Missed the Bird and Lost.

+ The Glasgow News records a singh
lar incident during lawn tennis tie.
The two players, who may he ternl-
ed A and b, were very evenly match
ed. The game was long. and some
times one and sometimes the other
narrowly led. At length when A was
within a stroke of defeat he returned
a ball softly. and 1t looked as If his
fate was sealed. So it would hat e
been, but just at that moment bird

with the ball.
AS all good tennis players can we'll
understand, b mistOok the bird for
the ball and smashed" at 1t vigorous
ly.' 1t swiftly rose and he missed it
by a feathers breadth, and ere he
could recover his balance the ball had
dropped on his court.
This stroke proved the turning point
in the tie. as A thereafter played up
strongly and ran out winner.

Simple Trick by Which the Woodsmen
Escaped Singing.

Simple Trick by Which the Woodsmen
Escaped Singing.
A man on his first trip into the wilds
and marshes of an unknown country
with the United States drainage engi-
neers was struck by a unique method
they have to escape from the attack
Of wasps and hornets. The country
trayersed is generally covered with
thick underground. and a path has TO
be cut through this all along the line.
So when a big wasp nest is reached
there is very little warning, some
times the axmen cutting into a big one
with their macheteS.
The person relating this experience
was some sixty feet behind the ak
men with the instrument when all
at once the two aImen dropped in
their tracks as if they had been struck
by a thunderbolt. The man behind
and the two chainmen did likewise.
While they were lying prone on the
grass and wet marsh they heard what
sounded like bullets zooing over their
heads One after the other they came
with angry Zips. When things had
quieted down a bit work was cen
TIMED, and the new. man found that
to escape from wasps or hornets the
thing to do was to drop instanter.
The insects seem TO be so mad that
they fly i'm straight lines along Il
level and do not have time TO hunt
around for you.
1t is said that hornets are not SO
prone to follow this rule as wasps.
but the wasps never vary. Men have
been stung to death by hornets, and

EAMING A. TOWN.
Concord Was Selected After Fifty
Years of Controversy

The name of Concord. y. H.. was
given TO the town after controversy
which lasted fifty years. In 1725 the
land now within its bounds was grant
ed to the coionists under the name of
Peacock by the colony OF Massaehu-
betts: This claim was disputed by the
colony Of New Hampshire. which two
years later granted this same land to
the township of Bow. 1888 Massachu-
sets Incorporated Peacock into a
township named Rumford, and for
more than forty years a fierce legal
controversy was carried on. No agree
ment could be reached, and the mat
ter was taken 70 the authorities In
England. but even then there was lao
satisfactory nor permanent settlement
In the face Of an evident leaning
toward the claims Of Bow, both in
England and in America, the little
band of colonists in Rumford fought
on valiantly. and in 1865 an act of
incorporation was granted to the in
habitaRts of Rumford. This was still
highly unsatisfactory because it only
made them a parish in the town OF
Bow.
The controversy continued until 1774,
when it was finally settled and an
independent town was formed under
the name of Concord. 1t was due to
the devotion of the little band Of
settlers to their cause and the unity
which existed among them that the
independent incorporation of the town
was finally obtained, and it was emf
nently fitting that the concord which
existed between them during the strng-
gle Of nearly fifty years should be
memorialized in their towns name

The first public notice of the Father

Dutch Mercury on Aug. IA. i19S-
Gall was a practicing physician OF
Vienna, and early in lis career he be
came a fra believer in the idea that
the talents and disposition OF lien are
dependent upon the functions Of the
brain and, furthermore that they may
be inferred with perfect exactiyude
and precision from the external ap-
pearanees of the skull.
Gall was an able raan. He set forth
his theory in q graphic, unctuous man
ner, and in a very brief period he had
all Europe at the top notch of excite
merit. The idea spread like wildfire,
and in ali grades Of society people
were discussing the greatest of all
discoveries" The new theory had to
meet the customary opposition from
the custodians of truth and the pre-
servers of morality, but the opposition
only Increased the popularity Of the
theory, and Calls celebrity increased
by leaps and bounds. His lectures
We're interdicted, and he was threaten

propaganda, visiting all the large towns

New Plan Proposed; VIII C,

on Eastern Trip.

Within the next two months plan
will be evolved to include all of the
principal commercial organizations in
the city in the Commercial club. These
organizations will not be asked to
merge their identity with the CONNER.
cial club, but will continue as at pres.
ent. However, they will be asked to
affiliate with the Commercial club in
the interest of a greater Salt Lake
and greater Utah. Arrangements
will be made TO have the head of each
affiliated organization member ex-
oficio of the board of governors of

At a meeting of the board of gov
ernors yesterday this plan Of atlilia
tion was brought up by the committee

the president appoint committee of
five to seek the afiiliatop of the com
mercia1 bodies of the city, such as
the Passenger association, the Hotel
Men s association, the Manufacturers
association and like organizations.
Later this plan was reconsidered and
the committee decided to await the
return Of Secretary Will G.. Farrell
from his eastern trip. MIR. Farrell
will make it his special business to
consult With other Commercial club
officers on his eastern tour regarding
their methods of securing the co-opera-
tion. Of trade, industrial and civic
organizations in their respective COM
mupities.
Mr. Farrell will leave Salt Lake
about September 10, going direct to
Atlantic City, where he will attend
the national convention Of the Life
Underwriters. This meeting will be
held ON September l6, II and IS.
Secretary Farrell will then hurry
to Omaha, where "a meeting Of the Cen
tral Association of Commercial Secre-
taries will be held ou September 90.
The secretaries of all the commercial
clubs aud similar organizations from
the Rockies to the Alleghauies will be
in attendance. Here Mr. Farrell hopes
to secure some valuable ideas for use
in the reorgani cation scheme of the
local club,
From Omaha the secretaries will 20
in q body to st. Paul, where they will
attend n meeting Of the American AS
sociation Of Commercial Executives
Mr.. Farrell will also go to this con-
vention, It will be held Immediately
after the Omaha meeting When Mr..
Farrell returns to Salt Lake he hopes
to have collected some valuable in
formation for use in furthering the
welfare of the local organization.
