of his big draft horses had slipped
its bride. The horses started rum

he could not stop them, jumped
and fell against the Klarow"
building and was injured as stated.
The team turned south at the park
corner and headed for home, but
was stopped at the edge of town,
having done little damage to them
selves or the wagon. Mr.. Faust
was unable to continue his trip and
sent the wagon to Brookield, re-
turning home on the noon train.

All Easy Victory

The Laclede baseball team won
an easy victory over Wheeling in
the opening game of the season
Friday afternoon. Wheeling got
one hit and no runs in the first six
innings, and with the game safe
the locals eased up a bit in the last
three rounds and allowed the visit
ors to cross the plate six times.
Laclede batted well for the first of
the season and nearly everybody
got one or more hits, FIVE of their
eleven hits being for extra bases.
The teams lined up as follows:
Laclede Day 2b, Calhoun 3b,
Rowland SIS, Paul Jones 1b, Welsh
If, Knight c, L. l.. Jones and Neal
rf, Davis and Parigo cf, Max Jones
p. Wheeling-Deeming C, Littrell
Id, Norman If, Woodlief cf, Mad
den p, Glasgow %, Ralston 1b,
Butler IS, Thomas and Clay rf.
Following is the score by in
nings:
Laclede 80 3 o 4 81 l. Iii II 6
Wheeling --.- o 0 0 90 IA l-6 9
The showing made by the local
team in its initial contest indicates
that Laclede will have a team that
will win a majority of it's games
this season. Most of the errors
charged to both teams were caused
by the cold wind and muddy
grounds, and only a few of them
figured in the scoring. The boys
are hitting well and fielding well,
and are unusually strong in the
battery department, hence our
prediction.

Making Use Of ReIlalon.

1t may be believed that nearly all
men mean to give religion place In
their lives. Nothing, however, will
make life so miserable as our religion
in the wrong place. For it is one
thing to give it place, and another
thing to give it prominence. and yet
another to give it pre-eminence. I'm
til we give it first place We shall be
wondering at every turn what to do
with out religion. 1t will raise more
problems than 1t solves. We imagine
that to put it first would turn life
upside down. when the fact is that 1t
is upside down already. We supect
II would revolutionize our life, where
as our lives are already in kind of
chronic revolution. Our duties now
are continually clashing, but when we
set Gods will and kingdom first, doing
it day at time, our duties seem to
glide into place and we have our first
taste of the order and peace of which
the soul is capable.

have it shingled and singed and then
treated with crude oil, ending up with
an electric massage and few other

Morse, who has suit of hair like 9

If the bees are Italians, queens can
usually be found at least en- the third

A practical beekeeper will first pull
out the center frame, and look for
freshly layed eggs. Failing to find
these he will take out another frame
from another portion of the brood
