Jamestown Va, one Of the slowest

behind Rome in the matter of progress,
has asked the Jockey club for dates
for a meeting to begin April 1, which
would extend right up to the date OF
the opening of Aqueduct, April 10,

Forty millions of the American army
of baseball fans attended games last
year, according to the official statis-
tician. and managers and owners are
preparing this year to break all rec
ords in this line. With the big league
teams strengthening fast the race In
each league for the pennant should be
much closer than ever, and conse-
duently the attendance should improve.
Los Angeles fans will be more inter
ested than ever in the showing that
the st. Louis Cardinals will make, as
Rebel Oakes will be on the team and
help Rube Ellis to land the National
league honors Roger Bresnahan is
quoted as saying that Oakes is much
better man than Ellis and that he
would not sell Rube for all the others
on his payroll. That sounds good to
Los Angeles cranks. Both boys helped
win pennants here and should be big
strength to the Cardinals, who have
not been in the first division in many
years.
Jesse James Brennan made another

THE ANTIauATED SEAL
A Very Small Thing to Which Great
 Importance Is Given Sometimes

A most absurd thing connected with legal business is the little piece of red, gfeen or blue paper or daub of sealing wax which we often place at the end of signature to a deed, will or other im- portant document.
 It is a very small thing in size, but one to which great deal of importance Is frequently given. It is a relic of anti .quity. and no plausible excuse can be invented for continuing its use.
 Some of the more progressive states have practically abolished it's use by leg sislation, which deprives it of any techni- cal legal significance. In others, however, it is still used with all seriousness and solemnity. and an almost magical value is given to it by dignifed judges that IS little less than ridiculous.
 A man died years ago leaving part or his estate to another to enjoy While ne lived with the privilege of deyising 1t at his death to others whom he might select by a writing under his hand and seal" writing was executed so devls- ing the property, but it was contested by others claiming the property upon the technical ground that the paper con tained no seal after the signature, ana the devise was therefore void
 A wise Philadelphia judge closely scrutinized the signature and after care fully listening to the arguments Of law yers decided that at the end of the sig nature there was an extra scroll or flour ish made with the pen with which the signature was made and that this was sufficient in law to constitute a. seal

The Creeks are far less in their houses than we are, and when they are at home they appear to spend most of their time in looking out of the window. They are not given to inviting their friends to their homes. It is not that they are niggardly, for they will gladly enter tain you at a restaurant at far great or cost to themselves But it does not enter into their ideas to ask you home to. dipner, even after an acquaintance of many years.
 They do not ask each other, so it can hardly be expected that they should make an exception in the case of foreigners. The cafe Is a second home to them. There they meet friends and gossip. That is one reason, per haps. why they dislike country life.

WAY OF THE FISHERMAN
It Is Made Hard for Him When He Has
 Big Story to Tell
From Bailys Magazine.,

From Baily's. Magazine.s
 A fisherman who was worming for trout on the lYthan hal just laid his rod down to visit his sandwich box, when without warning it suddenly rose in the air and scared away like Bleriot bi- plane over Esslemont woods
 For one wild moment he thought there were visions about, but the explanation was soon apparent. trout had first seized his worm and had then in turn been seized and gorged by heron. Away Tapped the heron. only to find that 1t had captured something of unusual weight.
 Still it bravely flew towards its nest in the treetops. and the angler might rever more have recovered his rod had it not got entangled in some telegraph wires with the result that the cast snapped, the heron went free and the rod was eventually restored to it's owner.
 remember telling this story to man who before had even got as far as the telegraph wires interrupted me with the assurance that it was mere everyday commonplace to what had once befallen friend of his when nahseer fishing in India
 
 casting with large spoon. and in a back cast drove it into the ear of tiger which had been going to spring on him from, behind. Goaded by the pain. the brute sprang clear over him and into the river. and the fisherman actually played 1t for an hour as it swam to and fro in mid stream.
 It is such stories which bring down on fishermen the unmerited reproach of being liars.
 Once when I had been describing some memorable fight with one of5 the big fish of the past wrote
 q live over those tense moments again and again"
 Did the printer 50 interpret me? Not at all What he preferred was:
 T lie oyer those tense moments again and againp'
 This sort of thing ie vory hard. Wha' made 1t worse at the time was the fact that the friend who drew my attentiof to the misprint was a golfer.
