ner all Cnat she loves best. Such
courage as is in her little slender
frame and blazes from her daunt-
less eyes! Yet her success-even
though she daily wins her losing
fight brings tears to my eyes.
1.-THE woman who scrubs for
me, earning her dollar and half
a day on her knees, is kneeling,
not only to her work, but before
an altar wherein lies the Grip
pied child she adores. He can
never grow up-she must know
this in her heart, even though
we talk of what he will do when
he grows strong and well-he is
failing daily, and her eyes know
the truth though her lips still
speak brave lies.
He will live, he is eating better,
his lips have more color, his eyes
are brighter! Yet cas- she lifts
him in her arms at night she
feels that his little frame is daily
growing lighter and his feeble
clutch on life is nightly growing
looser. She talks to me-this
poor mother! this brave, losing
fighter!-of the time when he
will walk, well knowing that the
first step his poor little crippled
feet will take will be in another
world. Oh, the poor souls on
this earth who fight blindly
against the ever-dancing, grimly
stalking Death! :.
"You who are successful in
that you are not fighting your
battle of life against hopeless
disease or a nearby approaching
death; you who lay by a little
each month for a rainy-day fund,
or you who count your wealth by
millions, will you not give the
right hand Of fellowship, share
your sympathy or in some man.
ner cheer the heart of some
proud, courageous, silent-lipped,
losing fighter of your acquain-
tance?--grip the hand of some
man struggling with increasing
expense and dwindling wage?-
write note of gratitude to some
one whose work has inspired
you?
BEST of all, won't you pause
long enough each day to bestow
a helpful thought on the great
and noble army of losing fighters
in this world?"

To The Public.

Inasmuch as my opponent, Mr.
Yarberry, is secretly issuing and
sending out circulars. none OF
which are posted at the Court
House door, the customary place
for such posters, and is by half
truths and insinuations in his
speeches, attempting to deceive
the voters as to my connections
as County Attorney with tn e
Fiscal Court, he seeks to hold
me responsible for the high tax
rate Of 1908, and at the same
time deprive me of credit for the
record breaking low taxes O f
1907 and the present year, 1909,
which the Court fixed at 14c on
500 and $1.00 poll the lowest in
the history of the county. He
also seeks to blame me for every
mud-hole in the public roads, and
at the same time deprive me of
credit for the many miles of good
road in the county. Now that
the people may not be deceived
by such demagoguery, | publish
and circulate the following state
ment, which is signed by every
member of the Adair Else a
Court, which statement shows
that Mr.. Yarberry is either will
fully attempting to deceive the
voters, or that he himself is ig-
norant of the law and of the du-
ties of a County Attorney.
Respectfully,
G. P. SMYTHE.
READ WHAT THE FISCAL COURT
SAYS.
Whereas, we have information
that there is an attempt being
made by certain persons to lay
blame on our present County At
torney, Mr.. G. P. Smythe, for
the acts of the Fiscal Court since
he has been in office. Now, in
the interest of Justice and Truth,
we, the undersigned members
of the Adair Fiscal Court, state
that the County Attorney has no
vote OF voice in fixing the tax
rate, or levying or expending the
road tax, and is not responsible
for the action of the Fiscal Court.
1t is his duty to give legal advice
to the Court and to object to all
illegal and unjust claims. These
duties he has performed efficient
ly. faithfully, fearlessly and with
out favor; and we are unwilling
to remain silent while he is be-
ing blamed for things that we
alone are responsible. We issue
this statement that the people
may not be deceived,

Inc prime of Cobb's life still remains to be reached.
ie mas sprlnted against the fastest throwers in the
american league and he has beaten them. In 1907
johnny Kings arm stopped Tyrus, but last year Cobb
stoie bases on Killing. Cobb is half way to a base before
most runners get a start and the pitcher unwinds him
sen ana he is into a bag before the throw from an aver
age catcher reaches the basemans hands.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb is baseballs marvel.
LaJoie is still the king of all second sackers, at least
SO says a prominent st. Louis baseball critic.
Recently a baseball fan of the Mound City wrote
Billy Murphy of st. Louis, asking who was the greatest
second baseman of the men now playing the bag. Fol
lowing Is the interesting answer:
"LaJoie, Johnnie Evers and Jimmy Williams are the
three greatest second basemen in the major leagues.
Williams was not at his best last season and La
Jo1e lacked a few points of travelling at his top speed
at times, while Evers, coming slowly each year, showed
more brilliancy than either during the race and lacked
but a small margin Of reaching the high-water mark of
the. phenomenal performances by Napoleon Lajoie, who,
without doubt, to my way Of figuring, has a shade on
all second basemen and should be given the palm, with
Johnnie Evers as a close second.
"The most really brilliant player Of the three is
Johnnie Evers. l believe he can go back into the field

playing in close. All three men are wonders at noiuine
thrown balls to get a runner at second. La1oie taxes a
ball and gets it away a shade quicker than the otners'
Il believe that Williams can outplay elther LaJoie
or Eyers on a very rough diamond, equaling ola Jonn
Burdock in this respect. All are clever one-handeo
players.
Either Lajoie or Williams could throw off his glove
and play just as well as ever, the true test OF a Dah
player.
"Oh, tempora! o mores! o mama!
".Ze Grande Napoleon La-wah!' He is the greatest
second baseman of all time. The brightest jewel In the
baseball diadem-gee! that sounds like diamond.
'Iajoie has the best pair Of hands | ever saw in
baseball; right or left, high or low, the most difficult ball
is taken with ease, making the play look simple and
giving the impression Of Indifference; not a move wasted,
and a perfect knowledge Of time and distance; never
hurried, but ever working into a position to get the ball
away; saving wild throws from short; and Lajoie con-
tinues to make the most difficult plays look so dead
easy that one sometimes feels that he has no love for
the great game. A ball is hit like a shot out OF a gun;
with little exertion a hand darts out like the head of a
swapping turtle, and the ball is hooked in by the big
Frenchman, the king Of ball players, Mr.. Lajoie of
Cleveland.

coffee drinking and was on the point
of giving UP my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
Il was telling a friend about it and
she said, we drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and 1t is such a
comfort to have something we can
enjoy drinking with the children,
y was astonished that she would
allow The children to drink any kind OF
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink In the world for
children as we'll as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact.

ball, and this list includes king" Kelly and Bill"
LANCE and Billy" Hamilton and tom" Brown and George
Browne and all the others who could compare with Cobb.
Cobb's purpose is to outguess the other fellow. He
slides where they are not expecting him to slide. He
has nine different methods of reaching a bag and he en-
ploys all of them.
The Georgian can slide head first or feet 1rst; he
scan dive or he can go into the bag from any direction.
He has reached a bag many times this year where
he was not credited with a stolen base. Coob's force
when coming into a sack makes him a difficult man to
get. He may be touched out, but the hand that holds
the ball will be unsteady, and should it linger on any
part of the Georgians body the ball stands little chance
.of remaining in the hand.
When Cobb plays baseball he calls forth everything
he possesses-strength, energy, speed and mind. He
works them all to the limit.
Before the beginning Of the season Lou Criger,
veteran catcher, who was then with the Browns in train
ing, made the declaration that Cobb is a snap and I'll
get his goat"
Criger may have made the remark in an unguarded
moment, as men often do, and he may not have meant
it just as it sounded, but Cobb heard about 1t and began
to formulate plans Immediately.
Cobb's pride was hurt and his reputation insulted.
He went in to get revenge and he got it. Criger's arm
