ed with beads and other ornaments
the leg thus apportiOned TO him. The
cat. by an accident. injured one OF its
legs. The owner OF that member
wound around il a rag soaked IN oil.
The cat. going too near the hearth.

pain. rushed in among the cotton bales.

native judge examined the case, and
this was his decision:
The leg that had the oiled rag on il

PRANK OF A BASEBALL.
Funny Stunt That Once Won a Game
For the Washinatons.

Funny Stunt That Once Won a Game
For the Washinstons.
Following is an interesting story
told by Hugh s. Fullerton In the
American Magazine, in an article de-
scribing freak plays that have won
baseball games:
ION the old Washington grounds,
when Washington was In the National
league, the players left the field by
passing under the stands, and the en-
trance to the passage was closed by
q cellar door arrangement which
sloped down to the ground. The doors,
of course, were kept closed during
games, but at the top, cut in the
planks of the stand. was a small
square hole to permit the players to
reach through and nnlatch the doors
when they desired to leave the field.
During one game l saw ball,
which had been thrown wild to the
plate in an effort to cut off the tying
run, roll up the doors and disappear
through that hole. The batter circled
the bases and scored the winning run.
The Chicago club, under Arson, was
beaten and protested the game on the
ground that the opening existed in
violation of the rules. In the investi-
CATION of the complaint an attempt
was made to force bail through the
hole. and. although 1t was pounded
With a bat. the ball refused to pass
through the hole until the cover gave
way.
After that almost every team that
ca me on the grounds tried to put balls
through the hole and failed. How
that thrown ball managed to twist ITS
way through the aperture never mas
been explained satisfactorily"

LIVERPOOL, Sept officiating fats

transatlantic travel, and the vessel on
which, it is understood the provision

tania, which viii be launched on the Clyde
about December and put in commission
in the spring or early summer or next
year.
The Aquitania will be the largest yes
sci flying the British flag and probably
the largest in the world. "Proba bly,
because the Hamburg American line has
another leviathan on the stocks which
is said to be even bigger than the I'm
perator which now heads the list OF the
worlds big ships
Fashion in ocean travel changes pc
riodically, and the decision to build flats
on the Aquitania is said to be the out
come of a growing tendency among fam
lilies, especially English families, to live
on board exactly as they would at home.
Already there are in some of the Gu
narders a series of walled-of recesses
where it is possible for families to take
their meals by themselves. "Flatland
afloat" is simply an elaboration Of this
system of private suites.
Liverpool at present has no dock that
will be able comfortably TO hold the
Aquitana, and the Mersey dock and
harbor board is Fastening on the con-
struction of the new Gladstone dock at
Seaforth, which is to he opened by the
king in July of next year. There will
be ample accommodation for the new
Cunarder in this dock, and the sugges-
ton has been made that on the occa-
sion of the royal visit the king should
enter 1t on one of the largest and latest
Atlantic liners,
in the absence of official confirmation,
1t is not unreasonable to suppose that the
vessel selected for this honor will be the
Aqutania.

There is nothing new about the idea
of using Sage for restoring the color

their hair dark. glossy and abundant
by the use of a simple Sage Tea.
Whenever their hair fell out or took
on a dull faded or streaked appearance
they made brew OF Sage leaves, and
applied it to their hair with wonderful
ly beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old time tiresome method Of gath
erng the herbs and making the tea
This is done by skillful chemists better
than we could do it ourselves; and all
we have to do is to call for the ready
made product. Wyeths Sage and Sui
