A man in a small western town bought
a quart of milk, and on arriving home

PRESCOTT BALL GAME
 RESULT Of AUTOPSY
Cause of Death Found by the Fan Doctors to Have Been Different From Early Reports But Equally as Fatal in Results.

In yesterdays story of the Phoenix
 Prescott baseball game. condensed
 somewhat as it came from Prescott by
 wire, an error was made in the stating
 of but half truth and as the result of | it. Ray Stauffer was not given fair 1 treatment when the losing of the game ] was credited to his account. It is true
 according to the umpire that Stauffer
 did make an error by a poor throw | but it was after an error had been made by Stevenson in a similar wild : throw. Had it not been for the first error the second could not have occur J red and if either error is to be charged with the losing of the game il should have been the first one. though both errors contributed to the scoring of the single run made by Prescott.
 In an amateur game as closely
 matched as this one was, where the slightest weakness at any point meant | defeat, il is hardly fair to attribute
 the defeat to any one, or for that mat ter to any two players. for the world | is still awaiting the birth of the man who can play perfect ball all the time.
 Moreover. in this particular game the
 incident in question occurred right at
 the start and there were two or three opportunities in the later innings
 where Prescott might have been tied or beaten only for bad luck, or some one not doing just what was expected
 even though the one in question did
 not fall down to the extent of an er- TOT. One instance was the fatal dou-
 ble play in the ninth where no one I,s.al st quite so long chance in playing off third he could perhaps have saved himself Nevertheless he was justified but the next batted ball happened to go to the only spot on earth il could go to insure putting him out. Those who saw the game all agree that il was such a perfect balance. such fine exhibition of baseball. even by the losing team, and so utterly indecisiye between the two teams clear to the last fatal play. that the defeat could be attributed to nothing less than the whole team and that the game was a credit to il even in the losing. IL could hardly be said even that the winners played better ball for it was q mere stroke of good luck for the Diamond Jos that gave them a shade the best of it.
 Concerning the incident in the first inning, which was incorrectly reported | a statement of it was secured last evening of Umpire Wynkoop before he left for Tucson. Mir Wynkoop said |, that as he recalled it the play was as follows:
 The first Prescott man up hit to !, Williams pitcher Who threw him ont at first Elliott. next at bat. hit to right field. Stauffer got a slow start and failed to reach the ball. Elliott reaching first base in safety. Though I Stauffer failed to reach the ball he 1

Stew enson trying to make a double play threw a fast ball toward second but with a bad eye and it went wild. This was the first error and permitted Elliott to make second base.

As You Please.a

In the ancient times there lived a
wonderfully wise man, of whom it was
said that he could answer correctly
any question put to him. There was
one, however, who thought himself
clever enough to outwit the sage. This
man took poor, captive bird and
clasped it so closely in his hand that
only the head and tail were visible.
TELL me- said he to the renowned
guesser of riddles, sis the bird which
hold in my hand alive or dead?"
If the answer were Dead thought
this artful plotter, he would just open
his hand and let the bird fly. If the
answer were "Alive," he would with
one little squeeze crush the poor bird
to death.
But the wise man proved himself
equal to the occasion and replied, cit is
as you please"
Each one holds within his or her
grasp the fair bird of life. Which is it
to be-? A blessing or bane? 1t is "as
you please"

Eating Ants For Dessert.

Savages, we know, indulge in such
luxrlries as grubs and locusts, but for a
civilized white man to finish up his
dinner with dish o. raw ants seems
too nasty to be credible. Yet in Mexico
it is the custom-and a custom adopted
by plenty of colonials and visitors. The
ant eaten is called the honey ant and
is perhaps as curious an insect as lives.
With a tiny head and legs, it has
huge body as big as large pea, and
this is yellow and swollen with excel
lent honey. In each nest there are 300
or 400 Of these honey ants, which are
attended by thousands Of others. The
honey ants hang on to the roofs of the
cells in the nest while the others feed
them. They are, in fact, living store
houses Of winter food. An observer
says that if one of the honey ants falls
from his perch a worker will go and
pick him up aud replace him. This
feat is equivalent to a man walking UP
the face Of cliff carrying a large buff
falo or cart horse on his back.

Written IN a Slate.

General Lew Wallace wrote the first
rough draft of "Ben-Hur" on 4 slate,
giving as his reason that erasures could
more readily be made. After satisfy
ing himself with sentence written in
this way he would, with soft pencil,
transfer the writing to paper, and final
ly, when everything pleased him, he
copied the entire manuscript in ink
with the precision of an engrossing
clerk. 1t is declared by those who were
personally acquainted with General
Wallace that <''Ben- Hur' was written
and rewritten at least thirty times, and
that when the final copy was sent to
the publishers there was neither cor
rection nor an erasure throughout the
manuscript. The printer set up the
copy exactly as it was written, and the
author himself never corrected a proof
before the book was sent to press.

fiIlment Of an ancient custom, there Is

The blind Historian.

William Hickling Prescott. who Yas
born at Salem, Mass, on the 4th OF
May, 1876. was the son of prosper
Gus lawyer, entered Harvard college in
1911 and graduated in 1914 Early IN
his college career he had his left eye
blinded by piece of bread plavfulJy
thrown at him by fellow student, and
the other eye soon became sympathet
ically affected. He travelled in Eng.
land, France and Italy and then de-
voted himself to severe study. but ii
was not till the beginning of 1926 that
he found the work of his life within
the range of Spanish history. Fortu-
nately his means were ample, so that
he was able to procure the services Of
assistants and to live amid conditions
of comfort. BY constant habit he gain
ed the power of carrying great deal
in his memory, and after he had revolv-
ed the whole of chapter in his mind
he quickly transferred it to paper by
means Of his stylus and an ingenious
writing case especially constructed for
the blind. He published his History OF
Ferdinand and Isabella" in 1888, which
carried his name across the ocean to
the old world. This was followed by
his History of the Conquest of Next
coz in 1S43, and of Peru" in 1S47.
These gave him great reputation.
