TRAINING TOMATOES.
Method by Which the Fruit Can Be
Kept from Rotting.

The best method | ever tried Is to
train them to a stake. This is a safe.
guard against rot, as it keeps the fruit
off the ground. l cut stakes from sap
lings 2h inches in diameter and five
to six feet long, choosing those with
small branches all the way up. The
branches are left about four inches
long.
Stake the plants as you have time
after they are set out. When they are
one foot tall tie them to the stakes
with good, strong twine, and with
some assistance later on they will find
support and cling to the branches Oc.
casionally, continues the writer in
Farm and Home, some will not take
hold. and you will have to tie them
higher on the stake.
This plan could not be followed In
field cultivation but in a small family
garden 1t works like a charm. They
should be given continuous cultivation
all through the season If you want
plenty Of fruit.

ANrI-cANNon RgRuRLIcANs.

Feeling is so bitter against Uncle
Joe" Cannon in the west that in a
dozen districts in Wisconsin. Ne
braska. Kansas and other states repub'
lican candidates for congress have
pledged themselves not to vote for
him for speaker of the next house.
Some of them must be secretly pray
ing that he will not be reelected, SO
that they may be spared the embar-
RAISING duty of opposing him when the
sixty-first congress meets.
If Mr.. Cannon is reelected next
month and the republicans carry the
next house he can have the speaker
ship again if he wants it, and he has
said and done nothing to show that he
does not want it. The republican or
ganization of the house is back of him
At the short session this winter he
will have plenty of opportunities to
make a certainty doubly certain. The
prospect of being obliged to seek ia
vors of a speaker whom they tried to
defeat and who has the disposal OF
committee assignments and the power
to block their bills must make the
anti-Cannon candidates deplore the
prejudices of their constituents.
Representative E. c. Ellis, of Kan
sas City, who is on the Rivers and
HarbOrS CommlCtee, seems 10 tnlnk
that he has prepared clever way out
of the difficulty. In a letter to the

WORLD SERIES
STARTS TODAY
Cubs and Tigers to Play the
First Game at Detroit.
BY c. 8. Jacobs.

The long fight for the honors in
the two big leagues is at an end and
again the Cubs will endeavor to avoid
the terrible claws of the Tigers, and
we predict that 1t will not be the easy
task it was last year. True, the bet
ting will no doubt be ten to six or
seven on the Cubs, but the short end
in these baseball struggles so often
lands the coin that Detroit will have
plenty of hackers.
By the way, do local sports and fans
realize that during the past season the
Pirates beat the Cubs twelve out OF
twenty-five games, the Maps of Cleve-
land licking the Tigers Is out of %?
But the game today will not be the
fiuke of the first game of the series
last year when stage fright on the
part of that wonderfully developed
youngster Schmidt, who allowed a
third strike to get away from him in
the ninth inning, allowing the Cubs to
tie and take the starch out of the
entire team, throwing them off their
stride for the entire series, as Jen-
nings told the writer after the series
was over.
Detroit has five men hitting at a
800 clip, but their pitchers are rather
shot to pieces, and so in the box
bach, Pfeister and Fraser. has the best
of the argument but it remains to be
seen what Matty Mcintyre. Ty Cobb
'Wahoo' Sam Crawford, big Claude
Rossman and Germany" Schaefer
will do with the stick.
What slab artists will face each
other today is the questions in the
minds of a million or so fans this
morning. Brown worked last Sunday
and again on Thursday and it is very
doubtful whether Chance will hurl the
miner again this week into the fras.
Wild Bill Donovan won the pennant
for the Tigers at Chicago Tuesday
and will probably be saved for Brown
Sunday at Chicago. The writer rath-
er picks Reulbach for the cubs against
either Killian or Mullin, the former
pitching two-hit game against the
White Sox at Chicago last Sunday
and showing his return to form. Jen-
nings has Willetts, Summers. too, in
good trim.
The entire country is awaiting the
first struggle today and the local fans
will be able to almost see the game
this afternoon at the Elks' Club.

called OFF in every detail, starting at

WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAID
Historian Writes Of Origin of the
Legend of Parched Intervals.

Having been for many years a delv-
er in the history and traditions of
our southern states, feel myself quail
flied to contribute something to the
discussion raised by your correspond
ent, Mr.. Chambers, in his letter OF
Sept. 9. Governor Moorhead and
Governor Vance. of North Carolina.
are credited with originating the tip
piers signal: Its a long time be-
tween drinks" Another story has 1t
that it was not a governor at all, but
Judge AedanuS Burke, a hearty old
Irishman, who was a judge in South
Carolina during and just after the
Revolution.
There is also legend, unsupported
by dates or authority, but to be found
in old chronicles, that early in the
nineteenth century, some such incl
dent as this occurred:
The governor of South Carolina is
sued requisition for the return of a
fugitive in hiding in North Carolina
The governor of North Carolina hest
, tated, as the fugitive had many power
full friends, whereupon, becoming i'm
patient, the governor of South Caro-
| lima with huge retinue, went to Raj
eigh and waited on his Official brother.
The governor of North Carolina rose
to the social requirements of the oc-
casion and provided a great banquet.
At the end of it the governor OF
South Carolina rose at the table and
stated his errand. The governor OF
North Carolina was greatly embarrass-
ed, and failing TO get a reply, the gov
ernor of South Carolina grew very an
CRY. Sir" he said, You have refused
my just demands and offended the
dignity of my office If yon persist in
your refusal I will return. sir. to my
capital and call out the militia of my
state and take the fugitive by force
of arms. Governor, what do you say?"
All eyes were turned upon the gov.
ernor Of North Carolina as again the
governor of South Carolina demand
ed: What does the governor OF
North Carolina say?"
The governor of North Carolina
slowly arose and deliberately replied
az say. governor, that it is a Ions
| time between drinks"
| The visitors were, so tradition ye'
ports, taken with a great escort tC
the state line and the fugitive was
never surrendered.
