Don't rock babies; it tnjures the brain
 Don't tease babies; it will make them cross.
 Don't trot babies; 1t disturbs the whole system.
 Don't romp with babies; it excites the brain too much.
 Don't dress babies stylishly; it Is cruel to adorn a rose.
 Don't wake babies up to show them; they need all the sleep they can get.
 Don't let too many strangers handle babies; it will spoil their disposition.
 Don't put too many clothes on babies in hot weather; it will cause pr1ckly heat.
 Don't forget to give cool water often; it is the only thing to quench thirst and ward off fever.
 Don't put long clothes on any baby; the weight has killed dozens of babies

PRETTY TOUGH SHEDDING FOR
 THE ORATORS

The dgeport-Northampton game scheduled for Northampton yesterday was played in Norwich, which town was holding it's 250th anniversary. The Northampton team is the successor of the Norwich team two years ago, but ther-are few of the old -Rosebuds left. The Larks worked hard to land the victory. The fielding of the Orators was superb.
 Northampton got to Hennig in the first three innings for five hits, one a homer by Bill Yale. Nolte succeeded Hennig in the fourth, doing much bet ter. Hflt at short put up a. very sen- sationa1 game, accepting nine difficult chances without a slip up.
 The Orators made hits enough to win an ordinary game, but Hess doubled up every time a man got on the bags. It looked like a shut out till the ninth, when two Bridgeporters were pushed across the pan. The score:

Wealthy British Subject
 Cleans Out Orchestra
Especial from United Press }

San Francisco, July ITO Hell with the King" sang a more or less in- ebriated musician in the orchestra of a local safe early to-day: The crowd had enjoyed the music and many steins had been sent up to cheer them. Someone had asked for God Save The King and the other musicians follow ed the suggestion of the first singer.
 There was a sudden crash of glass as a table upset. Then the figure of a broad shouldered subject of Edward dashed through the crowd. A stiff English uppercut sent a trombone player sprawling on the floor. A stout English boot went crashing through the bass drum. The other musicians fled and a small riot, in which the walters and guests joined, followed When order was restored the English man was found to be w. F. A. Hood a wealthy citizen of Vancouver, B. C., who had been sitting at a table with several millionaire clubnen of his city. Hoods routing of the orchestra was accomplished so quickly and so complete that the police arriving short ly sfterward found nothing to do. No arrests were made.
