NATIONALS WON
 < SLOW GAME Local Ball Team Carried Off Honors From Martin Arms Team of Little Rock Yesterday.
PLAY AGAIN TODAY
Hanf Stole Four Bases-Ware Made Brilliant Catch and Brewster and Taylor We're There With the Stick Official Score Tells Story.

Happy Triplett's Nationals made the Martin-Arms baseball players look like selling platers" yesterday afternoon at Forest Park, when they carried away the honors ill a slow, uninteresting and almost fea- tureless game of ball. Only small crowd was out but "Uncle Billy Hearn remained faithful to the last, remaining in the grand stand until the last "out /" had been called by the umpire in the first half of the ninth. But MT. Hearn is always faithful and had it not been for his "rooting' and the sweet, en- couraging tones of that sweet, young lady rooter, whose brother was a star performer in the game, little interest would have been manifested in the contest by the fans.
 Carter Murphy and Doe" Galla- gher were the slabsmen for the Ma 5tionals. They were received by Happy Triplett. The visitors had Hawkins ain the box and it was evident that S Hawkins is being worked overtime, Hfor he was almost down and out Syesterday and didn't inject enough Senergy into his work to remind the scorer that he was in the game. The Nationals jumped on the cripple at ppportune times and pounded out bits that meant runs. The errors pn both sides were costly.
 % Carl Ware, Fonzo Brewster and ACarence Hanf were the live wires 41 esterday's game. Wares running ssse in right field was about as kretty piece of diamond work seen Acre this season. Brewster was there kith the stick and felded his posi- kion cleverly. Hanf stole four bases
 
 Ing a hit, reaching first, he stole Necond and third and later, while Iunning for another player, again &tole second and third. The batting if Taylor was also a feature, while &allegher netted a clean two bagger b one time up.

Advertiser!


Trade that is worth having is worth asking for, and the merchant who sits down and waits for business to come to him without making any eff fort for it will have long time to wait. This is no age for slug gards in the business world. The man who succeeds noWa- days must be up and doing early in the morning, or he will find out when it is too late that success does not come without hard work and plenty of it. The merchant who is satisfied to accept whatever portion of trade comes his way without trying for O larger share is de- cidedly out of touch with the spirit of the times.

The Briqht Butler.

A few days ago one of PhiladelphIa's
prominent society women told her but
Ter to tell all visitors that she was not
Mt home. At night, when enumerating
the persons who had called during the
day, he mentioned the lady's sister,
when his mistress exclaimed: II told
you, man, that was always at home
for my sister! You ought to have
shown her In"
Next day the lady went out to make
a few calls, and during her absence
her sister came to the house.
'Is your mistress at homer" she ask
ed the butler
Yes, madam" was the reply.
The lady went upstairs and looked
everywhere for her sister. On coming
downstairs she said to the butler, my
sister must have gone out, for cannot
find her"
Eyes, madam, she has gone out. but
she told me last night that she was al.

Her Choice lea.

There Is true story told Of wealthy
American lady who was In China and
one of the court officials, wishing to
do her great honor, promised to send
her a casket containing some extraor.
binary tea. In due time an exqui-
sitely packed box arrived containing
tea, She babe many of her society
friends to a series of afternoons, at
which this tea was served, its de-
liclous qualities expatlated upon and
all seemingly enjoyed the beverage.
At the end of the season when the
casket was almost empty she found a
very small beautifully decorated box,
which on opening contained the price
less tea. What she had used was the
dried tea leaves that had been used
probably time and again by coolies. 1t
seems that rare and costly tea is
packed in tea to preserve the aroma
and flavor. 1t was such rich joke
upon herself that the hostess told the
story, and the society set had good
laugh.-Chicago Record-Herald.

How to Follow Forest rrniIs.

"The trail has code OF signs, as
well as book of laws" says Hamlin
Garland in 1.-THE Long Trail" A twig
designedly broken is like finger
pointing toward gate. A blaze cor
responds to the beckoning hand. A
new blaze renders an old one Of no
value. A sapling cut and bent across
path locks it and warningly says,
Go no farther this way A stick set
upright in the mud means no bottom
here
by use of these and many other
records of the same sort, the trailer
profits by the experience Of those who
have gone before him and aids those
who are to follow. There Is always
news on the trail for those who have
eyes to perceive it, and 1t Is the duty
of him who rides ahead to enllghten
those who are to follow. The Klikitat
by means of signs almost invisible can
cheer, direct and definitely warn his
tribesman. These signs ON the trail
are respected. No one thinks of re-
moving them except for cause"

a Canine Shirker.

Rex, thoroughbred Spitz, must per-
form the painful duty of escorting a
certain neighbor home when she has
been calling at our house. However,
It is not without a show of reluctance
that he does it. Recently our friend
missed her escort, and no amount of
whistling proved equal to recalling
him. This occurred several times and
it was always in about the same place
that Rex disappeared. One night our
friend determined to discover ReX's
little game. After whistling and call
ing she made a pretense Of going on.
She stopped in a deep shadow.
Around the corner of the nearest house
appeared a sinking figure. Stealthily
quitting the shadows Rex crept out
and peered long and anxiously up the
street, whittier, as he well knew, he
should have continued to conduct the
lady. After this he turned shamelessly
around and lit out for home-Chicago

Leuend of the Violet,

A Latin poem of the sixteenth CEN
fury has pretty legend Of violet
that, in NEUROLOGICAL days, was a
maiden called Ianthis, one Of Dlana's
nymphs. She attracted the attention
of Apollo, whose admiration she did
not return, and, flying from his pur-
suit, she implored Diana to destroy the
beauty which occasioned her so much
trouble Diana granted her request
and turned her face to a dull purple.
Ianthis, however, soon regretted the
loss of her beauty and was pining
away with grief, when the goddess
had pity on her and changed her into
a flower, which still shrinks from Apol-

flowers, too, that change. There's the

Why rhsx Ara So Clean.

"How is it that French children are
SO tidy?" many foreigners in Paris in
qulre. Because from the time they
understand an elementary sentence
it is dinned into them that it is very
wrong to run fast, to fall or to dirty
their dresses in any way, and, above
all, 1t is awful to muss their hair. An
ordinary scene in the BoIs is where
two children arrive In their auto ac-
companied by a nurse and goyerness.
They Ghe children are dressed in light
silk dresses and wear long white
gloves. They start to play ball. Every
time the ball touches the ground, which
happens once In awhile, the nurse
PUSHES up and wipes every bit Of
sand very carefully off the ball before
1t is handed back to the children. Is
It a wonder that their long gloves are
clean ?--New York Post.
