HORSE ATE HER NEW HAT

The incident happened aboard
Long Island railroad ferryboat, and
the boat was crowded. Talking with
friends forward was welldressed
young woman, whose hat was of the
latest style, trimmed with something
resembling ribbon grass. A horse saw
the hat trimming as II swayed In
front of his nostrils. shifted a bit, and
then craned his neck to get nearer
Then he suddenly nibbled the material
he thought was grass, and held it
firmly in his jaws.
Greatly frightened, the woman did
not move, but uttered a few shrieks.
which brought several men to her
side. They were cruel enough to laugh
Drivers gathered around the horse and
tried vainly to coax him to release
the trimming. Finally a garden truck
vender placed a bunch of carrots in
front of the horse. and the trick was
done. He opened his jaws for the
tempting vegetables. and the impris
oned trimming was liberated

FATE OF SCHOOL OF WHALES

stranded there. The whales, among

tered the shadows. All attempted to
jump backward into deep water. only
to fail in every effort. AS the tide re-
coded the huge animals were left
foundering on the sands, In which they
half buried themselves in their strug-
giles Unable to help themselves they
persisted in a short time A number
OF persons who saw the spectacle
formed syndicate with a capital OF

the carcasses. They have already OBJ

ANCIENT DANCE OF DEATH

On the road from Trent to Madonna
oil Campiglio, little to the north of
P1nzolo, stands the interesting mortu-
airy chapel of San Vigilio which bears
upon its south wall painting of the
Dance of Death" dated 1861 and
some verses in Italian.
The Dance of Death" like the Ober-
ammergau Passion Play and the early
English mystery plays, was orig
lnally spectacular play Of semi
rehglous origin. 1t has been traced
back to the middle of the four
tenth century, in which the fire.
quent destructive epidemics brought
vfvidly before the people the subject
or death and its. universal sway over
mankind. The dramatic movement
then developing led 20 its treatment in
the dramatic form. In these plays
Death appeared not as a destroyer but
as messenger of God summoning
men to the world beyond the grave, q.
conception familiar alike to Holy
writ and the ancient poets. At the
flrst or these observances Death and
MS victims moved at a slow and dig
nlhed pace But later Death. con
celVed as acting the part of q mes
senger, naturally took the attitude and
movement OF the traditional messen-
gers OF that period-namely, the fid-
dlers and musicians-and the Dance
OF Death" was the result
The purport of the play WIS to teach
the truth that all men must die and
that they should therefore prepare
themselves to appear before their
Judge. The scene of the play was
usually the cemetery, or tho church
yard; in rare instances the church
Itself. The spectacle was opened by
sermon on the certainty of death, de-
livered by a monk.
AT the close Of the sermon there
came forth from the charnel house a
number of figures dressed in the ira
ditional garb of Death a close-itting.
yellowish linen suit, painted to reseni-
Bile skeleton. One of these addressed
the intended victim, who was invited
to accompany him beyond the grave
The Invitation was not accepted, and
various reasons were given for de-
cltninG it, ont all such reasons were
declared to tc insufficient, and Death
finally led away his victim. A sec
ond messenger seized the hand of a
new victim, a third did likewise. and
SO on until the usual number a. had
been led away This terminated the
play, which was followed by a second
sermon, emphasizing the lesson of the
representation.

a New Sensation

Little Jean had visited one of the
large summer amusement parks for
the first time, and with the courage
possessed only by those girls whose
playmates are boys and girls older
than themselves, she had not hest
tated, when invited. to take a ride on
one of the "thrillers" that abound IN
such places.
To her mother. on her return from
the park, she confided the emotions
she had experienced as she swept
round the curves of the figure eight"
with her elder brothers
Mamma she said, when I went

VAST SALT BEDS IN KANSAS

Instead of gas or oil, a company
prospecting In Lincoln county, Kan
sas, encountered salt at a depth of
57i feet. Since then the prospect
hole has been put down to 700 feet.
and the drill is still in salt 1t is be-
lieved the bed is 200 feet thick. A
statistician has figured that there are
more than 10000, 0OO,00O.O0O barrels of
salt in Kansas. The deposit as out
lined is $50 miles long and 40 miles
wide, and covers an area of about
5000 square miles, practically in the
center Of the state from the north
boundary to the south. The beds range
from 400 to 1000 feet below the sur
face.

Lead in Salt Industry.

The six leading states in the salt
industry are Michigan, New York,
Ohio, Kansas, Louisiana and Cali

The salt from these states is obtained
from rock salt, sea water and natural

STAGE FRIGHT IN EVIDENCE

BALTIMORE. Nd. October lathe
curtain was lowered on the stage at
Oriole Park yesterday for the remainder
of this season, and it was not a very
suspicious occasion. 1t was not because
the Orioles and nearOrioles were de-
feated, but for the reason that some of
the playing handed out was far below
par, or what they were capable of doing
The score was to 1 in favor of the
invaders.
Poor fielding and some more poor field
ing marked the game here and there. The
long lay7off probably had something to
Go with the miserable showing on several
occasions. Yet at other times the work
was mediocre. AT the bat the Orioles
were simply helpless before the pitching
of Walter Johnson, the speed demon of
the Nationals.
The manner in which few of the Birds
hit at the. ball reminded one Of the cam
paign to swat the fly in Baltimore this
summer. Walter famed eleven men and
allowed four hits. two of which were
clean. Schmidt got an infield tap to
Mcbride: COrcoran beat out a bunt to
Johnson: Walsh poled single to right,
and Murphy did the same to left.
In the fifth inning Johnson famed Mai
sci on three pitched balls. He served
three more to Twombly, one of them be-
ing a foul. Hooper missed connecting
twice and some of the others once. With
the regular Oriole team in the field the
score would have been smaller. The In
field could not get working together, nor
was Murphy sure of his position in CEN
ter.
The 2,4ss fans seemed to enjoy the oc-
ell ho 80
long hit to center field in the first inning
was one of the longest seen at OriOle
Park this season. He could have made a
homer by running a little. His double
was a scOrcher over second.
Germany Schaefer. the comedian, kept
the crowd in an uproar now and then by
his witty remarks. His coaching caused
some laughter. too. Hal Chase. at first
made several fine catches and was the
only man on his side to get more than
two hits. Street had lot to do, he hav-
ing four assists besides his put-outs.
Johnson never seemed to exert himself
He made 1t his business to get the ball
over the plate. And he did. Only twen-
ty-nine men faced him. one getting around
the circuit and the other being left on
base The game was the quickest played
at Oriole Park this season. only one hour
and three minutes being required.
RUDE Vickers. despite the fact that he
was hit hard, twirled good ball until an
explosion occurred in the fifth round.
After that he trusted to his f1elders. For
the first four sessions the game was a
good one, notwithstanding some misplays.
