; DETROIT TIGERS
. LET MANY STARS
. GET OUT OF LAIR.

II is not always easy to distinguish
diamonds in the rough and the expert
ence of President Navin of the Tigers
in letting three crack hurlers out OF
his lair illustrates this fact.
First one was Clarence Jefferson
Tesreau. They took JEFF into the City
of Straits and kept him hurting the
globule for ten days. Jennings sought
out the SMOOTH faced owner of IN,
Tigers and whispered his song for JeG'
into the ears of the Bengaleer's boss.

kale.' said the Scranton Blackstone.
He's due for the minors the rest OF
his natural"
Next on the list was Hugh Bedient.
Get down on Bedient, and do ii
quick was the gist Of the little mis-
sive that snapped over the steel
threads of Navin.
Navin took the tip and also the
message to Robert Lincoln Lowe.
Mr.. Lowe it might be said was 4
scout for the Jungaleers. He jaunted
down 10 Providence and looked
Bedient over. His plance didn't APP
praise Hugnie at more than 3 cents
on the dollar, and he turned him down
as cold as the Arctic when the frost
is on the pumpkin there.
Now for the third one of the trio
who was kicked from the Bengalesc
bungalow. About two years ago when
John |. Taylor was making David Hl-
rum look like reactionary i'm the bar
ter and exchange line. he wanted 10
make a dicker with Jennings. Taylor
at that time was swapping anything
that looked like ballplayer on his
team. He was modest in his demands
He'd take anything from pawn tick

Taylor got "a swell young crouch
on Joseph Wood. He thought the Kan
sas cyclone wasn't even zephyr and
he wanted TO swap him for anything
that resembled "A twirler. lie lit on
Hughie of Detroit, and started To
make a trade. He wanted Kickapoo
Eddie Summers. and he was willing to
hand over Smoky Joe for the lad with

ALWAYS HAD CHANGE COMING
Escaped inmate Of Ohio Asylum Only
Had 20 Return to Secure He
Two Dollars.

The escape Of Harry Kendall Thaw
from Matteawan recalled the sensa,
tional escape of NcNicholas from the
county jail several months ago to .
reporter Of the Cleveland Leader.
There was no chop suey at Mat,
teawan, was there?" the reporter ask.
ed. So far % could be learned there
was none.
Solemnly motioning Ike, the waiter,
to bring another potation, he ex-
planned the mystery of his chop suey
remark.
when McNicholas escaped from
the county jail he was In the hospital
ward. A few minutes before he made
his getaway he asked me to get him
two plates Of chop suey. The oblig-
ing son of Manchu demanded de-.
posit Of two dollars. McNicholas was
rich, and ! paid the deposit.
when reached the Jail with the
steaming dishes l found that Nc
Nicholas had flown. And there were
two dishes of chop suey on my
hands.
Sheriff Smith waved me away.
tried to explain that there was money
due McNicholas from the Chinaman
Nothing doing; he was too busy try
Ing to apprehend McNicholas.

Importance of Trifles.

A proofreader, anent the impor-
lance of trifles, read from his note
book these absurd sentences Of sim
gle letter:
The conflict was dreadful and the
enemy was repulsed with great laugh
ter"
when the presidents wife entered
the humble sitting-roem of the house
she was politely offered hair"
"A man was yesterday arrested on
the charge of having eaten cabman
for demanding more than his fare"
"An employ in the service Of the
government was accused of having
stolen small OK from he mail The
stolen property was found in his vest
pocket"
"The Russian soldier, Knackinoffos-
kewsky, was found dead with a long
word sticking in his throat"

Bio Balloons to Have Wheels.

German manufacturers of dirigible
airships are seeking a landing ap-
paratus that will insure the safety of
their delicate gas bags. Many OF the
most serious accidents to Count Yep
pelin's craft in the past were due to
faulty landings.
A car of considerable length re-
quires the most righteousness in eff
fecting a landing, for an uneven sur
face is liable to warp the structure
of the gigantic balloon, causing it to
burst.
Landing cars are now being pro-
vided on which the huge gas bag
rests when it is drawn to earth.
These are equipped with wheels and
assist in locomotion when the craft
is being towed into it's hangar. 1t is
provided with series of cushions
along the side, and has graphing
arms that catch and hold the enve-
lope Of the balloon.

BOYS LIKE TO OWN THINGS
Give Your Son Possessions Thst He
May keep" and He Will Treas
ure Them.

The average boy believes firmly In
the principle OF the private ownership
of personal property. He would rather
be the sole possessor of a broken
handled knife with no blades than a
pearl handled, fourbladed affair in
partnership, asserts Thomas w. Lloyd
In the Mothers Magazine.
In fact, the desire to own something
to possess property-is inherent in
all mankind. And mothers should en-
deavor to foster this desire. It win
not only increase the boys happiness,
but will teach him the value Of acqui-
sition, within proper limits. He
should have his own playthings, his
own tools, his own books, his own
clothes, and place of his own in
which to keep them.
A boy who IL permitted to do this
viii take better care Of things than II
owned in partnership, and he will
learn eagerly to have place for his
things and to keep them in their
place. And this is a valuable lesson.
Do not make younger boy wear his
older brothers clothing which the
latter has outgrown, II 1t can be avoid
ed. OF course In some families,
where every cent counts, this cannot
be helped. Every boy. and we speak
from experience, hates to wear an
others clothes. He wants his own.
Give him his own bureau drawer
and at least q portion of closet, and
teach him habits of orderliness and
system In the care of his possessions.
These habits are easily learned when
young. and their value to the man Of
business IL incalculable.
