in the front ranks last summer with an
average of .295 and fielded the third po-

either of these two at first, Moore at

gone like wildfire in the American out

LaJoie in the batting averages last sea-

training route.

THEY DID NOT MEAN 1T.
Mexican Soldiers Did Not Intention
ally Shoot at Americans.

San Antonio, Tex, April 4.-Full re-
ports on the firing on American troops
at Preside by the Mexicans have been
received here by General Duncan. The
investigation proved conclusively that
the shooting was unintentional. The
garrison at Ojinaga is besieged by the
insurrectos and shots are constantly
being exchanged.
A patrol was sent out from the gar
rison to reconnoiter and, while so en-
gagged, it was thought rebels were per-
ceived on an island in the Rio Grande.
The shot carried across the river and
landed near several American soldiers.

admittedly weak infield with Bobby

cause he couldn't get away. When he
did pry loose and went over to Sa-

Denver is a matter of conjecture as it
is hard to discover whether Kahl is a

Serving His Country.

A certain public office has been the
object OF much satire because OF the
passive nature of the incumbent's du-
tles-except when he is called by tragic
occurrence into the thick OF action. So
very negative. indeed. is the work OF
this public servant that he sometimes
serves his country most efficiently by
being absent, as appears in this extract
from Moses Colt Tyler's journal. writ
ten In Washington years ago:
President Grant never starts a con-
versation. but when It is started he
often says a neat thing, Last year
there was an excursion down the Po-
tomac. He was on board. with his cabi-
net and a quorum OF both houses.
"'Mr. President said Mrs. Judd,
who sat near him. It would be n pretty
bad thing TO have great accident hap
pen to this party. Nearly the whole
government would be destroyed
"'Yes, Mrs. Judd assented the pres
ident. but you observe that the vice
president has very prudently stayed at
home.'"

HOUSEHOLD NOTES
ey Maude e. ciIIsy.

Vinegar is a good thing to remove
stains from zinc table tops
In watering plants a little sweet
milk added will often benefit them.
To mend a torn umbrella stick black
courtplaster inside the tear. This
will show less than a darn.
A common large screw serves very
well as a pie crimper if pressed firmly
along the edge of the crust
When baking a "prize-pie" rub
sweet milk over the top and make it
smooth and even before baking.
For a fern that is not thriving, put
a little castor oil around the edge of
the pot, in a trench, and watch de-
velopments.
Fill halved peaches with whipped
cream and put grated macaroons over
the top, or dot the cream with candied
violets
Wood alcohol is excellent to clean
fine gold chain, If the chain is soak
ed in It for half an hour and then well
brushed.
A good way to toast bread is to
use a regular corn pepper. The long
handle enables one to stand back from
the heat.
A good way to remove mildew from
white material is to make a thick
paste of table salt and hutter and put
in the hot sun for a day.
For much-used ironing board
make two slips of heavy, unbleached
cotton cloth and use alternately 10
keep the board fresh and clean.
Wagon grease or wax spots from
candles should be scraped off and
lard applied. Benzine, naphtha,
gasoline and chloroform dissolve
grease.
Never blacken a kitchen stove
Wash it every day with clean soap
and water. This will leave it black and
smooth, and will not soil your hands
If gloves or garments of any sort
are cleaned with gasoline, add oil OF
cedar-a few drops-and the disagree
able odor will not be noticed.
Mice will not reopen a hole which
has been filled with any mixture con-
tanning lye. Flour and lye mixed
make a good paste for the purpose.
In taking out spots with gasoline
put a piece of fine blotting paper
underneath the cloth before applying
and no circle will remain after thC
material is cleaned.
To remove the yellow stains caused
on bathtubs and basins by the drip.
ping Of the faucets, use pulverizet
chalk, moistened with ammonia, anC
rub with an old toothbrush.

MAKING GOOD ROADS
UNITED STATES AWAY BEHIND
REST OF THE WORLD IN
THIS WORK.
EVOLUTION OF THE. HIGHWAY
Awakening Of the People to Necessity
for Road Improvement Slow Pro-
cess-state Governments at Last
Aroused-vote Money for Work.
BY HOWARD Il. GROSS.

Is it not strange that in this coun-
try, where we have the largest aggre-
gate of wealth that the world has
ever known and where we have
achieved the greatest success in hu-
man history along certain lines of en-
deavor, that we have failed to keep
pace with the march of progress, and
that we are century behind the rest
of the world in the matter of handling
public roads?
The conditions of the highways in
American are great surprise to the
foreign traveller, who has been used
to smooth, hard roads throughout his
land. Upon his arrival in New York
he Is overwhelmed by the ,immensity
Of the buildings and the gigantic scale
upon which everything Is done. A day
or two in the metropolis prepares him
to believe that Americans can do
anything and accomplish anything.
The resources of the country seem to
be boundless. In this frame of mind
he starts his journey westward, and
from the railway window he can see
roads that are practically bottomless
and teams struggling through the
mire that is nearly knee deep. He Is
perfectly amazed that such conditions
should obtain. He cannot understand
why 1t should be so in country that
has such marvellous resources. The
fact is that America is the only coun-
try In. the world that Is rich enough to
