Fred Clarke May Retire.

Fred Clarke. the leader of the Pitts
burg baseball team. who has pilotef
his crew to three National league
championships, will retire from the
game at the close Of the present sea-
son. This statement is made on the
authority of the wife of the premier
player.
FIRED will retire." said Mrs. Clarke.
"IIe has had his innings, and his de-
parture will mean an opportunity for
some other player. While we are
attached to Pittsburg, there is a
great big ranch in Kansas that needs
his attention, and after this year it is
the ranch life for both of us. 1t is
not generally known that Fred did not
banker after playing this year and did
not actually decide to play until after
he went to Hot Springs to join the
team. Then he decided to try for just
one more pennant, but this is his last
try" Manager Clarke later verified

Roman NomencIature.

The noble Romans were peculiar
In their system f nomenclature. They
had the praenomen, the nomen and
the cognomen. The first of these
distinguished the individual and was
equivalent to our Christian or baptis-
NAL name. 1t was usually indicated
by single letter as A. for Aulus. or
by two letters, as Ap. for Applus, or
three. as Ser. for Servius. The nomen
was distinctive of the gems or clan,
and has no corresponding appella-
tive among us. The cognomen was
placed last. and designated the fami-
liae, precisely answering to our sur.
name. Sometimes fourth name vas
added, the agnomen, in consequence
of renowned action, some conspicu-
Gus event of life or feature of charac-
ter. Scipio, in addition to his regular
names, was styled Africanus after his
conquest Of Carthage. The name
Germanicus was assumed by those
who distinguished themselves in the
wars with the Germans.

AFTER THE CIRCUS.

Now the last roasted peanut is swallowed,
The last clown has gone on parade,
The last sugared popcorn been followed
BY sips of the last lemonade,
His eyes, once so big, that shone brightly
Through all of the glad afternoon,
Are shut, and his fingers close tightly
And cling to his gaudy balloon.
The last acrobat's been appauded
And shuffled his way from the mat,
The last bareback riders been lauded,
The clown, with his sugar loaf hat,
Has gone with his powder and spangles,
The diver has made his last leap
And here in my arms are brown tangles
OF curls and boy fast asleep.
One sticky hand rests on my shoulder
One holds fast the gaudy balloon,
That shrinks and before it's much older
Will fade like the glad afternoon.
His dreams, it may be, of the maddest
OF somersets reciNessly hurled
The tiredest, slecpicSt, gladdeSt
And stickiesJ lad in the world.
And, oh, but the spauGles were splendid!
And, oh, but the music was grand.
The side splitting clown laughter blended
With soul stirring airs by the band
Till naught of the glad marvel fingers
Save what in his dreams he. may keep
AS he clasps his balloon with close fingers
And rests in my arms, fast asleep.
And so from these joys without number
Ere aught of the glitter was gone
He went to his dream laden slumber,
Where on plays the music and on
For him all the revel is maddest,
For him not flag has been furled-
The tiredest, sleepiest, gladdest
And stickiest lad in the world.

1t is bruitcd about among the MEM

free movement to his pitching arm
and that his reserve supply of nerve
also is extremely low.

BY a strategic dodge unequalled
by anything found in the biography
of the fox, Aaron Augustus Chase,
the lawyer, yesterday, drew the wool
binders over the eyes of all inter-
ested in his divorce case on the side
of his wife, says the Scranton Trib-
une. On the strength of a series
of letters he prevailed on his wife
to come from her Canadian home to
his Benton township bungalow, and
when she landed they effected what
purported to be a reconciliation.
Convinced that domestic bliss had
been restored, Mrs. Chase came to
Scranton, got her luggage at rail-
road station and returned to the
bungalow. Mr.. Chase met her at
the station, helped her from the
train, carried the luggage home and
then served subpoena in di-
vorCe.

The "kinp of llOmc.M

What became of Napoleon's son
is a question often asked. as little
mention is made in history of the
young prince, the desire of his faith
er's life, who was born March 20,
1911, amid great rejoicing in Paris
and hailed as the King of Rome.
In January, 1914, Napoleon en-
braced his wife and child for the
last time, and this really ended the
reign of the little king who never
saw his kingdom" He was reared
in the Austrian court under the
name of the Duke of Reichstadt and
grew to be handsome young fellow
and quite a brilliant scholar. He
had one short year of military life
and then contracted pulmonary dis
ease, from which he died in his
twenty-second year. He worshiped
the memory of his father and al
ways spent the anniversary of his
death, July %, in his own rooms
He is buried in the Carthusian mon
astery of Vienna, which is the Aus,
trian Westminster abbey.

When is the Time to Advertise? .?

Some merchants have become pos
sessed of the idea that the summer
months are poor time to advertise,
on account of so many people being
out of town. Nothing is farther
from the truth. While a large sec
tion Of our people take vacations,
the number of people who go away
for more than two or three weeks is
comparatively small The great
majority of mechanics and business
men do not get over two weeks va
cation, and really the number of
stay at homes is still greater, and
the merchant who tells about his
bargains will find plenty of people
listening. Most people have to
make many purchases in the midst
of summer to complete their equip
ment for even two weeks vacation
The merchant who keeps his regu-
lar space full will get this business
He will find many strangers here
who read the home paper and will
trade with the concern that gives
the appearance OF hustle by liberia
advertising.

Chief Proc ucer of Insanity.

DR.. Frederici Peterson, of New
York City, in an address before the
New York Conference of Charities
and Correction, declared "Alcohol is
the chief poison factor in the produc-
tion of insanity. Twenty per cent. of
all the insane in the United States
owe their condition to alcoholic pois-
on" DR.. Mcdonald calculates that
one insane person is an approximate
loss to the state of $400 per year,
hence the actual loss to the United
States is $12,0OO,000 per year.

He Craved Variety.

An Oregon editor once got a big ad-
vertisement from place which sold
nothing but oysters. The place had
just opened, and, while the proprietor
was willing to advertise, he didn't have
the cash to spend, so the newspaper
man took a card which entitled him
to $40 worth of oysters. "a few days
later a tramp printer strolled into the
Gazette Office and wanted job" re-
lates the editor, Il had nothing to
offer him, but told the man he might
sleep back in the composing room, and
as he had no money to buy food
gave him the meal ticket on the oys-
ter parlor. l didn't hear from him
again for more than week. One day
he came into the office looking bit
drawn and worn. 4 don't want to
seem dissatisfied with what you've
done for me, Mr.. Carter said he, and
I'm willing to admit that the luscious
bivalve is a wonderfully fine bit of
food, but for heavens sake can't you
get an ad. from ham and egg en-
