CHUTE THE cHuTEs" OUT OF


MISSlON-A complaint has been
filed with the police against a num-
Der of youngsters who have appro-
priated some lumber on the site OF
the new Y. NJ. c. A. building and
have constructed chute the chutes'
down which they slide into the cellar
which has been excavated for the
building. They were warned by the
police to desist from that form OF
sport
POLICE KEPT BUSY-During the
past two days the police have been
kept busy answering calls. With all
the required running about, no ar
rests of importance have been made.
Saturday it was reported that Fills
tino Rujino, a street ice cream ped
dler had been assaulted by colOred
man by the name Of Coins. In the
fistic argument the visage of the
peddler was said to have been con-
siderably battered. The negro who
committed the assault was arrested
but the accusing witness failed TO
appear and the man was released.
After the release Of the prisoner the
complainant appeared in court If a
further complaint is filed, the man
will be placed in jeopardy a second
time. as he is a resident Of this city
and says that he is willing to appear
at any time and face any charge
which may be lodged against him.
About the same time that this arrest
was made a bad man made a distur-
bance in one Of the saloons. He was
placed in the municipal bastile where

vOlUBILITY CHAMPION-A short
man, with a long tongue, renowned as
the worlds champion for volubility, af-
ter establishing the new worlds record
for long continued and rapid talking
in the police court of this city, has
finally decided that a fortune is not
to be made in his line in Phoenix, and
so last night he departed for Los An
geles. where he hopes he may find OPP
portunity more favorable. The man in
question was an itinerant dry goods
peddler. against whom a complaint had
been lodged by several people because
Of his impudence and his habit Of
walking in front doors without the
for1nality Of knocking or in any way
announcing his presence. After two
hours Of continuous explanatory talk,
delivered with the rapidity Of Calling
gunfire.l the enterprising salesman was
lectured on the proprieties by Marshal
Moore and was sent on his way. The
day following his arrest and release,
he decided to leave the city, saying,
that as a result of the advertising OF
sales in this city IL was impossible for
him to sell any goods. He calculated
that he had walked forty miles a day
and that he had sold less than two
bits worth of his bargins. Becoming
desperate, he attempted to force his
goods on the public, with the result
that he landed in the hands of the po-
lice.

Living bachelor fashion at the

compelled to seek food and lodging as

Taft divided the White House help"

cottage was begun, so the president
is well taken care of and domestic
affairs at the White House run on
much the same.

second cook" who is legacy from
the Roosevelt administration. She is

Uncle Sam Looks Up Turkish Cigarettes

bite the tongue and have small dark
leaves. The most aromatic sorts are
what are called Marden and Dere.
The country where the best Turkish
tobacco is grown is a low mountain
GUS region bordering the south shore
of the Black sea. The tobacco is
grown, like the grapes, on the slopes
of the hills, and the climate is always
humid. A clear sky and bright sun
are extremely rare. The methods OF
tobacco culture are primitive, and
much is left to chance and nature;
no systematic rotation of crops is
practiced, no scientific fertilizing and
there is little cultivation.
In Trebizond the average yield is
about 800 pounds of tobacco per acre.
The leaves are put on strings, each
quality by itself, and hung on poles in
the open air. Then, when dry, they are
put into sweathouse. A good deal of
the Turkish tobacco is made up in
Hungary for the American cigarette
trade. In one factory in Fiune, Hun
gary, in the last year, 371,O00,0O0 Gig
arettes were manufactured Some of
the tobacco came from Brazil, Java
and Sumatra.

Charlie Doom, catcher of the Phila-
delphia Nationals, is playing his last
season as a professional player. Doom
made up his mind before the present
season began that he would not play
after this year, when his contract with
the Phillies runs out.
Doom has desired to keep the fact
of his intended retirement secret as
long as possible, as he did not want to
handicap the efforts of his fellow play
ers to win this years pennant or to
hurt the club in its efforts to find an
other man to fill his shoes.
While stories of players retiring are
seldom taken seriously, it is known
that Doom is in absolute earnest.
"The stage is not the only thing
that is Turing me away from the dia-
mond," said Doom. my wife has
been urging me for long time to quit
the game and / have a chance next

mant minds, teaching them to think
public injustice and superstition, he
gathered about him so many disciples
and admirers that the government be-
came seriously alarmed. Prosecutions
and ill treatment became his reward.
Not the least of these came upon him
at home. He was married to shrew
named Xantippe, who could not in the
very least appreciate him and who by
her seedlings and beatings made his
life daily burden. He bore all this
with the patience of true philoso-
pher. But worse was in store for him.
The tyrannous council of thirty
whom he had so often assailed had
not molested him. 1t remained for the
popular democratic government (Which
he had helped to restore) to arrest
him and bring him to trial for his life.
He was accused by the authorities with
denying the gods, preaching the exis-
tence of a new God and of corrupting
the young by his teachings. Socrates
Condemned 70 replied in effect
en- 10 that he had mere

stition, and that his only "corrupting"
of the young had consisted in making
them better educated than their IA
Tiers. For doing all this, he claimed,
the city should honor and pension
him.
This speech naturally did not serve
to pacify his judges, who next tried
to brighten him with threats of death.
Socrates answered them that what
ever world lay beyond the grave it
could not be much worse than Athens
under it's present rule, and that the
change could not be otherwise than
benefit. The judges, in rage, con-
demned him to die. He was led back
to prison. His friends thronged his
cell. One of them secretly offered him
means of escape. He refused, pre-
ferring to abide by the courts YER
dict. In the presence of his disciples
he drained cup of hemlock poison.
Xantippe rent the air with cries Of
grief He asked his friends to remove
her from the cell so that in his last
moments he might enjoy in dying the
tranquility she had always denied him
in life. Then, while the poison crept
through his veins, he preached
powerful sermon on the immortality
of the soul, exhorting his followers to
remember his teachings and to profit
by them. He ceased only when death
at last overlook him in the midst Of
his sermon.
Thus died Socrates, first and great
est of the whole mighty army of phil
osophers; the man who, as reward
for leading his fellowmen from dark.
ness into the light of knowledge, was
officially murdered. But the spark he
had lighted was destined to iflumine

Odd Ruling in Baseball.

Here is a problem which is present

Ind: There were men on first and
third when a double steal was at
tempted. The Huntington catcher
threw to third, catching the runner off
the base. While the catcher and third
baseman were chasing him up and
down the line, the third baseman
threw badly, the ball going inside the
runners shirt.
1t went in at the front, where the
shirt was open, and slipped around to
the back, where It stood out like an
immense wen. AS the runner raced
past the catcher, the latter grabbed
the protuberance and touched the run
ner with the ball inside his own shirt.
The umpire called the runner safe,
then reversed the decision. Meanwhile
the man with the ball in his shirt
went on to the bench and the other
runner followed him home.
The umpire, after celebrating,
called the first runner safe because
the catcher interfered with him by
grabbing his shirt, and called the Sec
osd runner out because the base run

nEPRESENTATIV TAWNEY, who
N is chairman of the house appro-
priations committee and lives in Wi
mona, Mimi, read in the morning pa
pers the other day the itinerary of
Mr.. Taft's western trip, and it did not
mention Winona. Mr.. Tawney is the
man who engineered the $4,000 ap-
cropriation for the presidents travel
ing expenses, and he called to find out
about that Winona omission. The
president agreed to put Winona on
his travelling map, not, as he ex-
planned, on account of the appropria-
ton, but because he remembered a
story President Roosevelt had told.
President Roosevelt was touring
the west when he came to Minnesota.
In his itinerary, too, Winona was
omitted. Mr.. Tawney boarded the
train up the line and asked for a
quarter-hour stop and speech in his
town. Secretary Loeb said it would
be impossible, as they were going
somewhere else and had to hurry or
they would be late. Then Mr.. Tawney
looked up the district passenger agent
of the road, who was on the train.
For some reason, not yet entirely ex-
planned, the engine got out of order
when Winona was reached, and it
took the engineer 20 minutes to find
the fault and fix 1t.

Dooin's determination has been

greater than that of any other player,
