Would you not expect that a batter OF
the caliber Of Dan Murphy would say
that the hardest man for him 10 bit was
premier ike Russ Ford or some OF
these latter-day stars who have achieved
great reputatlon7
Well. Dan doesn't say anything OF the
sort. Danny says that the pitcher who
has shown the most improvement this
year over previous years is none other
than that veteran. old Cy Young. Dan
says that the pride Of PeoH. Ohio. the
man who has chalked 800 wins against
his name and who has been twirling for
twenty-five years. is the man who shows
the greatest promise this season. Does
not that give precedent a rafting OF the
slatwork and make youth take a run FOR
the wildwood?
odd Cy. says Danny. rs the hardest
pitcher In the land for me to tackle right
now. and think that he has something
on about all OF them as II is. Once he
was all speed. and couldn't he burn EN-
over? Now he is pitching with a reduced
speed, but he is using curves a splitter.
and his old noodle. which is filed with
the knowledge Of the weaknesses OF bat
ters gathered from twenty-five years ex-
perience- They have had old Cy canned
for three or four years. but guess that
the old socks is just as good as any of
them right COW. He hasn't lost a game
since he won that five hundredth victory
down at Washington, and he is with a
second division club. too. All the other
fellows have a tough time winning, but
the old man seems to pick 'em out Just
as good as ever. He looks better to me
than carful Of some Of this young
blood. I'm sticking for old Cy."

Isabella County Again.

The Enterprise of Mt. Pleasant
thinks that the local option question is
soon to be resurrected and that the
county which has been dry for some
time will have another saloon fight
on it's hands soon. Thus says the
Enterprise:
"Those of our readers who had
thought that the saloon question in
Isabella county was dead, will wake
up to the fact that they were sadly
mistaken. For several weeks work
has been going on in the matter of
getting petitions, and the Enterprise
is credibly informed that outside help
has been here to direct the work and
line up the saloon adherents Un-
less there is slip somewhere the fight
to restore saloons will come again at
the spring election"

SANE CONDITION HERE
No Line Of DemdfCdtlOn Between
Track Space and Depot Platform

The Pere Marquette railroad lost
suit in the United States court re-
Gently that will probably cause it and
other roads to pay closer attention
10 platforms at passenger stations and
rebuild some of them.
The railway was sued by Sarah
Jane Flintham, who was badly bruised
about the head and body by Pere
Marquette excursion train at Howell
June 6, 1906 The testimony showed
that quite a crowd had congregated
that day TO board the train for De-
troit. There was no platform of any
kind except cinder one Also there
was no line of demarcation on the
station side of the track to indicate
how far out the sides of the train ex-
tended Usually the wooden or other
platforms are built up to within three
feet of the track.
The plaintiff, who was on the track
side of the crowd, was strcuk by the
projecting crossbeam of the incoming
engine, knocked down and bruised. In
his charge to the jurors, Judge Swan
said it was clear there was no line of
demarcation of any kind, and that the
plaintiff was entitled to damages The
jury awarded her ST ,280.

A Gas Light Flame From an Ordinary
Kerosene OH Lamp

One of the most useful little inven-
tions that has come before the public
for many day is simple little attach
ment to the common wick for common
kerosene oil lamp, by which the oil is
generated into gas and makes a flame
equal to the best gas jet that has ever
been produced.
The great beauty of this invention,
which is called Gas-O-Lamp Wick, is
the fact that there is no smoke, no
charred wick, no disagreeable odor and
one of the best lights that is possible to
make.
The lamp can be turned down so that
a mere streak of light is left and burned
all night and there is no foul odor in the
room from it, OF all the inventions
that we have seen for long time, this
one is the best and most practical in the
family where kerosene lamps are used,
