ASSOCIATION CLUB
OWNERS ARE BUSY
Annual Election Cause of
Activity Around Circuit
of Big Minor

Chicago. Nov. 1.-THE varied phas-
es or baseball politics are now absorb
Ing the spotlight In the American as
ISOLATION family circles. At least such
seems to tie the case from this view
point with the annual election a thing
OF the near future and with the pos
slpie decision by the impetuous a. A.
moguls to unseat President Tom Chiv-
tngton. the present incumbent.
In the way of anything sound or re.
liable as regards the election, however,
there is nothing, and the calm and
peace which seems to prevail at this
writing is only disturbed by the dis
quieting reports which bob up per-
ststently from different points about
the circuit.
just what surprise-if any-the
coming election, which will be held in
Chicago toward the latter. part of De.
cember. will bring about Is a matter
OF conjecture. Viewed from the
standpoint of the outsider, there an
pears to be slight dissatisfaction
against the continuance of Chivtns-
tons regime, but, ne~verthelesu. these
in no way indicate which way the
wine will blow when the storm finally
gathers.
For one thing it is reasonable 10
suppose that the ease with which the
American association season ran lis
course during the past year Chiving-
ton deserves another term at least, Init
IN n fight for the balance of power
the merits Of the candidates are not
considered greatly. Another thing to
ne reckoned with is the lack OF pos
slole candidates. Not that the job
would go begging were Chivington to
up and say he was through, but in this
case 1t seems to be n Of quality and
not quantity.
From Milwaukee comes the e
that Joe O'Bien. who was succeeded
by Chtvington In. 1910, is out to regain
his old position and likewise prestige
with the A: A. magnates. The posi-
oility OF O'Brien running promises h
good fight and at the same time puts
an interesting angle to the entire af-
tair-an angle that should work ma
terially to ChivinGton's benefit.
O'Brien. as was known to he the
case when he stood at the helm of the
A. A.. was strictly a Havenor man, and
II ne gets into the running at the COM
ing election 1t will be because the Mil
waukee magnate is again backing hin
against the Tebeau faction. which now
holds with Chivtngton occupying the
RESIDENTIAL chair. Taking 1t for
n that O'Brien really counts o.,
making another fight for the lob. and
that Havenor is willing to back him.
the question naturally arises as to who
VII We willing to stand with Havenor
and, o the ,onc-time president.
o'Brten's hope lies in the Milwau-
kee, IT. Paul and Minneapolis clubs
n even these are doubtful for the
W. CITY 'magnates still cherish tho
differences which caused them to
make a change in favor Of. Chtyfns-'
ton two seasons back. Regardless Of
attitude is a certainty that Hay-
enor viii be unable to corral any votes
Tebeau's side of the fence, and.
according to the league rulers. Chiv.
lngton needs but our out of the eight
votes to retain his office.

Real ANGEL of rsath,


Most Of us are familiar with the
beautiful and artistic conception Of
French wherein a young sculptor who
is plying his magic chisel upon block
Of stone and summoning from the
snowy depths Of the marble the dream
face of his souls ideal is gently touch
ed by the wistful eyed angel of death
and the skillful arm forever stayed.
The whole creation is marvelously
beautiful, and the world is better for
its birth. Nevertheless it is allegorical
and misleading. The real angel OF
death in the case of the thin faced
sculptor was not sad yisaged maiden
Of classical profile. In all proba bility
it was minute, rodlil1e organism float
ing amid notes of dust and known to
scientists as the "bacillus tuberculo-
sis.'' The writer does not want to be
a shatterer Of ideals. but the sooner
such poetic notions of death are done
away with and the mass Of the people
educated in a common sense way to
the dangers Of dust and bacteria the
better 1t will be for humanity in gen.
eral.-J. G. Ogden in Popular Mechan-

Z A Wonderful Machine,

The machine by which railway tick
cts are printed gives an exhibition Of
intelligence or what looks very like it.
Railway tickets are not, as might be
supposed, printed in large sheets and
afterward cut up. The cardboard is
cut into tickets first and printed one
by one afterward. The little blank
cards are put in pile in kind Of
perpendicular spout, and the machine
slips bit of metal underneath the
bottom of The spout and pushes out
the lowest ticket in the pile to be
printed and consecutively numbered.
It is of no use trying to print bad
ticket. The machine finds out an i'm
perfect blank in an instant and fatty
refuses to have anything to do with it.
Tear off the corner of one of the bits
of card and put it into the spout with
the others in order to see what vii,
happen and it refuses to bulge again
until somebody comes and removes
the impostor. Pull out the damaged
ticket and the mechanism will set
briskly to work again.-Philadelphia

Strange Timekeepers.

To ascertain the time at night the
Apache Indians employed a gourd on
which the stars of the heavens were

gourd and found out the hour. By

the order in which the consultations

The Making Of Clipped Glass.

Sheets Of glass that are covered with
shell-like raised pattern are in use
for screens, partitions, electric light
fixtures and other purposes This
Clipped glass, for the pattern is often
really Clipped out Of the surface, in
wolves a process that is interesting.
The sheet of glass to be treated is
placed under sand blast in order to
give it a grain. This ground surface
is next treated with a solution Of good
glue, and the glass is placed in dry
ing room on a rack, where it remains
for some hours. Next the sheets of
glass are removed to the chipping
room, where they are placed on edge
back to back, with the coated surfaces
outward. This room is heated by
steam coils. and when the heat is turn
ed on the glue reaches its utmost de-
gree Of desiccation and curls off the
glass in pieces from the size of dime
to that of silver dollar, but it ad-
here's so closely to the glass that in
its effort to get free it tears a piece
off the surface. the result being a
beautiful pattern.-Harper's Weekly.

When Women Carved.

In George rs reign it was the bound
en- duty Of the mistress Of country
house to carve for her guests. Ell
quette demanded it of her, and no one
might relieve her of her arduous task.
not even the master To the latter was
only assigned the easy labor Of passing
the bottle and looking on while each
joint was placed in turn before his
wife or daughter, as the case might be,
and by her rapidly manipulated. Cary
ing became one Of the branches of a
good feminine education, and there
were professional carving masters who
taught the young ladies. Lady Mary
Wortley Montagu took lessons in the
art three times week and on her

GETTING the Rank's Help.

Financial ability is not alone the
power Of getting moneyed mems ears
and interesting "big capital" The
bank is the bulwark of small business.
Given an enterprise that has legiti-
mate excuse for being and available
assets, if it is backed by men Of integ-
rity, 1t can always command the sup
port of it's bank for working capital.
Yet it is astounding how many small
businesses start without even confer
ring with a bank or banker. This is a
mistake The man who wants to
finance a small concern successfully
should get acquainted with his bank
ers, keep them in touch with the bust
ness and afford them every opportunity
to analyze its condition. There is no
finer security than the confidence of
your bank, and the cost of getting cap
1tal in this way is very small indeed
compared with the cost of underwrit-
ing more or less inflated issues of
stock.-Business.
