There was nothing very difficult
about the examination conducted by
the state civil service commission in
Knox county and in each county seat
of the state Saturday afternoon, of
applicants for deputy county assessor
jobs.
Questions that were simple and
practical were asked the hundreds of
applicants who took the examination.
There was nothing technical about the
test. Tho nature of the inquiries was
such as to bring out whether or not
the men who want to do the assessing
have general knowledge such as
would be necessary in this kind of
work.
ton, they were asked to give the
length of the terms of the president,
governor, congressman, United States
senators and county officials. They

ant measures had been enacted into
law by congress the past year.

TO BUILD
THE Home
For FriendIeSS Children In
The Spring
Commissioners Explain Delay
In The Matter
Governed By Laws Which
| Must Be ObGyed
An Administrator Removed
In An Estate
Other Items OF Interest From
Temple OF Justice

Monday morning the county com.
missioners gave out the following
statement as to the cause of the delay
in building the children's home:
1--WE expect to build the children's
home the coming summer, beginning
as soon as the weather will permit
in the spring, with the money left af-
ter purchasing the farm.
''We made several trips to see
homes in other counties. The child
ren's home at Marysville, which cost
$4,000, came the nearest to suiting
our views.
1--WE took the matter up with our
architects and they gave us plan
which the state board of charities
would not accept, and the kind they
would accept would cost more money
than we had at command, so the mat
ter was dropped until the money in
the hands of the old board of trustees
of the children's home could be turned
over to us, which required an act of
the legislature. This was accom-
plished and approved by the governor,
May 3, 1913.
"All that is necessary now is an
order from court to turn the money
over to the present board of commits
sioners.
"If we coud have had our wish full
filled, Knox county's children's home
would have been completed by the
present time, but owing to the above
circumstances we have been delayed.
"As county commissioners, we are
under bond and governed by laws per
tanning to our office, and we respect
the law, knowing that it must be
obeyed regardless of how slow it may
operate.
"We do not expect to build as fine
home as the one in Franklin county
but we do expect to build as fine a
home as we possibly can with the
money at our command, for Knox
| county's friendless children are as
dear to her as Franklin county's
children are to it,"

This game officially closed the tour, the party sailing from Liverpool for New York on February 27.
 More than TO games were played in all during the trip and the list would have been larger but for rain which made play impossible at Paris.

s3 ; Ezt
 old time baseball fans will feel reminiscent glow warm the cookies of their hearts when their eyes fall on the following name, viz: Sam Thompson. They will pronounce it with reverence, just as present day fanatics vilI re- were the names of Cobb and Wag- ner when those mighty men have shelved their clubs and put their gloves away among the mothbaIls Sam Thompson was born in Da1n- vile, Ind, f1fty-four years ago to- day, and he became the Ty Cobb of the old Detroit National Lea que aggregation Nine seasons he swatted the pill over Che 300 mark and two years he passed the 400 mark.
 Thompson was reared in In- siiana-reared to height Of six feet and two inches. He was well past twenty when he discovered baseball, and twenty-fhree when
 baseball disccaered him. His first season in league uniform was with Evansville, Ind. In 1885 he graduated from. the minors and joined the Indianapolis club. At. the close of the season the Hoo sier metropolis team went on the EOCkS aIAeA 4AaOAnpSOIA was 4E1tAAAs- ferred to Detroit, then member of the National League. His sec ond year with Detroit, 1887, fin- ished with the pennantl nailed to the flagstaff of the Michigan me- tropoIis.
 It was a great team that copped the bunting for Detroit in 1887. Thompson, who played right gar den and sWatted the ball for .406, was surpassed by the great Dan Brouthefs, who covered first and hit to the tune of .419.. Every member of the club except the battery men, batted over 300, and Catcher o. W. Bennett, 36s, and Pitcher c. B. Baldwin, BAT, were in the same class. Ned Hanlon, afterward the famous leader of fhe Baltimore Orioles, covered cenfref1eId for the Tigers that year and batted .316. Others Of Thompson's teammates were Pitchers Getzein and Conway, CatcFers GanzeI and Brfody, Hardie Richardson, Fred Dunlop, White, Shindle, Rowe and TWifch- ell.
 Thompson left Detroit for Phil adeIphia in 1889 and remained with the Quaker City team until his retirement in 1898. Except for brief period with Detroit as pinch hitter, Thompson was never again seen in the spangles of pro- fessfonaI baseball, and devoted himself to a f1ourishing real es- tate business in Detroit, the city where he had won his baseball fame. ~z
