Baseball Catcher chases Jack Rabbit

Keeping in condition trying to run a
jack rabbit down each day is the new

Gibson of the Pittsburg Nationals at
his home, near London, Ont. Barney
Dreyfuss recently received letter at
Pittsburg from Gibson, which reads
in part as follows:
II had a letter from Chief Wilson
the other day. All he writes about is
hunting. He says the quails are SO
thick down where he is that you have
to cut path through them when you
go hunting. Nothing like that up here.

PRESIDENTS HUNTING BOOTS
Footgear For African Trip to Be Made
Over Casts of His Feet

President Roosevelt has ordered his
hunting shoes. They really are boots,
reaching almost to the knee, and the
measurements by which they are to be
made are the most complete ever re-
ceived by a Brockton (Mass.) factory.
Orders were given for four pairs Of
boots, all to be duplicated. Each Of
the presidents feet was carefully
measured. In all nearly fifty meas
urements were taken. By them plaster
casts will be made of the presidents
feet and legs, and the shoes literally
will be built on these The shoes,
which must be absolutely waterproof.
are to have an extra double sole, into
which the uppers are to be sewed with
waterproof stitches.

To Milk Through Water.

Bostonians are enraptured over the
artistic effect of their new subway
signs, which have already been placed
at the various stations of the new sub
way in Boston. These signs, however,
seem something like a practical joke
in one instance. In no case is the word
''street" attached, merely the name Of
the street. At the Milk station the
huge word milk" on a conspicuous
sign causes the stranger to wonder
nightly and then wonder some more
when he discovers that the entrance to
the Milk station is through Water
street

BLOWING IN THE YULE.
Quaint Christmas Custom of an Gid
Town In Denmark

Quaint Christmas Custom of an Cid
Town In Denmark.
Blowing in the Yule from the grim
old tower that had stood 800 yeas
against the blasts Of the North sea
was one Of the customs of the old
town that abide, however it fares with
the Nisse; that know, says Jacob A.
Riis in his article entitled "Yuletide In
the Old Town" in the Christmas Cen
fury. AT sunup, while yet the people
were at breakfast, the town band
climbed the many steep ladders to the
top Of the tower, and up there in fair
weather or foul-and sometimes it
blew great guns from the wintry sea-
they played four old hymns, one to
each corner of the compass, so that no
one was forgotten. They always began
with Luther's sturdy challenge, "a
Mighty Fortress Is Our God" while
down below we listened devoutly.
/. There was something both weird and
beautiful about those faraway strains
in the early morning light of the
northern winter, something that was
not of earth and that suggested to my
chfld's imagination the angels songs
on far Judean hills. Even now, after
all these years, the memory of it does
that. 1t could not have been because
the music was so rare, for the band
was made up of small storekeepers
and artisans who thus turned an hon
est penny on festive occasions Incon-
gruously enough, l think the official
town mourner, who babe people to
funerals, was one of them. 1t was like
the burghers' guard, the colonel of
which-we thought him at least a gen.
eral because of the huge brass sword
he trailed when he marched at the
head of his men-was the town tailor,
a very small but very martial man.
But, whether Or no. it was beautiful.
l have never heard music since that
so moved me. When the last strain
died away came the big bells with
their deep voices that sang far out
over field and heath, and our Yule was
fairly under way.

TO HELP INJURED AUTOlSTS.
First Aid Society of Automobile Girls
Formed In Denver.

= OfmeQ IN DenVefs
A society for first aid to injured au-
tomobilists has been formed by girls
of Denver's younger social set. They
have decided that because auto acct
dents are becoming so frequent wo-
men should know what to do when
members of their auto parties are
hurt. 1t is suggested that the society
may become national in its scope.
Among those who are attending the
lecture given by DR.. William Edmon-
son of Denver are Emma Phipps,
daughter of the Pittsburg millionaire
Mrs. Harold Kountze of the New York
family of bankers, Miss May Kistler,
Miss Edith Thomas and others.
The young women are learning to
reduce sprains, bind up fractured
limbs, make and apply bandages and
stop the flow of blood by scientific
methods. The idea suggested itself
when one Of the girls sustained
sprained ankle. 1t did not receive
proper treatment at the time, and as
result the girl suffered severely.

IF IN COLUMBUS. WHY NOT HERE

There is a hosiery mill in Column
bus which is turning out seventeen
hundred pairs of hose a day. It was
established three years ago in that
city, moving there from Tupelo. Miss,
It's success has been continuous. The
alleged hard times do not seem to
have affected it. 1t has been
steady contributor to the prosperity
of that city. Every week it has had
pay roll, and every week that pay
roll has contributed to the prosperity
of the merchants of Columbus.
Why should not Americas have a
hosiery mill equally as successful.
People will wear hose-except the
few of the "Sockless Simpson" varie-
ty-hoisery will wear out and need
repIenishing, the population of this
section is steadily increasing and the
demand for this article of wear is
growing. AT present the supplies are
mainly obtained from the North. Is
there any real tangible reason why
Americas should not have such mill
helping to meet the demands OF
Georgia and other nearby States.
We need pay rolls. Everybody re-
cognizes that fact. We need them
all the year round Why not have a
hosiery mill?
All over Georgia we find small
industries rapidly growing into large
ones. Have We any small industries in
Americas that are developing into
large ones? If not, why not? Surely
there is no sensible reason why we
should not have them.
We must have factories, industries,
if we are to grow at any more than a
snaiTs pace. The coming year should
not be allowed to pass without our
seeing one or more new Industrial
establishments added to those we
already have. If 1909 brings but one
factory it will be the beginning OF
an era of advancement that will tell
much for the growth of the city. But
we can't afford to sit still and let
another twelve months pass by with
out adding some pay roll or other
to those that are helping to main
tain the city
Will you help to bring this about
Talk it up, think it over, do all you
can to create the atmosphere that is
favorable to new industries for Am

A PURE WRITER HAS PASSED
AWAY.

Donald G. Mitchell, the TX Marvel
of literature, has passed away at the
ripe age of "a. A half century ago
the fathers and grandfathers of the
present growing generation were
reading The Reveries of Bachelor"
and Dream Life" just as their child
rem and grandchildren are reading
them today, for they seem to have
about them a perennial freshness that
keeps them among the books the
world does not neglect. In youth and
in old age they are delightful com
panions, sentimental, it is true, touch
ingly so at times, but still breathing
a freshness, and innocence and pur-
ity, that gives them a bewitching
charm all their own Tx Marvel
contributed to the cultivation of pure
thoughts and tender sentiments in
all that he wrote Life's close doubt
less found him ready to say that not
one line that he had penned had
contributed to impulses that were
wrong, or had cultivated single
desire that was improper. His writ
ings are not what might be termed
great" but they have endured the
changing fashions of two genera
lions, and it is not improbable that
several generations yet to come will
find in them something that sufficient

at some stages of their development,
to keep them from sinking into the
oblivion that is the common fate of the
best sellers of the hour, as well
as of many more worthy but less

dustrial life of the nation now on
the era Of low priced building ma
terial and of abundant and fairly
cheap labor will be over Inside OF
twelve months, in all likelihood, lum-
Der, hardware and all other articles
entering into the construction of a
home or a business building, will be
decidedly higher than they are today
back, many claim, to the top notch
prices of the era of high-water pros
perity before last falls panic. The
man who contemplates building and
does so now will accordingly, unless
all the prophets throughout the land
are in error, save money by doing
the work at once and not putting it
off until there is a demand for labor
in every direction and prices of sup
plies and workmen advance as nat
ural result In this connection the
Ledger quotes from a prominent trade
journal of the West, as follows:
This paper does not often take
the risk of volunteering financial
counsel. Just a year ago, based
upon economics and the times, we
advised those who had idle money to
put it in standard stocks and first
class bonds. We now venture another
bit of advice based upon the coming
end of the era of depression. If you
intend to build soon, do it now. Bor
row, if necessary. whatever, under
your own circumstances, is a prudent
portion of the cost. All the elements
for such an operation are cheap
Money loans at the lowest rates for
years; labor is a little less costly than
it has been for years, much lower
than it will be for long time to
come. The materials for construc-
ton, especially lumber, are very
cheap. Flooring. in most localities,
is twenty per cent below its price
year ago; and hardwood may be had
for the former cost of soft woods.
Build now for your own advantage;
you will employ idle labor, relieve
dealers of their stocks and help
along prosperity for all For such
as reside where the weather makes
present building impossible, the OPP
poftunity may wait till sping, but
surely not much longer.

PAT GROVE IN
PREACHING ROLE
kidnapper of Cudahy Child
Has Reformed.

Chicago, H., Dec. II Pat Grove,
whose criminal career is known
throughout the world-Crowe, the
ex-convict, outlaw and kidnapper-
made his debut as an evangelist last
night and declared to an audience
in Evanston that he had sincerely
reformed. Grove preached verit-
able sermon to an assemblage of men
and women under the auspices of the
w. C. T. U. Reform League, and
grew eloquent in a plea to citizens
of the land to aid in prison reform
and stop the manufacture of crimi-
nails in reform schools and peniten-
tiaries.
Grove, a few years ago lodging re-
volver bullets and fleeing from po-
lice, stood up before his audience and
talked like he meant what he said.
He talked fluently, determinedly,
forcefully and smoothly True, he
explained afterward, he had rehearsed
his address many times before he
undertook to deliver it.
AS he spoke a baby's voice in the
rear of the hall frequently interrupt
ed him. 1t was Grove baby, and his
wife was there holding the child i'll
her arms.
That's my baby making that
noise" Grove explained. Il hope
can live to give it a good education

manufacturers have grown rich
through the assistance of protective
duty They have been among the
chief laborers for protection and have
had their full measure of it. To
stand in the way now of the extern
sion of the protective system, so
highly endorsed and supported by
them, to the farmers who produce the
raw staple is simply equivalent to
putting the country on notice that
protection is for the benefit of manu-
facturers only, that growers of cotton
and wool, and other articles that en-
ter into manufactures, have no rights
in the premises at all The wool
growers, however, through strong
associations in the North and West,
maintain high protective tariff. If
the cotton growers want similar pro-
lection we sincerely trust that they
will get it, regardless as to the
wishes of the manufacturers using
their product What is fair for
the manufacturer of cotton goods is
fair for the growers of cotton. The
whole system of protection, as it has
been Unanswered for many years, is
an injury to the consumers of the
country but if we have got to have
it the growers of raw products are
as much entitled to its benefits as
the men who seek to buy their stuff
cheap, make it into manufactured
forms and sell at high profits to the
consumers by and through the assis-
lance of high tariff against similar
goods made in foreign lands, Pro-
lection should apply to farmers as
we'll as to manufacturers, and to
the farmers of the South as we'll as to-
those of other sections.

The Macon Telegraph holds that the
elemental rights of men are being
trampled upon, and that this is res
ponsible for much of the crime that
occupies public attention, such as the
might riders" and the Reelfoot Lake
tragedy Men whose sense of justice
is outraged are frequently apt to turn
to violence as their only means of
redress. While correcting this ten
dency the evils that have brought
about the lawless outbreaks should
not be ignored and allowed to con-
tinue as incentives to future and
ever greater Iawlessness.
