of Black Ankle. 1t is a section
of the country near the state line
and extends some distance into
South Carolina. This was once
known to be a desperate place;
men were wicked and drunken

This is what we have learned
from others who are older, but
we are glad to learn that Black
Ankle has greatly improved in
religious and educational matters
and men are law-abiding citizens.
Churches and schools have been
established. We have learned
from a citizen of that commun-

two-story school building near
Oakdale church in the near fu-
ture. We are glad to learn all
these good things about Black
Ankle.
Another place like Black Ankle
is in South Carolina, near Isl
mons home, known as Maple
Swamp. Its past history is like
Black Ankle-men were wicked
and lawlessness prevailed-but
it, too, has improved; churches
and schools have been establish

that all such places as these
have improved.

Potomac river. He didn't have
much chance Of going to school,
either, and see what a great man
he became. While he was going
to school he wrote down mum.

two of them:
"Undertake not what you can.

 MARRIED AT DREAMWOLD

BOSTON, Mass, June 30.-The we'd ding of Miss Marion Lawson, second daughter of Thomas W. Lawson, the well known inancier, and James Full Ter Lord, of Chicago, took place today at Dreamwold, the Lawson country home. It was a keen disappointment to society that the wedding was quiet one, with the invitations confined to about one hundred relatives and inti- mate friends of the two families. The ceremony was very picturesque one, taking place as it did beneath an old apple tree in the midst of eleven acres or roses in full bloom.
 The Rev. John w. Suter, of Win chester, ofiiciated. Mrs. Eben Stam- wood was the matron of honor, and the bride was attended by her sisters, the Misses Dorothy and Bunny" Lawson. Following the wedding ceremony the bridal couple and guests adjourned to Dreamwold Hall, where an elaborate luncheon was served.

Wasn't that refreshing shower heat and watching the mercury rise higher and higher, when the welcome clouds appeared But as rain had been threatened for several days only few had faith enough in the coming shower to provide themselves with umbrellas.
 As a consequence there were many pee uliar substitutes. One young man was seen going down the street with large zinc tub inverted above his head. No doubt he had found it imposs ble to "borrow' an umbrella.
 Ladies who had thoughtlessly gone for a walk without umbrellas wer,s com. pelled to seek shelter in shops Or sac riice their beautiful hats.

KELLER MAY NOT PLAY AGAIN.
National Game May Lose Most Scien-
tific Player.

New York, July Tt is possible
that Willie Keller, the right fielder of
the New York Americans. and admit
tedly the most scientific player in the
game, may never again don a spiked
shoe. In the recent series with CIeve-
land here Keller was spiked. At first
it was thought that the injury was
serious enough to keep him out of the
game for three or four weeks. but it
is now certain that he will not play
again this season, and doctors are
fearful that he will never again be
able to go on the diamond. 1t has
developed that a tendon was cut just
back of the ankle. There is little
chance of the tendon healing. AS this
gives all support to the ankle and
makes the foot incapable of service,
it can be seen in just what position
Keeler is placed.
For years Keller has been the per-
sonification of scientific baseball. He
is one of the few men in baseball who
is credited with being a scientific hit
ter and able to place a hit. Many
times he has been a league batting
leader, fast man on the bases and a
sure fielder. A teammate of McGraW
and Jennings, he is about the last of
that famous old Baltimore bunch to
stick to the active game. With Keeler
gone the national game would suffer
a distinct loss.
