 This is just the right time to look over the display of the new style in Spring hats shown at The Hub Cloth ing House, corner of Main and Bank streets. It is a display which is at tracing much attention. It will give you an idea of the new designs, the various blocks and grades and it is not too early to make your selection. You can see in this showing some of the swell, chic styles for young men, the new blocks for the more conservative and the design for the youths.

QUICKEST PLAY
IN BASEBALL
Pulled off by Tommy MCCar-
thy With the Boston Team
Years Ago

What Hugh S. Fullerton. the base
ball expert, considers the quickest
thinking he ever witnessed on the part
of a baseball player, he rccounts in his
article entitled THE Fine Points Of the
Came just published. II is as follows:
The quickest thinking l ever saw on
a baseball field was done by Tommy
Mccarthy the Boston outhelder Of
years ago. Tom Browne one Of the
speediest runners that ever played
baseball, was on second base and New
York nedeed one run to tie the score
Jack Doyle, then a great batter. was
at bat and IL seemed certain that a
base hit by Doyle would tie the score
and perhaps win the game. as there
was but one out and Browne was so
speedy he could score from second base
on almost any kind of safe hit. Nc
Carthy crcpt closer 10 the inheld on left.

with wonderful rapidity and accuracy,
the chances were all against throwing
Browne ont at the plate unless he was
close and the bail came TO him quick
~. Doyle drove hard line hit straight
to the left field Browne went scudding
toward third base Doyle race for first
and Mccarthy plunged forward at top
speed. Tho fielder reached the ball on
It's first bound. grabbed it and without
stopping or looking threw with terrific
force and perfect aim across the dia-
lmond into the first basemans hands
Browne had stopped at third base
Doyle who had turned first with the in
tention of sprinting TO second was
caught standing still ten feet from first
The next batter went out on a fly and
Boston won the game.
After the game I asked Mccarthy
concerning the play, Well he explain
ed Browne is a quick thinker He saw
how hard that ball was hit and knew
he would be thrown out at the plate
unless l fumbled Doyle doesn't think

turn first and stop to see if l was
throwing home. I threw across TO first

GOLD FOUND IN OLD BRICKS.
Walls Of Mexican Adobe Houses Yield
Treasure for the Men
Who Know.

There are many remarkable towns In
Mexico, but none more interesting
than Guanajuato, 'The Hill Of the
Frog" 1t might more properly be
called the gold brick town." for the
houses have been found to contain
much gold.
This is curious situation, but 1t
came about naturally. Guanajuato-
pronounced Wah-nah.wahto--is one Of
the oldest mining towns in Mexico;
but the value Of the place ss town
was discovered when a railroad COM
pany decided to build station there.
It was found necessary to tear down
about 900 adobe buildings, which were
made of the refuse Of various mines
after the ore was extracted.
When 1t became known that the old
adobe buildings would be torn down
pieces taken at random were assayed.
It was found that because Of the old
process, which lost much gold and sill
YER, they assayed from SO to $24 ton.
The mean value was estimated to run
about eight dollars gold ton.
Thelold buildings have brought about
$4,000 Mexican In gold, and persons
who have built since the new ma
chinery has been installed in the mines
are bemoaning the fact that the new
houses do not contain as much gold as
the old.-Scientific American.

MisappIyinq Music.

II went to fashionable Wedding the
other day." remarked a man who has
little time for such things, and was
decidedly impressed by the character
of the music that was played while the
assembled guests were waiting for the
wedding party to arrive. The princi.
pal number played by the orchestra
was an air from one of the most mod
ern operas. 1t marks the entrance of
the heroine of the piece, who is COM
ing on the scene to take part in a
wedding of complaisance with the
hero, who is generally regarded as one
Of the greatest blackguards the world
Of opera knows. Every character on
the stage knows that the Buddhistic
wedding ceremony that is to take
place is a sham and the marriage
turns out to be tragedy Of the shah
best sort. And yet that music was
played in church that stands for in
telligence If any one congregation In
this town does. Exchange.

New Method Of Keeping Potatoes.

A German publication, "The Prac-
tical Adviser in Fruit Raising and Gar
dening," states that a new method for
keeping potatoes and preventing
sprouting consists in placing them on
layer of coke. DR.. Schiller Of Bruins
wick, who has published the method,
is of the opinion that the improved
ventilation by means Of coke is not
alone responsible for the result, but
believes that It Is due to the oxidation
of the coke, which, however, is very
slow one. Coke always contains sui
phur, and 1t is very possible that the
minute quantities of oxides of carbon
and sulphur, which result from the OK
idation, mixing with the air and pene.
trating among the potatoes are sufi-
cient to greatly retard sprouting. Po-
tatoes so treated are said to keep in
good condition until the following
