"Cover the Lid"

In an article on baseball 'fans' in
the August American Magazine, Hugh
S. Fullerton tells the following story:
zone of the quickest things I ever
heard was remark from a Washing
ton fan which upset Frank Isbell, the
veteran, completely. Isbell's head is
as bald as concrete pavement and
usually he kept his cap plastered
tightly on his head to shield himself
from the gibes of crowds. This time
he tried to steal second and made 4
desperate, diving slide around and
under the baseman only to be called
out. He was so enraged that he ran
at the umpire, grasped his arm, ar
gued and raved and finally in sheer
anger, jerked off his cap, hurled it on
to the ground and jumped upon it.
His bald head glistened in the sun-
light and the crowd roared. Then,
above the roar came a voice:
"' Put on that cap. They pinched
Mary Garden here for less than
that

Mr.. Little, in his book on MAZDA.
gascar, tells an amusing story Of q
friend, who, on journey from the
coast to the interior, was much trou-
bled by the curiosity of the natives.
Being a fine looking man with flow
Ing beard, he excited the admiration
and amazement of all. Natives crowd
ed the doors of his hut and iostled
one another to get peek through
convenient chinks, giving him all the
time their opinion of his eyes, nose,
and general appearance. In vain did
he shut the door of his hut. They
crowded back again, and at last sat
down in rings outside the hut to dis
cuss his want Of good manners in
sending them away. At last the
stranger could stand it no longer.
It was bright moonlight night. He
suddenly rushed to the door Of his hut,
threw it open, and with loud shout
sprang toward the natives. At the
same time he drew from his mouth
two rows of false teeth and waved
them in the air. The natives took one
look at the dreadful sight, and then
fed in horror from the presence Of %
man who could take himself to
pieces"

At LOST AND FOUND" DESK
Absent-Mlnded Women Make Much
Trouble for Clerks Of Big New
! York Hotels.

A woman hurried up to the lost and
found section of the Office desk of the
Waldorf-Astor1a. She held up a gold
mesh handbag.
Il saw . woman who had this bag
in her hand sit down in the corridor"
she said. "She got up a few minutes
later and went away, leaving it. I
thought she might return, so kept
my eyes on 1t for while; but now I
have got to go, and as she has not
come back thought had better turn
the bag In to you."
A few minutes later another WON.
an came up to the same place and
asked whether anything had been
heard Of feather boa, which she was
sure somebody had stolen. After q
search the clerk produced the boa and
she went out of the hotel.
Fifteen minutes afterward taxicab
driver entered and turned in at the
office a feather boa which he said q
fare from the hotel had left In the cab.
To the clerk it looked familiar. He
examined it carefully. It was the
same boa that had been claimed only
a quarter of an hour before.
Only few minutes had passed
when third woman rushed up. She
asked the clerk please to tell the hotel
detectives or the police or the news
papers, or somebody, to find q valu-
able fur muff which had been stolen
from her. She was positive she had
left it in her room. The clerk listened
attentively to her description. Then
he ducked under the counter and SOL
emnly handed her the mutf.
''Why, where did you get this?" she
demanded.
1T was picked up in the corridor,
madam" was the reply.
She signed her name in the receipt
book and then went away in the same
haste she had come. When the clerk
looked up from the book he found
she had left her pooketbook on the
counter.-New York Sun.

Hanson Denies He Signed.

Crookston, Mimi, July 19.-State
Senator A Hanson of Ada, whose
name appeared on the third party call
for a state convention, says that ne
was surprised to see it there. He had
said that if all the delegates signed
the call he was willing to, and would
not hold out, but that otherwise he
had not authorized the use of his
name. Further than this he did not
care to make any comment for the
present.

Mats Made From Straw MATING.

Mate Made From Straw Mating.
In days gone by nearly every one
used straw mating on their sleeping
room floors, but this is the age of
bare floors and mats. have made
some nice mats from some mating
that had once used on a floor. I se-
1ected the best parts and cut them In
lengths varying from one yard and
three-quarters to two yards. travelled
the ends about four inches and tied
them in double knot; that keeps
them from fraylng any more and
makes kind of fringe which I think
is much nicer than hemmed ends.
wash mine with salt and water, which
freshens them up wonderfully. These
mats are especially suitable for Sleep
Ing rooms or for a strip for a hall.
They are very easy to handle they are
so light, and they are easy to sweep.
They look well on hardwood floor.
The parts of my carpet that showed
signs Of wear converted into piazza
mats. so nothing was wasted. Mat
ting makes excellent doormats for the
outside doorstep or outside entrance
and you will be surprised how much
less sand gets tracked in.

 "I had suspected when Mir. Guffey was selected as National Committee man against the protests of the Dem oorats of Pennsylvania what I had be- fore learned, that a majority of the Committee had no conception of Democracy, so slavishly under the control of predatory interests as not to be responsible for their. actions. The reasons that they give are like all their reasons. They are insincele and are not the reasons that really influence them"

ROOSEVELT ARRANCES

Rnmor That Bryan Will Be Asked to Become COl0nefS Running
 Mate.

Chicago, June 24.-Leaving orders that headquarters for his new party, the National Progressives, shall be opened at once i'll this city, the scene of his defeat for the Republican nom- ination for the presidency, Colonel Roosevelt left Chicago this afternoon for his home in Oyster Bay.
 The party convention, which is eX- pected to name the Colonel as it's can didate for the presidency and give the semblance of formality to the nomination made at the Roosevelt mass meeting in Orchestra Hall last Saturday night, is to meet in answer to a call to be issued about July 1.
 Despite the confirmation of H. C.. Mcdowell, a Roosevelt adherent, con- nected with the Colonels staff, of the report that overtures had been made to William Jennings Bryan to become the running mate of Roosevelt on the third party ticket, if the nominee of the Democratic national convention at Baltimore should not be accept able to the Nebraskan, the Colonel be- fore his departure, declared that the doings of the Democrats of Baltimore would have no influence in shaping of the plans of the new party.

Lovers of the wrestling game in Pine Bluff may have an opportunity in a short time of seeing match here. Pref. Harry Russell, dancing teacher, but who has followed the game to slight extent, wrestling a. 133 pounds, stated last night that he had been challenged by J. T. John son, champion of New Orleans among the middleweights, 160 pounds.
 Though Johnson greatly outwe;ghs Russell the latter accepted, and the match will be a straight best two out of three, catch-as-catch-can. A hall will be secured large enough to per- init a good crowd and the date will! be set within few days.
