HATS IMPROVE WITH AGE.
Economy in the Purchase Of First
Class Silk Headgear.

"a silk hat, hike wine. improves
with age" said a clubman. ''The oft
ener you have 1t ironed the sleeker
and more brilliant it becomes. 1t
costs a good deal at the outset, but in
the END 1t is the cheapest hat to wear.
1t lasts. you see, so long, and TO iron
It costs SO little-a dime. or so. Some
folks think the topper very perish
able. If it gets soaked with rain, II
some one sits on it and brushes it in,
to an accordion, they think 1t must be
thrown away, the same as if it were a
Derby. But not at all. A silk hat can
be taken apart and put together again
like a watch, and If it gets crushed.
nothing is easier than to melt of the
silk, straighten out the frame and then
put on the silk again. In England, the
home Of this hat, I have known men
TO wear the same topper for 10 or IL
years, And the oftener the old hat is
ironed the brighter and finer it shines.
It's luster increases with time and fric-
ton like the luster of good, antique
furniture"

CHAPTER XXXIV.

All of the foregoing happened In
much less time than it takes to tell
it and before the second lot Of chill
dren was safety conducted to the
street, Marshall Merrieweather, who
was passing the nearby corner, no
ticed that something was amiss.
Hello there!" he shouted to a po-
lice officer patrolling In the square
beyond.
The officer evidently did not hear
the call, and Marshall put his fng-
ers In his mouth and whistled long
and shrilly. This attracted the at
tention of the policeman, who
turned, paused for a moment look
ing down the lonely thoroughfare,
and then ran up breathlessly and de-
manded:

THE ANTS EGG TRADE.
Russian Gatherer Has Insects HeIE
Him in Collecting.

Ants eggs come in the main from
Russia. They are the best food OBJ
tainable for gold fish, and canaries
and other cage birds thrive on them
wonderfully. They cost about 90
cents a pint In the forests Of south
ern Russia ant nests abound. The
Russian egg hunter does not do his
own collecting there-he makes the
poor ants do it for him. Selecting 3
hot, sunny day, the man first erects
little piles Of twigs, dozen or more
of them, near the thickest colonies,
and then he kicks open all the nests
in the neighborhood. The ants know
that their eggs, thus exposed TO the
sun would be made sterile in few
hours, and they take them up and
hurry to place them under the nearest
shelter The nearest shelter Is, OF
course, the little pile OF twigs, and
under each of these there are soon
heaped the eggs from a hundred
nests. The egg hunter. after a smoke
and nap, has nothing to do but gath.
er up his spoil and dump it in his
sack. He ships the eggs in hundred
weight bags, all over the world.

TODAY'S POSSIBILITIES.

Detroit took a big jump in the pen
nant race yesterday by coping a
double victory over the Senators, while
the Athletics lost to the in and cutters
from Cleveland 1t practically gives
the team from Michigan the banner
and the fans of that city went wild
last night when the news was sent
over the wire. Hughey Jennings is
now the idol, and he can have any
thing he wants in that burg. The Zig
ers have four more games to play
while the Athletics have five and the
them while the former are losing two,
to finish ahead. But the way the Tig
are are going at the present time
does not look as though they would
lose two games. They play at Wash
ington again today and then have
three with st. Louis. Mullin did the
twirling for the Tigers after the third
inning, in which Killian went wrong,
and so we'll did he finish out the game
that he came back in the second and

chance to get a little rest. In the
first game Cobb and Schaefer got four
hits each and Coughlin three and in
the second Germany got four more
while Cobb. Crawford and Schmidt got
three each. Cobb stole four bases In

Charlottesville, Ind. Oct. 3.-In the
opinion of Walter Eckersall, who has
repeatedly made the an-American
eleven and who is credited with being
the greatest punter In the football
world, Walter Sohl of this city is
great punter in embrio and ought to
be one OF the best kickers in the coun-
try when he has had more experience.
EckersaI said yesterday after he had
seen the Wabash team go through its
regular practice. that Sohl was the
most natural kicker he ever saw and
that as soon as he gets the knack OF
handling the ball down. he should
make one of the best punters in the
west
When EckersalI came on the field in
Wabash football suit he was given
a splendid ovation by the several hun
bred Wabash fans that had gathered
in the bleachers to see the scrimmage
between the regulars and the scrubs.
big Chief" Cayou put his men
through one of the most gruelling
practices that have been held on In
gals field this season. The Scrubs"
seemed to have the advantage over the
varsity all round and as a result of
the practice Cayou promised a shakeup
in the varsity lineup for today.
Tonight the entire squad will be
the guests of Coach Cayou at the pre-
sentation Of the great football play
"Strongheart." Mr.. Cayou while at
Carlisle Indian school was a close
friend of Mr. De Mile the author of the
play. The incidents in the play were
taken from the life of Cayou while a
student at Carlisle and Dickinson coll
leges.
In the country edition of this morn
ing's Chicago Tribune there appears a
column article signed by Walter Eek
ersa1 on the prospects of the Wabash
college football team.
Speaking of the Little Giants
Eckersan says: Under the tutelage OF
Frank Cayou. the famous Carlisle In
dian and subsequent University of Illi-
nois athlete, Wabash has developed in
all branches of athletics. and every
western university has been compelled
to look upon them as contenders In
every line of sport.
Their practice shows grim determin-
alton and that aggressiveness which
has won for them the place they hold
as the foremost college, outside of the
big nine" in western athletics.
On Oct. 10 Wabash will meet Michi-
gan at Indianapolis. Great interest Ii
being manifested in the game through.
out the state, and Coach Cayou is con
fident a surprise is in store for tn,
Wolverines. The famous Indian has
innumerable plays Of an intricate ma
ture, which may prove bewildering t.
the Michiganders.

game This may prove a handicap, 70
some may not be in the best of shap
for the big game. 1t should be under

criterion to what the Michigan gam
will be, as Cayou has new plays an(
different men for that contest.

both teams getting nine. Robe made

It kind Of looks as though the cham
poinship world series games would be
arranged so that the big park at the
west side would get the majority of
the games. They have a seating ca
pacity nearly double the Detroit
grounds and Hughey Jennings has
asked the national commission, in case
the Tigers win the pennant, to have
the two opening games at Chicago.
1t looks as though Tommy Murphy
and his manager do not want any of
Packy McFarland's game after all. The
men are matched at Indianapolis and
Nurphy's money is up in New York,
while Mcfarland has his cash up at
the club. Now Murphy's manager
wants Packy's money posted in New
York and wants 1t raised from $50 to
$500. Anything to make a break.

MAYOR VETOES GAS FRANCHISE

Mayor Horace Wilson to-day return
ed without his approval to the Street
and Sewer Directors the franchise they
granted on Tuesday Of last week to
the Commercial Light Heat and Power
Company.
The mayor sets forth several objec-
tions he has 10 the franchise as il is
framed. and also quotes legal objec-
tions that are raised by City Solicitor
Townsend.
He asserts that II there was some
assurance that the city could have this
competitive company under safe and
proper restrictions and with the city's
interest reasonably protected, he would
welcome it.
1t is expected that Mayor wilson's
veto viii be considered by the Street
and Sewer Directors at their regular

The ten days allotted to the mayor 10
consider the franchise expire with to-
day.
Directors Thomas H. Melvin and
John G. Gray voted for the franchise

the franchise when II was granted.
Should they line up that way again
the mayors veto would be overruled
and the franchise would be effective.
City Solicitor Townsend points out
what he considers serious legal flaws

ably will be given serious consideration
