NIcKNAMEs FOR BALL CLUBS
Some Have Stuck Long Time, While
Others Change Often
From the New York sun,

From the New York san.
Nicknames have been n part of pro-
fesnional baseball ever since the game
was put on an organized basis, and
Frank Chances notion to bestow the
name New Yorks on the local Ameri-
cans markes a departure. The mean-
ingless Yankees, sometimes used to
refer to the club, always was without
rhyme or reason and Highlanders does
not fit any more.
One of the Oldest pseudonyms is
Giants. which the New York Nationals
have carried since the 90s. The title
was bestowed at the time of their
size and has stuck. Nicknames spring.
ing from the color of the stockings
have been accepted readily by the roor-
ers. such as Reds for Cincinnati.
Browns for st. Louis, Cardinals for
the st, Lous Nationals. White Sox for
the Chicago Americans and Red Sos
for the Boston Americans
The Sox part of it originated In Chi
cago and was copied in Boston. 1t
makes a terse and satisfactory appella-
tion. There have been Browns in
st. Louis ever since the comiskey pe-
riod there. and brown is distinctively
suggested of st. Louis. The Clevelands
have been called the Blues, as we'll as
the Maps. and back in the Tebeau re-
gime they were known as the spiders.

cepted as Is the name Cubs for the
Chicago Nationals Before they were
Cubs the Cubs were Orphans, being
called that when Ansen left them.
Later they were the Colts.
There was a time when the Brook
lyns were known as Bridegrooms, thai
because of the frequency of trips to the
altar. They also have been known az
Superbas-Hanlon's Superbas-but the,
name they are best known by and the
most appropriate is the Trolley Dodg-

How the Army Fights Fires

FTOln Illt view 1OFh DuI.
Perhaps the low percentage or 1lres
in the army is directly due to the fact
that guard duty is never suspended.
In daylight and dark, during peace
or in time of war. armed sentries
walk their posts scattered everywhere
over the garrsons Failing asleep
while on guard is a serious offense.
Therefore the guards are always alert.
Never is sentry mounted on post
without a caution to look out for fires.
One of the first charges in guard $
general orders is one in which he Is
cautioned to keep a sharp Watcn TOT
fire. His first duty, in case build
ing is occupied by humanity, is to
warn the occupants. Next he turns
in a general alarm. And when fire
call is blown by the trumpeter at the
main guard house every male member
of the garrison, except the guard, is
compelled to hurry to the scene OF the
fire, no matter ,,ere he is, and no
matter how he is dressed.
1t is not necessary that man should
be in regulation uniform to respond 10
q fire call. Military fires do not wall
for antagonists in full dress parade
costume, any more than city fires
procrastinate while the members of
the department make careful toilets
In a week. sometimes oftener, IN
every military garrison large or small
throughout the country, and there are
several hundred at home and in our
possessions. a fire drill is held. Not
a soul save the commanding officer,
is advised of what hour of the day or
night or on what day of the week a
fire call will be blown. AS fires do
not give warning of their coming,
writes Monroe Woolley in Insurance
Engineering. it is obviously advantage
Gus that a fire drill should be as un-
certain.
When the fire call goes, either for
drill or for fight for life and prop
erty, the soldiers rush out of their
quarters, leave their posts in the COM
pany kitchens, and on the drill grounds,
picking up fire buckets and fire axes
as they go in the race for the fire Sta
ton. Some may be hatless, some coat
less and others shirtless. But 1t is an
honor to be among the first to take
hold of the fire equipment.
All the officers dash for the fire
house, too, and the highest ranking Of
ficer present assumes the duties of fire
chief run is made with chemical
engines and hand drawn hose carts
and hook and ladder trucks for build

When the equipment is out for a fire
drill the men take advantage OF the
occasion and play water on tho win

Uncle Sans Fur Farm

e. Y Wead in Farm and Fireside.
For some years Uncle Sam has been
working along the line of fur farming
and everybody knows of his success in
showing that the true karlIul, or So
called Persian lamp fur can be easily
and profitably raised, while his expert
ments in reindeer growing in Alaska
have altered life for the Eskimos and
done more to civilize this savage peo-
pie than has any other one agency
The government has long wished to
give the people further aid, but until
recent decision of. the treasury de-
partment rendered funds available it was
unable to do more than plan.
Uncle Sam is now about TO attempt
AN undertaking never before tried sci
entifcally in any part of the world, the
establishment of farm for the produc-
ton of fur bearing animals.
Private breeders have had consider
able success with foxes some even rear
ing animals which nearly always come
true, whether blue, black or silver.
The government will begin with the
mink and the marten. as they are fairly
prolific, and their skins are of consid-
erable value The farm is among the
mountains of Idaho, where streams are
many, waterfalls abundant and there is
plenty of room

The Little Man Dreamed of
an Empire of Love
and Peace
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

A FTER revolution, the reign of ter
"a ror! A week ago this morning,
4 Francisco I. Madero was shot to
President Huerta contends, was killed in
cidental to an attack by his friends bent
on rescue.
But so innocent of all evil doing had
been Madero, and so free his admins
tration of the affairs of Mexico from all
attempts to establish an oligarchy, that
the world will require strong argument
before it dismisses the idea that the late
ruler was foully assassinated.
Madero will be ever remembered as
the most tragic figure of the present tur-
bulent period in the history of Mexico.
That, in many respects, hs was a great
man, is generally admitted. That he
was actuated throughout his meteoric ca
reer by a regard for the common people,
is history. That he was good from
moral standpoint, Is established.
That which has been brought against
him was that he dreamed of the impos-
sible, of giving the common man voice
in the government of a country untitled
Tor seif-control, OF presluiiS ia the
strength of love and not by the force
of arms and assassination.
In Madero, incongruous and unassimil-
able elements were most peculiarly inter-
mingled. In planning, in striking, in per-
sistency in purpose, no man surpassed
him in strength. But after the dogs of
war had again been leashed, he per-
mitted his iron hand to rest. Instead of
putting to death his enemies as Porfirio
Diaz would have done, and as General
Huerta is alleged already to have done,
he sought to deal in peace and love with
those unknown to such elements of
statesmanship. His people who had fol-
lowed him on the field of blood, sighed
for the blood of their enemies. And
when their fondest wish brought disap-
pointment, they suddenly became rest
less. The fire of insurrection burned,
glowed with frightful heat in their
bosoms, and they struck-not their old
enemies, but the hero who had overfown
a self-perpetuating monarchy and striven
manfully to give his people freedom, lib
erty of speech and action, self-govern
ment.
Madero was comparatively a young
man, but in his few years. he hewed a
niche into the history of. his unhappy
country which will always endure. In
