The
Scrap Book
The Run Came In.

Joe Sugden claims that he Is the
only living rival to John Anderson
who made baseball history by stealing
second with the bases full
Joe let a tying run step across the
plate while he held the ball in his
hand and refused to touch the runner.
There were men on second and third,
one man out, the score to one day
at New Orleans, when Charleston was
playing there, back in 1893. The game
was stopped for some reason, and the
coacher at first sat on the sack during
the delay. Joe looked over the tnfield
and saw three men on bases.
The first ball pitched when the game
was again started was hit to the third
baseman, who threw home in worlds
Of time to get the man trying to score.
Joe thought the man was forced out
and yelled at Denny Long, the first
baseman, to get on the sack to COM
plete a double play. while Long yelled
at Joe to touch his man.
The runner stepped nimbly on the
plate while Joe swore at the first base
man.
They revived Joe with cold water
after he had discovered what he had
done.

"Shiftjno oands.S


Scoop had been assigned to cover the
lecture of q noted French orator. The
hall In which the lecture was delivered
was very warm and comfortable, and
Scoop went to sleep. At the close OF
the lecture he woke up with a start,
and as he pulled himself together bis
hazy mind caught the words shifting
sands" That was Sufficient for Scoop.
Arriving at the Office. he straightway
proceeded to the dope room.' where
he spent a good half hour reading
about shifting sands.
When the French orator opened the
paper next morning he found himself
credited with having given a long talk
on shifting sands the night before.
Jamming the paper into his pocket, the
Frenchman went with !ong strides to
the editor and demanded an explana-
ton for the story.
"What Is the matter" asked the edi-
tor. Doesn't the article cover the
subject fully"
"Cover re subject, indeedv' replied
the Frenchman. "I said nothing about
re shifting sands, except dat zay would
be ze subject on which I lecture next
week!-Judge.

A TORRENT OF GERMS.
Lst Loose In the Open Air, ThsS
Would Be Practically Harmless.

Lst Loose In the Open Air, ThsS
Would Be Practically Harmless.
Suppose a madman obtained pos
session of the many millions of dis
ease germs stored away in the cul-
ture tubes in the numerous bacteri-
ologists' laboratories in New York
city and cast them loose in the
streets or, because of an explosions
the same deadly germs were sent
sdrift. What would happen?
This question was put to the dit
rector of the research laboratory oil
the health department, after severalk
persons had had it put up to them, |
each in his own way advancing what
would probably and possibly hap-l
pen. /
Some of these persons fguredt
that the air would become poison
ed; that men, women, children andE
even animals would be stricken witbE
the tiny microbes, and that in anE
incredibly short time the streets
would be filled with pale and hag- |
gard citizens, dying by thousands. I
Quarantine and health depart
ments would become helpless or use
less, they say. Business would comeI
to a standstil, and in what hadE
been community Of healthy, activeI
citizens there would be- windrowsE
of corpses, from which a pestilenceE
the Ike of which history has never
known would spread everywhere.
That there is not the slightest
likelihood this ever could happen isl
the opinion of the bacteriologist'E
who, commenting upon this imagln-t
ed condition, says:
@What would happen if a bottlet
filled with disease germs were bro
ken or were scattered from a build
ing? Why, nothing SO far as the|
citizens were concerned. Whether
scattered from a building or drop-t
ped in the street, the result would
be the same. The entire outfit OIL
germs would die in the course OF
half an hour. The sunlight would
kill them, or, if there were no sun
shining, then the air would accom-,
plish the same result, although not
in the same time.
"The chance Of any one being in
fected by the germs would be about
one to a thousand. In the first
place, one must consider that these
50 called terrible germs are abso-
lutely harmless unless they enter
the system through the mouth and
in that fashion get into the blood.
One might cover himself from hand
to foot with the little things, but 30
long as they did not get into the
blood there would be no danger OF
contracting any disease.
"Of course if some maniac man
aged to get hold of great quantity
Of typhoid or diphtheria germs and
spilled them into the reservoir the
probabilities are that great
amount of harm would result, but
taking matters on the whole I don't
think the public need lie awake
nights in dread of a y, horrible and
ali enveloping cloud of unfettered
germs." York Press.

A Scots Tune One Scot Didn't Like.
A new admirai-a Macdonald-had
succeeded Admiral Campbell In the
command of a British squadron. The
band had been in the habit Of playing
"The Campbells Are Coming" when
their former admiral had q dinner
party, and they did so in honor OF
Macdonald
The first time the chief Of the Mac
donalds heard It (tells Admiral Ff1.
gerald in Memories Of the Sea'D he
was very angry and sent for me-the
captain being on shore-and the fol-
lowing dialogue took place:
What do they mean by playing
The Campbells Are ComingT"
1T has been customary to play II,
sir, asa compliment to Admiral Camp
bell. and. being a Scotch air, no doubt
the bandmaster thought it would be
agreeable to you"
Agreeable to me! Don't you know
the next line Of the song. The Camp
bells are coming. the Macdonalds are
runningT Never let me hear that tune
again"
And the bandmaster was ordered TO
teach the band 'The Garb OF Old
Gaul' instead.
