Double. e.Header Tomorrow.


 Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 16-Ow- ing to burning bridge just east of Forrest City the Little Rock baseball team was delayed near ly 12 hours today and did not arrive in Memphis until 9 o'clock tonight.
 A large crowd assembled at Red Elm park this afternoon, and after the time for calling the game passed without the Colts making their appearance, Umpire Davis announced that the game was forfeited to Memphis. At first Manager Babb said that he would claim the game, but after the Little Rock team arrived and he learned the circumstances he changed his mind, as there was no chance of the forfeit being al lowed to stand.
 Manager Finn, upon his arriv- al tonight, said that he was will ing to play a double-header to- morrow, and consequently that arrangement was made. Finn said that Eyler would probably pitch the first game for Little Rock. Manager Babb will use his two left-handers, Cristall and Shields.

I don't know; he was hitting a pretty fast pace" answered the other. Burning the candle at both ends, eh?" remarked the salesman. Yes, I guess that's what you'd call it," admitted the buyer For a few moments both men were silent, then the salesman looked up.

Old Shell Exploded.

A curious scene occurred on the premises of a Paris locksmith, recent ly. For the last 15 years a shell which dated back to the siege of Paris In 1870 had been used by a rag and bone merchant as sort of nestle The merchant attached a handle to the shell. Some time ago the handle broke off, and the locksmith was ask. ed to repair 1t. Having made a new handle red-hot. he drove 1t into the orifice of the shell. There was a tre- mendous explosion. The locksmith and his apprentice were blown several feet away, while pieces of the shell were driven clean through the wood work and the window of the shop. and were found buried in the brick walls Of the courtyard. Every window in the house was smashed, and large pieces of the shell were found buried in the ceiling, but by a miracle mo- body was hurt.

No Two Mouths Alike.

Dr. Paul Prager, an Austrian army surgeon, who has made a special study of methods of identification, recom- mends that prisoners should be identi- fled by the shape of their palates Dr. Prager declares that the method would be much more reliable than any at present used, for among the thousands of molds he has taken of the interior of the human mouth he has failed to find two which even slightly resem- bled each other. Although the teeth alter greatly with time, the markings Of the palate remain unchanged throughout life

ALWAYS TRUST THE GIRLS
stenooraphers Will Spurn sribes
 Rather Than Betray Secrets.

Not long ago Kansas City stenog- rapher learned that the railroad for which she was working had deter mined to extend its line. She had friend living in the town through which the line was to run. A let ter to him, with her savings, would have enabled him to buy at low price the land the road needed, and the peculiar nature of the ground in that neighborhood would have en- abled him to sell at a great profit. She did not consider the thing moro than minute, and then decided that it would be dishonorable thing to do. Another stenographer in a large real estate office became aware Of deal in which $150,000 was involved. Certain information she possessed would be worth thousands to the other parties. They made a few advances and hinted at rewards as high as $5.000 for her betrayal of her firm. She indignantly refused. and told her employers of the scheme. Another stenographer was offered $l,00O for copies of three letters which she had written. A lawsuit in which her em- ployers were involved might have gone against them had the opposing party been able to secure the in- formation contained in the three let. ters. The lawyer for the other side laid ten $100 bills on her mothers table and told her they were hers for the permission to read the letters. The girl scorned the offer.

Magnifyinq Choir Leaders Voice

In the old village of Braybrook in Northamptonshire, England, is a mon. ster trumpet. five six inches in length. and having bell-shaped end two feet one inch in diameter. The trumpet is made up of ten rings, which in turn are made up of smaller parts. The use of this trumpet-only four of the kind are known to exist at the present day-was to magnify the voice of the leader in the choir and summon the people to the church service. At the present time neither the choir nor the service is in need of this extraor- dinary musical instrument" but the vicar of the church takes care of the ancient relic and is fond of showing 1t to all visitors.
