Columbia, Tenn.-"Many a time,"

homework.
The least amount OF work tired me
out. My head would swim, and | would
tremble for an hour or more. Finally, |
look Cardui, the woman's tonic, and |
am not bothered with pains any more,
and don't have TO go to bed. In fact,
| am sound and well of all my troubles"

THE sLAv

10 this to be the era OF the Slav?
One by one the races of Europe
have come to the front and exercised
a dominant influence in world poll
tics and in industrial and CONNER
cial development. The past hall cen
fury has been distinctly the era OF
the Anglo-Saxon. Following the de-
eat OF Napoleon and the crushing
overthrow OF French power, Great
'Britain's triumphs on the cas- de
veloped her colonies and carried her
nag to the remotest sections of the
earth. There are many signs hat the
commercial and maritime supremacy
OF Great Britain is waning. Germany
has become a powerful rival. Ger
nan manufacturers are pushing the
British In their best markets. and
the German navy has been pushing
the English TO their most strenuous
efforts in the desperate race for lead
ership.
Now comes the Slav TO the front.
-Four years. e William T. Stead
wrote a magazine article showing
that the annual increase in the poBu.
lation of Russia since 1904 had been
2.464.0OO. or more than that of Ger
many. Great Britain. Italy. Austria
Hungary and France combined. The
conclusion was that Slav ascen lency
in Eastern and Central Europe was In.
evitable. Now a writer in the Fort
the world that the territory of Russia
Is seventy times as large as that OF
the United Kingdom, forty times as
large as Germany. and more thar
twice as large as the whole continent
OF Europe. Germany has 81. 00O. O00
Inhabitants and Austria-Iiungary has
$1,000. 900. while the Russian empire
has 40. 00O. 900. The natural increase
OF Russia is about 5000. 900 a year. a.
against $4,000 for Germany. and 40.
200 for Austria-Huneary. Entirely
apart from the 10000. 900 Russian.
there are 10000. 900 Slavs in tho Bal
kan Peninsula and in Austria-H Hun
gary.
The racial sentiment among the
Slavs Is undoubtedly the most power
full and the most dangerous innucnc,
in Europe. The SlaVs OF Russia vii

Balkan States TO he robbed OF m,

1t is true. that, conditions Of life
here and la England are somewhat

hcient explanation OF this orgy OF
murder. Perhaps an explanation Is
found in the fact that in England
practically every murderer Is tried
and punished promptly Convictions
are obtained in almost all cases. and
the mandate of the law. whether IL BE-
imprisonment or execution. is prompt

CHICKS ARE
RESTLESS
Hope to Get Started Again
Tomorrow in Game Against
SCOtt'S Team
JACKSON GETS
ANOTHER TWIRLER

Weather permitting, the Chicks
will line up against the team of the
purchasing department of the Penn
sylvania Railroad at Front and Union
lark tomorrow afternoon. Bub Scott,
the old Tri-Stater, who is some pitch
er when he gets on edge, will be on
the mound against the boys of Camp
jackson. Scott is looking forward
Go having lots of fun out of this game
and the railroaders feel that they are
going to dress the Chicks down con-
siderably. The game will be fast
one, however, as Jackson is very much
disappointed over the weather of the
last week, and will send the boys
out on the field with instructions to
make up for lost time and training.
The Chick twirling squad received
another boost yesterday, when Jack
son secured another good pitcher in
the person of w. II. Keltz, of the
Philadelphia Yanigans The latest
addition stands feet 2 inches in his
stockings, and weighs about 100
pounds. The big boy looks to be in
the best of condition, and no doubt
will be a great aid to jackson. When
the boys landed in town it was evil
dent that Jackson had a well-rounded
team capable of playing good bali,
but II was manifestly weak in the
hurling department. Being rather
late in the season to start to build up
hurting staff, many of the fans were
in sore distress, but Jackson took
a fling around the circuit, and the re-
suit is that today the Chicks have
the strongest hurling staff of any
team in the league. OF course there
may be better individual pitchers and
one good pitcher is many times more
valuable to a team than the rest of
its staff, but, weighing them in total,
Jackson has gotten together a pretty
little bunch of tossers, who will be
sure to make their presence known
I'm the league this year. The staff
consists of Brown, Russell, Robinson,
Keetz, Connell and Call.
Russell, from Baltimore, hit town
yesterday afternoon and Immediately
donned Chick uniform and proceed
ed to smoke up It will be remem-
bered that Russell was some guns
with Reading last year. but the
10y has shown a hundred per cent.
Improvement since he has had little
Experience with the Baltimore Inter-
n tionals. He is ready to 20 into the
BOX for the full nine innings, and is
Seally in better condition than any
member of the staff.
Jackson has decided to keep Harry
Fritz on the third sack. Mack thinks
third is Harry's only salvation. and
has requested that Jackson keep him
in the infeld, where he will have a
chance to develop.

is expected tonight, and Malaria, whC

Y. M. c. A. BOYS MAKE
HIT IN CIRCUS STUNTS

Performers of the Great Six Paw
Circus were busy yesterday morning
removing the straw and pegs from
the circus ground, as required by the
municipal authorities, while the cir
Gus treasurer is busy counting up the
profits that we're made during the
two-day performance that was given
in this city on Friday and Saturday
nights I'm the Y NJ c. A. gymnasium
The circus was the most successful
ever given at the Y. M. G. A., and
some Of the stunts pulled of would
have made a hit with a crowd of first
nighters on Broadway. The two per-
formances were attended by more
than 400 people Ninety performers
took part and delighted the audiences.
The Haymakers' dance, with the
boys dressed in funny costumes was
one of the big laughs of the evening,
and contained plenty of action from
start to finish. he dancers were III.
l.. Yarris. F. NJ. Brown and Dudley
Grey. The long horse work by the
employed boys was exceptionally fine
and contained several difficult faats
that were well done The Jap-a-Lac
troupe was another feature that drew
much applause. Charles Schaffer
brought down the house with his
funny pantomime boxing stunt, but
the hit of the evening was the balloon
ascension by Professor Dudley Grey.
who hung in the air when his para
chute refused to work, and for sew
eral moments the audience was in
terror until the young balloonist, by
the most clever head work and daring
skill made a safe landing La Petite
Madamoiselle, George Plumber, also
made a great hit.
