the Central Association the coming
season, was in the city for short
time yesterday, coming here ostensi-
bly, for the purpose of getting a line
on certain Quincy players, who, it is
said. are due for slide. Possibly
Hough could take a portion of the
Gems and make them play good ball,
for he IS a good manager and could
get the best out of them that there
is in them. Hough, 10 doubt, would
like line on Pitcher Keyes of the
local squad and one or two others,
but the balance of the team certainly
did not attract him to Quincy. AS
Manager Myers was not in the city,
and he is, according to reports, to
have full charge of affairs, Hough will
have to come back to Quincy or get
into communication with Bellefontaine,
Ohio.

DON'T BE AFRAID
BASHFUL MAN
MistIetoe is Coming in Smaller QUAINT
tiles This Year, the Crop
Having Been stunted. 81

Bashful men who need the help OF
mistletoe to help them in their Christ.
mas wooing had better make their
purchases early or they will find the
supply of mistletoe exhausted.
For some, mistletoe is the greatest
evergreen ever grown With its as
sistance the most backward man or
girl has often made the first advances
in the happy road of love. Longings
which have been held back for years
have sprung into action under its
helpful influence.
The shortage in the supply of mis-.
tletoe is laid to the cold wave which
has been enveloping the sunny south
for the past few weeks Mistletae
does not grow in the cold regions,
but is obtained entirely from Texas,
Louisiana, and the other southern
states. The temperature there re-
Gently has been almost as low as it
has in Iowa, and therefore the ever
green has been frozen and the crop
ruined.
The mistIetoe which was sent to
Keokuk before the cold wave en-
veloped the south, is reported as be-
ing the best raised in the last few
years. The berries are large and
white and the sprays are generous in
their proportions.
Growing high up on the branches
of oak and other kinds of trees, the
mistletoe. which is parasite and can
not exist unless it is helped by some
other tree, is exposed to every wintry
blast which sweeps across the coun-.
try 1t is very delicate. The dearth
in the supply because of the cold
weather is therefore not surprising.

Will Prevent FARMING.

The adoption of the rule. which is
generally considered to be an ex-
cellent one, will prevent farming to a
great extent and will make the scouts
more careful about the men they re-
commend for purchase and draft.
Some sleuths thought they were cheat
ing their employers il every year they
did not round UP from twenty to
twenty-five minor league wonders.
Almost 200 of the players now on
the reserve lists of the American lea
que clubs will have to be turned back
to the minors by May Is. Thus far
there hasn't been any mad rush on
the part of the managers and owners
of the clubs Of the smaller organiza-
| lions to relieve the American league
teams of their surplus talent. Posi-
bly, the Johnson clubs will lose lot
OF money in unloading players.
Quincy Herald: PA" Belt has sign
ed a left handed pitcher by the name
of William Leifield, younger brother
of Lefty Leifield, of the Pittsburg
Worlds champions. He has no lea
que experience, but that cuts no ice
with PA" as developing promising
youngsters is his long suit. Reichle,
Corridor, Prough. Miller and several
others were only average players be-
fore Belt took them in hand and their
work last year does his ability credit.
Old Jake Beckley, the battle-scar-
red baseball veteran, is now raising
chickens on his place near Kansas
City, and Is doing so well that he
is not anxious to return to the dia-
mond. Recently Jake found him
self in need of quantity of food for
the poultry, SO he telegrphed his
order to a firm in Cincinnati. Some
hours later Jake received this mes
sage from the company: I'VE can't
find your name in Dun or Brad
streets. Can't fill your order" The
veteran wired back: Look in Spald-
ing's Guide, you'll find me there.

Pueblo had to sell its franchise in
the Western league, owing to poor
patronage. The town is manufac-

Furthermore it has large foreign
population, which has no interest in
the great national game. The fran
chise goes to st. Joseph, Mo. This
leaves Denver isolated, it being 500
miles from Lincoln, the nearest club.
1t is therefore considered possible
that Denver will have to give up it's
franchise, as the league team cannot
afford to make such awful jumps.

not wear Hannibal uniform the COM
ing season, and the report to that eff

nibal is causing considerable specu-

Should Prout fail to return to Hanni-
bal, in all probability President
Cruikshank will take charge of the
team and appoint field captain from
among the players.

The life of the mailing clerk, the
postman and every one employed In
handling the mails for Uncle Sam,
may be all peaches and creamy al
any other time but it is doubtful If
one of them can be heard singing the
gay little ditty, "Free From Care"
today
The Keokuk post Office is swamped
Just like the Chicago, the ST. Louis
and other larger offices of the coun-
try, which go through high tide Of
parcels and Christmas cards and let
tiers each year from the beginning of
Christmas week until after the holi
days are well over.
The swamp in the Keokuk Office has
been caused by the little greeting post
cards which are received and sent
out of the city by the thousands each
day. Postmaster Moorhead stated this
morning that ten thousand post cards
were received at the Keokuk post Of
fee yesterday and many of these
have not yet gone out of the office,
and the tide OF these tiny pieces or
card board remains high. Each year.
the overflow and congested condition
of the mails occur but the climax
seems to have been reached and even
more cards and packages than were
handled by the local post Office in the
year 1908 are being sent through the
Office during the holiday rush now on
1t takes just so post cards piled one
on top of the other to make them the
thickness of an inch. If all of the
post cards received at the post Office
yesterday, around ten thousand, a
stack of these cards almost seventeen
feet high could be made, or almost
twice the heighth of the ceiling in
your living rooms.

No Delivery Tomorrow.

Elsewhere in this issue is the post
masters announcement, stating that
there will be no delivery of mail BY
carriers tomorrow, but instead, it has
been decided to leave the carriers
windows open practically all morning,
with the exception of the time when
the mail is being put in the cases.
rhe accumulation of mail is so great
that more people can receive their
mail it is thought, by calling at the
pest effice for it.
