CHANCE FOR kAWS
Loss Of Other Clubs Increases
Topeka's Prospects.

r.. M. Riggs. outfielder signed by
Manager Dale Gear for the 1914 sea-
son, is anxious to report for spring
practice and thinks the Kaws will fin
1sh well this season. In letter re-
ceived from him he expresses his
knowledge OF Western League condi-
ton, noting the loss of players by the
first division clubs and his familiarity
with the list of players on the Topeka
pay roll.
Among the things he mentions in
the letter is the contract of Pitcher
Ralph Glaze, formerly in Glass AA
company. Riggs was in the Beaumont
club In the Texas league last season
and during this time he saw Glaze
pitch game against the Waco club
in which he says the latter had ev-
erything." On this occasion Glaze al
lowed but four scratch hits and was
working faultlessly.
In commenting on the season Riggs
says: II think we have a great chance
this season. for all the other clubs
have been riddled of their best mater
ial and they are not going to get very.
clubs this spring on account of this
Federal League business. Now let us
get a good early start and get right
at them from the jump. 1 have al
ready started training"
Riggs Is spending the winter at his
home in Etowah, Tenn. 11e weighs
179 pounds as against a usual weight
OF 100. Manager Dale Gear expects
Riggs to be one Of the best hitters on
this club.
Gear will send transportation to all
the players this week, that they will
have it in plenty OF time and be ready
to report at Dennison on the day set
to begin training. The pitchers and
catcher, it has been definitely decided,
will report for practice March 3. and
the infielders and outfielders ten days
later.
In addition to his baseball interests,
Manager Gear bought a bunch of cat
tie last week which he has put on
wheat pasture and has started their
training, for the market. He plans to
have them in good condition when the
season opens.

THE SHORT COURSE IN MER-
CHANDISING

Recognizing the Importance Of the
retailer to the interests OF any com
munity, the General Extension divis-
ion of the University of Minnesota
offers for the first time the Short
Course in Merchandising, during the
week commencing February 9.
1t is hoped that this short course
may prove permanent feature and
become as important to the business
interests of the state as has the
Farmers Short Course to the agricul-
tural interests Of the state.
The University is assembling for
this purpose some Of the best men
avaiIablc-men who not only have had
successful experience in merchandise
ing, but have also been experienced in
trainin" others to be successful i'll
business.
The fine has. come when business
can not be run by guess work, nor
''rule of thumb' methods used in Il
previous generation. AS competition
becomes kcener, the best possible
methods Of transacting business must
be discovered and applied. This is
the age Of deficiency" and "scien-
tific management; those who hope to
succeed must study the best way, or
else be in the position Of the stage
coach driver when the railroad loco
motive was put into use.
The course is planned to be in
tcnsely practical and helpful. 1t will
present facts rather than theories.
The lectures and discussions, will relate
the result Of the successful experien-
ces of many retailers. They will offer
valuable suggestion for economy IN the
management of a business, and for in
creasing trade. The course should help
increase the efficiency Of the retail
salesman and make him more valn-
able member Of the business world.
1t is planned for both the employer
and the employee in retail institutions,
and for those who aim to enter the
field Of retail selling.
Besides the lectures and general dis
cussion, conferences will be arranged
for the discussion Of special problems.
Any one interested is invited to send
in suggestions for these topics.

Reading Advertisements.

1t is not alone the people who are in
terested in trade who read ADVERTISE
ments. Few people nowadays buy
either newspapers or magazines who
do not read these cleveriy worded and
we'll illustrated bids for business. If
you should ask the average person
just why he or she is in the habit of
looking over the advertisements. the
chances are that you would get no d.
rect and satisfactory answer. but the
real fact is that st!bcon$ciously the
public has come to regard what ap-
pears in the advertising columns as
interesting reading matter.-Portland

Flight or Captivity

Captivity or flight were the alterna- tives presented to Napoleon He re- jected suicide as a means of escape and scorned q characteristic suggestion from Fouche that he sneak off in dis guise. While most of his advisers urged him to seek asylum in the United States Queen Hortense suggested that he should trust himself to his father-in' law. the Emperor of Austria, and Caui' incourt proposed that he should choose Russia and accept protection of his ole friend, the Czar Alexander.
 Napoleon. himself strongly preferred England. "Give myself up to AustrlaE Y he said Never! She has seized upor my wife and my son. Give myself Iii to Russia? That would be to one maj only. But to give myself up to Eng land-that would be to throw myself upon a people. Englishmen are genef ous and would be fattered by my ask ing for a residence among them It + there alone that I should enjoy the onla pleasure left man who has governed the world, the conversation of ennsni ened men,
 He had reason enough not to seek tn hospitality of any of the countries n had conquered. But Caulincourt feare' that even the English were too embit tered by their long struggle against hin to give him generous welcome. Then as I am refused the society of men, h. replied, 'I shall betake myself to tn bosom of nature and enjoy the solitud that suits my last thoughts"
 Thus he expressed his decision to go t America, which he seemed to regard a n semisavage wilderness. At once h asked that a ship be provided for tn voyage, and, calling for books relating t his new home, he resolved as he req Alexander Humboldt's travels, to explor both of the new world continents. Blu when an advancement for his passag was made with an American merchan vessel at Havre he thought it beneath hi dignity to steal away in a trading shil and insisted that a French warshi should be placed at his disposal Fouch' therefore, offered him frigate which wa lying off Rochefort, on the southwestern coast of France.
 In his imagination he fondly dramatize his future: T will go to the United State'
