Resuscitated Memory.

Charles .Reade, the novelist, believ-
ed in the daily newspaper as a source
for incidents that would furnish better
material for romance than could pos
sibly be created by any effort of fancy.
He kept scrap book in which he
stored away newspaper clippings
which were afterward to masquerade
as fiction. His story of "a Simpleton. :"
is one in which DR.. Christopher
Staines of London is lost overheard in
mid-ocean, picked up all but dead from
raft, taken to Cape Town with all
memory of the past utterly oblter
ated, but afterward restored in small
installments through the agency of a
couple of the terrific thunderstorms
peculiar to that latitude. That story
of forty years ago has been more than
confirmed over and over again In real
life by incidents of memory and per.
sonality lost and regained The last OF
these comes from Warren. Pa. of a
man, a common laboror, working at a
silica sand plant, who, struck by Il fall
of ice, has, while lying in hospital
regained his identity, lost a dozen

Novelist Misquoted Scripture

Novelists do not seem to be very
strong in their knowledge of the
scriptures somehow. and Sir Walter
Scott in The Heart of Midlothian
attempts to point moral with the
words: Our simple and unpretend
ing heroine had the merit OF those
peacemakers TO whom it is promised
as a benediction that they shall in
herit the earth The fact is that
the peacemakers did not receive any
such promise, but it is said that the
meek shall inherit the earth"

Senator Vardaman, at luncheon,
said of a certain trusts defense:
THE defense is worse than the Of

Beach.
"A young lady at Bath Beach had
occasion to complain about one Of the
bathhouse attendants, and old fellow
who i'm the hurry of cleaning IN would
sometimes burst in upon her in her
bathhouse WITHOUT knocking.
''One morning after this had hap
pened for the sixth or seventh time
the young lady took the old fellow to
task
See here, Peters, she said there's
no lock on my bathhouse, as you
know, and l must insist on your
knocking before you enter. 1t hasn't
happened yet, but it might very well
happen, that you'd come in on me

6GNA major leagues.
iM7QH The hero of this baseball
W. epic was Walter Johnson,
T8J the marvellous pitcher of
TS the Washington club, who
has just beaten all records
by hurting the ball for 56 consecutive
innings with such skill and cunning
that not a batsman of an opposing
club has been able to score a run.
Speed was the great factor in the
MISUNDERSTANDING sizzling speed
The big ldahoan's delivery is like the
fight of a shell. The mightiest hit
tiers of the American league are as
helpless as town lot players when
Johnson turns loose his fastest ball;
"Ty' Cobb, Home Run Baker and
Jackson alike are babes in his hands.
Johnson's amazing swiftness in
pitching is no mere fancy. 1t has
been scientifically measured, In the
testing room of the Remington Arms
company at Bridgeport, Conn, John
son showed that his right arm could
hurl the baseball at the rate of 1872
feet a second 1t was acknowledged
that he could do even better. because
in athletic parlance he was not
warmed up. 1t is well known that a
hurler gathers speed as game
progresses.
Johnson flung the sphere through
an aperture in a frame of wood about
two feet square. Running from top
to bottom were ten very delicate and
filmy copper wires. These were
broken by the ball, and by an cleo.
trical device the moment of passage
was accurately timed. Five yards
away was a steel plate and the i'm
pact of the ball on this barr Ter again
caused the electric clock to register
Thus the exact time Of the balls flight
was mechanically determined
The velocity obtained by Johnson
Is all the more extraordinary when
it is known that a bullet from the
new government As automatic pistol
travels 500 feet per second.
A high power hunting rife, .35 cali
Der, auto-loading, travels 1000 feet
per second.
The Twentieth Century limited, the
fastest longdistance train in the
world makes the $751; miles from
New York to Chicago in just 20 hours,
or an average speed of 1873 miles
every hour. This means velocity of
nearly - feet second
Suppose Johnson's speedbal kept
on travelling at 1872 feet a second right
on toward the Windy City at it's own
hurricane speed 1t would eat up the

TOURNAMENT BY GUN
CLUB ON DECEMBER 81


The local gun club is arranging for
a shooting tournament on the 21st
inst, when a number of events will be
shot off, with prizes numerous enough
that all can go home with full hands.
Fifteen matches have been arranged,
each to consist of ten bluerock tar
gets, and in each fat gobbler will
be the first prize; chicken second
prize, and merchandise prizes for
third place. The merchants have con-
tributed goods from their stocks for
the merchandise prizes, and great
sport is anticipated. The grounds OF
the club are to be moved across the
river to a point near the end of the
railroad bridge, where the tourna-
ment will be held.
There will also be rife shooting
during the day, numerous valuable
prizes being hung for the eagle-eyed
shooters.

WOMEN OF CHICAGO
DENOUNCE THE MAYOR

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Mayor Harrison
in particular, and Chicago's govern
ment in general, were denounced in
unmeasured terms today at a meet
ing of the Chicago Women's Club,
called to protest against conditions
which compelled the resignation yes
terday of Mrs. Ella Flagg Young as
superintendent of the city's schools.
Mrs. Young is one of Americas
leading educators" said Jane Ad-
dams, "and yet she was sacrificed,
evidently to satisfy clique of petty
politicians. It is too early to discuss
the possibility that she will be the
women's candidate for mayor at the
next city election, but there is no tell
ing what may develop from this sit
uation."
Mrs. Young, the first woman to
become school superintendent in a
city of Chicagos importance, was
generally considered to have per
formed her duties with an efficiency
never known in local school super
ntendent before She was so hamp
cred in her policies, however, by
members of the board Of education,
all of whom are chosen by the mayor,
that she offered her resignation
few months ago There was such
an outcry against its acceptance that
Mayor Harrison prevailed on her 10
withdraw It, promising her a free
hand in future
Last evening, when the board took
up the matter OF her reelection for
another term, the vote was ne.
Saying she could not permit her name
to be voted on again unless assured
Of unanimous support, Mrs. Young
Immediately resigned.

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 11.-Barrl-

South Range, a strong party of strik-

COMMERCIAL CLUB DISCUSSES
LIVE TOPIC
COUNCILMEN In SUPPORT
Charge Made by Senator Smith That
Reduction Was for Political
Purposes

The question of the rate OF tax
levy within the city of Grants Pass
was the subject of lively discussion
at the meeting OF the Commercial
Club Monday evening, The discussion
was precipitated by Senator Smith.
who voiced doubt as to the suffi-
cheney of 6 y mill levy for general
purposes, and charged that 1t had
been purposely reduced to that figure
by the outgoing mayor to handicap
and discredit the administration of
Mayor-elect McKinstry who will as
sumo the reins Of government on the
first OF the new year. Mr.. Smith was
free In his remarks concerning the
levy, opposing the half mill provided
for library purposes, attacking the
plan for the free public library. The
administration was taken to task by
the senator and by other speakers
for not having taken the public into
its confidence In municipal affairs.
Councilmen Anderson and Porter.
who were present. took issue with the
speaker and upheld the sufllciency
of the levy for the conduct of the city
during the year, quoting the figures
to support the statement that there
would be plenty of cash In the various
funds. Mayor-elect McKinstry clear
ed the atmosphere by announcing
that Mr.. Norton, who is to be his
city attorney, would meet Tuesday
with the finance committee OF the
council, and the finances OF the city
would be thoroughly considered, and
the adequacy of the levy would be
arrived at. He also agreed that un-
der his administration he would seek
to give the public full knowledge of
the municipal affairs.
Rogue river fishing was a subject
of some interest again, the mainten-
ance of a federal hatchery at the
Golden Drift dam being the Issue.
Discussion brought out much opposi-
tlon to the conduct Of hatchery on
the river here, the penning up OF the
thousands OF salmon and the conse-
quent holding back of the game fish
destroying much OF the sport value
of the stream. The sentiment OF
the speakers was that the hatcheries
should be maintained on the upper
river.
