Hannibal Team in the
City.

This morning Bill Annis, secured
from Des Moines by Manager Belt,
signed KeokIk contract and is now
the property of the Keokuk Base Ball
Association. The news announced yes
terday that Annis had been obtained by
the keokuk management was well re-
ceived by local fans. Leighty, who
has played a good game, will be re-
leased, but he will have little diff
Guilty in securing another position as
he is fast enough for the Central Asso-
citation and leagues of the same class.
Burch is expected to arrive from
Springfield and if he is here in time
will accompany the team to Ottumwa
for the games Saturday and Sunday.
Belt stated this afternoon, however,
that unless the Ottumwa management
sent word that the games could be
played the team would not mako the
trip. If the team goes but thirteen
men will go along.
There is still little difficulty con-
fronting Belt concerning Infielder Oy-
ler There has been little hitch in
the salary clause, but after telephon-
ing to Oyler at Des Moines this after
noon. Belt announced that the affair
would probably be satisfactory settled.
Catcher Shaefer has been released
and has been taken up by Wichita.
He will leave for that place as soon
as transportation arrives. Burton will
be retained as utility man.
Belt now has seven pitchers on his
staff including Burch. The difficulty
in wedding them out has been some
what of task and he has not yet de-
cided upon which to let go. 1t ~ill be
necessary to release two of them be-
fore long.
Wilson, who will do the receiving,
is fast and is improving every day. He
is speedy on his feet and has many
qualifications necessary to make him
a good backstop.
Belt has not yet appointed field
captain for the team.
The game with Hannibal today was
called off, although the Hannibal team
was here. The arrangement was per-
fectly agreeable to all concerned. as
the weather Is too cold to permit good
baseball. A workout might prove more
injurious to the pitchers than good.

Rheumatic
aims

MY mother is a great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is,the only
remedy that relieves her.
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Roycefield, N. ].
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they sootlle the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which SO frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create habit.
Why not try them? Get pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

JUGGLING FOR EXERCISE

IT has been commended that the easiest and
pleasantest way to keep in fit condition is to
practise juggling. the art of balancing and
catching objects.
When exercising at home, unmatched by a
teacher one is likely to perform his exercises
in an incorrect or slovenly fashion. thus doing
himself more harm than good; but the SIM
plest feat of juggling be done in only one
way, the right way. Again, where physical
exercise develops only a certain part or parts of
the body. FIVE minutes juggling calls into play
every important muscle. Finally, few physical
exercises train the eve or the hand Juggling
does~both
The mistake the novice IS likely to make is
that he tries to do offhand what it has taken
the experienced iuggler years of practice to &C
complsh. The beginner should of course start
a walking stick on his forehead. or tossing
ball from behind his back over his shoulder and
catching it it falls If one is really fond of
juggling, he may invent his own problems.
Here are few axioms:
1t is easier to balance thing on YOUR head
than your hand.
Up to the point where great physical strength
is required, the larger the object the easier it is
to balance; thus it is easier to balance walk
ing stick on your forehead than it is pencil
One should always look az the top of what
ever he is balancing. Beginners make the mis-
take of looking at the bottom or the middle of
the stick. or whatever is being juggled. Again
when catching things, do not watch your hands
Keep your eye on the object, just as you would
to catch batted ball
In all balancing feats it should be remem-
bered that the shape of the object is imma-
terial. What one has to do is to balance an
imaginary line passing vertically through the
center of gravity of the object. or in other
words. to keep its axis perpendicular to what
ever it is balanced upon.
Juggling is said to be the best and healtaiest
of indoor exercises. because it does not weary
because it develops every part of the body. be-
cause it trains the hand and the eye, and be-
cause it makes for grace.

MEMORABLE among the Christmas Days
Ava of my life is one that began with midnight
mass in the Chapel of the Carmelite nuns in the
city of St. Louis. Up to that time my only
knowledge of the Carmelites was a recollection
of a description of their cloister, the Convent
IN the Rue Petit Picpus in Victor Hugos Les
Miserables." And of that description l
called only his phrase in explanation of the
rigorous rule of the order, There must be some
Curiosity and interest therefore led to my ready
consent when friend asked if would volun-
teer to sing at the midnight mass of Christmas
in the convent.
The cloister was not far from my home, and
the brick wall, rising to height of over ten
feet. that inclosed the monastery buildings had
always impressed me as hiding some mystery.
l was glad of the opportunity to penetrate it.
The experience when it came was uncanny.
We drove to the monastery quarter of an hour

attendant. l learned later that the door was
controlled from within Crossing little in
closure, we reached the door of the convent,
which swung open as though guided by unseen
hands. From hall we passed into reception
room lighted dimly by single lamp. Across
the far side of the room from ceiling to floor
stretched a wooden lattice. draped the in
side with double curtains of black cloth.
From behind this pail sweet. gentle voice
that seemed long way off gave us courteous
welcome. One of our party spoke in reply and

And the little girl leaned over on piano
and cried because she was so happy. l. his time
the man opened the door to let in the laughing
voices. She was asked to stay and join the
romping children. But she hurried home to be
alone with her great JOY in the little hall room,
which was no longer bleak, for she could paint
its walls with shining dreams of future glory.
And what was the end of it alle Not SO many
Christmases after that first the little girl sang
