Big Ed Wing Another Game.

| In the game between Houston and
| Galveston Saturday afternoon the
former won by a score of to 2.
Roger Edmondson pitched for Hous-
ton, and the Post has the following
regarding the game:
Winning his third consecutive
game of the season from Galveston
yesterday, Edmondson set a record
which will probably go a long ways
this year. Winning three games is
no easy feat, but to take them from
the same club is almost impossible,
And yesterdays victory was achiey-
ed almost without effort, the Bluffs
having gained commanding lead
in the first two innings which en-
abled the big boy to loaf through
the game. Two thousand fans saw
Houston win its opening game At
home, 6 to 2.
Houston had ample revenge on
Sandy Malloy, who shut them ous
/ last Saturday at Galveston with two
4 hits. They made but that many yes
terday off Malloy, but they got them
in but two innings and mingled
them with four walks, four hit bats
men, three stolen bases, two wild
pitches, a sacrifice and two errors,
and the result was six runs that
banished Sandy from the slab His
wiidness was something remark
able. It seems impossible for one
, man to- mingle so many pitching
, crimes in so short a time. Malloy
was succeeded by Southpaw Morton
who shut Houston out the remain
, der of the game, doing especial,
, brilliant work in pinches,

Survivors of the Titanic Ito tune
of "God Our Help in Ages Past"):
Lord of the everlasting hills,
God of the boundless sea,
Help us thru all the shocks of fate
To keep our trust in Thee.
When natures unrelenting arm
Sweeps US like withes away.
Maker of Man, be Thou our
strength
And our eternal stay.
When blind. ensensate, heartless
force
Puts out our passing breath,
Make US to see Thy guiding light,
In darkness and in death.
Beneath the roll of soundless waves
Our best and bravest lie
Give us to feel their spirits live
immortal in the sky.
We are Thy children, frail and small
Formed Of the lowly sod.
Comfort our bruised and bleeding
souls,
Father and Lord and God.

SPARE THE BIRDS AND SAVE

The department of agriculture es-
Inmates that the tax the farmers of
the United States pay for the luxury
of insects and rodents amounts to
billion dollars year. This is the
value of food destroyed. 1t is that
much taken from the farmers just
profits. 1t is that much food kept
from the markets where loud cries
are raised from time to time against
excessive prices.
When the farmers decide that
they prefer this money to the food

on the birds They will encourage
them to take up early residence in
the countryside and to linger longer
than is their custom. They viii plant
