when the score was tied at one-alL
Buck opened with a wild throw,
and, after one run had been scored,
two were out and the bases full,
BOdie dropped a fly directly in his
hands. The result was three runs.
In the seventh SchaIk threw the ball
to left field, handing the Yanks an
other, and in the eighth Mayer, who
claims to be the equal of SChalk, re-
peated the performance.
Jasper in two innings was hit twice.
Cicotte had been struck safely three
times in six frames.
These misCues were due the SoX,
as they have been playing excellent
defensive ball behind sterling pitching
the past few games, and it is well
they all got together. and got rid of
the weird stuff in one afternoon.
The most encouraging features of
recent SOx performances is the in
creased batting of Chase and Collins,
and the manner in which the last
named fellow is running the bases.
With proper assistance Shane should
steal twice as many bags as he does
in a season. He has the speed, starts
at the right time, and slides well. But
of ten the batters fail to cover him,
and he is nailed.
Lately the Sox have been taking
more chances on the bases. They
have not been waiting for the long
hits that never came, but try to get
in position to count on an infeld bin
gle. The program is bringing results,
as the percentage table shows.
Chase is bringing up his batting
mark, and a goodly proportion of his
smashes are for extra bases. An ex-
tra-base hitter is a Iong-felt want on
the SOX team.
Demmitt, too, is continuing his bat
ting, and seldom goes a game without
at least one safety.
Sam Crawford batted two singles,

Does . Meter Reader Work?

Few people realize how many mo. tions meter readers have to go through in collecting the information necessary for making up electric bills. Some interesting facts are brought out in the analysis of a meter readers movements in a town of 17,000 people. as presented in the Electrical World.
 The data show that 2S hours was required in reading 730 meters. Dur. ing that time 6S1 stairs were climbed and 1867 doors had to be opened In travelling from one consumers house to the next the meter reader tray. ersed BOA blocks and crossed streets 314 times.
 These figures suggest that consId- erable time could be saved the men, while inconvenience could be spared the customers. If meters were in- stalled in more accessible places, such as. for instance, on back porches.

Only a Little Mouse.

In an uptown church Sunday even Ing. when the pastor had got we'll into his sermon, he noticed an unusual commotion among the choir. at his right. For time he tried to ignore 1t, but the trouble became so lively that he felt it his duty to rebuke the singers in loud voice. The disturb ance finally quieted down and the ser mon proceeded with due dignity. A member of the choir managed to com municate to the much annoyed pastor the cause of the disturbance before the services were concluded. It was a mouse-only little mouse. But with the perversity of it's kind. this little mouse had managed to get under the skirts of one of the ladies.

Origin of Gibraltar.

The tar" in Gibraltar" Is a con. traction of Taric or Tariff, the name of famous pirate of medieval times. The whole word may be translated as mountain or cliff of Taric" This same root tar" occurs in the word tariff" which has such familiar sound to most of us now. Taric after a time came to levy tax or tariff on passing vessels instead of robbing them out right. In this way our word tariff had it's origin. It is interesting to note also that this robber was further hon pred by having the town of Tariffa, near Gibraltar, named for him.

HIS LIFE SAVED BY A BET
Ills Wager. Absolutely Ignored Summons of Death.

When Colonel Hay, notorious for his love of gambling and betting. was se- verely wounded in the Peninsular war. two brother officers came across his apparently lifeless body.
 Poor Hay! He's gone at last" said one named Windsor
 A faint voice came from the ground: I'll lay you a cool hundred he's not" His death seemed only a question of minutes. but he contin- ued: Enter the bet, and you. Mars tom addressing the other officer be witness
 He then tainted. When he was taken to hospital the surgeon told him the bullet could only be removed by saw ing through two ribs and introduce ing a childs hand to extract 1t, as forceps could not touch it. The chances are" he added. that you will die under the operation"
 "If Winsor will make his bet double or quits, I'll consent" said the colo nel
 Winsor agreed.
 Now saw away" said Hay T won't die" And he did not.
 But for that bet" he said after wards, T should be a dead man: it was my determination to win 1t that kept me alive.''

Origin of the Cossacks.

Back in the Middle Ages the south. eastern steppes of Europe from the Dnieper to the Ural mountains, con sisted of waste lands, uninha bited and wild To this country, the Ukraine. came daring hunters, runaway serfs, all manner of adventurous spirits and outlaws. Gradually they grew to. gether in communities and began to make raids upon both Christian and Turk. From the Turk, their great est enemy. they got the name Cos. sacks. which means freebooters.

BUCK UP.

The south has powers of recupera- tion and resistance greater than those of any other part of the country.
 It is high time that all of our gloomy and crying ones abandon the shadows of the wailing walls and get out in the sunlight.
 The condition that confronts us is extraordinary. It is brought about by the hatreds of other nations rath- CT than by natural causes
 We have had three splendid cotton crops. We sold the two previous crops at good prices. We have tremen- dous cotton crop in the fields now.
 The profits made in the last two years are not here to be used in car rying over the present crop. Our peo- pie have spent the money, invested it in more land or in other slow realiza- tion assets.
 The south owes less nancy now than it did this time last year. Our people are better able to stand drop in the market than they were in 1913.
 This war began the first of August. If those who were wise at that time had planted certain crops, those crops would now be ready to furnish some food for man and plenty of grazing for the beast.
 In September our people did begin to realize the necessity of growing food crops. They also practiced other economies.
 Some cotton is being sold Cotton seed has at low and at fair prices.
 Extraordinary demand for horses has helped certain sections of the south
 The lumber market is bad If the railroads were permitted to earn enough money to keep themselves out of the hands of the sheriff they would take much lumber at present prices
 Nature has been kind to us Until this good day we have had neither slight nor killing frost The grass is as green as it ordinarily is in May. This is tremendous factor in carry ing livestock through the winter.
 The credit of the southern banks in New York, Boston and Philadelphia is good. While some of our people were waiting upon the reserve board to print few bales of money our southern bankers secured their fall supply of money from the usual bank ing sources.
 Real estate is dull, but the dirt is there and it will stay. It is difficult to sell a plantation just now, but ev- cry acre of land in the south five years hence will be worth 30 per cent more than it is now.
 An army on the march often marks time rather than to get out of it's stride. When the Instructions in the front are removed the march forward begins and the army proceeds toward achieving it's purpose.
 The war in Europe has caused all of us to mark time, but it hasn't t talk en anything away from us. Very soon in the nature of things the for ward movement will again be resum- ed
 The things for all of us to do is to buck up. If we can't do all the busi- ness we want to, do as much as we can.
 If we cant pay all of our debts, let's pay part of them.
 If man owing us cannot settle in full, let him pay part, give him an ex- tension and encourage him to keep on working.
 We are better off today than any

SOME, CHICK DISEASES
HEAD LICE IN PARTICULAR ARE
SOURCE OF MUCH TROUBLE.
Dust Hen With Insect Powder, Spray
Coops With Disinfecta1t and Ruo
Ointment on Chicks Head
and Under Wings.

Lice, head lice in particular, while
not disease in themselves, are fer
tile source Of trouble and disease.
They are generally found where the
chicks are hatched by hens, the little
fellows appearing droopy, pale and
with some diarrhea, due to weakness.
Dust the hen with a good lice killer,
spray the coops with disinfectant and
rub little lice ointment on the
chicks head, under the wings and
around the vent.
While not so prevalent as some
times supposed, white diarrhea" is
a real menace, and here prevention is
the best remedy. Breed from strong,
healthy parent stock and avoid the
long, scrawny, crow headed hen, for
disease is transmitted through the egg.
Keep the incubator dark, feed good
nourishing food, separate suspected
chicks at once and disinfect thorough
~. If trouble is expected use white
diarrhea remedy in the drinking water
for the first ten days. 1t will save
many chicks, but will not cure the dis
ease or save badly infected ones.
Bowel trouble, due to improper feed
ing, is often mistaken for white diar-
rhea- Don't feed chicks until 4S
hours old, but give fine grit and fresh
water from the start. Let the first
feed be finely crumbled boiled egg,
breadcrumbs or prepared baby chick

sweet or sour milk Do not overfeed,
but feed often. Later give little bit
Of fine grains, such as pinhead oats,
cracked wheat or chick size cracked
corn, scattered in the litter to induce
exercise. Beef scrap should not be
given until chicks are at least week
old. Scald the drinking vessels fre-
quently, give plenty of greens after
the first five days and keep the chicks
exercising and there will never be any
bowel trouble among the birds.
Leg weakness frequently comes
from lack Of exercise. Chicks appear
healthy, have good appetites, are
bright, but have no use Of their legs.
Give them every opportunity to eXer-

The woodchuck, or ground hog" is
so destructive to gardens in some
counties in this section, that a few
remedial measures may be of interest.
White muslin strips may be tied to

a foot in the row, to keep the animal
away. Cotton or oakum may be
wrapped around stone soaked in car

into the hole as far as possible. In
order that the fumes may have the
fullest possible effect, close the hole
as tightly as possible. A good marks
