abont him. l want to say that john

SUNDAY MORNING LEAGUE

The Sunday Morning league schedule
for yesterday was increased to three
game basis, and the new teams re-
ceiVed their initiation in fitting man
ner. The Euclids were the victorious
squad at the Southern Pacific grounds
and held down their 1000 per cent in
rather easy fashion. The Ivanhoes,
who have had a chance at the initiation
ceremonies once before, met another
defeat at the hands of the Dyas-Clines
aid still hold the position of the cellar
champs.
The Sunday Morning idea is the best
thing the amateurs have landed yet,
and the enthusiasm in the work is in
creasing daily. With the morning game
over, the fans can spend their day at
the beach or at the Chutes in trying
out with Father Neptune or watching
the pros at work and can get falr
chance to rest their diamond weary
bones before the weeks work begins.
There are a number of teams in the
berth in the Sunday Morning league,
and applications are already in the
hands of the president of the league
for an enlargement of the organization.

Louis Vigelius. who is interested with John Morrow at Diskaket and Dave Edwards, the meat king, arrived ill the city more than a week ago, taking look at the country, and deciding whether or not they will attempt to bring i'll any of tue good stuff they have over there.
 Vigelius said there were about so tons of stuff there available for this section which can be brought over the trail. Although they had some smoked meats. they are longest on the things that are long here.

Think of sitting around the stove in the winter time Flecherzng the flannel about the want in the House. Say the very thought of it makes swell up with importance.
 Come to think of it, why shouldn't be state? We have wealth and brains than like there think how refreshing it would be to be able to thing about disposng of it,-meaning the wealth.
 We could havea nice little statehouse somewhere handy made of great big logs where the soons and the sooists could gather round to decide where to land swift kick and in convention assembled, they could pick good man to go to Washington and play pee-knucke.

 Jim Wickersham says that Alaska declared ter rtory years ago. He wanted territorial government but the fight for it, precpitaed this business with 1at idea of governing Alaska with board of West Point cadets.

 There is political revolution going in the states The congressional elections held last week and betting money that the nsurgent Republicans gressves, whatever you want to call them in power. There blood in the Congress of the United States principals and new ideals.
 These new folks know about Alaska and think about Alaska than did those tariff tinkes hav been mixing their mtts in the national strongbox for many years. They honest and they progressive and they will just about nail the conservation bug the clOakroom door,

WATER

Water is used in Wall street and the
Atlantic and other oceans. 1t is also a
part of the equipment of most rail-
roads. About the only place where it
is not considered necessary is Ken
tucky.
Water may be hot, cold or tepid.
When hot it is poured on young babies
by innocent parents, drank by dyspep-
tics or displayed in geysers that people
come for hundreds of miles to see.
Tepid it is found in most apartments
when you want it not; it Is also used
on dining room tables in England.
Cold water Is made at the north and
south poles and sent to our doors in
currents. 1t is sometimes used for cold
baths in the winter, but many people
prefer death in almost any other form.
On the beach in summer time it often
covers q multitude of shins. Blocks of
water are often sent inland by eX-
press, inclosed in glass and used as
aquariums Thus many gold fish, who
otherwise would have monotonous
lake to swim in, get a much-needed
change of scene.
The brains of many people contain
80 per cent water. The rest is un-
known. Without it we should have no
microbes, for, through it, they swim
into our constitutions, where they are
continually fighting for supremacy.
This gives us more time than If it had
to sort them out ourselves, and ar
range them in our systems every hour
or so.-Life.

A HORRIBLE DEATH

Lou Chaplin Is on his way back from

the soap that floats. His road bust

incidents and anecdotes. He could do
wholesale business just as we'll and
perhaps with greater profit, especially
if he organized a newspaper syndicate
for the purpose, but he is one of those
rare spirits who prefer self-sacritice in
the cause of the common people.
Stopping over in Louisville between
trains and dairy lunches his usually
cheerful countenance was SO overcast

his melancholy.
