Here's the latest story they're tell
ing on Rube Marquard, the $1,000
pitcher on the Giants staff and just
now on the vaudeville stage. Mr.,
Marquard's reading, his mates say, has
been largely confined to the hits and
errors column.
"One day., another member of the
Giants said, "Rube was reading the
account of game out loud. At the
close of the story was the note: 'Um'
pires, Messrs. KLEIN and Kane

DESERTED.

oh. the baseball park deserted
Is a melancholy place!
Where with fame the players flirted
AS they sped from base to base.
Now the squirrel boldly chatters,
And the crows, in dark review.
Scan the place where sturdy batters
Heard the fearsome shout, Strike
two.'
There's city still and solemn
Where the laughter once was gay.
There's the slab and marble column
In the churchyard growing gray.
There's the headache you remember
When the revelry's forgot,
But the ball park in December
Is the gloomiest of the lot.

STRICTLY UP TO DATE.
A Democratic Demonstration of a
Progressive" Town Meeting.

From reports received in Gardiner
regarding the town meeting held in
Farmingdale on Monday last. it APP
pears that the good citizens of that
town were given a pretty good idea of
Democratic progressive work.
Where the care of the highways was
formerly entrusted to one man. the
town now has three street commission
ers Many citizens express the hope
that under this efficient beard great
modern improvements will be made in
the town highways, as a large sum of
money. larger than for several years,
was appropriated for this purpose.
Another Democratic progressive
feature was the manner in which the
tax collector was chosen. The collec-
ton of taxes Is usually given 70 the
lowest bidder-and this year one of the
Leading and most responsible citizens,
MIR. Oscar Mccauslard, should have
been given the work. he having offered
to do the same for S3S ard furnish the
required bond but the progressive"
Democrats voted the job to Mr.. Frank
Marshall, his bid having been $40, and,
subsequently,, voted to furnish his
bond
The next progressive" step was the
election of constable As sufficient
number OF responsible citizens could
not be found in Farm!ngdale to serve
as constables. il became necessary to
elect n resident of the neish5oring city
Of Gardner as one constable, who. as
any school boy knows, has no more
right to act as such than any citizen

Another feature of the meeting was
the occasion of the election of a menu

nriation of money for the schools, in
the course OF which n member of the

talk.

HYOMEPS Aromatic Air is Guaran-

the air you breathe is like that on the
mountains high above sea level, where
the pine woods fill the air with aromatic
healing that gives health and strength
to those suffering from diseases of the
respiratory organs. Breathed through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, the healing balsams OF
TYOMEI reach the most remote air cells
of the throat. nose and lungs, destroy
ing all catarrhal germs and giving quick
relief.
HYOMEI pronounced IIigh-o-me) has
performed almost miraculous cures of
catarrh, often restoring health in
chronic cases that had given up all hope
of recovery Its,best action is at the
start of the disease when the breath is
becoming offensive, and when discharges
from the nose. droppings in the throat
and frequent sneeZiug, shifting or spas
modic coughing begin to make life
burden. At the first symptom of ca
tarrhal trouble, such as shifting and
hawking, use HYoMEl and see how
quickly you get relief.

A LIVE AMERICAN.
The Blind Boy Who Heard His Chum
Read About Senators.

About 81 years ago little blind boy
of eight used to sit in n humble cottage
in the tiny village Of Walthill Miss.
and listen with the especial in.entness
of the blind to the reading of his moth
er and sister
A few months previous an accident
had transformed him from a sturdy,
eray-eyed chap TO helpless youngster
doomed to darkness.
The boy was Thomas Pryor Gore,
and now he is United States Senator
from Oklahoma, and one of the fore
most members of that body.
For several winters after the loss of
his sight the little fellow used to make
his way to and from school, which was
three quarters of a mile away from his
home. He had set his mind resolutely
upon an education His ambition to
rise in the world had become burn
ing obsession with him; he became
child of introspection, and the gravity
of his thoughts reflected in his sight
less face earned for him the sobri4uet
of "the Governor.
At high school Senator Cores closest
companion was a boy named Charles
II. Pittman, who used to read to him.
One day they found an old volume of
the Congressional Record. The boys re-
haired to the stable, where the blind
student would stand for hours while
his friend read to him the speeches of
the legislators at Washington.
senator Gore can recall the moment
when the ambition to be United
states Senator entered his breast, nev-
CT to leave it.
ON one occasion Gore, a struggling
young lawyer, debated with senator
Money, whose tongue was a thlnS or
terror to all Mississippi and who smll-
ed contemptuously when told that his
opponent in debate was poor bilnd
schoolboy. The Senator declared that
| had It no. been for his antagonists
blindness he would have held him per-
sonallv responsible for his words
To this Gore promptly replied; Let
him then blindfold himself and l VIII
meet him."
One day. when the fortunes OF the
vollng man were at their lowest, II
seemed as though he had come TO star
yation At this juneture an old negro
woman paid so which she owed him.
That saved the situation. His fortunes
began to mend.
He came to oklahoma with his father
in 1901 driving As miles. Bret Harte
never wrote a stranger tale than ms
life in the new territory. His father be-
came a Notary Public in the tented
city. The blind sons attired in an al
paca coat, colored shirt and SLOUGH hat,
used to walk up and down through the
motley crowd waving his hand and
shouting. "Here's where you get your
papers out! Here's where you get your
papers OUT" At night he slept ON the
ground. $500 80

Things moved fast in the new com
munit%. Soon Gore was campaigning
tur the senatorship, though he was
monoyless, or practically so. One day
nc was walking the street with his
head bowed, wondering whether after
ell his terrible struggle he must be
etarve6 out eff the political race.
Somebody touched him on the arm. 1t
was a friend. Thomas Dunn. banker.
He felt something slipped into his hand
