a GAME OF BASEBALL INFLU
ENCED BY THE MAGNETIC RAY,

Captain MacManus, retired air-skip-
per, and his coterie of Master Airiga-
tors leaned on the rail of the New
YORK receiving float of the f. c. & A.
Aerial line and watched a huge yellow
olrlglDle shoot past on the 5000-foot
level.
The Hong Kong and Washington
express said one of the younger NJ.
As, She's carrying the Hong Kong
baseball team 10 the opening game
or the International Aerial league sea
son at Washington tomorrow. That
ought to be a typhoon of a game, Good
thing they've got the mechanical UNI
pres perfected now. No living man
would stand a show umpiring for that
punch tomorrow. Seems impossible to
think that any human being was ever
reckless enough to act as umpire of a
baseball game, the way they did back
in 1912 or thereabouts. | wonder why
they did it?"
why did they do it?" grunted old
Captain MacManus. Because they
were men III those days, that's why.
They weren't like you delicate, air
nourished infants who are afraid to
come nearer than 500 feet to earth for
fear of hitting the microbe strata.
Why, in my early days, we Pune

me. l was the first man to introduce
air ships into the international game

baseball And that was when they
still played the game on the ground

who first gave people the idea of ele-
waiting the game t. it's present high

tain. They used to kill people for
perpetrating such things in the old
days"
Never mind" said MacManus. THE

A Cute Quaker.

One morning Quaker happening to
rise before any other member of his
household, was surprised to find that
his house had been burglared during
the night, and several small but val
liable articles stolen.
After considering the matter for a
while. he decided, however, to raise no
alarm, not even to tell his wife, Cor
the present
His cuteness was quickly rewarded.
Late in the afternoon of the same day
he was stopped by a neighbor.
Il am sorry to hear of your misfor-
tune" said the neighbor. Has the
rascal taken much?"
The Quaker smiled

slyly, that the rascal should put such
a question to me? Where has thou

good tanning bee me and Bill had
when we had to go up to the 10000
foot level and lay waiting for a storm
to settle down below.
BILL said to him on one of these
occasions, who's going to win the pen
nant this year?
I'VE are, says he. I'm in great
form this year
But Chicagos running you an aw-
full close race, Bill | said. They're
keeping only one game behind you
That's where we want them says
Bill It's frameup. We're going to
run a~ay from the other teams in the
league. Chi and New York will be
tied up to the last game. Chicago
fans will be willing to bet their heads
off. We've got the money to bet 'em.
Then well win
But how do you know you'll win,
Bill?' l asked
I'm going to pitch, says he.
Don't tell anybody. This is just be-
tween you and me-
That made me feel pretty warm
toward the great man, and l put my
self out to make it as pleasant as
could for him when he was riding with
me, and he appreciated it and pretty
soon we were the best friends in the
world.
We'll, finally It came the day before
the game that was to settle the league
championship, and sure enough, just
as Bill had said Chicago and New
York were tied for first place, and one
game would settle the hash That
night Bill took flight down to Atlantic
, City with me to settle his nerves, and
suddenly he says to me, Mac, I'm up
against it,
'Why?' says l.
1--we got to throw the game to-
morrow
"'Bill!' | says, Mortified.
Yes, he says, that's just What I've
got to do
"'You can't, said; and then told
him what I'd done. Knowing that
he was going to pitch and win, I'd gone

Told in a Few Words.

An Englishman had bought through
an agent an estate in the northern
Highlands, and when summer came
he went to inspect it. One part of his
journey was by coach, and he thought
to get some information about the
place from the driver. So after some
preliminaries you may know a
place called Cloch ma Kilty?' Il do
that" "And what do you think of the
placer" Il will not be thinking

SELF DELUSION.
Many People Deceived by Coffee.

We like to defend our indulgencies
and habits even though we may be
convinced of their actual harmfulness.
A man can convince himself that
whiskey is good for him on cold
morning, or beer on a hot summer day
when he wants the whiskey or beer.
It's the same with coffee Thou
sands of people suffer headache and
nervousness year after year but try to
persuade themselves the cause is not
coffee-because they like coffee.
while yet a child l commenced
using coffee and continued it, writes
a Wis. man, until / was regular
coffee fiend / drank it every morning
and in consequence had a binding
headache nearly every afternoon.
my folks thought 1t was coffee that
allied me, but liked it and would not
admit it was the cause of my trouble,
so / stuck to coffee and the headaches
stuck to me.
Finally, the folks stopped buying
coffee and brought home some Postum.
They made it right directions on

ence it would make with my head, and
during that first week on Postum my
old afiiction did not bother me once.

Rebekahs Entertain

Owing to the rain Tuesday even
ing the Rebekahs did not have their
regu lar meeting and a special meet
ing was called for Wednesday even
ing to confer the degree. Just be-
fore the close of the meeting Miss
Bertha Dierks announced the en-
gagement of Miss Lena Wunch to-
Charles Brown of near Portland,
Oregon. The date of the wedding
was not announced but as tn e
groom to be was here and expected
to take his bride home with him
the superstition was that the event
would be soon. The members ar
ranged for a meeting Friday even
ing and very pleasant social even
ing was spent.
Miss Lena Wunch was charter
member of the Lodge and during
the five and a half years of its or
ganization she has been absent less
than five times. She has been con-
ductor in the degree staff for three
years and is a Past Noble Grand.
She will be greatly missed by the
Rebekahs.
During the evening Mrs. O. R.
Emerson presented her, in rhyme,
in the name of the Lodge. a beauti-
full piece of cut glass and silver.
After refreshments were served
the members departed, wishing
their sister every joy in her new
home.

SALT PUT TO VARIED USES
Invaluable to Mankind Though as a
Condiment It Should Be EN-
ployed Sparingly.

If food Is tasteless without salt, It is
ruined with too much. Unappetizing
cooking is often due to guesswork,
A level teaspoonful of salt is sufficient
FOR quart Of soup, sauce, or vege-
tables.
Salt used once a day is an excellent
dentrifrice, tending to keep off tar
Jar. 1t is said to retard receding
gums
A half teaspoonful of salt added to
a cup of hot water-which many per.
sons take each morning-will make it
palatable.
Do not gargle with salt water.
Throat specialists consider it injuri-
Gus to the tender mucous membrane
of the nose.
Salt water rots the hair, SO never
fail to rinse with fresh water after
sea bathing
To set color in wash materials and
embroidery cottons soak them in
strong salt water.
An excellent tonic for nervous peo-
pie is to take salt rubs twice day.
AS sea salt dissolves slowly, some of
1t can be kept in solution in a glass
jar to be ready when needed.
When a child is inclined to bow
legs or to have a weak back, rub it
night and morning with strong salt
water.
a faded carpet is freshened If
wiped off with wet cloth wrung from
strong salt water. Sprinkle floor with
dampened salt and sweep we'll.
Bad dyspepsia can be helped by dis
solving pinches of salt on the tongue
after eating, or when there is sense
of oppression.

"Wilkie Clark, a catcher. who was
at one time in the big league, has
been negotiating for the purchase
of the Boise Club from Owner
Bossner ever since the latter visit
ed here a week ago. Clark man
aged the Visalia team in Califor-

success at that. Clark coached
the Occidental College nine
through a most successful season
and also handled the University
of Minnesota baseball team in the
same capacity. He was always
noted for "heady" baseball play
er and the only reason he did not
stick was because he did not have
the endurance to work an entire
season at the clip he always
starts"
