The Sheik and Nj. House

When the French came into contact
with the Bedouin In Algeria 1t was
thought that a ready way of clvilizing
him would be to assist him TO build
himself a permanent habitation. \

OF gratitude to the French engineers
who had built him n house.
"Since my house was finished he
said. II have not lost single sheep.

Bee comb or beeswax, the material
of which the honey cells in the bee
hive are composed, is a wax produced
by system OF chemistry carried on
in the wax pockets" which are locat-
ed in the abdomen OF all working bees.
1t is a peculiar substance and is said
to be analogous TO the fats OF higher
animals. Originally 1t was supposed
that this wax was taken up in an al
most pure state from the flowers by
the bees, but experiments carried on
by the leading botanists and chemists
Of the world conclusively prove that
the bee is capable Of celebrating his
peculiar wax, although confined to n
diet purely saccharin in its nature.

salary by succeeding in inducing Roger

Ty Cobb and Bresnahan are the three
biggest drawing cards in the game or
course Mathewson. Wood, Brown and
Walsh are drawing cards of calibre, but
not as great as the three | have named.
The reason is the crowds generally go
out when they are expected to pitch,

now can put an entire team of 300 hit

GREAT INTEREST SHOWN IN
BIG SOCCER GAME TO-DAY
MANY SOUTHERN
STARS HAVE SIGNED
Paskert and Ty Cobb Still
Hold Out for More
Coin

Ten days ago a story about the
prevalence of the holdout fever among
Dixie's baseball stars was very much
in order, but now they're falling in
line with every passing day and soon
we'll hear that every last SON OLA
gun of them has signed for 1913 work.
1t hasn't been very long since the
list of southern holdouts included; Ty
Cobb, Derrill Pratt, Clyde Milan, Jimmy
Johnston, Doc Johnston, "Pud" Nc
Tigue, Hub Perdue, George Stengle,
Dode Paskert and Joe Jackson. Now
all have signed except Paskert, Stengle
and Cobb. Ty says there's no chance
for him to be holdout and that he will
sign as soon as a contract is rendered
him. That leaves Stengle and Paskert
as the only holdouts from the south
Both are graduates of the Southern
league but neither is Dixie native.
Paskert is a resident of Cleveland and
Stengle of Kansas City.
