POKING FUN AT
The ship CAPTAINS.
HumOriSt Ford Has a Word to
Say About Life at Sea.

Simeon Ford discussed thousand
foot piers for steamships at banquet
aboard the new Lamport-Holt liner
Vestris, which plies between Brooklyn
and South America.
"Since the steamships are so anxious
for longer berths for themselves, let
'em reciprocate," said Mr.. Ford. "No
six foot man can sleep in berth on a
steamship unless he puts accordion
plaits in his legs.
But the proprietors Of these float
ing hotels have us land hotel men
beaten to frazzle. They collect your
money before you room. If patron
becomes obstreperous he can be hung
up at the yardarm. On land it's the
proprietor who is hung up.
"And just see what an easy life the
captain has-simply puts on a clean
uniform each day, steps up to the
bridge and points some funny busi-
ness at the sun. Then he tells you
how many miles the ship went in the
day, and it never agrees with your de-
cision for the ships pool in the smok-
ing room.
"The captain on this ship is lucky
his vessel runs out of Brooklyn. l ran
out of Brooklyn years ago." - New
York Press.

What a Yawn Tells,

When children bite their nails this
often points to some digestive trouble,
80 do not scold your BARNS for this
nasty trick, but diet them very care
fully and consult doctor If they seem
at all out of sorts. In older people the
habit often goes with hasty temper,
which, in Its turn. may be traced to a
bad digestion.
Constant. uncomfortable yawning
may sometimes point to a growth in
the nose and throat The person can
not breathe properly, so he is forced to
yawn, not by WEAKNESS, but in order
y dCaw more air into his lungs

Games For chiIdren,s Partls.

Do not choose an elaborate game for
a children's party. You must not, for
instance, have one which involves the
use Of song or speech. as many of the
children will not know the words and
consequently will feel "out Of it." A
clever game of the "sit down and
think" kind may be very good for
grown people. but it merely bores the
little ones and makes them cross and

Unless the supply of seed corn is

to grow larger type Of corn than can

The interest on the amount invested
in the materials necessary to build a
machine shed is in most cases good
deal less than the amount already tied
up in machinery to be protected. The
slipshod manner in which high priced

ments constitutes one Of the big yet
avoidable leaks in American farm
management.

In protecting the rosebushes for the
winter very satisfactory plan is to
cover them with an old door or boards
which will shield the canes from the

shine If no litter is put around them
there is far less likelihood that the
mice will find harbor near them and
bark the stalks.

be pretty well agreed that better re-

mixed with the roughage, this arrange

The frying pan may be handy i'm

pend upon it altogether too largely in
the preparation Of their bill of fare.
Vegetables boiled are always more di-
gestible than those fried, while broiled
meats are not only more wholesome
than those fried but more toothsome
as well. The frying pan is fertile
source of indigestion, bad temper and
domestic infelicity, and yet whole

years later mad his major league
debut with the Louisville club of the
Twelve-Club National league. While
a member of the Philadelphia Ma
tionals in 1903, Fraser broke into the
baseball hall of fame on September
10, by pitching a no-hit game against
the Chicago team. In 1905 he was
with the Boston Nationals, winning IA
and losing %; in 1906 he won 10 and
lost 20 for Cincinnati, but his work
was of such merit that Frank Chance
wanted him to steady the pitching
staff of the Cubs by his veteran craft,
and he Won a majority of his games,
the figures being eight and five. In
1908 he worked in 26 games, winning
II and losing nine. With that sea-
son he dropped out of the major league
records. Last yea with Decatur in
the Observation-Disclosures league he
won six and lost six; made only one
fielding error in Is games, and batted
1856, which was a heap better than a
lot of other pitchers did in that
league.
