TOBACCO TAGS BRING PRESENTS.
Tobacco Company Redeeming Tags
From Many Brands.

According to reports from the local
dealers in tobacco more people are saw
ing tobacco tags than ever before in
the history of the giving of presents in
exchange for tobacco tags. This tre-
mendous increase in tag saving is due
to the action of the American Tobacco
company in offering a remarkable list
of valuable presents in return for tags
from various popular tobaccos.

about Mr. Watson's nomination:
THE fight against Mr.. Watson has

he nominated he would be opposed by
the organized labor forces of the state.
1t was further shown that labor's ap-
position to Mr.. Watson was not con-
fined to organized labor. but that I'M
organized labor was also interested.
All this was pointed out.
And now that the republicans have
seen fit to disregard this, have an
nounced by their action that they care
nothing for this opposition, labor is in
a position to continue the fight against
Mr.. Watson No criticism can be made
of this plan From now until election
day labor will do it's utmost to con-
vince the voters of this state that Mr..
Watson should not be elected. And we
believe that labor will laugh last"

needy Confederate soldiers. Fin the dis

many expressions of hot condemnation
of the plan proposed by Congressman

Tie Secretary was instructed to re-
quest Congressman Gaines to do all in
his power to defeat the passage of the
proposed measure. Many of the states
that formerly composed the Confeder-
scy now make generous appropriations
from their Treasures for the pension
ing of worthy and needy Confederate
veterans, and it is the strong sentiment
Of Frank Cheatham Bivouac that they
should continue to do so. and that the
bounty of the Federal Government
should not be accepted.

Six O'clock Folk.

How many of our readers know what
''6 O'clock man" is? Miss Spurgeon,
one of the lecturers in English at Bed
ford college, Baker street, has a cOun-
try cottage and an old ''Ralph's mill''
in the middle Of Westleton heath, Sax
mundham. The other day non-Suf-
folk lady told her that her gardener
wife had often said. I'VE are o'clock
people," and she had taken it to mean
"early risers." But soon after some
one said that this lady's husband was
"a o'clock gentleman" and as she
knew that he didn't get up early she
asked what the epithet meant and
was told, Upright. like the hands of
the clock are at 6 o'clock" Another
use of the word in Suffolk is seen in
living upright'-that is, on independ-
ant Westminster Gazette.

Beginnings of Baseball.

The history Of the American game
dates from the first National AssOcia-
ton of Baseball in New York in 1853
The first series of important match
games was played between picked
mines of Brooklyn and New York. at
Flushing. in the same year. Nearly
1000 persons-a large crowd for those
days-paid their 80 cents a head to see
the contest. The rules of baseball were
very crude in those days. The pitchers
position was simply limited to twelve
foot line forty-five feet from the home
base. behind which he could take any
number of slips he wished. All he
was required to do was to pitch the
ball as near as possible over the home
base. There was no penalty for wild
pitching or for refusing to strike at
fair balls. l once saw n pitcher de-
liver sixty balls to a single batsman in
one inning before there was a strike.
Not until 1870 were there any para
phernalia for defense. Old time catch
ers' hands were n sight with their
cracked joints and bruised palms,

The number of phrases of the class

He Was Wise.

A farmer living in Miami county,
Indiana, found a gang of men putting
up telephone poles through his best
field. He ordered the men out but
they would not go, showing him le-
gal document which they claimed
gave them authority to build the line
wherever they pleased. The old man
looked at the paper, thought it was
lawful, and walked silently away.
He went to the barn and turned a
savage red bull into the sfeld. The
bull made for the men and they fled
at top speed, while the farmer shout
ed after them: ''Show him your pa
per show him your paperY' This story
would seem 10 prove that sometimes
it is an advantage not to know how to
read. Though the bulls education
had been neglected, he did his work
effectively, and it is hardly likely
that the telephone people will proceed
against him for assault and battery
with intent.
