ira bases that would beat anything in
past records.
Wagner cracked out three home
runs off Marquard last season,
not to mention a pair of three-bag-
gers and a liberal sprinkling of ordi-
nary base-hits. Wilson did the very
same thing against Lavender, al
though his home runs won games
from the Cubs, while, on the other
hand, Honus was unfortunate in the
fact that two of his three circuit
smashes off Marquard counted for
nothing, as the Pirates lost.
Wilson's batting against Lavender
all season was something noteworthy.
Three times on the Chicago's grounds
the Texan slammed one of Lavender's
spitters into the right field pavilion,
and the drives came at the right time,
too. One of Wilson's wallops was
on September 4, when the Cubs still
had a fine chance of oTting the Gil
ants. 1t was a four-base smash in
the eighth inning with two runners
on base that beat the Cubs. Another
came on October 8, Wilson's homer
in the eighth inning making the score
stand a tie in the game that later
was thrown out on a protest because
Cotter batted out Of turn
Throughout the season Wilson was
a thorn in Lavender's side. Aside from
his three homers and three triples off
the spitballer, Wilson had sundry
singles, etc., among them the punky
base hits on June 20 that robbed Law
ender Of credit for a no-hit game. 1t
was a single to left fold that evaded
Jimmy Sheckard's grasp.

REFUSE TO MEET STRANGERS
Peculiar Method of Trading INDUCED
in by New Guinea Tribe Who
Keep to Themselves.

No European has ever been able to
meet in their own dwelling-place the
kukuhuhus, shy, yet ferocious tribe
of New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they have great fear
Of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do
bartering trade with them. They bring
salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc, and
deposit them in a certain indicated
place. They then retire for a few
hours, being notified to do so by
curious cry from the distance. The
mountain jewellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. II
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce, next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn, and when the way
seems clear the coast jewellers ap-
proach again. If the latter are salts
fed with what is offered in exchange,
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and go away; if not
satisfied they retire again as before
with empty hands.

RECOMMEND TARIFF CHANGE
Senate May Eliminate Ant-Dumping
Clause Held Discriminatory by
Committee.

Washington, June Inflammation
of the arti-dumping clause of the I'm
derwood tariff bill, which would exact
additional duties on imports sold in
this country at less than the foreign
market price was recommended by the
senate finance subcommittee in charge
of the administrative features of the
measure.
This clause, as it passed the house,
was not extended to articles on the
free list, and was objected to by the
senate leaders for this reason on the
ground that it was discriminatory. 1t
was first proposed that the provision
be amended to include the free list,
but this was finally abandoned as a
solution of the problem, many senators
concluding that the whole clause is i'm
practicable and that it would precipi.
tate retaliatory action on the part of
the foreign nations which would be
disadvantageous to the extension of
American trade in the markets of the
Warld.

RASH ON FACE FOR 2 YEARS

Sioux Falls, S. D.-"My trouble of
skin disease started merely as rash
on my face and neck, but it grew and

of course that irritated it very much.
This rash was on my face for about
two years, sometimes breaking out

Helped Them Die.

Suicide has often been regarded as
a luxury, and Marseilles, France, col
onized from Miletus in ancient days,
preserved a custom and prison for
many years under Roman rule. A
dose of hemlock and aconite was al
lowed to anyone who could show suffi-
cient reason why he should deserve
death. "This CUSTOM" says Valerius
Maximus, comes from Greece, parti-
cularly from the island of Coos. where

great quality, who, having lived very
happily ninety years, obtained leave
to die this way, lest by living longer
she should happen to see change of
her good fortune"

Washington, June IL. Absence
from Tuesdays session of the SUI
preme court of Justice Hughes, who is
understood to be preparing decisions
in most of the Missouri. Arkansas,
Oregon. Kentucky and West Virginia
railroad rate cases caused final action
in these cases to go over until the last
decision day, June 16.
Just before the court convened a ru-
NOR arose that dissenting opinion
in the Minnesota rate cases would be
announced. The court had adjourned
Monday Immediately after Justice
Hughes concluded announcing the
courts decision. None was forthcom-
ing. however.
Additional Light Expected.
Decision of the remaining rate cas-
es is awaited as likely to throw addi-
tional light on the methods of valu-
ing railroad property for rate max
ing purposes, a subject dealt with in
the Minnesota cases.
All the decisions are being awaited
anXiously by the interstate commerce
commission, which is launching forth
a task of making a physical valuation
of all the railroad property in the
United States.
On account of the widespread pub
lie interest in the Minnesota decision,
the senate has ordered the printing
of 10000 copies of public documents.
Lawyers who gathered at the SUI
preme court to listen to the applica-
ton of the principles laid down by
Justice Hughes in the Minnesota rate
cases to the rate cases from Missouri,
Arkansas, Kentucky, Oregon and
West Virginia were of opinion rate
making, 10th in the states and before
the federal government had been re-
duced to a much more accurate basis
than ever before.
Opinions as to Victory.
All sorts of opinions prevailed as
to where the victory rested in the
Minnesota decisions. Minnesota state
officials in dispatches expressed their
pleasure over the result and Attorney
General McReynolds and members Of
the Interstate Commerce commission
said they were fully satisfied. The
prospect of congress taking charge of
state rates affecting interstate COM
merce indirectly lent encouragement
to the railroads that they would es-
cape from regulation by 4S state COM
missions.

PICK UP BAUMGARDNER
Story Of How He Got on as St.
Louis Pitcher.
When First discovered Youngster
Looked to Be Too Young and
FraIi-Striklng Out konetchy
Twice Gave Him His Start.

The Browns have captured q real
phenomenon in George Baumgardner
1t has been years and years since a
youngster has come from the minors
to startle the populace at Sportsman's
Park, but it appears that the 21-year-
old youth from Huntington, W. Va,
has come to stay in the big arena.
Baumgardner's discovery was a pc
culiar one, and is detailed by Sid C.
Keener in the st. Louis Times. When
the Browns departed for their south
ern training trip year ago last
March, no one paid much attention
to George He looked to be too young,
somewhat too frail and entirely too
green" to receive consideration from
Manager Wallace.
During the practice games Baum
gardner was allowed to warm up,
while the other youngsters did the
shurling Finally one morning Wallace
was looking over his recruits and he
caught sight of Baum" hurting the
ball to Krichell with wonderful speed
and a curve that broke like a streak
Of lightning. Then Wallace began to
pay attention to this 21-year-old lad.
Finally the spring series between
the Browns and Cardinals was started,
and it was in the fifth game that
Baumgardner showed himself, but
merely as a try-out, and after the
Cards were in front, to 1. The feat
that won Baumgardner fame was
when he famed Ed Honey twice, ma
king the big fellow miss six consecu-
tive times. Striking out Honey made
Baumgardner.
Against the Detroit Tigers Baum
gardner made his second appearance
Of the season at Sportsman's Park,
and he had the smuggling stickers from
Michigan at his mercy. For nine
rounds they tried to see what the
youngster had, but for nine rounds
his speed and his curves fooled them
completely, and not one run was
scored off him.
In Baumgardner's other appearance
on the home lot he went to a 0-to-0

GOOD TIMES IN CANADA
BUSINESS PRosPERlNG, TRADE
INCREASING AND FINANCES
IN GOOD SHAPE.

The present Tightening up Of money
must not be looked upon as being in
any sense brought about by financial
stringency. 1t is really more period
of stock-taking resorted to by the
banks to ascertain the true condition
of the finances and trade of the coun-
try. Legitimate business enterprises
are not affected Throughout the
States there are those who II allowed
to continue borrowing, would iney-
itably be means towards precipi-
tating something a good deal worse
than they feel now. In Canada, the
conditions are excellent, and it is
safe to say business was never bet
ter. The pulse of trade is carefully
watched by the Finance Department
of the Dominion government, and it
is illuminative to read portions of the
address of Hon. w. T. White, the
Finance Minister, delivered few days
ago before the House of Commons.
Mr.. Whites remarks are In part as
follows:
1T falls agreeably to my lot to ex-
tend my most hearty congratulations
to the House and the country upon
the prosperous conditions which 1t
continues to be our good fortune to
enjoy. l am happy to announce that
the outcome of the last fiscal year,
which ended on March 81, will prove
even more satisfactory as rejecting
by far the highest pitch to which our
national prosperity has yet attained. /
have every expectation that when the
books are closed, it will be found that
the total revenue will have reached
the splendid total of $168,250,000, or
an increase over the year 1912 of
over $32,000,000. Some indication Of
the magnificent growth of the Domin-
ion may be cleaned from the fact that
this increase in revenue during the Pc
riod of one year almost equals the en-
tire revenue Of the country seventy
years ago.
"The augmentation of revenue to
which l have referred has not been
| irregular, spasmodic or intermittent
in it's nature, but has steadily charac-
| terized each month of the entire fiscal
year. 1t was Of course mainly derived
from Customs receipts, but the other
sources of revenue post Office
and railways-also gave US very sub
stantial increases"
That in a period Of great finan-
cial stringency not only have we not
been obliged to resort to the con-
gested markets Of the world, but have
been able to reduce so substantially
($23, 000,000) the debt of the Domin-
ion, must be a matter of qualification.
both to the House and to the people
of Canada.
II believe that during this period
of exceptional money stringency the
credit of the Dominion as reflected in
the quotations of it's securities has
maintained itself among the highest
In the world"
Owing to the favorable state of it's
finances Canada was in a position to
pay off a heavy loan in cash without
recourse to the issue of bills or Sc
curities.-Advertisem

fifteen-inning battle with the White
Sox with Jimmy Scott On the other
end. So in twenty-four innings the
opposition failed to gather a single
run off the Browns sensation at
home. Then he went after the White
Sox and beat them on their own dia-
mond, with about 10000 Chicago fans
watching him.
The best part about Baumgardner's
success is that he is just starting and
as he ages he is certain to improve.
He knows how to use his speed and
curves, but, of course, not quite in the
finished manner that he will after he
has been in the American league at
least a complete season.
Veteran Lou Criger believes George
will be a sensation. George wants
to groove 'em too often, and when he
learns the weaknesses of the opposing
batters and learns to work the corners
oftener than right in the middle of the
plate he will equal any of the great
pitchers" is the way Criger comments
on Baumgardner.
Baumgardner was picked up by
Scout Doyle. He was touring the
southern leagues and one day hap
pened to stop off at Huntington, w.
Va He saw the lad pitch and i'm
mediately wired Colonel Hedges to
put in draft for him.
With Huntington Baumgardner won
twenty-four games and lost nine, and
won the pennant for his club. He
pitched 277 innings and famed 292,
strike-out per round and better than
nine per game, which proves that
George had the batters missing the
third one quite often.

God sends the bug to chase them,
SO that the poor moujik shall not

That Is truo Glory be to Thee, o

The women discussed whether the
tide was coming in or going out. They
agreed that if the tide were still COM
ing in we should catch nothing but
"spittles," meaning thereby very little
fish or nothing at all. We all hoped
that the tide had turned.
Casting Nets on the Dwina.
By o'clock we reached the shore of
! a Dwina island, drew in on the sand
and prepared to tackle for our first
cast into the depths. The nets, fifty
yards long and ten feet wide, were
much entangled, and the stone weights
attached all along the bottom did not
make unraveling the easier. We spent
an hour extricating the stones and the
corks and repairing the big rents
through which, in their imagination,
the women already saw our finest fish
leaping. Attached to the four extreme
corners of the netting were long ropes
these were the pulling ropes. Ikra's
son and Laika took pair of these and
Ikra and the two women took the loose
ready netting on board and rowed out
upon the water, throwing out the
tackle as fast as we travelled, so that
there was long tail Of corks and rope
stretching behind us to the shore,
where the other two held their ends.
The women rowed, l helped to throw
out the nets
When we had reached a convenient
point we turned the boat and rowed
back to the shore, making the floating
line of corks and rope into a half
circle. Once on the shore we took out
our ends of the rope and pulled Young
Ikra and Laika also pulled; one of the
women went over to help them. The
nets were very heavy and yielded very
slowly to our tugging, SO heavy that
one might have thought that they in
closed all the fish of the sea. As a
matter of fact, it was the river that
resisted us and not the draft We
wound the ropes round our middles
and lay back and dragged like captains
of tug of war
Gradually, very 81 adually, we gained
the victory, and approached the other
party pulling toward US. We drew in
the first strands of netting and then
the second and third, our excitement
and expectation increasing as the half
circle narrowed in and decreased, and
we saw little fishes darling to and fro
in the shadowy water.
We watched; but, alas! what dis

appointment! We did not catch fish
larger than our middle fingers. They
were all "spittles," and we all agreed
that the tide had not turned yet.
1t was our lot to repeat this Iabo-
times before success attended our eff
forts. 1t was at the fourth cast that
our fortune suddenly changed.
AS usual we drew in the nets slowly
and heavily and approached one an
other, and then stood hopeful but
ready to be disappointed, watching
the finale. On this occasion we saw
big fish swimming about, trying to
escape the tolls, and one of the
men could not contain himself, but
rushed into the water and tried to Sc
cure one in advance; the consequence
was a sudden splash and jump and
lively pike had leaped out of the
trap back into the river. ooh, oh. a
three-pound, a four-pound fish, come
back, come back" we cried out. and
brought young Ikra back.
With one, two, three, we landed
the heavy sack of the net with it's COM
plement of mud and weeds and shells
and splashing, slithering fish.
A glorious sight presented itself

gether and half a dozen fair-size0 fish

had already cast the net six times and
were content with the result Two Of
| the party went off to look at the
bushes to see whether the wild black

of us sat round on the sand and ate
bread and fish. While sitting so, about

over the sand and stared at us curl

them, galloped off pellmell
The river was perfectly tranquil. the
yellow peach burned to crimson from
the low rays of the sun. The Dwina
villages slept, there was scarcely a
craft to be seen on the river, and we
seemed utterly alone in the world.
We began to feel cold and proposed
to go in search of the others, when
suddenly they appeared, declaring
there were no berries this year,
nothing at all. We had better keep
to fish; we should do nothing gather
ing fruit.
That meant that we set to work
again. When we had filled our bas-
kets we would light a bonfire. and
make tea and warm ourselves.
Fortune remained with us-God al

| moujik put it-and we did well. We
brought In much jack. many muddy fiat

of sunset still glowed in the north
and west The waters of the river
drowned crimson with purple, and the
sands were becoming brown again as
the dusk settled down. Soon it would
be dawn.

fishing and built brushwood bonfire
