The Grand Trunk Pacific, which for
three years has been pushing its way
across Canada. will have its lines so
far completed through Canadian whe at
belt by next fall that it will be able to
carry all the grain grown in its terri
tory this year over it's own rail and
water lines the entire distance TO sea-
board. Last year the company brought
out Of its territory between 100000 and
100000 bushels of grain but on ac-
count of the uncompleted condition of
its lines it was compelled to turn this
over to the Canadian Northern and Ca
madam Pacific at Winnipeg. This year
it Is estimated that the road will bring
out 100000 bushels entirely by the
Grand Trunk rail and water route.

weeks ago when the generally supposed
Baltic lode was uncovered by trench
ing on the Isle TOyale a thousand feet

results means for the time being at

How Kid Elbsrfeid Began His Base

When Norman Elberfeld, the former
Yankee inflelder, broke into profess
sional baseball he was only II years
old and still wearing short trousers
according to an intimate friend OF the
now Washington National player
Sixteen years ago. so the story goes,
the "Tabasco Kid" broke into the
game as a professional. To quote:
He went from his home to Clarkes-
vile. KY, and. according to his own
story. he was sorry looking spec
tacle when he reported to the man.
aver There had been wreck the
night before, and instead OF making
the trip in a few hours Elberfeld was
on the road all night, He was sleepy
dirty and as hungry as a youth of IL
years can become over night. He
wore knee trousers and the manager
looked at him askance when he walk
ed up and said:
Are YOU the manager? Well, I'm
Norman Elberfeld, your new player
"A few minutes later Kid heard the
manager confide to one of the old
players that that half pint of cider
win never do However. he gave the
Kid a chance that very day. and he
Won the game for Clarksville. The
same evening as they were walking
along the main street. the manager
turned to Kid. and after looking him

team you will have to wear long

It's needless to say that that minor

CATCH FILIPINO SLAYERS
OF WAKELY AND EVERETT
Ayhao, Leader Of Band, and Two
Companions Join Three Others
in Captivity.

CHICAGO. January 22.-Ayhao, leader
OF the band of Filipinos who murdered
Tilden r. Wakely Of Chicago and II. D.
Everett in May. 1908, has, with three OF
his companions. been captured by the
constabulary, according to information
received by r. WakeIy, father Of one of
the murdered men, from the bureau Of in
sular affairs today.
Two of the band had already been cap
tured, making total of six now in Gus
tody.
Everett, a government forester, and
Wakely, a teacher, were killed by Ayhao
and his relatives while the Americans
were making a forest map Of the south
ern part of the Island of Negros. Three
Filipinos who accompanied them were
also killed.
In a report from Lieut. Charles Schrei-
ner, who was in charge OF the constabu-
larry when the first two members of the
band were captuI ed, the statement was
made that the primary cause of the MUIR
der was probably fanaticism and not rob-
berry.
1t appears that one Of Ayhao's wives
died a few days before Wakely and Ever
EFT reached the scene. It is said to be q
custom that the natives in that section
believe they must kill some one else be-
fore they can bury the body Of a dead
relative.
IL is believed that the Americans were
l. He'd for that reason.

Hard Winter for Game Birds.

From the Baltimore Sun.
This has been-a trying winter thus far
for game birds, particularly for Bob
White'-the delight of every true sports
man, a sturdy. gallant little fellow, well
able to take care OF himself when his
natural food supply Is available. But there
have been heavy snowfalls and intensely
cold weather in Maryland, Virginia and
West irginia. and unless Bob Whites"
friends among the farmers and sportsmen
provide food for him while the fields are
covered with snow many birds of his
tribe will perish. 1t is not an uncommon
thing in the severest winter weather to
come across a covey Of these birds stiff
in death, the victims of cold and hunger.
Many birds would be saved IL grain were
scattered near their feeding places, and it
is to be hoped that this kindly care Of
one Of our finest game birds has not been
neglected in Maryland and the Virginias.
OF late years there has seemed to be a
diminution in the number of cartridges,
even. in places where they. were once
abundant and in states in which the
game laws are enforced and the
shipment of game from the states is pro-
hibted. 1t would be regrettable, indeed,
if there should be further diminution
because of the failure of Bob Whites"
friends to feed him in the hour of his
necessity, when he cannot supply his
wants from natures store.

IN PRAISE OF GUMsHoEs.
Not Getting Feet Wet, But Getting
En- Dry That Hurts,

From the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.
The overshoe is doing an enormous
amount of good. especially among chill
dren. in protecting the body against the
chilling that results In colds. sore threats,
chronic catarrhs and the like
1t is not the mere getting the fet wet
that is harmful. It Is the prolonged
evaporation Of water from shoes and
stockings that does the mischief The
evaporation reduces the temperature
about the soles of the feet many degrees
below the temperature of the surround
ing air, just as wet bulb thermometer
registers lower than dry one.
In fact, the warmer and drfer the air
by which the body is surrounded the more
rapid the evaporation and the lower the
temperature. Also, the thicker the soles
Of the shoes, the more water is taken up
and the longer the evaporation goes on,
so that thick soleS do not take the place
Of covering of gum, which Keeps the
water away completely.
This evaporation and consequent con-
tinued lower temperature goes on, espe-
cially In the house, when the rest of the
body is in comparative comfort and the
nervous system relaxed. Wet shoes in
doors are worse than wet shoes out of
doors. Some people can stand this pro-
longed unbalancing of environment, but
it takes a pretty vigorous makeup TO
do so.
It might be added that the wearing of
overShoes that cover a large portion OF
the foot when one is indoors is not a
good thing.
