The Game


at bat. The first three men up went
down in order. Cony could do moth
ing with Benson's delivery in the first
session and after Purinton and Has
kell had famed, Taber managed to
reach first on an error by Dyer, and
promptly stole both second and third.
There he died, for Wyer's high fly to
center was taken care of by Quimby.
Brennan started off the second inning
by striking out the first three men
that faced him. Cony went down in
the one, two, three order also.
In the third Leavitt started scor-
ing. Thomas, the first man, was hit
in the shoulder, took second on Bren-
mans wild heave, and third on pass
ed ball by Calvert. Gould struck out.
Benson sacrificed to Murphy and
Thomas came across with the first tai
ly of the game. Briggs famed.
Two Runs for Leavitt
Leavitt scored two runs in the
fourth on two two-baggers and sin
gle. Leavitt, the first man up in this
inning, lifted a screecher to left, for
two bases. Parker followed suit,
sending Leavitt across the plate.
Quimby grounded to Purinton, who
threw him out at first. Dyer singled
to left, scoring Parker. On an at
tempt to steal second the Leavitt
catcher was nailed, Calvert to Muir
ply. Lawrence struck out.
Leavitt secured two more tallies in
the sixth and eighth innings, the one
in the sixth coming as the result OF
Parker's single and Quimbys two bag
ger. The other in the eighth came

lit flied out to Purinton. Parker took
first on a free ticket, Quimby was hit
by Brennan. Dyer followed with
single, scoring Parker.
Ninth Inning Rally Futile

real excitement began. Cony had been

Benson safely in such way that
the cIout allowed him to reach second
He then took third on Parker's pass
ball. Wyer, the next man up, looked
bad to Benson and he was purposely

point. Froberger slammed one to
Lawrence at second, who in ATTEMPT

the heavy hitters. Brennan worked

Artificial Waterways.

A concise and practically complete
history of the development and present
condition of artificial waterways is
what A. Barton Hepburn gives us in
his Artificial Watersways of the
World"
The salient facts as to artificial wa
terways and their relation to CONNER
cial development are given. In addi-
ton to the history of canal systems of
different countries there are such gen.
eral considerations as "The Conserva-
ton of Our Resources" and "The Re-
lation of Canals and Railways"
A chapter is devoted to the Panama
Canal-its cost, construction and COM
pletion, its prospective commercial ad-
vantage and a statistical description
of it.

How the Canal PAYS.

The Panama Canal, which cost ev-
cry American citizen $4 has already
paid for itself in the new national as
set of National Prestige, according to
Arthur Bullard. No other event in our
history, Mr.. Bullard says, not even the
Spanish-American War, has done so
much to make other powers recog-
nize our claim to a place among the
frst-class powers of the world.
In the latest edition of his book on
Panama" Mr.. Bullard has added two
chapters, Finishing the job" and "The
Profit" In the final chapter he shows
that the canal has already paid the
American people in new standards of
public honor, of common-sense ideals.
of Straightforward administration. And
then he points out that from a purely
dollars-and-cents point of view the
canal will pay for itself. since it is
assuming commercial importance
that not even its builders would have
predicted.

The Literary Trawler

If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all men
doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubling,
too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in lies;
Or being hated don't give way to hat
ing,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk
too wise;
If you can dream-and not make
dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Dis
And treat those two imposters just the
same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've
spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for
fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
life to, broken
And stoop and build 'em up with worn
out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your
winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and
toss,
And lose, and start again at your be-
ginnings
And never breathe a word about your
loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve
and sinew
To serve your turn long after they
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the will which says to them,
Hold on"
If you can talk with crowds and keen
your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the COM
mon touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none
too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance
run,
Yours is the earth and everything
that's in 1t
is more-you1l be Man.

BONE.YARD HISTORY.

Where should the "bone-yard" &c
next?
Cleanliness and sanitation have not
always been popular; dirt has too Of
ten been the roommate of man, and
he has been slow to give up this fel-
low. Every mans floor used to be his
bone-yard, where table scraps were
thrown, filth of all kinds allowed to
accumulate and only once a year
cleaned out. Then, perhaps, it was
banished no farther than the yard. FL
nally it dawned on man that this was
the cause of most of his disease and
OF recurrent plaques and pestilences.
He moved his boneyard out of the town
into the neighboring pasture.
There it has remained until today,

bone-yard and the dumpheaps among
their institutions. They haul their
trash just outside the city limits and
dump it into small stream or ditch.
For a city to use such a method in
taking care of the refuse which sewers
cannot dispose of is not up to modern
standards. 1t takes an evil away from
one locality only to shoulder it on
another. The approved method of to-
day is to use fire. More and more
small towns are beginning to install
incinerator plants, and with the cost
of these plants decreasing, it be-
comes more and more the duty of all
cities to burn their refuse.
Kick the bone-yard into the fire.

pie and of the history of this little
neck of land of such big Importance
reads more like a romance than like
"the most authoritative and up-to-date
work on Panama yet published" Mr..
Bullard saw with the eyes of the great
traveller he is and recorded what he
saw in a most pleasing and intimate
style. His account is never preten-
tious, more like big news-story than
| a book of travel, a sort of glorification
of journalistic writing.
Mr.. Bullard begins his story at the
beginning, with the first coming OF
white men to Panama, and leads the
reader through the history of that
picturesque country. The last voyage
of Columbus; Papama's part in the
conquest of Peru; the days when the
Isthmus was the great trade road by
which the gold of the Incas, the silver
of the mines of Potosi and all the
wealth of the Southern Sea went to
Spain; the exploits of Sir Francis
Drake and the English sea-dogs in the
Spanish Main; tales of the pirates OF
the next two centuries; Panama's de-
cline; her fight for liberty and annex

work of Goethals, Gorgas and the 9TH

Princess Mary will have no difficulty
in getting a job as stenographer or

she has made herself invaluable to her
father, and has been acting as sort of
extra special private secretary to the

OLD MISSOURI!

A most successful year for Missouri
Is that which is drawing to a close this
month. The crop value for the year
1914, according to a report by the
State Board of Agriculture, is nearly
$10,000,000 above the average of the
last five years.
The corn yield for the state is lit
tie more than 175,OO0,OOO bushels,
which means that the Missouri farmer
has grown about 100000 bushels
more corn than he grew in 1918.
Atchison County leads with a yield
of 5,715,OOO bushels. Nodaway is next
with nearly five million. Good farm
ing and fairly favorable season in
this part of the state and along the
western border made possible the
yields of 1914.
The board of Agriculture estimates
the 1914 wheat yield at 36,933,501
bushels, harvested from a little more
than two million acres. This makes
a yield of III bushels per acre, which |
is the same as the preliminary esti-
mate made at the time of harvesting.
Missouri's yield this year is valued |
at over a million dollars for every |
county in the state, yield that makes
every Missourian's heart glad, not only
because of the success of the individ-
ual farmer but because the states
name remains at the head of the list
OF leading agricultural states.

PETROGRAD (By mail to New
York)-A Russian sister of mercy
named Yevgheneeya Korkeenah, has
been decorated with the band of st
George and medal in recognition of
her remarkable bravery and devotion
in moving, singlehanded, field hos
pital under fire.
Mile. Korkeenah was working in a
Russian hospital in the neighborhood
of Soldau, East Prussia. When the
Germans attacked the Russian posi-
tion she remained all alone in the hos
pital attending to the wounds of Off
GERS and privates. The hospital was
quickly in the zone of the enemy's fire,
and the brave nurse seeing that her
patients must be moved, went outside
and procured a number of horses,
harnessed them, found several vehicles
and drove them away to place of
safety. The hardships and dangers
which Nurse Korkeenah experienced
have greatly affected her health, and
she has come to Petrograd with view
to taking short vacation, before re-
turning to the front. The Minister of
War personally presented the medal
and decoration, and thanked her for
her heroic services.
