a rise of point in Texas Company

was fairly active. particularly in

Changes in general were irregular,

"Yesr' sighed the opera manager,

awkward stage presence De Rocker
has? Well he stepped on Squalchi's
train thirteen times during one per-

value of -1,000th of penny. In the
southern parts of Russia the peasants
use coin of such small value that
quarter of million of them are worth
no more than five shillings. The old
Japanese mouseng was worth 1-224th
of an English penny. In Portugal the
refs is the lowest standard of value,
but no one-reis pieces are coined. A
three-rais piece is equivalent to
12-100ths of our penny. - London

Raymond Cobb, the famous center
fielder of the Detroit American League

the butcher shop Of W. L. Carpenter on
Hamilton boulevard, while engaging in
a fist fight with Harold Harding, twen-

Cobb assaulted him after the ball player
had drawn a revolver on the pro-
prietor Carpenter confirmed the charge.
and said Cobb attacked Harding when
the latter attempted to interfere.
Cobb was taken to the Bethune ave-

investigation. Several friends offered to
furnish bail for his release, but even
If Cobb is allowed his liberty he will
not be able to play base ball for sew
eral days. He broke his right thumb
during the scuff1e with Harding.
The only explanation which COW Id be
obtained from the ball player after his
arrest was that the butcher insulted
Mrs. Cobb. Carpenter denied the
charge, but admitted that Cobb rushed
into the butcher shop, made the al
legation and then started trouble
