Pretty Close

\ certain elderly lady was in fat1v good position and lived in one of the suburbs of large town. One morn' tng she went to her butcher with . basket filled with wooden skewcrs She told him she had saved thcm-that they had been weighed 10 her as meat aN, that she had brought them to receive their weight back again in meat! r. there a man bohl enough to carry eco1 omy so far?
 Perhaps the mcannesSeS of uadl people are more often actuateu Ia feelings of aNarice than by those oi economy. IL would be difficult, for h stance to find d worse case than tie following: An old man once wrote : letter to friend, and, wishing 10 sa 'e bis stamp, he ordered his servant te take 1t to its address. It was rainiLg and the girl wore new dress that she was afraid of spelling. She looked into the street. saw boy she knew, and. calling out 10 him, she said.

Knew Him Too We'll.

The late President Chester A. Arthur, although he was . man of warm friendships, had high sense of per sonal dignity that would brook no un. due familiarities. A lifelong friend of Mir. Arthur. who had accompanied him on one of his hunting trips, was telling an acquaintance some of the incidents of the hunt.
 II know it's the general impression" <" he said, that Mir. Arthur is cold, self centered sort of man, but 1t isn't true He Is one of the most genial and com panionable of men when you become well acquainted with him | thought 1 already knew him pretty well, but came to understand him better while on that trip than ever before."
 "I suppose you know him well enough now to call him by his first name," ventured the other.
 "On the contrary" was the rejoinder, "I know him well enough not to call him by his first name"- "-Youth's Com. panion.

The object is to check the transferation of moisture by offering A> small q surface as pos sihle TO the dry ;lir For the same rea son the roots of desert plants usually run deep into the soil so that they can suck up all the availab ble moisture. In some instances the leaves assume 6 vertical position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun. On the other hand the leaves of trees in very wet countries are provided with points-Such as the maple-from which the rain drops off. Were the leaves flatter the rain would collect and make them rot.

WORK BEGINS ON
 NEW RAILROAD
MetO Valley Line Will Run, Via Rock Island, From LOnOke Through Rice and Timber Region in LOnOke County to Pine Bluff.

Lonoke, Jan. Tt is an assured fast that Lonoke county is to have another railroad as the work has ,ac- aually begun. The road, however, will not come directly to Lonoke, but as a matter of convenience will run from a point on the Rock Island near town directly south through the rice and timber belt of the county and on tOF Pine Bluff The road will ac known as the Meto Valley Railroad it will run through the Bayou Meto valley. It will serve a long-felt want for the handling and shipping of the rice in this and adjoining counties and development of the rich timber lands in th southern part of the county. The road is being promoted by S. M Savage and E. c. Murray, two northern capitalists who have been located here for some months.
 It is also reported that a road will also run directly from Lonoke or De Vall's Bluff through the southern part of the State and that surveys have al ready begun. Surveys were made for this purpose about years ago, but nothing further has been done since that time until the present. The fact that it will run through a country that is of the richest nature but llndevelcped gives belief that the road will actually exist within q short while

Thrilling Balloon Tony
 Ends Wifh Ebeyy0ne Sabed

Los Angeles, March 2S.-After one of the most narrowing experiences in the history of ballooning, Capt. A. E. Mueller and his five companions who ascended in the big Ferris racing balloon America" at Pasedena last Saturday afternoon, and became lost in the Sierra Madre noun tains, arrived today at Switzer's camp on the slopes of Mount Wilson, unharmed
 The balloon was in the air less than two hours It was carried by the strong north wind over the mile-high summit of Mount Lowe, and swept across the intervening peaks and canyons to the lofty summit of Mount Gabriel. Here ballast was thrown out and the balloon scared away toward Strawberry peak on the third range.
 Crossing this at low altitude the bal loon encountered a strong current of cold air which brought 1t rapidly to earth. A successful landing was effected on the north side of Strawberry peak in what is known as Little Tejugga canyon, about o'clock Saturday afternoon, less than two hours after the ascension at Pasa- dena. The distance covered was less than 15 miles in direct line, but by any pos sble foot route many times that distance The aeronauts wandered aimlessy over the mountain until 1:30 Sunday afternoon, when they unexpectedly came to Colbys ranch, an isolated habitation without any communication with the outside world.
 In the meantime a terrific blizzard had swept over the mountains, and for hours the men suffered from the cold. At the

EARZ y IZNPRESSIONS
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS.

The outfield is very good. numbering as it does three splendid gardeners and three very hard hitters.
 No one criticises the catching depart ment. Raub is a good reliable man, who uses his head and hits better than the average. Kane, last season caught 100 games in the New York State league and he will hit better than the average.
 Raftis appears able on third. He looks the part of a ball player-moving with agility, handling hit balls readily and throws rapidly and gracefully His hit ting, too, will be better than the aver age.
 Concerning the remaining members of the infield and the pitching staff there Is reasonable ground for some doubt.
 But here are the good points-the play CTS, without exception, are young men and ambitious
 There is a world of strength, too, when it is known that every member of a team can run. There will not be a man der favorable conditions, cannot beat out bunt In addition, there is no mem- Der of the team to score whom will re- quire three or more hits.
 There are many other good points It is fact worthy of comment that none oI tne oiu ma4contents ana perpetual soreheads will be in harness this season It Is not meant that all who will not be returned were, in the past, trouble makers. But 1t Is meant that none of the several who wrought discord last year will be numbered among those who play this summer.
 It is much better to see men trying their best, even though they score a fail ure, than to see those who can score a failure because they do not choose to win.

THE ATHLETICS WILL MEET BARONS THIS AFTERNOON Fast Game At West End Against Big League
 Youngsters BAUER AND FLEHARTY WORK FOR BIRMINGHAM VIII Probably Be Real Baseball Game-The Two Line-Ups-The
 Battle Begins at 3:15
 O'Clock.

There is much local interest centered in the game to be played this afternoon between the Barons and the Philadelphia Athletics
 The Athletic team, it is learned, has been divided into two camps, one remain ing for this week in Mobile and the other making a tour of Montgomery, Birming- ham and Nashville. The team which will appear in Birmingham today is composed chiefly of the younger players under the guidance of Manager Connie Mack
 But these young fellows will extend themselves In an effort to cop every game they enter, and the sport, therefore, will probably be more entertaining from a spectators standpoint than if the Barons were to meet the Philadelphia regulars.
 Manager Molesworth will line up as follows this afternoon, and the players will bat in the following order: Henline, left field; Bowen. second base; Moles- worth center field: Raftis, third base; McGilvray, right field; Ellam, shortstop; Kane, catcher; Bauer. pitcher; Fleharty, pitcher.
 The Athletics will probably present the following lineup and batting order: Hoff- first base; Collins. second base; Jackson, center field; MeInnes, third base; Lynch, shortstop; Kocher, catcher: Stowers, pitcher; Krouse, pitcher; Flater, pitcher.
 The game will be called at 3:15 o'clock.

COLLEGE PLAYER
 HIT ELBERFELD

Atlanta, March 23-Leftfelder Bart lett, It has just been learned. of the Uni versity of Georgia ball club, seems to know how to do other things than play ball.
 It was he who sent Kid Elberfeld to grass for almost the count of ten during game with the New York club on Satur- day.
 Elberfeld sometimes takes occasion to punctuate the fact that he is tagging a man with a little too much energy. Dur ing the game Saturday he is said to have placed the ball with great firmness be- tween the ribs of Bartlett.
 The sphere, it Is claimed, was driven into the system of Bartlett much as car penter would send a nail through shin- gle. This was both painful and displeas- ing to the young man, who did not object so much to being tagged as he did to having port holes bored in his frame.
 With a quickness that was unexpected, Bartlett swung for the Kid and, 1t Is said landed left hook to the jaw that made Elberfeld go to the grass.
 Manager George Stallings saw there was trouble due and ran to the field, where he put an end to any possibilities of a fight

WITH THE SCRIBEs.

That veteran southpaw Win Kellum, will be along in a day or so. Manager Bernhard had letter from him yester- day to the effect that he was ready to leave winter quarters in Bay City, Mich, and that he would report as quick as the railroads could get him here. Several ru- mors have been afioat to the effect that Kellum would not return. There has been no truth in such reports. for at no time during the winter has Win held out. He would like to remain in Bay City, where he had chance to buy the club, but when the deal fell through the veteran notified Manager Bernhard that he was ready to report. If kellum pitches up to last years form he will be valuable man for the Volunteers.-Nashville American.

In the practices all the men have shown up well. Gygli, especially, has pleased the fans. He is exceptionally active, runs well and has hit timely and often.
 Little Bowen, on second has been a revelation. He covers a world of ground, seems in good spirit all the time, has stung the ball when a hit was needed, and runs the bases finely.
 Ellam is showing up well at short. He is built like player, covers much ground and throws from every position. Larsen is often spectacular at third and the trouble which he had last season with his wing seems to have entirely disap- peared.
 The pitchers, too, are going finely, though, on account of the fact that they have not let themselves out so far, little of a positive nature can be said con- corning them.
 From the present indication the team this season will be an exceedingly fast one. The Barons will be able to cover as much ground as any other players, will field with the leaders and will run bases with the leaders. But, the chances are, they will hit lightly.
 Molesworth, McGilvray and Henlne will hit round and about 300.
 Raftis should smash at .275 gait. Raub, Kane and Gygl will hit around .250 though concerning the first named 1t is probable that he will go higher. Ellam Bowen and Morris will probably fall below .250.
 But .25O hitting is excellent. Have you ever thought of that? When a mans hitting record is .25O, it means that dur ing the season he has got a safe hit once out of every four times he has been at bat. It means, too. that he has aver aged one hit a game, and when a player does that he has gone some"

All physicians agree that mirth and joy at meal time does much toward digestion. Mirth tingles the whole nervous organism of man, the cells wherein are stored val uable digestive juices, empty their con- tents under the nerve stimulation and pro- mote the highest degree of digestion.
 If gloom and discomfort prevail at table the reverse action obtains and meals become necessities, not anticipated joys.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are little storehouses of digestion which mix with the stomach juices, digest food, retingle the mucous membrane and its nerve cen ters, give to the blood a great wealth of digestive fluids, promote digestion and stays by the stomach until all it's duties are complete.
 If dyspepsia sits at tables it makes the dining room place of awe; these tablets should be taken after meals and dyspepsia of a consequence fees.
 No need for diet or fasting. The dys- peptics who will use them religiously will find no sense of nausea in the sight oi generous meals or in the odor of rich cooking.
 It matters not what the condition of the stomach, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets only improve the juices and bring quiet to the whole digestive canal, of which the stomach is the center.

Jack Reidy, formerly a football and baseball player for several seasons at the University of Alabama, has, judging from recent reports, favorably impressed Man ager Dobbs of the Chattanooga team of the South Atlantic league.
 In the game Monday afternoon between Chattanooga and Cincinnati, which was terminated at the end of the tenth inning with the score tied-2 to 2-Reidy made his worth felt. He led off the hitting and drew four bad ones. When a hit would not come along he stole second. Then he raced home amid cheers when Joe Rick ert smashed one to center. This was the first run of the game, and of the season for Chattanooga.
 Reidy played centerfield, and accepted three chances without an error Gaston and Rickert, formerly with New Orleans, will have to hustle to keep Jack off the team. Manager Dobbs, of course, has cinch for one of the outfield positions.
