the old-time fam Bobby Lowe is one
OF the few ball players who remain In
the big leagues, of the vintage of rhe
early nineties. Once the undisputed
king of the second basemen, though
now rapidly nearing his fortieth mile
stone, he is grand old ball player
yet and, even II the big leagues are
through with him, his complete
knowledge Of the game is sure to find
him some lucrative berth.
Bobbie Lowe has enjoyed big
league baseball career In many re
spects unique. Most prominent Is the
fact that he has played on no less
than six pennant-winning clubs In the
National and American leagues. In
this respect he unQuestionably holds
the worlds record. The list Of cham
pions on which he has been a factor
includes Boston In 1891. 1892. 1898,

by an even larger margin. This time
Cleveland was the runner-up and once
more the Orioles we're plucked, Patsey
Tebeau and his men winning four OF
the FIVE games played. Cy Young and
Cuppy proving practically invincible.
Indeed, 1t was not until the Baltimore
club won its third pennant that 1t

into their first and only Temple cup

no doubt to be injected into the re-

string In the first four games.
All OF which may possibly prove
some balm to those in Detroit who
can't bring themselves to the admis-
sion that the best team won the

CHINESE KITES ARE WONDERS.
One Ingenious Device Was Made to
Represent Huge Centiped.

Probably the most wonderful and
ingenious achievement of a Chinese
kftemaker is designed to represent a
gigantic centiped, says a writer in the
World To-day. This is unquestIonably
the longest and most fantastic amuse-
ment device that has ever been con-
structed for aerial flight From head
to tall 1t measures nearly 40 feet, and
Is made to field up accordionlike. The
fierce large head of the creature, with
long protruding horns, huge eyes and
gaping mouth, forms the front of the
Kite. This is the gem and marvel of
the whole collection and entirely new
to the eyes Of the western world.
Its construction Ia as follows: Elk
tending from head to tail and consti-
turing the body portion are a series of
bamboo sticks running crosswise to
the center, to which are fastened 25
or more pasteboard disks a foot or
more In diameter. These are painted
In circles. Of black, yellow and white,
representing the all-seeing eyes of this
NEUROLOGICAL creature. A tail portion
OF narrow strips Is fastened to the

Twb Bucks with One Bullet.

Jay Bowers, of this city, has re-
turned home from a months hunting
trip In Humboldt county, with a rec
ord of having shot two fine bucks with
one bullet. One was a forked horn
and the other a three-pointer. One of
the animals weighed 1874 pounds
dressed. ....
That two deer had been killed with
one shot was not discovered until one
OF the animals was being dressed,
when the bullet was found to have en-.
tered its right side, while Bowers as.
serted he had shot the animal on the
eft side. An investigation brought to
light the second deer lying dead close
to where the first had been found.
Evidently they had been standing
close together when Bowers shot,

A Russian firm which manufactures
optical goods has just completed an
order for 10000 pairs of glasses to be
worn by COWS. These spectacles are
necessary because the steppes, the

with snow for six months in the year,

BOYS WIT SAVES HIM.

Among the captives of a large band OF New York
Indians in the early years of the Revolution was
boy named David Ogden. He a sturdy lad OF
fourteen. and he captured while cutting wood

because there chance OF things happening

awaited him and the other captives All would
have to run the gantlet outside of the before
they could appeal to the English officers for pro-
lection. There were particular hands across the
sea at that time, white blood much thicker
than water, so that David felt justified IN feeling
trihe blue.
Early morning after a night march the party
came within sight OF Fort Niagara. Hundreds OF
people were gathered before It's weather-beaten
gates. great shout went up as the crowd dis
covered that the approaching party had the maxi

We're quickly made. officers and men rushed out
OF the fort to enjoy the spectacle seeing men OF
their race put through the ordeal. There was such
enthusiasm that even the children picked up clubs
