ST. Louis Browns Scout is in ottumwa
and is Casting Favorable Eye on
keokuk's Tall First Bascman.

Harry Howell, one of the scouts of
the ST. Louis Browns arrived in Keo-

where he will take in all the fine
points of Hughie Miller's playing
Howell was in the city last year and
was responsible for the taking away
of several Central association players
for the st. Louis team.
Should Miller meet with favor in
the eyes of the veteran scout, Keo-
kuk's first sack man will be taken over
at the end of the present season by
the Missouri big league aggregation.
Miller has been hitting heavier this
year than last and his playing at all
times has been classy. Many have
said that Miller would make himself
too good for the minors this year
and the pace he started during the
first part of the season has been kept
up and has shown no signs of relaxa-

the National Conservation association
was ayerted today when Clifford Pin
chot and his adherants agreed to in
vite President Taft and any friends
Taft might suggest, to address the
St. Paul conservation convention ia
September. The thought that friends
OF Pinchot were on the program for
speeches while Taft and other admin

to the charge that the meeting was
packed by the Pinchot faction. At
the end of the conference, which was
held behind closed doors, Secretary
Steward announced that it had been de-
cided to invite Taft and his friends
to speak. Pinchot and otter of the
conferees refused to discuss the mat

MAKE HOMES IN TREE sTUMPs
Frs Of the Pacific Northwest Are Put
to Many Uses After They Are
Cut Down.

The fine frs of the Pacific north
west are so colossal that after the
trees are hewed down the stumps are
used for children's Fairgrounds,
houses for families to live in or for
dancing platforms.
10 make a stump house the mate
rial from the interior Is removed
leaving only enough to form walls cf
suitable thickness. A roof of boards
or shingles is put over the top of the
stump. holes are cut for windows and
doors and a family of five can and
often does make it their dwelling. The
stump houses are sometimes used by
settlers until they can build larger
and more convenient homes.
After the stump home has been va.
Gated 1T is turned into stable for the
horses or sometimes in an enclosure
for chickens or hogs
Next to the big trees of California
the fir or sequoia of Washington and
oregon has the largest diameter. AS
they decay rapidly the following out
Is easy. Sometimes they are used for
dance platforms, some of them ac-
commodating as many as four couples.
Another custom Is to turn the big
stumps into Fairgrounds for the chill
dren. The children reach the top by
pieces of wood nailed against the
sides or by ladders. A beautiful use
OF the large stumps is making them
into flower beds covered over with
trailing vines.

MERCY UNKNOWN TO NATURE
Life Hard and Cruel for All the Low

dore Roosevelt.


In an article in scribner's, Theo-
dore Roosevelt made the following
complaint Of the cruelty of nature:
Death by violence, death by cold,
death by starvation-these are the
normal endings of the stately and
beautiful creatures of the wilderness.
The sentimentalists who prattle about
the peaceful life of nature do not real
lie its utter mercilesaness: although
all they would have to do would be
to look at the birds in the winter
woods, or even at the insects on
cold morning or cold evening. Life

Men of the Sea

There is that in the sea life which
can ennoble the toughest material,
though. as Fielding observes, the
sailor should be seen on his own deck
and not ashore, where, owing to the
too sudden relaxation of the discipline
that is his daily portion. he Is not. seen
at his best. The seaman is born, not
made He is none the worse for
having run away to sea, for any little
irregularities in his character will
speedily be tanned by life before the
mast. His spirit, If it is the right
one, chafes against the narrow limits
OF the village and even suffocates In
the wider streets of cities. His eyes
strain after far horizons that symbol
lie the Infinite. Not for nothing is he
called "seadog." for his is dogs life.
Yet for him the sea has luster thai
It's wolfish cruelty never dims.-F. &
Aflalo, in the London Morning Post.
