One of the new hotels in New

any part of the house. The mana

New Style Baseball Bat.

Several of the crack batters Of the
two big leagues are going to use
new style bat, with a new wrinkle to
it, next season, and if their line OF
thought proves correct there will be
decided revolution in the styles Of
hitting. Those bats are curved and
somewhat fiatteDed near the end.
~sIhe crook starts about eight inches
from the end of the stick, where it
Is rounded off.
This stick was invented by an old
player who lives in Chicago, and
samples have been ordered by Larry
Doyle, Eddie Collins. Ty Cobb. Josh
Devere and others, They will try
the new bat out in the spring prac-
tice. and if they learn to do things
that are promised with this bat the
solution of the hitting problem may
be at hand,
The supposed advantage of this
bat is that it makes it possible for
the hitter, by manipulating his wrist,
to drive the ball into the left or
w1ght field or to hit it straight out to
center.

One of the troubles with Clarks-
Vile seem to be that her business
men are either dead or discouraged.
Judging from the advertising col
unins of the Leaf. Chronicle, the bus
iness men do not seem to be alive to
the fact that Christmas comes this
year on the 25th of December. Is
it possible that they are expecting it
along about Feb. %? Or maybe
every day is a holiday in Clarksville.

by himself but the devil or som'
horrible creature stayed in the cave
and guarded it day and night. He
told Mootry that the Harp brothers
or some other robbers had left !!
there and no other person knew OF
lit. Nov if you will go with me-
he said land stand by me we will get
ir. | have selected you because
know you are fellow that will stay
with me. let what will happen So
one night the next week was set for
the attempt to secure the treasure
Several of the neighbors we're placed
along the path that led from the
cave to Mootry's cabin at the works
with sheets around them, and grand
father secured the skull and horns
of an old COW, lighted candle and
placed it in the head and put it be-
hind large rock so it couldn't be
seen from the entrance. He hid
himself in the cave. robed in white
sheet.
From the mouth of the cave to the
path is pretty steep hill about fifty
yards from the cave to the path. 1t
is covered with small sharp rocks.
When the night came Dulin was
on hand promptly. He persuaded
Mootry to leave off his shoes 30 they
would make as little noise as possible.
When they came to the mouth Of the
cave with their torches, Dulin pro-
fessed to see the bags Of gold. but
Mootry couldn't see them, of course.
They had long parley as to which
one should lead the way. Finally
Dulin agreed to lead if Mootry
would stay with him. no matter
what happened. Grandfather kept
concealed until Dulin was opposite
him when he let out an unearthly
whJop and grabbed Dulin. Dulin
tainted and fell, and Mootry started
out for dear life, leaving Dulin to
his fate. Every few yards fresh
ghost would fall in behind him to
encourage him in his fight from the
devil.
When he reached his cabin he lit
orally fell in and shut and barred the
door. Thirty minutes later Dulin
was at Mootry's cabin hatless and
very badly frightened. He tried to
induce Mootry to go with him part
of the way to his home which was
about two miles distant, but utterly
failed to get him outside of his cabin
that night.
Dulin went to grandfather's who
lived only half a mile from the works
and spent the night. Mootry's feet
were so badly cut up by the sharp
rocks that he had difficulty in get
ing about for several days
He made it point to relate his
wonderful adventure to every one
he met for several weeks. Finally
some one enlightened him as to the
trick that had been played on him
So in a few weeks he disappeared. to
the delight of the community.
In few years after this the max
ing of salt at these works was discon-
tinued, and everything pertaining to
the works has disappeared except
the well and furnaces.
