There are several senators and mem

value OF invitations TO tho white House
receptions every winter, when those
invitations arc distributed among their

MACK FoRFErTs GAME.
Gets Mad at Umpire and Takes His
Team From Butler Diamond.

BUTLER, Pa, July 13-When
Manager Reddy Mack took the Fair
mont team from the field in the sixth
inning of the Fairmont-Butler con-
test yesterday afternoon after he had
a squabble with Umpire Johnston the
latter forfeited the game to Butler.
In the sixth inning with man on
first and second a foul fly was hit
and Umpire Johnston failed to call
it until after the men on bases had
scored. Mack asked him why he did
not call the hit sooner, for which he
was put out of the game. Then
when Connors asked why Mack was
put out of the game he was also or
dered from the game. At this stage
of the game Mack took his team
from the field and forfeited to But
Ter. Mcguire pitched for Fairmont
and after the third inning he had
his opponents guessing.
The game will not be protested as
Mack was hardly justified in taking
his team from the field When the
game stopped the score was to l in
Buffers favor. Carlisle and Andrew
will pitch in today's double-header.

French President,s Double.

M. Fallieres was until recently be-
lieved to be the only president of the
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind Of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president. the same kind Of hat
and exactly so oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always ac-
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents private
secretary. Dignified and with meas
ured steps the enviable double walks
through the Faubourg Saint Honore
and feels overjoyed at being saluted
ON all sides.

ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proved
That Weeping 10 Common.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst, q
mule has been seen to cry from the
pain of an injured foot and camels.
1t is said, shed tears in streams. says
writer In Harper's Weekly. A COW
sold by its mistress who had tended
young soko ape used to cry from vexa-
tion II Livingston didn't nurse 1t in
his arms when IL asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying. and
apes have wept over their young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to
carry water jugs broke one and fell
a-crying, which proved sorrow, though
1t wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears. A giraffe which
huntsman's rifle had injured began
to cry when approached. Sea lions
often weep over the loss of their
young. Gordon Cummings observed
tears trickling down the face of a dy-
ing elephant. And even an orang-
outang when deprived of its mango
was so vexed that it took to weeping.
There is little doubt, therefore. that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance.

Safe, Sure and srecdx.


No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has SO fully and unuuestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles OF
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which plaster is re-
Quired. They are speedy in their ac-
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
OF muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated. therefore always
make sure and get the eenuine.
