Tor His Gam, Job d Catching

The record price for playing one
game Of ball was handed to Billy Sui.

the Chicago White Sox, few days
ago. by Charley Comiskey, owner OF
the club.
Sully was out of the game with a
broken thumb. which had been mend

Chicago. and the Sex were playing In
Cleveland. In tho next to the last
game there Catcher Schreck suffered
q broken finger, leaving the team
with q bunch of mediocre backstops
for battle which figured big in the
Sox's pennant hopes.
AS soon as Sully heard of the acct
dent to Schreck, he went TO Comiskey
and told him he was ready TO go TO
cleveland, busted thumb and all, and
catch. He went. he caught. Chicago

They are fed with honey until the alb
lomen speedily becomes smooth and
round and so filed with honey that
che skin is transparent These ants are
doomed to pass the remainder of their
ives as mere honey cells, from which
their kindred extract the honey when
it is required. There are several speci-
mems of these ants in the British mu-
seum with the honey still within their
transparent bodies. The Mexicans raid
the nests of these ants for the sake of
the honey that their bodies contain,
and the ants are eaten raw as sweet

FINE PRINTS.
Care VITA Which They Are Treated
by Amateurs and Collectors.


by Amateurs and Collectors.
How careful collectors and amateurs
Of fine engravings are of their treas
ares is illustrated by written agree
ment that a local firm of dealers in
such things had to sign recently when
they wanted to borrow several particu-
larly rare engravings for an exhibition
they were to have III their galleries.
The owner of the prints insisted that
from the time the box in which the
prints were sent to the dealers was
opened in the shop no hands but those
of the junior partner of the firm were
to touch them. The owner stipulated
expressly that the member of the firm
was to take them out of the box. frame
them himself, hang them on the walls
the prints back through these various
stages until a porter was ready to
screw the cover of the packing box on
again. The prints were so rare and
fine that the Junior partner cheerfully
agreed to all of these conditions for
the sake of showing the engravings.
That the prints were extremely rare
may be appreciated from the fact that
before two of them in particular came
into the private collectors possession
he made a special journey to Stuttgart,
Germany, to see them and when he
looked at them he left an open order to

A Historic Settle ment.

The first purely American settlement
west of the Mississippi river was Cape
Girardeau, Mo. Its first settler how
ever, was Ensign Girardot, a French
trader and for some time an officer fl
the French army, who located on the
rocky mountain promontory just north
of the present town. From Girardot
the counts was named. The first per-
manent settler at Cape Girardeau was
Louis Lorlmier, a French-Canadian,
who In 1882 came from the Miami val
ley, west Of the Mississippi. His wife
was a half breed Shawnee woman, and
through her great influence with the
Shawnees he was given a large grant
of land in 1895 by the governor of the
territory. Shortly thereafter the Span
ish government, deeming it wise to
populate upper Louisiana, offered free
lands exempted from taxation to set
tiers. Because these settlers came from
Kentucky, Virginia and North Carolina
almost entirely Cape Girardeau claim
ed the honor of being the first Ameri-
can settlement. Previous settlements
had been largely Spanish or French
Lorimier was counted as the father of
the town, which dates in organization
from 1906. He died in 1912, having
survived his Indian wife four years.
He was buried by her side in Cape
Girardeau on tree crowned hill over
looking the western Mississippi.-Kan
