ty who has presided over the Thirty
fourth judicial district for 26 years has
announced that he will not be candidate

from the sixth district. however, indicate
that Judge Smith is seriously considerins
entering the fight for place on the SUI
preme bench next year, although the
Rocks county jurist has made no mention
of his future plans.
When Judge Smith leaves the bench in
January, 1915, he will have established a
record for long service on the bench in
kansas. He was first elected in 1882

of Stockton since 1879 and is one of the
most widely known district judges in Kan

crease in weight is almost wholly due
to lack of exercise. Degeneration and

Swimmers buy motorboats, pedestrians

Doctors declare the increase in fat
has been accompanied by heart mala-
dies, hardened arteries, blood pres

due to inactivity. American men and
women 40 years of age must exercise
in order to preserve the strength of
the nation.

MAY Be ELECTED
Episcopal House Of Deputies
Votes 10 Change System

New York, Oct. 10.-The house of
deputies at the triennial general con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
church voted overwhelmingly in favor
, of choosing the presiding bishop Of
the church by election.
At present this Office is held by the
senior bishop in order of confirmation.
To become effective this amendment
to the constitution requires passage
also by the house of bishops.
The amendment provides that the
presiding bishop shall be elected by
the house of bishops, subject to the
confirmation of the house of deputies.
The term of office and the salary are
to oe settled later.
During the debate it was pointed out
that under the present system there
was danger that the presiding bishop
might be too old and infrm for the
proper performance of the duties Of
the Office
The house of deputies received a
number Of merorials from various dio-
ceses. On behalf of the diocese of
California it was recommended that
the title of the prayer book be changed
by pusing the words Holy Catholic
Church."
The diocese of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia asked that a spe-
cial missionary district be created for
the negro people, with a bishop in
charge.

Rev. DR.. Alexander Mann, of Trinity
church, Boston, was elected president
of the house of deputies. The only
other candidate was Rev. DIR. William

elected secretary.

A terrible thought entered the young
mans brain. Could it be possible that
while he had been putting OF his pro-
posal some other man had come in and
occupied the vacant place ahead Of
him? His heart seemed to stop beat

He paced the floor till Mrs String

dry goods she looked dspleased. called
a maid and directed her in 8 sharp
tone to take them upstairs Then She
turned her attention to her visitor.
Barnard was too disconnected to talk
connectedly He jumped from the
warm weather to the news from
abroad and from the news from abroad
to the last bit of social gossip. Then
he asked IL Miss Stringfellow was en-
joying her. visit and was informed that
she was having delightful time. He
asked when the young lady would re
turn, and his hostess informed him
that certain events that had happened
since her departure would necessarily
alter the time of her Homecoming, but
did not say whether 1t, would be has
tened or delayed. al
Two or three times Barnard was on
the verge Of asking whether Amy Was
about to be married, but every time he
baked. Once he got his question part

him so coldly that he turned the ques-
ton into something else. Finally he
arose to go, stumbled against a chairs
back or against an open door, dropped
his hat and stepped on it, finally get
ting out in great confusion.
That night he slept only few hours
and in the morning took an early train
for the place where Amy Stringfellow
was visiting. She was much surpris-
ed at seeing him and waited for him to
declare the object Of his coming.

New York, Oct. 10.-The slugging
Athletics landed savagely on JEFF Tes-
reau's spitball delivery and banged out
an easy victory in the third game of
the worlds series at the Polo Grounds.
Score Athletics, g.; Giants, 2.
The Mackmen got the big twirler
right at the start, slamming out three
runs in the first inning and two in the
second, and when they mercilessly
hammered out two more in the sew
enth. "Doc'' Crandall relieved him.
Schang showed that all pitchers
look alike to the Athletic whalers by
ramming the ball into the right field
grand stand in the eighth inning for a
four Dagger. 3
Opposed to the big Giant twirler was
J. Leslie Bush, Connie Mack's strip
ling. Positively his first appearance in
any worlds series. The boy mounds
man pitched masterful game, much
to the surprise and chagrin of the
base ball scientists, who have figured
out that Mack hasn't got single re-
liable twirler besides Bender.
Bullet Joe" showed the thousands
of fans who jammed the big amphi-
theater that he has a nerve of steel,
as well as an arm of the same mater
ial. He was as cool as rathskeller.
He took his time in pitching, ignoring
the jeering shouts ofsthe crowd
Right at the start he faced unfiinch-
ingly a trying situation when, after
Herzog had grounded out in the first,
Doyle got lucky infield hit and
Fletcher went to first when pitched
ball grazed the letters on his shirt. Joe
Bush tigbtened his jaws and sent =
fast one over the plate, which Burns
hit to Collins for an easy double play
One of the Giants runs was due to
a bad throw by Schang to catch base
stealer, and of the five McGraw hits
two were of the infield variety. The
score card shows that he issued four
passes, but they were given after the
game had been cinched. sss
The Mackmen started of with blood

made after Tesreau had put over two
strikes on each of the batters. They
added two more runs in the next ses-
sion after two were out, with three
more hits and another stolen base.
After that the Mackmen entertained
the crowd by trying to make home
runs. Collins put two balls in the
stand, which were foul by only few
feet, and Schang similarly missed .
circuit clout when he slammed one OF
Tesreau's moist shoots Into the left
field section. ''Wally,' however, was
not to be denied SO easily, so he met
one of Crandall's slow balls in the
eighth inning and sent 1t into the right
field grand stand in fair ground.
In the seventh inning the Athletics
sounded Tesreau's death knell, when
Collins poled a triple to right, scoring
