RICHIE NOT YET STARTED
One Of Hardest Working and Most
Deceptive Pitchers In National
League Has Hopes.
BY LOU RICHIE.

The mortgage was due. Little Looie
had to save the old homestead He
had tried to make an honest living.
but at the tender age of fifteen he
threw down his trusty hoe, picked up
baseball and determined to become
a white slave of the national commits
sion.
Every one refused to take him earn
estly. even himself He saw that there
was no chance for him as a baseball
tragedian, they we're so numerous. so
he jumped into the comedy line. Every
one said: He's a good entertainer
even If he can't pitch" And every
batter who ever thought be could hit
300 (Which includes all of them)
grabbed bats and hurried to welcome
little Lou. He started in eastern
Pennsylvania, but after time the
league asked him to quit because the
batters were knocking down the
fences.
Finally little Loole grew desperate
The mortgage was about due and his
dog was starving. He went back and
tried the hoe again. but he had lost
control. Besides every time the hoe
accidentally jerked a spud out OF the
ground Looie, practiced throwi' g

curves with It. He threw all his EN-.
ployer's crop into a neighbor's yard,
and just for that he was fired. The
mortgage was overdue. One day little
Looie picked up a large round spud.
1t was the turning point. He SHE'D 1t
at cat and as the spud flew through
the air It curved suddenly and hit the
cruel monster who owned the mort
gage. Anxious to perfect this great
curve little Looie kept hooking curve
potatoes at the cruel flnancier until
he resembled a potato pancake. The
next day he took his curve to Philadel-
phia and was signed to pitch for the
Phillies, and cheer up gloomy athletes
who wanted to leap into the Delaware
river because their batting averages
we're not .437. For this they paid him
enough salary to support himself in
the style to which he had not been ac-
customed and to pay the mortgage.
The manager told him he couldn't
pitch for sour apples. They said he
was "a comedian, both on and off the
slab That broke his tender heart.
Then the peerless leader OF the Chi
cago Cubs purchased him and per-
mitted him to warm up almost every
day and occasionally pitch a game.
The peerless leader was tender heart
ed. He didn't care how many hits
they made, he let poor Lou stay And
Lou has stayed this long and expects
to be champion of the world AS for

We brought TO Court analytical chemists

who swore to the analysis of Grape-Nuts and
that part OF the starchy part OF the wheat and
barley had been transformed into sugar. the
kind of sugar produced in the human body by
digesting starch (the large part OF food.
Some of the State chemists brought on by
the weekly" said GrapeNuts could not be
called ''predigested" food because not all Of
II was digested outside the body.
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as "predigested."

1t is sufficient that II only one-half of the

Two Very Old Ladlxa.

We have heard a great deal lately
about long-lived people, but it Is prob
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 81, 1885. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however, is nine months
her senior, having been born in May,
1884.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her joint allowance. She lives
at the village of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser

Before DAYS of Free Press.

Many of the restrictions that hamp-
cred the influence of the press re-
mained in force until the close of the
eighteenth century in England. 1t was
not till that period that newspapers
obtained the right to criticise the pol
icy Of ministers and of the king. Mr..
Walter, the first editor Of the London
Times, was prosecuted for censuring
the duke of York. He was sentenced
to pay a fine of $3.50, stand in the

year and give security for his good
behavior for seven years. The order

The surgeon testified bacteria lgermsl help
