 About the only effect that criticism of the tango seems to have in terpsichorean circles is to give additional advertise ment to that sinuous and many jointed dance. Certainly they are tangoing now as never before, despite the fulmin- ations from rostrumS and pulpits. - Ansonia Sentinel.

President Wilson's sangfroid is un- failing" sad diplomat-"as unfailing as his fund of aneciote
 "Apropos of the shipping rebate, complimented the president on his sang froid the other day. He replied, with his dry smile, that he had tried to initiate the grave digger.
 "A grave digger" he explained, ''had the habit of visiting the cemetery every night at about midnight to see that all was gong well.
 Some boys decided to play trick on him. They dug a trench in dark spot which the grave digger always passed over. and one of their number clothed in a white sheet. hid behind a tree.
 The grave digger at midnight duly appeared and. sure enough, he stumbled and fell into the grave.
 "Then the boy in the sheet stepped forth and said in hollow tones:

About Mrs. Adam.

Mrs. Adam never danced,
 Mrs. Adam never firted; Mrs. Adam never pranced
 Round the Garden hobble- -skirted. Mrs. Adam didn't roar
 A demand for "yotes for wonIen;' Mrs. Adam simply wore
 Figleaves when she went in swimmin' Mrs. Adam didn't dress
 In gown that seemed to cling; Mrs. Adam, confess,
 Never wore surplus thing. Mrs. Adam didn't care
 For the latest thing in hats; Mrs. Adam didn't wear
 Switches, curls or puffs or rats. Mrs. Adam didn't do
 Anything so very shocking; Never showed foot or two Of exquisite silken stocking. Mrs. Adam went about
 Minus any silken hose; Mrs. Adam went without
 Much of anything in clothes. Mrs. Adam didn't wear
 Any tall aigrette or feat her. But she travelled here and there
 Quite exposed to wind and weather. Mrs. Adam didn't go
 Out to every swell fandango; Mrs. Adam didn't know
 Anything about the tango. Mrs. Adam didn't rave
 With q wild, unhampered passinn, Nor bow meckly like slave
 To the stern demand of Fashion. Mrs. Adam couldn't rig
 Up dud to hide her back, And she didn't care a fig
 That her wardrobe was so slack! E. A. Brininstool, in Los Angeles Ex. press.

BOSTON Squirt
BREAKS RECORD
Remarkable Climb Of Boston Ma
tionals From Last Place to Top
Is Wonder of Season.
Is Wonder of Season.

New York, Sept. THE remark
able squirt of the Boston National
League club, which carried it from
last place to a tie for first position
in a little more than a month, estab-
lished a new record in major league
baseball. While the Braves never Sc
riously threatened the record of con
tinuous victories, they won strings OF
games ranging from four to seven
straight, with seldom more than n
defeat breaking the sequence, and as
a result the climb from the National
League cellar to a tie with the New
York Giants for first place on August
"a was extremely sensational.
It is hard to fix the exact date up
on which the Braves first showed
signs of the rush that was destined
to carry them from the bottom to he
top of the league in Rless than six,
weeks. On Monday, July 6, the club
was in last place, having won 26
games and lost 40 for a percentage
of 1874; Philadelphia held seventh
place, with .467. On that date the
Braves started a run Of four victories
and continued with few defeats until
August "a. During this period Bos-
ton met every other club in the league
except Philadelphia, winning 80
games; losing 8 and tieing one. While
playing at this .905 clip the Braves
scored 1854 runs, 335 hits, made 81
errors and had 2S5 runners stranded
on the bases. The averages show
that but l 81 errors Ware made pc"
game and one run scored for every 2
hits. The best run Of victories was
mace between July u and August 6,
when nine games in a row We're won
from Chicago, st. Louis and Pitts
burg. 1t is also a peculiar coincidence
that these same clubs, aided by Gin
c%innati, accounted for the eight
games lost by the Braves, during the
period under consideration.
Nothing like this rally or rush has
heretofore been recorded in the an
nails of the big league. The nearest
approach was the dash Of the Chica'
no White Soxy,i in 1906, when, under
the management of Fielder Jones
the Chicago club, by winning Is
straight games, lifted itself from sew
enth to first place in the American
league and later defeated the Chicago
Nationals in the worlds champion
ship series, 4 games to Q. Even this
run fell short of the record for thu
major league figures we're set at q
games by the Providence club of thu
