The Dope on Pat"

Frequently We have inquiries iron,
 the young mans many admirine
 friends in thls section as to what Pat
 Fo.bre is doing in league ball this sea
 son and for the benefit of these We print herewith his record. Since join ing the Western Association young Foibre has played with the Oklahoma City team. He has pitched . games. out Of which he has won T. and lost 5. In two of the defeats he only yielded two hits and in third only three hits. He has also played five games in the field which gives him a total of 2 games played with Oklahoma City this season. Pat Is also leading the team in batting with percentage Of .274. The fact that he is fast developing into a star may be gleaned from the follow ing clipping taken from Joblin, Mo, daily under the caption of
 ..FoLBRE HAS EVERYTHING
 P. Folbre. the premier side wheeler of the Shively league, was chiefly re- sponsible for the stop administered 10 the onward progress of the Fillman penBant procession. This same Folbre was puzzle of the deep and intricate sort. The longer the Miners endeayor- ed to unravel his mystifying shoots, the more befogged they became. Pat yielded up one three-sack swat in the opening round. but that was the only time that he exhibited any ten dencies smacking of generosity. He broke more curves and wider curves as well as faster curves over the plank than any mound artist seen here this season. When 1t comes to making the spheriod describe a tangent or a para Dola or something else equally geomet- -ical as well as unhitable, this slender Irishman Is there with the bells on. he had everything yester- lay. At least nine Miners and some thing like Loo bugs are willing to testify and take oath that he had all of the foolers and pazzlers contained n that baseball masterpiece.

Haynes Va. Holly Grove.

The Haynes ball team ca ne to For rest City last Thursday with flying colors 10 meet the Holly Grove team of whom many marvellous and wonder ful things had been said. First and foremost II had been said that Holly Grove had not been beaten this season. and, going up against a squad with this sort Of record, the Haynes team felt just the least bit squeamish. Not for long. however. because Haynes had on their batting clothes and when the timber was -unllmbered Holly Grove realized that IL was their Waterloo. In the first two innings of the first contest Thursday, Haynes batted out four runs of Guy Robinson and It looked easy
 but the boys from Haynes began to play somewhat loosely with the result that in the first half Of the ninth Holly Grove had the better of the argument by one score ard things looked awful gloomy for our friends from Lee coun- ty. Up to this critical moment ]. J. Hughes, Jr.. had been playing on the bench and from this position of vantage he realized that something had to be done. Accordingly he got into the game when Haynes went to bat ln their half Of the ninth ard, with one Haynes run her on second, batted out 8 nice clean single that tied the score and stamped him the pinch hitter from Pinchville. les, John Hughes had saved the day.
 he was there with the bells on at the sociological moment and but for hi.
 timely swat Holly Grove would have snatehed victory to which they were
 by no means entitled. After the seore
 was tied in the ninth 1t required three
 more rounds for Haynes 10 get iu the deciding run which finally gave them 1 the game by score of s to :. The opening game was full of interest 1 throughout. The slabwork of Herman
 from Wynne being very creditable. Grobmyer's fast work at second and
 the daring base running of both Havens and Grobmyer won the admiration of
 the fans. Haynes took the double header Friday without any trouble, the second game of which vas wound up in one of the most terrific batting rallies ever witnessed on the local diamond. The feature play for second day was contributed by Rube Bullard who made a sensational enchanted running catch of long foul from his position at third which was conceded to be the prettiest stab of the series. We cannot pass without noting the gilt-edged backstop work of Bob Lind sey for Haynes. Throughout the entire series the character of this youngster' s work behind the bat at once stamps him as one of the best amateur catcherS IT this section of the state

FEMALE PHlLANTHRoPlSTS.

Over thirty millions of dollars
were given by women to philanthropy
during the past year. Mrs. Russell
Sage gave more than any other one
person with the single exception of
John ID. Rockefeller. While some of
her gifts are not large they mean
much to some young people. She
recently gave 50, 700 to pay the rent
of the school building of the Pascal
institute in New York city and to
cover the expenses of free vacation
classes for young children. To Sag
Harbor, l.. l., she gave the fair
grounds to be turned into a park
especially for the children. When
the citizens proposed changing the
name of the village to Sage Harbor
she declared that the old place
should cling to its original name.

HOW ISLANDS GET FORESTS
Seeds of Plants and Trees Are Carried
Far on the Feet of Journeyins
Birds.

Darwin explains how islands get
their forest growth IN this manner:
He took from the foot Of a wood
cock a cake Of dry earth in which
was a seed Of the load rust. He
planted the seed, and it terminated
and lowered. Prof. Newton sent
him the leg Of a partridge which
had been wounded and unable to fly.
Attached 10 it was a elod Of earth
weighing 6l2 ounces. lie broke up
the cIod and placed it under "A bell
glass. No fewer than 81 plants
sprang from il. Ii is the more in
tcresting to know that the elod of
earth containing this treasury was
kept three years before planting.
1t is believed in this manner seeds
Of various trees have been carried
and deposited on PARKWAY islands
where the product has grown and in
creased.

COLD STORAGE OF EGGS.

A comparative test of the Ameri-
can plan of freezing eggs to preserve
them with the method of treating
with lime has been made by a scien-
tific French experimenter. The re-
frigeration process is pronounced
hygienically superior. At low tenn
perature, ever when continued sew
eral months, there is no perceptible
change in the taste or properties of
an egg, the yolk retains its position
instead of falling to the lower end
as in lime preservation, and the only
change in appearance is a little
greater whiteness. 1t is necessary.
however, to keep the temperature
about two degrees Fahrenheit below
freezing point, with the hygrometer
as near .S degrees as possible.

TO PACK EGGS FOR WINTER.

Egg are expensive in winter and
though we pay high prices for
''fresh eggs they are usually fresh
from cold storage. Here is a method
of packing your own;
Get fresh eggs just laid, along
about the last of September, Take
a four-gallon earthenwarc jar; put
a tre-nth layer of salt in the bot
to- ihen stand each egg with small
cnd down IN The s9li until the bot
tom s filed. Thou keep on filling
till jar is full. 10 net add any
more salt, for ii will harden and the
eggs will break in getting them out
The salt that is used is only for the
foundation.

CROWN TO HER HUSBAND.

An old-fashioned English stone
mason is employed in a yard in
upper Hoboken to chisel tombstones.
He makes $40 a day as against
1888 in the old country. He lost
his job recently, and there was some
protest, to which the manager re-
piled: "He is a splendid workman,
but he is always getting us in trou-
bic. Why, the other day a party or
dered "a headstone with this inscrip-
tion-'A Virtuous Woman Is a
Crown to Her Husband You see,
he wanted something for his depart
ed wife's grave. What do you sup
pose our Englishman did? The stone
being a little narrow, he contracted
the sentence thus-'A Virtuous
Woman is IS to Her Husband As
we couldn't stand the five-shilling
business he had to drop Hmm.

ABOUT VEGETABLES.

1t is safe to say hal it is rather a
new discovery that vegetables are en-
dowed with qualities which are
Transmitted to those who feed upon
the kindly fruits of the earth. These
qualities are physical, moral and in
tellectual. If we desire to develop
the reasoning powers and to endow
the equilibrium of the mind with
calmncss and concentration we must
eat potatoes, but we must at the
same time remember that overindul-
gence in that succulent root may
produce apathy and Indifference.
Carrots produce good temper and
are strongly recommended to peevish
and bilious people. French beans
the haricotvertofou French friends
lead to d~ay-dreaming and artistic
thoughts and sentiments, and no
better food for authors and journal
lists can be found.-Lady's Pictorial.

important Industry That is Conducted
in the German Town of
Welmar.

Consul VIII l.. Lowrie of Vel
mar furnishes the following infor-
nation concerning the different
stages by which dolls are manufae-
tured in that important German
city. He says:
Only the assembling of the yari-
Gus parts Of the dolls, painting the
bodies, arms and legs, and sticking
on the wigs is done at the factory.
Each figure passes through about 20
hands before it reaches completion.
the raw material being taken to the
homes of the work people and her
returned to the factory. The work
is all specialized, and each time a
new process takes place in the evolu-
ton of a doll it is done by certain
employees who are more or less eX-
perts. Bodies are made mostly of
paper, although kid is also used ex-
tensiyely. They are nodded at the
homes or stamped out in heavy iron
molds at factories devoted entirely
to this feature. All sizes of dolls
are made, from a few inches in
length to more than three feet. The
hair is Angora wool from England,
which also supplies the rubber (elas-
tics), stretched to keep the arm and
legs in place. Styles change each
year and the manufacturers must
keep in touch with the modes.
