but they did have lot of fault to find

told me that they had been forced ia
sleep in foul smelling hen houses and
even on the ground. Several told Of the
poor food they were forced to eat and

Milwaukee had two runs the advan-
tage. and there were runners on first
and second, with Isbell at bat. st.
Paul's only logical hope was for
bone run over one of the high fences.
Isbell hit a hard line smash to right
field against the fence. The runner
on first was a slow man. and the fielder
squatted. expecting the ball to rebound
to him and to whirl and force the slow
man at second base. ending the game
But the ball didn't rebound. 1t i'm

And He Lasted Sixty Years.

Roger Crab, the hermit and astrolo-
ger. almost solved the problem of how
to live without eating. About 164l he
began to restrict himself to vege-
tartan diet, avoiding even butter and
cheese. From roots he got to a vege
tartan diet of broth, thickened with
bran. and pudding made of bran and
turnip leaves chopped together. and he
finally resorted TO dock leaves and
grass. He drank nothing but water
and lived for nearly forty years on 3
farthings a week. He died in LOndoB
in 1880 In his sixtieth year.

baseball on Sunday was not permitted
within the corporate limits Of St Paul,
and a Sunday park had been erected
outside the city's jurisdiction.
The ground was extremely small
and was inclosed by high fence. So
small was the Enclosure that batters

This is the way one is managed: The
guests are requested to bring some
thing suitable for their birthday

day is in June, bunch of roses or any
gift, for June is the month Of brides,
or in May basket of flowers or some
thing in green glass to represent an

give a real emerald. In February. a
heart shaped pin-cushion, or a book

or even a pair of rubbers for April; a
bunch of firecrackers or fan for July.

And forget to drink their tea:
And doreceo's always ready

Coffee cold and biscuit soggy.
Milk and butter strong and sour,

And the dove OF peace is with us.
