the Gibson Girl is one of the hits
of the day. The Dumond Due,
a couple of Italian street singers,
also are worth hearing. James

COLEMAN'S HOME RUN
IN tenth WINS THE
GAME FOR TACOMA
NORTHWESTERN LEAGUE.
Standing OF the Teams.

Come on Coley, We got to
catch boat" shouted Chm Blan-
kenshfp as the sun was going
down In Dugdale's handbook ball
park yesterday afternoon, Tets
end It here" And then Coleman
stepped out at the first ball pitch
ed by young Gardner of the Beav-
ers and soused the ball on the
seam ant sent it spinning clear out
of the lot and away over the
housetops in the neighborhood.
And the game was won 1 to 0.
1T was the only snore of the at
ternoon. Ten innings Vancouver
had gone up to the plate and gone
back to the field with nothing
that looked like a score. Nine
hmes Tacoma had done the same
trick and then came Coleman with
his homer and the boys gathered
up their bats and they caught that
boat.
It was a great pitchers battle
between Charley Schmutz of Ia
coma and Gardner of Vancouver,
played on the Seattle grounds.
The Beavers made a desperate eff
fort in the tenth aud got a couple
of men on bases but it was no
use. Tacoma was determined to
get back into safe place at the
top OF the column and they nosed
the enemy out. Score:

Vancouver ......... 0 8 1

The Fly Menace.

The time of the year has arrived
when special effort should be made in
the city to suppress the house fly, or, as
it should be more properly termed, the
typhoid fly. The movement begun last
summer in Nashville to exterminat the
fly was mainly educational, but it was
followed by good results. Public atten-
ton was directed to the evil of the fly
and to the various means available for
protection against the infection caused
by the fly and also to the necessity Of
more general and concerted action upon
the part of the people to exterminate
the nuisance. The more general use of
screens has been encouraged, and the
matter Of screening should be insisted
upon earnestly this year.
The health authorities have been act
i've in this respect, and are constantly
ready to aid in fly determination as far
their limited means and agencies will
permit, but it is important that house,
keepers and the public generally should
also be active in adopting all available
means to prevent the production Of flies.
In this work cleanliness of premises is all
important. Mayor Howse has urged
the importance of hearty cooperation
in the work Of Cleanup Week, /" and
Health Officer Hibbett is doing all in
his power in promoting a policy of city
cleanliness. Cleanliness is the keynote
of all sanitation, and careful attention
to the removal OF dirt and all obnoxious
matter throughout the spring and sum
mer will b cone of the surest safeguards
against the infectious fy.-Nashville

In Remembrance.

Annie May Addison was born Jan
81, 1907. She was three years old anC
died March %, 1910. Her mother dice
three years ago.
Annie, dear. the morn is dawning
How II brings sweet thoughts Of thee
When you used to wake and call me-
Papa, papa. come to me.
True you were my little sunshine
| Bringing joy the livelong day
Those bright smiles that chase the shadows
Sunshine e'er she went away.
After darkness rose the dawning-
Little one so fair and sweet
Papa came. but sad the morning,
Black eyes closed in slumber deep
You were my sweet JOY and comfort
Many hopes were bound in thee
How miss you, o my darling
Little Annie, aged three.
Just three years ago her mother
Precious we had laid away;
Then we laid our little daughter
To rest until that day
When the doors of Heaven open,
Jesus calling them to rise
oh. It's then we hope to meet them
Far beyond the vaulted skies
Thus the days pass ON in sadness
Sorrow fills our heart and home;
For we know on no tomorrow
Will our absent darling come.
Little garments neatly folded
Little shoes are put away
Little chair is left so vacant
None can fill like little May.
Once for all her tired lips murmur
Now lay me down to sleep
Neer again to hear her whisper
pray thee. Lord, my soul to keep
No more goodnight kiss receiving.
Then lay on her pillow white
Ask the Lord to guard my treasure
safe until the morning light.
Papa misses those sweet kisses,
Gentle arms my neck entwine;
Naught is left from out the shadow
OF casket white-rose lined.
Thus seem memories of my darling
In her gentle babyhood
AS she spoke, her heart o'erhowing,
Papa, love you, o so good.
Papas heart is sad and lonely
Little one so fair and true
But he hopes 10 meet his darling
Where there's such word -adieu.
Thus we leave our little Treasures
Angels now their vigils keep
Until Jesus comes and calls thee
From thy calm and peaceful sleep.

Conscience VS.. Art.

Thomas Nelson Page, in the smok-
ing rbom of the Baltic, contrasted the
literary and the scientific tempera-
ments.
"But a letter will best bring out
my point" said the famous author.
you've heard, of course, of Tenny-
sons poem, The Vision of Sim Well,
an eminent mathematician wrote
Tennyson, on the appearance of his
poem, a letter that ran like this:
"'Dear Sir-Ifind in a recent poem
of yours entitled "The Vision Of SIM"
the following unwarranted statement:
Every moment dies a man, and
every moment one is born" I need
hardly point out that this calculation,
if correct, would tend to keep the
sum total of the worlds population
in a state of perpetual equipoise.
whereas, it is an established fact that
the said population is constantly on
