for the special purpose of answering

A railway station at night is a
scene of great animation, especially
when the train is in and the ticket

used for that purpose by people who
have not heard Of the last washout.

tend at least few games during the
season. President Wilson is base
ball fan. He is not too busy to de-
prive himself of the recreation offered
by the sport. Ex-President Taft was
an ardent fan, and yet he found time
to very efficiently govern these United
States. Some of the busiest men in
Ottumwa attend the ball games, but
they are in the minority. President
Nimocks wants all the business men
to start the 1913 season right, and he
maintains that the right way is to go
yourself and arrange to let all clerks
off except a few who are needed to
wait on any visiting shoppers who
might visit their stores.
The opening game on Wednesday
will be started at 1880, O clock.

that unless the business men will ar

is hopeless.

lost his hear and impulsively kissed
her. The girl thought 1t the part OF
prudence to tell her mother of the af.
fair, upon which the latter was simply
Mortified.

Peculiar Belief.

Two centuries have passed since
the Scottish Judge Lord Monboddo
was born. In his "Origin and Prog
ress of Language" he argued that hu-
man beings should be studied like
other animals; but this doctrine SEEM
ed to the contemporaries of DR.. john
son SO ridiculous that the wags based
many Jest upon it. His belief that
men got rid of their tails by sitting
upon them would now scarcely raise
a smile among anthropologists. Among
his more startling propositions was the
earnestly maintained one that the ou-
rang-outang was a class of the hu-
man species, and that its want of
speech was merely accidental"
