Premier Catcher Chicago Cubs, Who
Is Regarded as One of the Great
est Catchers the Game Ever
Has Developed.

You know the funniest thing about
the mistake l have in mind was that
didn't make 1t. l was saved by an &C.
cldent from making the bluRder.
won't say it was the worst mistake I
ever made in my life. because you
know these fans have long memories
and they may recall one twice as bad
that I've forgotten. Anyhow, they
never would have forgotten that one
If I had succeeded IN making 1t as l
planned to do.
1t was in one Of the worlds series
games between Detroit and the Cubs.
when | was a member of the Detroit
team. II you remember those games
you WILL recall that everyone said the
catchers were way off in their work.
There always was an argument as TO
who was to blame. but I guess 1t
doesn't make any difference now. and
probably we all were more or less in
the wrong. Schmidt was doing the
bulk of the catching for us, and the
crowd was sore on him, blaming him
for mistakes, no matter who made
them. l was on the bench wild to get
into some of the games, but Of course
not saying a word until called upon.

Floral Table Decorations.

Have you ever seen a table in sum-
mer decorated with wild carrot? 1t
costs nothing and when arranged in
masses in q deep green bowl is cool
and dainty If you can get the seed
Dods to mix in with the carrot the ei-
'ect is heightened. In selecting a
loral centerpiece strive for variety.
Have a different decoration for each
meal. Even If flowers must be used
more than once. as IS natural where
one has a small garden, il takes little
lime to have a separate decoration for
Zach meal At breakfast keep the
scheme simple. Some people Will not
use flowers at this meal, but a few
blooms in a slender vase are sure to
attract. The dinner decoration should
have thought put on it.

nWatchU Maruuard.

The Giants say that Marquard has
obtained possession of George Wiltses
famous watch, which always brings
good luck to its wearer. The story
goes that many years ago Wiltse fell
into a swamp and came up with a gold
watch. He lent it TO his friends, and
for a long time Christy Mathewson
was alleged to carry it. Anyhow, the
Giants used to get runs whenever
Matty pitched. Leon Ames never was
allowed 10 pack the charm, and conse-
quently he lost many well-pitched
games because the team failed TO score
behind him. And now the champions

CRIMINAL Indifference

Diphtheria is epidemic In Ken

quoted the Board OF Health as stat
ing that it is prevalent in twenty
counties. The fact is that 1t is much
more widespread than that and
proving more serious than stated.
Covington is possibly the most Sc
rious sufferer and the public schools
and public libraries have been clos
ed and children are prohibited from
attending the moving picture shows.
Covington knows how to handle the
disease-how to prevent its spread.
There have been a number of cases
in and about Berea, but there seems
to be entirely too little precaution
against its spread. The doctors are
doing what they can and warning PEG.
pie and also giving antitcxin as
preventative. but there seems TO
be a general indifference. Some that
have been exposed go boldly and car
lessly about the streets, seemingly
with no thought of any obligation 20
their neighbors. Persons who have
been exposed to a disease and know
it, and who do not take precautions
to prevent its spread, are not only
viciously careless but wilfully Grim
inal.
This is . matter of most vital
concern, not only to Berea and vicin-
ity but to every neighborhood, and
1t would be hard to speak of 1t in
too strong language. Poison wilfully
handed a child would kill 1t and
there might be some punishment met
ed out to the criminal in that case.
The diphtheria germ, carried in the
clothes or by some one taking the
disease, or recovering from it, is a
poison and kills more surely than a
great manly poisons. And, while there
is no law to apprehend the individu-
al who distributes this poison, there
ought to be a law, and II not a law,
sufficient public sentiment to isolate
him.
And the same thing may be said
about the person who carelessly
spreads measles. whooping cough or
any other contagious disease.
