shown a film setting forth sentimental
story of good fellowship between soldiers
of the north and south in the civil war.
A Union scout found a Confederate
sharpshooter behind a rock. desperately
wounded, and carried him to the Union
camp, where he was tenderly cared for.
One would hardly expect particular neat
ness of clothing in such circumstances

A Progressive Speller.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Justice y. III. Mandanzehls commit
ment of Joseph Roye, colored. to the
house of correction may be lacking in
legal essentials. but his spelling Is not
open to criticism by those who admire
picturesqueness and originality. When he

he may have offended against the prin-

ary feat that would have endeared him
to Shakespeare and created envy in the
mind of Dogberry. Any man can take
a dictionary and spell according to stu
pid custom: II takes a man of genius to
make fresh combinations of the alphabet
and a man Of courage to disdain the beat
en- track of spelling. Mr.. MandanZehl
has the secret admiration of a host of
us who are weak on dictionary forms,
and we are sure he will never be re-
called from the bench by popular vote
as long as he manifests this progressive
and independent spirit against the

players, and do not pay so mucn at
tentiOn to the visitors. They are too
busy getting a line on their own
prides to keep close track of young
men employed by the enemy.
These conditions make it harder
for the youngsters to break in before
home crowds than on the road. The
fact that the Sox will be away from
the South Side for about three weeks
will be a great help to Chappe1 if
he is to make good.
He has been with the SOX just
about week, and his showing was
not impressive. When it was figured
out that in players and money COmis-
key paid the Milwaukee club nearly
$4,000 for the oUtfelder the fans
expected him to get right out there
and bust up the league. He didn't do
it. In fact, his showing was medi-
OGRE, and when the Sox left for the
East there were already murmurs be-
ing heard that Commy had picked a
ounce. Maybe he has, but ii. is en-
tireIy too early to arrive at such
conclusion.
Chappeu was up against a tough
proposition. He had been the most
press-agented outfielder who ever
came up from the minors. On his
first day cameras snapped him at
the plate, they shot him running to
first, and recorded his physique in all
sorts Of positions. This was not par
ticularly good for the young mans
nerve. He was more closely watched
by the fans than were all the other
players on the field. He knew his
slightest slip would be noted.
He weathered the first few days
without committing any painful mis-
takes, but in the last game against
Washington pulled a pair of throws
that were horrible to behold. They
were punk, and the fans showed their
disgust. Now, if Fourier or Collins
had made those throws, it would

TOOLS FOR THE FARMER.

Save Money, Time and Temper by
Having the Proper Equipment.
Every farmer should keep good tools,
so that during bad weather. when work
cannot be Gone in the fields, repairs
may be made. This work can be done
in the shop. = small shop nay be
built cheaply.
There are many repairs that will be
needed during the year. Buildings will
need repairs. implements need fixing.
fence materials are to be cut and put
up, new devices, handy, contrivances,
ETC., made. y mar handy with tools
can save much expense during the year,
and the tools will give him employ
mont when perhaps his time would not
be profitable otherwise. Boys usually
find pleasure in using carpenters tools.
Il. B. White of the agricultural en-
g1neerinS department Of the University
OF Minnesota gives the following list
OF tools that the average farmer should

The best plan is to buy good tools.
Cheap tools will seldom give satisfac-
ticn. Then the tools should be kept in
a TOOL box in the shop or some place
where they can be protected. When
ever you have finished with one always
put it back III its place.
Tools to DO truly serviceable must
be kept sharp. No progressive person
can afford to waste time using duh
