Harry Lloyd. who has been secured

Eastern Illinois league this season,
Is one of the best known minor
league players In the country, and at
one time was National league
player, says the Vincennes Sun. He
is now at his home in Paducah, KY,
and is signing his players from that
city. He writes G. G. Gosnell. owner
of the local club, that he will have
a team that will finish one, two or
three and that he will come here
April l. Lloyd managed the paducah
club for several years and was the
only manager in the league who
could get good work out of Gus Bonno,
Wiley Piatt, Grover Land and several
other good players.
The coming season will be Vim
cennes' first in the Eastern Illinois
league, and. while it is thought that
the organization is not as strong as
the 1906 Kitty league, the Alices will
be framed to fight equally as hard
-Danville is also preparing for strong
opposition, and has signed "Bill" Dith-
ridge for manager. Dithridge in 1906
led the Kitty league in batting and
until he broke a leg last season was
playing short for Baltimore in the
Eastern league. All the Eastern iii
rois teams are now being signed and
each city announces that more inter.

Higher salaries are to be paid than
Last year, the limit being $500 where
it was 5000 last eyar. Several teams

His mother had told him what was In
those papers and how her private de-
tectives had toiled for months to
gather them.
Daniel O'Rielly, young Mrs. Thaw's
legal adviser, was present at the last
interview she had with her husband

ing some sort of reconciliation with
the judicially declared mad man.
Thaw listened to the girl and her
lawyer with twitching face and rovins
eyes and suddenly the madness leaped
to him again, and, It Is said, he sprang
upon his wife and gripped her throat.
Dan O'Rielly is a big man, but 1t re-
quired all his strength and the added
strength of keeper to pry the fingers
from the girls throat. She was car
ried into a reception room where she
gave way to Mysteries. At the time
her excitement was said to be duo
to the shock of seeing Harry sur
rounded by gibbering maniacs. Later,
however, when she visited her physi'
clan she related just what had hap
pened and confessed the fear that If
Harry was ever set free he would
seek her out and kill her.
The incident is alleged to have been
brought about by stories reaching
Thaw of his wife's doings during the
time he was in jaiu at the Tombs
awaiting his second trial. These
stories told of midnight suppers in
the tenderloin, of motor trips through
the Bowery and Chinatown, OF slum
ming adventures, yachting trips and
a journey TO Banff, British Columbia
last summer.
BY degrees his mother laid such
statements before him. She was
compelled to break down his loyalty
to the girl for he persisted in de
Tending her and urging that she
should want for nothing and that her
every wish should be regarded. AT
last, it was necessary to show him
these alleged facts in affidavits in
such form as would be attached to
divorce papers. 1t was after this
that he Is said to have choked her and
she feared that he would kill her.
For the past year Mrs. Thaw has
been ignored by the members of her
husbands family. No member OF the
family has spoken to her since Harry
went to the state hospital for the in
sane.
That Mrs. Thaw will go back to the
stage Is now practically assured. 4
misery $25. 900 means nothing to her
now after the way she lived on Harry
Thaw's millions. To an intimate
friend she said the other day:

against the fearful odds is certainly
something to be admired. The farm
ers are fast gaining recognition in the
business world and the Farmers
Union is responsible for it. There was
time, and not very long ago, either,
when to speak of organizing the farm
ers for business purposes would pro-
woke a sheer or uncomplimentary re-
mark from some one, but that time is
past. The farmer has been organized
and he is sticking and he hasn't gone
into politics, either. Of late we have
made it a point to interview some par
ties who have made study of the
cotton market, and they were men of
experience, and they all agree that
the movement inaugurated by the
Farmers Union to hold cotton and
market slowly has held up the price
of cotton this season and saved the

these fellows were smart-they even
admitted that they were-but they
were as ignorant as a donkey regard

Rural Delivery

1--WE letter for your Sire, baby mine"
The old-fashioned custom of hitch
ing up to go for the mail, toiling over
many miles of road, good, bad, or in
Internationally bad-has been done
away with in many farming commune
ties. 1t was thing of the past in
our neighborhood, gone with the
scythe and the dinner-horn almost for
gotten except in out-of-the-way hooks
where the familiar rig of the rural de.
livery postman failed to penetrate.
Everywhere, nearly, the tin boxes OF
the farmers reached out into the
roads, nailed maybe, to the telephone
poles, stuck on posts now and then
aud occasionally deliberately clamped
so a piece of timber which had to be
cut in the woods, peeled of its bark,
aud by reason of its shape curved
over SO as to make it easy for the
postman to reach out of his buggy and
open the box.
There were various kinds of boxes,
the first used being mere galvanized
iron or thick tin receptacles of round
or ebleng dimensions, clumsy to open
and Shut, and with no architectural
claims whatsoever. Then came the
more ornate affairs of later days,
boxes which resembled tiny cottages,
with sloping roof for cover, we'll
adapted to shed the force of the fierc-
est storms, and with a regulation tar
get-shaped signal attached. This sig
nal, If there was any mail in the box
10 be taken away, was raised; if there
was no mail it was down. If the post
man, therefore, had no mail for you
and your target was down, he simply
gave glance at 1t and drove on, thus

worth of work for about one-third
of that amount for a salary. He drove
two wiry bronchos, whose board and
keep must have dug a large hole in
his pay and he had matter of some
80 miles to cover before he had gone
his round from daylight to dark.
| have also waited for him myself
and watched, and by turning my
head to get drink of water, lose him
as effectually as they did. Honors
were so even on missing the postman,
that sarcasm was robbed of its terrors
for either side. My own favorite
stunt was to go out and take the mail
from the bog, 80 as to hand it to him
and save him the trouble of reaching
into the box, and when he gave me the
incoming mail, if there We're two or
three letters | generally got so rat
tied that | forgot the outgoing mail
and only remembered it when l re-
turned to the house.
Whenever Cecile and l watched for
the carrier, he was always late. If we
did not watch him he was invariably
early All rural carriers are this way,
so they told me Whereabouts. 1t is a
popularity of the service. And as
these rural carriers are always in a
hurry, they never stop to "hallo the
house" when they go by. Once when
l was anxious to get a particular news
paper which l knew was in the after
noon mail, and the postman came
with the early mail, l got neighbor-
hood boy to bring it, mailing him as
he rode past bareback on a flea-bitten
gray mare. He brought it, all right;
brought it to his own home, and
never saw it again. That was what
he really thought meant by my mes
sage So l stuck to the carrier after
that, even If l did get the mail later
