1T is my opinion that if Cleve-

there is in the country, but he cam

But had Cleveland held on to him
in 1906 he would have come In han
dy when Bradley broke his arm.
They kept Barbeau. though. and
the latter lost enough games by his
bad throws to lose Cleveland the
pennant. Bradleys fielding never
would have been missed with

They Were Good Eaters,

One day Dl. Norman Mcleod, who
was large and healthy man. and one
of his bury elders went to pay a visit
to a certain Mrs. MacLaren of the
congregation who lived over the Scotch
hills. She was Il frugal woman, but
since she knew that call from these
two meant that they would stay to
supper, too, she determined that they
should have the best in the house. So
she piled the table with jellies and jam
and preserves and shortbread and all
the delicacies of the season, and. the
journey having been long. they partook
unsparingly, and after the meal the
elder said to her:
Mrs. MacLaren, were you at the
kirk Sunday"
"Oh, aye" she said, 81 was"
"And what did you think of the
treatment of the miracle?" The ser
mon had been on the loaves and fishes.
Il thought it was good" said Mrs.
MacLaren.
And what is your idea on the sub
ject, Mrs. MacLaren?" persisted the
minister.
'Losh,' said their hostess suddenly.
"Pm thinkin that if you and the elder
had bin in the congregation there
wadna bin twelve baskets of frag-
ments for the disciples to gather up!'

BUBONIC PLAGUE WAR

terestfng feature of the plague war.
The city employs large force of men
doing nothing but spreading poison
upon brown bread, which is scattered
Systematically In certain squares of
the city. Two hundred men are now
employed. These men are trained in
rat catching and as soon as they are
competent are sent out to work in the
districts into which the city is divided
The campaign is one of education
and meetings of every line of business
have been held and the aid of the
Church federation asked. Teachers in
the public schools have Incorporated
plague prevention as a portion of the
curriculum, and women's clubs even
have inspectors at work doing yolun-

tributing rat poison free. and rat traps
and garbage cans cannot be obtained
as fast as they are required.

The SAUSAGE.

The sausage dates back to the year
S97. 1t has been asserted that the
Greeks in the days of Homer manufac.
tured sausages, but this prehistoric
mixture had nothing in common with
our modern product. The ancient so
called sausage was composed of the
same materials which enter into the
makeup of the boudin of the French
market and the blood pudding OF the
French Canadian. The ancient sausage
was enveloped in the stomachs of
goats. 1t was not until the tenth cen
fury that sausage made of hashed pork
became known 1t was in or near tho
year 1900 that. thanks TO the introduc-
ton into Germany of cinnamon and
saffron. the sausages of Frankfort and
Strassburg acquired universal repu-
tation.

The work of exterminating the rats
