In a listless game before small
crowd of rooterless fans, the Brown
les again put the fxings to the York
town delegation of ball tossers by a
score of 7 to 8. Yorktown would
have been shut out again, had it
not been for some boneheaded play
ing on the part of the, Brownies.
'The Flying Dutchman" who pitched
for Yorktown proved easy for the To-
Gals. who pounded him for 8 hits,
three of which were two-baggers and
one a three Dagger. big John"

Taft, on the firing line for the
locals, pitched good game, only
allowing the visitors five hits. Zacha
on third showed up in excellent form
getting several hard chances and not
an error. He also did good work
with his stick 'Possum Bills" hit
made the grand stand sit up and take
notice more than anything else dur
ing the game. Yorktown played as
though they were outclassed and
had no hopes of winning.

PHONE SERVICE FOR McALLEN
Enterprising New Valley Town to
Install Exchange.

Yesterday F. B. Love of McAllen
made tentative arrangements with
B. G. Stegman, manager of the
Brownsville Telephone Co, for the
installation of a telephone switch
board in his store at East MeAllen
and the establishment of an exchange
there, thus giving that live town To-
cal phone service, which is entirely
lacking at present This will also
cause a great improvement in the
long distance service to McAllen,
which up to the present has been of
the now and then variety to the
great annoyance of every one having
to do business over it.
MeAllen, with local and long dis
lance phones, is right in the front
rank of the newer valley towns and
crowding fast upon some of the
older ones. In progressiveness, it is
an inspiration to all.

a four mile walk, but after some ar
gument, he compromised upon a
drink and the promise of another in
forgetting that it was then al
most midnight.
In deep silence he took a long
quaff; then, after regretful pause,
emptied the little that remained upon
the parched earth and handed over
the bottle. With this, the gasoline
was quickly transferred from one car

A CHAPTER OF INCIDENTS.
On the Way by Auto From Mercedes
to Brownsville.

John G. Kelly, the well known pro-
mOter and vice-president of the newly
formed Rio Grande Gravity Canal
Company, narrowly escaped injury
Saturday afternoon while playing the
role of Good Samaritan to his friend,
John Closner. With his young son,
C. B. McCullom and NJ Egan, Mr..
Kelly was returning from visit to
the Mercedes pumping plant when he
received &c. @. D." signal from the
Closner car, disabled at the military
road. Examination showed battery
trouble. which was easily remedied
by Mr.. Egan. While repairs were be-
ing made, however, further trouble
was brewed. Mr.. Kelly's little son
climbed .jip*enhhe drivers seat of the
ClosneI N fooling with the
levers slipped in the re-
verse gea ult, when the en-
CINE was sta4tee Few minutes later,
the car backed up and hit Mr.. Kelly,
standing directly in its path He
jumped, but not fast enough for the
car hit him again knocking him over,
fortunately to one side. The car was
backing directly into the bar pit,
which here is quite deep, and would
have gone over had it not been for
the quickness of Mr.. Egan in getting
to its side and throwing on the emer-
gency brake. AS it was, the rear
wheels were hanging over the bank
when the car was stopped.
This was but one of series of in
cidents and accidents that made Sat
urday Jonah day for automobiles,
Shortly before meeting the Closner
car, Mr.. Kelly's party had laid to to
assist Dr. Roth, halted by a refractory
throttle, which after little tinkering
yielded to the persuasive fingers of
Senior Egan. Next in line was Lon C.
Hills green monster, put out of ac-
ton by stripped gear. This was a
hospital rather than first aid to the
injured" case, so nothing could be
done at the moment to ease the minds
of seven disconsolate travellers, who
gazed longingly in the direction of
Mercedes and muttered harsh things
about the entire family of buzz-Wag-
ons
Then came the near-accident with
the Closner car, after which nothing
Of note happened until within few
miles of Brownsville when the Hidal-
go sheriff's machine, that had been
trailing Mr.. Kelly's all the way in,
ran out of gasoline. The latter had
supply in tank, but no means of
transferring any After a diligent
search, pint flask with strong
smelling reddish colored liquid was
found upon the person of one mem
her of the sheriff's party. The men,

The Politest "CoIoneI."

From the New York Morning Telegraph.
The citizens of Columbus, Ga, claim
that they have residing in their midst a
certain elderly colonel" who unques-
tionably is the most polite man in the
United States.
In substantiation of their claim they re-
late the following:
The colonel, who is distinctively gen.
tleman of the old schools one day exer-
vising a very spirited horse, in order to
get him thoroughly city broke and ac-
customed to metropolitan sights and
sounds, was riding the fidgety animal up
close to all objects which looked at all
scary.
In the course of his ride the colonel
came in rather close proximity to one OF
the big locomotives of the Georgia Cen
trail railroad.
The colonel saw the engineer sitting in
the cab of the engine, and riding up to
him he touched his hat, bowed profoundly
and said:
xviii you do me the favah, sub, to blow
youah whistle, sub? have heah young
boss L desiah to get accustomed TO tho
whistle, suh."
"Why, certainly" replied the engineer,
and turned loose piercing shrek from
the whistle.
The startled horse made quick jump
sideways. threw the colonel to the ground
and broke his leg.
But though the colonel had lost his ball
ance, he had by no means lost his dig
nified poise and Unborn polteness, and
picking himself up as best he could he
made another profound bow to the e.
gineer, and said:
II thank you. sub! I thank your

Although his story of -The Man With
out a Country" was pure invention, Ed
ward Everett Hale managed to give such
a wonderful air of realism to IL that
all his life thereafter he had from time
to time to deny that it had any founda-
ton in fact. He wrote it merely as a les
son of patriotism. BY an accident DR..
Hale used real name when he called
his principal character Philip Nolan.
There was Philip Nolan who was killed
in Texas in the days of Aaron Burr's
conspiracy. There is a strong fasci-
nation about the simple, straightforward
literary style of The Man Without
Country" Every word of it carries con-
viction, and upon laying the book aside
It is hard to believe that one has not
been reading a. record of facts told by
careful and conscientious man without
literary pretenSons. Yet this simplicity
of style. this convincing effect, was not
obtained by DIR. Hale without a great deal
of preliminary labor. It is not a long
story, but its writer spents months of
reading and exploration among the ar
chives and histories of the fimes of
which he treats in order that he might
produce his celebrated story in the man
ner in which it appeared. The story has
been translated into every language of
Europe and millions of copies of it have
been sold In England and on the conti-
