down at the southern training quarters Of
the Buffalo club. Badel q step In advance,
but Kissinger keeping his hand on the pro-
lection and not allowing the good thing to
get away. To cut long story short. the

progress of a game and used to wait for
Badel to come in from the field before
leaving the box at the close of an inning.

have stopped had he tried. Finally Badel
got desperate and took the hurdles. Pre-
sumably humpstrokers don't abound in the
former outlaw circuit. At any rate. such

Get Busy at Something Useful.
In Wyoming not more than
seventy two children, between the
ages of ten and fourteen, are illit-

tends that this is due directly to
the efforts of the women voters,
who long since worked out the
plan, by which travelling teachers
are sent to remote portions OF the
state to gather the children of the
ranches into schools. The timer
ant system affords every child an
opportunity to get common
school education.
