Harry Pulliam didn't resign as
president of the National league
at the recent meeting of that or
ganization as he had threatened
to, following the trouble with
Charlie Murphy and other club
owners. Instead he asked for and
was granted an indefinite leave of
absence, and John Heydler, league
secretary. was appointed acting
president.
Heydler is Pulliam's closest
friend and his adviser. He is a
printer, and is now establishing a
business in New York. Not long
ago Pulliam commissioned Heyd-
Ter by wire to send dozen or so
boquets to different addresses and
at the same time to remit $1,000
Iby wire.
Heydler carried out the commits
sions, but in sending the $4,000
added, Cost of flowers $240,'
Pulliam replied: "All right, John

buying printing presses and lei
your boss buy all the posies be

Pulliam was in Los Angeles
Christmas, and before going to
breakfast, wired greetings to a
New York friend. After filling
five blanks with poetry and senti-
ment, the young woman operator
interrupted him.
Surely, SIR" she said sweetly
"you don't want all this to go by
wire?"
81 certainly do. my dear young
lady," replied the dignified chief
of the National league, unless
you can tell me some other way of
getting it to New York before
noon today"

The Milwaukee railway officials
say there is nothing in the rumor
that they have combined with the
Northern Pacific and that the lat

from Lind to Tacoma. The Mil
waukee is 70 miles shorter than

say they do not intend to give
this advantage to competing

Queer thing about Neil. Until
he beat Driscoll he had won but

delivered the punch that laid
Tenny low. The fatality seemed
to hoodoo him. In succession he
lost to Attell, Baker, Moran and

Preserve "Old Ironsides."

The Massachusetts Historical Soci.
ETY., by its officers and council, has ad-
dressed a memorial to Congress ask
ing that the old frigate Constitution
be repaired and put in commission as
a training ship. and at suitable sea-
sons in future be stationed at points
along our coasts, where she may be
visited by Americans who are inter
ested in her and her glorious history.
At present she lies. dismantled, out
of repair and liable to injury al
dock in Charlestown.
The Constitution was built in Boston
in 1897. In July, 1912, she escaped
from a squadron OF six British ships,
which chased her for three days; in
August, 1912, she sunk the Guerriere,
and in December the same year she
captured the Java of Brazil. In Feb
ruary, 1914, she captured the Cyane
and the Levant. In 1880, when II was
proposed to dismantle the old ship and
sell her. DR. Holmes came naming out
with "Old Ironsides," the lines begin
ing,
What, tear her tattered ensign
down." and from that day to this the
recurring schoolboy has regularly pro
tested against any slight to the Con-

For Use In the Sick Room.

One OF the greatest trials in caring
for a sick person who Is utterly help
less is the changing OF the bed linen.
when help is necessary in lifting the
sufferer while the clothing is removed
from the bed and replaced with fresh
sheets. The duty is so tedious and so
often accompanied by increased suffer
ing on the part of the patient that 1t
is apt to be postponed as long as pos
sible and only undertaken when 1t
can be no longer put OF. In the hos
pitals. where everything is provided to
tighten the burden of caring for the
sick. and where plenty OF aid can be
had from persons trained in the work,
this duty is not so much to be dreaded
and yet even there. as in the private
house. the apparatus recently designed
by a German inventor and shown in
the illustration would greatly tighten
the labor as well as add greatly to
the patients comfort.
This device is nothing less than a
