BEATING It In.

DR.. Brandes. in his lecture on Shake
speares Hamlet" said the interest of
Shakespeare was to be found in story
and not in psychology. Elizabethan art
was intended for an audience who read
but little. Like all early art, it was ex-
plicit. The conditions were similar to
those in the story of the old London
stage manager, who said:
"If you want the British public to
understand anything you must tell
them what you are going to do next,
that you are doing it. and. last. that
you have done it." and he finished by
saying. Then they will perhaps under,
stand you."-Pall Mall Gazette.

A Coal Fire Without Wood.

In the Woman's Home Companion 8
contributor tells as follows new way
to start the kitchen fire:
attach a rubber tube from the gas
jet long enough to reach to the front
of the range. Put a metal tip on the
free end of the tube. light it and hold
it under the crate already filed with
coal. A steady flow of gas for few
minutes will start good coal fire
without using any kindling wood"

That great quantities OF provender

age in Frederick county has been
proven by Mr.. Jesse n. King, the
president of the Frederick County
Farmers Association, says the Fred
erick News" MIR. King is the owner
of small farm of 20 acres and upon
il he has worked wonders in the way
OF providing feed for large amount
OF stock He aims TO feed about seven
head OF steers each winter.
1t was with long feed, Or hay
crop, that Mr.. King made what he
said to be a. experiment for Freder-
lex county, and to use his own words,
We cot tired of hauling in the crop
from two acres of ground" Mr.
King sowed sorghum, tsugar cane)
and cowpeas. The cane grew about
IL feet high and the cowpeas nearly
siX feet. The whole was cut with
q mower and heaped In piles TO cure,
and when cured, was hauled in. MT.
King estimates that he secured IL
tons or good hay and states that bis
cattle ate most of al the stalk of
the cane, and that the feed, to him,
appears far superior to ordinary corn
fodder.
50 far as known this is one Of the
first crops of this sort sown i'm Fred
erick county and it only serves to
demonstrate how much dry feed and
good feed for stock can be grown on
q few acres of land. The lanu re-
quires no especial preparation and
with Mr. King the cowpeas were SOW
ed with a drill and the sorghum vas
mixed with fertilizer and drilled. The
result was a most even stand, and a

WillNAl Be Back This Spring-Facts Warrant Hunch
Many Exhibition Games Are Scheduled

Atlanta, February 25.-(Special) )-Base-
ball scribes of this city have a hunch
that Manager Billy Smith of the local
team is likely to spring a surprise on
them within the near future, said sur
prise being players of known ability.
This "hunch" is mere supposition. but
the facts warrant the conclusion that has
been drawn and ere long an announce

Wallie Smith may again play third
base for the Crackers. livingston Bis
land may again play shortstop. Harry
Chapman will again be behind the bat.
Infield Will Be Better
These lunches are backed by these
facts. Manager Smith has made no ef-
fort to land another catcher, another
shortstop or another third sacker The
other positions are filled acceptably now
THE three places mentioned are not.
1t is possible that the local manager is
waiting until the majors cut down be-
fore he tries to land a shortstop, a third
baseman and a catcher but the general
opinion seems to prevail that he has not
tried to land them because the three men
mentioned will be on deck.
