The caliph had in his audience cham

written in the laws of Bagdad that he
who should have the misfortune to
break one of these would pay the pen

broke vase. He was instantly seiz-

the caliph had no sooner pronounced
sentence on him than-the slave turned

teen vases, with one sweep OF the arm
destroyed them all.
Wretch" the caliph Numbered,

deed?"
ITO save the lives of nineteen OF my

SECONDS HOLD FIRSTS
IN CLOSE GAME SUNDAY

Owing to the non-appearance of the
Davenport Stars and the Rock Island
Tool Works ball team, which were to
meet the first and second teams, re-
spectively, of the Illinois Oil company
yesterday, the first and second teams
played, the latter holding their older
fellow laborers to the close score of
3 to 1. This is taken as practically a
victory for the seconds, owing to the
lowness of the score, and they are
feeling jubilant over the result.

ton of the Term.
In the newspapers of today we very
often find the words entente cordiale
Most readers understand the meaning
Of the expression, but it is rather diff
cult to make a translation that ex-
presses the exact meaning of the orig
inal French. Prince Bismarck gave a
good explanation when his daughter
asked him what the entente cordiale
really was.
We'll" he said, at is not so easy to
define literally. 1t means a cordial I'M
derstanding, but it also has little
different significance. For example:
You were in the courtyard this morn
ing when came from the garden with
Nero. Diana was In the yard, gnaw-
ing a large bone. My Nero saw her
and ran to seize the bone. Then there
was little fight, until l struck them
few sharp blows with my cane.
after that the bone lay in the mid
die of the court, while both dogs stood
off at some distance and looked eager
ly at it. Each dog, in fact, was as anx-
ious TO keep the other away as he was
afraid of my cane. and therefore Meth
or .ventured to seize it. You see that
is what they call in diplomatic circles

OTTUMWA TEAM
ON The MARKET
Winning of Three remnants
Kills Interest of Central
Association Town.
IS CHANCE FOR ROCK ISLAND
Local Baseball Men, However, Not
Willing to Take. Hold in the
Middle of the Season.

Ottumwa is ready to drop out OF the
: Central association and would be glad
TO dispose of its franchise to Rock Is
land or any other city which will make
bid for il. The clubs plight will be
considered at the midsummer meeting
of the league, to be held Wednesday
at Cedar Rapids.
Ottumwa has won three straight pen
nants and the baseball public has had
surfeit. This season, with tail end
team, patronage has fallen of 10 al
most nothing and the directors OF the
association has made the following
frank statement:
"Ottumwa has for years literally
| supported baseball. not only by at
| tendance, but by liberal subscriptions.
We have seen city after city drop
] out of the original league until now
only two OF the original teams remain
There have been during our stay in
the league about is changes No one
can say that Ottumwa has been quit
ter, but the public has evidently be-
come tired of baseball, and the attend
ance does not justify our continuance
in the league We feel that we should
have turned over our franchise last
year after a record of three straight
remnants.
I'VE started last year. as matter OF
fact. over $4,000 in debt, but by the ex-
cellent management of Ned Egan we
sold enough players that with added lib
eraI subscriptions of our people,
placed US practically out OF debt, and
with the sale Of our remaining players
and the turning over OF our franchise
we would have been even with the
world.
But against our own judgment We
listened to pleas OF our baseball fans.
and as q consequence we are in a posi-
ton where we can no longer con-
tinue.'
No Bid Here.
Judging by the sentiments expressed
by a number of Rock Island men who
have heretofore supported baseball,
this city is not likely TO assume the
Ottumwa franchise at this time In
the spring We would have been glad
TO get into the league" said one. but
taking over a tail-end team in the mid
die of the season with the entire cir
cult wabbIy and little chance TO build
ND local interest we feel that II would
be folly for us TO assume the Ottumwa
franchise on any terms. After the
close of the season we may be willing
10 talk business with Ottumwa or some
other team which has a club for sale.
I Judge that there will be number OF
teams on the market this winter not
only In the Central association, but
in the Three-Eye also.
"Of course. we would offer no objec-
ton II the Central association should
bring a team TO this city and conduct
fl during the remainder OF the season
without involving any obligation on the
part OF the local association.
