will hold its head camp meeting in
Denver during May of next year. The
last head camp of the Royal Neighbors
was held in Chicago and was one of
the warmest sessions in fraternal So
ciety history. Women delegates were
in the majority and there was a battle
royal for offices, the faction then in
power being deposed by Miss Myrtle
Dade of Rock Island. who was elected
supreme recorder, and Mrs. Lima NJ.
Collins of st. Paul was elected SUI
preme oracle. Mrs. Myra B. Enright
has announced her candidacy for Mrs
Collins office and there promises TO be
a warm fight, since Mrs. Collins is out
for reelection. Members of the SUI
preme board of managers of the so
ciety are said to be supporting Mrs.
Enright, however. and predictions are
that there will be another change in
regime. DR.. Hada Burkhart of Rock
Island, who was given the office of
editor of the Royal Neighbor by the
Collins regime, has announced her can
didacy for the office of supreme re-
corder, which is now held by Miss
Dade, also a candidate for reelection.

this standard medicine for women.

'Tis not that the earth has lost its

The worlds all right, but the trou-

1t lacks one thing-just you.

Not thing is changed, but the lure

But the only thing that will turn it

Is you. little girl-just you!

FORTY TWO VARS Of BASE BALL
WONDERFUL LIFE STORY OF jim O'ROORKE

have seen these men with little short
bats which | believe were later ruled
out Of the game, make the wonderful
Dunt hits which We have taken to call.
ing q modern institution
Pierce and Barlowe were famous
over the country for their little bats
and their haut hits: but as soon as
the snort bats were ruled out Pierce
and Barlowe. not realizing that "A bunt
could be- made with a long bat. gave
mp the bunt hits and became ordinary
bah players.
The one big question in baseball
today is how 10 make the game more
interesting The solution is more
batting. but with the pitching or to-
day and the foul strike rule this ia
almost impossible.
To get more batting. we must DO
away with the foul strike rule. and
plac" the pitcher farther from the
plate.
This would lcngthen the games
and perhaps out down the attendance
OF men who are able TO spare only "A
short time each afternoon for baseball
games. As far as | am concerned the
game is just about as interesting as |
want IT, providing every player does
his best and they all work together"

The Power of Potemkln.

Potemkin, the great Russian general and statesman. once desired that the word Impossible" be erased from his dictionary. Just how near he came to fulfilling this extraordinary ambition, the following anecdote shows:
 The favor and power bestowed on him by the Empress Catherine the Great had accustomed Prince Potem- kin to satisfy his slightest wish. Some one, speaking before him one day of the height of one of his aides-de-camp, said that an officer whom he named, in the Russian army, was even taller. When . discussion arose, Potemkin sent an express with an order to bring back the officer in question, who was then about thousand miles away.
 When the officer heard that he was sent for by the prince his joy was ex- treme; he felt assured that he was go- ing to be appointed to superior grade. One can. however. imagine his disappointment when, on his arriv- al at the camp. he learned that 1t was only that he might be measured against the aide-de-camp of Potemkin. and that he was expected to return at once without any other result than the fatigue of very long journey.

The Secret
 of the Desk
~@)@@%@O~

The story ended. Mrs. Cameron laid asile her book and assumed a posi- ton of careless repose. A smile played about the corners of her mouth, and the whole expression of her face showed that she was truly happy and ccntented wife. The merry crackle of the logs in the fireplace was fitting accompaniment to her day-dreams. This harmony. however, was soon interrupted by a prolonged sound. as of loosening boards. Quick ly turning on the light. and follow Ing with her eye the direction of the noise. she discovered that her hus- bands writing desk, which stood near the fireplace, was becoming disjointed Fully understanding in this incident the philosophy of heat. she was not frightened or surprised. when. mo- ment later, the side of the desk nearest the fire fell to the floor.
 One article only dropped from the desk-a photograph. Picking it up. much to her surprise she recognized the features of her old school chum, Nellie Vincent, an orphan. residing with her aunt in a distant State.
 How came Nellie's photograph in my husbands possession?" she thought. Gan there be secret attachment be-
