The Children's Friend.

Mr.. c., distinguished lawyer Of
Boston. was on his way to Denver to
transact some important business.
During the afternoon he noticed In the
opposite section Of the Pullman a
sweet faced, tired appearing woman
travelling with four small children.
Being fond OF children and feeling
sorry for the mother, he soon made
friends with the little ones. Early
the next morning he heard their eager
questions and the patient yes, dear"
OF the mother as she tried to dress
them. and, looking out. he saw a small
white foot protrudlng beyond the OPP
posite curtain. Reaching across the
aisle. he took hold OF the large toe
and began to reclte. This little pig
went to market; this little pig stayed
at home" The foot was suddenly
withdrawn, and cold, quiet voice
said, That is quite sufficient, thank
you"
Mr.. c. hastily withdrew to the
smoker. where he remained until the
train arrived In Denver.-Good House

Waterproof Coats Of Grass.

In the tropics Of Mexico. where
torrential rains fall part Of each
year. raincoats are very necessary
part OF mans apparel. Owing to the
intense heat which prevails in the
summer season the ordinary rubber
ralncoat cannot be worn. A rainproof
coat Is made from native grasses and
is worn by the men Of the middle
and upper classes, The grasses are
woven close together, and It is impos.
sible for the rain to beat through
them, no matter how hard the storm
may be. Some of these coats are
made with hood which protects the
head as well as the body.

 Helm has shown up very strong this year. In his first game against Bir- minghan one clean hit and a scratch was made on him, winning by score of to 2. Only five hits were made off him in his Atlanta game but he was sshutout 3 to O. In his game with Nashville Hub Purdue beat him 4 to g. Pretty husky record that. and today not only the local fans but his team mates will pull hard for Helm and the last game of the Atlanta series, both Wednesday and Thursday games being drowned out.
 Manager Ryan said last night that at one time he thought of playing yes- terday anyway but when he looked at the grounds he decided that it would be better to pay the $75 guarantee than to take any chances. It was on a day like yesterday that Ed Greminger sprained his ankle and on just such a day that the manager himself sprained his knee and Spike shannon caught his cold. With a hard game today and a long road trip ahead of him he called the game off.

 Wednesday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of next week they play in Charlie Franks back yard and then comes the big game of the season for local fans, the first Sunday game, and in Mobile at that.
 Four games were to Slave been play. ed in Mobile, but at the League meet ing Montgomery and Mobile swapped dates and instead of the Climbers play ing in Mobile Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May IS, 19 and 20, Mobile plays at Capitol Heights on those days.

MOBILE GETS GAME
BABB,s HOME RUN PREVENTS A
 SHUT OUT.
Memphii and Sea Gulls Had Pitchers Battle But Hickman Had . shade the Best
 nf

Mobile. May 6.--(Special. )--Mobile won from Memphis today and she earn ed the victory. The score was to 1. The contest was the most stubborn yet fought on this diRmond. The ground was in fair condition so far as the infield was concerned. but out where the daisies are supposed to grow. the sttsr noa wss Tansr ncS Tns did nSt balls disturbed the quiet of those out lying districts.
 McIver sprinted through the wet grass after one that Babb lifted high in the first half of the ninth: but when Mclver met the fence he stopped. The ball went soaring over and Babb swung clean around the diamond. being greet piause of sporty Mobile fans. some of whom were parted from their hard earned dough by his feat.
 This was the visitors only chance to score during the game and it had re- ally come to look like a shut-out. The Fishermen made three double plays. Thornton and Sentell each hit a two- bagger and. as 1t happened Massing scored on each of them. owens hit the only two-bagger by the visitors.
 In the first Thornton hits to second and is safe on low throw. Sentell follows with a drive to right which Is checked by Carey, but Sentell reaches the base. Daily sacrifices and both run ners gain a base. The pitcher delib- erately walked Hart; McIver sent HOJ uTlN6 10 CCHWenCk, EW01Cn ne COulu not hold. Thornton came home.
 James hits to Schwenck and gains first. but Sentell is forced at the plate Benson hits to Vogel forcing James
 In the second Massing walked; Hick- man sacrificed Massing to second: Thornton hit a double to right and Massing comes home; Sentell sacrifices Thorton to third; Daily walked; Hart retires the side pitcher to first.
 In the sixth Sentell made a remark able catcls Babb was on first and Fox up. After several fouls Fox got a clean hit and sent the ball flying to left about shoulder high. Sentell started but no one expected him to get it. He scooped 1t In with the tips of his fin- gers and fired 1t over to Hart before ond, could take ~in the play. Maybe the home folks didn't holler.
 In the eighth Benson famed. Mass ing sent the ball rolling down the 1t hit the bag and turned into dia- mond; meanwhile Massing was repeat ing the performance in the opposite the band. He reached first in time to see the ball turn fair. Hickman bal looned to Donahue and stays at home. Massing reaches third. senteii sends hot double to center and Massing scores: Thornton reaches third on wild throwing; Daily retires the side.
 schwenk held the Fishermen down in good style, redeeminfi his weak play of Monday. Little nine assists and having only four hits. no two in the same inning chalked against him. Merryman. who was purchased by Mobile from Montgomery, Is expected here tonight.
 This afternoon Mobile secured an- other pitcher by the purcbas of from Memphis. Stockdale stood seventh in point of individual batting average in the Southern League last year. In individual field five games he is credited with thirty putouts and seventy seven assists
