Agriculture, in his address to the congress
declared that the most pressing problem
the southern states have to consider at
this time is their. agriculture.

come to it if you follow economic lines
with your usual characteristic energy"

period Of prosperity undreamed OF by the
age preceding you. In that period ] shall

1T WAS UP TO THE POLICE
Philadelphia Woman Took Her Rum
Away Husbands Clothes to Sta
tlon to Be Cared for There.

Asked why the policemen Of the
Eleventh and Winter street station are
noted for their respectful attitude
toward women, Lieutenant Barry said
recently:
1--WE have learned that 1t is exceed.
ingly hard to get ahead Of woman,
That is why we have such whole
some respect for her, perhaps"
Then the lieutenant repeated an
amusing incident which occurred a
day or two before.
A woman walked into the station
and dropped big paper-coVered par
eel on the floor in front Of the house
sergeant's desk.
Here are my husbands clothes, I"
she announced. He's left me and
haven't any use for them"
Neither have we," kindly but frank
ly admitted Sergeant Hamilton. You
had better take them back home,
lady"
'T'll do nothing of the kndl" she
asserted, her voice rising to shrek
my husband was citizen Of this
town and he lived in the Tenth ward
all his life; now he's skipped out, and
1t is up to you to take care Of his duds
for him. l WON'T
But this isn't a secondhand clio
thing store, and you had better do as
I suggest. Take them away, please"
Though she said she wouldn't touch
the things, the woman finally yielded
to the sergeants persuasive argu-
ment, and, bundling the parcel under
her arm, she trudged out Of the station
house with her head high in the air.
But five minutes later boy found
the bundle in the center Of flower
bed In Franklin square, not far from
the station.
"Geei" Hamilton exclaimed, as he
kicked the pile of CASTOR apparel I'M
der the desk. You never can get
ahead of a woman. Philadelphia

CANADIAN GAME OF Mobile
Description Of the Novel Sport Which
ls Heartily Engaged In by Boys
Of the Dominion.

The game OF Mobile, as described by
a Manitoba correspondent OF the Cir
Gle, requires two teams Of fiye each;
Goal keeper, back, right wing, left
wing and forward (or center). A goal,
made Of two posts FIVE feet high set
six feet apart and connected by a bar
at the tops, is stationed at each end
of an oblong field. say 5Ox30 yards, or
smaller even.
The players are armed with Mobile
sticks, which are OF oak the size OF
broom handles and a yard long. The
playing end is nearly pointed and in
II is driven a nail, the head being
filed OFF, leaving only half of the nail
protruding The mobiles are made Of
two pieces Of one-inch rubber hose 1h
inches long, tied TO the ends Of a string
that measures six inches between the
rings.
The game consists in keeping the
mobiles of the ground and carrying or
throwing them through the goal. Each
half is thirty minutes and the total
goals make the score.
The teams line up with goal keeper
at goal; the forward about twenty feet
in front, the back about half way be-
tween and the wings about ten feet
to left and right of the forward The
referee throws the Mobile in the air
midway Of the field and the game is
on.
Forwards play anywhere, wings also,
excepting that they must keep on the
left and right Of the forward, accord
ing to their points. The back helps
check assaults on the goal and attacks
only when the whole team, except
goal keeper, makes a rush attack The
goal keeper stays in goal except when
he must advance to stop the Mobile.
Rough play and all striking or trip
ping with the sticks are absolutely for
bidden. The referee has complete
control of the game. A scorer Judges
goals. The stick must not be pushed
through the rings and the string must
not be twisted onto the stick. The stick
is held in one hand only. 1t is allowa-
BILE to wrap the handle end so as to
get better grip.

Wilbur Wright, of the Ashbury
Park aviation meeting, said of dare
devil avlators:
These daredevils ought to be hurt
a little now and then. 1t teaches
them a lesson. Otherwise they have
too much faith in their luck. That
faith becomes as ridiculous as that OF
Hiram Bucktoss Of West Carrolton.
Hiram Bucktoss, a West Carroll
ton farmer, used to come into Dayton
every Saturday afternoon to shop, and
the boys at the feed store would take
many a rise out of him on account
of his faith. He'd believe anything
accede to the tallest propositions.
Zone Saturday, to see If he couldn't
shatter Hiram's faith, a Dayton wit
said:
"'Speakin' Of buffaloes, Mr.. Buck
toss, did / ever tell you that when l
was out west seen a buffalo up a
tree eatin' grapes"
Indeed said Hiram. He didn't
even look a bit startled, but only In
terested and pleased. Tndsedv
"'That's what said.' repeated the
wit. why, Mr.. Bucktoss, didn't you
never see no buffaloes up trees
"No,' faltered Hiram. No, can't
say l ever did Then he frightened
up. But I've often heard he added,
how very fond they are Of grapes"

preparing parts of certain machines
for nickel-plating are a few of many
occupations that can be prohtably
followed by intelligent blind people.
Should not these unfortunate citizens
Of the state have the chance to be
occupied2
1t is only as people with sight will
seek the opportunities and secure
the positions that many of these
sightless ones will be thus engaged.
True friends OF the blind will let
their sympathy find expression in
some other way than pity that ends
either in a gift of a penny or two,
or in some useless tears. Find places
where these may work in the home
town and give them the Joy of accom-
plishment and the knowledge that
they are rendering efficient service.
