Baseball in small towns has
always been at a financial loss,
due primarily to the fact that
Sundays and holidays were the
only days for games. A number
of towns have solved the problem
of expenses. They begin the
games at six O'Clock in the even
ing, and there is usually always
time before dark to play nine
innings. The scheme sure plays
hob" with the supper hour;
but baseball is savsd.

them for sprinkling the leaves.

Harriet Walker. of Chicago, a
wealthy member of the younger
society set, astounded her class
last week when she appeared for
high school graduation in calico
gown. D. p Wells, wealthy
uncle of Miss Harriet, does not
believe in women wearing elab-
crate gowns, and more to satisfy
him than to win the $50 which
the Uncle gave his niece, she at
his request agreed to wear calico.
My object" said Mr.. Wells to-
night, is to begin campaign
for more sensible gowns at com
mencement exercises. Too many
poor people spend comparatively
large sums on such gowns. If
everyone could afford it the Gus
tom would be all right. Good
luck to you, Mr.. Well.

Rev. Charles Morris of New

at Alliance, o., last Sunday, that
the world is soon to come to an
end; twenty-five men and boys
not members of the sect, attack
ed the camp with small stones
during a driving rainstorm A
fusillade of stones was hurled
into the tent and the crowd of
$50 present, already worked up
to high frenzy, believed that the
stones were dropping from heav-

then and there coming to an end.

gift" is, no one seems to know,
but they all want it, and want it

The use of dogs on the field of
battle in time of war for the

placed in obscure places through
out the large territory heavily
strewn with thick underbrush
and often most difficult of access.
A dozen dogs were sent away
on the search and five proved so
adept in the find that they were
given blue ribbons, and regularly
requisitioned into the medical

PHEASANTS ARE INCREASING.
saline County Flock Now Numbers
Twelve Birds,

Salina, Kan, Nov. 27.-Mr. c.. Sheets.
who lives three miles east of town, was
decidedly surprised this week when he
ran across a flock of II pheasants.
Three years ago Fred Quincy placed
pair of the pheasants On the farm.
They were noticed about the place for
a short time and then disappeared.
Then not a thing was seen of them for
two years and half until this week.
Mr.. Sheets was greatly surprised to
find the flock has increased from two to
II birds. He had long ago thought that
the birds had left his place or had been
killed
If this rate of increase is maintained
by all the fiocks and if hunters will re
frain from shooting the birds until the
time limit has expired, Kansas ought
to be full of the pheasants in another
two or three years.
