Mrs. M. J.. Cauble has rented

It is a bad trait in a man who
will abuse, curse and accuse a

his part of a crop when he is by

Lee can express his views, but
when he quotes us we want him
not to mlsconstrue our meaning.
W. say it again, the farmer will
not stick as a body. How about
the farmers alliance? We did the
farmer no injustice when we said

grossly insulted every farmer by
saying he is looked upon as 6
"weak and ignorant degraded

FRANK CHANCE WON
GAME WITH VASELINE

THE slickest thing ever did in base
BALL" remarked Frank Chance during n
tanning bee, "was when ] won game
of ball for sullivan, Ind, with a nickePs
worth of white vaseine.
81 was q kid then visiting relatives
down at Sullivan, and playing with the
town team. We were playing the team
from Star City and / was catching. The
vaseline / bought to put on a sore fin
ger, for in those days | smashed a fin
ger an inning on the average, and | was
carrying it in my pocket.
"The bottle broke, and, after extract
ing the glass, l carried about 8 cents
worth of vaseline loose in the hip
pocket. We had the game won in the
ninth, when Star City commenced to
hit and threatened to beat us out.
'Their best batter came up, and,
without thinking, 1 picked up a bat and
handed it to him. My bare hand was
smeared with vaseline, and the grease
covered the handle of the bat. The
first time that fellow struck he threw
the bat clear over third. When they
threw it back 1 smeared more vaseline
on it, and it slipped again.
"By that time he was so worked up
that he struck out and threw the bat
almost over the fence. l creased bat
handles for every hitter that came up
after that, and it worked like a charm.
I think they scored three runs, but we
held them safe and beat them"

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 5.-A close
friend of the cars household physician,
Dr. Hirsch, tells your correspondent
that the dowager czarina, the cars
mother, has been undeniably insane for
three months.
In fact, DR.. Tschehoff the superin-
tendent Of st. Petersburg's noted asy-
lum for the demented, st. Nicholas
Tshudetweretz, asserts that the ma
jority of the foremost Russians are

tember. Gossips whisper that she loved
him passionately and that losing him
wrecked her wits. But her condition is
explainable on less romantic grounds
Trepoff, the "iron-fisted," was the main
stay of the dynasty and was specially
charged with the arduous task Of safe
guarding the imperial family. When he
passed away they were deprived of
their most efficient protector. The dow
ager czarina greatly admired his SOL
dierly qualities and had unbounded con-
fldence in his ability to shield her and
her loved ones. Now she sees bombs
and gallows everywhere in her imagi-
nation and is in state of constant ter
ror.
In her maunderings she declares that
the acknowledged czarevitch, 2A-year-
old Grand Duke Alexis, is not the true
heir to the throne, but a changeling;
that her real grandson was born an
idiot.
She has been taken away from Rus
sia in the hope that she may recover
her reason. Her sister, the queen of
England, bought for the two with their
shares of their late fathers bequests
a retreat near Copenhagen. where the
dowager czarina now is. But even in
her native Denmark, surrounded by
her own people, she is prosecuted with
dreadful hallucinations.
So a little villa has been rented for
her on the Riviera, where it is expected

CAW OF WILD KEEPS CROWS
FROM BEING MESSENGERS

BERLIN, Jan. 5.-An attempt to
train crows like carrier pigeons has
rallied. Thousands of wild crows re-
turned to Germany during the fall and
forced the trained crows by violent
means to remain with the flock and so
intimidated them that even the dainty
food provided by the trainers did not
tempt them. In fact, observers say
that when the civilized birds tried to
return to their posts the other birds
killed them.

So cruel were some of the punish

wonder the poor wretches claimed the

the law could not touch them. A curl
