it is well to take along an overcoat
on a chance.
The Athletics herded Brown in by
draft in the fall of 1911, and he did not
set ANYTHING around the league on
fire with his work last season. But ne
has done a lot for Connie Mack this
year, having practically taken John
Coombs turn in the box since the eX-
iron man has been laid up.
Brown is popular with the Athletics
in spite of the fact that the other
players kid him about the boardwalk
and the fact that he was once a bicycle
racer. They cannot kid him much
anyway, because he is one of the loud
est takers on the club.-COpyright

PLAYED ON MEMS cUPlDITY
Polish Jews Had Really Feat Fraudu'
lent Scheme Which They En-
pIoyed for Years.

There was q certain engaging mover
ty in the swindle practiced success
fully for many years by four Pollsn
Jews. who have recently been caugnt
by the Partisan police. They worked
on the cupidity of their victims y
view of the desire that most people
cherish of getting something for notn'
ing. ~.
The four swindlers first marked
their. man with care. They then ap.
preached him with the alluring sugges'
ton that he should join them In the
manufacture of banknotes by an cleo
trical process of their own Invention.
The thing was simplicity ITSELF All
one had to do was to place two two
pound notes.-the dupe's, of course-in
a. square box, and sheet OF blank
paper between. them. After suitable
interval for Observation-Disclosures
hours as rule-the box was solemnly
opened in the presence OF the dupe,
and "Hey, presto!" there were not
two, but three banknotes.
TO the dupe, or course, II appeared
a royal road to riches and he was cas-
lily induced to contribute couple OF
40-pound banknotes to his benefactors
SO as to have them subjected to the
same clandestine process. Needless to
say he saw neither notes nor box nor
Poles again. The whole trick was
worked by a false bottom and clever
sleight of hand. Sooner or later It
was bound to happen. The four swind-
lers. made a little mistake in physiog-
nomy or psychology, and fell upon a
man who was both shrewd and honest,
with the result that they are now in
the hands of the police.
Questioned by M Guichard, they at
first pretended to be entirely ignorant
OF French. The magistrate had to re-
sort to a Machiavellian strategem.
Having discovered two banknotes at
the bottom Of the magic box, he turn
ed suddenly to the prisoners and de-
manded, ITO whom do these belong?"
They're mine, sir" replied the quar-
tette with one voice and In excellent
French.

Wicked ImaqInation.

Proverbs says one of the six things
that Is an abomination to the Lord Is
"a heart that deviseth wicked magma
tions." It Is also an abomination to
everybody. And there is much of 1t
going on. Some people seem to enjoy
the fancy that certain person is liv-
ing mean and deceitful life. No fact
back of it; nothing but a dislike or
low suspicion. When a person can
harbor such imaginings he himself is
guilt1er than the one he suspects.
When a mans heart gets to breed
ing suspicious, all noble emotions are
excluded. 1t would be ten times bet
ter that he thought well Of man, even
If he were mistaken than to think i'll
OF him, even If he were not. These
wicked imaginations are mean things
to have in mans heart, even If there
Is some warrant for them, for they
spoil the tenderest and sweetest senti-
ments. No, no; man wants a clean,
open heart all the time; he wants the
sunlit breeZes to blow through and
freshen it up and kill off the wild and
poisonous vermin that get in there.
That is the better life. We don't
want men coming to us with their
hearts full of venom and squirting it
into our face.-Ohio State Journal.

Rank Shown by Cheese.

The English, the Germans and the
Norwegians are great consumers OF
cheese, but the people of Switzerland
surpass them all.
The cheese of Zermatt is so hard
that one is Obliged to scrape it or cut
off chunks with Ratchet, and It's use
lis considered most important on al
|ceremonious occasions.
The rank of Swiss family is known
by the age of its cheese, and the
more affection or respect a guest IN
spires the harder is the cheese which
IS cut in his honor.
It is said that there are families u
Switzerland whose cheeses date from
The first French Revolution and these
are served only at baptisms, weddings
and after funerals.
Upon the birth of new heir z
cheese is made that takes the name
given him or her, and that particular
cheese is never in any circumstances
