POsT-sEis0h GAMES
TO Be SIGNIFICANT
Between Teams of Equal Standing
and Will Give Line on Strength
Of Leagues.

NEW YORK, Ocotber s.~-The post
season series or baseball games this
year are attracting unusual attention
owing to the fact hat the contenders
In each series finished In the same
relative position in their respective
leagues. This fact, 1t IS argued, should
give q good line on the relative
strength of the National and Ameri-
can Leagues.
Neither of the New York teams can
now be ousted from second place and
Cleveland and Cincinnati, which are
to play for the Ohio championship,
are both safely anchored in fifth
place. This Ii the first time that
suoh a condition has prevailed in the
inter-league series.

Within the sculptor's studio
Stood groups of marble tall,
And one just finished of a maid,
Was fairest of them all.
Her hair, across her hidden face,
Was blown in wind-swept rings,
A covered burden in her arms,
And on her feet we're wings
Around the room the sculptor's child
Was wandering to and fro,
But longest stood before the maid
With garments white as snow.
Dear father, tell me, who is she.
And what is it she brings?
want to see her face SO much,
Wy do her feet have winss?'
.'Dear one" the sculptor gently said
"This maiden, fair and tall,

But rarely can men see her face,
Or know just what she brings,
And, if they question her too long
They find her feet have wings

FALL MILLINERY
Grand Opening At Davidson Co.'s To-
night Promises to be Most
Auspicious Event

At the Davidson Co.'S fall opening
today there was an exhibition of styles
and material that bears witness to the
work of the best designers of Paris
and New York. Every we'll dressed
woman knows the charm of a Paris
hat and there were quite number of
these creations on display in the milli-
merry department of the Davidson Co.
This department has just been newly
fitted up and the handsome green
draperies over window, the soft green
carpet and the many mirror-lined
cases formed an artistic and luxurious
background for the millinery. There
were sections for nothing but red hats,
others for black hats, for black and
gold hats and for black and white
hats. Unusual stress is being laid
this fall on gold and also ON black ana
white-the King of England's death
throwing that court into mourning SO
that black and white has affected
even the styles on this side of the
water.

For the brass bed or one with brass trimmings the girl should choose cretonnes that have a deep cream or yellow ground with the surface
 And also there Is usually bureau or a dressing table. or both, as well as locking chairs. with a squnre table and DE, easy chair. The girl can make her own selections for the rooms furni- ture and she should complete the deco ratlons In such q way that the room will De attractive. Valuable hints cnn be given by the mother in this matter. The mother should give the daughters room q frequent inspection.
 In the matter of cooking many bouse wives have their own ways and dishes The daughters are necessarily the pupils learning little by little the many things that make successful housekeeper She can also attend market with her mother and learn how to purchase eatables aI- though she may never be forced to do this work It Is a good thing that the daughter be taught how to purchase meats In order that the best selections Sah pe huut. uu0 u dlSO DOi1S good with other eatables. Inexperienced housewives often complain that they are taken ad- vantage of by the dealers who force the undesirable parts of the meats upon them.
 The smaller things about the household can be taught the daughter gradually, and the teaching requires great deal of patience on the part of the mother. Ways of caring for furniture. the clean ing of clothes, mending, dusting and sweeping all come under the heading of household duties, and the girl should cer- tninly have some idea of how these things are accomplished She can be taught the easiest methods at least, for the mother with her long experience knows the best ways for doing all things that pertain to the household. Most young girls show a willingness that is surprising for this kind of work. and If fhis is the case they are quick to learn all the details They often grow pro- dcient iD the different arts before the mother hns completed her teaching, and especially is this true in the cooking art

 FAIRS.
son Left a PIainer One.

On July 23. F. l.. Simpson. an forged checks in Phoenix on Sep tember 23. Yesterday the sheriffs of- flee received a telegram from Los Angeles saying that Simpson is in custody there. Deputy Sheriff Adams left last night to bring back this 23 skiddoo individual to Phoenix.
 The first check disposed of by Simpson bore the name of A. G. Carswell by whom he had been em- ployed and it was cashed by T. O. Raines. The amount of it was s1S75. Next, Simpson wrote the name of Mir Raines at the bottom of check for $5.S5 and persuaded Frank Hanley of the c. T. saloon that it was good. Before the discovery was made that neither of the checks were good Simpson had departed from town leaving not the slightest trace of him self
 But a clue was secured in a pc culiar way. When Deputy Sheriff Adams went to the room which he had occupied he found a lot of torn bits of paper The pieces were so small that they attracted the atten- tiOn of the officer. IL appeared. to him that whoever had reduced them to that shape had a strong reason for dcing SO and would have burned them if there had been a stove in his room or any other means of re ducing them to ashes.
 Accordingly the officer gathered them up and brought them to the of flee. An investigation showed that the paper had consisted of letters re- ceived by Simpson but what was of greater value was filled put appli cation for position on railroad.
 The railroads employ a great deal of formality in hiring men. The ap- plication blank requires q biosraph ical outline of the applicants career and what is therein set forth is apt to be true for the understanding is that the railroad company intends to verify it. It also requires a personal description of the applicant, the very thing that was now needed by the sheriffs office.
 Accordingly the torn fragments of the application were pieced together by Sheriff Hayden until the document was complete Then the fragments of
