A Dainty Dress.

A dainty little house-dress is de-
veloped from spotted dimity. The
model was cut all in one; and the
material over the shoulders was laid
in plaits that sloped gradually to the
waist line from which point to the
feet they fell IN folds and a flounce
decorated the bottom. The sleeves
we're full in bishop style and gath
cred into a deep cuff at the elbow.
A shaped girdle with long ends at
the back gave a natty finish to a very
serviceable dress.

BALL TALK
IS STARTED
Plan for Panhandle Base Ball
League VIII Be Pushed for
Early Organization
tFrom wednesday sDally)


Amarillo baseball for 1908 is still
several months In the future but talk
about 1t has begun and men inter
ested in the game here and in an
Amarillo team are going to push the
Panhandle league idea.
Last year and all the years be-
fore there were one or two good
teams In the Panhandle part OF the
time. Amarillo had creditable
bunch of players much OF the time
last summer and the support given
the games played by this team with
other good teams was ample TO have
made the enterprise successful "
games could have been scheduled Oft
en- enough and with teams good
enough TO have afforded opportunity
for good ball. But Canyon had the
only other fast team in the country
and game after game with the Cow
boys became a trifle ponotonous to
the fans,
Canyon was in the same box and
in order to get games for her team,
the management had to send the
team on long trips which kept the
team away from home most of the
time and so that Canyon fans saw
comparatively few of the games that
their aggregation put up, Teams in
other Panhandle towns last summer
were not we'll organized and were
not able to make a creditable show
ing.
League Could Save Mileage.
Talk of a Panhandle league start
ed too late last year to get the or
ganization actually started. This
year II Is hoped that plans can he
made earlier and the league can be
put into being on safe and econom-
ical basis. Canyon, Amarillo, Plain
view, Hereford and Dalhart, with
Farwell-Texico or Childress for the
sixth member have been suggested
for a six-club league, The location
OF these towns would efiabFe the
management to arrange aHoIplayina
circuit which would give each town
Il
frequent games but which would moi
make railroad mileage eat up all the
gate receltps. 1t might be arranged
10 give Amarillo, as the largest towr
on the circuit and as the stopovel
place for most OF the teams, more
games than any Of the other towns
and at the same time to make some
arrangement in regard to the receipts
that would be just and satisfactory
to the arrangements in the Othel
towns.
Baseball Park Ready for Use.
Last year the management here
was the means OF giving Amarillo
number OF good games but, to ex
press It mildly, the men interested
did not declare dividends--that is
divends OF profits. But the baseball
park secure last year with the fence
and grandstand is in place and Will
few minor repairs which are nov
being made would be ready for use
There has been some talk of chang
ing the location OF the park but this
has not yet taken definite form.
This year the same men are agar
anxious to see the game started bu
they believe that the Panhandle lea
que plan is the only sensible plan foI
baseball here and propositions for al
independents team will not be favor
ably regarded.

Indianapolis, May 21.-Throughout
their state convention, which has just
closed, Indiana prohibitionists made it
plain that they take no stock in the
local option and high license schemes
that have been presented as anti-liquor
weapons. Constant reference was
made to local option as a dodge, sub
terfuge, compromise, etc. and high
license was likewise regarded.
The White Ribboners declared over
and over again in their speeches, sero-
lutions and private conversation that
they will accept nothing but statewide
prohibition. They want no township or
county prohibition; no saloons by con-
sent; no letting up of constant and Wig
orous warfare on saloons everywhere
and the liquor traffic.
The convention just closed was the
greatest ever held by the party in In
diana. Attendance and enthusiasm was
greater than ever before. An observer
to witness the enthusiasm and note the
care with which the convention details
were worked out might reasonably
think that the party really expected
victory at the polls next fall.
The growing antagonism to the sa-
loon and the growth of temperance
sentiment are probably responsible for
the new lease of life now being enjoyed
by the party. Then. too, the attitude
of Governor Manly in favor of law
enforcement and in opposition to the
liquor traffic has tended to popularize
some of the prohibition principles.
The party was in session two days,
listening to addresses, drafting a plat
form, nominating candidates. etc. Many
good men are on the ticket. 1t fol-
lows:
For Governor-Sumner w. Haynes,
Portland
For Lieutenant Observation-Disclosures

Talks.
A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nys.

IN the pauper's graveyard at Coffey-
vile, Kan, lies the dust of a man who
wrote the song. There's a Light In the
Window For Thee"
Rev. Edmund Dunbar wrote other
popular songs, but the one mentioned
above is pathetically associated with
his erratic career in life
Dunbar spent three years in the Min
nesota penitentiary for bigamy and
then became a wanderer on the face
Of the earth, vagabond. He turned
up at Coffeyville and applied at the
city Jail for food and lodging. He died
the same night. Letters on his body
identified him. He was buried in the
potter's field, and his body was recent
" taken back to the home of his child
hood
Factory boy, sailor, student, minis
ter, convict, tramp-that was the cres-
Edward Dunbar, a theme constituted
mostly of minor chords.
When he was q lad working in a fac
tory late at night his mother always
kept light in the window for him.
When he went to sea on a long cruise
his mother still kept the light burning,
and when she died before he came
back her last words were these:
''Tell my boy will keep light burn
ing in heaven for him."
Therefore the song.
On the stormy night Of his death in
a common calabooSe did his spirit, as
it beat its wings upon the battered
cage of worn and weary body, see a
light in the window? Maybe so. AT
any rate, his story illustrates again
Stevenson's immortal tale of CDR Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde"
Dunbar was at one time a brilliant
minister, an evangelist of unusual
power who always struck a sure note
of pathos. But there was bad streak
IN him somewhere. He was sent TIC
prison for promiscuous marrying and
afterward went to pieces, degenerating
into a common tramp.
There are those who believe that
genius is alteration. Anyway, this Is
true of us all, genius or otherwise
We are all doubles. We are both DR.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
In man are both brute and angel.
1t is only the angel that sees the
light in the window.

mon in the vernacular of every day
life, What's the user
Your readers will readily conceda
us one point which practically covers
the whole ground, namely: One mans
theory" about the Bible, about the
Holy Ghost, is just as good as any
other mans mere theory may be, while
each has a right to his own Our
theory" seems to us most practical and
is clearly outlined in the Christian
Science text book, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker G. Eddy. Our critic has the
right to formulate one of his own and
PROFOUND it as he may deem wise.
Astonishing as it may seem, however,
the good gentleman has not told us his
views about the Holy Ghost or about
any other of the vital teaching of Holy
Writ. He has merely attempted to
expatiate on the Christian Science view,
despite the fact he has never been,
and possibly never expects to be, a
Christian Scientist. 1t is quite reasons
able to conclude, in view of this latter
fact, that Christian Scientists do not
struggle in their own tangle "of abb
surd propositions" but that their chief
burden IS the one imposed by adverse
criticism when in the interest of the
public it is necessary to show the con-
trast between that which Christian
Science really teaches and what the
average critic thinks about that teach
ing. The difficulty is we'll illustrated
when, for instance, our good critic in
his latest effort, assumes that ortho-
doxy has a monopoly on the devil and
the Christ. forbidding the Christian
Scientist to mention the former or to
appropriate the latter. The Christian
Scientist, under such circums tances, can
do little else than stand still in the
comforting assurance that his satanic
majesty is not worth having and that
the Christ, in all His infinity, is big
enough to go around"
Sincerely.
