Harris sons are % years of age and
are among the most remarkable twins
in the country. Both are feet 6
inches tall and muscular. With their
hats on their father cannot tell one

"our horse" and even "our girl" as
they frequently play joke on their

"HOME RUN" BAKER
never TAKES Drink
And Has Also Given Tobacco
the Go By

Philadelphia, Nov. 25.-J. Franklin
Baker, the man whose home runs won
the recent worlds championship for
the Athletics, would be astonished #
he was spoken of as a great teacher.
Yet he recently uttered a great truth
which should be impressed upon the
minds of every boy in the United
States. Here is what the greatest pop
ular hero of the American small boy
has to say:
u don't drink or smoke. Never did
drink or smoke. If any youngster
wants advice from one who doesn't
mean TO preach, there it is. Leave Gig
arettes or tobacco in any form alone
and don't touch booze now or at any
time. It's the usual advice and done
carry much weight as a rule. but COM
ing from a ball player perhaps it may
mean little more to the American
kids.
There is no rule about smoking in
the big league. They don't care for
you to smoke in uniform, though.
Some smoke, some don't touch tobacco.
The managers think the men are old
enough to know their own minds about
such things. Mine is the total abstin-
ence platform for both booze and to-
bacco.'
1t is not on any particular moral
grounds that Baker cuts out the drink
and tobacco, but because he wants to
be a tip-top baseball player, which he
is, and realizes that he can't be if he
in these vices.
Whisky and cigarettes don't give
man the eye which will enable him to
line out home runs against such pitch
ers as Christy Mathewson and Rube

MONSTER OF Deep
PURSUED A SHIP
Got Angry and RammGd Yes
sci Time After Time

Houston, Texas, November 25.-Ar
unknown monster of the deep, forty
feet in length, copper colored and with
head over 10 feet in width for fouI
days and nights played tag with the
fishing schooner Mendocino and when
the schooner failed to respond, vainly
tried to push it out of the sea.
The fish appeared the second day
out, coming to the surface about halt
mile astern of the Mendocine and all OF
the day it could be seen leisurely trail
ng the vessel, rolling over and disport-
ing itself as it keep pace with the ship
Fer three days the fish kept astern
Of the vessel when it decided to per
feet closer acquaintance. Putting on
speed it came abreast Of the ship and
started some antics which caused nc
little concern aboard the ship. RUM
ing along side it would scrape itself
against the side of the vessel. scoot
ahead and then roll and lay on its
back until the vessel caught up. Then
it would dive under the vessel or
swim around it as if in play
Evidently the fish became disguised
over the failure of the vessel to play
and planned fight. The watching
sailors suddenly saw the fish, sweep
ing leisurely astern, suddenly disap-
pear A minute later the vessel shook
from stern to stern as though hitting
a rock. 1t keeled little, but righted
itself as the fish came to view at is
side. Diving again and again the fish
iammed it's blunt nose on the bottom
of the vessel the result being only a
tremor.
Failing to make the vessel play or
fight the fish rose to the surface and
with mighty slap of its tail on lie
water sank from view. A few NOM
ents later it was sighted a mile astern,
swimming from the ship. That was
the last seen of it.
The monster evidently was we'll
along in years for it was covered with
barnacles, some as large as a saucer.
Revolver or rife balls fired from the
decvk Of the Mendocino at close range
mad no effect.
