admired says the Melbourn scribe.
The umpire, who stands Just be-

every time player went to bat the
umpire turned to the crowd and in

Written for the United Press,

New York, Feb, 2J.-The Austria
Iiaus, having seen the Giants and
White SoX in action, are inclined to
spool at our national game. At least
one writer in the antipodes has gone
oil record as finding it hard to de-
eide whether the Giants going into
action look like "a band Of Arctic
explorers, braced for march due
south, or contingent of prize
fighters getting ready for the ring. y
Unless they appear for fights in Mel
bourne in different Garb from that
displayed in this country, We blush
to think what the Giants must have
looked like and shiv~r for the Arctic
explorers. The writer in the Mel
bourne Age, however, explains. In
describing the appearance of the
American ball players, the story
says.
1T was the novelty of the thing
that chiefly appealed to the specta-
tgTs. To see an American baseball
team taking the field is vastly im-

at Little Rock closed Tuesday night
with an entertainment at the graded
school building. The contest has been

time much interest was manifested.
The Little Rock group of boys will

Rev. E. II. Koch, the former pastor
of the Little Rock church, who now
resides at Corbin, Miss, was the
speaker of the occasion, taking for
the basis of his address, "The Y. NJ
G. A. Pin" which is triangular in
form, and has the inscription, Body,
Mind, Spirit" This significant motto
was applied to the well-rounded char
acter that makes the perfect man in
way that appealed especially to the
boys.
After the address a reception was
given to Rev. Mr.. Koch which was en-
Dyed by him and a large number of
his former congregation. A salad
course with coffee was served.

EPWoRTH LEAGUE ENTERTAlNs
IN HONOR OF NEW MEMBERS

The Paris Epworth League enter
tanned Wednesday evening at the
Methodist church in honor of the
thirty-one new members added to the
organization. The occasion was very
enjoyable, and a largecrowd attended
the exercises.
The church auditorium, where the
exercises were held, was beautifully
decorated in gola and white, and a
large Maltese cross, the League en-
blem, was suspended above the speak
ers stand, which was draped in gold
and white, the League colors.
The program was opened by song,
"The Kings Business" Miss Matte
Lilleston accompanying on the piano.
Rev. j. S. Sims delivered the invOca-
ton, which was followed by the
song, God Remembers When the
World Forgets," which was beautifully
rendered by Miss Elizabeth Mann.
Mr.. Dennis V. Snapp, president of
| the local League, then made the well
come address, and introduced Rev. M.
| T. Chandler, of Cynthiana, former pas
| tor of the Paris Methodist church,
who was the speaker OF the evening.
In his address he paid high compll-
ment to the efforts of the members
of the Paris League, and of the prog
ress made by the organization. His
address was very inspiring and upllft-
ing, and was greatly enjoyed by all
present.
The program closed with an instru-
mental solo by Mrs. H. M. Hamilton
on the violin, accompanied by Miss
Lilleston on the piano. This number
delighted the audience, which was
evidenced by the continuous applause
which followed each selection.
At the last conference the Scott
street church, of Covington, reported

lightweight, in the Kentucky Confer

surpass any of the Leagues in the

THEATRICAL.
Columbia Theatre.

Saturday will present "Bess, the

of a stage robber, killed by the vigi-
lants, becomes the charge of a school
master. Tainted by schoolmates, she
runs away, but is hunted out by the
schoolmaster, who returns her, much
to the chargin of Gladys, who loves
the school teacher Stirring scenes
follows when Bess again runs away
with a theatrical company and when
the schoolmaster goes to her rescue.
They escape to the school house,
whittier the minister and school
trustees pursue them, demanding the

"Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight"
The story-aS most of us will remem-
Der, if we put the lines Of the poem
into conversational prose-deals with
the capture of the Cavalier, Basil I'm
derWoOd by some of Oliver Crom-
wells soldiers-his trial, presumably
as a spy of King CharleS'-and his
sentence to be executed at the ringing
Of the Curfew, that evening. Bessie,
vino is in love with him, hears the
sentence and tries every way she can
think of procure pardon. Being I'M
successful, she goes to Sim, the Will
age sexton, and begs him not to ring
the Curfew that evening. Then comes
the most familiar part of the story,
which is pictured wildly when Bessie
swings out on the massive clapper,
her frail body acting as muffier be-
tween the heavy iron tongue and the
rim of the bell-so that if gives forth
no sound except the creaking of the
axle beam.

How to Detect the
Alum Baking Powder

(Which are the alum baking powders;
how can avoid them unless they are named9"
asks housekeeper.
Here is one way: take the can of low
priced powder In your hand and read the
ingredient clause upon the back label. The
law requires that if the powder contains alum
that fact must be there stated. If you find
one Of the ingredients named alum, or sui
phate Of aluminium. you have found an alum
baking ponder
There is another and better way. You
don't have to know the names of the alum
powders. Use Royal Baking Powder only;
that assures you cream Of tartar powder,
and the purest and most healthful baking
powder beyond question.
