Black and white are rather difficult to
treat when it comes to the proportion of
each, and a good deal must be left to
ones own judgment. When the materials
are heavy black with white trimmings
will be smart. A thin white gown as lin

'of course" said the lady-who-always-

How foolish" said the authorman's
wife. Why don't, you Just keep them
and say nothing about it?''
II see it this way" said the lady, IF
there were only five pairs in the pack
age, I'd tell them their mistake and ask
for the six that belong to me. 1t seems
to ME it's logic and justice for me to tell
them their mistake when there are seven,
and give the shop people what belongs
to them"
But isn't there chance that that will
make trouble for the shop girls? I'm

Yes, agreed the authorman's wife,
That's just the way feel

said the ays-knows-some-
how, but l think she's no more likely
to get into trouble If you do take thing
back than if you don't. I always go
right to the girl and do j. as unobtrusive-

grateful. Besides, isn't that an excuse
We give ourselves for keeping things?

The Use of Cerise.

and one or two other shades are being
played up for spring in all manner of
ways on millinery and on gowns. Wings
of cerise are the most popular of all
trimmings on the tailored hats of hemp,
and cerise is also combined with black
velvet on many more dressy models or
used to relieve the somber appearance OF
hats of various kinds of black straw.
One hat made of cerise-dyed hemp and
daintily trimmed with flowers is accom-
panied by parasoI Of pale pink panne
velvet.
Cerise and deep violet are a peculiar
combination that some of the exclusive
shops have dared to make. 1t is seen in
several of the new blouses with peplums

 Mississippi Executive

Jackson, Miss, December 25.-(SpeciaD. Wm R. Fowler, white man con- victed of manslaughter in Tate county in 1909, and sentenced to eight years in the penitentiary. has been pardoned by Governor Brewer.
 The case is one of interest and landed three men in the penitentiary, They were the father and son-in-law of Tow ler-the old man being given a life sen tence and the son-in-law, John Burnett 15 years. All of these men are married and have families of young children.
 The facts of the case are that strang- CT in the community, timber cutter attempted to steal the sister of William Fowlera the daughter of J. C. Fowler, from the parental roof after having been warned to remain away from the prem ises. However. the young man persisted in his courtship, finally getting the girl.

Ball tossers who love to bait umpires just breaking into the big show may think twice before they tackle ''Bill' Guthrie, the National Leagues new arbiter. Guthrie is giant physically He stands six feet two inches in his stockings. He halls from the stock yards district ill Chicago, being a nelghbor of "Packey' Mcfarland.
 Guthrie, who is a protese of Brick" Owens, also of Lynch's staff, started to umpire six or seven years ago. His first professional engagement was with the Wisconsin-Illinois League. where he umpired two seasons. He went from there to the American Associa- tion. but was not quite ready for hard work. and the next season found him in the Texas League. His work in the Lone Star organization was excellent. so excellent in fact that he was offered contract by Tom Lynch. and he lost no time in putting his name to it.

Red Corridor has succeeded in be- coming one of the most discussed short stops of the winter league, and from the time that he begins work with the Chicago club next spring there will be several anxious eyes turned his way to see what he is likely to do for the Cubs.
 Hugh Jennings thinks that Corridor will have to go little further before he becomes first class major league short stop. Jennings should know, because in his day he was one of the best short stops on the field.
 It may be just Corridon's luck or that of the Chicago club-haye it either way-that he hits the top of his game when he joins the Cubs this spring and plays ball all of the year as if he had belonged to major league from the time that he graduated from the kin ding wood pile

NATIONAL LEAGUE STILL HAS AN
 EDGE ON AMERICAN OPPONENTS

With the finish of the tenth series for the baseball championship of the world played by American and National league clubs. the National league has won T and lost 26 games, the Americans, of course. being reversed.
 Ending the great baseball war. when rival organizations snatched stars away with bigger contracts and a bonus, peace was established in 1903. and that fail President Dreyfuss of the Pittsburg club accepted the challenge of Henry Killilea, president of the Boston club. Nine games were to be played, five deciding the series. As Boston won five of the first eighth the ninth was not necessary
 1n 1904 Boston again won in the Amer can league. New York was the Ma ticnal league pennant winner. Again kil- lilea sent challenge, but it was spurned bY John T. Brush, president of the Giants. Although the war" was over and ap- parently peace was established, Brush refused to have any friendly relations with the American league.
 Maybe it was Brush but the general im- pression at that time was that Mnggsy McGraw, an enemy of Ban Johnson s league team, was the one who refused to meet Boston.
 That hitch between New York and the American league is what paved the way to the present wonderful growth of the annual worlds series. Both sides met in the winter of 19A formed an agreement that anually each pennant winner was 10 contest for the worlds championship.
 During nine years of play the differ ence between the two leagues is very slight, only one game, and this is held by the veteran body. The National has won 27 and the American 26.

JOE JACKSON SUPERIOR ALL
 ROUND MAN TO CLYDE MILAN

though more such opportunities come 10 a center fieldar.
 Milan nas more errors in his record than Jackson. but in any comparison er- TOTS count for little in baseball. Indeed, most of Milan's misplays come on easy chances and amount to little in the gener- al result.
 The Washington man has considerably more putouts to his credit than the Cleveland slugger. g, to be exact. How ever, as an offset, it must be remembered that playing in the middle garden, he swings more into the other fields on poth sides. Many a ball he took last year al- most out of snanks' hands and "ked" Walker had ao give way to him ire quonty.
 sgMilan Leads Here
 Milan leads on the bases. His ability here is remarkably superior to that Of his vival. He takes chances that Jackson never would see. I1e has more base run ming intelligence. Perhaps, in a pinch Milan could be relied on more to come into the plate and set away with 1t than the Cleveland star. But to be a good base runner you must first reach first lase. The records fail to show that ali- land gets there more frequently than Jackson.
 Jackson scores more runs largely be- cause he is a harder hitter. Milan comes close 10 his opponent in this respect oe- cause he is better runner, once he lands on first base
 Taking everything into considerations they lock pretty nearly even in the field. Jackson leads with the stick and all that goes with it, while ''Zeb" shows his class on the bases. If there is 10 be a turning of the tide in the favor of either. it rlast come from his personality.
 But when you decide right off hand that Joe Jackson doesn't class with Milan = well, consider these figures. They should tell you something.

FAKE HUNTING TALE
 MAY BRING TROUBLE
Atlanta Sportsman Boasts of Kill and Has to Ex-
 plain to Authorities

Atlanta, December 25.-(SpeciaD. It turns out that Reese Perry, the Atlanta sportsman who had his picture taken and printed with a string of 165 birds around his neck which he said he had killed in two days, was only joking after all.
 MT Perry had been down to Douglas shooting with a party of friends-it is said there were half dozen of them in the crowd-and when they got through the whole bunch of birds was tied up and turned over to MT. Perry the guest of the occasion. It was an interesting event and naturally Mr. Perry wanted to preserve a memento of it, so he had his photograph taken with the trophies Of the hunt strung around his neck, never once thinking it would fall under the keen and watchful eye of State Game Warden Jesse Mercer. But it found its way into print and therefore to the aforesaid keen and watehful eye"
 The result is MT. Perry will have to go to court and explain that he didn't really kill all those 1G5 birds in two days, but just wanted to appear, for the bene- fit of his friends, as a great and mighty Nimrod.
 But it was an instance of fame prov ing expensive as well as shortlived.
 "Perry's some hunter' the boys said when they saw the picture, but when they woke as and read where Warden Mercer was oh his trail, they concluded that Perry will have to do some ex- plaining or put up heavy fine
 The explanation has not been long in forthcoming. Atr. Perry will explain to the court that he didn't really do 1t; that he had help, considerable help. But then he will probably have to take an- other trip to Douglas to make his ex- planation, and travelling is expensive.
