Distribution of Games.


Keokuk, Ottumwa, Hannibal and
Muscatine are given two holidays and
the other cities one each. All of the
clubs have nine Sunday games at
home.
Keokuk opens at Burlington, Mus
catine at Kewanee, Hannibal at Mon
month, and Ottumwa at Gal6sburg.
The season opens on May and closes
on Labor day. In several instances
two clubs play four and FIVE games
in a stretch, this being one of the
points of objection that will likely be
raised to the chart.
Decoration day-Kewanee at Bur-
lington, Galesburg at Monmouth, Han
nibal at Muscatine, and Keokuk at Of
tumwa.
Fourth of July-Ottumwa at Keokulz,
Muscatine at Hannibal, Burlington at
Kewanee, and Monmouth at Galesburg.
Labor day-Galesburg at Keokuk,
Burlington at Ottumwa, Monmouth at
Muscatine, and Kewanee at Hannibal.
No. 8 UnfavorabIe to OttumWa.
In the third schedule submitted no
mileage for the clubs is given, the
author stating in his letter to Presi-
dent Justice that the club always in
sist on figuring the mileage them
selves.
In this schedule the opening is
somewhat different. Keokuk opens at
Burlington, Hannibal at Ottumwa,
Monmouth at Kewanee, and Muscatine
at Galesburg. -..o .-
DECORATION day-Galesburg at Keo-
kuk, Kewanee at Hannibal, Ottumwa
at Muscatine, and Burlington at Mon
mouth.
Fourth of July--Muscatine at Bur
lington, Ottumwa at Galesburg, Ke-
vance at Keokuk and Monmouth at
Hannibal.
Other schedules are expected in a
few days, as several other makers are
at work preparing their charts. 1t is
believed that the fact that the makers
are not put under close restrictions
some of the best schedules the league
mas ever had will be submitted to a
vote of the directors.

The old gentleman is very rich. hut he loves to live around with his rela- tiVes, not because he's stingy but sim ply because he likes them and knows they are good listeners
 Uncle Peter sat down on a rock oyerhanging the clay bank which sloped up about four feet above the his expensive rod, placed his fish bas- ket near by and entered into a disser tation on angling that would make old Ike Walton get up and leave the aqua rum.
 In the meantime Tacks decided to do some bait fishing. so wltn an old case knife he sat down behind Uncle Peter and began to dig under the rock for worms.
 Fishing is the sport of kings" the old man chuckled; "an' it's a long eel that won't turn when trodden upon. If you're not going to fish, John, do sit down, You're throwing a shadow over the water and that scares the finny monsters. fish diet is great for the brain, John! You should eat more fish,
 There's many true word spoken from the chest" I sighed, just as Uncle Peter made his first cast and cleverly wound about eight feet of line around a spruce tree on the op- posite bank
 The old man began to boil with eX- citement as he pulled and tugged in an effort to untangle his line, and just about this time Tacks became the author of another spectacular drama
 In the search for the elusive worm that feyerish youth known as Tacks the Human Catastrophe, had finally succeeded in prying the rock loose and immediately thereafter Uncle Pe- ter dropped his rod with yell of ter

 Soft caps of fur or fur fabrics are easily made at home. The crown is in four sections. like boys jockey cap. and the brim a slightly curved collar. which is wide enough to turn up about the crown This is lined with silk or satin A fine wire may be introduced in the outside brim edge to advantage. It should be put in between the fabric and the lining. and will serve to keep the hat shapely
 Such hats of plush or fur are very comfortable-a real protection to the head and the becomingness is a new discovery. It Is all in adjusting tht right shape to the head in the right way.

Cut steel and rhinestone predomi- nate in the shoe buckle for decorating the evening slipper this season In the cut steel. which has a very refined ap- pearance. the designs are very beauti- full. The buckles made of this mate rial seem to be the leading ones.
 They are made oblong and large. and though this is actually the choice among the metals, there are other sizes and other metals still available. for though 1t is quite new. 1t does not exclude any of the others that with some are still popular.
 Rhinestone buckles are favored next to steel and there is a wide variety of these from which to make a choice.
 Small and large ornaments, square and round ornaments. oblong and star shaped ornaments-in fact. in the rhinestone one can get an ornament in almost sny shape a person desires.

soul l couldn't be afraid of burglar whose speciality consisted of falling in the cellar and swearing till help camel"
 After breakfast l was dragged away to the brook to fish for lamb chops or whatever kind of an animal 1t was that Uncle Peter and Tacks decided would bite Aunt Martha posted of to the city on urgent business, the na ture of which she carefully concealed from everybody.
 Clara J. said she'd be delighted to have the house all to herself for an hour or two. there were so many rooms to look through and so many plans to make.
 Uncle Peter gave her his bow and arrow with full instructions how to shoot If danger threatened, and Tacks carefully rubbed the steps leading up 10 the piazza with soap so the bur glar would fall and break his neck. Then the little shrimp called my at tention to his handiwork and demon strated its availability by slipping thereon himself and going the whole distance on his face. He didn't break his neck, however. so to my mind his burglar alarm failed to make good.
 The fact that Bunch was sore wor- ried me, and I began to realize that 1t was now only Q question of Q few hours when I'd have to crawl up to Clara J. and hand in my resignation.
 Every time drew q picture of that scene and heard myself telling her was nothing but a fawn-coiored four flush I could see my future putting on the mitts and getting ready to hand me one.
 And when I thought of the dish of fairy tales l had cooked foY that girl l could feel something running around in my head and trying to hide. l sup pose 1t was my conscience. setting even with me for telling her had bought her Q country house. to ex' plain tho missing numbers from my pay envelope, which had in reality been left with the bookmakers at the track.
 At the brook Uncle Peter began to throw out hints that he was the orig. inal lone nsherman. The lobster never lived that could back away from him, and as for fly casting. we'll, he was Piscatorial Peter. the FAncy E1sh Charner from V1shkill.

Bunch was out of the tolls of the law He had loaned me his country house for a day, and l had presented 1t to Clara J. intending 10 take it right back. I had used ghost stories and burglars as levers with which to pry her loose from her ownership of Trouble villa, but she wouldn't part w.th i$. Bunch, as the phoney bur giar, had been gathered in by the viii lnee constabulary, but had escaped; ard I was returning from the shadow ot tne pen.
 When I reached the cottage I found all the members of my household dressed for the day and lined up on the piazza, eager for news from the battlefield.
 s Gee whiz," exclaimed Uncle Peter 'the boy is hareheaded! Where's your hat, John?"
 2 Mercy! hope you're not scalped!" Aunt Martha cried, sympa thetcaly.
 l explained that the desperado put up a stiff fight against Diggs the con stable and myself warming up to the subject, went into the details of a hand-to-hand struggle that made them all shiver and blink their lanterns. When finally I finished with the statement that the robber knocked us both down and had made successful break for liberty, Uncle Peter gave ex- precision to yell of dismay, and once again he and his bow and arrow held reunion.
 Amt Martha had just about decided to unite a fit of mysteries when Clara J reached for the kerosene bucket and threw oil>on the troubled waters.
 Lets drop all this nonsense about i. burglars and ghosts and go to break fast" she suggested. T don't believe there ever was ghost within sixty

CONCERNING USE OF PuUMES
Newest Trimming in Millinery Shows Styles Such as Our Mothers
 Never Dreamed Of

The newest trimming in millinery emphasizes the use of plumes. Such plumesl The word ccnjures up an in finite variety of styles of which our mothers or grandmOthers knew noth- ing, and fair women of today can be doubly grateful for the efforts of milli- ners.
 Garlands of plumes are used on broad, low hats. They are spotted and fiecked with color. and some are made of layers of different shades, giving a wonderfully irridescent effect.
 On velvet turbans the use of a sin gle plume attached at the front, and extending toward the back in a slant. ing line. is quite evident This line for the plume is used on large hats as well. And speaking of the wide. flat shapes leads us to the introduction of ostrich feathers to edge the brim. Two successful Paris r,illiners have done this with great effect.
 Feather rosettes are made of ostrich plumes. Concentric circles of cut feathers are placed around a jeweled center At the side of turban or on the upturned brim of large velvet hat this new type of ornament is ex. tremely chic.
 A feather band is being used on many large hats. Black and white plumes are favored Sor these orna- ments. They are detachable, hooking at one side This idea is attractive. rha nf trt inU n change of hat

 The rock reached the brook first, but the old gentleman gave 1t warm hustle down the bank and finished a close second. He was in the money, all right.
 Tacks also ran-but in an opposite direction
 For some little time my spluttering relative sat dumbfounded in about two feet of dirty water, and when finally dipped him out of the drink he looked like busy wash-day. Everything was damp but his ardor.
 However. with characteristic good nature. he squeezed the water out of his pockets and declared that 1t was just the kind of exercise he needed. He made me promise not to tell Aunt Martha, because she was very much opposed to his going in bathing on ac- count of the undertow. Then sneaked him up to his room and left him to change his clothes.
 On the piazza l found Clara J., her face shrouded in the afterglow of a wintry sunset.
 She handed me . telegram minus the envelope and asked me, with a voice that was intended to be cutting ly sarcastic. 'Is there any answer '" opened the message and read:
 New York. John Henry,
