WATCHES SONS TRIUMPH.
Matty's Father Dodges Court Duties
to Scan Bulletins in Country Town.

TUNKHANNOCK. October 9-There
was a gray-haired man watching the
score board here yesterday during the
progress of the worlds series game in
Philadelphia to whom the success OF
Christy Mathewson meant more, senti-
mentally. than to any 'one else except.
perhaps, the Giants star pitcher himself.
It was Mathewson's father, g. B. Ma
thewson of Factoryville.
He had been summoned here as /. wit
ness In q. court proceeding, but when his
name was called to take the stand he
could not be found. Officers were sent
in search OF him, and the elder Mathew
SON was located In front OF the score
board, applauding and smiling broadly as
every succeeding report told OF his sons
wonderful pitching.
''I used to play amateur base ball my
self, years ago. said the old man with
a disappointed expression upon his face,
as he accompanied the officers back 10
court II never even dreamed, though.
that my boy would achieve the fame that
Christy he's In the base ball worlds''

GETTYSBURG DIsCONsOLATE.
Fellow Townsmen of Plank Disheart-

GETTYSBURG, Pa, October 9.--Prob-
ably no place outside of Philadelphia saw
q more disheartened set of base ball fol-
lowers than Gettysburg when the result
of yesterdays game between the Ath-
ietics and Giants was received.
Although many of the more enthusiast
tic fans made an excursion TO see the
game, Center Square was filled with the
stay homes. as bulletins were posted
almost as fast a. the plays We're executed
at Shibe Park. Inning after inning, as
Plank retired New York runless, cheers
were given for the thirty eight ear old
pitcher and the whole Athletic team.

straight games from the Casinos last

game was 52S to 500, this being the only.
five-hundred game rolled by the Casino
bunch. The second was, close. the tally
being 4s5 to 4S4. but the greatest mar
gin was earned in the third frame, when
the Capitol Hill men. knocked down 526
against 463 for their opponents.
Van Buskirk did the best individual
work for the winners of the set. He roll.

averaged no. three more than the aver
age of his teammate, Ferguson. Fergu-

the night on any alley, 80 and 100. Elliott
also had three very credftable scores. His
work was consistent, too, as he was the
only man on the team to register at least

BIRD BOOK ISSUED
Agriculture Department Pub
fishes Valuable Work.
Farmers Are Informed That Al the
Winged Creatures Are Helpful IN
Destroying Pests That Injure
crops--All Are voraclous.

Washington. -"Fifty common birds
OF farm and orchard" is the title OF
one Of the most remarkable bulletins
that have been issued from the de-
partment OF agriculture for long
time. The FIRST edition is chiefly for
distribution to members OF congress
but the bulletin is OF such general In
terest that its likely to run through
many editions and take a place with
the departments famous Horse
Book" as one Of the classics Of agri-
culture
The bird book consists largely Of
pictures, but, as the introduction says.
these are given prominence for spe-
cific purpose. They are small color
drawings. made by an artist who Is
also an ornithologist The picture Is
used In each case as an Notification
of the bird, and the ESQ words Of text
that accompany the picture relate
merely to the birds habits and range
and the character Of its food.
DR.. Henry Henshaw. chief of the
biological survey, from which the
book is issued, says that the records
it contains are the result of the ex-
animation of about $4,000 bird stom-
achs by the experts of the survey in
twenty-six years. He adds, however.
that these stomachs we're obtained, so
far as possible, from scientific collec-
tors, because the birds themselves are
too valuable national asset to be de-
stroyed when avoidable, even for the
sake of getting data on which to base
laws for their protection.
DR.. Henshaw says that the object Of
the book is to give farmers and far

on PsnnaxIvanla Farm.

Here is one of the stories. says the
Americas Greeting. from the old mans
row In front OF the barber shop: Ono
man said back In Pennsylvania they
farmed the land where the hills were
90 steep that when they planted pota-
toes one man had to hold them In q
furrow while another man covered
them up. When they dug them In the
fall they were simply allowed TO roll
to the bottom OF the hill before any
attempt was made TO pick than up.

mers' boys a ready reference publica-
ton by which they may tell at a
glance which birds are valuable and
which are harmful. 1t gives some fig
ures which show what large amount
Of good to agriculture birds do in de-
stroying insects and eating weed
seeds.
He points out that birds are voca-
cious eaters and have to work indus
triously not only for their own food.
but for the food demanded by their
ever-hungry nestlings. In this con-
nection he points out that the stom-
ach Of a single uno5trustive field spar
row taken in New York contained
three-quarters Of an ounce OF noxious
weed seed On this basis It could be
calculated with fair accuracy that the
sparrows alone in New York state de-
stroyed annually s45 tons of weed
seeds.
Many of the other figures given are
equally interesting and surprising
The author says that nearly all birds
are useful either as insect or weed
eaters. Even the birds of prey. like
hawks and owls, that have bad
name among farmers. do much more
good than harm.
In the case of a single owls nest
there were collected from the neigh
borhood 5000 skulls. mostly those OF
rodents. such as rats. mice and
gophers.
