POOR AS a CHURCH MOUSE
Since Confetti Came Into Use, the
Saying Has More Meaning Than
at Former Times.

The sexton of a fashionable New
York church was sweeping into a
large mound the bright purple, red
and yellow discs "a corfetd which lit
tered the church entrance and steps.
This MONTH" he said. Il have had
already 35 weddings In my church.
And at every one Of these weddings
paper confetti was thrown at the
bride instead Of rice.
"Tbe confetti fashion is very vel
come to us sections. When rice was
used our churches were overrun with
mice. The saying, 'As poor as a
church mouse, was then meaningless
Why, in my church. where weddings
are so popular, several hundreds Of
mice-fat chaps they were. too
found an ample food supply in the
rice that was sprinkled over the
brides.
Now that rice has been aban-
doned for paper confetti. these mice
have all disappeared. They were
starved out. They COULDN'T live on
paper"
Bending with difficulty to collect q
few obstinate pieces Of the bright pa
per confetti that stuck to the floor,
the old sexton added:
"Of course, these bits of paper are
much more awkward for me to sweep
up than rice. But, even SC, hope the
confetti fashion has come to stay"

its sessions in Augusta, Ga, on Sat
urday that he openly threatens to XII
any man who tells him to his face thai
the charges are true.
The Governor is especially bite
against Thomas B. Fielder, an attor

ter snipes and political prostitutes
"If they will come to me- he con
t;nues, Il will call them son1ethln:

Furthermore, the Governor has III

TIE GAME BROKEN BY 30
RUNS IN THE 10Th INNING


KANSAS CITY. Aug. 3.-As an en-
try in the freak baseball game COM
petition an amateur game PLAYED i'm the
Junior league in Kansas city in which
two teams went nineteen innings to
% tie, and in the twentieth one side
scored 80 runs and the other .. proba-
bly, takes the lead. The game was
between the Yale Blues and the Bud
die Blues two seyenteen-y year old ag-
gregations, and fifteen pitchers were
used in the contest
Each team scored one run in the
sixth and each tailed one in the nine
teenth. and the game looked like it was
going to be finished some time after the
millennium, when the twentieth canto
arrived and the Yale blues in their
half scored just 30 runs. The Buddies
came back with 9 but lost the game
50 to II.

FEARS
PUBLIC s MIRTH
IN PACKEY BOUT
BY Ed. W. Smith.

TT it wasn't that Ad Wolgast,
lightweight champion, feared
public mirth and was laying
himself open to the charge Of being
"a swell headed little mutt" he
would box Packey Mcfarland at
any old weight that the Irish
man asked him to.
. This is what the champion says
himself.
He is a bit careful right now of
what said public thinks of him.
That's why he wants to insist
that Mcfarland make a low weight
for him.
Also he is a bit afraid of what
the public will think of him when
he demands $4,000 for his end for
a contest, the affair to be ten
rounds in New York the latter
part of September.
Terms Are a Record.

passed by the recent Legislature
goes into effect June 10. prohibiting
the use of the common drinking cup.
For several years the agitation in
regard to this question has been
growing. The spread of disease
through the use of the common cup
in railway stations, steamboats,.
boarding houses and stores is an un-
doubted fact. Henceforth no pub.

STONE AGE
German Scientists Recently
Had What They Called A
Stone Age Banquet.

With the sand bank as 1.-The table, u
dishes and untansils were made in
models of those used in the stone
age.
Cabbage soup formed the first
course. 1t was cooked in a wooden
bowl by means of stones that were
first heated and then thrown into
the water into which the cabbage
had been placed. AS fast as the
stones cooled others which had been
heated were put in to take their
place. The cooking took a great
deal longer, of course. than the new
er methods of today, but time was
not an object.
Boiled "leg of horse" came next.
1t had been cooked in the same man
ner. Roast pork, cooked over the
living Goals, and far better tasting,
the scientists said than any offering
of the greatest hotels. was an inn
portant dish. Stewed maize, cooked
by the hot-stone method. went with
the pork. ..".- 49,.
Turnips were roasted in the ashes
of the fire. the fire hardened part
jerked away and then served steam
ing hot. After this there was a des-
sert of dried berries and wild honey.
The banquet lasted more than three
hours. and when it was over and the
scientists were once more going
