FOR TEMPERANCE STAND
President of w. c. T. u. Sounds
KEYNOTE at Convention

OMAHA, Oct. 22.-The thirty-sixth
annual convention of the Woman s
Christian Temperance union, the second
largest annual gathering of women in
the world, met in the Auditorium here
today. The convention was called to
order at $3.50 a. M, but the preceding
hour was devoted to a service of prayer
under the leadership of Nine. Layah
Barakat, national evangelist
Mrs l. NJ n. Stevens. the national
president, delivered her annual address,
which occupied the greater part of the
morning session.
Mrs Stevens featured her report with
a note of congratulation to President
Taft for his stand on the temperance
question, saying:
There have been many similar deter
limitations during the year by organiza-
tions and prominent individuals, the
latest and most notable being that of
Mr. Taft. who soon after his election
as president, at a banquet. turned his
wine glass down and said it would ever
remain so and in harmony with this
action and through his request no
liquors Were served at the ina ugural
ball at Washington.
For Mr.. Taft to set the example of
total abstinence is cause for great re-
loicing by those who care for human
ity's veal. 1t is an example safe and
beneficent for all TO follow Mr. Taft
is entitled to grateful thanks and ap-
probation of a thrice grateful nation.
The annual reports of the correspond
ing secretary, Mrs. Frances p. Parks of
Illinois, and of the treasurer. Mrs.
Elizabeth P. Hutchinson of Illinois,
were the features of the afternoon ses-

Dining Car superintendent now in ses-
sion here, according to f. NJ Dow,
dining car superintendent of the H.
linois Central railroad.
The majority OF those who eat in
dining cars" he said, "eat about one
or two meals on train each year.
Many of~them have more money than
brains and are perfectly able to pay
a tip and would do so whether the
company ruled against it or not Any
discussion of the subject or any at
tempt at such rules only puts our
business in a turmoil
The tip question has become a
nuisance because many travellers lack
the courage to offer a fee on a 10 per
cent scale such as is generally adopted
in European countries. They prefer
TO give a tip of more generous pro-
portions rather than face the disap-

KANE PITCHED
 STRONG GAME
Bridgeport Wins from Northampton
 Score 5 to 5.

The Orators by punching hits on sJum'' Warner in the first inning of their game with Northampton yester- day at NewfieId Park, were enabled to pull out a. victory 5-3 Their fielding was also of the high class order, only one error being rung up, that by Schmaltz of an easy grounder. but it did not prove costly. The real credit of the victory is due to the pitching of Tommy Kane, who al. though he allowed eight hits and gave six passes, frightened up when the men were on the bases, and backed by the splendid fielding, especially that of tiilt's, the Larks were held well in hand. Bridgeport, like in the most of her games won recently, did all her scoring in one inning, tkis time the first session being picked out, as "Jum's Warner, the messenger boy up. In this stanza four hits. includ- Ing two doubles, an error and pass notted five runs and the game. After that session Warner was quite stingy, allowing only five scattered hits. The game: %kF --i
 steinhauser opened the Orators half of the first by going out on grounder to Yale. Rannon picked out, a plate splitter. the pellet sailing into left field. Hilt duplicated the trick, only that his tdt was more towards the foul line, Bannon scoring and Hit resting on second. Jimmie Burns was very klno, mussing up on Ladd's grounder. War ner filled the bases by passing Miller It was now up to Old Doc Bunyan. The Doc was on hand with a terrific wallop to left center, clearing the bases, MT. Bunyan resting on second He was scored a moment later on Schnsaltzs hit into center on which that player was thrown out at second on trying to sstretch the rap into a double. Kocher ended, the inning by going out second to first.
 The first run of the visitors was gift Walsh first up in the second was walked Bridges. the coming Pir- on third on his hit to left field. Golden was thrown out on second when OHara hit to Hit. While OHara was being run down between first and sec end by the whole Bridgeport team Welsh ran inz from third with the IArks' first run. Their second run was also a f1uke. walsh led off the fourth with a strike out Bridges and Golden singled and O'Hara was pass ed There were three on and but one down, a hit being necessary to almost tic the, score. Ira Plank, who is something of a hitter. was walked, frightened up bit. forcing Warner to send a pop fly to Bunyan, and McAn- drews to do the same trick to Hit. 1tswas good pitching and Kane was 1OunQdy dpPfcLudcu. llC SOttCh himself into a hole and worked him. self out.

When Baseball Was an Infant Industry. e It was a crude game, but merry. In theory the pitcher was. there only to give the boys chance to soak the ball." First bound' was still out. The unfortunate catcher, handling heavy, lively ball without mask, glove or pro- tector, stood up near the bat when men were on bases if he had the skill and courage. The early guides recom- mended him to do so when he could. Had not the pitcher been restricted to an artificial throw scarce a catcher would have lived to tell the tale Many catchers took everything Ion first bounce" and managed at that to prevent much base stealing. Base rum ming also was in it's infancy. Smith" says the Spirit of the Times, caught a remarkabl game, having but five passed balls scored against him." Here and there we get a glimpse which shows how crude it all was. what a matter of hit and miss natural force. In the fifties Dicky Pearce shone with out a peer as an infelder. He used to stop grounders with his hand and foot! VIII Irwin in Golfers.

 Have you no better clothes than those, Mat?"
 'No. in troth, yer honor, worse luck" " replied Mat. E4-a \ ''Well. call at the house this evening on your. way home," said the gentle man. "Fll leave an old suit of mine with the butler for you"
 A few days later when showing a party of visitors through the gardens he was much annoyed to see Mat look ing if possible more a scarecrow than ever.
 'Why are you still wearing those old clothes, Mat?'' he asked.
 "Sure. yer honor, they're the best l have" replied Mat. +
 ''But did you not get the suit left for you the other day?'' asked the gen. tleman.

The Cold Water Cure.

If you feel a cold coming on, drink glass of cold water, not iced, and re- peat at half hour intervals until relief is felt If hot water is easier to take, it can be substituted for the cold, par ticularly in the morning and at night. Taking an abundance of liquid matters more than it's temperature. 1t is there where the patients fall short. They will drink a glass or two of water, then declare they can take no more and, ceasing, decide water cannot drive out a cold. This water cure is not so modern as the most of us think 1t. In an old prescription book of a famous physician of more than a hundred years ago this curious remedy for a cold is found: Let ye patient who feels a cold coming on eat of a fine, big salt herring just before going to bed. This will make ye patient drink plenty of water" If you have not strength of purpose to drink freely of water for the colds sake, make your self thirsty as best you can-only take all the water possible.-Philadelph Press.

Lundyfoot and His Snuff.

The shop of a Dublin tobacconist named Lundyfoot was destroyed by fire While he was gazing dolefully into the smoldering ruins he noticed that his poorer neighbors were gath ering the snuff from the canister. He tested the snuff for himself and dis covered that the fire had largely i'm proved its pungency and aroma. This was a hint worth profiting by. He se- cured another shop, built a lot of ovens, subjected the snuff to a heat ing process, gave the brand name and in a few years became rich through an accident which he at first thought had ruined him. It was Lun- dyfoot to whom the great orator and wit, John Philpot Curran, suggested the celebrated motto to the coat of arms emblazoned by the successful tobac- conist upaa the panels of his carriage, motto which had it's meaning in Latin and English and was significant in both, "Quid Rides" (who laughs). 'Quid," it may be mentioned, was a nickname bestowed on tobacconists at the edme, owi1rrg to a prominent article in their stock of trade.
