TO HAVE SUNDAY BALL.
Newton Fans Have More Influence
With Council Than Ministers.

Newton, Kan, June 19.-The agita-
ton over Sunday baseball in Newton
came to crisis at the last meeting
of the city council The city ministers
attended the meeting and the baseball
fans were also present in large num-
bers. An ordinance prohibiting Sunday
ball playing was presented by the min
listers, along with number of petitions
for it's adoption by the council The
ministers made long talks and so did
the councilmen. A vote was finally taI/
ken, two being for the ordinance aAd
six against it. The ordinance was de-
clared lost and Sunday baseball will
proceed without interruption.

AMERICAN SLANG IN ROME.
Youngsters Expression Touched the
Hearts of Wanderers.

The universal spread OF American
slang Is amazing and the globe trot-
ter meets with IL In the most unex'
pected places. Last October two
Americans wandering about the Plaza
dEspagna in Rome we're accosted by
one OF the numerous small boys who
sell postal card pictures Of the Holy
city. He held out a sheaf OF postal
cards and offered them for sale, stat
ing the price in Italian. The Amer
leans did not care to buy, and, like
his guild the continent over, he fol-
lowed them and became bit of q
nuisance. But he was such a merry
eyed little chap they had not the heart
to speak harshly to him. At last, how
ever, they felt obliged to say mo"
decidedly. 1t was then that he sur.
prised them and gave them a queer
little pull at their American heart
strings, by saying, his black eyes
swapping with fun aud the magnitude
of the achievement: "Skeedoo! Skee-
doc! Twanta.thr,r.r-ree! Then he
vanished with burst of laughter.

Medical Civil Service.

Medicine has as its object the treat
ment of disease and the relief of sui.
fering irrespective of the social stat
us or financial position or the patient,
says the London Hospital. Existing
conditions of practice make well-nigh
impossible the attainment of this OBJ
ject, and II Is desirable alike in the In
terests OF the public and of the rank
and file of the profession that some
more satisfactory organization OF the
conditions of practice should be
found. Nothing short OF a civil serv-
ice will meet the requirements OF the
situation. There is a growing feel
ing, il we mistake not, inside as we'll
as outside the profession, In favor or
this solution of the problem, and there
is no question that this feeling will
continue to grow as there is more full
appreciation of the truth that. apart
from humanitarian considerations, the
economic advantages are vastly In its
favor.

Dress Decorations.

Imagine a delicate pink ground
shading to a pink just a shade deeper
behind the graceful sprays of apple
blossoms which are scattered over the
surface, their pink petals melting into
the pink background and their family
green leaves giving just the needed
touch of relieving color in the har-
mony of pink and white. A blue and
white spider cloth has wide stripu
of shaded blue, light even in its deep,
est tone, alternating with wide stripe
OF white, and over all are thrown clus,
ters of little white daisies. 1t is in
the exquisite drawing of the floral de-
signs and in the way in which they APP
pear to melt into the background OF
standing out clearcut and distinct
that half the effectiveness of these
now silk and cotton materials lies.

FACTS ABOUT BOOK OF JOB.
Great Epic Probably Not the Work Of
One Man.

The creation of the tribal epic was
TO some extent regarded as a tribal
work, like the building of the tribal
temple. Believe, then, II you will.
that the prologue OF Job and the ep-
ilogue and the speech Of Elihu are
things inserted after the original
work was composed But do not sup
pose that such insertions have that
obvious and spurious character which
would belong to any insertions in a
modern indiyidualistic book. DO not
regard the insertions hs you would re,
gard chapter in George Meredith
whicn you afterwards found had not
been written by George Meredith, or
half a scene In lbsen which you found
had been cunningly sneaked in by Mr.,
William Archer. Remember that this
old world, which made these old
poems like the Had aud Job, always
kept the tradition Of what 1t was
making. A man could almost leave
a poem to his son to be finished as he
would have finished it, just as man
could leave a field to his son to be
reaped as he would have reaped IT,
What is called Homeric unity may be
a fact or not. The Had may have
been written by one man. 1t may
have been written by hundred men.
But let US remember that there was
more unity in those times in a hun.
dred men than there is unity now In
one man. Then city was like one
