She was desperately gone on them
both. and she couldn't think which
one to choose. 1t was rather perplex-

to refuse.
She gazed at them both in despair
quite puzzled to know what to do. AS
soon as she thought about one she
cared for the other one too.
They still remained under her gaze

cathartics, and altogether too power

A woman at all times needs only
a mild laxative-in fact, none other is

they may be. for the object is simply to

CRACKERS HAVE SOME
 TOUGH WORK BEFORE THEM

Unless Billie Smiths Atlanta team plays some phenomenal ball in the next few weeks. it is a question as to how close to the top they will be when the last sprint down the stretch be- gins on Labor Day. After the Birm- ingham games in Atlanta the Crackers hit the trail for seventeen straight games, three in Montgomery and four teen in the west Of the western games one is a Sunday battle in Memphis on August 29, and one a Sunday affair in New Orleans on August 22. The Sum day game in Memphis ought to be easy for the Crackers unless the Turtles take unto themseives another spurt be- tween now and then-but the Sunday game in New Orleans will be fierce. as the Pelicans are going strong now. The Crackers have a double header in Mo bile on Saturday, August 2s. and from the way the Qulls are going now Col onel Smith is liable to butt into seri- noon. On Saturday. September I. the Crackers have another double decker in Little Rock and as Mike Finn's team Is one of the puzzles of baseball there
 After the Montgomery games in Nashville the Volunteers. have three more games at Sulphur Dell. Birming- of this week--then they dig for string of thirteen games in the west, Sunday games at Memphis and New Or- leans and double headers at Mobile and Little Rock The Volunteers have big advantage over the Crackers. Tn the first place. they have four less games on the road than Atlanta and in the next they are infinitely a better road team than the bunch from Blow vile. With the games in Atlanta. the Dubs have eighteen straight battles on the road. six In the east and twelve in the west. and the chances are that before Molly gets back to the Slagpile on IAabor Day he win have been lost in the shuttle. After these Nashville games the Climbers come home, the Crackers playing three at Capitol Heights, then the dig for the west, but have on twelve scrimmages in that trip, the only double header being at Little Rock, so Greminger's people should be coupled with Nashville, lead ing the eastern wing of this Dixie league, by Labor Day.
 With the Little Rock games the Pel- jeans have i've on the road and ten at home and unless Charlie Frank has them going at a fast clip the ten games will hardly overcome the ham dleap of the seventeen to be played in Mobile games the Turtles have three fin Littla Rock and then only ten at home and the chances are that when the light goes out they will finish exactly where they are at" The Gulis are better off than any of the western push for after the games in Memphis they 20 home for a string of seventeen straight games in Mobile---and if they play any kind of good b2ff at home they should be fighting around the top by Labor Day.

FRATERNAL CONGRESS.
President Piper Speaks Of Tnsurancs
 Ea0AuwA

Boston, Aug i6.-More than 600 del- egates, representing hfty-one frater- nal societies of the United States. were gathered In this city today at the op- ening session of the twenty-third an- nual convention of the National Fra- ternaI Congress.
 Two-thirds of the members were wo- men. According to the report of Pres Ident Piper, the fraternal insurance or- ders. with over sS.0oo. 900 insur- ance in force, have been able to man tain a stand against the old line con-s panies, whose outstanding insurancei was last reported as to total s2,S77.-. 246. .ss1.
 "AIthough not all the fraternals i1 the United States joined the members of the congress in re-ad1usting lnsurf ance rates to the point of adequacy and soundness and although some cheap rate societies were still headed toward disaster" said the report, the discovery of a concerted. covert efHort of the old line companies has aroused the fraternals to a united stand against them"
 Concerning the minimum rates qiiea- ton, President Piper said:
 'Tt cannot be contrRvened that the battle for minimum rate legislation has accomplished much for the saliva ton of fraternai societfnn"

TENNIS AT NEWPORT.

Newport. R. |, Aug. 1s.-The chief feature of the day before the opening of the twenty ninth annual champion ship tournament of the United States Lawn Tennis Association on the Ca sion Courts today with the appearance Of former champion William J Cloth fer in a practice match. and the am nouncement that he would enter the tournamant. Clothier recenfllty sprained his ankle in a practice game at Southampton and 1t was feared that this injury would keep him out of the national championship matches. From his work thus far this season he has been one of the favorites for the honor of challenging William A. Larned of New Jersey, the present champion. Clothier played with T. R. Pell of New York this afternoon and his work showed no indication that his recent sprain had handicapped him any.

NO GOOD H0RsEs.

New York, Aug. 16.-Eastsrn two year olds of this season have proven the worst lot shown in any of the last few years. This Is the unanimous opinion of. turf critics who have watch ed the youngsters this summer and the hopeful stakes of Saturday emphasized the fact.
 As result the Futurity of this year Is apt to have field of. conlenders not one of which is worth anywhere near the price that could be cornmand- ed by Colin or Maskette.
 Many trainers here think that the state of affairs is simply on account of the lack of opportunity to develop the baby racers. In the old days when racing fiourished at several tracks. a good youngster would be shipped from the west to try for the larger purses in the east. With the over-crowded tracks of today. however. when every barn is filled, there is no room for the development of the youngsters.

Washington. D. C.. Aug. fs--In the list of census supervisors sent out from Beverly last Friday night is the name Of George ". Parsons. for the Fourth Alabama district. and he is classel as Q Democrat
 Somewhere between Beverly and The Advertisers big printing press. this name got tangled up SO that ft read -Farrfsops' in the issue of Saturday. But 1t appeared as Parsons in a num- Der of the papers. and 1t is known here that the latter is right.
 If the appointing powers think Par sons Is a Democrat and have inten- tionally credited him to that party they are in error. Mfr. Parsons lives at Talladega. and there Is Q letter on file from him written several weeks ago to Senator Johnston in which he distinctly says himself that he is Republican, and dii not claim to be Democrat in asking Senator Johnston for his indorsement. but put 1t on the ground of being for Sour years Con- federate soldier.
 Although Lawrence W. Lockiin. of Perdue Hill was appointed last week census supervisor for the First Ala bama District. Senator Johnston's mall still includes . letter or two daily from people in that part of the state who would like to have the job.

REWARD IS OFFERED
 FOR PROHI VIOLATORS

Nashville, Tenn. Aug. le.-Attorney General McCarn offers to pay $50 re- ward for the first proof brought to him of a violation of the proh ibition law by a white man on or after August I4, and before the opening of the Grim inal Court on the first Monday in Sep tember.
 This money Is to be paid upon the final conviction of the violator. and the offer applies only to sales made before the dates mentioned.
 The money is to be paid by MT. Mo Carn personally. and not by the State or county.
 Since the adjournment of the grand jury some of the saloon men have be- come somewhat emboldened. but this offer will make matters difficult for them. It will be a rather hazardous matter to sell liquor to any extent when the buyer is liable to give testi- mony against the seller at any time.

 Car Shortage Threatened.
 Washington. D. C.. Aug. 16.-A heavier business than ever has been known in . single year Is looked for by Chairman Knapp of the Interstate Commerce Commission. for American railroads during the present fiscal year.
 not only by Judge Knapp. but by oth- CT officials of the commission and by operating railroad men generally. is that there may be 6 shortage of cars.
 The crop prospects are considered so bright that it Is probable that the railroads and other transportation companies may be taxed beyond their capacity to hndle the freight that will be offered to them.
 Already, according to figures sub. mitted to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the railroads. in consid- erable number, have recovered from the low business pressure of year and half ago and now are handling almost as much trafic as they ham dled in the rush months of 1907, which was the banner year in American railroading.
