To Start n Tioht Screw.

Lots Of folks have tried to remove a
stubborn screw from a piece Of wood,
a screw that won't bulge at all. and
have in the end given it up as a bad
job. Well, IL such a thing occurs again
don't give it up, don't lose your temper
or exert yourself, but try this recipe
for removing the screw: Heat a poker
red hot and then hold 1t against the
screw head for a little while; wait a
few minutes for the screw to cool
down, when 1t will be found that the
screw can be removed quite easily
with the same screwdriver that Just
previously would not perform the
work. The explanation is quite sim
pie. The red hot poker heats the screw.
and the screw expands and makes
the hole 1t is In just a wee bit bigger.
The screw then cools down and re-
sumes its original size. leaving the
hole In the wood a size too large-and
there you are.-New York Sun.

A titled lady warned her new gar

play him at those odds. Textile won more
like a l to 10 shot.
Where he came from no one knows. AS

MONTGOMERY MAY
VOLUNTARILY LOSE
BALL FRANCHISE

Montgomery, August ESPECIAL lizard
luck has been camping on the trail OF
the Montgomery ball club since early in
the season and there is serious fear
that this is the last year of professional
ball in some time. The support has been
way off and the cash receipts al nome
have been of the discouraging order
Richard Tillis, owner of the stock, has
said that he will not carry it if the losses
continue to run heavy. They are heavy
and it looks as if Tillis will keep his
word.
There has been some talk of the citi-
zens taking over the team, and 1t rs
not certain that this will not be done
Business men realize what a blow II
would be to lose it, and there is be-
lief that in this way it will be saved
to the city. Some time ago it was re-
ported that the owners of the Montgom-
cry Light and Water Power company had
given assurance that 1t would not De
lost But since that time Richard III
lis, owner of the street railway, has
bought the local company, fight being
made against the Montgomery company
and eliminate this source of strength.
This unfortunate situation is only one
that has come up to vex the lovers OF
the sport Half the time the team has
been at home since the opening series
heavy clouds have overhung the skies
just before play time, keeping away the
crowds There has been rain on two
DAYS or more. Two players were badly
hurt and their places were hard to fill.
Thomas has not had his arm at all and
JUL has been a failure in the box. From
both great things were expected this year.
Pratt was hurt and it took Ions time
to fill his place, and the same thing is
so of Osteen.
All in all, it has been a bad year. Now
the fans are sore. They are kicking about
JuuI and he is given hot shot from the
erandstand every time he goes in. They
went for Hart so warm one day he left
the game In disgust. The effect is felt
In the attendance And on top of the
other troubles is the poor schedule, which
gives long spaces at home, too long for
the attendance to hold up When the
schedule was made for this year 1t ought
to have been called a first aid to poor
support, as it has proved just that thing
But what is the use? Montgomery has
played with hoodoo sitting over its door
all the year And, at the same time, 1t
has played great ball most of the time.
