Rhode Island lovers of base ball
are looking forward with great in
terest to the opening of the season of
1912. Every baseball fan in the
state is taking a lively interest in the
team that will represent Providence
in the International League this year.
The general opinion is that the COM
bination that is to uphold the honor
of the state in professional ball looks
pretty good. For the past few years
the Providence team has not been
anything to boast about, to say the
least, but it looks as though a change
has come for the better. The West
ern men who recently purchased the
team and franchise are evidently
determined to give the people OF
Providence and Rhode Island some
thing worth while in the base ball
line. The team has just returned
from a Southern training trip, the
first, by the way, in local base ball
history. 1t looks like well balan'
ced team that will he well financed
and skillfully handled. That a good
team will receive grand support in
Providence this season, goes with
out saying.

Reainninas of Clubs.

seems 10 have been the circle at the
Mermaid that Sir Walter Raleigh
founded and Shakespeare Joined. But
I'm the seventeenth century clubs be
gan TO spring up like mushrooms
There was the Calves Head club
whose members met and dlned OF
calves heads TO show their contempt
for the decaptated Charles |. Then
came the Klt-Kat club. which. accord
ing to Addison. took It's name from n
mutton pie. one Christopher Kat. =
pastry cook OF shire lane. was n dis
tIngulshed constructor Of mutton pies.
and his productions were called Kit
Kats. The club meeting in his house
and eating his pies acquired the pies

STORY OF A WILL.
Plans For q Gigantic Accumulation
That Were Frustrated.

In 1897 there died In London q
merchant named Peter Thelusson, Of
foreign extraction, who bequeathed
100000 to his wife and children and
the rest Of his property. amounting to
upward OF 100000, to trustees, with
instructions that the money was to be
invested and the interest suffered to
accumulate until his three sons and all
their sons should have died, when the
entire property was TO be transferred
to his eldest great-grandson. In the
event Of no such heir being then alive
the accumulated property was to be
appropriated to the reduction Of the
national debt.
Many calculations were made as TO
the probable amount which the accu-
mutations were likely to reach, and ac-
cording to the lowest computation II
was believed that the sum would in
seventy years amount to f19yOO0.OOO.
The family of the deceased disputed
the validity Of the will. and some years
were passed in litigation. the result be
ing that the document was declared
valid. but an act OF parliament was
passed I'm 1900 rendering null and void
all bequests for the purposes OF ac-
emulation for longer than twenty
years after the testator's death.
The last grandson Of Peter Thelusson
died in 1856. fifty-nine years after the
death OF the author Of the will. Pro
longed litigation again ensued, and
cided that Charles Thelusson was the
heir the legal expenses and costs OF
maintenance were found to have swal.
lowed up the whole Of the accumulat-
ed profits, leaving to the heir a sum as
nearly as possible equal to the original

between TWO FIRES.
Curious Hare Hunt That Occurred at
tho Battle Of Waeram.

At a certain stage Of the battle Of
Wagram, which took place in 1909,
the proceedings developed into great
hare hunt. There were 100000 hunt
ers, half French and half Austrians.
The plain was, 1t Is related, covered
with hares, which the long advance
OF the two armies had driven into a
narrow space. Frightened by the
guns OF the French, they ran for their
lives and continued to run until they
reached the Austrian lines. There
they were none the less terrified and
came rushing back upon the French.
The soldiers were greatly interested
by the frantic movements Of the hares
and could hardly be restrained from
making after them.
There occurred a charge by the Aus
trian cavalry, which, Of course. took
no account Of the hares. The horses
plunged In among them, and they
rushed In dlsmay among the ranks Of
the French soldiers. who, confused by
so strange IN attack, began bayonet-
Ing the hares. Other soldiers not i'm
mediately pressed by the onset OF the
enemy caught up the trembling anil
mails In their hands.
There was that day n great slaugh-
ter Of men and hares, and many q
shot destined for the enemy struck
one Of these poor animals, who doubt
less believed that the great armies
had come there expressly to hunt
them instead of to hunt each other

Bells and Bees.

1t Is n foolish notion TO suppose that
the ringing OF bells or "tanging' Of tin
pans will cause swarm OF bees to set
tie. The real origin OF this custom
dated back to the reign of Alfred the
Great, who, in order to prevent dis
putes regarding the ownership Of a
swarm, ordered that the owner should
always ring Il bell when his bees
swarmed, and ever since then the good
with ringing bells whenever the bees
swarmed, and the fact that they set
tied verified, in her own mind, the be-
lief that the bell did it.-London Stand

The only right way to relieve that strain

MAKING FIGHT ON HOG LICE
Excellent Remedy 10 Lard and kero-
sene OIL, About Equal Parts-
Will Not Injure the Skin.


10y a. J. LEGG.)
It has been q continuous fight with
ese against the hog lice. When think
I have them killed out some neigh
Dor brings lousy SOW for breeding
and as result there are plenty Of lice
left to stock the entire herd. Then
! have to make fight against hog
lice again.
II the sows have only few lice
when the pigs are narrowed the entire
litter will soon be polluted with lice.
I have seen numbers of half grown
lice on the pigs before they were a
week old.
Last spring mixed hogs lard and
kerosene oil, about equal parts, and
creased the sows with it about ten
days before they were due to farrow,
then in few days I went over them
again with the grease.
This killed the lice out so there
was not louise found on the pigs
from the time they were narrowed
until they were weaned.
Either the kerosene oil or the lard
will kill the lice all right, but the
kerosene by itself will irritate the
skin and will soon evaporate while the
lard will stay on the hogs for several
days. This mixture will not injure the
skin.

TREATMENT OF FLESH WOUND
Method Of Value to Every Owner Of
Stock 10 Given by Prof. q. n.
Glover OF Massachusetts.

The following treatment Of flesh
wounds by Prof. g. H. Glover Of Mas
sachusetts is Of value to every owner
Of stock, as he is q recognized au-
thority. The ordinary wound will heal
II not interfered with. This interior
ence may be from germs, parasites
meddling with the wound, on the part
Of man or the animal itself. The
first thing to do, Of course, would be
to stop the hemorrhage. This can be
accomplished by tight bandage Of
clean. white muslin applied either
over the wound or above It. A thread
may be run under the artery by using
needle and tied. Do not use flour,
dirt. cobwebs or anything Of that sort
on the wound: they are unnecessary
and may produce dangerous infection.
Having checked the bleeding remove
the clots Of blood and cut OF the rag
ged edges Of tissue with clean shears.
A pan Of antiseptic solution should be
provided, and one Of the best santisep-
tics on the farm is creolin. Add tea
spoonful Of this to pint Of water that
has been boiled and use It on the
wound two or three times day. Place
the knife. shears, ETC., in this solu-
ton and wash the hands before begin
ming to dress the wound. K
See that there Is good drainage
from the wound and do not tie the.
wound up with covering Of any kind.
