NOW FOR THE BIG GAME
The Flats, and Leans" Are in Ac- tive Training, Mental Only,
 to Play Ball.

As promised some weeks ago, a feature of the Fair next week will be a game of ball between business and professional men of Mena, who represent the extremes in avoirdu- pois. The members are training hard for the contest by the appli- cation of large doses of mental en- thusiasm. It's too hot for physical exercise.
 The Fats, no one of whom shall tip the scales at less than t0C pounds, and who may weight 1000 for all his opponents care, are to be explained by A. L. Kirby. His team, which it is suspicioned is packed" with two or three men who at some time really knew how to play ball, is as follows:
 Mark P. Olney, Judge Wright Prickett, w. P. Harman, Luther Bolton, Frank Atwood, Dr. ]. k Davis, Clyde Cunningham, Ber Strauss, c. F. Crawford, Mir. Mas son and at least 90 others if these wear out while running bases.
 The Leans" often referred to as skins" are to be led to the picnic or slaughter, as the case may be, by Mayor Tom R. Jones. Now it is not of record, so far as most folks know, that Mayor Jones knows a baseball from tennis ball, or a balloon, but he's all right as to x.taiuhf Ua,o ibtn alr,nof oa thin as his son, Tom R. Jones, Jr.. who is also to play, and casts a shadow only when he stands very still for al least minute, and this on bright day. Besides the two Joneses, the team on which the mayor leans, is as follows.
 Brewer Haynes, I. M. Green, Ezr; Cunningham, John Burnes, Georg, Petit, John Wise, Charles A. Smitf and Charles Hagan. It is understood that there is a large number of vol unteers ready to do or die if any oi the slender ones are broken by the rude treatment of the heavyweights And though all love peace, there can be no peace until this fray is over.
 It will occur at 3 o'clock sharI on Thursday, August i7, and will bs free to everyone, though anyone afflicted with weak hefrt is advised to stay away for fear he may laugf himself to death.
 Every store in town ought to clos, for this occasion.

As the Girls Used to Appear.

Backward, turn backward, oh Tims m your flight, and give us a maiden dressed proper and right. We are so weary of switches and rats. lilly Burke clusters and peach basket hats. Wads of jute hair in 2 horrible pile, stacked on their h, ds to the height of mile. Some thing is wrong with the maidens. We fear; give us the girls as they used ppear. Give us the girlies we once knew of yore, whose curls didn't conn f.or1 a hair dressing store. Maidens who dressed with a sensible view, and Just as Dame Ma ture intended ttiiieiiffii te see. Give ns q girl with figure her own, and fashioned divinely by Nature alone. Feminine styles getting fiercer each ear-0h, give us the girls as they used to appear.-sterling (Kas.) Journal.

London, Aug. t0.-The neighbor- hood of the docks is practically under mob rule today as a result of the strike of the dock workers Calling out the troops seems inev- itable, the police being unable to deal with the emergency.

Thousands of tons of fruit and vegetables and provisions are rotting on the wharves. Unless they can be moved soon, they threaten to endanger the general health.

SHALL THE HUSBAND COOK?
A Chicago Judge Favors It, But . New York Justice Doesn't.


 Viola Justin in New York Mail. If he can't cook a man shouldn't we'd" says Municipal Judge Good now of Chicago, who recently cen- sured man for calling on his wife to rise at 3:30 o'clock to get his breakfast. The Chicago judge is a good chef and is proud of it.
 I called on Supreme Court Justice Gorard just before he sailed for Europe, to see if he held the salGe opinion as Judge Goodnow on the subject of cooking and found to iny surprise that he considered cooking too "effeminate" a virtue to encour- age in man.
 "So you don't think a wife should get up in the morning and prepare her husbands breakfast?" asked Justice Gerard. shook my head vehemently.
 Not at 3:30 a. m.," I qualified. The justice laughed. Well, suppose that is pretty early, but al the same time cooking is too eff eminate an occupation for man. don't believe that's mans work Women are the best cooks"
 "On the contrary" l hastened to assure him, men make the best chefs"
 But chefs don't make the best men," he replied. For instance you wouldn't elect chef governor of the state."
