SOLOMON CAESAR.

i don't wants to be no king!
No, sch, / wouldn't be no queen
nuther
With these blithful ingram
NAUTICAL sentences a coIe-black
little negro-Solomon Caesar
showed his perfect satisfaction
with his lot and the lack Of any
desire whatever to emulate the
examples set by the wise man
and the warrior from whom he
gets his names. Shades of a
thousand wives, Marc Anthony,
Cicero. Brutus, and Citizens,
Senators and Romans, wouldn't
that name jar a hame-string
loose! Solomon Caesar! Solomon,
man of feminine affection and
wisdom; Caesar, mar of war,
and the worst of it is that the
two names are joined.
And the while Solomon Caesar
conyersed with members of The
Clarion force relative to his
names and his lack of many Tor
for that matter, any wives, his
teeth CLEANED through his dusky
lips like china darning eggs.
When joyially questioned as to
his relationship to the immortal
julius, this little negro Of mighty
names grinned from ear to ear
and said, No, sch, / ANTS no
kin to that niger, Julia, what
cooks"
If the corpses of wise old King
Solomon, who lived long past
what DIR. Osler claims is the
allotted period of a mans life on
this earth, and the brave Roman
soldier and statesman, who met
foul death in his prime, are still
In existence and did not turn
over so fast that they burned
their tombs, miracles are still
happening. Would not the de-
generation of your name to the
point where it was used for a
human being who had no idea
whatever of your worth in the
world cause you to twist in your
grave? Doubtless it would if
you had climbed to the heights
that Solomon and Caesar reached
before they died.
In Hebrewatic Solomon means,
according to the Encyclopaedia
Britannica, man Of peace"
The name of Caesar has long
been identified with war, states
manship and violent death. Yet
to glance at the Solomon Caesar
who makes Opelousas his place
of abode and who does chores
for the Clarion, one would know
at once that wisdom was as far
from him as the moon and that
of war or craftsmanship he had
not the faintest inkling and that
of violent death he knew naught
but of the pain.
And so the world has come to
the pass where the names of the
greatest men of ancient and
biblical history are scattered
broadcast among our servants.
Far better be it to name our
dogs Nero, Casimir, or Whatnot,
rather than to deteriorate the
names of the men whom our
study of with admira-
at school. !
When Solomon Caesar received !
his cognomen it is doubtless if
his nanny knew of the full |
worth of Solomon Caesar as a {

Championship of the United States in 1876. better time having been made in every instance. By reference to this book it will be found that a number of records have stood for thirty or more years. Notably among these are the 100 yards hurdle race record, 14H seconds. five flights. three feet six inches high, made by T. H. Armstrong. October 26, 1877. F.. E. Merrill of Boston, holds the six and, seven-mile walking records, made in 1880 Another old record which was made by man still popular in athletics. who attends all import ant meetings regularly when in the United States, and who was at one time captain of the New York A C., is that of 24 4-5 seconds for 250 yards run made by c. H. Sherrill, now minister for the United States to the Argentine Republic, in June. 1888

without a tally, but good baseball just the same.
 Kerlick and Brisbois were the Stars battery. Kerlick is a new man and he is certainly some pitcher. He keeps his head about him all the time and has an assortment of curves hard to beat, as we'll as good speed Brisbois did just as good work be- hind the bat as he ever did for the Jewels. and all the old fans know what that means.
 Head, the first baseman for the Stars and another new man, also made a good impression. Duhnson got in some of his usual classy work on third. Yesterdays game was in the nature of spring practice for Duhnson. He leaves in a few days to try out with the Muskogee team of the Oklahoma league
 Aside from Quiros, the only Rat tier who seemed to shine particularly above his team mates was Pima. the catcher. who is a backstop worth watching.
 The game was played for the ben eft of the old Phoenix baseball asso- citation, which backed the Jewels A fair crowd was present but the re- ceipts were a little short of the ob- legations that must be met. The of ficers of the association wish to thank the public. through The Re publican, for the support given yes terday.

STARS TRIUMPH OVER
 RATTLERs AT PARK
Some Classy Baseball Is Put Up By
 Local Amateur Teams.

Six to three in favor of the Stars was the result of the ball game at Eastlake park yesterday afternoon. It was a rattling good game, too. The Rattlers are d set of youngsters who certainly know how to play ball against the Stars, most of whom are older players and professionals.
 The score after the fourth inning was one long string of goose-eggs. In the initial session the Stars made a good beginning by pushing a couple of men across the pan. The second was a shut-out for both sides and in the third the Stars started out like they meant to do things. Four sons of swat toddled home before the Rat tiers were able to retire the side. In the fourth Louis Quiros replaced Buelna in the box for the Rattlers and after that the Stars couldn't do a thing. Some even got as far as third base but Louie was the same cool old head of former seasons and never let himself get rattled. He had good support and held the Stars down in great shape, but the Rat tiers found it just as hard to score as the Stars did.
 It was not until the third that the Rattlers got a smell. They scored a pair in that inning and one in the fourth. After that it was baseball

ADJUSTMENTS
MAJESTIC.

Long before curtain time last night at the Majestic theater every seat was sold to witness the first production here of the decidedly clever musical comedy, fThe Girl From Mexico" and to say that the vast crowd that wit messed the production got a treat is putting it mild The show is real musical comedy with a real plot to it, staged to the most minute detail absolutely nothing lacking, the cos tuning of the girls being very hand some and the song hits many and very catchy.
 Walk, Walk, Walk" sung by Miss Frances Grey and the bevy of girls who cavorted through the audience and with much difficulty at that, got an immense hand and took four encores.
 The comedy of the show is like all Cohen shows-fast and furious. and with good plot to it. Cash Knight, as the drunk, was funnier than ever and when he took his tumble on the Slip per Stairs it took the house by storm.
 The Rag Muffin Man, sung by Geo. Burton and chorus, is a novelty and got a good hand
 Ine tnliIe dCllllS CoIlpdHN lS di Ntil cast, and each played their parts in a fitting manner.
 Raymond Teal did a between-acts stunt that, as usual, went big. His medley of parodies is the best thing he has sung and a sure fire hit.
 Tuesday the bill will change to "Papa's Boy" ripping fun show. and as a special feature MT. Teal will in troduce for the first time here "Ve- nita" in her series of spectacular dances. Complete scenery is carried for the production. The act was fea tured over the Orpheum circuit, and is a big novelty feature and has never been seen here before. This is the last week of the company here, as they close next Sunday night and go direct to Los Angeles for an indefinite run.

PHOENIX TESTIMONY.

Mrs. J. Hurst, 501 w. Washington Street, Phoenix. Ariz.. says: 'T often went to bed with a headache and arose in the morning with the trouble still clfnging to me. There was a weakness across my loins that made it difficult for me to stoop and if bent over, I became very dizzy The kidney secretions were unnatural, causing me annoyance and 1 was bothered by swelling of my limbs. About a year ago I procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at the Adams Pharmacy and the use of two boxes disposed of my trouble"

trades will give more milk and make

But it is not a fact that grade Jer-
seys are better producers than the
pure-breds. The error Of those who
think they are, is due to the fact that
the relatively low price of the grades

is so low that they are able to get

WHY THEORIES FAIL.

The combining Of theory and prac-
tice is one of the fine arts, requiring
that deft touch which famous cooks
possess, who, taking the same ingre-
dents, have knack of putting them
together after a fashion impossible to
describe accurately, but producing a
rare delicacy where others miserably
fail, writes II. H. Windsor in the Sep

The Railroad Gazette Age has pub
lished a series of notable articles enti-
tied 1.-The Mistakes of the Efficiency
Men" While acknowledging the theory
Of their theory, it shows by citing ac
tual experiences that a large number
of failures. costly in time, effort and
money, are caused by trying to enforce
system or theory-which figures de-
clare highly econOmical-while losing
sight of the human equation. One of
the expert efficiency men goes into Il
plant. spends several months studying
the capacities of the machines, and
comes out with an array of figures
proving that a great saving of-in one
! instance so per cent-can be made. He
is told to install the new system, but
in doing so he ignores the human ele-
ment. the esprit de corps; and the
shop men to whom his mystifying cal
culations are Greek resent the innova-
ton and withhold their support. II
