Trusting housewives who have packed
away winter clothing with compounds
calculated to prevent the eneroachment

faeturers who misbrand their goods or

The last definite news of the where
abouts of Ciprano Castro, former die

Berlin from New York. After he left
the German capital he was reported to
have reached the Canary Islands, whence
he disappeared. He was later supposed
at various times to have been in Key
West, in Curacao and at Panama. Lat
er he was said to have departed for CO.
lombia, whittier his brother, Carmelo had
preceded him. The political situation in
Venezuela has occupied attention for
some time past, owing TO the fight from

Willy KING EDWARD |.
Fooled the RebeIlious Welsh With the
Prince of Wales.


After a lifelong struggle with the
Welsh. Edward !. of England sought
TO ascertain the cause of their constant
rebellion and was informed that they
would never be content until they had
a prince of their own.
The willy old monarch asked them IL
q prince born in Wales who could not
speak a word of English would be sat
isfactory. and they received the offer
with great enthusiasm, presuming that
the king meant one of their own flesh
and blood.
His queen. about to give birth to a
child, was hurried to the famous Caer-
narvon castle, where 600 years ago
Edward H.. the first prince of Wales.
was born. Thereupon King Edward,
carrying the newly born babe on the
ramparts of the castle. announced to
the multitude: Here is your prince,
born In your own country, who knows
no word of English and who, promise
you, shall be reared by Welsh foster
mother and shall learn your language.
Accept you him as your prince?"
In all the six centuries intervening
the eldest son of the king of England
has been invested and knoTn as the
Prince of Wales. In the year 1911 the
present Prince of Wales and the future
king of England was invested on the
same spot as his predecessor 600 years

INTERNATIONAL BASEBALL.
Ban Johnson Thinks Nations Will Com
pete in the Sport.

President Ban johnson of the Ameri-
can league said recently, discussing the
future of baseball, that he firmly be-
lieved that the game would in the
course of coming years become the one
of the few real international sports in
which teams of countries in all parts of
| the world could meet and compete. As
matter Of fact, baseball is already an
1 international game, although the ealibre
| of play abroad does not, of course, equal
that displayed by teams in the United
States. Wherever Americans migrate
and settle there baseball is played, just
as Englishmen carry cricket with them
to all parts of the world. There is a
difference, however, in that baseball has
proved more popular than cricket among
the natives OF such lands
The game has won favor and is played
in Cuba, Japan. China, Mexico, South
America, Porto Rico, Philippines, France,
Australia, Sweden, Germany and even
in England to slight extent. The
tours of Cuban, Chinese and Filipino
teams no longer excite comment in this
country, and college mines find worthy
opponents in the Orient. The tour OF
the world by the combined Giants White
Sox forces during the coming winter
should add impetus to the sport abroad.
Another indication Of the growth OF
baseball interest in far-away lands is
shown in the trip of two Pacific Coast
promoters to Australia with view of
ascertaining whether the time has arr
rived for the establishment of profess
sional baseball league among the cities
of the Antipodos.
The game is played in the most I'M
usual and out-of theway places, former
fans found in the far corners of the
earth. For instance, baseball is the one
grcyg game of the short Alaska summer.
The rivalry between the various mining
camps is extremely keen, and large sums
of money frequently change hands on
the outcome OF game, since the Alaska
miner and colonist is ever ready to hack
his opinions and favorites with either
gold dust or regular currency. A num-
Der of former professional league and
college players are always available for
the teams, and the standard of play
compares favorably with that in the
states. The games are frequently play
ed under difficulties not experienced in
the east and middle west. At Ketchi-
kan, where the home games against
juneau are played, the only level stretch
of land suitable for diamond is along
the ocean edge Consequently the games
must be played at low tide, for twenty
feet OF water covers the home plate
when the Pacific sweeps in at high tide.

NICOTINE NOT AS
BAD AS REPRESENTED.

Practically all of the worlds gigan-
tic store of anti-tobaceo literature
is based upon four fundamental pro-
positions:
/. Tobacco contains nicotine.
which is a powerful narcotic and
poison.
2. In the process of smoking.
nicotine is absorbed in to the body
and produces or induces many deadly
maladies, including cancer. paralysis,
heart disease, bronchitis, blindness,
and tuberculosis.
3. Tobacco ~engenders a craving
for alehohol.

as pathological gospel in our public
schools. They are believed, with
more or less reservation, nine-tenths
of all laymen, including millions of
smokers. And yet it happens that
not n of them is entirely true. and
that the conclusion to which they
lead is incorrect, illogical, and ridicu-
lous.
Tobacco, 1t may be admitted very
freely. does contain nicotine, and
nicotine. considered as a beverage, is
decidedly narcotic and poisonous. But
1t happens that the drug is seldom,

other way, it does 50 in such small
amounts, and the body SO soon grows
immune to its effects, that it does no
harm whatever. Among civilized
human beings tobacco is commonly
smoked or chewed or snuffed. AT the
start, as every one knows, it causes
nausea and other painful symptoms.
The small boy, when he tackles his

WEST WILL BE FAIRLY con-

Senator Newlands. who leads the
protest of western senators against

statement Monday. defining the po-
sition of these senators toward tariff
reductions promised in the party
platform and predicting that the
party would loose some of its II
senators from west of the Missouri if
products of that region were discrim-
mated against in the new tariff act.
Eve have no doubt" said the
statement, that the viewpoint of the
west will be fairly considered. Our
platform demands that material re-
duetions' be speedily made on the
necessaries OF life, but il also de-
clares for the ultimate attainment of
the principles we advocate by legisla-
ton that will not injure or destroy
industry. We Of the west assume
that the principles will be applied to
western as we'll as eastern indus
