MADE A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT
Row Of Tempting Pies Attracted Mu'

House Round the Corner.

Pie. the national dish, has been the
subject lately OF pure food investiga-
tons, fumigation and of an eating
contest, in which the champion pie
belt of the world was won. But still
more recently, in Boston, 1t was used
as an especially clever advertisement.
In q certain kitchen window In GER
tain apartment house that backed up
against a certain court, around three
sides of which lived certain musical
students and other people who dined
at restaurants-tu this kitchen win
dow was displayed each day row OF
tempting pies.
The crust was faky and delicately
brown. Oozing through fancy little
pricks In its top was juice so rich and
plentiful that the mouth watered at
the sight. Occasionally a faint pie
odor would float across the court and
drive the restaurant frequenters wild

no doubt, however, that, aside from his
personal interest in putting stop to
the thing. the man was convinced that
he was acting for Brancepeth's inter

so placed that he could not well afford

The nuptial kiss, with a meaning
akin 10 that Of the kiss of peace, had
its origin in most serious and prac-
teal church ceremony known as the
espousals. Among medieval people.
as among some classes Of Jews today.
It was customary for tho bridegroom
and the bride to meet before wit
nesses ia the church some days or
even weeks before the marriage and
there make a pledge Of future union.
and at such times a ring was usually
presented by the prospective husband.
Sometimes. however. the man was too
poor to buy the ornament, and instead
presented a kiss. which was doubtless
more pleasant, and was considered a
binding pledge before man and God.

QUINCY, hi. Nov. 1s.-John NJ.
Shoneman and John E. Wall of the
directorate of the Quincy Base Ball
association returned today from Chi
cago, where they represented the To-
cal club before the arbitration board
OF the National Association of Minor
Leagues, In the matter of withdraw
ing from the Central association.
Gases of this kind are usuall-- heard
and disposed OF In fifteen or twenty
minutes, but the situation in Quincy
was SO unique that the board gave up
two full hours yesterday 10
the hearing and were then UMPIRE
pared to make decision. The SEN
timent expressed was that the Cen
trail association should settle the mat
ter within itself if possible, and mem
bers of the board intimated that II
the Central association could not dis
pose of the problem they might later
report the matter back with a recon-
mendation, but that would be as far
as they could go. They act only in
the general interest of the game and
represent some fifty of the minor
leagues in base ball.
The Quincy case was presented in
chief by John E. Wall, who had a
mass OF convincing evidence to show
that the city of Quincy had firmly and
unanimously repudiated the Central
association and it was admitted to be
a foolish and losing proposition for
the association or any outside interest
to attempt to establish club in
Quincy under the circumstances. De
tails in the argument were supplied
by President Harry Hofer, Vice Presi-
dent Schoeneman and Manager Myers
who was also present. The Central
association was represented by Presi-
dent VI. E. Justice, who is now mem
Der Of the the arbitration board but
who did not sit in judgment on his
own case.
Last evening there was some In
formal conversation over the case and
members Of the board talked with

Justice and said that Quincy wanted
to leave the Central legally and with

agreed that If the arbitration board
