Very few fans among the multitude
OF baseball enthusiasts appreciate the
TACT that there is on the Boston Ma
tional team a veteran who has rec
ord scarcely equaied in the annals Of
major-league baseball.
This player is Bad Bill" Dahlen,
shortstop of the Doves and veteran Of
many a battlefield during the last de-
cade. Everybody who has followed
the game to any extent In this period
Is as familiar with the name as with
the mannerisms OF the bad one, and,
while quiet and unassumiDg, he has
had varied experience during his ca
reer on the field. and stands to-day as
a connecting link between the days of
Arson, Lang, Burns, Daily and others
who were dazzling stars In the days
OF yore, with the Wagners. Lajoies
and Cobbs OF cur own time.
Bill is no idle boaster. but has a
quiet sense of humor that just sticks
out all over him, and. when he falter-
ingly owned up that he was no chick.

not far from terror in that stran-

EMOTIONS AMONG THE BIRDS.

Beliefs That Have Hitherto

Little red bird In the tree, sing Q

with bis large collection OF photo
graphs and incidental studies, he has
proved the possession OF emotions by
the birds.
The raising or depressing Of the
birds feathers. the poise Of her body.
the opening or closing Of her bill. and
the expression OF her wonderful eyes
are emotional significators TO which
the professor attaches importance. He
enjoins any owner of a canary bird to

THE little fellow will doubtless cock
his head on one side. raise his crest

Railroads Obliged to Pay Out Millions
Every Year for Damages.

II Is said that the amount paid out
by the roads of the United States in
1907 for freight claims was $4,000. 600
These claims originate from various
causes, such as defective cars, care
less employees and incorrect classifi-
cation, but one agent says that on his
read improper handling is responsible
for about % per cent. of money paid

Another feature contributing very

WHAT is PAINT?

The paint on house is the extreme
outside of the house. The wood is
simply structural under layer. That
is as it should be. Unprotected wood
will not we'll withstand weather. But
paint made of pure white lead and
linseed oil is an invulnerable armor
against sun and rain, heat and cold.
Such paint protects and preserves,
fortifying the perishable wood with a
complete metallic casing.
And the outside of the house is the
looks of the house. A well-construct-
ed building may be greatly depre-
ciated by lack of painting or by poor
painting.
National Lead Company have made
it possible for every building owner
to be absolutely sure of pure white
lead paint before applying. They do
this by putting upon every package
OF their white lead their Dutch Boy
Painter trademark. That trademark
is a complete guarantee.

MICHTG
POSTAL CARD FAD.

We common people do use few
postal cards annually. Uncle Sam Is
just now considering a contract for 81
600,000,000 postal cards to be sold
during the next four years-a matter
OF 90.000.000 year. These will cost
the government 100000. and the peo-
pie will pay $36,000.000 for them,
which also includes the cost OF dcliv-
ering. But this does not comprise the
postal card output. We are now an
nually buying from Germany alone
zoe, 000,0 900 postal cards. and also sew
eral millions from France and other
European nations. But Germany has
thus far had cinch on the colored
postal card trade, for even American
publishers, instead of doing their own
printing and lithograpEing. have fouHd
1t more profitable to place orders di-
rect with German houses. 1t is safe
to say that Americans buy 2,500,O0O,-
600 postal cards a year-20 to 25 ior
each man, woman and child in the
country. More than half of these are
of the picture variety. But suppose
Uncle Sam should invade the picture
postal field? What howl would go
up from the picture postal card max
ers.

The deposed shah Of Persia seems
10 have struck good thing" finan-
cially speaking. A few days ago it
was announced that he was offered an
annual pension of $25 900 il he would
get out and stay out of the country.
Now comes a dispatch saying the
present government has proposed to
pay the ex-shah $4,000 yearly if he
will deliver up the jewels known to
have been in his possession at the
time of his deposition. The govern
ment needs the jewels, probably to
turn them into money, and the gems
appear to be regarded as national
property, while Mohammed Ali, who
evidently thinks possession Is nine
points of law, seems determined to
hold out for the best terms possible.

where the explorer was to start on his

There seems % be no doubt that the
recent earthquakes in Mexico were
among the worst ever known there.
The practical destruction of Acapulco
and Chilpancingo places the calamity
in much the same class as that which
wrought such awful destruction in
Italy last December. The onl:- thing
that prevented what would have been
almost repetition of the Messina dis
aster is the fact that the Mexican
towns were smaller, and possibly less
substantially built Hundreds of per-
sons in Messina fell victims to the
crumbling of the solid houses shaken
down by the earth tremors.

Women in Postal Service.

The distinction of first appointing
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment OF
women in the postal service new
idea As early as 1913 woman post
master was appointed to look after
the mails of Braine lie Comte, an i'm
portant town of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years war,
the principal Office in the postal serv-
ice of Europe was held by woman,
Alexandrine de Rue. From 1928 TO
1916 she was in charge of the mails
of the German empire, the Neither
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as a master general of the
mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
was IL first to hold a place in the
postal department. She had charge
of the letters in Portsmouth, n. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
fury. A half century afterward Lydia
Hill was placed in charge of the post
Office in Salem Mass.
