Several
Stars Will Be Added TO
Uniontown's List of
Players. n

In the next few days several stars
wfll be added to the list of Union
town players. Men. a Masontown
boy. win be given trial at irst,
Neff is finished college player and
undoubtedly plays the initial sack
in good style. Negotiations have al
so been opened for Ben Montgomery
and it is probable that he viii take
his turn on the receiving end Of the.
battery the coming season. With
the addition Of Miller and Mem the
Iinfieid will be one Of the best in the
circuit. In all probability the out
field will remain. the same with the
three old reliables, Rudolph, Roberts
and Phillips doing stunts in the
outer garden. The pitching stan
will be strengthened and at the
opening of the season Uniontown
will have at least four twirlers who
will produce the goods. n

The article in the Brookport Eagle
this week was prompted by Jealousy
and due. too, to a sad lack of inform
alton. 1t charges The Sun with doing
all II can to harm Paducah, Brook
port and Southern Illinois, when The
Sun is like all other loyal. pulling
lfor-Paducah folk, doing all 1t can
both for Paducah and its good neigh
Dor, Brookport. The Sun long ago
set up a fight for a bridge here, and
equally as long ago came to the con-
clusion that such fight was fruitless
as men who know such things have
always said that Metropolis would be
the site, and should be. The Sun de-
ferred to their judgment and wisdom.
and accepted the situation as II ap-
pears. TIE Suns information is that
the bridge will be at Metropolis.-not
right at the town but within a mile
or so, and its article about the petit.
ton was published as a news item
and not as an editorial expression OF
the paper or wish. for II there was
any prospects of Psducah and Brook
port getting that bridge, The Sun
would be found ready with any kind
Of contribution 1t might be expected
to give, to further the scheme. The
men behind The sun. instead OF be-
ing dlsloyal to Paducah or its inter-
ests can show by the records that
they have probably expended more
for the city's Advancement than the
total assessment of the town Of
Brookport. The editor of the Eagle
is merely deficient in information.
II you can site us. neighbor, to any
probability of bridge for your good
town and Paducah, The Sun stands
ever ready to do anything within Its
domain to assist in what would be
splendid work.

MAN AS A GIANT OF ACHIEVE
MENT.


II is the wrestling with obstacle
and the overcoming of difficulties
that have made man a giant OF
achievement.
IL we could analyze a strong, Wig
orous character. we should find IL
made up largely of the conquering
habit. the habit of overcoming, says
Orison Sweet Marden in Success
Magazine"
On the other hand. II we should
analyze a weak character we should
find just the reversible habit OF
failure. the habit of letting things
slide, of yielding instead of conquer
ing-the lack of courage. of persis-
tency. of grit.
There is the same difference be-
tween self-made young man, who
has fought his way up to his own
loaf, and the pampered youth who
has never been confronted by great
responsibilities that would exercise
his powers and call out his reserves.
that there is between the stalwart
oak which has struggled for its ex-
istence with thousand storms. with
all the extremities of the elements.
and the dollhouse plant which has
never been allowed to feel a breath
of frost or rough wind.
Every bit of the oaks fiber has
registered a victory, SO that when its
timber IL called upon to wrestle with
storms and the fury OF the sea. it
says, II am no stranger 70 storms;
have met them many a time before.
j feel within me stamina and fiber to
resist the fury of any sea, because l
have fought and overcome its equal
a thousand times"

New York, Aug. 2S.-Miss Adelina
Wyekoff. IS years old, employed as a
winder in Ashley & Bailey's silk mill
at Paterson, n. j., has been found 20
be a human pin cushion. Within
three days 10 pins have been taken
from her right arm, and she can not
tell how they got there.
Miss Wyckoff first complained about
a year ago of pain In her arm Her
mother found slight abrasion. but
thought nothing of II. Later she
concluded the girl was suffering from
rheumatism and applied home rene
dies, but the pain continued. Finally
DR.. Flood called TO examine the arm
and extracted headless pin, curved
like a fishhook.
A few days ago. While the young
woman sat in her home. she suffered
intense pain in her arm. She found
a pin protruding and with the aid of
scissors she removed II. More pins
made their appearance on the sur
face OF the girls arm.
DR.. Flood and the FAMILY OF the
girl are puzzled, and are OF the be-
lief that Miss Wyckoff must have
swallowed a quantity OF pins when
she was young.
