Dick was very clean little boy,
and dirt disguised him. One day he
found poor little starved kitten
crouching in ditch at the roadside
and he brought the wet. muddy little
waif home with him.
He took 1t to the hydrant and care
fully rinsed off all the mud, but the
shock was too greet for the sick kitty
and the breath o. life departed.
Dick brought her to his mother, who
exclaimed at the sight Of the wet
dropping kitten. why, Dick, what
have you done?''
She was all mud and washed her.
Dick replied. ooh. Dick" his mother
said, sorrowfully, I'm afraid she's
dead" Dick looked shocked and
grieved for moment. then his face
lighted up with CLEAN of comfor,
as he exclaimed:
well, she died clean. anyway

Drove Ten Miles, Preached Sermon,
Drove Back, and Ran and
Caught
Train.
WAS BOUND FOR KEoKUK
He Took Part in the Ball Game Here
Yesterday Between the Bob
Whites and kahoka
Team.

The expression, 81 would rather
sleep than eat" is no doubt very truth
full in many cases while the expression
II would rather play ball than eat"
can also be truthfully used by some
devotees of the sport. An example of
this last came to light Sunday when
it was learned that the third baseman
on the Kohoka team which played here
was Catholic priest who had not
not neglected his spiritual duties in
the least in getting here but neverthe-
less had to go some to turn the trick.
Rev. Joseph Wenhues Is priest in
Kahoka and while he is not engaged in
church matters is loath to cavort
around the diamond with the other
members of the Kahoka baseball team.
Yesterday his team was scheduled to
play in this city and he was at loss
to know how he was going to be able
to make the lineup when the game
started for he had been called to
Chambersburg to preach sermon in
the morning. Matters looked bad and
with his services. At last it was sug-
gested that by quick work he could
make connections and do battle
against the Keokuk boys.
Sunday morning he left Kahoka
for Chambersburg, which is about ten
miles away, in a buggy to which was
hitched speedy horse such as are on
~ raised IN the state of Missouri
When he arrived at his destination he
found the congregation waiting for him
usual. The sermon over he hurridly
betook himself TO ais buggy and
ploughed through the dust, the horse
going its utmost for the full ten miles
which was covered in short time
When he arrived at the livery stable
he discovered that only few minute:
remained for him to catch the traiI
which leaves there shortly after twelve
o'clock. Here is where his trainin:
on the diamond came in, and being ;
fast runner he arrived at the depo
breataiess, but with a look of tri
umph on his face.
He was in his regular place at thir
base Sunday and played star game
It seems that he is an all round player
having played nearly every position o
the team. Wenhues formerly lived i
st. Louis where he picked up the fin
points of the pastime and ever sine
then he has not allowed his spiritus
duties to interfere with his sport c
the field.

the cause Of faith and has lived the
life of priest for only twelve years.
He is a nephew of Father King of Mt.

inally.
He is we'll known around the do
cese of Davenport and has many
friends, not only in Keokuk but in
many other places where he is known,
who are pleased over his promotion
the charge at ST. Paul's being regard
ed as one of the most desirable in the
state.
Father Galligan had not been Ions
a priest before he was sent to Keokuf
by the bishop of this diocese to re
ceive additional training and prepare
ton for his life work from Rev. Thos
o'Reilly. His qualities were soon dis
played and he found many a frient
among the rarishioners OF St Peters
He took an active interest In affair
/ of the church and it was with regre
that the congregation witnessed hi
4 departure.
4 Father Ga1ligan's friends in Keokul

merited promotion which will max
him one of the leading Catholic clel
y gymen in the diocese and state.

WAS MYSTERIOUS
WITH A WOUND
Man Who Was Shot in the Hand
Seemed Anxious to Get Out
of the City.

Quincy Wing: A mysterious strang,
er of good address, who acted like a
gentleman, but who declined to give
his name, called at the residence of
DR.. A. w. Meyer Sixth and Jefferson
street, at o'clock yesterday morning
and asked for surgical treatment.
There was bullet hole through his
left hand just below the thumb and he
urged the doctor to make haste and
fix 1t up, saying he was in a big
hurry.
The surgeon got busy right away
and in short time had the wound
dressed. The early morning caller,
dressed in costly blue serge suit and
looking like he had just stepped out
of band box, was very uncommuni.
cative, when 1t came to answering the
questions the doctor asked him. He
said that he had met couple OF
molders en- South Fifth street, where

him to DR.. Meyer He was as silent
as the Sphinx when it came to giving
out anything in the way of informa
ton as to who he was, where he came
from, how he happened to have bull
let wound through his hand and why
it was that he wanted to get out Of
town on the first train.
After the wound had been properly
bandaged and the stranger pulled &
roll Of bills out, which was big enough
to wad cannon and proceeded to set
tie. Then after thanking the doctor
for fixing him UP all right, he put or
his hat and walked away. Evidently
he left town right away as nothing
was seen of him yesterday. nor was
there any report to the police which
would go to show that any one hat
been shot Sunday night

Ginseng seeds are worth one cent

the ginseng plants have two forks or

This grows direct from the main
stalk of the plant and from four to
five inches above the foliage The av-
erage plant. says writer in Outing,
produces from fifty to sixty seeds, and
sometimes goes as high as 100 seeds.
Wild plants yield better than cult
