SAME BATTERIES PERFORM ON
SUCCESSIVE Days. WITH
EQUAL RESULTS.
INrEkcoIlEeIA1E srANprNe.

Six errors by Hendrix tell the story
of Arkansas winning the second sue
cessive game with the local collegians,
which was the most decisive battle of
the season, probably carrying with 1t
the Intercollegiate championship. p.
Ward for the visitors and Rusty
Roberts for Hendrix, both of whom
had pitched on the previous day. were
in the box again, and, while the hon
ors between them We're about even,
Roberts would have won with any
thing like good support. Rusty
pitched splendid game, holding his
opponents to six hits and not issuing
pass. He also fielded his position
in great form and cut off a run by
backing up Garvey, taking Charles
high throw and putting out Barr at
third in the sixth. His feat of pitch
ing nine consecutive strikes, tanning
two and forcing Ward to pop the
ninth ball pitched to Scott, in the
first inning, was perhaps never wit
messed here before. Ward also pitch
ed a great game and in eight innings
held Hendrix batters helpless when
hits would mean runs.
Every Arkansas score was the di-
rect result of an error. In the second
with one down, d. Ward singled to
right and Reid let the ball get by him
Ward taking second, from which he
scored on Smylie's single. Stevenson
error cost run in the fifth. With
two down, Barr rolled one to first
baseman, who threw wild to Roberts
Barr going to second. Patillo's sin

legians went to pieces in the sixth
Howell's single, Scott's error, Harri-
sons two errors and Wilson's out

play the side would have been retired

LITTLE COATS ARRIVE
PARTISAN FAD HAS Caught ON"
IN AMERICA.
Coates, casaquins and Caracas Are
Characteristic Features OF Present
Fashions-Give Air of Oistinc-
ton to Costume.

Frenchwomen have accepted the
little coatees, casaquins and caracos'
which were one OF the most charac
teristfc features of the empire day
lreSses
They made their first appearance
short time ago and, since Dame fash-
ion has declared her preference LOT
empire and directoire styles, they
bounded at once into popularity. IL
fact. Paris has gone quite mad over
them-a way the inhabitants or that
fitful city have OF doing when any ne"
fad in dress is Introduced.
That being the case, it Is only
question OF time when the style VIII
become quite general here; in fact' q
few OF them are already seen on VIC
men who have recently returned from
trip abroad.
They are quantity picturesque and
simple in line, but possess q peculiar
quality that adds just the right note
OF distinction to the costume.
Imagine, il you can, the attractive
ness OF a perfectly plain skirt or pale
blue and white tatfeta, cut over q SIX
gore model, with panel back ana
front and having 4 raised waist line,
with the bodice taking the shape OF
little coatee OF pale blue wolfe. finished
at the high waist with small rounded
basque mounted on thick cord Gov
cred with plain blue taffeta.
The coatee finishes in the back with
two long coat-tails of irregular length,
cut square at the bottom and finished
with a narrow ball fringe which also
bordered the basque.
The front OF the coatee crosses in
front and is fastened at the waist with
a small fat rosette OF tiny pink rose
buds, the V-shaped opening being bor-
dered with collar OF finely pleated
lawn edged with blue: little guimpe
OF transparent tulle fills in the V.
These guimpes of tulle, by the way,
are growing in popularity.
Although seemingly perishable, they
really last remarkably long time.
They give a softness to the throat
that is unobtainable in any other way.
Many OF them are made OF tlesh-col.
ored tuIle, which when worn with al.
ternoon frocks gives them the appear
ance OF being decidedly decollete
With evening soWns for semi-dress oc-
casions they are wonderfully effective.
To return to the coatee, these little
garments are made of figured silk or
satin combined with plain skirts, or
vice versa. Others are Of cloth, vel.
vet. marluisettc, chiffon or even net
lined with a delicate shade OF satin
The cut can be varied to suit the
wearer, but they all are made with the
short e, .pire waist and elbow sleeves.

RATS ARE COSTLY vERMlN
Reports Show They Destroy Food and
Material Worth Over ~, 0oo,o 900
Each Year In England

The reports from various East
Anglican { England) districts Of pro-
posed immediate official action for
the destruction Of rats show that the
danger of an influx of the vermin to
the country surrounding the scene
of the original warfare in the Or
well peninsula has been fully real
lied.
From reports which the Incorpo-
rated Society for the Destruction Of
Vermin collected a little while ago
it was shown that in all parts of the
country the number Of rats was in
creasing and their damage getting
worse.
"By way of the throat of the rat, "
it was stated, "there is wastage Of
more than $75,0OO,000 worth Of
good food and material per annum."
The conclusion reached was that
nothing short of concerted national
action would ever be able to solve the
rat problem

absolutely nothing unless the man.
agement of the institution is above
reproach. The average business man..
in consulting a bank statement,
would not imagine that loans, bonds,
securities and circulating notes
could be so easily juggled with. That
is, however, according to Chalmers
Lowell Pancoast, in The Worlds
Work, an easy matter if the officials
of the bank are not honest. Chief
among the essentials Of a safe bank
Mr.. Pancoast mentions honesty and
a wide experience in financial af-
fairs. With either one of these quail
tiles lacking, the stability of the in
stitution is greatly impaired. Natu-
rally, a business man wants to deal
with banker who has character, vet
at the same time he does not have
confidence in an honest banker un-
less the man also has wide expert
ence in financial affairs. Honesty
and a broad financial knowledge
must go hand in hand; a banker
must be partner to business man
in every way possible.

RULES FOR LONGEVITY.

Josiah Zeitlin, said to have been
Brooklyn's oldest citizen, is dead at
the age Of 100 years. He was a
child in Moscow when the Russians
burned that city at the advance of
Napoleon, and when the United
States and England were engaged in
their second conflict.
He was born in 1904 in LODI,
Poland. He retired from business
in Moscow 80 years ago and came to
this country soon after. He leaves
three sons, the oldest of whom is
seventy-six years old. and Is grand
children.
His rules for longevity we're:
"Don't worry. Never be in a hur-
ry. Don't eat what you call quick
lunches. Take but little meat, es-
pecially in early life. Sleep eight
hours day. Never fool with doc
tors, and don't 60 into a drug store
except to get stamp or to consult
the directory. When you reach the
age of ninety years you may do
about as you please. New York

EXAMINATION IN FLocoIMc.

Quoting from Student Life in
the Middle Ages" paper recently
read by G. D. Burns Of Bradford,
we learn that in the taking up Of q
degree in grammar at some Of the
universities the prospective school
master had to provide himself with a
birch and boy, and as q part Of his
examination he had to administer a
fogging to the boy in public, the
boy being given groat for his serv-
ices. A large part Of the education
lay in debate between the boys, under
the supervision Of the master, the
method bringing out the boys rea-
soning powers instead Of merely
examining them with facts, as is too
often the method Of today.-Univer-
sity Correspondent.
