Young WARRIOR, the pitching sensa

league, can now and then be coaxed
into telling stories, says writer in
the Cincinnati Tlmes-Star. One was
of an early adventure, when he had

of my early heroes" said he, was
an old pitcher. He had been a lead,
Ing figure In the game in the days OF
Its development. Then he became an
umpire, but a somewhat hasty temper
kept him from complete success. He
finally quit the game definitely, under
a rain of pop bottles, and only now
and then could be persuaded to talk
Of the old tricks he had once used
with effect. In order to live he had
opened a dairy. Every morning he
drove about the streets and delivered
milk. ... "a ~.@ 49,. ~.
Il rode with him one day. We came
to new house and the freshly laun-

the owner had just moved in. The
old pitcher, on the alert for a possible
new customer, knocked at the door.
A good looking young woman respond
ed to his knock, he stated his errand,
and she thanked him for his cour-

Tenacious OF Life.
The prickly pear is said to be SO
tenacious Of life that a leaf or even
a small portion Of leaf, If thrown on
the ground, strikes out roots within
a short time and becomes the parent
Of a fast growing plant.

prickly pear may be. it is not without

though rather deficient in favor. is
delightfully."- cool and refreshing in the
dry heat OF summer, and kind Of
treacle is made from 1t.
Great caution must be exercised in
peeling this curious fruit, the proper
way being to impale the fruit on a
fork or stick while one cuts 1t open
and removes the skim The individ-
ual who undertakes to pluck this
treacherous fruit with unguarded fin
gers meets with an experience he does
not soon forget. Concentrated essence
of singing nettle seems all at once
to assail hands, lips and tongue, and
the skin. wherever it comes in con-
tact with the i'll natured fruit, is COW
cred with a group Of minute bristly
hairs, apparently growing from it and
venomous and irritating to the last de-
gree. ~ II s. -s~| ...z
In dry weather these spiteful little
stfngs do not even wait for the newly
arrived victim, but fly about, light as
thistledown, ready to settle on any
one who has not learned by experience
to give the prickly pear bush wide
berth.

This season will probably be the last

the Athletics III
If the Athletics win the American
league pennant and the team is In
good shape for next season, Mack's
retirement is almost certain.
Connie is stakeholder in the Ath.

PRINTING THE BILLS.

The house has acted wisely in de-
Gliding that all the bills introduced In
that body shall be printed. North Da-
kotans do not care to have star cham
Der legislation. Secrecy in public
matters is not beneficial. The people
OF the state are entitled to know the
nature of the bills introduced and are
willing to pay for it.
Economy is much to be desired, but
this is scarcely the place to make the
cut.
There is one phase of the bin print
ing, however, on which economy could
be exercised. There are frequently
bills introduced in both houses, which
are Identical Instead of burdening
the state with a duplication-it is un-
necessary to print more than the title
with a reference to the number of the
same bill in the other house. When
similar bills are printed they are
merely "pick- ups"-the only changes
necessary being that of the heading.

DoDGING HATTERAs.

Old Cape Hatteras, the terror of
coastwise shipping along the eastern
seaboard, is soon to be robbed of most
of its dangers.
Already the inside waterway about
Hatteras has been opened-and it will
not be long until it is dredged deep
enough to permit the passage of small
vessels.
Diamond Shoal Lightship has long
stood watch over the most dangerou1
crags which jut out of the Atlantic off
the American coast. These rocks
combined with the treacherous winds
and currents due to the closeness of
the gulf stream-have long been the
terror of navigators.
Captains are never easy when APP
preaching Cape Hatteras-and to small
craft it has always been a special men
ace.
The coast in the vicinity of Hatteras
is strewn with wrecks of sailing YES
sells which were unable to weather the
squalls common to that locality.
The new inside waterway will be
part of the protected course along the
Atlantic seaboard which will in effect
be canal, capable of adequate de-
Tense and an admirable protection tC
coastwise commerce-in time of war.

A NEW MOB PROBLEM.

If the correspondents are to be re-
lied upon, Kentucky is confronted by
wholly new phase of the problem OF
lynch law.
In what was at first reported as a
triple lynching at Shelbyville, it now
appears that there were only two men
killed. A rope broke, and one of the
victims of the mob made a break for
liberty-the mob following. This pris-
oner they overlook and shot to death
but in the excitement incident to his
effort to get away, another man who
was hanging succeeded in removing
the moose from his neck, and actually
escaped.
Now he is said to be in hiding, and
the governor of Kentucky is quoted as
saying that if this refugee really be
alive he will make every effort to see
that he does not fall into the hands OF
the mob again.
If this man who escaped can be
saved for services as a witness, he
will be able to bring a new element
into the problem o. the prosecution of
mobs
He knew many of the men who killed
his fellow prisoners and who attempt
ed to kill him.
The difficulty in bringing previous
mobs to trial has been that no wit
nesses could be brought to identify
members of a mob, or t, testify against
them.
If the statements as outlined in the
foregoing prove to be true-a witness
will lie able to identify a body of men
who are deliberate murderers.
If these men are not punished as
deliberate murderers, let Kentucky
confess that it's laws are a mockery
and farce.
