BASE BALL NOTES.

Week before last the Lumberjacks
lost their position as leaders of the
league. This week they have. been
crowded out of second place and are
again maintaining their position only
with difficulty. Appleton, the league
leaders, have succeeded in besting US
six consecutive games, while we have
only succeeded in tying them in one.
They certainly are an aggressive lot
and we must take off our hats TO
them. However, there has been much
luck with them, and when Wausau
gets back into the running, which it
is hoped she will do, the scores will
be somewhat changed. The stand
ings of the teams at present are as
follows.

tween Colonel Roosevelt and the state
executive:
Governor Deneen has said there
were twenty-five members of the Hi

Senator Root as temporary chairman.
Asked as to the reason. the governor
explained that some Of Colonel Roose-
velt's friends, through their course
in connection with local factional diff
ferences, had made this detection pos
sible.
Is 1t possible?' asked the colonel,
that there are twenty-five men in the
Illinois delegation 70 whom you cannot
appeal on a question Of fundamental
honesty and who would disobey the
Instructions OF the state expressed
through a plurality Of 177.O0O?'
The governor, according TO the in.

with them, doesn't it look as il there
were something wrong with the whole
marriage system?
When man and woman marry, they
should grow into one as nearly
as possible. Each should make that
effort, instead of trying to stand out
for individual interests. for they are
merged in the making of a home and
their Joint efforts should go into the
rearing Of good citizens.
But nowadays full reign is given to
individualisms.
The ideal OF oneness is seldom cul-
tivated. Incompatibility seems to be
fostered. There are quarrels over
thine" and mine" And some day
the wife asks for a divorce, or the
husband hikes for parts unknown.
! When this state of affairs exists in
such measure among the Jewish PEG,
/ PIE, known for their loyalty to home
and the marriage vows, what must ii
/ be among the masses of all kinds OF
I people?
! Almost every couple could get aone
/ together comfortably if they would
use common sense, a little tolerance OF
each others peculiarities, and make
some effort to be agreeable in the
home as we'll as outside of home.
More company manners" at home
would solve many home problem anG
do away with most of the unhappiness
in quarrelsome families.
We are teaching cooking and othel
matters pertaining TO the home in on,

while he is not radical, as radiCalism

Democracy is proud of such a dem

POPE'S HEALTH Is AGAIN
THE CAUSE OF ANXIETY

Rome, June 2O.-The pope's health
is again causing anxiety. He shows
increasing fatigue and a lassitude
which is both physical and mental
His audiences of late have been much
rarer and more restricted. Indeed,
the pope has ceased what may be
called informal conversations and now
confines his interviews TO the ritual
benediCtiOns and TO giving his hand
to be kissed. His regular receptions
Of Cardinals Gotti, Rampolla and Res
pighi, projects of the principal con-
gregatiOns, are now reduced to fort
nightly interviews. II Is reported that
he pope is suffering from an almost
profound melancholy, which is prob
ably due 20 his now being more a
prisoner than ever. The effect OF the
pope's growing weakness has been the
failure OF a number Of reforms en-
aLating from the vatican.

The Argus Daily Story
In Pursuit of Beauty-By Clarissa Mackie.
copyrighted 1911. by Assov-ated Literary Bureau

Dan Forsythe rode moodily along
the boundary OF Nickleson's ranch.
From the rise OF ground at the south
west corner he could get a glimpse Of
the roof of the ranch house that shell
tered Kitty Nickleson.
Even as Dan rode slowly along the
boundary he saw horSeman in the
distance and recognized him as Forbes.
The latter was approaching the MCKEE
son ranch at an easy pace and, as
Dan thought, with all the confidence
OF a newly accepted lover who knows
that his sweetheart is waiting for him.
Rather than have his secret discov-
ered-and news travels fast in the
cattle country, even though the popu-
lation is composed largely Of the mas
culine sedan swung his horse
around and dashed toward the north.
He rode fast and furiously, just as
though he was out looking for stray
cattle or on some other urgent bust
ness bent.
When at last he drew rein he was
many miles from home in the open
country that was known as the free
range"
Then Dan Forsythe was startled by
a black object that hurtled toward him
out of the distance and then, when neal
enough 20 observe him, whirled about
and dashed away.
Dan rubbed his eyes.
That's Kitty Nickleson's horse" he
muttered. 1T must have broken loose
I'll have to catch it before somebody
else puts a brand on the critter."
In a second Dan was flying after
Kitty Nickleson's black horse. Beauty
which was famed the countryside
through for its spirit and thorough
breeding Beauty's mother had beer

| footed as the wind.
Dan Forsythe's horse was not Il

as the wind Cyclone certainly deserv-
ed his name. for he tore after the flee
ing horse like a black whirlwind.>
AS Dan drew nearer to the runaway
he saw with tightening throat that n
saddle was girted on Bcauty'S back.
That meant one Of two things-either
Beauty had bolted from the ranch be-
fore his mistress had mounted-and
that appeared unlikely, for no one
seemed to be in pursuit of him-or he
had thrown Kitty and left her some
where, hurt or dying.
Pursuer and pursued had torn over
the plain for twenty miles before Dan
realized what was happening. Beau
" had swerved TO the right almost i'm

1t was alleged by the state that
Mrs. Doxey married Erder at Clay

the insurance money, which she tried
