MORE TESTIMONY IN
WESTERN FUEL CASE
Caustic Criticism Is Made by
Stanley Moore, Attorney
for Defense.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-The
trial Of directors and employees of the
Western Fuel company on charges OF
conspiracy TO detraud the government
was continued this morning in the
United States court with ". II. It'd.
well, special agent Of the treasury de,
partment, ON the witness stand.
Tidwell showed from the company IS
books that during the period between
April l, 1905, and the last day of 1912
it received pay from American ship
owners and from the government for
1928 tons of coal in excess of what it
really delivered, according to its own
weights. Tidwell said the company
not only collected payment for the coal
it sold, but which the books show it did
not deliver, but it also received the
customs drawback or rebate allowed by
law on foreign coal sold to American
ships.
4 caustic criticism from Stanley
Moore, lawyer for the defense
brought from the prosecution n specific
case Of overage in which the percent
age was over II per cent.
"While I don't care to argue thi.
case ut this time, | think if it has

Moore.

pany's books, but that l244 tons were

Lanky, The Human Ostrich

pitching the best game of his life.
Both Hill City catchers had retired,
claiming that Lankys twirling was
too hot for them to handle. The man.
ager himself, who used to catch in
his playing days, took sup the receiv-
ing. though he could scarcely hold
Lankys delivery. Lanky struck out
man after man and didn't allow =
single hit.
but the other pitcher was doing
fine work, too, and the Hill City play
ers had been unable to get run
around. Unfortunately Jacksonville
had scored two runs without hit,
both runs being due to passed balls
and dropped third strikes. AS re-
suit, the home fans We're bewailing
their hard luck when Hill City came
to bat in the ninth inning two runs
behind.
The first man up cracked out q
single to right The next man sacri-
feed. Lanky was up next and re-
sponded with a crashing double to
center. He was advanced to third on
an infield out. Now let Lanky tell
the rest himself:
L felt that queer sensation in my
head Things grew blank before my
eyes. For some reason or other I got
the idea l was an ostrich. AS I wait
ed at third felt like eating the saclJ
sawdust and ally Brady, the next nah
up, beat out a safe hit to second. AS I
started for home the second baseman
shot the ball to catcher. l saw him
waiting there with the ball. so l ran
back toward third and the catcher
had the BALI there waiting for me.
When I saw myself surrounded by
the enemy l just naturally was scared
plum crazy. So what did l do but
kneel down and try to poke my head
path? oh, oh, I'll never forget itp
so you can imagine how badly
Lanky felt, losing the ball game 2 TO
/, just because he acted like an os-
trich."
What became of Lanly?" asked
Max, who had been much impressed
with the story.
"Oh, he's still pitching in the same
league. but he's quit trying to be an
ostrich, both in arm and head"
There was silence a few seconds.
Presently James said to his cousin:
"Do you believe that story, MAXI"
mo, don't. Do you. Uncle David?"
"Oh. come now, boys. Next time
we go to Hill City I'll take you out
to the zoo and show you the very
ostrich. Now run along and don't
bother me-"

Bronze Medals Of Our Presidents

to see that medal was made of
George Washington; and from that
day to this each Secretary of that de-
partment of Government has had a
medal made of the President In whose
cabinet he served.
The medal of Washington was made
most expert in all France. 1t is
three inches in diameter and. on it's
diverse side bears bust of the .Fa-
ther Of his Country in profile. and
the Inscription. George Washington.

On the reverse side appear two
clasped hands. one that of an Indian,
the other that of q colonial officer;
tomahawk and a calumet of peace
crossed: and the Inscription, Peace
and Friendship Numbers Of these
were struck OFF and given to the In
dians as token of the white mans
friendship for them.
The medal Of President Lincoln is
particularly interesting and, it is
said, remarkable likeness II. shows
his rugged features in profile and
bears the simple inscription. "Abra-
ham Lincoln" On the reverse side.
enclosed in q wreath of oak leaves
set on branches OF laurel and palm
crossed, are inscribed the dates of his

Kangaroo was pointing and, sure
enough, there among the leaves was
what appeared to be the most Tempt
ing fruit I had ever seen.
1T was about as big as a canta-
loupe, and one-half of it was the color
of a peach just ripe and ready to
drop, while the other half was the
beautiful purple of a plum that would
melt in your mouth. 1t certainly did
look tempting; and no wonder poor
Kangaroo, who had nothing to eat but
leaves and sprouts and berries that
grew close to the ground-no wonder
his mouth watered for it,
Hum -m-m-m. said 1 to myself,
greatly puzzled. 'Humm-m! Then,
suddenly, l began to see the light.
Kangaroo asked, when did you
first see this-this-this Sweetumbite
and why do you call 1t that?'
"'Oh,' he answered, the Laughing
Hyena pointed it out to me a little
while ago; and then Monkey came
along and told me 1t was called a
Sweetumbite because 1t is such lus-
cious fruit. And then he talked long
time about what a pity 1t was that
my legs weren't long enough for me
to stand up and reach it. And that's
why I came to you, Mr.. Old Man. 1
want you to make my legs grow so
can reach up and eat that gorgeous
Sweetumbiterl

In the warming pan complained to
the pitcher that he was throwing too
hard.
What's the use of putting so
much speed on the ball? p asked the
catcher. IF you throw like this in
practice you'll not have enough steam
to start game.
Tn not throwing hard replied
Lanky. I'm just lobbing them over
''And Lanky meant it. He was act
ually throwing easy. but for some
mysterious reason his arm had grown
powerfully strong and he was able to
throw a ball with unusual speed, even
when not exerting himself. The
catcher thought Lanky was joking
when he said he was not throwing
hard. So the manager did not hear
of it.
about a week after he had been
out of the hospital, Lanky started a
game. 1t was with the Jacksonville
Grays. Well. to get to the heart of
the matter. LanlSy found himself
