SOLD THE RAILROAD STATION.
(St. Louis Globe-Democrat.)


During the construction of the Mexican
Central railroad many Americans who for
one reason and another found it difficult
to obtain positions. of responsibility in
the railway service of the states sought
employment on the new road The ODera-
tor at Jiminez was Andy Ellison.
You can't do anything crooked down
here" the travelling auditor said In joe
uiar Way. Your receipts will hardly
average 10 pesos a day, and the remit
tances must be made daily. l guess the
company will risk you"
Ellison made many acquaintance
among the natives of the good-fellow
sort, and they were much interested in
his new road. One day Elkson made tho
remark to one of the boys that he was
tired of the business and believed he
would quit Next morning the boys IA

son that he would like to talk business
with him.
"All right. go ahead said EIkson
My son says you want to quit this
business; / will buy it from you" the
Mexican ranchero said
Ellison was quick to grasp the situation.
You mean you want to buy this tele-
graph and agency business?" he ques-
toned
"Si, senior "
The lowest price 1 can take is $4,000
for the whole thing, building and all :"
Ellison answered
The deal was closed on the spot and
the $4,000 was to be paid over to Elk
son the next day.

Game Started in New York.

Some of the facts are interesting to a
degree The game was started in New
York in 1912. The pioneers were a lot of
gentlemen who met every pleasant after
noon on the vacant lot wherein the fam
Gus Madison Square Garden now stands.
The players had no regular organization
but relied on those present and willing to
make up the teams. These methods con-
tinued until 1S45. Then Alexander ]. Cart
wright proposed that an organization be
formed. The scheme was taken up imme-
diately. and in June of that year the first
baseball team was duly organized and
played together all season against the
best picked teams they could find to op-
pose them They took the name of Knick-
erbocl1ers and under its legend the. first
attempt was made to place baseball on an
organized footing

First Scheduled Game.

In the following year. 1916, a team cali
ing itself the New YOrks was put in the
field and it played the first regular SEIZED
uled game on record between two organ
lied clubs. The contest took place June
70, and. as il was extensively noticed in
the papers of that time, a huge crowd was
in attendance. The playing rules were
of course, crude, the principal one being
that the club first making twenty-one
aces, now known as runs, was the winner
In this first contest the New Yorks sur
prised the KnickeTbockers by defeating
them in four innings by % to I. 1t may be
of interest to know that the uniforms of
the KniCkerbOckers in those days consist
ed of blue full-length trousers. white
flannel shirts and straw hat. In 1888
mOhair hat and a patent-leather belt were
added to the uniform, which remained
the same until the club dissolved in 1SS2.

milk that has never been searched
out by scientists. For instance, what

these elements plays a considerable
role. There is the chic. ide OF sodium

to the extent of 81 one-thousandths Of

quite essential. Cows have been de-
prived OF salt to the extent OF greatly
reducing their milk flow, but just how
this was connected with the salt we
do not yet know.
There are many things in milk that
are worth finding out. Some day we
may learn that the food of cows must
have certain things in them that we
now deem of no particular nutritiye
value. The study of milk has not yet
reached the stage where it yields data
to settle all the questions that seem
so difficult. One OF the great things
as yet little studied is the sugar in
milk, which often exceeds the fat
content. Is there a close relation be
tween the fat and the sugar? A study
OF the two in conjunction might yield
some results Of great commercial
value.
