They had taken a huge, dreary house in

So far they had made but slight progress.
When June came Mollie was taken i'll, and
for days she was in a darkened room, racked
by a burning fever Her recovery was a
problem. Jack seldom left her. She was
unconscious great part of the time.
On this particular evening a distinguished
Ambassador, in splendid palace, and their
neighbor, had reached the climax of a tri-

his home the King and the Queen and a
brilliant company. 1t was glorious occa-

crowd gathered round the house itself, could

.quently, there will always be a
splendid market for good cheese.
The production of the same will
never meet the demand. This
makes Northern Wisconsin es-
pecially valuable for the produc-
ton of this food product.
Not only is the northern half
of the state most excellent for
dairying but also for the produc-
ton Of live stock. The even tenn
peratures during the winter
months of Northern Wisconsin
are far better for sheep husband
nv than the more mild and change

is not harmful in the rearing of
live stock when it is continual.

II win be regretted if Otto Jordan
is allowed to drop out of the league
but Elberfeld has been in a better
position than anybody else to know
whether or not Jordan is slowing up
and naturally was not likely TO make
any bad mistakes.
If Jordan goes out of the league it
will leave Clayton Perry and Jud
Daley the oldest men In point Of
continuous service.
Otto started his ninth consecutive
year yesterday. He made his debut
here in 1905 as manager OF the At
lanta club
Jordan's record is one seldom
eaualled by any baseball player, In
all his Southern League career, which
included 1887 games, he made but
1872 errors, for a fielding average Of
! 9z1. Four different years he led the
I second basemen OF the league. Three
times he ranked second, Only once
did he fall as low as fourth in field
ing.
But Of course a man slows up in
time. Jordan is "a this year That
is not old but, in baseball, it is
aging" For all that Jordan has a
lot of good baseball yet and should
be able to hook on somewhere as a
manager.
Jud Daley and Clayton Perry sue
coed Jordan as the "Old men" Of the
league. Both have played in the
