Cut Ont the WhiteWash.

AnIllinois editor who became tired
of welding the whitewash in the
matter of obituaries, decided to re-
form and tell the truth just once. He
commented as follows upon the death
of a well known citizen:
Died-Age Sc years, 6 months and
10 days. Deceased was a mild-man-
nered pirate with mouth for whisky
and an eye for Doodle. He came
here in the night with another mans
wife and joined the church at the
first chance. He owes us several dol
lars for the paper and large meat
bill, and you could hear him pray two
blocks. He died singing Jesus Paid
it All" He never paid any himself.
He was buried in an asbestos casket,
and his many friends threw palm leaf
fans in the grave, as he may need
them. His tombstone will be fav-
orite resting place for boot owls.

BOWLING BALLS.
The Process Of Making Them Necessi-
tates Slow Work.


A bowling ball looks as if it were
easy to make. yet its manufacture In
wolves long process covering period
of three days. The acrual time put upon
1t is only a matter of three hours. but
the work is slow and requires long
waits between each step toward compile
ton. A log free from knots and cracks
IS first cut into pieces a trffie larger
than the diameter of the ball after it Is
finished. This allows for two little
projections on either side called bits.
where the clamps Of the lathe hold the
block of wood while revolving at light
ming speed under the keen edged too
cutting into the hard fiber like sharp
knife slicing fresh cheese.
This preliminary turning and trim
ming occupy only few minures,
when the block Is shaved and pared
down to the required size. The bits
then are cut off and the whole thing
sandpapered. A coat Of sheliac is APP
piled. and the ball is put one side to
dry 1t then gets another sandpaper-
ing. This is no sooner done than the
workman again carefully applies the
shellac brush When the shellac dries
the second time, the surface is rubbed
with OIL The work doesn't stop then.
for the moment the oil has dried the
ball gets another vigorous sandpaper
ing. Then for the last time it gets
more shellac When thoroughly dry,
the sphere is ready for the two holes
TO be cut for the bowler's thumb and
index finger The last stage of the labo-
rious process is the polishing. which
gives the ball the appearance it has
when it reposes on the rack waiting to
be sent crashing down the alley.
Sometimes there is considerable
waste in cutting up the logs because OF
cracks and assures in the wood. On
| this account an ordinary sized log may
yield only one block sound enough to
put on the turning lathe. while It ought
to make six or seven. The life of the
! average bowling ball is about two
years. The best balls cost S. or Sc,
while the cheapest scale down near the
dollar mark.
