The game opened with Molasses at the stick and Smallpox catching. Ci- gar was in the box, with plenty of smoke. Horn was on first base and Fiddle on second; backed by Corn in the field. he made it hot for Umpire Apple. who was rotten. Axe came to bat and chopped. Cigar let Brick walk and Sawdust filled the bases. Song made a hit and Twenty made score. Cigar went out and Balloon started to pitch, but went straight up; then Cherry tried it, but was wild. Old Ice kept cool in the game until he was hit by pitched ball, and then you ought to have heard Ice Cream. Cabbage had a good head and kept quiet. Grass covered lots of ground, and the crowd cheered when Spider caught the fly. Bread loafed on third and pumped Organ, who played fast and put Light out
 In the fifth inning Wind began to blow about what he could do. Ham, mer began to knock, and Trees began to leave. The way they roasted Pea nuts was a fright. Knife was put out for cutting first base. Lightning fin ished pitching the game and struck out six men. In the ninth Apple told Fiddle to take his base and then Song made another hit. Trombone made a slide and Meat was put out on the plate.

YOUNG WOMAN'S
 PICTURE IS POPULAR

WASHINGTON, May 15.-It is one thing to have ones portrait in mu- scum like George Washington and others, but the likeness of Miss Eve Iyn James of San Antonio, Texas, bids fair to become even more popular soon. It is safe to say her picture will be in every good American home. for Miss James picture will appear Exclusively on Uncle Sans paper money.
 A committee recently appointed by Congress selected Miss James picture for the central feminine figure of a decorative group for the reverse side of the new currency. So one can see just how much in demand her pic ture islikely to be.

FIRST BROWN BEAR
 OF SEASON KILLED

SEWARD, Alaska, April 25.-The first brown bear of the season was killed this week on the lower end of Kenai lake by Jim Kallis, well known hunter and prospector. The bear was large and the skin is eX- ceptionally fine on account of the fact that Bruin had not been out of his quarters more than day or so when he met the hunter. The big thaw which just preceding the heavy fall of snow during the past few days brought out some of the early bears.

A Clock That Talks

clockmaker There is nothing very

it could be put it is easy to imagine a
terrible state of affairs in the world

The invention is that OF a gramo-
phone clock. Instead of striking the
hours like an ordinary timepiece, this
particular clock announces the time
in loud, impressive tones. To avoil
any chance of misapprehension on the
part of its hearers the clock does not
say merely Three O'clock" for eX-
ample; ii says, "One. two, three" in
tones which are sufficient to make the
listener believe that it is actually
glaring at him
So far so we'll If the clock confines
Itself to calling out the hour no grea;

vertiser gets the idea of spreading
knowledge of his wares by its aid.

harder than the head A man makes
this discovery sooner than a WOmal,
and soon desists. \ woman will 90
on beating her head with duh, mo-
notonous tom-tom of protest to the
end of her days.
The futility OF mourning is not the
only argument against its encourage

that every Unattached person in time
becomes a problem to his or to her
relatives. And this is in a measure
true no matter what the financial
condition of the one left alone.
A lover of lovers discovered in
happy rhyme that this world is built
for two: the little swings hold only
two, there is room in the little boat

just broad enough for two TO walk

would have learned that this world Is

Every home is for two primarily.
Every burden, every humiliation.
Every JOY that comes to a home was
meant TO be divided by two. The sor-
row is too great to bear, the humill-
alton too bitter to endure, and the
JOY loses half its flavor when expo
rieuced by only one. When the chill

nest, one could not ask greater boon
of life than that the original two be
left together to live life over again in
mutual memories.
