Real Base Ball.

(W. J. hampton in New York Worldly
Oh, take me away from the base ball
game
Where science is at the bat
And the players play
In a technical way
Till a rube can't tell where they're
at.
Where scores are highest when moth
ing at all
And nobody takes base;
Where nobody makes
Any sort of mistakes
And everythings just in place.
Where spectators keep on the watch
for plays
So close that it gives them pain;
And whatever's done
In hit, catch or run
They scream at to take off the
strain.
Oh, carry me back to the old-fashioned
game
That doesn't know science at all,
Where the sides go in
With whOop to win,
And they don't do thing but play
ball.
Where twenty or thirty or forty runs
Are likely as not to be made;
And the bags are hot
From many swat
In games that are played as is
played.
Where the catcher don't look like an
armored knight
And the pitcher is not so intense,
The batter can't hit
EN- little bit,
But bangs 'em clean over the fence.
Where something is doing that sure
stirs up the soul
About every minute or SO,
With the home runs made
And double plays played
And the whole darn thing on the go.
Where grandstand and bleachers are
all of a kind,
And are there because they are
there
To see good game
That's good just the same
Though science be up in the air.
oh, take me away from the base ball
game
Where scientists have the call,
And give me the play
That lasts half day
Hurrah! That is hall: that II ball.

RECIPE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet Re-
markabIe Home Mixture.

There is so much Rhuematism here
in our neighborhood now that the
following advice by an eminent au-
thority, who writes for readers of
a large Eastern daily paper, will be
highly appreciated by those who suf-
fer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound Kargon, three
ounces of compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these we'll in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few
victims Of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief in this simple homemade mix
ture. and in most cases a permanent
cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys, so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons. acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only Rheumatism, but numerous
other diseases. Every man or wo-
man here who feels that their kid
neys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers urinary trouble what
ever, should not hesitate to make up
this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good. and may save you from
much misery and suffering after
while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask for them.

AS train No 13 of the Maine Central
was rolling into this station Tuesday af-
ternoon William Folsom narrowly es-
capped a terrible death at the Main street
crossing Mr. Folsom is 80 years old and
farmer, residing on the Pond road He
entered upon the railroad crossing COM
ing from the direction of Greeley's grist
mill just as the train sped through out
back Of the postoftice. Mr.. Folsom is ex-
ceedingly deaf and did not notice the ap-
proach of the train. Three men and sew
eral school children standing near the
crossing at the foot of Church street see
ing the old gentleman's peril cried out in
alarm and rushed in his direction but
could render no assistance. Mr.. Folsom
stepped into view of the engineer with the
pilot Of the locomotive but few feet
awav Even the rurnbling of the heavy
train did not arouse the old gentleman
to a sense of his peril and he walked
steadily and slowly on, his right foot
leaving the outside flank Of the crossing
as the pilot of the engine passed his heel.
The engineer iammed on the air, although
it would have been of no avail had Mr.
Folsom been one step behind. Then every
body in the little group ct the foot of
Church street gasped while the old gentle
man, suddenly conscious Of the nearness
of the train to his person, gave a sudden
leap forward and, for one of his age,
sprinted remarkably we'll to a safe posi-
ton at the corner OF Church and Main

10000 SOLDIERS
Under Arms and Ready to Fight to
Death for Servia's Rights.

Sofia, Oct. 13.-"There is no cloud or
| the Bulgarian horizon" sums up the
| official view in Sofia of the events that
have transpired since the proclamation
Of Bulgarian independence by Prince
Ferdinand Oct s. The government is
convinced that the chaneelleries Of Eu-
rope will swing to a more favorable
view of Bulgaria's action as soon as
the danger of a general conf1a grafton
is entirely over. The troops now under
arms. including the reserves recently
called out. reach total of 100000 men.
They will be kept to the colors for
another month. pending a settlement
of the existing situation. The guards
or the frontier have been given strin-
gent instructions to keep we'll within
the territorial limits of the new king
dom and TO avoid clashing with the
Turks.
The illness of Prince Boris, eldest
son of King Ferdinand. is the reason
why the members of the royal family
were not present at the festivities in
Sofia yesterday in connection with the
Kings triumnhal entry into his capi-
tai. Prince Boris will go under the I'll
tie in Bulgaria of Czarevitch.
The assumption by Prince Ferdinand
of the ancient Bulgarian title of Car
has added vastly to his popularity.
The representative of The Associated
Press had an interview today with
General Poprikoff, the present minis
ter Of foreign affairs. The general
served as chief of staff of the Bulgari-
an army during the Servian campaign.
He said:
Before the dawn of the constitution
in Turkey, Bulgaria was arming her
self in preparation for a war for the
liberation of Macedonia, but with the
attainment of their aims by the
Young Turks" the situation was re-
versed. Our government recognized
Immediately that it had the most to
gain by the cultivation of sincere
friendship and cooperation with the
liberal regime in Turkey. We cut the
bonds of fictitious vassalage, which in
the past was responsible for SO many
1lsa greeable incidents.
I'VE wish solemnly to declare that We
harbor no hostile designs on Turkey, in
fact the act of Tirnove signaliZes, SO
far as Bulgaria is concerned, the lay
ing of the spectre of a Balkan war"
The report published in Paris that
Bulgaria has sent an ultimatum to
Turkey demanding that her independ-
ence be recognized within three days
has been declared officially to be with
out foundation.

of fish brought to the canneries from

contained numbers OF them, too few,
however. to admit of any extensive

This fish is about seven inches long
and considerably thicker and fatter
than the herring usually used. It is
hoped that the small quantities caught

THAT is sufficient under the federal
statutes" said Mr. Lauterbach. Then
turning to counsel for the receiver. he
said:
"Do you make a demand for the

"Yes, certainly we will refuse" said
