ANOTHER WADDELL
 STORY RELATED How "Rube" Turned CantiIIon'S
 Hair to Gray AS A COAST LEAGUER Land Rag for PhiIadeI Iphia-Lenhart Says Waddell the Best Natural Pitcher That Ever Tossed
 Ball.

Known wherever the pulse is quick ened by the sight of the red. white and blue Is the name of Waddell. He was ehristened George Edward by his parents, but the great American public has chuck ed that George Edward over the fence, and to the people the Waddell being scribbled about here is just plain Rube. Rube has been the hero of more stories than even the think works of a Kipling could turn out. l venture to assert that, notwithstanding the countless yarns that have been unreeled about him, the half has never yet been told.
 Big and powerful, but with the fnclina- tons of healthy schoolboy, George Ed ward is always doing the unique. Joe Cantillon took him on a bush tour to California one swinter. and l was intro duced to our hero at Sacramento, the cap ital of the state of sunshine, heas and oranges. Rube wasn't off the train if teen minutes before he was as thick as a stack of reds with Sacramento's oldest inhabltant, chief of police, president of the chamber of commerce and all of the city's big citizens. Before he fitted him- self into a chair for supper that night the Rube Waddell toilet soap was on the Sacramento market.

cleveland's New Holiday.
The Reader for May.

From The Reader for May.
 Ex-Presldent Cleveland is in favor of a national holiday on which to honor "the simple virtues and pleasures which gave strength to the character of our Ameri- can ancestry"
 A holiday for the celebration of old-time virtues is well enough. They were good virtues but not whit better than some new-time virtues. And there are some Complicated" lives worth dozen sim ple'' ones. The truth is, there are in- numerable forms of goodness in this world-and goodness is 4 curious plant that comes up between the cracks of pavements as well as in green fields. There are d good many different ways of looking at the town, and innumerable paths that may be walked in-and many of these paths carry those who walk them to great places or peace and beauty. As for usefulness-if one cannot be useful in city, then where can he be of use?

 The Birmingham High school broke even with the Stafford High school in doubleheader at Tuscaloosa yesterday, but the showing made by the local boys was astonishing to the Tuscaloosa fans Tls Stafford High school had defeated the second team or the State university enthusiasts expected both games. The first game went twelve innings, in which seven double plays were made. This was pronounced one of the most exciting and best played games that have ever been seen on a Tuscaloosa diamond. Thomas pitched good ball for High school. The second game was 8 to in favor of the Birmingham High school. The fea- ture of the game was the pitching of streit, fielding of Motley and hitting of Larkin.

HON E-MADE DART.
Pins, Feathers and Old Corks Are All
That Is Needed.

You can make a lot of darts with
which you may have a good deal Of
fun at the cost of only a few minutes
of time. All you need is some pins,
old corks and feathers.
Insert the pin in the large end Of
the cork and shove it clear through so
that the point comes out on the other
end of the cork and the head of the
pin is buried. Now push the point of
the feather into the cork beside the
pin, so that it goes half way through
the cork. and your dart is complete.
You can throw this dart consider
able distance, the feather keeping it
whirling round and round, but always
going point first through the air.
If you make a small target you will
find that by a little practice you can
come very near the %bull's-eye every
shot, for the whirling motion given by
the feather gives an unusual accuracy
to the dart, just as the rifiing or
twist in the bore of a gun makes
the. bullet fly straight to its mark.

there is little to choose between the

sergeS, and for their weight and good
wearing quality serges cannot be sur
passed. There are various mixtures
in this weave, so that, while kept on
the II color, the cloth, whether blue
or black, looks somewhat dressier
than with the plain surface. For an
inexpensive gown a plain plush serge
is n of the best investments, for it
will stand an immense amount of
hard usage.
In ordering a dark cloth frock it
should be remembered that it is in

can be, for even during the summer

Stuffed CABBAGE.

Take a nice solid head of cabbage;
hollow out from the root end a round
hole, then have ready one pound of

steak ground together. Put this in a
bowl and stir it well with one-half cuS
milk, one egg, two tablespoonfuls Of
flour, and a little salt and pepper.
Now fill the cabbage with this and
cover the opening with a couple of the
outside leaves of the cabbage. Then
tie a nice clean cloth around the
whole and put into a kettle of boiling
water; put a little salt in the water
and let it boil for two hours. Serve
hot with melted butter, into which put

A FRENCH
She Waded Through Icy Water to
Save Three Children.

This is a story of a heroine OF
France:
At st. Vincent, near Lorient, in
Brittany, the River ARR was frozen
over. Some children ventured on the
ice, utterly needless of it's weakness
and the depth of the stream beneath.
Before they had zone many steps they
had fallen through and were in the
water. Mile. lie Commander, a girl of
nine, heard the cries of two
who saw the accident from the river
bank some distance away.
She resolutely waded into the river.
making a way for herself through
the broken ice, and with the water
sweeping over her shoulders she
reached the two elder children. one
aged ten and the other seven, who
were clinging to the edge of the ice,
and brought them to the river bank.
The third child, a t~wo-year-old baby.
she left balancing on the ice, thinking
that he had a better chance OF STAY
ing above the water than the bigger
children. But before she reached him
he slipped and was washed n mid
stream and sank out of sight.
The girl dived, caught the baby's
clothing and dragged him to the shore.
Rescued and rescuer were all put to
bed at once and none suffered any
bad result of the wetting and ex-
posture.

Leftover Roasts.

After a roast has served for two
meals there is often meat enough for
another, although not in good shape.
When this is the cas cut up the meat,
mince fine an onion, add the gravy If
necessary, slice cold boiled potatoes,
and arrange in a baking dish. Set
back on the stove where it will heat
through while you are making a tin
of baking powder biscuit. After cut
ting out your biscuits, instead of put.
ting them on a tin, put them on the
top of the meat pie, slip the whole
thing into the oven and bake until the
biscuits are done. Chicken pie can
be made in the same way and can be
served without carving in a neat man
ner.
