Pitcher Howard Northrop, champion

Steve Yerkes may land a regular

Manager Wolverton, of the Highlan-

Owner Charley Somers, of the Gle

of securing Morarity, of the Detroit
Tigers. With Turner crippled the Maps

President Ward, of the Boston

Bill Dahlen's Brooklyn outfit has had

ball playing practically impossible.
Larry Mclean says he intends to

They Can Judge Old Pewter and China
Ware by tho Feel.
A dealer in antiques was talking
about art experts
Take, for instance" he said. ian
expert in old pewter. You think per
haps he distinguishes old pewter by
the marks--the Tudor roses. the max
er's name, and so forth. Bless your
heart. those marks are continually
forged No. he distinguishes old pew
ter by the feel.
1T is like the china expert. He, with
his eyes closed. will distinguish hard
and soft paste china. It's the feel
again-the fingers trained by years and
years of study till each one has a brain
in it.
"Orienta, rug experts have a very
subtle sense of rug differences Some
times they distinguish a rug by its
smell-the smell of the wool and the
dyes. This seems incredible till you
think of the Harris tweed. that i'm
ported cloth that you yourself can dis
tinguish by it's smelI-the smell which
never leaves it. of the peat smoke of
the cottage wherein it was woven on a
hand loom.
Wool sorters, a less highly paid
class of experts, can take up handful
of wool and by its color tell you wheth-
er it came from Texas. from the terri
tories. from England or from Canada.
The soil, you see. gives its own color
to the wool."-Exchange.

Angry depositors of the wrecked First

Arnolds condition was not nearly as

him. After the visit the barber de-
clared that Arnold was in fair shape
and able to chat at great length. The
suspension of the bank has paralyzed
business in this vicinity. Between 20

Shoeino Horses,

Horses were not shod either by the
Greeks or Romans The ancients were
content with wrapping fiber cloth
around the feet of their horses in cold
weather or when it was necessary to
pass through miry districts. Instead
of troubling about horseshoes they de-
voted their attention to hardening the
hoofs of their mounts. Nero. who
ever strove to outdistance his conten
poraries, caused his horses to be shod
with silver, while his wife's were re-
splendent with gold. but in no case
were nails driven into the hoofs. The
practice of shceing horses by driving
nails into the hoofs was introduced
into England by William the Conquer
or, but was slow in winning favor
