The real humOrist is the monkey However melancholy a monkey feels, he always lcoks funny.
 When you go into a store to buy, ever notice how heartily the merchant laughs at your jokes?
 Some farmers are always uncom- fortable when in town, from expect ing the town men to rob them.

 It is almost disgraceful, the man. ner in which the average widow braces up and begins to get better locking.
 Do you praise yourself more than you deserve, and abuse your neighbor more than he deserves? A good many do it.
 As soon as a man becomes particu- isrly clever in doing a certain thing people begin to pick at him and say hundreds of men are better.
 A man shows the first evidence of wisdom when he realizes that the scramble for a dollar is about as fierce in one town as in another.
 When an agent calls on you. re- member that if he succeeds in his designs on you he makes a big profit, while you pay a high price for some thing you do rot need.

All Teams Were in the Game But the
Same Old Hard Luck Story Arose
From Each Player 1--WE Could
Not Make Them FAIL
Standina of the Teams.

Last evening the clashing of pins
could be heard at the Drexel where
the Drexels met the remnants, and
lost three straights, and the Grand
Leaders faced the Power City team on
the Olympia alleys, and grabbed two
out of three from the cigar makers.
Senator Watson, who recently sign
ed up with the Grand Leaders, stated
at, the termination of each bout that
he could have rolled whole lot bet
ter game If he didn't have that rheu-
matte feeling in his shoulder. but at
that the veteran is consistent bowl
er, and is "there with the groceries"
in time OF need O'Bleness got high
average of IT'S for the Grand Leaders,
while Schneider got high average OF
1I3 for the Drexel aggregation. Nick
Lamprakis, star bowler, formerly
with the remnants. but who was fore
ed to tender his resignation on ac-
count of other business matters, stood
along the side of the alleys, picking
his fingers with an expression on his
face that would make the most hard
hearted individual weep The picture
of the dying calf was not in it with
the look little Nick carried on his
face throughout the entire match. The
following are the scores:

going through with It unless he Sc
cured powerful financial backing.
His $4,000 bonus to players meant
an expenditure Of nearly million dol
lars at the outset AS soon as each
of the ninety players had signed there
would be the salary matter, and pay
ing them at an average Of $4,000 a
year. Fletcher would have to nearly
have half million dollars additional
expense for the first year Of his league.
This big outlay is all for players
for the handful Of players he would
have taken away from the big leagues.
To fill out his eight-club circuit hi
would have to obtain many more play
ers. probably with more bonuses and
certainly with more salaries to be
paid.
No figuring On thousands and thous.
ands Of dollars in incidental expenses,
Fletcher would have to pay great
deal more for grounds and for building
stands than he would for his players.
Franchises in every city, money for
grounds and money for building COM
Portable accommodations for the
crowds of thousands that would be
necessary to make the league sue
cess all these would cost millions
more
While some of the magnates perhaps
felt a little worried concerning the
Fletcher furry, seriously speaking,
neither President Stanley Robinson or
President Hedges gave much thought
to the whole affair. Reason for this
lack of worry was brought about
through the fact that both the st.
Louis teams were so low i'll the race
that the bubble CT new baseball
leagues cared but little for any of the
players on either of the clubs.
1t was said, however, that Honey
of the Cardinals had signed up a con.
tract with Fletcher. Ed. SO it ap-
peared, was about the only real live
one here in town, outside of Bob Wal
lace, that -talkedof Mr.. Fletcher
seemed at all anxious to do business
with. Whether or not Wallace was
approached on the subject of jumping
to a third league was never known
and no doubt never will be now that
Mr.. Fletcher and the time for making
good has finally reached point where
every one will have to be shown"

state fair, In which every association
feels interested.

MONMOUTH. H., Feb. 10.-Mon-

a team believed to be good enough to
compete with any in the Central AS
ISOLATION has been signed. This does
not mean, however. that any good
men will be cast aside without consld-
Grafton, but it is true that if His Ma
jesty the Jumps called the team 10
action tomorrow afternoon, Monmouth
would be able to put good team IN
to play.
This mornings mail brought to
Manager Stark plenty of good news.
One thing which the mail contained
was the acceptance of terms by JAKE
Eul. an old Three-I player. who is
known to be a good man. He plays
outfield, but can pitcn good enough
to hold Windy Lotshaw or any such
boys as he. He will probably be asked
to locate in one of the outfield posi-
lions and will undoubtedly make good
from the start.

Envy Her Lovely Hair?

When YOU see woman who uses
this dry shampoo to- dress her hair
instead OF soap, water, soda and the

the looks of admiration and envy
which other women and girls cast at
her.
The following homemade dry sham

Highly Recommended.

Two other youngsters who are high
" recommended, also sent in terms
and they have been accepted. Both
hail from Gary, Ind, one being a
pitcher. Buright by name. and the
other is an outfielder named Harry
Jackson. Both of them are touted as
corners by Jack Mullen, an old Thrce-
l man who managed a semi-pro team
in Gary last year. He recommended
Hauser to the Three-I and also Faber.
Hauser was bought by st. Louis and
was a sensation last year, and Taber
was drafted by Pittsburg last fall and
goes there this spring. These, with
the old men whom we have and the
youngsters who have been signed,
should fix Monmouth up right.

Promising youngsters.

Another which is ready to give to
the fans, and which has caused the
manager of the Browns as much gen.
uine pleasure as any other, is the ac-
ceptance of terms by Roxy Wolters,
another old Three-I star, who man
aged a team in Canada last year. He
is pitcher but has played outfield
and is a great sticker Roxy is an
old friend of Stark's, and has agreed
to do any duty on the ball field that
the managers asks of him. He has
been signed with the understanding
that he Will play ou.neld and pitch
when he is needed. 1t is likely that
he will be used in the box almost
regularly. These two. Wolters and Eul,
should run the opposing fielders to
death before the season is over if they
hit up to their old time form Both
are in fine condition and able to per-
form with the youngsters.
