BASEBALL INSTINCT.
II Takes Quick Thinking Players to
Make q Successful Team.

Il Takes Quick Thinking Players to
Make = Successful Team.
The greatest difficulty in building up
ball teams in this day. when the game
has become a business as well as
sport. Is in securing what we know as
thinking ball players" There are any
number of ball players in the minor
leagues who have natural physical
ability. but it is very rarely possible
to secure men who have that peculiar
faculty of being able to think and act
simultaneously.
1t is no reflection on a ball players
general intelligence to say that he
hasn't that quality. l know scores of
players who are men Of unusual in
tellect. but who are lacking in that
ability to think and act at the same
time. Give them a few minutes to
consider a problem. and they will ar
rive at a conclusion that is quite log
ical. but baseball gaines are not won
on logic. The plays that win are usu-
ally the result of impulse. 1t Is in
stinct with some ball players to make
the proper play at the proper time.
1t would be possible to count on the
fingers of the two hands the men in
the league who are quick thinking
ball players" The team that is bless
ed with majority Of that class of
players is the one that usually wins
the championship. A team must have
at least two thinking ball players to be
a contender. and If it has four the
championship is in sight--John J. Nc

SIGNATURE EXPERTS.
Bank Clerks That Can't 8s Deceived
bv Names on Cheeka

A number Of the larger banking In
stitutions employ from one to half 4
dozen men whose sole duty Is to ex-
anime every check that comes In
through the clearing house and vouch
for the genuineness Of the signatures.
To the ordinary citizen 1t seems
nothing short OF marvellous that a
signature clerk will instantly recog-
nize the slightest alteration in sig
nature. with thousands Of checks pass
ing through his hands each day. many
Of them drawn by depositors who sign
but a few checks in the course OF a
year, but an expert signature clerk
can carry in his mind accurate pho
tographs Of 5000 or more signatures
and rarely has to refer to the signature
book. When not engaged with the in
coming checks the signature expert
spends his time In familiurizing him
self with the signatures Of new Gus
toners. There Is no room for un-
certainty in his business. for II he
passes a bogus draft it will mean a
bad mark against him when promo
tons are in order. and to refuse pay
ment on a genuine check means a very
wrathful customer.
The signature clerk Is also required
to see that no checks are post dated
and to look for checks on which pay
ment has been stopped.

Plants That Shoot Arrows.

The arrows are crystal needles Of
oxalate Of lime. They are of microscor
ic domensions. and they are shot from
minute capsule shaped bodies found
in the tissues of such plants as the
Indian turnip and the Polynesian taro.
An extraordinary spectacle may be
viewed in the field Of the microscope
when the "bonds" contained in drop
of taro pulp begin to discharge their
arrows. Sometimes only one or two
needles and sometimes groups of four
to ten were discharged at once. the
bomb recoiling as the projectiles left

intense burning ard pricking sensa-
tions experienced in chewing such

terest is manifested In this section in
the approaching trial Of DR.. Harry
Elgin Webster. the young Chicago
physician who is charged with having
murdered his wife and thrown her
body into a lonely ravine In the south
western part of the county on Septem-
ber 16, last. 1t Is expected the case
will come to trial in the Ogle County
court next week. though the defense
will make a hard fight for a continu-
anco.
Webster's case 10 one of the most in
teresting in the criminal annals of
northern Illinois. The young man
was reared in this section and his
youth held forth every promise OF a
bright future. His ambition to secure
a medical education was fulfilled
through the assistance of his parents
and sisters. who denied themselves in
order that he might have the money
necessary to go through Chicago
medical college.
The victim of the murder. Mrs. Bes-
sic Kent Webster. Is said to have been
the third wife Of the young physician.
in 1904, at Racine. Wis, he Is said to
huve married Miss May b. Graft. a
young Chicago woman. who later
divorced him for desertion and
cruelty. year ago this month DR..
Webster married Miss Zoe Varney Of
Cedar Rapids. Iowa. The same week.
according to the facts brought to light
b. the police investigation. he secretly
married Miss Bessie Kent, a young
nurse whom he met in the Chicago
hospital in which he was serving as an
inferno.
His love for his second wife, Mrs.
Zoe Varney Webster. is believed to
have furnished the motive for his de-
rire to rid himself of the third wife.
His term of service Az an inferno was
about finished and 1t was his intention
to join his second wife and establish
himself in the practice of his pro-
fession.
On the morning OF September Is he
IL alleged to have lured Mrs. Bessie
Kent Webster away from Chicago on
the pretext that he wished her to meet
his parents who resided near the town
Of Dixon. Arriving at Dixon the couple
drove away in an automobile and that
was the last time the woman was seen
alive. Some days later her body was
found concealed in a ravinc. The vic
tim had met death through Il knife
wound in the back of the neck which
the medical examiners declared could
have been inflicted by person having
q knowledge Of surgery. There was
evidence that the young woman was
drugged before she was killed.
The discovery of the body led to the
arrest a few days later of the husband
of-1the victim. Following his arrest.

the, m urder. but again he denied that
he had made any confession. In view
