FEDS ARE READY
TO RETURN RUDE
Wards Write Giant Manage
ment Agreeing to Hand Over
Player if 1t is Proven That
He is Under Contract.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The Federal
league is ready to give RUDE Mar
guard back to the New York Giants
Pres't r. b. Ward of the Brookfeds
who signed Marquard for mis- team,
wrote letter to that effect Wednes-
day TO Pres't II. \. Hampstead of the
Giants. All the organized baseball
forces must do to get Marquard back
is to convince Mr. Marquard that the
$1,000 beauty really was under a
binding contract with the Giants
when he signed with the Federals in
which case the Wards do not want
him.
In this letter to Pres't Hampstead,
Mr. Ward takes occasion to demon
strate that the Federals are making
much greater efforts TO play the game
fairly than is the Giants management
He instances the case Of William Rit-
ter and says that player was actually
under contract to the Brookfeds when
the Giants signed him away from the
Ward team by using influence with
his father.
Mr. Ward also discloses that Mar
guard sought the Federals instead Of
having been kidnapped by them. He
says that RUDE literally came to the
Brookfed camp with his hat in his
hand begging to be signed up and
and assured the Wards that he was
under absolutely no obligations to the
Giants.
The receipt of this letter literally
knocked the magnates off their feet.
They had never expected such action
in the MarGuard case and at all ses-
sions of the league during the present
meeting, what we are going to do TO
the Wards in this Marquard case"
had been a topic of discussion that
everybody seemed to relish.
1t is not known what arrangement
The Wards have made with Marquard
about the $500 which was advanced
him when he signed the Federal
league contract. The general feeling
has been that the RUDE was in a
worse fix than either the BrOokfeds
or the Giants for the reason that his
action in swearing that he had no con-
tract with the Giants and then accept
ing money from the Federals on his
affidavit to that effect, laid him open
to a criminal charge. Mr.. Wards
letter, however, where it says 1--WE will
consider with Mr. Vanguard a cancel
lation of his contract" leads to the be-
lief that the RUDE will prove amenda-
BILE to any suggestion that will serve to
extricate him from an awkward posi-
ton.

State Grange Holds
Its Annual Meeting
Maryland Farmers land Farm Women
VIII Meet In Baltimore To Con-
slider Rural Problems.

With the coming Of the Maryland
State Grange to Baltimore on the 18th
and 18th of December, we find many
Interested to know what this organi-
cation stands for and what 1t has ac-
complished.
The Grange is the organization Of

home as well as the Improvement Of
the farm. open to men and women
alike and ready to include in its mem
bershiD the boys and girls who are
last growing into the active life Of their
neighborhood. The Grange is the edu-
Gator Of the farmer in better farming
methods, in better business practice,
and In better country life. The lrst
object of the Grange is to train the
farmer to help himself and find him
self.
The social side Of the Grange is the
side that really touches the farIler

touch with the other people Of the
neighborhood. Too often the country
neighborhood is broken up into social
sets or circles or again there is lit
tie or no social life at all Things

you, nothing doing around these
parts!" The Grange changes this. The
Grange is broad enough to take into
it every interest in country life and
every one interested in it. 1t brings
people together who have had hardly q

feel free to speak their thoughts, out
in open meeting" without fearing too
much what this or that neighbor will
say. It brings home to them the fact
that they are all members Of q COM

SELECTING PROFITABLE LAYERs
FROM THE FARM FLOCK.
ROY H. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

At this season of the year the ques-
tion Of how to pick out the laying hen
often comes up. Many have recon-
mended the use Of trap nests. This
may sound very well to persons who
have had no actual experience with
them, but any one who has looked
after trap nests knows that 1t is no SIM
pie matter. Attention has to be given
at intervals every day IL complete
record is to be had. They have to be
looked after Sundays and holidays as
well as other days, fourth of July and
Christmas included. OF course, trap
nests have their place, but 1t isn't in
the hen house of the average farmer
or poultryman. How then Is the poul-
try keeper going to pick out the busi-
ness hen? It is quite a simple mat
ter. The hardest problem perhaps is
how to get hold Of the birds. II one
doesn't mind spending an evening now
and then with the chickens they can
be easily handled after dark If the
work must be done duEing the day a
sort Of darkened corner can be fenced
off in the poultry house and the birds
driven in where they can be%very read.

An Unexpected Charge That Resulted
In Rout and AnnihiIation.
There have been many curious bits
OF strategy in warfare. but none more
effective than the coup of the Tercei-
rams when threatened by the Span
iards.
Early in the morning of the 25th day
Of July, 1881. the inhabitants Of the
village of st. Sebastian, Isle OF Ter
ceira. one OF the Azores or western
group, were alarmed at the sight of a
squadron. consisting Of seven large
Spanish war galleons, anchored off the
little bay at SaIga, the operations for
landing a hostile force being actually
in progress.
Hastily summOning some companies
Of militia and collecting behind a
neighboring knoll large herd Of semi
wild cattle from the neighboring pas
lures, the islanders quietly awaited
the massing of the Spaniards on the
beach.
When this had been accomplished,
the Terceirans advanced close up to
the foe, as If to the attack, when, sud-
denly opening out into two long col
umns and leaving a wide. open space
between. the numerous cattle were
sent laundering down the center, goad-
ed on by picadors on horseback. SO un-
usual and unexpected charge threw
the Spaniards into complete disorder,
and, being at once set upon by the Is
landers, scarcely man escaped to the
ships, several guns which had been
landed falling as spoil to the conquer

Where the weakness Of the artistic

for attracting the notice and earning

is on par with all other self regard

with a desire to give rather than to

Court Said They Shouldn't.

Court Said They Shouldn't.
An amusing instance of legal sharp
practice is set forth in the annals Of
Westerly r. /. 1t occurred hundred
years ago, when, it seems. lawyers were
quite as adroit at quibbling as certain
OF their successors are today.
A farmer of broken fortunes hired
for cultivation d piece of land. agree
Ing to pay for the use thereof with a
certain proportion of the crop. He
planted potatoes and had an unusual
degree of success. Being without a
storeroom, he obtained the consent OF
a neighborihg landhoIder and deposited
bis share of the potatoes in what farm
ers call a potato hole that is, an ex-
cavation in the earth in which the po-
tatoes are placed and covered with
earth and straw in the form Of pyra-
mid.
Shortly afterward he had occasion to
go to Connecticut, and one Of his cred
itors seized the opportunity to attach
the potato hole.
Upon this another creditor bestirred
himself and consulted a lawyer as to
what could be done to secure his claim.
The attorney was equal to the occasion.
He secured the issuing of a second
writ, by which an attachment was lev
led upon the potatoes In the potato hole,
the documents specifically setting forth
that the potato hole should be left upon
the land where it was found.
The warrant was promptly served,
and when the first creditor appeared
upon the scene he found the potato
hole, but not the potatoes. Case and
