Country S1uggers Called
First Curve ''Crooked Ball.

INNOVATIONS and developments OF
baseball have brought on some
ludicrous Incidents of the game
writes Ted Sullivan from Chicago
The first appearance of the curve ball
was not believed in by both the scien'
tifc and learned men of the country
so one can imagine what unsophisti
Gated country people back in the in
terror would think of il.
The first baseball club + ever organ
lied in my youth was the celebrated
Dubuque team Of 1879, which won the
pennant of the first Northwestern
league. The personnel and speed Of
the team can only be gauged when it
is known that Comiskey, present own
er of the White Sox, was only sub.
stitute, or extra man, on that club
Charles Radbourne was just emerging
into his major league greatness.
Having a, few open dates from the
regular schedule that year, made a
date for an exhibition game at Prairie
Du Chien, Wis, but in making the date
game would have to start at 2 p. m
on the day of the game. to enable us
to catch a 4 clock train.
Farmers See Game.
They accepted all terms and we ar
rived in old "Du Chem which we
found filed with farmers and towns
people to see real live professional
club. When we arrived at the grounds
the manager came to me and asked II
] could not wait until O'Clock, as
their captain and heavy hitter. Hal
Hawkins was teaching school three
miles from town and could not take
part In the game until O'Clock
told him | was very sorry, but we
could not wait, as we had to catch
the 4 clock train out of that town.
AS soon as the crowd heard this they
became indignant and said it would
not be game at all without School
teacher Hawkins was in the game.
One farmer said to the other: "It is
just trick Of these 'ere profession
ais, they just want 20 take advantage
of the Prairie boys when they knew
their heavy hitter. Hal. wouldn't be
here" Z" Another farmer said to q
townsman, Sy Wilkins:
"Thelr pitcher is afraid that Hal
will make four or five home runs of
him. the same as he did OFF the Hoop
pole county pitcher. -
Well, the game started and we con
tinued to hit the ball around ana the
Prairie boys began to kick it around
so they finally got us out after we made
abou.t ten runs, We took the field and
that king of pitchers, RaGbournc, took
his position with a smile
After tho first two "Du Chen boys -
struck out we noticed that crowd got
behind the backstop and began peep
inO ,.hrouph the cracks Groups of the
spectators got on both sides of the
catcher. wanted to find out what was
mystifling the ball.

Objects to Crooked Ball.

Finally ono of their players rushed
up to the umpire and stated thaa our

We nearly fell in the field laughingS
They, however, demanded to see the
ball to see if it was crooked. They,
however. put in another ball Of their
own and put close watch on Rad.

WOMEN SHOULD NEVER
USE HARSH PHYSICS

Women are especially susceptible to
constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence Of
cathartics and purgatives. Drastic
medicines like salts, mineral waters,
pills and powders may afford tempo
rary relief, but their violent action on
the stomach and bowels tends to up
set the entire system.
A mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination Of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. w. B. Caldwell, and
sold in drug stores under the name Of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos
tive in effect and pleasant to the
taste. A spoonful Of Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and, used regularly for a
brief period, will SO strengthen and
tone the muscles of the stomach and
bowels that there will be little, If any,
further need for medicine.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can be
procured In any drug store. Your

WENT AWAY WITH THE BOOTY
Elderly Irish Lady Proved She Was
Quite Capable Of Rising to
the Occasion.

Lord Spencer, when viceroy of Ire
land, used to keep open house, and all
ladies and gentlemen who had attend
ed drawing-rooms or levees had an un-
written right to attend the St. Pat
rick's day ball. Some very queer peo-
pie used to present themselves.
Not contented with eating and drink
ing all they could, many persons used
to make predatory raids on the tables
and carry off eatables Of all sorts. On
one occasion the comptroller saw a
stout, elderly lady take a whole fowl
and stuff it with considerable dizziness
into a somewhat capacious silk and
embroidered bag. He at once went
up to her and, pointing with his finger
at the bag. said:
Madam. won't you take some ham
with that?"
The good lady was not in the least
abashed, but replied:
"Ah, captain, sure It's joker you
are" and stuck to her booty.-From
Sir Alfred Turner's Autobiography.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dam
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month Is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample Of each

Train Fisb TO Catch Turtles.

In the neighborhood of Havana q
most peculiar method Of securing tur-
ties Is pursued They train or at
least take advantage of the instincts
of a certain species Of fish called by
the Spanish reve (meaning reversed).
because its back Is usually taken for
its stomach.
It has an oval plate attached to its
head. the surface of which Is trav-
ersed by parallel ridges. BY this plate
1t can adhere to any solid body 1t may
choose. The boats which go In quest
Of turtles each carry tub containing
a number of these reeves.
When the sleeping turtles are seen
they are approached. and as soon as
they are judged near enough a reve
is thrown into the sea. Upon perceiv-
in; the turtle its instinct teaches 1t to
swim right toward 1t and fit itself firm
l. upon the creature by means of its
disk. Sooner would the reve allow
itself to be pulled to pieces than give
up its grip.
A ring. which Is attached to the
tail of the fish, In which a string is
fastened. allows the fisherman to pull
in his prize. BY a peculiar manipula-
ton the reve is pulled OF and returned
to the tub, to be ready for use the next
time a turtle is sighted.-St. Louis

KEEPING HOUSE A BUSINESS
Charge That American Wives Pay
Too Little Attention to Smaller

American wives have yet to learn
that housekeeping is a business In
which they can earn money by saving
it. Many wives are today seeking
desperately for some occupation
which will pay them a few dollars
each week, when in their own re-
frigerators and pantries food is going

butter and sugar In prodigious guam
titles because their mistresses would
consider themselves 'stingy" to speak
word of warning or give direct su-
pervision of the culinary department
The French people are far ahead
of us in their observance of the pen
ny saved, penny earned" theory. They
use for their salads the parts of the
vegetables which we throw away.
They toast the leftover slices Of
bread which we let mold.
They prepare from the common and
healthful vegetables which We scorn
dishes fit for epicures. And they do
these things because they believe that
thrift Is imperative, and as a result
they have bank accounts and finan-
cial stability which is rare among the
plain people of other nations.

six professions. She must know some

true value In the world Of endeavor.
