when he hits? And did you ever see
him hit? My, that boy is a wizard!
He hits just like / do, doubles and
triples, and-sometmes, homers.

JOHNSON AFTER
UMP|RES WHO CAN
STAND THE PACE
Both Leagues May Spring
New Arbitrators on Teams
in Spring.

DETROIT. Aug. 12-While every base
ball magnate is looking for star players,
President Johnson. of the American
League, is keeping his weather eye
peeled for umpires who can stand the
big league pace. Three years ago Presi-
dent johnson didn't give his umpire
stan a thought, for he was perfectly
satisfied with it's makeup. Three years
time can bring a lot of changes in the
personnel OF big league umpire staff,
as President Johnson Is now aware.
Never in the history Of the two ma jor
leagues has there been a better chance
for the ambitious youngster to win a
berth in the majors. There are at least
three places on the American League
STAFF that are unsettled and an equal
number exists in the National League.
1t would not be at all surprising If both
major leagues sprang a bunch of new
arbitrators on the public next spring.

ton and you have but cottage. Fashion
the roof as you please, on a one-story
home, give the roof from three to five
feet projection. and you have a bunga-

In the extreme western states, espe-
cially throughout California, no attempt
Is ever made TO use the attic space for
living purposes. This makes IL possible
TO have the roof very much lower. which
gives IL more attractive app .arance
than to have a bungalow roof too steep.

on the ground for at least three months
a year. the pitch must be sleeper so
that the wind can blow the snow from .he

the possibility of using the larger

practical purpose. Since spreading

Increases its expense to a considerable

A Slump In Kisses,

A Frenchman who apparently has a
good deal OF time on his hands has
been amusing himself by reckoning up
the number OF kisses he has given his
wife during the first twenty years Of
his married life. He finds that in the
first year he dispensed about a hundred
kisses a day, or, say, allowing for birth
days and holidays, about 36,7OO in the
year. In the second year this number
was reduced by half and in the third
year to ten a day, while In the fifth
year his better half had to be content
with two a day, one in the morning
and one in the evening. What hap
pened after the fifth year is wrapped
In mystery" but at the same rate Of
progression" he probably arrived
eventually at one kiss on the LIST Of
January every leap year.

CHARGE AGAINST HUSBAND.
Accused Of Failure to Obey Courts
Order In Giving Mother Children.

MINOT, N. D., Dec. 10 Because
of his failure to bring his two Chit
dren from his home in Mckenzie
county, where their mother resides,
and turn them over into the custody
OF the mother, Leonard DOrfer has
been cited for contempt of court by
Judge X. E. Leighton.
. Some time ago Mrs. Aletha- Dorfler
was granted q divorce from her nus.
band and was also given the custody
of the two children. Dorler himself
was notified of the courts order and
instructed to bring the children to
their mother, who resides in this
county, but this he refused to do,
whereupon he was cited to appear be-
fore Judge Leighton and show cause
why he should not be adjudged gull
ty Of contempt of court.
Dorfer's attorneys contend that
the order does not compel him to
come from his home in Mckenzie
county to this county with the chill
dren at his own expense and il the
order does provide that he do SO,
such an order is unconstitutional.
They contend that had Mrs. DOrfler
gone after the children herself or
made the proper arrangements to
send for them, and Dorfler had then
refused to grant her the custody OF
the children that the courts order
would then have been disobeyed and
he would have been in contempt. The
case will be %strenuously contested
on both sides and promises to be un-
usually interesting.
