the movies from here on. Every time

my eyes to the bad, and I can't hit the

Baker maintains that the movies
hurt his eyes. I honestly believe that
whenever the Philadelphia club is
about to meet Detroit, and Baker
learns that Dubuc is to pitch, he makes
it his business to go to moving picture
show that night, so as to be sure and
have his alibi the next day. Bakers
weakness is slow ball and low. Dubuc
pitches just that kind of ball, and Baker
has been able to do nothing with him.
Just before the last worlds champion
ship series Mathewson informed Mar

Matty.
l guess the Rube was hustered that
day, though. He gave Baker fast,
straight one, and it sailed into the
right field stands. Baker loves to bat
against speedy pitcher.
Then Richie, the pitcher of the
old Chicago Cubs, used to beat the
Giants SO regularly none of them could
see him. Richie could make the New
York club stand on its head; yet all
the Giants would say, 4It's foolish

On the other hand, if club is hit
ting a pitcher, the players will say
that he had everything, but that they
were in wonderful form. This was
true of most of the Athletics when they
faced Marquard in the first game of
the worlds series last year. The Rube

"Watchful Waiting"

The Governments Mexican policy
of watchful waiting" finds sort
of parallelism in the situation of
the Highland postmasterships.
Thus far, E. A. McNulty, of Nc
Dowell, is the only one taking the
January civil service examination
who has received an appointment
There were two applicants for that
office. All the other county appli-
cants received their rating more
than two weeks ago, except as to
the Monterey "bunch," their
papers Coming in last Monday
night, two weeks later.
In almost every instance, the
candidates have voluntarily made
public their standing, laying the
result open to surmlse and specula-
ton. In each individual case the
papers are so numbered as to denote
the candidates standing among
the Eel. ibles," and the lucky ones
have only to wait and see whether
the merit system will b, strictly
adhered to in each case or whether
some deficiency, pressure or polltI-
pull may have weight in deciding
the contests.
At Doe Hill the two eligibles are
sfessrs Wooddell and Jones, the
former leading his opponent as to
! rating, so it is said. At Crabbot-
tom, where there 3 are candidates,
all on the eligible list we are told,
| A. D Mullenax not only won in
rating over his competitors but
made the highest average of any OF
the county's applicants. Here at
Monterey the " top-notchers' are,
in the order named, W. II. Luns
ford, J. A. Whitelaw and Mrs
Daisy Slaven, there being but ons
point between each OF them. Thus
lit is seen that the race is a close
one, the issue hanging on a thread
so to speak.

In this favored land of blue grass

In this favored land of blue grass
and fat COWS there ought to b.
some way to obviate the annua
spring butter famine. Since way
back in the winter there hasn't beer
enough butter on the Monterey
market to grease the demand, much
less supply it, and the inner mar
has become corroded and rusty
The fact that such a famine hits
all alike. puts nearly all in one
boat, affords no consolation. There
is nothing that successfully takes
the place of good butter, and at a
time like this. so-called substitutes
are resorted to and forced on us
until they become noisome and dis
gushing by gravy!
Montereyans are to lie congratu-
lated in that they have thus far
escaped fire loss, despite long,
stormy winter. Has it been due
to care and caution, or was it sheer
good luck? This point may be de-
termined by asking yourself few
pertinent questions: When have
you examined your chimneys and
fues? Do you keep a good ladder
on your premises? Is your risk
such as any good insurance COM
pany would take? How many citi-
zens know where the key to the
"fire-house" is kept, or where to
find the plug-wrench?
Most likely this line of self,ques
tioning could be followed until all
of US would have to admit that it
has been simply an instance Of
good-fortune.
