him in captivity.
On the contrary, the ostrich is
haughtily and stolidly irresponsible to
kindness. and so treacherous is he
when full grown that even his daily
attendants never approach him unless
equipped with the necessary appli-
ances to bring him TO terms when In

The ostrich's chief object in life

In Samuel Rogers and His Circle"
is this anecdote about Richard Person.
the famous classical scholar and pro-
fessor of Greek
When Hoppner, the painter. was re-
siding in a cottage a few miles from
London, Person one afternoon sud
denly arrived there. Hoppner said
that he could not offer him dinner. as
Mrs. Fl. had gone to town and had
carried with her the key Of the closet
which contained the wine. Person
declared, however. that he would be
content with mutton chop and beer
from the next alehouse and accord

During the evening Person said, 81

His host assured him that Mrs. II. had
no such secret stores; but, Person in
sisting that search should be made, a
bottle was at last discovered in the
lady's apartment, to the surprise of
Hoppner and the Joy OF Person, who
soon finished its contents, pronouncing
It to be the best gin he had tasted for
long time.

NAPOLEON LhOIE
 GREATEST BATShAN
His Average SurpaSSeS That of Wagner and Cobb at
 Long Range

NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-T. Ray mond Cobb, the RilEail Roarer O Royston, Ga, has earned the verdict as the greatest allaround ballpiayei that ever whirled upon spiked hOof
 But the greatest batsman that ever knocked the eternal epidermis of the ball is Napoleon Lajoie. still ;he glory of France and WOons0 0cket' g greatest citizen. When work with the war club is under discussion there is only one king. and his name is Larruping Larry, who still swings to his crown.
 At this point We might as we'll sit back and wait until the followers of Tyrus Cobb. Honus Wagner and oth, CTS get through with their roar Of re buttal
 Whats that-Laj1ie outhit Cobb?' says one. Why don't you take Q peep at the records?'
 That Frenchman a better hitter than Honus howls another ''Aw, wake up. The Dutchman's got him trimmed slI seven ways"
 But at the end of all the huIiabaloo the statement still stands that Lajcie is the greatest batsman the game has ever produced-greater than Cobb or greater than Wagner in the art oi hitting 'em where they ain't no hitting 'em too hard where they are.
 Across thirteen seasons the com plete records show that Laioie has amassed a grand average with the war club totalling -360. His closest rival is Pop" Anson, who travelled the 15-year journey and wound up with .344 S%asGeE's total mark is around tho same set of figures, with Willie Keeier close along Cobb may sur pass Laioie's towering mark, but even this will fail to prove that T. Ray .mond as a batsHial, is Larrys snpe- rior with the bludgeon. For Cobb. while a wonderful hitter,< has ainassed msny Q bingle through speed of ho7f rather than through keenness of eye.
 But where Cobb and Collins-and even WagneT-may pick up many a needed, binele through outsprinting some slow tap tc all infielder, Laioie, lacking this fieetncss of foot, has been forced to depend upon @ wonderful eye-the most wonderful in the game and tfFz meet deadly swing that ever caressed a triple or fired dou- ble beyond all reach.
 If Larry had the speed of Cobb or Collins he would hit .600-Aor rather, he would hit .6e0 if he could pick up as many infeld hits as this speedy couple attach each year. But in spite of this handicap, forced to dri' Q every hit out Of all reach or too hard to be grappled with, he still maintains his wonderful clip and to- day finds him well above .@Su.
 And there isn't a base hit in tie list that didn't come clean and free from the bat. due to his batting eye and not his speed of foot.

IN PHONE
 RATES IS GRANTED
Will Affect Line from BiSbee to Douglas = Other
 Cuts Made
Douglas InternatlonaIl


 It looks very much like the Mountain States Telephone & Tele~ graph company proposes to chase all the telephone glooms out of Douglas. With the inauguration of the long distance service yesterday came the announcement of a most welcome reduction in rates. which Douglas people will hs~e to pay for long distance telephone ser7tee in the future.
 The most important reduction was in the rate to Tombstone and that being the county seat. where much business is centered from all parts of the county. this will indeed be fully appreciated.
 The new rates from now until further notice will be as folows: Fl Paso. s1.5a for three minutes talk; Bisbee, 20 cents as against 25 cents before: Courtland. % cents, as against 50 cents; McNel, 15 cents and Benson 45 cents. as against s1 heretofore. Here is an i actual demonstration of the bene- fits which have come to Douglas with the arrival of the Mountain States company and their consoiida- ton of the several telephone com panies Of the county.
 Improvements Will Continue.

WILSON WITH STAFF
 RESEATS 4 SLIGHT
Was Asked to Welcome Taft as Private Citizen by
 Committee

TRENTON. N. j., Aug. 1S.-When Gov, Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey arrived in Ocean Grove Tuesday with his entire stan in full regalia and as- sumed 10 welcome President Taft, the climax of a unique controversy in the social side of politics was reached.
 The governor considered the invl- tation sent to him by former Govern or Edward C. Stokes and Congress man John F. Andrus of YcDkers as at least a distinct slight, if not a piece of efrontery, his Friends say.
 Mir. Stokes and Mir. Andrus are members of the reception committee in charge Of the arrangements for the presidents visit to the Ocean Grove camp meeting Of Methodists. Govern or Wilson, it is said, was invited to attend in his capacity of private cit izen and sit upon the platform"
 On receiving this frosty summons the governor was indignant, taking the stand that he, as the executive of the state, was the proper person to welcome the chief magistrate of the nation.
 He sent word to the committee that he would attend the meeting with his stan and he ordered the members of the latter to be prepared 10 attend him in their full regalia MT. Stokes idea and that of Mr. AndFus in invit- ing Mir. Wilson as a private citizen. it is said, Was to avoid the appear ance of giving special publicity to the Wilson presidential movement for 1912.
 Former Governor Fort, it is de- clared by his friends, is as indignant as Mir Wilson over the form of the invitation.
