CINCINNATI BASE HIT DIES.
Majority of Baseball Writers Associa
tion Against It.

All the changes proposed by the
rules committee of the Baseball Writ
ers association of America were
adopted by a vote of the members of
the orga nization, except the one known
rs the Cincinnati base hit The
result of the balloting was announced
ut Philadelphia by Secretary Weart,
who said that IS members voted
against the Cincinnati base hit t. and
PC in favor of it. Opposition to this
was particularly strong among the New
York and Chicago writer's.
The only other proposed change that
did not meet with almost unanimous
approval was that of giving a stolen
base and II battery error on the same
play. This suggestion, however. was
carried three TO one.

w. C. T. U. NOTES Contributed FLOODED STOCK Roy L. Smith

A Nebraska framer was cross ing his pasture with a friend. As the men walked along they discussed the coming election The farmer believed in license and defended his belief with the usual arguments of "cOn.. trol and regulation" More than that he declared that he did not feel inclined to vote a. gainst the saloonkeeper of the little village for he was good fellow, always ready to assist neighbcr, and his license helped to keep down taxes. At length, as if to dismiss the sub ject, he exclaimed, "Well, what is this thing to me anyhow :? My children are all little and there never were any drinkers in our family. I guess I am not running any particular risk"
 The topic was temporarily dropped and the farmer proceed ed to eXpatiate upon the fine points of his stock, indicating one splendid specimen after an other, and giving pedigrees and records with great pride. Sud denly he stopped and plucking up a little weed threw it over the fence with a grunt of satis- faction. "What was that-' in quired the friend curiously. "That was a "loco weed." If the stock should happen to get hold of t and eat it they would go crazy and be useless, for a while at least. It was lucky 1 found that little sprig; it might have caused me considerable trouble" But why don't you put a high fence around it; reg ulate it; control it? inquired the friend solemnly. Why l cant afford 10 run the risk" said the farmer. "That stock is all bloOded stock. It repre- sents too much money.' "Ah, now l sec why you do not vote ively responded the friend. "Iour boys and your girls are not blooded stock. .'-Union Signal.

MINERS ARE LOST

The launch Brighton, the Port Wells mail boat reached Valdez last week. bringing the story of two prospectors ard miners who are known to be al the head of long bay, and who must be out of supplies by this time. The two men, Ben Howell and Arthur DeRoche, went to the head of the bay in November, taking a small out fit and expected to secure supplies at intervals and they arranged with Captain Stamey to have him leave their mail at a point on Glacier island, where they would come for it every trip, but since Dec. 15 they have not called at the box for the Eail, of which more than 100 pounds have accumulated. The Brighton made a deter mined effort to reach the men and bucked the ice for two miles until finally the sharp, ice cut through the bow of the Brighton causing the water to flow into the ship and forcing Captain Stamey to place every thing of weight at the stern of his boat to filt the bow clear. The tender was loaded with water and the how lifted clear of the leak, when temporary re pairs were made, after which the effort at rescue was aband- Cned. Friends of the two men are anxious to know of their fate and hope to arrange for another attempt to reach the men. Because of the poor ise, strong enough to prevent small boats from going into the bay, hut two weak to allow men walking over t to the camp al the head of the bay, the use ol a boat is necessary.

Eather Hubbard,

The nursery knows nothing of Fa- ther Hubbard, but ill 1904 Thomas Middleton published Father Hub bard's Tale of the Ant and the Night ingale.' Tn the introduction he ex- plains: "Why l call these Father Hubburd's tales is not to have them called in again as the Tale of Mother Hubburd. The world would show lit tie judgment in that, ffaith, and 1 should say then. 'plena stultorum om- nia,' for I entreat here neither of rug ged bears nor apes, no, nor the lam entable downfall of the old wife's platters. l deal with no such metal" Since Spenser's Mother Hubberd" does not seem to have been called in and says nothing about bears or plat ters, Middleton is evidently alluding to some other "Mother Hubburd."- London Standard.

lbsen and Love,

Tennyson says that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Ibseu maintained-nOt in a general philoso,",ical way, but with respect to the conditions he saw i'm mediately around him-that it is bet ter, if youthfully, romantically in love, to separate rather than to marry. Ib- sen is in agreement with the brilliant Frenchman who asserted that all com edies end with wedding. because it is then that the tragedy begins!-From Archibald Henderson's European Dramatists."

over the small things as we'll as the
big things of life, and far removed
from the perfect romance and ecstatic
bliss of the erstwhile drama. But the
most significant feature of this play,
in so far as it marks new departure
in playwrighting, lies in the authors
treatment Of the leading feminine role.
Hers is not one Of love- making. She
is neither lover nor beloved. She is
just "a woman-the sort one encoun-
tiers every day, with her faults and
frailties, and her great strength in
the hour Of need. 1t is a sure sign Of
the times. A generation ago, a wo-
mans only place was the home and
the fireside-her only mission to love
and be loved-and thus she was pic
tured on the stage.

employs human beings for his charac-

wife does not believe in the old "love
in a cottage" idea. She prefers a real
home and pretty clothes. She induces

Fine Feathers.

Ten years ago a play like Fine
Feathers" which H. H. Frazee will
present for the second time here at
the Yazoo Theatre on Friday, Dec. H.,
could not have been successfully pro-
duced, because at that time it was
generally believed that no drama
could possibly succeed without love
theme as its most important basis.
Yet this play by Eugene Walter is
acclaimed the most important drama
tic work Of the century.
In "Fine Feathers" the playwright
has struck out along new channels. In
his story the sex problem does not
obtrude itself, not even by suggestion.
There are ne lovers except the hus-
band and wife, and their love is Of the
