GOINCIDENTAL COUPLES
Town Clerk Makes Unusual Discovery
 While Tabulating Records.

When Town Clerk Thomas was go- Ing over the stubs in his marriage i- cer1se book this morning he discovered the remarkable coincidence that he had issued marriage licences to two couples with the same names, just four days apart.
 Both prospective grooms bore the name of John Kominsky and both brides answered to the name of Anna Pa1oosky One groom was born in Austria, the other in Germany, but both prospective brides were born in Germany.
 The first license was received on July 7a by J oh p Fzop11j hsky, aged 21, a factory hand, who was born in Ger many. He wanted a license to wed Anna Palloosky, aged 21, also fac tory hand, but born in Austria
 On July Il, John Kominsky aged 30, asked for a license to marry Anna PalIoosky, aged S7. Both were born in Austria.
 Tn looking over the books Town D1ers< Thomas discovered the similar Ity in names and he thought at once that through some error the same par ties had taken ont two licenses and been charged double fees. Each license had been issued by a different clerk.
 An investigation disclosed the re- markab1e coincidence. Both couples are married now and living happily at present.

quietly and composedly and not lifting his voice above high c, or 2 at the very most. Suddenly a look of agony was seen to overSpread his counte- nance, while his right hand tWitched spasm odical1y. Sherwood tried to con tro1 that hand-tried herofcally and with every ounce of will power at his command-but in spite of all he could do the hand doubled up until it as- stunned the shape and contour of a fist Then the fist escaped from Sher- woods control, and shot right out and hit the-oh, horror of horrors!-and hit the umpire on the snockda oseIenlI Now, I ask you in all seriousness, was that Magee's fault? Could he, by any stretch of the imagination, by any perversion of justice, be adjudged guilty just because his arm had spasm? Could he? All fair-minded boobs must answer in the negative. Yet, just for that, Magee was suspend ed, and the Phillies were thrown out of their winning stride. In due time he was restored, but the injustice of it all still ranked in his buzzum, his spirit was broken, and he was never the same again, as may be proved by looking over his batting averages.
 Thus is told, for the first time, the true inside story of this historical event. Truth Is mighty and will pre- vail, and justice, although long delay ed will oVertake all who were respon- sibIe for Magee's undoing. The gypsy's curse is upon them, and not man concerned in that deep and dark con spiracy will live to be over a hundred and fifty.

THE SUMMER COTTAGE.

Formerly it was supposed, if you spoke of your summer home, that you were fruit for an income tax. With the common use of the word shack l a different kind of vacationing came 1 in. The summer home need not be a
 thing of servants and bath rooms and costly furniture. Many people ar range it on basis where it is much l cheaper than boarding at even an in expensive resort.
 Sooner or later most people weary of the artificial atmosphere of sum mer hotel. They have tested the arid 1ties of it's conversation. They have danced to all the new dances, and heard the rise and fall of successive eras of ragtirne. A longing for the simple life begins to come over them. where the children don't have to be dressed up as for church three times a day.
 The real essentials of comfort are good beds and good food. With a few hundred dollars these can be assured, up to the point where the cook deter mines the fate of your housekeeping.
 Formerly the summer house was usually thought of as connected with some exclusive colony, having stables full of horses or motors, shaven lawns carefully tended shrubbery. Now peo- pie go out into the nearest woodland or waterside and build little haven of rest from labor, noise, dust, and the steamy air of towns. Its walls may consist merely of matched boards nailed over a. framework, minus in side finish, carpets, rugs, or plumbing.
 But the air is just as tonic, the woods are just as green, the sun dan ces as merrily on the water, the hu- man companionship may have just as much charm, as if they paid thousands

MAGEE, FORMER STAR sITCKER
 OF NATIONAL LEAGUE, 29 TODAY

Sherwood R. Magee. once-but that was long ago-the Ty Cobb of the National League, was born in C1aren- don, Pa, twenty mine years ago today. Although not, strictly speaking, an injun, Magee used to play with Car lisle, Pa, and the poor Los dubbed him Big Buck what Biffs Empires. That tendency stuck to him through the years, and was responsible for his fall from high estate as the stick star of the old circuit
 It was in 1910, his seventh season with Philadelphia that Magee became known the swatting terror of the Quaker City. He completed that sea- son with batting average of .331, leading the league. The next season he started out like a house afire, and the Phi11ies looked like pennant win ners, when bad luck overlook Magee, and he spilled all the beans. It was like this, as recorded by veracious on- lockers:
