Same old Maps.

It looks like the same old story with
the Cleveland Maps. in-and-out pitching
and games dropped on that account.
Every spring the Maps are headed for
first place. Once the race Is on. the
outfit is seen to be lacking in pitching
essentials Cleveland will never have

Grim's offer.

Clark Griffith's offer of the use of the
Climbers ball park to the amateur
players Of the District is strictly in ac-
cord with his plans for boosting sand
lot baseball whenever he gets an op-
portunity. Griffith is a firm believer in
the value Of sandlot baseball as a school
for the big leagues. His offer is most
generous.

FIGHT WITH TIMBER WOLVES
Boone County Farmer Has Exciting
 Experience
ExpeI nee

James Bailey, the Lead Hill farm- CT who fought five huge timb wolves with his feet carly this winter. was in Harrison last week attending court. He told again of his fierce fight with the animals. and says that no night passes n his neighboghood that he does not hear them bowling.
 4 great hunt is planned by Bail- ey and his neighbors and the fall ing of q snow is awaited by them in order that the wolves may be track ed with more certainty The ani- mals evidently have den near the Bailey home and he believes that they can be located without troub- le. The three thoroughbred English fox hounds that we're whipped and chased by the wolves do not hunt anywhere in the To ality, preferring to range on the hills opposite to those on which the wild animals are heard
 Bailey followed his hounds one day this winter when they found fresh trail and soon heard them in combat He believed they were fighting q coon until he drew near enough Co see what was going on. He found his hounds fleeing from the wolves. five in number, who did not discover Bailey at the edge Of the cleared field until they were al most upon him. Bailey sprang at the animals as his conquered dogs whined around him. and struck al them with brush hook which he was taking to neighbors to cut with. The implement was knocked from his hand and the point fasten- ed in the ground In this desperate condition the farmer flew into the band of wolves kicking right and left with his heavy work shoes un- til he routed them Now he wants to capture or kill them
 The appearance of timber wolves in this section this year is the first time in many years they have been known in numbers. It is be- lieyed that the hot weather of last summer, which dried up the small streams in the remote parts of the county, drove the animals into the more thickly settled parts near the larger streams.-Harrison Times.

IDLE GOSSIPING.

Wisconsin has an anti gossip law which
should adorn the statute books of every

fine ana imprisonment for peddling stories
about your neighbour, and particularly to
make remarks rejecting upon the good
name of his wife, mother or daughter

Can man or a woman be a Christian,
and circulate SANDER? Mark you, we use
the word sscirculate," not "originate.' 1t
has long been admitted by enlightened So
cietv that he or she who originates mis-
chievious. cruel SANDER, is more cowardly
than a COYOTE, more wicked than MUIR
derer, more contemplate than thief. But
how about the ones who help to circulate 1t?
Whether they know it or not, they are as
sassins of character.
People do not innocently circulate SLAM
der II it was about one OF your own family
would YOU repeat it? If not, then you are
either malicious or grossly careless, or
cruelty indifferent to the effect OF your
words, when you repeat it about another.
A small child or an idiot would repeat 1t as
soon about one person as another; and
that would be innocently done. But dis
eliminating person, who would silence their
tongue were the report about one they love,
cannot plead innocency when they unorldle
their tongue to every mean malicious gos-
sip that comes their way.
Idle gossipping ought to be an effense
against the criminal code. The idea of IN :
generating a chicken thief in Jail, and
permitting poisonous tongued slanderer
to roam the streets! All the devils lei
loose from the lowest whisky dive or opium
Joint in a month, can not make such havoc
among happy homes or so completely crush
hope out of human hearts, as can one
SANDER monger in single day.
A mans character or awoman's charac'
ter ought to stand as witnesses in theil
favor. And it does among those who value
character at its true worth, and who stoE

would be done by. But among larg'
