TOMBSTONE A STAR PITCHER
Umpire, Who Could Not Agree With
President Tom Lynch, Was Once

Jim tombstone. who left the Ma

handler of the indicator by chance.
Back In 1894, when Charlie Comis-
key had the st. Paul club Ia the old
Western league, which later developed
into the American league through the
pushing tactics of Ban Johnson, the
late Matt Killilea, Connie Mack and
Charlie Somers. there was q young

but the warm climate finally began to
benefit him and he gained slowly. He
was too weak to get into the game
and pitch any, but one day 1t was sug-
gested that he might help himself by
umpiring bit.
Jim thought over the matter and
wondered how he would fare against
tcme of the rough ones II he made a
rnrten decision, but finally he decided
to take a chance and he did. He UNI
pired a game for two teams and got
age. With his daily exercise came
back his strength and It was not long
before he was back to his old form.
His umpirlng had been success. He
received offers from managers to get
back into the harness again as a
pitcher, but after thinking the matter
over he determined to stick to the in
dicator. He soon had an offer from
the big league and remained there for
number Of years, the break coming
with President Lynch last fall.

Proclamation for Sane Celebration.

State Fire Marshall Palmer issued
proclamation requesting that a sane
Fourth be maiptainned throughout the
state He also pointed out that last
year there was not an accident in
cities in Michigan where independence
day was celebrated in a quiet way.
Each year our celebration is
marred and our satisfaction and pleas
ure made less keen by accidents which
might otherwise be averted,' declared
the marshal.
1T may be we'll that We in the cele-
bration of this day in which we all
take so much pride. should cooperate
with the fire chiefs and others whose
duty IL is to combat contlagrations.
I'm the use of fireworks II Is best
to select a place for the display which
is not adjacent to buildings or in
fammabie material. Care should be
used in throwing explosives where
they are not apt to start fire, or
smolder and break out at any time
without any preliminary warning.
Last year the fire losses in Michi-
:.ar, as a direct consequence OF the
Fourth OF July, we're less than ever be-
fore and it is to be hoped that the
people OF this great commonwealth
will this year reduce that splendid
record.

Repairs His Blunder.

The senate finance committee yield
ed to the inevitable when II decided
to strike out OF the Underwood bill the
foolish provision allowing FIVE per
cent. discount on all duties imposed
on goods coming to this this country
In American built or American owned
vessels. The Tribune pointed out
when the Underwood bill was being
considered in the house of representa-
tives that legislation OF this sort would
be direct violation OF our treaties
with the chief maritime nations OF the
world and would inevitably lead to
trade reprisals.
Since from 65 TO 70 per cent. of the
imports into. the United States under
the new law will probably be untaxed.
the slight benefit to American vessels
from the proposed discount would not
compensate for the diplomatic embar-
easements and money losses sure TO
follow trade war with the nations
which are at present the best GUS
toners for American goods.
The idea OF a differential In favor or
American shipping is an old one ana
mas been much favored both by high
protectionists and by advocates of
revival through legislative aid OF the
American merchant marine. But the
trainers OF the Mckinley and Dingley
bills. who were in hearty sympathy
with the purpose of differential. had

away the basis of reciprocal conces-
sions on which most OF our treaties OF
commerce rest.-New York Tribune.

Health and Beauty.

"For red eyelids there Is nothing so
beneficial as strong salt water" says a
beauty doctor. Mix this about one
teaspoonful to glass and battle the
eyelids with it. 1t acts as tonic to
the lids and is particularly beneficial
to eyelids that are troubled with styes
or granulation.
One very prolific cause for women's
wrinkles is the raising of browS.

Do Not Pull Hair Back Tightly. ,

Many mothers make a great mistake
in pulling their small daughters hair
tightly back from the face. There are
few faces, even childish ones, that can
stand this treatment. And many little
girls could grow up unconscious Of fea-
lures that perhaps do not come up to
the average standard of beauty II their
hair were arranged gracefully and
softly.
Nothing makes life harder for a
small girl than for her to feel that her
looks are noticeably unloyely-as many
small girls with two tight pigtails
standing at right angles from their
necks and sleek hair pulled and plas-
tered back straight from their promi-
nent brows do feel.
Through the age when bobbed hair
is worn no hair ornaments save sim
gle ribbon should be allowed the little
girl. With the coming of the next
stage comes the possibility of more
elaborate accessories. The one ribbon
can still be the rule. With it her hair
still may be tied at one side and the
locks that formerly were bobbed can
be allowed to grow into curls or ring
let's.
She may wear ribbon or silk band
to bind her hair neatly to her head She
can wear wide ribbon about her head.
and this can end in rosette or big
bow at one side.
The little girl whose hair is straight
has her own difficulties in this world.
Straight hair looks untidy when 1t is
allowed to hang about the shoulders.
French mothers teach their daughters
to weave strands of their hair between
their fingers whenever they have time
to do it. This crinkling process brings
out latent waving possibilities even in
the most straight looking hair.
French mothers. too, do not like to
see the hair on the top Of the head
look fat and plastered down. as it OF
ten does after play or when the hat is
removed So they use little orris
root or talcum powder on the top hair
to keep it fluffy.
The pores at the root Of the hair
must never be clogged with any sor,
of powder. but it can be used safely
on the hair itself to keep it dry and
light. 1t should be blnshed on quit
lightly.

One Of the sights of LONDON Is the
costermonger when he is arrayed in
gala attire. The costermonger. as
many of our young readers may not
know. is a peddler of fish or vegeta-
bles, and he travels the streets of Lon
don in his barrow. which is a small
wagon drawn by donkey. When
dressed for holiday the costermonger
is a sight to behold. He wears suit
Of velvet decorated with rows and cir
cles or whatever figure suits his fan
cy all done with pearl buttons. Some
of them have been known to disport
a costume with 10000 pearl buttons
sewed on as a decoration, and the
young people Of his family are SINH
larly clothed on special occasions
such as picnic or other outings The
girls in the picture are costermongers'
daughters. Their velvet costumes are
covered with pearl buttons, as the pho
tograph discloses. They were dancing

MRS. JOHN PURROY mitchell.
The election of John Purroy Mitchell
brings his wife into great prominence
as official chatelaine of the city of
New York. Mrs. Mitchell, who before
her marriage to Mr.. Mitchell was a
Boston girl, is the picture of strong.
healthy outdoor woman, and she holds
that every one could be healthy II he
or she would take regular exercise.
She is particularly interested in swim
ming.
The wife Of the new mayor elect Is
also strong champion of woman's
suffrage and believes that in ten years
hence women will have the ballot in
New York state. Although a suf-
fragist, Mrs. Mitchell took no active
part in her husbands campaign. She
Is more interested in the work Of the
woman's auxiliary Of the board OF
health, which is aiding in the fight to
stamp out tuberculosis, than in the po-
litical game.
In a recent interview Mrs. Mitchell
was asked whether she would insist
upon her husband putting ban on
the slit skirt and the filmy sartorial ef-
liberty came out
Indeed, / would not!' she replied.
'This is a free country, and l believe
that every one should be allowed to
dress as she pleases. OF course If any
style should be too extravagant it
would bring its own punishment. Wo-
men should dress so as to make them
selves most attractive, and extrava-
CANT dress will not do that"
Mrs. Mitchell alluded to the fact that
she liked housekeeping and would not
be content without her own home. So
the natural question was:
III you like housekeeping, do you
like cooking?
"Shail l tell lie or shall tell the
truth?" she replied with charming
little laugh, I'm say that l like to
cook in camp. and camping is great.
l would like to spend two months in
the woods that way every year. All
outdoor life is very attractive to me-"
Incidental to her remarks about
housekeeping, Mrs. Mitchell spoke Of
the criticism often heard of the higher
education Of women. Mrs. Mitchell be-
lieves that the more highly developed
woman is intellectually tho more
helpful she can be as a wife. Il am
not a college woman myself, but am
sorry that ] am not"
