The readers of this paper will
be pleased to know that the
stores that advertise are the
safest places to trade. In the
first place they appreciate
your business enough to ask
for it. Then, again, they
tell what they have to sell
and for how much. You
know when you leave home
what you're going after, how
much it will cost and above
all, where you can get it.
1t is therefore not only to
your advantage as a shop
ping convenience to buy
from the stores that adver=
tise, but advantageous to
your purse as we'll.
Don't hesitate to buy from
the advertiser, you have
every reason not to, you have
not from the non-advertiser.

CANTILLON is TRlCKED
Washington Manager Fooled at
His Own Game.
eIevates Pitchers Box SO That White
Cox 1wirlers Couldn't Got Ball
Over Plate-Comfskey
Lowers HiS.

Long ago, when the world was
young." says Joe Cantillon, once man.
ager of Washington, Charlie Comis-
key and | were running rival teams in
the old Western league, and what we
didn't plan in the way Of jobs and
tricks upon each other wasn't worth
putting in the Book of Frauds. al
ways figured the great-hearted Comis-
key as my legitimate meat, and he
soon learned a few things on his own
account, so that the score was kept
fairly even as the days went by.
One time when COmmy's team
was slated for series on my grounds,
q really great idea struck me. In
those days there were no rules re-
stricting the height of the pitching
mound, and some awful elevations
we're constructed round the circuit l
resolved on making a hill such as no
pitcher ever used before, and l made
1t. too. The ground-keeper at my park
built up mountain, and trained my
hurlers on that mountain every morn
Ing for four days. When Comiskeys
gang arrived they were dumfounded to
see that Mount Whitney Of a pitching
hill, towering up above the diamond.
and with my pitchers grinning down at
them. But they kicked in vain; there
was no rule to stop me, and the game
began. For three days We had rich
fun with Commy's men. My pitchers
sent the ball swooping downward with
a speed and an angle of direction that
they couldn't touch, while Commy's
pitchers, unused to such an altitude,
were helpless. hitting the batters on
the feet and rebounding the ball from
the turf for wild pitches.
I'VE arrived in Comiskey's burg two
weeks later, and | felt pretty sure
that we had a cinch. No matter how
the old Roman might elevate his
pitching mound, he couldn't fool US,
for my pitchers were all trained to
the hill work. and could not be ratified
or put to the bad, even If they were
asked to throw from the summit of a
steeple. But when we got to Commy's
field We let go one long. lingering yell
Of anguish and despair. We were
tricked, beaten, tiim-fammed and
skinned alive.
Immediately after his return from
my town, so it seems, Comiskey got
busy with his plans for a dark re-
venge. He had his groundkeeper dig
a grave at the pitchers slab-an ex-
cavatlon about up to the hips of the
average man-and then he trained his
ourving force, day by day, to that
most difficult OF feats-throwing up
hill 1t is awful labor. but, of course.
a man can learn to do it, and by tho
time we appeared in the vicinity they
all had 1t down to perfection. Can
you imagine the finish?
my pitchers, trained to throwing
downward from a mountain, were abb
solutely done. They couldn't get the
ball anywhere near the batters and
map after man walked. while the few
feeble losses that came over the
plate were bsttsd half a mile. For
three days the carnage went on and
We were trimmed IL to 2, II to 3 and
II to s. Then Comisksy and I got to-
Gsthsc. agreed to restore our pitching
slabs to their normal altitude and
novsr again to try anything ON each
other"

Manning, who used to pitch for the
New York Highlanders, set down
Tyrus three times in a game played
in New York. That was some time

ging and Kissing Infants.

New York, Oct. 2O-"American babies
are being loved to death They are kissed
and husged and dandled until they die
1t doesn't make a baby happy to coddle
him. II makes him miserable. II
mothers would consider that a baby has
rights the same as grown persons, there
would be fewer sick babies and much
OF this harmful affection would be
abandoned"
Mrs. May Hines. matron Of the Sunny
side day nursery in Boston, makes this
statement, and DR.. Walter Bensel. super
lntendent Of the department Of child
hygiene for the board of health, declares
that II is true.
'Cnquestionably It would be better for
a baby never to kiss it. or even to handle
K, except when necessary" DR.. Bensel
said to-day
But every normal mother is going to
have some pleasure with her child. and
nobody would think of denying her.
If baby is properly taken care of
in other ways. a moderate amount Of
caressing does no special harm. But chill
dren can certainly be loved to death
If by love is meant continual handling
and dandling. Their whole nervous sys-
tenn is disorganized.
Suppose you take two kittens when
they are very young and give them dir-
ferent treatments. Feed one properly.

SNOW Is FALLING
AS TAFT SPEAKS
President Spends the Day
Crossing Wyoming.

New Castle, Wyo.. Oct. 20-This town
of the plains was put conspicuously on
the map when President Taft came here
to-day TO spend the night. 1t is about
the smallest hamlet in the country ever
to have had a real visit from a Presi-
dent The last census gave New Castle
a population of 975. Most Of its people
are cattle rangers and they wear. many
of them, the old. conventional cow
puncher attire, with broad -brimmed
sOmbrerOs. The President had nearly
the whole population of the town clus-
tered around him hen he spoke in a
slight snow fall from the steps of the
courthouse. The sun was just dropping
down over the plains when the Presi-
dent came to town, and 1t was a pic
turesque sight as the snow began TO
fall from the sky of purple and gold.
Gov. Carey, who is with the party, is
waiting to sound out the sentiment of
Wyoming before deciding whether he
will come out for La Toilette or Taft
for the 1912 nomination. AS the La Fol-
lette boomers have not penetrated very
far into Wyoming. it is uncertain If any
delegate for the Wisconsin Senator can
be marshaled.
During his stay here President Taft
is the guest of Representative MondelI.
The President made only two other
stops through Northeastern wyoming.
Early in the day he dropped off at Sheri-
dan, where he struck a baby blizzard.
Some several thousand of the S4O6 in
habitants OF Sheridan, including CurIey,
an old Indian, the only survivor of the
massacre of Clusters scouts, and Big
Medicine, Curleys chief, stood at the
curb and watched him pass.
The President spoke to 1,50O people in
a shed put up for revival meetings, and
then went to Gillette, where he spoke to
zoo plalnsmen from the rear platform of
his private car.
