One Record Now Lost to the
Giants, or So 1t Seems.
WHAT THE CUBS MUST DO
News and Views on Live Topics
of the Day, Both Amateur
and Professional.

John j. McGraws ambition for the
Giants to establish q record for the
greatest number of games won In sea-
son has suffered a rude shock In the last
three or four weeks. In fact, the
chances OF equalling the mark of lie
Victories and SO defeats. set by the Chi
cago Cubs In 1906. are too slim to be
worth considering. The season Is now so
far advanced that only sixty games are
left to be played. including all postpone
ments. so that II would be necessary for
the Giants to win fOrty-seven and lose
only thirteen In order 10 reach the high
water mark in the history of the major
leagues This would necessitate the team
travelling at a pace quite as fast as in
the early part Of the season. which Is
quite unlikely in view of the fact that
the Phillies, the Cubs and the Pirates
are now playing much stronger than was
the case when McGraws men were rid
ing roughshod over all opposition Early
in July the chances appeared 10 be all IN
favor Of the Giants establishing rec
erd that would stand for years TO come
but the slump which comes to all teams
at one time or another in the early part
of the second Western trip practically
put an end TO hope in this direction.
1t IS more than likely, however, that
the Giants Will better their mark Of a
year ago, when they won the National
League peunant with ninety-nine victo-
ries and ffty-four defeats. BY winning
every other game played for the remain
der Of the season they would finish with
just about the same figures. and, OF
course. the probabilities are in favor of
their doing much better than that, or at
least enough better to get a higher rat
ing than was the case a year ago. Just
about one-half of the games left on the
schedule will he played on the Polo
Grounds, and this in itself is big adj
vantage at the tail end Of q gruelling
race.

@, The Little Snake
OlOKV That Lives Under
The Stones
p IKH most gIrls, EveIyn was afraid ot snakes.

Ike most girls, Evelyn was afraid of snakes #
"She thinks they'll bite her. laughed Jack
Fl don't believe any OF the snakes around here viii hurt her" said
daddy. I've never seen anything more deadly than a garter snake In
this neighborhood. -
"ALr. Garter Snake isn't such a bad fellow If you know him we'll Out nm
der the pile Of stones where the chdpmunk family has had a home for several
years lives a garter snake
He s 80 tame that when the sun shines o his front door he sometimes
pokes his head out and sits, swaying backward and forward as he watches to
see what is going on in the garden
when he is hungry he goes gliding or through the grass to look for food
Garter snakes are fond Of field mice, young frogs and toadA In the west
they eat the young gophers and ground squirrels and are therefore very useful
to the farmer whose crops these little animals hurt Insects are also their
food.
"The house had been overrun with mice all winter, and as we had no cat
that year they CAV, mother a good deal Of trouble
When that garter snake began to be seen about the garden those mice
suddenly went away. We could never be sure whether they changed their
home or whether they went down Mr.. Garter Snakes throat Mother thought
maybe the snake ate some OF them, and she would never allow as children to
bother him.
THE next year, however, there were so many of the snakes that we had to
do something to get rid OF them. You see, a mother snake sometimes raises
from twenty-five to forty young ones in a season
IL think the worst thing that is said against the garter snake is that he
sometimes eats the eggs and the young ones from the nests of those birds that
build near the ground Many small animals who are more popular than Mr.
Snake are said to do the same thing
Tn the water the garter snake ian swim about quite as well as his cousin,
Mr.. Water Snake, who eats fishes Garter snakes when chased by black
snakes, who viii make a meal of them If they get a chance, often take to the
water, where the black snakes can't follow them. Hawks and owls also eat
the snakes.
when cold weather comes the snake finds a warm hole where it rolls up,
sometimes smuggling into a coil with other snakes, and all go TO sleep until
spring comes back again"

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Some people are inclined to
prevent women from exercising
the rights Of suffrage. There are
those who are disposed to declare
ome r not yet prepared for the
ballot-that they are the weaker sex
and all such tommyrot.
But that the women Of North Dako-
Ia r amply able to take care of
themselves has so frequently been
demonstrated no one can longer doubt
their ability in that direction. One of
the most recent evidences of this
comes from Hankinson.
1t seems that careless individuals
have been accustomed to make short
cuts over the farm OF Mrs. Nellie
Sweeney. She is a Celtic parsonage
down there among the phlegmatic
Teutons. They have riled her. That's
evident. She served notice against all
trespassing-and did the job in a most
emphatic manner. Incidentally she
made a few side thrusts at the son of
q gun who bought an automobile be-
AoA6 hC pau AOE ZIG S1IIu USED IN the
mortar for his house foundation.
The Hankinson News contained the
following notice over her name:
Parties in the habit Of crossing my
cultivated ground in order to shorten
routes on hurry-up calls will read
That when I open up my farm for a
race course to oblige a floating, thank

take a fine Of $25 to make some people
sit up and take notice. And those mer
who have helped themselves to my

day Senator Ashurst had something to
say, in the upper branch OF congress
about his state. The thought Of Ari-
zona inspired him to glorious flights Of
oratory-and the choicest words OF
the dictionary ran riot from his elo-
quent lips. Here is what he said, in
part, about the glorious dawns in Ari-
zona:
Some years ago I camped one sum-
n1er's night high upon the southern
slopes OF the great San Francisco
peaks. / awoke early. just as the blue
lance heads OF dawn were shooting
up from the eastern horizon. Here
and there other mountain peaks soon
began to break through the vapory
sea- that filled the gorges, like an is
land whose jutting and COMPOUNDED
base was swelled by the wild and
wastefuI ocean. / saw the unnumber-
ed stars and their shining trains re-
cede before lambent pillars of fire that
pierced the zenith; and the moon, re-
fulgent lamp Of night, paled her sill
very brightness rs the curtain Of day
still further lifted, and over heavens
clear azure the sun began to spread
its golden CLEAN. I once climbed to
the top Of Mount Agassiz, the mon
arch of Arizona's mountains; from the
top Of the mountain l looked toward
the east across a silent forest of vivid
greens wilderness Of v~erdure--to the
far-famed painted desert, which, with
harmonious confusion, lay spread 100
miles away, a sea of jasper with a
beach of sulphur empurpled with ce-
lestial fire.
Can YOU beat It?

Looked Like Wild Animals.

Capt. Ejnar Mikkelsen. the Danish
Arctic explorer and the engineer, Iver-
sen, who were rescued recently on
the coast of Greenland by a Nor
wegtan fishing vessel, after having
spent more than two a in that
region, looked like wild animals when
the rescuers found them. They had
spent the previous winter at Bass
Rock island, not Shamrock island, as
previously stated. and 1t was there
that the Norwegians came upon them
in a cabin which they had built.
The first sign that there were hui
man beings in that neighborhood was
a wooden bar with the date 1912 cut
in 1t, set up as a signal, which the
Norwegian fishermen happened upon.
An investigation disclosed the cabin.
The fishermen knocked at the IGOR and
Mikkelsen and Iversen rushed out,
nearly naked, with guns in their
hands under the impression that the
knocking was caused by beasts OF
prey.
Mikkelsen had been very i'll on the
long journey to Bass Rock island and
Iversen had dragged him 100 miles
On a sledge. Fortunately the two men
had enough ammunition to enable
them at all times to procure food.

Watch Lost Twenty-Five Years.

A gold watch, open-faced, with a
gold chain attached. was found a
day or two ago beneath a stone wall
by Grant Harrington on the latter's
farm east of Pulaski. The articles
had remained In the wall u~ndisturbed
for o than a quarter OF a century
and the finding of them practically
clears up a mystery that has remained
unsolved all these years, as 1t is said
by those who lived in the vicinity
twenty-five years ago that the i'm
preston prevailed at the time the
watch had been stolen.
Emeriah Frary, at that time so
years old, was engaged in building
the stone wall on the Harrington
farm. Mr.. FTary placed his vest, in
the pocket Of which was the watch.
beneath the partially completed stone
wall and when he completed his days
work he made an unsuccessful search
for the garment. In recalling the in
cident the other day Mr.. Harrington.
at that time a young man, stated
that Frary had forgotten where ne
had placed the vest and labored under
the impression that it had been
stolen.
The glass crystal of the time-piece
was missing. Emeriah Frary passed
away fifteen or twenty years ago. Mr..
Harrington turned owe the recovered
property to John Frary, son of the
late Emeriah Frary.

MONEY.

There will be no more dirty paper
bills-that Is in a physical sense-ir
Secretary OF the Treasury MacVeagh
has his way. He is having expert
ments made in washing soiIed green
backs. 1t is claimed that the dirtiest
kind OF legal tender can be run
through one of the new-fangled ma
chimes and come out crisp and clean.
There would be economy in this-as
the dirty bills are constantly being re-
placed by new ones.
Another change in the present pa
per currency is to be in the size Of the
bills. At present they are S.o4 inches
wide and 1928 inches long. Under the
new deal they are to be 2.5 inches
wide and 6 inches long. 1t is claimed
the reduction in the size Of the bills
would save the government hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually.
Most people will gladly accept them
-any size.
