Because BSood Is Red.

"How often we hear the phrase,
Like waving a red rag before a
bullp" says a naturalist. ''Yet how
many people know what it means?
"Why should a bull or any other
creature be enraged when a piece
of scarlet cloth is Haunted before
it? For bulls are not alone in
this. Sheep, usually so meek and
gentle, will apparently become trans
ported with rage if they see any
thing of this color. Geese and tur-
keys are similarly affected, the for

tack scarlet clad child.
"But why? Well, the excitement
animals display in such circum-
stances is similar to that caused by
the smell of blood. Here is my the
ory: The color reminds the animals
of blood, an association which in
variably suggests bodily discomfort
and hurt. So they express their
terror by the only means they pos

"But you can bet that's done
mostly for advertising. They do
their acting for the press agents,
and the more hot air is wrote about
'em in the newspapers the better
actors they think they are.
"Used to be actors had to produce

to make the audience think it was

stance, without a lot of electrical
stuff to help 'em out. There's often
more stage hands working realistic
effects nowadays than there are ac-
tors in the whole cast, and some
times what passes for good show
would be just as interesting if there
was no actors in it.
"What is lacking in the modern
actor compared to the old school?"
asked the student.
"Most of 'em amt got the back
bone to be good actors" ," replied the
old man. Can YOU figure any of
these dude society stars pulling off
fierce sword fights and struggles like
Mccullough or Forrest? No, sir,
They amt physically able. And
that's what makes us sick when we

A LITTLE MARPLOT.
Margaret's GuiIeles: Watchfuness
Over a Pair Of Lovers.

oNc' q a'f VI GOsS'S'
On the return voyage of one of
the big liners not long ago were
two little girls, cousins, of twelve
and thirteen years. They got on
beautifully together, though they
differed in disposition and character
as well as in appearance, Sallic. the
elder, being an extremely discreet
little woman, while NIargarct's
methods were distinctly gullelcss.
Sallic, too, was tall and slender and
Margaret a real little ball Of hard,
white flesh.
Both their mothers were too i'll
to be on deck, and when the voy-
age was little more than half over
Sallie descended one day to her
aunt's stateroom with troubled
face.
"Auntie,' she said, 81 do wish
you'd speak TO Margaret. HAest-
ly, she hasn't one bit of tact. There
is the dearest young lady aboard,
Miss Agnew, and Mr.. Phillips is in
love with her, | know. Anyhow,
they wander of by themselves every
afternoon ard are gone for hours.
And yesterday Margaret followed
them and stayed all the time-she
ought to know better
Margaret's mother sighed and
seized the first opportunity to have
it out with her daughter.
"Oh, my fat Peggy, you didn't
follow Miss Agnew and Mr., Phil
lips, did you?''
"Yes, mother, | did," responded
Margaret unfaltcringly. Every
single day they go away and stay
for hours, and | couldn't think
what they found to talk about so
long, and | wanted to know, so |
thought Id 90 and see"
She paused for breath, and her
mothers sigh became groan.
Then she resumed: "And | went,
and they sat down together and
never said word. | stood right in
front OF them and sucked my
orange and watched them. After Il
long time Miss Agncw said wasn't
it a lovely day, and Mr.. Phillips
said how blue the sky was, and oh,
look, there's d sail. And, mother,
they didn't talk about another thing
all the time | stood there, most two
hours, listening hard. Once Miss
Agncw asked if wasn't cold, and
said how could be with my nice
thick rccfcr: Mr.. Phillips looked
cross somehow, bat after awhile he
got very pleasant again and said:
"Arcn't you hungry, Margaret?
Don't you want to 30 and get an
other orange
"'No, don't;,' said |. I'm not
hungry. I've had eight today al
ready
"And then, mother, they didn't
stay there any longer. | saw Mr..
Phillips go into the smoking room,
and Miss Agncw said she was so
tired she guessed she'd have nap"

A Fsmous Poison My.tery.


England had n famous poison mys.
terry in the last century. Two men,
bers of n great club in Manchester,
both men of position and keen politi-
clans, each received, apparently as a
New Years gift, small boxes contain
ing n few cigars of the very highest
quality apparently. Both were taken
fearfully III after smoking, and one of
them subsequently died. The cigars
were found to be loaded with poison,
and It was said that the man who
recovered only did so because he used
a cigar holder. The facts were at first
hushed up, because, as was said, the
suspected sender, whose motive was
revenge on account Of lady, was
man OF wealth and power. But this
subject was cleared, and the mystery
was deepened by the following cir
cumstances: A rich Manchester mer-
chant, travelling one day in a railway
car about the time of the incident re-
lated, got into conversation with a
most agrecably and highly cultivated
stranger. who finally offered his cigar
case. The Manchester man was found
at Leeds almost unconscious and the
only occupant of the carriage. He
grasped in one of his convulsed hands
the cigar he had been smoking. and aft
er analysis showed 1t to be Identical
with the others. He recovered, but
the stranger was never discovered.

After the battle of Prestonpans a

Calls Meehan Safe at First
While Bucholz Scores
PLAY WAS NOT CLOSE
Tigers was Easily Out by
Two Feet.
Mansfield Hits Lucas In Eighth and
Wins -Marion's Lone Tally
Squeezed in--Ketter only Hitter

The Golden Goddess luck In tho
shape of Umpire Iiandiboe was with
Mansfield yesterday afternoon and
allowed the Tigers 10 take the second
game OF the series by score of two
and one. The game should have been
going nyet with the score one and
one.
After Lucas Lad pitched magnif-
cent ball and had held the Tigers to
one hit for seven innings, Tim Flood
opened the fireworks in the eighth
with a single to right center. Davy
and Harmon were easy and then
Bucholz hit one ITO the left field
fence for two sacks scoring Flood.
Anderson was playing in close or the
fly would have been an easy out.
Then Meehan hit little one along
the third base line. Lucas tlelded
the ball and threw to Tate. Meehan
was beaten at least two feet and ev-
eryone supposed that the side was re-
tired but about that time Handiboe,
who was running toward the plate,
turned and called Meehan safe at first.
I'm the meantime Bucholz had crossed
the rubber with the run that won
the game. IL was a heart breaker for
the Diggers to lose. Handlboe never
even saw the pay at first.
The lone count of the Diggers came
in the fourth inning. O'Day walked
and in hit and run play with Tate,
reached second while Hugh was being
retired at first by Kettler and Biery
Kettler booted Ketters roller and
ODay went to third Ketter immed-
lately stole second. oDay was
squeezed in by wilson who was re-
tired from Bucholz to Biery. With
Ketter perched on third, Larue walked
and started for second, Harmon s
throw intercepted him and he hiked
back towards first. Kettler then
started after Ketter who was half
way between third and home. Had
the Tiger run across the diamond and
chased Ketter in either direction he
would have had him but instead he
lobbed the pill to Harmon and Ket-
I.aue went to second 1t was the
dumbest play Of the series.
I.uskey could not connect prop
erly and went out on foul to
Biery.
Bucholz pitched a magnificent game
and had the Diggers guessing most
of the time. Several sharp raps
were given the bulb by the lads in
white, but each time there was a
Tiger ready to eobbIe It In. Ketter
was the only Digger who could so've

these periods and whenever any am
bilious Digger attempted to break
the ice and send one into safe ter.
ritory there was some there to re.
ceive the pill or make a pretty catci
of near hit.
The ending of the game was un.
fortunate. Tate, perhaps, should
have thrown the ball home as he had
time to get Bucholz who was coming
from second on the play but Nee

that there could be any question
