular structure and full Of
dead air, the corncob retains the heat
in the bowl, causing an even burning,
whereas many other pipe substances.

"All fancy types Of pipes are apt to
be no good whatever. The plain bowl

All contrivances to catch or to abb

of this is that the liquid wastes from
a pipe are mostly tar, and, If held in

over the draft of his fire-boxes. and
never once in half life time think OF
the draft in his pipe that ne smoked
hourly" Yet, according to the writer
the question of good or poor pipe
is bound up in that single word
draft" He goes on to say:
"A pipe made on the right principles
Is shown in section In Fig. 1. Inc
howl is as narrow and deep as Is con-
venient: the hole In the stem meets
the bowl at the very bottom and IN
the center, thus insuring perfect

even burning of the tobacco. Inc
cake prevents the fire from burning
the bowl, and thus prevents making

in proportion spoil the draft. the

Indians are not always the grave

20 Mr.. Leupp, the commissioner OF
Indian affairs. they are the original
American humorists. He once gave
some OF them lecture on their duties

needed time to eat, be with his family
and to rest. An aged Indian of great
dignity rose to explain that the last
AGENT for the tribe never did anything

traveller that it was not necessary &c

CLERK TEAMS
MEET MAY 80

Now that the dopesters have finish
ed their spells regarding the booster
games between the Lewiston and
Charleston Commercial clubs, interest
IN the game to be played between the
clerks of the Kjos and Bee Hive stores
on May 80 is attracting the attention
of fans in the city.
Captains George Lapointe and JIM
me Burrell of the teams are wing
with each other in selecting the best
OF material from that on hand. From
the record made as a pitcher in the
recent game with the Charleston Com
mercfal club, Joe Kincaid, manager of
the Bee Hive store, promises to sur
prise the fans at the game. He threw
an errorless game and scratched up a
score of strikeouts while throwing the
game, with Herman Siegrist catching
him.
Jimmie Burrell, captain of the Kios
crowd, will pitch the game for that
team. He is authority for the state
ment that his team will WALTON the
honeycombed Bee Hive crowd. and his
bets are placed in accord with his
statements

DIAMOND
BOXING
SAYS LAJOIE
WILL LEAVE

From Cleveland comes the story
that if Manager Napoleon Lajoie does
not make good this season and give
Cleveland a pennant, no excuse will
avail, and the winter of 1907-S will
see some of the biggest deals in base
ball histody made. One of them, it is
said will be the departure of Lajoie
from Cleveland as manager and
player.
A mere finish in the first division
will no longer satisfy the Cleveland
clubowners or fans. Second place,
even, will be considered fiat failure.
Lajoie, they claim, has the greatest
catchers, the greatest pitchers, the
greatest infield and at least one of the
greatest outfielders in the world. For
him to lead such men to anything bat
victory would be a repetition of last
season and the year before.
One of the signs pointing to this
belief is the fact that Vice President
Charles Somers of the Cleveland club
has SO arranged his business affairs
as to enable him to be with his club
practically the season. II the team
meets with success, Somers wants to
be able to rejoice on the spot, and II
it does not, he will be in a position to
know why.

THEAIERS RACING
SOME BASE
BALL RULES

The first thing for a ballplayer to &C.
ouire is a nickname. A ballplayer
never becomes famous as William or
Henry. Get to be "Mugsy" or "Tripe"
and your success is assured.
Remember umpires are your only
friends and are meant to be abused.
The jumps must be able to take the
blame every time you are called out,
and every good base runner makes the
umpire shoulder the blame for raw
work on the bags.
Your job is never cinched. The only
way to get in right with the manager
is to catch him numbering some one
some dark night. Then when he at
tempts to send you to- the bush,
threaten to tell on him.
To be success. you MUST stand in
with the home fans. To do this you
must make home run every time you
come to bat.
Never knock the ball so the fielder
can catch 1t. This rule must never
be broken.
If ball comes toward you, do not
faint, catch 1t. Another unbreakable
rule.
Learn to be an inside" player. No
one knows what that is, but be one
anyway.
When you are on the coaching line,
always encourage the batter. II the
manager is at bat, make play by
calling to the score boy to chalk up
"another run"-although the runs are
hung up, not chalked up--or else mo-
ton to the fielders to play way back
to the fences 49, =
Whenever you muff ball, swear at
the scorers and tell them it was too
hot to handle.
Never run away when any one be-
gins to throw pop bottles at you. Pick
them up. You can sell them for 8
cents apiece.
When q star photographer wants
to take your picture, look shy and let
him coax you. Don't overdo it.,
though. 1t Is nice to have your pic
ture in the paper you send home to
the folks. 1t proves you are not in
Jail.
