'CHASE WILL NOT

Star White Sox First Stacker
Gladdens Heart of Boss
Gleason.

Paso Robes, Cal, March 5.-The
heart of Boss Gleason was gladdened
on getaway day by the receipt of a
letter from Hal Chase announcing that
the first base virtuoso would report to
the White Sox by the end of this week
in Oakland. Chase made no reference
to the Federal league, and gave no
alibi for his failure to be on hand here,
except to say that he had been doing
outdoor work for several weeks and
was in good condition. That was all
the athletes came here for, anyway.
The return of Chase to the fold
came as a surprise to nearly all hands,
although Boss Gleason expressed the
opinion that there never was anything
in the Federal league stuff so far as
Chase was concerned, because Hal
was too wise ball player, he thought.

Good farms and good roads go to-

france has a better road system and
more good roads in proportion TO its
area than any other country of the
same or greater size. Has France ru-

has it good roads because of it's thrifty
peasantry?
1t is. therefore, for us in this country

example. but as the example of the

solve our problem in any other way

broken out there. The ship in which
he sailed was wrecked. and he and a
young assistant offered to go into tina

For about ten minutes they strug-
gled through dense and swampy jun
gle. Suddenly the younger man cried
out with pain. Going to his aid, DR..
Verhagen noticed three leeches attach
ed to his arm. They were of veD-
omous variety that cling to the lower
branches of the bushes awaiting their
prey and. not content with gorging
themselves ON blood, inject into the
wound poison that causes acute pain.
While DR.. Verbagen was helping his
assistant innumerable leeches attached
themselves to his face and neck. To
free him from them the young man
had to scrape his skin with a sharp
stone. Exhausted by loss of blood.
the doctor managed to crawl back TO
the wreck of the ship, where he faint

following day, and it was several
weeks before he recovered. One of
his eyeballs was totally destroyed by

To illustrate the bullet resisting pow

separate occasions had been instru-
mental In saving ais life in the course

In one instance he was knocked off
his horse by the impact of bullet and
became unconscious, only to find on re

wallet had prevented the bullet enter
ing his body. On the second occasion.
at Plevna, the Bible, which he had
placed in a side pocket, detected
heavy piece of shrapnel that threaten
ed to end his existence.
He had kept the wallet intact as a
memento of his escape, and one of the
journalists who was examining it's
contents came, by curious coinci-
dence, upon a letter which he himself
had indited to the war correspondent
some thirty or forty years ago, the
very existence of which he had en-
tirely forgotten.
In the letter he had expressed tho
hope that his friend would return safe
