Do not keep the alabaster box of your
love and tenderness sealed up until your
friends are dead. Fill their lives with
sweetness. Speak approviugly, cheer
ing words while their ears can hear
them, and while their hearts can be
thrilled and made happier. The kind
things you mean to say when they are
gone, say before they go.-G. w. Chiids.

RIGHT WAY TO CRANK AUTO
Not knowing How Often Results in
Sprained Thumbs.

To do almost anything well requires
brains, and, as a rule, the more brains
used the better it is done, provided 1t
is something that does not require only
power. The automobile of today is a
splendid mechanism, made to respond
TO intelligence in a degree far from
what many motorists appreciate.
Take, for instance, such a simple
thing as cranking an automobile. II
all that has been written on the sub
ject could be collected it would make
4 ponderous volume, but in spite of it
ali there are those who crank a ma
chine just as badly and just as awk-
wardly as if nothing had ever been
penned on the subject. The number Of
Sprained thumbs about the country at
this very minute, even among trained
chauffeurs, is the best evidence that
brains are not used in the cranking
OF many machines.
Almost any boy or girl can turn over
the starting handle, and yet we see
big, husky fellows going about with
Sprained thumbs, the result of emitting
brains in the task.
The proper way is simple-viz. stand
right in front of the handle. take hold
of it with the whole hand, being care
full not TO turn the thumb about the
handle. but let it lie along the handle.
Raise the handle to the highest point,
press inward and push it down from
left to right. When it passes the low
est point. and you are raising it again
you should feel the resistance produced
by the compression.
Brains again enter into the thing
when you know that the cock admit
ting the gasoline to the carburetor has
been turned to the proper point. the
throttle opened TO let in the mixture
to the cylinder and the ignition ad-
vance lever is back as far as it will go.
Now, when you bring the crank up
to complete the first turn. just before
completing rhe turn there should be a
spark that Will ignite the mixture. and
the starting motor causes the handle
TO be jerked out of your hand without
the least damage to yourself. always
provided the thumb lies along the
handle and not around it. To be sure,
YOU will find those who say they al
ways crank with the thumb about the
handle and have never had any bad
effects. Such people court trouble,
and, as a rule, some day they meet it,
and it gives them surprise in no half
hearted way.
If the compression is not what IL
should be You may get the handle up
to the highest point or beyond before
you feel the full resistance that you

HERE'S A SUGGESTION
FOR BASEBALL REFORM
Read 1t Yourself and See What You
Think of the Idea of Minne-
apOlis Man.

Louis r. Gemmett, inventor" of
Minneapolis wants to reform base
ball. His plan is set forth in the
following, reproduced verbatim
from the printed cards he is send
ing out over the country to those
he thinks might be interested:
Insanity discovered in baseball.
Don't count the bases causes in
sanity, do count makes it sensible
according to score board.
"Mr. Goldbloom was you at the
game of baseball and your children
with you? Yes.
What was the account of game
can't understand you which side
made the most bases and do you
know the game is baseball; now
can see. Count base after base. the
most bases wins the game; l can
notice it in reality, correct informa-
ton of the game; l can recover, two
bases counts more than one base
and upwards makes it reliable and
sincere. LOUIS r. GEMMETT,

INDOOR BASEBALL

Last evening at the Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium, in a game replete with
feature plays the Nuts indoor base
ball team. representing the intermed-

the working boys class by a score
of Is to 10. The game was tie in
the fifth inning and in their half of

ever, secured two runs in their half
and won the game. The feature of
the game was the work of the battery

-1econe accustomed to after a little.
The tendency with almost every one is
to push on down over the compression
In that case, if the spark lever has
been left forward before the piston
passes dead center, the spark in some
cylinders will go off and the handle go
back against the hand, maybe with
sorry results. Instead Of all this, a
little thought will convince you that
the proper thing to do is not to compel
the crank handle to pass the highest
point, but to release 1t, let it go back,
pull upward a second time and turn
over the compression.

ABANDONS WOLGAST BOUT
Nelson VIII Take Long Rest and
Then Go After Second Raters.

wv <hhtNi ESttOAh
San Francisco, Dec. 3.-Battling
Nelson appeared yesterday with a
new story, probably the result of
the talk occasioned by his determina-
ton to hold out for the first chance
with Wolgast despite his defeat last
Saturday at the hands of Owen Mo-
ran.
According to the Dane he has
abandoned the idea of clinching the
first crack at the present champion
but will strike out in a few days for
the mountains and then to his Ari-
IONA ranch, where it will be one long
rest. After that the former Durable
Dane will head back east to tell how
ii all happened and incidentally pick
up some soft change by facing a few
second rate boxers.
If he makes good against these
men Nelson will once more camp on
the trail of the lightweight champion
and attempt to land trial to regain
his lost laurels. Should the Battler
find himself devoid of all that old
time ruggedness he will probably
toss aside the spangles for all time
and confine his activities to the bus
mess world, where he has already
made good, as he did in the world of
pugiliSm.

MEET NEXT WEEK?
Reported That Three Eye Will
Finish Business But No
Call Is Received.
NO OBSTACLE IN WAY NOW
Not Likely That Amy Effort Will Be
Made to Gust Waterloo With
Only Decatur to Repl re 1t.

1t is presumed that the adjourned
meeting of the Three-Eye league will
be aelG next week, though no notice
of it had been received by the local
association today. 1t is difficult to con-
ceive of any grounds for a longer de-
lay, now that the Central association
has finally decided to retain Quincy.
Though Decatur stands ready to enter
the league it is hardly likely that the
southern clubs that have been in favor
of oISting Waterloo will persist in
their course, as the circuit would be
but lille more compact with Waterloo
out and Dubuque left in than it is now.
Then there would be no convenient citS
to par with Dubuque.
In view of the circumstances it
seems likely that the Three-Eye will
be left as it is, at least for another
year. Probably rigid rules to cut down
expenses will be adopted.
Some Are sorry.
Directors of the Central association
profess now to be half sorry that they
did not accept Quincy's cash offer of
$1,000 ior its release. They figure that
that sum, cut among the seven other
clubs, would be a pretty nice Christ
mas present, amounting to about $3.50
