BRAVES GAIN
SAFE LEAD
Boston Cinches Grip on First
Place by Defeating Giants
Two Games in Three.

New York, Sept. 13.-Boston clinch
ed its grip on first place in the Ma
tional League race last week and now
holds the lead by an ever two-game
margin over New York. The Braves
defeated the Giants, two games in
three, and won enough additional
games from the Phillies to bring their
playing rate for the week up to the
.667 mark. Meanwhile the Giants
losing five out of nine games, were
playing only at a .444 clip. This pro-
nounced disparity shows why Stall
inss' men, despite their Saturday de-
feat by Brooklyn, are today we'll out
in front.
The chances of the Giants regaining
lost ground seem poor unless their
pitchers do much better work. Mar
guard has failed to win even one
of his last ten games, and Demaree
has been of little use all season.
Tyler of Boston was hit rather hard
last time out, but James and rudolph
are pitching well, while Davis, the
recruit who held the Phillies runless
and hitless in one of last weeks
games, seems to be a find that will
help the %pennant chances of Stall
ings' men appreciably.
st. Louis and Chicago are having
a pretty struggle for third place, with
the advantage on the side of the Car
dinals. Their double victory over Gin
cinnati put them within two and a
half games of the Giants. The Cubs
are n game to the rear. Both are
within striking distance of the &C.
ond place and are to be considered
for the pennant reckoning if the
stru yglnG pair above them should
suffer losing spells.
Eoston cut into Philadelphia's lead
in the American league race last
week, but the Red Sox are still seven
and a half games distance from the
worlds champions. A continuation of
the slumping tendencies the Athletics
have shown in the last two weeks,
however, might give at least a sem
blance of interest to the closing days
of the younger leagues season.
indianapolis, after holding undis-
puted leadership in the Federal league
for several weeks, struck a period of
hard going in Baltimore. while the
rejuvenated team, taking a double
header from Buffalo yesterday and
two games again today. climbed once
more into the lead. Chicago now is
ahead, with 70 games won and So lost,
to Indianapolis u and SO.
In the American Association both
Milwaukee and louisville, the league
leaders, suffered ssetbacks. but the
best their rivals could do was tc
break even, and the standing of the
league was not materially changed.

WHY POISON IVY PoISoNS7
French Scientist Discovers Cause In
the Presence Of Prusslc Acid
In the Plant.

Poison ivy has long been a mystery
both to scientists and laymen; why
and In what manner 1t causes the pc
culiar rash and irritating infamma'
ton have puzzled both botanists and
physicians. At last the reason has
been discovered. Doctor Mirande OF
Paris read to the Academy Of Sciences
in that city recently the result Of his
study Of the poisonous weed.
Poison ivy contains prussic acid.
This is found principally in the young
leaves and buds; in older leaves there
is very little Of 1t.
In three and one-half ounces Of
young leaves there Is about a quar-
ter of q grain of the acid.
AS with other plants in which prus.
sic acid is found, the poisonous sub
stance does not exist in its perfect
form, but develops as soon as the
leaves are bruised, a chemical action
being set up through the union Of an
engine with q glucosid.

not know that the rattlesnake was
going to teach the child a song and
she picked up q big stick and killed
the rattlesnake.
THAT night when the hunter came
home he met some rattlesnakes in the
trail near his home and they told him
that he would have to 90 home and set
task for his wife because she had
killed their brother. And that task
was one long lifetime Of working day
after day in the fields.
when the rattlesnakes saw that
the woman was carrying out the hard
tasks her husband had set for her, they
called q council of all the people. It
was the great black rattlesnake who
sat in the chief seat at the council,
and after everybody had taken their
places he got up and told how their
brother had been killed and how the
woman was working even then IN the
fields to pay for It.
"And the great black rattlesnake
told the people that never, 30 long
as the women worked in the fields,
would the rattlesnakes bite them. But
he told them that whenever any OF
the people met rattlesnake they were
to sing q certain song. And IL rattle
snake ever bit any Of the people by
accident they were to go to that per-
son and sing that song over him and
he would be WELL"
And when the old man had finished
telling the little boy this story the lit
tie boy would ask:
What was the song which the rat
tlesnake taught the people?" But the
old man would shake his head and
say:
That song is a sacred song. and
it cannot be learned by little boys.
Until you grow up to be a man you
must walk always with your eyes wide
and looking at the ground where you
step, so you will not risk making our
friends angry by stepping on them"

Long time ago, in the late afternoon,
when the little Indian boys were
taught to walk in the trails and
through the grass, always with their
eyes looking straight at the ground
ahead, the old men would tell them
that they must do that so that they
would not hurt their friends, the rattle
snakes, by stepping on them and pro-
voking them to bite.
Listen, little one" the old man
would say when he was showing the
boy how to walk straight and swiftly,
and l will ten you about the time one
Of our people killed rattlesnake and
how we had to learn song from the
rattlesnakes to keep US safe from their
bites"
And as they walked on the trail the
old man would say:
You see, back in the days when the
sun was SO angry with the people that
she stopped every day up in the mid
die OF the sky and glared down until
many of the people fell sick, 1t was a
rattlesnake who said he would so up
to the house Of the daughter Of the sun
and when the sun stopped there for
dinner on her next trip across the
sky he would bite her and she would
die.
And SO the rattlesnake went up and
coiled beside the door Of the house Of
the daughter Of the sun. 1t was not
the sun who was bitten, but the suns
daughter, and it was long time be-
fore the sun got over mourning for her
daughter. But never again did the
people suffer from the angry sun.
We'll, for q long, long time the rat
tlesnake IVES the good friend Of man
and he would not bite any OF US. But
one day o woman heard her little child,
who was playing outside the house,
scream. She ran out to see what was
the matter and found big rattlesnake
colled up close to the child. She did
