Semmens Hands Evers Punch and
Resignation-Have a Dream?

When Doc Semmens swung on
John Evers' jaw, and at almost the
same time a train for Cincinnati,
1929 dopists, Immediately began
picking new manager for the Cubs
Some of the dopists get real money
for the work, and sprained their
typewriters in putting down their
dreams
There were numerous reports that
discipline in the Cub ranks was about
as strong as the Republican party in
South Carolina, and that the whole
team was in mood to commit muir
der. Naturally, there are discussions
among the men. Few of. the posi-
lions are settled, and the candidates
are jealous of each other, especially
most veterans and realize release
now means almost q sure return to
the minors. This feeling will clear
up. .s - -
Doc had hardly slipped over his
punch before numerous gents were
making bets with themselves as to
how long it would be before Roger
Bresnahan would become manager
of the Cubs. They may be right. No
one but Charles Webb Murphy knows
about that, and Charles is not giving
: interviews on the matter, though he
has talked about everything else
imaginable.
After Doc slipped over that first
punch Evers would have been a lot
more popular if he had countered
with a hefty swing instead of calling
Doc a name

PROPOSED CHANGE IN CIR.
QUIT LAWS A GOOD ONE

Madison, Wis. Feb. 10, 1913.
The claws delay has become a
by-word in this country, due to
the notorious stringing out of Iiti-
cation in American courts. which,
In effect, makes one law for the
poor and another for the rich.
For several years agitation for
briefer and more direct court pro-
cedure has been country vide,
and reform has been advocated;by
the President of the United States
and promiaent judges and cat-

The first edition of the statutes
under the revisor was delivered to
the members of the legislature OF
1913 at the opening Of the session
and has received general approx
al. AS this revision progresses,
it is certain to make clearer to
both lawyer and Iayman what is

The Clocks We Wear.

The three marks on the back of a
glove and the clocks on the stocking
are due practically to the same cir
cumstance. The glove marks CORE
spond to the fourchette pieces be-
tween the fingers, and in other days
these pieces were continued along the
back of the hand, braid being used to
conceal the seams A somewhat sim
liar origin Is assigned to the orna-
mental clock on the stockings In the
days when stockings were made of
cloth, the seams occurred where the
clocks do now, the ornamentation then
being used to conceal the seams. The
useless little bow in the leather band

the time when hat was made by TAX

Appliances for Measuring Time.

Mechanical appliances for measur-
ing time were in use from the earliest
ages and clocks of one kind or an
other were made in Europe before the
discovery of America. Brass wheel
clocks with weights, standing six
feet high, such as are now called
grandfather clocks, were common in
England and Germany long before the
revolutionary war. The first clockma-
ker in the United States was Eli Ter
ry, who made his first clock with
wooden wheels in 1892, and afterward
made a great many, and they were
good timekeepers. In 1907 he con-
tracted to deliver 1000 wooden wheel
movements to certain firm, and it
took him three years to fill the order
Seth Thomas, once well known Yam
kee clockmaker, learned his trade
with Eli Terry. Brass wheel clocks
were first made in the United States
in 1897

Some Of contjnent,s Attitudes.

The maximum difference in eleva-
ton of land in the United States Is
14,777 feet, according to the United
States geological survey. Mount
Whitney, the highest point, is 14,501
feet above sea level, and point in
Death Valley is 276 feet below sea
level. These two points, which are
both in California, are less than nine
ty miles apart. This difference is
small however. as compared with the
figures for Asia Mount Everest
rises $4,000 feet above sea level,
whereas the shores of the Dead sea
are 1890 feet below sea level, total
difference in land heights Of 30.292
feet. Mount Everest has never been
climbed. The greatest ocean depth
yet found is 32.0SS feet, at point
about fifty miles north of the Island
of Mindanao, in the Philippine islands.
The ocean bottom at this point is
therefore more than eleven and a
half miles below the summit of Mount
Everest.
