When the White Sox started on
their annual spring training trip to
California the latter part OF February,
Briggs, the sporting cartoonist Of one
of Chicago's leading dailies. gave the
readers Of his paper an exceptionally
clever sketch, which pictured at a
glance the great prosperity of base
ball al the present time Two special
trains were shown, one the White Sox
special. and the other that of the
President Of the United States. On
the one observation platform stood the
old Roman, Comiskey, and his party,
while from the other the Bill Taft
emile was the predominating feature.
II was about the same time the White
Sox left for the west that Taft was
preparing for his trip to Chicago. On
the tracks near the cars stood small
boy the characteristic lad OF the mod
ern cartoon. AS he looked at the two
special trains, the expression on his
face was that Of deep thought, for a
BOY. Beneath the sketch were the
words. We'll, nowadays its hard te

the changes will not be material.
There was general disposition
manifested by corporations to COM

The Rev. ]. M. Steadman made a

formed the convention that a juvenile
missionary society would be organi-
zed at once. He also wished to know
how the lone male delegate from o.

convention. which created much
amusement for the large audience.
Mrs. Wightman then made an ap-
propriate talk along missionary lines
and introduced Mrs. Humbert, of
Laurens. The latter said that she
had been engaged in the work since
1875, and loved it better every year.
She gave interesting statistics. show

Double Express Charges.

Paying express charges at both
ends Of the line seems to be a practice
both pleasing and profitable to ex-
press company employees. Investi-
cations by some millers has brought
to light the fact that the employees
seem to delight in making this error
OF double collection. Whether the
double collection is always reported
at the office or not Is not disclosed
but no doubt it is so at times, and
even the express company managers
remain in ignorance Of it. A few ship
pers who are regular patrons of the
express companies have gone to the
expense Of special labels which they
attach to every package upon which
the charges are prepaid and others
take the additional precaution Of
specifying in their letters that
charges are prepaid" The same
abuse has been indulged in the mat
ter Of charges on kilograms to such
an extent that many frequent users
OF the wire prepay all of their own
messages and insist on those who send
messages to them, preparing their
kilograms. In this way no messages
are paid for a second time.-Ex-
