Our National Game.

'eThe raw American citizen," says Ellis Parker Butler in Success sMaga- zine, "who takes his seat at a ball game for tho first time feels as he would should he drop into the Metro poIiran Opera House and find himself hearing Wagnerian opera from seat sn the midst of seasoned German opera goers. He hears language that is new to him. The man at his right can tell more about the first baseman's peculiarities than he could tell about the manners of his own wife. The man at his left has trouble remember ing the size collar he wears, but he can name every man in every club of both major leagues, tell the age of each, give the complete table of bat ting records offhand and recite, item by item, every feature of every game played on the home grounds during the last five years. That is why baseball is our national game. We love the game not because we are Chicagoans and the Chicago nine wins nor be- cause we are Pittsburgers and the Pfttsburg nine is winning, but because we are educated in baseball and like to see good game played by the best men in their field that can be found in the world"

HARTFORD GIRLS MOCK MARRIAGE PERFORMED
 BY JUSTICE OF PEACE

Hartford, May 12.-Miss Rose Oliver, who lives at 1,214 Broad St., has realized that she is really Mrs. Paul Schiff of 169 Norfolk street, Newark, N. J. On April Is Miss Oliver, who works in a cigar factory was in New ark, where she formerly worked, on a visit to the home of George Arn- old. In the evening there was a par ty, attended by a number of people she had never met before. Some one proposed a mock marriage ceremony, and she became a party to what she thought was a mock wedding to Paul Schiff, both answering the questions that Emil Kusch asked them.
 The next day they learned that Kusch was a Justice of the Peace, and had the right to perform such a ceremony. Even then the pair did not take the affair seriously, and have seen nothing of each other since the evening of the party.
 The girl says that she will ask the Legislature to annul the marriage.

Her Fathers Job,

The young daughter of popular Chicago clergyman some time ago manifested quick wit. Her father had gone on a brief holiday with a business parishioner and associate, and the talk of the children turned on the problem of which father needed the rare rest most sorely.
 "Well, I think my father works the hardest" said little Miss Business, 'and his work keeps him stirred up and anxious most of the time."
 'sYour father may work the hardest in one way" was little Miss Clergy mans answer. at once thoughtful and diplomatic, but I think he gets more rest as he goes along. You see, he can let down little evenings and Sun days. and If he gets cross and nervous nobody says anything. But my daddy has to be better than ever Sundays and evenings, because then everybody's taking notice and the whole lot of us children are around. Rec ord-Herald

JACKSON'S
JACKSON'S VAUDEVILLE

That always welcome vaudeville pro-
 ram was resumed at Jackson's thea Ire this afternoon after an enforced iayoff of few days. and that it is as popular as ever with the local amusement seekers was evidenced by the fact that an unusually large audi ence was in attendance. The bill which was submitted by Manager Jackson has many pleasing qualities and ranks very favorably with pre- vious excellent offerings at this thea tre The headliner, The Breakaway Barlows, famous comedy aeriaiists, proved one of the most sensational and daring acrobatic acts ever seen in this city. These intrepid perform CTS executed various feats of strength and agility, some of them being ex- ceptionally startling in their daring. At the conclusion of their act they were accorded a veritable ovation, and which presages for them a most pleasurable engagement. This act comes to this city practically direct from a successful enga cement at Wm. Morris American Theatre, New York, admittedly New York's leading vaude- vile theatre. where they were book ed as the special feature. Their as- sociates upon the current bill com prises a number of pleasing features including McGrath and Yeoman, ex- ceilent comedy entertainers in side splitting comedy and singing skit called "The Lunatic and the Maid" This act was conceived for laughing purposes only and certainly succeeds along those lines A number of catchy and popular songs are intro- duced and are rendered in a most ac- ceptab1e manner. ChaS. O'Toole, a comedian possessing rare ability to amuse and entertain, and Walsh and Walsh. in an eccentric singing and dancing speciality make up the vaude- vile portion of the bill. The usual three reels of new pictures are dis played, and prove, as ever, interesting and instructive. This bill will be pre- scented at Jackson's for the remainder of the week and is certainly deserving and undoubtedly will attract large ,au- diences That same popular little ad- mission fee prevails, with half price fer the ladies and the children at the matinee performance.

The subscription list for the season is rapidly filling and the ad- vance sale of seats for opening week is far beyond the most sanguine ex- pectations of the management.

Experience" said Mark Twain once, "makes us wise, but it also makes us hard. Consider the old, experienced man in the busy restaurant. He took a seat, looked round him and, point ing to well dressed gentleman who had not yet been served, said to the waiter:
 "sWaiter. how long has that gentle man been here?'
 "'About twelve minutes, sir,' the waiter answered.
 "'What's his order?
 ePorterhouse and French fried, sir, with mince pie and coffee to come.'
 ''The old man, hardened by expert ence, slipped a quarter in the walters hand.
 Waiter he said. I'm in hurry. Put on another porterhouse and bring me his'"

Salt and HeaIth.

Few persons understand the thera- peutic value of salt. A little salt in ones drinking water is good medi- cine" Salt applications to the skin are wonderfully soothing and whole some. There is nothing better as a wash for the threat and the nasal pas sages to prevent or to cure catarrhal troubles than a solution of common salt in plain water-the cheapest renl- edy one can find. Many persons give their eyes a daily bath of cold salt water with satisfactory results.
