GRIFFITH AFTER BRADLEY.
Manager Of HighIanders Trying to
Make Deal With Lajoie.

While Manager Griffith of the New

his Montana ranch recently he stopped
off at Cleveland and held several star
chamber sessions with Manager Laloie

which player Griff was after. from Ad-
die Joss to the official mascot. one

er wrote that Griffith and Lajoie were
to swap jobs.
The foxy manager of the Yankees did
stop off at Cleveland for purpose, and
that was to secure Bradley, and the
proposition was not turned down. 1t
appears that Jajoie is not entirely sat
istied with Bradley's work last season.
and there arc rumors that he had de-
cided to transfer the third baseman t"
first.
Just what deal Griffith proposed to
Lajoie has not been made public, but
it is extremely probable that Jake
Stahl figured in the negotiations. There
MAJ be a trade made or purchase mon
ey paid outright to secure the valuable
Nap.
1t is plainly evident that Frank Far
rell has given Griff carte blanche to go
out and get the players he thinks nee
essary to form a pennant winning ag-
gregation. without regard to prices.
and no manager has ever been known
to have done as much hustling in 50
short time as Griff has since he left
New York.

To Catch COckrOaches.

The prevention of the ravages Of in

some degree Or other. Cockroaches
are at times troublesome and pernic-

such as gardenlas, so that to those not

however, is the quickest method Of ex-
terminating these epicures. The most
improved method of capturing them
known to me was discovered by mere
accident A common fruit jar OF
pint capacity was inadvertently left in
the greenhouse. Within the jar were
the remains of portion of bacon.
Next morning, On looking around the
interior of the greenhouse, and happen

the jar, the greenhouse man beheld d
dozen or more cockroaches valnly en-
deavoring to climb the slippery sides
Of the glass jar in desperate attempt
at escape. In due time the workman
gladly acted the part Of executioner.
Next evening and every evening since,
the jar with its allurlng and aromatic
contents was in place with the result
that the whole esta blishment is now al
most clear Of cockroaches. For the
benefit of other sufferers from these
voracious and repulsive creatures, |
must add that they cannot climb into
the jar from the outside any more than
they can climb out and escape, unless
piece Of paper is placed on the out
side for a foothold In the first in
stance, the original label Of the manu-
facturers answered the purpose admir-
ably. This, of course, does not imply
that the visiting gentry were made
known of the jars contents by the in
scription, but simply that by it they
got their supper, and a nights lodging,
with a cordial greeting in the morning.

The Care Of Lamps

Few people understand the proper care
of lamps, and find them rather a tax tc

after, It will give a good clear light with
out odor--if there Is absolute cleanliness
as to burner. wick and chimney. Do not
leave the care of the lamps until they are
never clean lamps on a table where food
is prepared but have a special place fol
the work. Spread several newspapers over
the table or shelf and upon these set the
various parts. Some housekeepers think
II better to wipe of the burned portions
of the wick instead OF cutting II. The
main thing Is to remove Il evenly. Any
pieces Of wick dropped on the burner VIII
cause an odor when the lamp Is lighted
About once n month the wick should be
removed and the wick boiled In hot soar
suds or n solution of washing soda. Wipe
the inside Of smoky chimneys with tissue
paper before washing them. Care should
be taken that they are thoroughly dry or
they will break easily when heated. Wher
nrst lighting a lamp keep the wick low
TO allow the chimney TO heat gradually
and do not leave IL Immediately after
lighting IL. Many n ceiling has beer
ruined by n smoky lamp.
Each day clean every portion Of the
burner with n piece OF chamois. Lift the
top OF the burner and see that the small
AR holes In the burner are not stopped up
with dust or charred wick. This Is often
the cause of a dim light and an ill-smell-
ing lamp.
DO not allow a lamp TO burn after the
oil is exhausted. nor temporize by turning
II down; both burner and wick Will be
saved by putting the lamp out. When
cleaning the lamp. rub or the charred
portion OF the wick with the finger or o
