SIX INNINGS WITHOUT SCORE.
Hard Fought Battle Cut Short by
Rain at IittIetOn

What promised to be battle
royal was cut short by rain last Sat
urday, when the game at Littleton
was stopped at the end of the sixth
inning, with the score 90 A large
crowd motored over from here to see
the mighty Willard, and they were
not disappointed as he seemed to
have something on the ball, and only
Witt could find it safely. But ma
ture had plans other than providing
a day for a ball game, and at the
end of the sixth inning it was rain
ing so hard that the game had to be
called off. The features of the game
were the capture of a long fly by
J. Moore, and three one hand stops
by Scott. The score:

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS.
A Connecticut Car Climbed Bank on
Eastern Ave.

A fresh coat of oil on Eastern
avenue nearly caused a serious acci-
dent Monday morning when a Con-
necticut car which was running quite
rapidly struck a particularly Slip
perry place at the head of Cherry
street and skidded up the bank. The
driver with presence of mind head
ed the car directly up the bank by
the Universalist church, and Just
above the Woman's Club house sign.
The sign and hydrant beside it pre-
vented the car from over turning,
and causing serious damage
The car was owned by Mr.. Corwin,
who has been spending some time in
Greensboro. The party did not stop
after the accident but took the train
for Connecticut.
Car Went Down Bank.
Edward Provost had a narrow es-
cape Sunday morning when in at
tempting to pass a car on lower
Railroad street, he turned out too
far, and his car went into the soft
gravel at the edge of the road, and
down the embankement below. Mr..
Provost was taking his sister-in-Iaw.
father and two children for a short
spin before church, and as he went
down Railroad street there was a
car ahead, running very slowly,
which he wished to pass He sound
ed his horn, but when they didn't
turn out he tried to pass, and slid
off the bank. Though frightened,
the occupants were uninjured, and.
the car suffered no damage.

little talk has been heard about

A THEE cAuGHr

A man giving the name of Frank
Smith, who followed the circus into
town on Saturday last, stole a $40
bill out of the pocket of an empIoye
at the Fairbanks barn. The police
and sheriff were notified and Sheriff
Worthen caught the man as he was
about to take the west bound train
on the st. J. & L. G. road. He had
spent a part of the money for a
suit of clothes, but the sheriff re-
covered the remainder.

RUSSIAN COAT BACK AGAIN
Some New Ideas Noted In This Gar
ment Which Never Really Has
Lost All Favor.

1t Is interesting to notice that the
Russian coat had been revived in de-
cidedly modified form ere we thought
that Russia would be so much in the
war news.
A new idea in this respect is to have
the coat contrasting color to the
skirt.
For instance, an ultra-smart model
had a quite plain black velvet skirt of
a comfortable walking length, the coat
being cerise, bordered with black fox
The hat that accompanied this had a
certain suggestion of military form in
it's outline and was carried out in black
velvet with doublure of cerise, the
brim softened with black fox.
Another original and attractive idea
is the eton coat, from which falls
deep basque, which is neatly plated,
although it must be confessed that 1t
is more often slightly draped. AS
matter of fact the basques extend to
the hem of the skirts and have the ap-
pearance of tunic. These coats are
very economical, as they can be worn
with a great variety of skirts. Again,
their aspect can be metamorphosed
by waistcoats; of this accessory spe-
cial feature is being made.
Furthermore, the sash occupies a
prominent role and is arranged some
inches below the waist line The tight
fitting coats have passed into the
realm of things forgotten, the new
models being all semi-ftting, some
having clusters of plaits at the side be-
low the belt or sash. Clusters of plaits
on the skirt are a novelty that has
much to commend 1t. Generally speak
ing the fashions for the coming season
are characterized by good taste ana
are of a far more solid nature than
we have been accustomed to for some
time. Velvet Is making a bid Tor Ia
vor, and as there is nothing more be-
coming it is safe to predict that 1t will
have a heightened period of prosper
ity

Qriuin of Mark Twain Story.

Of all the witty things said Or writ
ten by Mark Twain no phrase has
been quoted oftener than his reply to
an alarmist report, "Rumor of my
death greatly exaggerated" The his
tory of this now celebrated bon mot
will doubtless be of interest. Mark
Twain was on visit to London some
years ago, and had been secured as
the chief guest at dinner to be
given by a literary club. On the
morning of the day when the dinner
was to take place the secretary was
shocked to hear rumor that Mark
Twain had died suddenly. At his
wits end, he sought to verify it by
diplomatic note to Mrs. Clemens, in
which he mentioned the rumor.
Mark Twain got hold of the note and
telegraphed the now famous reply,
"Rumor of my death greatly exag-
gerated" From after Dinner
Stories," by N. c. Fowler, Jr.

LITTERATEUR HARD AT WORK
Ordinary Mortal Had to Wait While
Budding Genius Secured Founda-
tion for Story.

A Brooklyn drug clerk tells of a
man who came into his shop for the
purpose Of consulting the directory.
He stood first on one foot and then
on the other, watching the young
woman who had got possession Of the
volume. She was a nice, leisurely
sort of young person, and she had a
large sheet Of paper that she spread
out upon the counter beside the direc-
tory, and on which she now and then
inscribed name from the volume.
The man became a little impatient.
He coughed significantly, and the
young woman turned to look at him.
Il beg your pardon" she said, but
do you wish to consult the directory"
Now, as the young woman was pref
ty, the man shifted from one foot to
the other and said uneasily: No
hurry; don't let me disturb YOU"
Whereupon she resumed the direc-
tory. Several minutes elapsed. At
last she closed the book with sigh
of satisfaction. THANK you," said
she, sweetly Il am afraid / have
kept you waiting. But, you see, l am
going to write a short story in prize
contest, and / really didn't know how
to begin until | had picked out the
names for NY characters"

great Increase in the use of veilings
which this seasons demand Is already

Inc altblack hat is no whit more

with black hats to be peeping into

Blue and dark green "e.ls are ex-

F1let meshes are the leading style

advanced and are decorated with
Dlack velvet squares as an added dis

chiffon are draped and decorated
with tassels and used for wear with

Queer Husband.

unfortunately they quarreled and the
exhibits were equally divided between
them. The wife decided to continue
business as an exhibitor at the old adj

After some years wandering the prod
igal returned and reconciliation took
place, as the result Of which they be-
came business partners once more. A

of laughter on reading the following
notice in the papers: "By the return of
my husband my stock of freaks has

ControllinQ the Child.

The man or woman who has made
self-control habit by willing to keep
from doing this or that, or by willing
to do this or that is the moral man
or woman.
We have been working in the
wrong way on the problem of cstab-
fishing self-control in little children.
We have been putting the cart before
the horse by trying to force our con-
troll upon the children instead of aim
ing to establish their own self-control.
To say to child, Don't cry!" BE
quiet" Don't break anything"
Don't get angry" is worse than USE
less. We must begin, almost in baby
hood, to teach children that control
which will give them the power to re-
strain and direct their bodies and
their emotions.

Value of the "OId Man."

How about the "old man" and the
apprentice? | have always felt and
contended in my work that the "old
man." as he is slightingly referred to-,
has a place In industry. His expert
ence is valuable. He can be used as
trainer and coach. He may not be
fast, but he is sure. He may, on the
other hand, prove to be both skillful
and rapid on certain work. At any
rate, for the sake of his past services
don't turn him adrift. If he is too old
and cannot work pension him. If he
can work find out what is best for
him to do and give him a schedule
with a sufficient allowance added
thereto to justify him in continuing
to do his best. 1t won't cost much, Ii
anything. The apprentice should also
have an allowance added to his SEIZED
ule that will warrant him in exerting
himself. The apprentice, the average
mechanic and the "old man" will have
different wage rates, SO there Is little
likelihood of a clash on account Of
bonus earnings .-Engineering Maya,

What Makes a Girl Popular.

Every girl has the perfectly natural

life. The free-and-easy, reckless type
Of girl may receive good deal Of
attention Of certain kind, but it is
safe to say that men do not really
care for such a girl. Certainly they
do not have any respect for her. They
may enjoy summer filtration with
her, but such a girl never enters seri-
ously into their thoughts. The girl
who is kind and thoughtful to her par

The girl who Is disrespectful to her
parents will not long retain the re-
