Rist by profession and hotel
, clerk by occupation is Frederick
Alexander Duncan. of Ponca,
Okla, who stands behind the desk
ut the Plaza from IL at night un-

Constantly In Duncan's pocket

pencil. In half a minute. with a
dozen strokes, he has sketched q

In his duties at the Plaza he
has had the opportunity of sketch
eng some of the most notable peo-
pie In America. Members OF the
Gould, Vanderbilt, Goelet and
Mills families are among the sub
Dects of sketches in his remarkable
collection. On several occasions

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.--Dressing in
a robe of flaming red, with black
trimmings, to represent himself as
the Prince of the Region of Brim-
stone and Sulphur, burning incense
and making weird noises to
brighten his wife, were acts
ascribed to Andrew Blaes in a bill
for divorce filed today by Mrs.
Blaes. The husband owns 100000

While Mrs. Blaes and her hus-
band have lived in the same house

Nv.
A large outpouring turned out, "
as the village paper predicted, to
see the Lisle Sox do battle with
the Red Heifer Semi-Professionals,
and l came near getting that home
run-but not quite.
Red Heifer is rather sporty lit
tie village with a tile works which
shut down for the occasion, most
of the Professionals being
employed in the same when not
semi-professing.
They were all keyed up to wipe
out the sting of last years defeat
by the Lisle Sox, and put in q
heartlsss pitcher. Usually the home
team is supposed to stall so as to
let the bloomer girls stack up bet
ter, but it soon stuck out all over
the Red Heifers that this game
was for blood.
Well, about the only Lisle Sox
that got as far as first was Kittie
Valencia. the Grand Old Lady of
Base Ball. This was because she
always wore her glasses when she
went I'm to bat, and the pitcher had
to throw wild for fear he would
break then and be sent to the peni
Tertiary for 1t. So she would get a
pass to first each time. At the
same time, our finger. Cupid La
Loup, had Just got a unhappy letter
from home, and she was sore
enough to pitch her best article of
ball, and she kept hits scattered
well enough to keep the locals
from tallying.
