CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH ITEMS

The Ladies' Aid society will not
have it's regular meeting next week
as they are to serve the Alumni ban
q ct for the Normal.
The church was packed full last
Sunday and everybody there was
glad to be there. Those who SO
carefully helped to prepare the
children for their Individual parts
in the program were gratified by
the perfect rendition Of the same.
Miss Houston and her little kinder
gartners deserve especial commer-
dation. The offering taken amount
ed to $37 80. This is to be used to
help in the Sunday school work in
the state. Possibly some who could
not be there still retain their little
envelopes containing their offering;
if so, they have the privilege of
bringing it next Sunday.

On VISITING the Sick.

Do not ask them how they feel. 1t
is an insult to them, for If they felt
well they would not be sick, and it Is
also a reflection on your intelligence.
for if you would look around a little
you would be able to see how they
feel. Be of some service and cheer
IF possible) and get out. There is a
time later when folks need company,
but sickness is essentially a nonsocial
occupation. 1t is a merit to visit the
sick when you help them, but to beat
them we their enfeebled heads with
your robust personality Is a peculiar
Iy careless crime.-Coiier'e.

NOW LIVE IN CIVILIZED AGE.
easebail Arbiters Few Years Ago
We're Regarded as Outcasts and
Stunned by All Men.

Umpires live in the golden age to
day, their existence is passed in a
garden spot. So says E. H. Wood, one
OF the old-time umpires in the West
ern league and later substitute um-
pire in the National league. In his
time, according to Wood, a handler
of the indicator was Stunned of all
men. No person dared to call him a
friend. He was an outcast, man
without a country.
"Umpires had to have nerve and
punches of it when I was in the bust
ness many years ago." says Wood.
Those were the times when we
had to fight 1t out with the players
on the ball field, and we didn't have
Ban Johnson or a John Tenner to
back us up. We could, it is true,
tack a S. fine on offending players,
but we couldn't put him out of the
game or even bench him. So you can
see where we get of.
Il remember once when I was an
umpire in the Western league foul
tip had hit me in the throat and I
couldn't talk above whisper; had
to work by signs when I called 'em
out. Every decision was trouble for
me.
ut was in Denver when first heard
cow-punchers firing revolvers from
the stands. The stands then were
like the bleachers of today, bunch

sweat poured down my back when

''At Peoria one day came some

clearness. They used to slide head

He bluffed around for q moment and

Then, coming to his feet, he busted

other side was frantically looking
around for the ball. When he finally
got to his bench he took the ball
out of his shirt and tossed it on the
field.

Foul Tip Is Tough on
Umpire Silk 0'Loughlin

This should make good read
ing for the promoters of the
fourth major league. And like
wise for the general public.
Umpire Silk OLoughlin has
received many hurts while
standing behind the catcher.
The hardest blow, in his opin.
ion, was at Philadelphia a cou-
pie of seasons ago.
Walter Johnson was pitch
ing and the batter hit foul

says Silk. "Johnson's speed is
terrific enough, but add the

For at least ten minutes my
arm was absolutely paralyzed,

Action to Prevent AerOpIanes
Passing Over Land Close to

what height
NJ Heurtebise. owner OF land in the
neighborhood OF Versailles, close TO the
Buc Aerodrome, has brought an action
against Farman Brothers. the Borel Com
pany and Esnault Pelterie. claiming the
right TO prevent aeroplanes passing over
his property at a height OF less than COG
feet on the ground that the noise OF the
engines frightens away game, while oc-
casional forced landings destroys his
crops and constitutes danger to workers
in the fields. Moreover. Article J62 Of the
French Civy Code states that the pos
SCISSOR of land owns the air above and the
soil beneath.
The aeroplane companies claim the air
to be res nullius, and therefore not sus-
ceptible to ownership. Judgment VIII be
given next week pending a hearing OF the
action. NJ. Heurtebise has erected a
number OF solid iron scarecrows on his
land to serve the double purpose OF pre-
venting birds and airmen landing in the
