Cuban onfielder Reports to Hill Mon.
day Morning Ready for Work
After Scare in Omaha.

CEDAR RAPIDS, April 8.-All hon
or to Senior Eddie Canou, the Cuban.
He was the first one Of Belden Hills
baseball recruits to report today.
Senior Canou attained this honor in
spite OF the fact that he was practic-
ally wiped out of all his earthly pos
sessions by the Omaha tornado.
George Hollom, who as clerk in Bel
den Hills store for the past fourteen
years has seen the phenoms float in,
was on the job early this morning,
locking for timid individuals who have
the earmarks of ball players. About
IS O'Clock, George spied dusky, long
haired and travel fatigued individual,
dragging suitcase and gaping at the
signs on the stores. There is the first
phenom,' yelled George. Belden
smiled
A half hour later, Senior Canon
walked in and inquired for Mr.. Hill.
So far Senior Canou has been the
NEST interesting of the Cedar Rapids
recruits. He attracted all kinds of at
tention to himself by writing Hill let
ters to the effect that he has no doubts
about making the team. "I'll be there
with bells on from the start and at the
end of the season." he wrote. Also he
has been crazy to report, and Belden
has had great time stalling him off.
Canou had disastrous and at the
same time happy experience in the
Omaha tornado. On that memorable
Sunday evening he was eating supper
in a boarding house at Blonde and
Twenty-seventh street in Omaha when
the proprietor looked out of the win
ldow, yelled, tornado and rushed to

This brings the total number OF men

Manush is not worrying over the
non-appearance of the men, though,
for the weather is such that nothing
can be done and it will probably be
Thursday before the men can begin
to loosen up the muscles. The first

arms and legs.

Monthly the problem is to provide

time sufficient warmth for the babies,
and this has been solved by a simple
but effective form of crib warmer.

the baby lies are covered with ashes.

heater or foot warmer, with cable
couplings and switch which allows the
current to be regulated. In a warm
air chamber between the bassinet and

Of an Old olsused Southern
Landmark.

yes, suh-here we are at that old
time PLACED" And our dark driver
drew up his little victoria gently,
writes John Galsworthy in Scribner's.
Through the open doorway, into a
dim cavern Of ruined house, We passed.
The mildew and dirt, the dark, de-
nuded darkness of that old hostel,
rotting down with damp and timel
And our guide, the tall, thin, gray
haired dame, who came forward with
such native ease, and moved before
us, touching this fungused wall, that
rusting stairway and telling, as it
were, no one, in her soft, slow
speech, things that any one could see
what strange and fitting figure.
Before the smell Of the deserted,
oozing rooms, before that old creature
leading us on and on, negligent Of all
our questions and talking to the air,
as though We were not, we felt such
discomfort that we soon made to go
out again INTO such freshness as there
was on that day of dismal heat. Then
realizing, 1t seemed, that she was los.
ing us, our guide turned; for the first
time looking in our faces, she smiled,
and said In her sweet. weak goice,
like the sound from the strings of a
spinnet long unplayed on: Don you
wahnd to see the dome room, an all
the other rooms right here, OF this
old placer"
Again those wordsl We had moi
the hearts to disappoint her. And as
we followed on and on, along the
moldering corridors and rooms where
the black peeling papers hung like
stalactites, the dominance of oul
senses gradually dropped from us, ant
with our souls we saw it's soul--tht
soul of this old time place; this mus
tering house of the old south, beref
Of all but ghosts, and the gray pigeons
niched in the rotting gallery round {
narrow courtyard open to the sky.
