Quick cure.

Once there was a man who made life miserable for all he met by eternally harping about his aches and pains.
 He would discourse on the subject of his dyspepsia, and he would almost 1n- terrupt a religious service to tell of his rheumatic symptoms.
 If he had a stitch in his side he had to poster his friends with it. and a headache helped him make everybody unhappy.
 - At last a bright young woman, to whom the man applied for sympathy, cured him of all his ailments.
 When he was in the midst of cata- logue of his suferings she said sweetly:
 "Yes. it is strange how many of these things af11ict man as he begins to grow old"
 That man never even had symptom after that.-Wilbur D. Nesbit in Judge.

The starting of the worlds cham pionship series is in the hands of Stan ley Robison, owner of the St. Louis National League club. Robison says that they will start later than Oct. Is. On that date game is scheduled between his club and the Chicago Cubs, which date he does. not intend to change. Those interested desire to have the game advanced so that the series may be started and over with as soon as possible.
 The Tri-State League at it's meeting last evening decided to open the 1911 season on May. Sd and close Sept. 6. The salary limit is continued at $175 with $25 additional for captaip. It is possible that before the opening of an- other season the WilIiansport fran chfse will be transferred to Whining ton.
 Left Fielder Bob Bescher of the Gin cinnati club is out of the game for the rest of the season as the result of in juries received at the Polo grounds yesterday. Beschler while chasing foul fly from Merkle's bat crashed in out. Doctors said that his left hand was badly lacerated and that his chest was considerably hurt. It was thought at first that one of his ribs had caved in.
 Connie Mack does not intend to allow ms Athletics to go stale waiting TOT the Cubs to finish their National League schedule. He is arranging ex- hibition games in Baltimore and will also play an all star team in his own back yard. He intends to tackle the Cubs with well oiled machinery.
 It is stated that President Brush of the New York Giants has withheld announcing the series between the Giants and Tanks until he is absolute 1y certain that the Giants could not overcome the almost impossible lead held by the Cubs. Both owners are willing to have the series. Brush is not afraid should he lose the series that he will have to close the Polo looking for a purchaser for his club
 The Cleveland club of the American League, have arranged for a series of games to settle the championship of Ohio. The two clubs are still wait ing the ratification of the National Commission, which meets in Cincin- nati Monday.

He has obtained a number of men, but none of them are from the New York or Cleveland clubs. This is enough to signify that the Tanks will play with the Giants and the Maps with Cincinnati,

HOW EDISON GOT. RIGHT WOMAN FOR
 DIFFICULT ROLE

Good leading women are a scarcity in the theatrical profession and it is a well known fact that many a star has given the credit for his failure in certain vehicles to the fact that he lacked a leading woman who could play up to him. Hence when a star is fortunate enough to secure a young woman to play opposite him who an- SwerS exactly the requirements of the role and at the same time comes up to all his own specifications for the actress he needs, he considers him. self lucky.

RaEt:nsre and Soft Crabs.

6aIt!TnGFS ana SOIE SFaDSs
 The genuine soft crab, or Brachyura baltimoriensis, is the most delicate as It is the most delicious of all victuals. It will no more bear transportation than a zephyr or daffodil. The mo- ment it is taken from it's native deep it begins to lose bounce and flavor. and once 1t has left the Chesapeake littoraa it is no longer eatable. That is why the soft crab is a superb delicatessen In Baltimore and a bitter disappoint- ment everywhere else. So sensitive is it, indeed. to climate and handling that it is impossible to get a decent soft crab anywhere west of the first tollgate on the Frederick road. In Pittsburg. where embalmed soft crabs are offered in the gflded lobster pal aces, their flavor, is that of glucose. In Chicago the soft crab is a mere curiosity. to be- gaped at, but not eaten. Baltimore alone has the genu- inc article. and it is fortunate for Bal timore that it cannot be transported. If it were possible to ship soft crabs the whole earth would bid for them. running up their price to $1. $5 and perhaps even to $1OO a dozen.-Bal- timore Sun.
