Eaton Coming Back.

Charlie Eaton, who led the Hatties-
burg pitching staff last year in the
percentage column, and was drafted
| by St. Louis at the end of the season
will wear a Hattiesburg uniform for
another year, and will arrive tomor-
row from Hot Springs for duty. Ne
gotiations have been in progress for
several weeks for Eaton's return and
he has many friends in this his home,
who will welcome him back and want
to see him play good steady ball this
year. The St. Louis manager decided
that Eaton, needed another year in
minor league company. Eaton want
ed to play in Hattiesburg, though
Houston in the Texas league wanted
him. st. Louis finally agreed to let
us have Eaton for $500, retaining the
option to buy him back any time be-
fore August goth at $500. In case St
Louis does not exercise her option by
August goth Eaton becomes the prop
erty of Hattiesburg.
/ Smith Expected Tomorrow.
Hattiesburg's pitching staff will be
strengthened by the arrival of Smith
from Montgomery tomorrow. Smith
pitched fourteen games for Mont
gomery last season, and while he did
not set the woods on fire, he should
do better in slightly slower company
and then too, he is considered a better
man this year than last. Hattiesbure
has the promise of another Southern
League pitcher, so the outlook is tha
we will be rather hefty in the twirlinf
staff when the season opens.

Henry C. Roblnson's Proud Memory
Of the Time When Charles Dick
ems Spoke to Him In Hart
ford, Conn.

The late Henry c. Robinson of Hart
ford, Conn, one Of the leaders OF the
New England bar Republican candi'
date for governor Of Connecticut IN
1876, and prominently identified for
years with the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad as counsel and
director, was accustomed to say In the
latter part of his life that the two In
cidents of his career Of which he was
especially proud were these-he had
been member OF the famous class
of 1853 at Yale, Of which Andrew d.
White afterwards president OF Cor
nell university and minister to Ger
many, was valedictorian, and he was
one Of the very few boys In the United
States to whom Charles Dickens spoke
on his first visit TO America,
'T am sure that at no other time
during that visit did Dickens speak to
any American boy as he spoke to me, v
Mr.. Robinson told me. What he said
was not much, but It was Charles Dick

and that was enough.
'T was between eleven and twelve
years of age when Dickens came to
Hartford IN 1S42. He had been spend
ing a day or two In Springfield, Mass
and he insisted upon making the tr'p
from Springfield to Hartford By the
little steamboat which at that time
piled between the two cities upon the
Connecticut river He told his friends
that he wanted to see the Connecticut,

OLD ENGINE DRIVER DEAD
Leon o. BarcIft Ran the Locomotive
That Killed Nine Newark Chill
dren In 1908.

Leon o. Barclift, sixty-three years
old, engineer Of the Lackawanna ex-
press train that collided with a Cliff
ton avenue trolley car on February
10, 1903, killing nine high school pu-
pills, died recently In st. MichaeIs
hospital, Newark.
Barclift suffered severe injuries at
the time of the Clifton avenue disas-
ter, and never fully recovered from the
shock. He worried much over the loss
of the lives of the school children.
He was taken to the hospital on Feb
ruary 16, the same institution where
he was carried badly injured at the
time of the fatal accident. He was
suffering from hardening OF the
arteries and an anaemic lung, and
was in very weak condition.
On February 10, the eighth ami
versary of the disaster, Barclift re-
called the wreck to mind and remarked
to his wife, who was at his side:
"It's terrible to think that am
back here in the same hospital where
l was just eight years ago to-day"
When Barclift was employed by the
Lackawanna railroad as an engineer
he lived at Gladstone, N, ]. On seav'
ing the hospital he moved to Newark.

Now that David Bennett Hill, three

with his career that have both MS

Some Queer Brushes.

The cat carries her clothes brush in
her mouth, for with her rough tongue
she cleanses her glossy coat as a
boy brushes off his clothes. She licks
one Of her front paws and rubs it over
her face, and she is ready for her
breakfast.
Foxes, dogs and wolves do not use
their mouths when they need to wash
and brush, but scratch themselves Wig
orously with their hind paws and are
as fresh as ever,
The COW, with her long, rough
tongue, combs her coat of hair until il
is clean and curly The horse, more
than any other animal, depends on his
owner to keep his coat in proper con
dition, but often he will roll on the
green grass or rub himself down
against tree or fence.
Field mice comb their hair with
their hind legs, and the fur seal IN q
similar manner spends as much time
as a woman in making herself look
smart.
Although the elephant appears to be
thick skinned and callous, he takes
great care Of his skin. He often
gives himself shower bath by draw
ing water into his long trunk and
blowing it on the different parts OF
his body. After the bath he some
times rolls himself in a toilet prepara
tion of dust to keep OFF the flies.
