table feeling hungry. In other words,
most Of US eat too much. So long as
food Is plain and nourishes It doesn't
so much matter what It Is so long
as we don't gorge ourselves with It. A

not good for him to stuff himself with
both. For the sedsntary man a light
luncheon and the meat meal at night
is advisable. The main thing is TO
eat too little rather than too much,
and TO masticate the food thoroughly,
which one may do without becoming
a disciple Of Fletcherlsm. Thomas

THE SOUVENIR HUNTER!

"The American souvenir hunter will

The souvenir hunter fares him out
To the groanlng banquet board,
And a coffee pot, with a silver spout,
He adds to his mighty hoard;
Some bananas, a plate OF macaroons
For the kids he slows away;
And, just for good measure, six silver
spoons
lie takes as ae sings this lay:
Hunting the spark, hunting the shark
Hunting the lion or deer
Is nary a fraction or decimal mark
To hunting the souvenir,
Where'er he goes, he deity lifts
A much prize object or two;

But be hopes 1t won't trouble you;
He never steals-oh, fe! Nay, nay.

below Abbott and played in seventeen
games. AS a pitcher he ranked fifth
with a percentage of $50, which was
really second as three of the men ahead
of him played in but a few games.
The official averages of Red Davis
would not be worth more than passing
notice had 1t not been for the fact that
they were claimed to have been padded
by the official score keeper. Davis is
credited with thirteen errors in the
outf1eld. Only six other outielders had
more errors than Davis. Davis finished
twenty-sixth out Of 6fty-three outf1eld-
ers with a percentage of -955, which is
but fair percentage. Hurlburt, who
it was claimed, was one OF the best out
fielders, had a percentage of but .942.
The averages of the different Topeka
players are as follows: Halla, outf1eld,
1000; Boles. outfield. 1856; Wooley. out

Hurlburt, outfield, 942; Abbott. outfield.

Forester .946; Jones, 1884; Arnold, 1902.
Seabaugh of Springfield was the lead
er of the catchers with percentage of
$751; but the real honors go to Weaver
of Wichita who played in nearly five
times as many games and finished but
one point lower Welter of Springfield
has the best average at third with 1858,
but Pendry of Oklahoma City who is
third in the list is the real leader with
a percentage of .939. Burns of Webb
City leads the pitchers with a perfect
record Halla is virtually second.
A correction which has been made
in the batting averages gives Henry of
Topeka and Oklahoma City 65 stolen
bases instead of 20 as was at first re-
ported This places Henry in the lead
in stolen bases, which Is more as it
should be.

ADJUSTMENTS

There is nothing verging on the
risque in "A Modern Lady Godiva,"
which was presented at the Grand last
night by Amelia Bingham and a most
excellent company, except the posi-
bihties suggested by the title of the
play. Disappointment was in store for
those who attended the production
with the expectation Of seeing Miss
Bingham emulate the far famed dame
of Coventry by mounting a milk white
palfrey and riding forth well clothed
with wealth of tresses. Miss Bing-
ham, Lady Mary Fulton in the play,
poses for a picture of the heroine of
Coventry, but she does this behind the
scenes and between acts. Lady Mary
sits for this picture for the mere pur-
pose of obtaining funds to take her
husband to foreign CLINE for the
benefit of his health. On its restora-
ton they return to England and are
once again restored to state of af-
f1uence. The picture that Lady Mary
had posed for is unveiled at a recep-
ton in a prominent club and her hus-
band casts her off without giving her
an opportunity to make a word of ex-
PLANTATION. Subsequently he learns that
he was. reduced to perjury in the first
instance by a man who mad acted as
his secretary. This secretary was deep
ly in love with Lady Mary but had
been repeate eddy and most properly re-
pulsed by her. He plays the cards for
the painting of the picture and Its dra-
matte display. When Lady Marys

everything ends perfectly lovely for all
concerned.
Miss Bingham is an actress of dis
tinction and stands in the foremost
rank Of the women on the American
stage today. In this new play of hers
she has plenty of opportunity to show
her talents and her work last night
was of an exceptionally high order,
higher in fact than was deserved for
the audience was a distressingly small
one But for the benefit of those who
were there Miss Bingham gave of her
best and is to be thanked Tor her eff
forts large and capaoie company
supports Miss Bingham, the best work
being done by Charles A Stevenson,

secretary; Jane Gordon as breezy
American girl and Frank H9llins. a
man who eventually wins the American
beauty.
