 midst of a fight against the bears in a cotton pool. While Patten is lead ing the bulls in their struggle for profits and higher prices his greatest trouble is coming when Attorney General Wickershan1, backed up by Senator Bacon of Georgia, ss Senator, Overnan of North Carolina and Sen ator Simmons of the same state, lays the matter before the courts Patten declares he is not running a pool, but is buying and paying for all cotton offered him.

May 2Oth. and many of the prominent people here are re- spending to the call for the higher grade talent presented by MT. Kier- nan's art, and a real treat is in store for all who attend.
 From Dartmouth College: .It is in deed a rare man we find, who is able ito hold the complete attention of the students for two solid hours But your 1ovable Rip with his quaint toast of good fellowship, quite took the boys by storm; He has set for task in the whole dramatic world that of reproducing, not impersonat- ing, the character, atmosphere and lovabIeness of Jefferson's characters. He is the more to be congratulated therefore on his great success

Rats Cold Weather Retreat.


 Many animals snuggle together fol warmth in bitter weather, as the squir rels and the rats. Those who go rat ting in hedges and delIs in the winter know they may try a dozen freshly used burrows without finding a rat when suddenly from single hole the rats will come pouring out in a stream of frenzied fur. Twenty or more rats will lie together in one hole.
 They are clever enough to block up a hole on the windward side to keep out the draft, so that when a rat hole is noted newly stopped with soil tur- nip leaves or grass here is almost cer- tain indication that rats are within. Like the squirrels, they store food for winter. and the keeper may find it more difficult to secure his potatoes from frost than from the attack of the most numerous of his furred foes London Standard

BOYS MAY HAVE
 FUN ON FOURTH
But Not With Dynamite Crackers and
 Tetanus Producing Pistols, is Buckingha1n's View


 Mayer SBuckllagha aII,-.w with 13 other mayors attended a conference at Hartford, yesterday, called by Gov. Weeks to consider a safe and sane celebration of Independence Day, said today. Much good will come out of this meeting. A committee of five mayors, with Bryan F.. Mahan@ of New London as chairman. was appointed to prepare a plan of action to be taken by the mayors at a subsequent meet ing. .tAII Of the mayors were in. favor of a saner celebration of the day but all realized that there are many fea- lures of the present day ce1ebra ton that cannot be shut off at once.
 E'I am not in favor of the younger element being deprived of a good part of the fun that they now have in cele- brating the saountry's natal day.
 All of the mayors are in favor of the enforcement of the state law pro- hibiting the discharge of explosives be- fore O clock in the morning and after Il o'clock at night. There is also a state law against the sale of explo- sives containing dynamite which should be enforced.
 .'The sale of cheap pistols to be us- ed in the discharge of blank cartridges is another part of the Fourth of July program which the meeting seemed to agree upon as being dangerous.

 Manager McCann did not send any message in reply, but laughed up his sleeve when he read the message. He knew at once that he would have to wait a while before Sweeney came here, but also knew that if the case was put up to the National eonmis- sion that an undeliveredas telegram would not stand in baseball Ques- ton. sI'm going to fight the case to the last" said the manager this morn ing, Sweeney belongs to me having been sent his transportation.'' The manager was asked if he would accept Holndhurst. fsNot on your life,,. he re- piled, Sweeney or nobody and for that, matter, I don't know who this other man is.

Manager McCann may have little fight on his hands when his club en- ters into the Connecticut league race. For the past several weeks he has been diekering for the services of First baseman Hugh Sweeney of the Allan ta Club of the Southern league. He had gone so far in the negotiations that he had wired Sweeney transpor- tation to this city. At first McCann was informed that Sweeney was to be turned over to the Savannah club of the South Atlantic league. To this change Sweeney objected, stating that he would much rather play in the North as the Southern climate did not agree with him. He wrote to his brother Ed Sweeney, who is catcher for the New York Americans, stating his dissatisfaction and that he wanted to come North. Brother Ed informed MeCann of the existing conditions and McCann knowing the prowess of the younger Sweeney as a first base guardian got into communication at once.

The Man Who Paid the Conductor and
 the Name on the Ticket.

The Man Who Paid the Conductor and
 the Name on the Ticket. An old time 5traveling man was talk ing of experiences of former days on the road Frequently said this trav- eler, ''I journeyed to Cincinnati. The fare from my city to that place twas then about $3.25, I saved something by handing the conductor $2 in cash, One day there was an excursion, and I bought a round trip ticket for $1 % or $1.50-Tve forgotten the exact amount, but that circumstance need not cripple this story. When I handed this ticket to the conductor as he tore off the return coupon he looked at me and in a voice betraying how deeply he was hurt he remarked My young friend, don't you know that I can af ford to haul you much cheaper than this company can?'
 "On another occasion, when in Chi cago, a colored man met me at the en- trance of the station, asked me where was going and offered to sell me ticket for $1. The ticket was to Louis vile, but was only going to Indian apolis. Cheap enough.
 "When the conductor came along to take up my ticket he asked me my name. It was usual to write ones name on the ticket in the presence of the conductor. I told him my name was on the ticket. He grinned as he handed it back and asked me to look at it and say if that was my name. looked. The name on the ticket was Mary FIaherty.' He grinned again, somewhat sarcastically, but he took the ticket. .''-Pittsburg Press.

A .Rattled Rridearoonn.

Some few years ago man of ma ture age found himself playing first fiddle to marriage bells. Then they hied themselves away, as others have done, to Niagara Falls. He chuckled to himself as he took pen to enter on a hotel register for the first time 'tJofln Doe and wife"
 He thought he wrote with the easy air of one who had so written it there many years and turned carelessly away.
 On leaving the proprietor inquired, 'I hope you have enjoyed your honey moon with us.'
 ''Sir-r?' But he merely turned the register back and pointed to this en- try, "John Doe and bride.''

The Influence of Bath.

Is there any town in the world that has so imposed itself as much as Bath upon the life and language of the na- tion? For some there are Bath buns, for others Bath Divers. and the mili- tant ladies who find the buns too soft may throw Bath bricks at office or other windows if they disapprove of the Bath chaps.

FIND LATEST MAN
And Police Chief Gormon
Claims the Credit for
Discovery.
MAN A CONFIRMED TRAMP

In Karl Kremelmann, a foreigner.
who was lined up with the rest of
the buns for the morning lecture by
Superintendent Gormon, the police
believe they have found the personifi-
action of laziness. The man declares
that during the past year he has only
worked three weeks and seems to be
proud Of the fact. kremelmann. ap-
parently is a man of leisure, not be-
cause he is physically unable to work
but purely through choice, His oc-
cupation seems to consist in travelling
over the country and breaking into
Jail
AS the man has no home or rela-
tives and admitted he didn't care
whether he was alive or dead, Chief
Gormon suggested that he jump into
the river. that it would be a good rid
dance. The foreigner didn't warm up
to the suggestion, however. He was
fired out of the city and told that il
he was found within the city limit
after today he would be brought to
headquarters and hung. The man left
with a sheepish smile on his dirty
countenance.

HAS STRANGE mania
Police Claim There Is a Crank
Who Dotes on Bicycle
Rides.
MANY COMPLAINTS MADE

J. NJ. Lafuze. 22S North Twenty-first
street, thought he had his bicycle sto-
len last night. and telephoned the po-
lice to that effect. He claimed that
he left it standing in front of the
Light, Heat and Power companys Of
flee on Main street and that when he
returned from the store in which he
had entered to make a minor purchase.
the wheel was gone. However, this
morning Lafuzc again visited the place
where his bicycle had been left, and it
was standing just where he had placed
it. The police assert that they have
had numerous cases of this kind report
ed to them and that there must be
someone in the city who has a mania
for taking short rides on bicycles left
standing in the gutter and then return
ing the wheel later.
