In reference to orders can say that
the mills all have sufficient orders to
keep up steady run. There is in
fact, very healthy demand on the

there is 10 danger of having to close

TOLEDO WANTS DAUBRRT
Former Marion Player May Replace
Pete Lister.

Jake Daubert is the first baseman
on whom President Armour OF the
Toledo club is figuring. Cleveland
owns him now and Nashville, where
he played last year, wants him
back there again. Therefore 1t will
devolve upon the Cleveland people
to make choice between farms.
Daubert year before last was
with the Marion, Ohio, club. Armour
took Pete Lister, year ago in
preference to him. When final de ..
cision is reached It may be that
Lister will be found headed for
Nashville to take the place left
vacant by the going of Daubert to
Toledo.
II Daubert does go on the job
at Toledo, he will be in a league
where the majority of the first
basemen are getting dangerously
close to the "seer and yellow" of
baseball aIge. He and the st. Paul
first baseman are likely to be the
only new ones in the league.-State

LEAVES HOME FOR LOVER
New Life Proves a Hollow
One.
Woman Returns Only to Find Door
Closed-Child's Mind Affected by
Grip Results in Reunion.

That the heart which cannot be
touched by the sobb'ngd Of a little
child, is made of stone, was proven
in one of the homes of the city
within the last day or two. Bus
In this instance the heart was
touched and the result is that in
stead of an estransement at this
happy Christmas tide, there g this
evening an united family.
1t all came obout in this way.
Some time ago, the mother became
dissatisfied with her domestic sur
roundings and determined to quit
them. Accordingly she gathered up
her skirts and took her departure
for another city. At the same time
man disappeared and it was hint
ed that the destination OF one was
also the objective point of the
Tother. A few days or weeks OF
separation from those who were held
by the ties of blood. sufficed for
the dissatisfied woman and she de-
termined to play the part of the
prodigal and return to her fathers
house. Unlike the return of the
orring one as told in the scriptures
there was no falling on the neck,
no placing the ring upon the finger,
no bringing out the choicest robes
and mo Staying Of the fatted calf,
upon her return, but on the con-
trary the door of the parental dom
icile was closed against her and
behind that door was housed the
little daughter whom she had de-
serted when she went away. The
child longed for the loving embrace
of the mothers arms and when she
learned that admittance had been
refused her. she became very
melancholy. Day after day she would
sit weeping, pleading with her
grandparents TO take her mamma
back. Her dolls and other girlhood
toys were forgotten; the association
of children of her age and inclina-
tions was Stunned and instead OF
being a light hearted little girl, she
became an aged woman. Worry
brought on sickness and a physician
was called. It was plain that the
trouble was mot such as could be
reached with remedies such as the

 late.
 The rich man was there. but his money Had melted and vanished away; 4 pauper he stood at the Judgment His debts were too heavy to pay. The great man was there, but his greatness, When death came, was left far behind; The angel that carried the records No trace of his greatness could md The widow was there and the orphan; God heard and remembered their cries No sorrow in Heaven forever, God wiped all the tears from their eyes.
