CHANGED MIND ABOUT MULE

There Is lieutenant in an Ohio
regiment who believed that mules
were much maligned, and that If well
treated a mule would behave accord
ingly. IN his own company was a
mule with a bad reputation, and the
lieutenant undertook to tame him.
II will show you how this mule
should be treated" said the officer.
So he had the mule brought in front
of his tent. saddled him without re-
sistance or protest, and patted him
kindly on the neck.
HE needs kind but firm treatment"
said the lieutenant.
Then he mounted the mule. which

jump with each leg, and then projected
the lieutenant into the air and into a
thorny bush.
Catch the brute and kill him, y
said the lieutenant, as the hospital
corps assisted him &c his tent. The
men caught the mule, but did not kill
him. He was just as good as any other
mule.

The extension of bee culture as a
means of adding to the income has
been rapidly going on since 1t was
demonstrated that bees could be man
aged without discomfort to the opera
tor, and that a profit of SO per cent
and even more was easily procurable
Bee culture requires no outlay for
land upon which to raise crops, for as
yet there has been no plant discov-
cred that pays to plant for honey
alone.
She takes nothing from the fertility
of the soil, but gives to it one of the
greatest fertilizers known, the clovers
which would become extinct if it were
not for her agency in fertilizing the
bloom. No land is required except a
spot On which to place the hives.
1t is easy to handle bees when you
know how. Undoubtedly bee-keeper
often gets stung; 1t would be useless
to deny it and it Is scarcely consoling
to novice to tell him he will get used
to being stung; but after time a
beekeeper really does become inocu-
lated after which, although the mo-
mentary pain may be sharp, there are
no disagreeable after effects, such as
swelling, etc.
The fear of stings think prevents
many from liking the work and yet,
when properly protected with a bee
veil and working only in the warm
part of the day and never when
cloudy, rainy or cold, and with the use
of good smoker, one need rarely be
stung
Avoid quick motions, do not breathe
upon them and if there are other bees
flying about in search of plumber do
not leave the hive open too long
In case of accidents the smoker
should be- used freely and it ought to
be at hand for any manipulation in
the apiary. 1t is much easier to pre-.
vent the anger Of bees than 10 stop 1t
after it has begun. If you mismanage
a colony of bees and rouse their anger
1t is quite likely that this disposition
will remain with them for a few days
bee away from home, or laden
with honey, never volunteers an at
tack. This is so well known and so
established by apiarists that if were
not writing mainly for beginners /
would not think of mentioning It.
Thus in order to render bees harm
less 1t is only necessary to cause them
to fill themselves with honey, and this

DANBORY HIGH PLAYS
 B. H. s. HERE TOMORROW

Tomorrow at Newfie1d Park the will open the season at home with the team from the Danbury High as their opponents. The kick-off will be at 3 o'clock and Joe Waters will referee. The B. H. s. team has been practicing will enter the game with the inten- tion of coming out on the large end of the score Coach Flanagan will send in the same lineup as used against Waterbury with one or two exceptions. Bunny Davis, who has been putin g up a stellar game at right half, has been forced to quit the game upon the advice of his physician. The line will probably be strengthened by the addition of Wakeman, husky six footer.
 The Danbury boys have been clean ing up the gridiron with the teams they have clashed with so far Last year they were champions of their section of Connecticut and New York. The team is practically the same as last years, only one or two being lost by graduation and they expect to go through this season without once tast- ing defeat But B. H. s. has gotten over it's stage fright and promises to come out of the fray with the Dam bury scalp hanging from their belts.
 According to the latest report re- ceived by Manager Denny the Hat ting Town team will be accompanied by a large crowd Of rooters who will do all they can to help their team come out victorious.

BROOKLYN BEATS UP WALTER JOHNSON

 Hartford, Conn. Oct. Look out kor another holiday at Ebbets Field next seasons This date will go down hn Charles Holiday Ebbetts' list of mo- u7entous events as the day upon Whicn dhe Dodgers triumphed over the only FWaIter Johnson. In an exhibition game here yesterday afternoon, the Brooklyn team defeated Washington by to 1, and that in face of the fact that the great Walter was on the ground for the Sena tors in the first nve innings, in which the Dodgers did all the damage.
 The Dodgers landed on Johnson for live hits-one for each inning. The Brooklyn rockies did not seem to have any too much respect for the Ameri- Ican League star, and rapped him rath- ser hard. In the sixth round the vet eran Tom Hughes took the mound and kheu the contest developed into a, farce. 2 The players hit at anything that came over the pan,~ and kept consult dnz their watches in their anxiety to get back to New York in time for a good dinner.

ALLOW PLAYERS
 TO WRITE SERIES
But National Commission Rules That Practice Ends This
 Year.

The ballplayers, those poor fellow who must work a few long hours a day for six months for measly salaries some bank presidents would be thank ful for, won a temporary victory over the august National Commission yes terday, when the Supreme Court of baseball decided that ball players could write up'' the present worlds series for the newspapers The com missions decision amounted to such, though officially only those players who had entered into a, contract with a newspaper prior to September 27. when the commissions edict against player-authors was issued, will be eligible to bat out Worlds Series stories.
 Inasmuch as the general public cannot be bamboozIed into thinking that the majority of the newspaper articles over which the name of a star player appears are written or even dictated by such players, 1t doesn't make much difference anyway.
 Hermann announced the matter of players writing articles for neWspa- pers and other publications had been taken up and fully discussed and that it had been decided that no ac- ton would be taken against the play CT writer who entered into a contract prior to the issuing of the commis- sion's bulletin. Those players who did not enter into contract prior to that date will be liable to such action as the commission may take.
 Chairman Hermann declared the commission was adverse to players writing articles relative to baseball during the regular league seasons and the Worlds Series time, and that here after professional ball players will be prohibited from writing such articles during said times. As far as the pres ent Worlds Series went, the entering into contract prior to the commission prohibiting such action forbade any penalty being imposed by the commis- sion.

The annual meeting of the Eastern Association will be held at Hotel Garde, Hartford. two weeks from to- day October 21), unless a postpone ment Is asked by some of the direc- tors. The session promises to be in- teresting.
 There are hints of a contest over the presidency, although that may pc ter out as it did year back. There are also some other matters likely to be considered, including the reloca- ton of Joe Whalen's Meriden team. It is known that several towns are anxious to come into the fold.
 Among the places mentioned are North Adams, in Massachusetts; Northampton, in the same state; and New Britain, Danbury and Stamford in Connecticut. Some, of the knowing ones say that North Adams is to come forward with as strong a bid as Pitts Held did The whole circuit knows what a godsend Pittsheld was to the league last year. Indeed, Rittsfeld and New London both more than held their own. It pays to get in new blood once in a while.

Philadelphia, Oct. 7.-The University of Pennsylvania football team suffered a loss yesterday when it was announce ed that Harry Wilson, veteran tackle on the Red and Blue eleven last year, would not come out for the team this season. Wilson is a, senior in the medical school, and, despite the ap- peaIs of Capt. Young and Head Coach Brooke, he has decided not to go in for athletics this fall, but devote all his time to his studies.
 The Q11akers may also lose Avery, half back in the Varsity eleven, as a result of an injury to his shoulder, re- ceived in Saturdays game with La fayette. Dr. Hancock, trainer of the team, believing Avery to have a brok- en oollsrhones had an X-ray photo

and Cornish got the quarter back berth.
 Thompson, who has been played at half back, went back to quarter back on the scrubs, the position he filled for the freshmen last season. Tom ShevIin's plays were used as a var.ety instead of the standard attack, and HeRelfnger arrived here from Mime apolis to take up instructions for them where Shevlin left off. Henry Hobbs, the Amherst coach, were the other new arrivals.
 The coaches ordered thirty minutes scrimmaging, a complete, surprise, as the Monday programme is invariably light. Wiser, who was sent to the scrubs, reeled over a sixty-yard run, scoring q touchdown on the Varsity. while Cornell skinned through tackle for the only score made by the regu- lars.

 The Maps got three hits in the first inning, but a pretty throw by Dolau caught Jackson at the plate. Adams kept Cleveland's hits scattered tEza until the sixth, when Jackson's sfrfras and Lajoie's long double scored ea8 first run.
 In the seventh Cleveland scored two more on Olson's single, Dolan's wild throw of Graney's grounder and Wag- ner's wild throw to the plate on FaIk- enberg's infield hit.
