FAv0Rs IN FLOWER BASKET
Gently Evolved by Particularly
Clever Hostess.

At a brides luncheon recently CIV
en- the favors were in a huge green
basket in the center of the table. The
basket was filled with green paper
grass, and in the grass grew paper
daffodils Each daffodil had tiny doll 8
head for its center. The cup part of
the daffodil made little cap about the
pretty face and the flaring petals
framed 1t. The heads, being heavier
than the paper. weighed down the
wire-stemmed flowers and made them
look almost as II they were bending.
as daffodils do. to every passing
breeze.
The same idea could be carried out
with pink or red paper roses. which
would make delightful frames for tiny
bisque heads. Some of the dolls had
fair and some had dark hair, and as
some of the flowers were larger than
others, or made with long stems no
two Of them looked quite the same.

Leaders In Progress.

Galveston, Texas is popularity
supposed to be the first city in
1.-THE country to adopt the commits
sion form Of government, which
is growing to be so popular
throughout the land. This is an
error. After the pestilence of
1879, and when Memphis was
in sackcloth and ashes, COM
mission form of government was
organized under the name and
legal title of the Taking Dis
trict of Memphis" Through
this agency the city was rescued
from its perils and pestilence,
and put in a way to become the
great commercial center it now
is.
Nevertheless we have no quar-
rel with Galveston because of her
claims to priority, but rather re-
ioice that she and other cities
have found, way by which
many of the old evils have been
extirpated. Within fifty miles of
Galveston, on the mint-fringed
banks of Buffalo bayou, stands
the city of Houston, and this
community has taken step for
ward that will surprise and a.
larm many of the more conserv-
ative towns and cities of the
country.
Houston was not satisfied with
the commission form of govern
ment, conceived by Memphis and
given popularity by Galveston.
She wanted something more. The
city council appropriated sum
of money and employed Mr..
Frank Putnam, a competent
newspaper man, to spend a year
or so in Europe in examining the
municipal conditions there en-
listing. He visited all the lead
ing countries, and reported pro-
gress in letters written back to
his city government. Mr.. Put

The Tragedy of Invention

Charles Teller, the originator
of cold storage, has been allow
ed 70 die in his old age from
hunger and cold-with the rib
bon of the Legion Of Honor to
comfort him, but without
enough to eat.
The romance Of invention
presents many tragedies, but
none more pitiful than this, and
none that more painfully re-
fleets upon the worlds ingrati-
tude to its real benefactors.
Teller gave the modern
world the principles of refrig-
Grafton, on which it has based a
gigantic industry. He has
made possible the great cold
storage warehouses in which
perishable food is preserved, the
fleets Of ships in which il IS car
Tried between nations, and the
long trains Of railroad cars, BY
! means Of which it is conveyed
from producing to distributing
centers.
Thanks to his invention the
worlds supply OF perishable
food is kept stable, and the dan
ger Of shortage minimized
Cold storage, though it has been
exploited for profit and abused
for mercenary reasons, is never
theless one of the most useful
of industrial inventions.
What bitter irony that Teller
in old age and penury, should
perish Of the very element
cold = which he taught the
world artifcially to create, and
of want of the foods which he
taught the world to supply fresh
and pure to every man but him
self,
And yet if Teller was denied
a recompense for q short period
Of time, maybe he has it to his
credit for eternity, if he was &
server Of men. The finger OF
the boy hurt and paining for d
short time is not remembered
after the cure.-Memphis News

but it gives at least a clew as to
what became of the Inflated
party.
From the solitude Of the nor
thern wilderness there has re-
turned to this country Catholic
missionary, who braved the dam
gers of that most desolate coun-
try. Father Torquitel, who has
for years devoted his efforts to
converting the Esquimeaux,
tells strange story. During
the winters of everlasting nights
and during the brief days of
summer he has lived with these
wild tribes and has become one
Of them. They have confidence
in what he is doing and faith in
his great power. He is best Xix
ed among the natives OF the
Hudson Bay district, and it is
from this point that the infor-
nation comes that house sail
ed through the air and fell in
the field of ice. Men were
aboard the house, and these men
were killed. The natives also
tell of having visited this house
and bringing away large guam
titles of rope.
! will be remembered that
the Andree balloon was Of orig
inal design, and did in a meas
ure. resemble a house. 1t was
propelled by sails and was guild
ed by ropes. That this balloon
was what the natives saw seems
highly reasonable, that it was
wrecked and members of the
venturesome party were killed
is likewise highly probable.
They may be mistaken, but
! Father Torquitel thinks that
they are in earnest and that
this at last is a bit Of evidence
pointing to what became Of the
Andree expedition.
Andree was a Swedish engin-
eer. He held that the safest
and surest way to reach the
pole was through the air His
expedition was organized and a
balloon of special design con-
structed. On July II, 1897, with
the most favorable winds he set
sail. From that day to this
no word has been heard Of the
missing party. Several relief
expeditions have penetrated the
frozen north with the eXpecta-
ton of finding some trace of the
missing men, but not clew has

which Father Torquitel brings

In 1873 games Fielder batted .325'
He also scored 119 runs, Ilttie
less than run per game; he
fielded .933.
In 1906 Jones was manager OF
the White Sox. He won the Am
erican league pennant and did the
unexpected when he fed the Sox
to victory over the Cubs, in the
worlds series.
That year Jones led all league
outfielders, with an average OF
.9SS, for 144 games and hit but
.230. Winning the big series
gave Jones about. all there was In
it for a player-manager, and ne
turned his attention to the lum-
Der business.

topped him by two points.

When the fans of this city
think of Fielder Jones, they
think of Fielder Jones the
president of the Northwest
ern league without hesitation.
When the fans of the entire
country think of Fielder
Jones they think of the ''hit-
less WONDER of the Ameri-
can league-the Chicago
White Sox which won n
worlds championship from
Frank Chances Cubs.
Jones, we all know, Is
president of our own little
league, and when he isn't
presidenting he is on duty as
q real lumber king.
Fielder Jones is considered the
wealthiest ex-ball player living.
He made a fortune in baseball,
because Charley Comiskey be-
lieves in paying men who deliver
the goods. and Jones invested
wisely, so that he was able to re-
fuse an offer of $4,000 a year TO
manage a major league club. He'd
have taken the offer If the owner
had agreed to sell him large
block of the club stock.
But who remembers Fielder A.
Jones as the work of Ned Han
lon, daddy of pennant winning
managers?
Fielder Jones was a good ball
player when he broke into the
majors in 1896, with Brooklyn.
Hanlon made him a better one.
He brought out of the youngster
everything he possessed.
Fielder Jones lived up to HIS
name. He was a fielder of the
Jimmy McAleer and Walter
Brodie type. And that's the last
word in baseball. He had every
thing that goes to make up a ball
player, gentleman and a great
leader. He was fast, could hit,
and his fielding was marvellous.
When Jones quit to enter the
lumber business in 1908, base
ball lost an idol. Comiskey, 1t Is
said. handed Jones a blank, sign
ed contract and told him to name
his own figure to lead the team,
but the Old Roman refused to
part with stock, SO Fielder, like
Bill Lange, quit.
President f. A. Jones of the
Northwestern league lives In
Portland, Ore, with offices in the
Chamber of Commerce building,
He also handles his Immense
lumber interests from this office
In 1893 Brooklyn won the pen
nant and repeated In 1900. In
'99 Jones, in 95 games, fielded
.946 and batted .286; in 1900 he
fielded $50 and batted .309 for
SO games.
Jones saw a fat contract when
the American league began raid
ing the National in 1901. and
jumped to the Johnson organfza-
tion.
He went to Chicago, and Chi
cago won the pennant that year.

greatest of pitchers. And those
who appreciate the work the "Big
Moose" has done for the Sox can
realize how Jones feels.
Jones began his career at Bing-
hampton, N. Y, in 1895. He
was with Springfield next, and
with Brooklyn from 1896 to
1900. From 1901 to 1908 he
was with the White Sox. This Is
his baseball career of IA years.
He was born at Single House,
Pa, which has been on the map
ever since its favorite son down
ed the Cubs. He was born Aug
ust 13, 1871, so he is Al.
Jones says that he believes
baseball is improving all the
time.
