COLLECTION OF 81 RUNS
OBTAINED BY CLERGYMEN
Fracas at Belle Isle Between
Has Good Result
Methodists and Baptists

Just to prove that denatured base
ball was a possibility, more than a
score OF clergymen gathered at the
river at Belle Isle yesterday and In
dulged in a fracas that was patterned
after the national pastime In imple-
ments and number OF men used only.
The Baptists attacked the Method
ist conference athletes with a vim.
While doing SO they proved their
superiority in ethics II not in base
bali for they followed the golden rule
10 the letter. verse and reverse. They
not only did to the Methodists what
they would have the Wesleyians do
TO them, but they didn't do to their
NJ. +. opponents what they wouldn't
have their opponents do to them.
(Take that TO some expert chemist
for analysis.)
There was considerable base run
ming and base-hitting and baseball
playing GENERALLY, but the crowds
swear that the ministers didn't.
The main professional came in the
fourth inning when dozen Method
lists methodically passed the plate.
Ii must have been that these same
Methodsts were at one time tele-
graph operators. though, for at thin
ty' they quit.
The collection amounted to these
80 runs mentioned for the Method
ists and only a couple for the Bap-
lists. These latter weer united and
expect 10 live happily ever after. }

An Old Hickory Wagon

Garfield, KY, Editor News; dear sir:
have been requested to give an ao-
count of my visit t. Louisville at the
State fair and the Kentucky Wagon
factory. | will be glad to do so
through the columns Of your paper if
you will! allow me space.
| will begin by saying my visit to
Louisville was very pleasant one, as
| was permitted totravel over goodly
portion of her many beautiful streets.
My visit to the State fair was one that
l shall long remember, because of its
many benefits, for there it was that |
saw what Kentucky really is. A few
things that l saw are; a few of the
nations finest race, saddle and edu-
Gated horses: cattle weighing {. om
1900 to 2,7UO pounds each; several
hogs weighing from 900 to ! 200 pounds;
some very fine sheep and some excel
lent poulty.as well as the best of all
kinds Of agricultural and horticultural
products.
But my visit Sept. 10, ~ to the
Kentucky Wagon Factory was one of
great interest, though it is of no use to
say anything of the "Old Hickory"
wagons as they speak for themselves.
l wish to mention few things about
the great Kentucky Wagon plant and
why the "Old Hickory" is so reliable.
About the first thing of note that I
noticed was their lumber yard which
approximate value is 100000. In
that yard they keep lumber seasoning
from two to eight years in order that
nothing but perfectly season able lum.
Der go into use. The second thing
noticed was how carefully they selected
their lumber to see that nothing i'm
perfect in any way was used; third, and
still more commendable, is after all
the different parts Of the wagon are
manufactured they are examined again
by an expert, and those parts which
are not perfectly constructed are re-
jeeted. So you see it's no mystery that
the sold Hickory" has been pronoun-
ced 99sS per cent perfect. am quite
sure that il the farmers of our country
could take a walk through the Ken
lucky Wagon Factory as | did they
would see that the far famed "Old
Hickory" would be the wagon for
them. Geo. Gregory,

IF YOU GET THE RIGHT GIRL
SHE IS CHEAP AT ANY PRICE"
The Atlanta Constitution

DR.. l.. o. Bricker has began his new
series of popular s. nday evening
sermons at the First Christian church.
under the title, Between John and
Mary" dealing with the sacred and
beautiful things which may come out
of the love of a man and maid. His
subject was John, and His Duty to the
Race"
After recoupting the story of crea-
ton, and inquiring as to the primary
and fundamental reason for the exist
ence Of a man, DR.. Bricker spoke in
part as follows:
1t is the plan and purpose of God,
aud the demand and expectations of
nature, John, that you should some day
meet a maid, fall in love with her,
marry her and become the father of a
family. In short, having beer created
a man, you are expected to fulfill the
functions of man. This is the first
and greatest demand that nature
makes upon you,and this is the highest
and best thing she has to offer you.
In the face of this established fact
why are there SO many bach, lor Johns?
John says it i, because he has never
found the woman the Lord intended
him to marry. That is because you
have not been looking, John; or maybe
you refused to recognize her when you
met her; or failed to speak to her when
YOU recognized her.
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1912-10-02

"Girls are so dreadfully expensive, "
says John. Well, in these days of the
high cost Of living, they do come lit
tie higher than they used to, but if
you happen to get the right one she
is cheap at any price. All good things,
pretty and delightful, charming and
useful things are expensive; and good
wife is all of this, and more, and If she
costs a bit she is worth it. And as to
girls being expensive. they are not
nearly so expensive as they look, To
look at a girl in full rigging, top sail
and all, fairly takes a mans breath
away, If you try to estimate the cost
Of upkeep, but to look at ner takes
your breath away anyhow, SO what's
the difference?
The real reason why John don't mar
ry is that he is afraid. He is afraid
of love. Love is the supreme test of
life. 1t tries every soul. 1t sInites
every base thing in us, and refuses TO
live in peace with meanness, sordd-
ness, or seliishness of any kind. 1t de-
mands nobleness. When it first comes,
we leap to it, for it is the most glori-
Gus thing in the world, and then we
discover it's fatal requirements. Alas.
we must be good, and we must be great.
And we are afraid. And because they
are afraid, some put great love away
entirely. They choose littleness, be-
cause it is more comforta BILE.
