movement is now under way to
organize the amateur baseball clubs
of this state for the purposes of mu-
seasons baseball has been growing at
such a rate that the rivalry among the
teams has been the cause of a great
many disputes as to the signing of the
best of the players. AT the present
time Spalding's has $50 so called anna
teur teams listed in its booking de-
partment. Games are arranged from
week to week and at the last moment
some manager would offer a crack
player few dollars extra and the nine
would find itself man or two short
This situation reached such a stage
that a number of prominent managers,
headed by Joe Solari of the Gantner
& Matterns, ]. Bookover OF Shreve's,
]. Wrincle of Studebakers', J. Herzog
of the Lash's Bitters, E. Keating of the

over the game.
The Olympic club is accused of be-
ing leader in the grabbing of players
from the other mines, their latest ac-
QUESTION being Cerighino, the Stude-
bakers clever shortstop, and Troy from
the same nine, while the Martinez
nine has taken Harrison from the
Shreve team. The Barney Frankels,
who started in<the season with a long
string of victories, have been heavy
losers to the San Mateo nine, losing
Jim Riordan, Eddie Benn and L. Gold
enson. The grabbing game has be-
come so raw that the managers believe
by organizing strong association
this habit will be stopped. There is
no opposition to the transferring of
players if the proper amount of notice
is given the managers, but the taking
of a good player at the last moment
is queering the game. Among some
of the outside teams that are inter-
ested in the new movement are Red

Neglected Cats.

Editor Social Corner: I wonder how many people realize how much suf- fering there is among the cats in this city. I know some people do not care for cats, but it is to those who love the useful as well as companfonable little creatures that I make my plea. Every day I see any number of cats suffering from mange, cruelty, neg lect and starvation; poor. helpless lit tie kittens crying for food; little strays that someone has dropped, wandering about the streets, the object of a kick here or a blow there. I know of one policeman in this city who never sees a cat on tine street that he does not kick at it savagely. ofteno odther maim1ny CT killing the animal.
 Again, among the French people there seems to be. a superstition, or a law, relative to kififng kittens. Their cats will breed and these kittens in their turn will breed and in three years there are perhaps fifteen or twenty cats sprung from one source. These cats are a nuisance as well as a cause for pity I know of one fam fly which rather than kill the kittens, gave the little blind, helpless, new born things to a neighbor's children to play with.
 There are two ways of getting rid of this suffering. In the first place there should be a law requiring every cat ta ba ssEDtored. A very <zaali

Efficiency in eovernment.

Armies have their shirks, their cof- fee-coolers, their stragglers, their hangers-on; but these are not a whit more detestible than the voter who makes merchandise of his citizenship or the one who is found doing business with such patrons. Both are exeres- censes on the body politic, and should be no more tolerated than the man spotted with leprosy or with smallpox on the streets and public highways of the country. With men in ofice and such a constituency behind them, efficient government is impossible and a government of, by and for the people a hiss and a by-word in the estimation of all who have any proper conception as to what governmen t.should be.
 If there is to be that high degree of efficiency in government, it must begin with the people All of them may not fully realize 1t, but they are the source of all power. If they will be as careful in doing their part of the public business as they are in their own affairs, (and their business is at the ballot box) the time will come when there will be less complaint of grating in public places, public bus mess will be done with less waste and millions of dollars now being squandered will remain in the pockets of the taxpayers, or if not there it will be spent in a manner that will be of great benefit to the people of the nation, the state and to municipalities.

Cute caaed Birds.

Editor Social Corner: suppose some of your readers keep caged birds and perhaps not a few have killed them with kindness. It never pays to be too fussy with a pet bird and the plainest sort of food keeps them in the best condition. Pet birds know all mem bers of the family usually. although they show special preference for master or mistress. They always recognize a stranger and eye him with suspicion I nearly spoiled a canary once by giv- ing it mixed seed and dainties-when I gave it plain canary seed and ad- hered to that simple diet it regained it's song and it's health. A canary bird is very set. If he is given a china bathing dish and it is broken. no other kind of bathing dish will do. If the bird has been trained by a person with a bright colored waist it will not train if waist of another color is worn. When canaries show weakness a rusty nail in the water will prove to be a tonic; and if mixed seed is being given plain seed should be substituted Old bird keepers know this. but it may be a help to amateurs.

Friends Are Worth More Than Money

Friends Are Worth Moro Than Money
 Editor Social Corner: We think 1t would be much better to write in- structive letters to help all of the large family the Social Corner is getting to be than to make it an aim to get a prize Friends are worth more than money-let us all get acquainted and see what we can do to help make oth- er's life worth living and to make inn provements that will be useful after we are no longer known in the Social Corner.
 A boy of IF thought it good plan to make a basket and fasten it on the front end of the electric car Gas he said), to trip up any one on the track and tumble them into the bas- ket and thus save life. His plan was soon put into use and the lenders on the electric cars throughout the country are the results of the boys idea. which made him a rich man. Perhaps some of the writers in the Social Corner can give some one a helping hand and other Improvements can be made as useful as this boys basket. The Social Corner is growing better every week and some time in the future what grand thing 1t would be for all the writers to meet and have a social chat and exchange thoughts, ideas and problems which would help one and all much more than prizes.

On the Raaino Main.

 Editor Social Corner: I take pleas | ure in writing a story about plum I pudding, also the recipe in rhyme. It was about the stormiest voyage I ever saw. We left the Hook on Mo- vember 5, 1899. in a regular blow, and | struck worse weather off the Bayl1s of New Foundland, and it grew dirtier every mile we made. The old man was kind of gruff and anxious like, and wasn't easy to manage. This ain't no | Christmas story and hasn't any moral. I was second mate and knew the cap tain pretty well, but he wasn't so- ciable and the nearer we got to land according to our dead reckoning (we hadn't been able to take observatfons) the more cross ss-grained he got. l was eating my supper on the 24th, when the steward came in and says he. Captain, plum pudding tomorrow. as usual sir2" It wouldn't be polite in me to pen what the captain replied; but the steward he didn't mind All that night and next day, the 18th of December, it was howhng storm, and the captain he kept the deck. About 3 o'clock Christmas day dinner was ready, and a precious hard time it was to get dinner from the galley to the cabin on account of the green seas that swept over the ship. The old man, after a bit. came down and says he:
 sswhere's the pudding?" The steward came in just then as pale as a ghost, and says he, showing an empty dish:
 Washed overboard, sir
 Just then the cook came into the cabin with a dish in his hand, saying:
 Heres another pudding" and set a good sized pudding down on the table. Then the old man unbent and went for that pudding and cut it in big with a kind of triumphant look He hadn't swallowed more than a single bite when the first mate came running down and says he:
 Lizard Light on the sta rboard bow, and the weather brightening up."
 How does she head?"
 East by north"
 'sThen give her three points more northerly. sir. and the Lord be praised" And the captain swallowed his pud- ding in three more gulps and was on deck, just saying:
 .I knew that pudding would fetch it," and he left us.
 We were in Liverpool three days afterward, though ship that started the day before us from New York has never been heard of since.
 Here is the plum pudding in rhyme: To make plum pudding to the cap
 tain's taste, So all may be eaten and none go to

A Little Comforter.

Editor Social Corner: I have been made aware what great comfort a little thing may become, and I wish ner about it. It is no more than a thin pillow made of down, of feathers or of lambs wool and kept constantly on the bed. It discounts the hot-wa- ter bottle because 1t is always ready and never heavy enough to be an moving when applied to the tenderest spots. It will check those little deep muscular pains in the shoulders or the knees, overcome colicky pains, warm up the feet and promote the comfort of a person more than can be imag- ined or told. I have summered and wintered one Of these little comfort CTS and to it I owe many a good nights sleep. It is easily made and never in the way. SOPHIA
