When Pride is Justified.

Far too many mortals are vain and
self satisfied because of some temporary
mercenary advantage. and in their eager

opportunity often distroy their greatest

Neglected colds. irregular meals, over
loaded stomachs and night revelry result
in shattered nerves. depressed vigor and
fatigue all of which invite decline and
disease.
Each person stands sentinel at the
portals of his own health and he who
guards, protects, strengthens and builds
up q rugged constitution is justified IN

"MILLIONAIRE'S SON" rs
BADLY WANTED


Edward Boehm, the chauffeur
who married Mrs. Aimee Givins
as Edward B. Kirkman, son of
the millionaire railroad man, is
sure in bad today.
Mrs. Givins has been demand
ing his arrest ever since he dis
appeared "a hours after the mar
rage ceremony, and she discov-
cred that she had married
chauffeur instead of a million
aires son.
But the police only laughed at
Mrs. Givins Kirkman-Boehm,
and remarked that she had got
what was coming to her. for try
ing to steal a millionaire's pride
and joy.
Now, however, the police of
Danvi1le, Ill, have requested the
immediate arrest of Boehm, and
the Chicago police are getting
busy.
It seems that Boehm went to
Danvil1e "on business" after mar
rying Mrs. Aimee and separating
her from the $500 cash she car
ried, and that he stayed there for
two days.
Then he disappeared. And,
curiously, the automobile of City
Attorney Howard Swallow, of
Danville, disappeared from in
front of his home at precisely that
same moment.
Which explains the sudden ex-
element of the police of Danyille
and Chicago.

A SUDDEN CHANGE
The exposure of the very pecu-
liar political connections of those
who made bribery charges
against John P. Tansey, county
court cashier, and of those who
were to hear the charges, has
caused a sudden tender regard for
justice around the county build
ing.
Frederic Greer, president-of the
civil service commission, who was
an associate of Maurice Law
renee, who brought the charges
against Tansey, on the Hearst
ticket in 1907, and who was to
hear the charges against Tansey,
has decided to be "out of the
city"
Gustavus ]. Tatge, Greer's as
sociate on the commission, is
filled with a great indifference.
Il don't care whether or not I
hear the case, said Tatge today.
Il don't care at all. If Tansey
fears he will not get justice, I, for
one, am willing to let the case be
tried by a committee Of judges.
%Of course" added Tatge,
somewhat hastily, "the judges
would need to be selected by the
civil service commission"
Meantime there is a rumor that

the attitude of New York to Chicago

spected rival. With both McGraw and

Clarke Is n General.
Clarke is a general without any
alIbis He accepts fate as it comes
without murmur. But for a lot Of
tough luck he would have won several
more pennants. within the past few
years. that fell to New York and Chi
cagO. He has always had his share
of tough luck Many believe he would
have nOsed out New York last wear had
Wagner not been hurt just at the
height Of a winning squirt that put
Clarke within striking distance Of
the pacemakers- He has a good club
this year, the best staff of pitchers
in the league, but he has too many
old men on his staff to stand the gaff,
it is believed. If Clarke only had a
little more speed in his array what
marvellous collection it would be.
Does the Manager Make the Teams
And in diagnosing the biographies Of
the Big Inree arises the question.
the old familiar question, Of whether
the manager makes the team or the
team the manager Would McGraW
ever have made good without his mat
hewsOn2 Would Clarke have expert
enced such qualified success without
that grand old man Of all baseball his
tory, Honus Wagner. Of Carnegie2
Could Chance ever have gained such
glory without the combination of Evers
and Tinker alongside him2
These are questions that will be
argued as long as the present genera
tons Of fans and players survive. They
will never be answered. They revert
back TO Ned HanIOn and all other great
baseball generals. in fact Did Han
Ion make the old Baltimore team, or
did 1t make him2 What would ne

Keller and Kelley2 He was glorious

whom have made good in kindred po-
sitiOns Ned HalOn today will not try
to take any of the glory away from

gang his star waned. Whose fault was
