The different angles of the John

Walter signed a. Federal league
contract while in a huff and has re-
gretted it ever since. 1t happened in
this way: Last summer we offered
Walter contract good for $4,000.
1t was for $4,000 for five years and
was absolutely ironclad. He didn't
have to pitch game season to get
his coin. - He refused to sign it
against my advice. That was when
the papers were full of stuff about
the Federal league putting. $75,00C
in the bank for him. After giving
Johnson plenty of time to think it all
over, President Minor withdrew that
offer and when Johnso lett home it
was agreed that we were to take the
matter up later.
Along came Jones with that ST.
Louis offer of S20, 900 for three years
and Walter wrote, telling, me all
about it. Minor replied, asking him
" OCA0- Liz "dSu1uSIOu- CluU LIS
terms. He demanded $4,000 year
for three years. The club then Of
fered him $12,500 a year for three
years. Joe Tinker showed up then
and talked Walter into signing for
two years. His salary was to have
been $17,500 a season and he got
$4,000 advance money. But he had
nothing but a piece of paper to show
for the other $4,000.
I'VE Immediately notified Walter
there was not a chance for him to
pitch for the Federals next season
because his contract with us was le-
gally binding for 1915 and he agreed
finally that if, I could prove that to
his satisfaction he would reconsider.
We met in Kansas City and left it to

which Johnson wrote Immediately
afterward.
Gilmore said he had in his pos
session the contract under which
Walter. worked last season He de-
clared the document called for $10,-
900, of which $500 was for salary.
The remaining $500 was paid to
give the Washington club an option
on Johnson's services after the ex-
piration of the contract Gilmore as
serted that the Senators lost any
rights the option, might have given
them when they failed to agree on
terms with the hurler after months
of dickering.
Gilmore has wired johnson an offer
to come to Chicago at the expense of
the Federal league and submit his
contracts to the opinion of three dis
interested lawyers, all parties con-
cerned to abide by the decision of
the legal lights.
At his home in coffeyViIIe yester-

Real Tragedy Of the Stage.

A beautiful actress, Fraulein Da>
mer, was killed by accident recently,
while playing at the Theater Of Va
rieties at Berne, Switzerland. The last
act of the comedy, THE Pride Of the
Third Company" was coming to an
end when Fraulein Darfner fell
through defective stage trap to q
distance of six feet and fractured her
skull. The actress was carried uncon-
scious to her room and a doctor was
In prompt attendance. but the case
was beyond his help, and as the cur
tain fell on the comedy on the stage
the girl died. Neither the members Of
the company who took the final call"
nor the public, who wondered why the
actress did not appear, had the slight
est idea of the tragedy that had oc-
Cured behind the scenes.

n VERY little girl has right to play
Il In the water and to learn to swim
and be as much at home in it as her
brother Is. The adventurous spirit of
boyhood takes him out with his fell
lows and if water is within reach he
" apt to learn to swim. Girls make
splendid swimmers, and the mere
knowledge that they possess this ac-
complishment keeps them from get
ting panicky when Joining in the
water sports Of their companions.
The most noted swimmer in this
country is Miss Annette Kellerman.
Quite likely there are numbers of
men who swim as well and have as
much endurance. But no one of them
can do better and no one of them can
look half as we'll as this sister to the
mermaids. The exercise develops all
the muscles of the body in the most
uniform manner. The pleasure of
swimming and the tonic of cool water
are both healthful.
Nothing could be better designed
for the little girls water sports than
the simple onepiece garment shown
in the picture. 1t is cut in two pieces,
consisting of the perfectly plain waist
and tho boomers. But these two

pieces are machine-stitched together
in the finished garment.
Brilliantine or mohair, in a good
quality, is about the most appropriate
material for these bathing suits.
Whatever material is used for the
suit, or for trimming, must be shrunk.
Blue in bright, strong tones, or gray
or certain shades of green and red,
will all stand the water and sun. But
the old reliable combination of blue
in bright navy trimmed with white
braid cannot be improved upon for
good looks or durability. Small pearl
buttons make a fine bit of finishing
used with white mohair braid.
The little rubbercloth caps are to
be had in all the bright colors and in
checked and spotted patterns. These
caps are made also in plaids and
stripes in brilliant colors. They are
usually bought ready made AS the
rubber cloth may be bought 1t is a
good idea to add an odd bit of trim
ming made Of 1t, to distinguish the
cap from others. One can keen an
eye on the small wearer, II her cap Ia
recognizable, and allow her more free
dom in her water play.

For the small family OF simple
tastes, nothing could be more appro-
pirate for residence than a bunga-
low built according to the design here
shown.
This Is bungalow designed in the
true western or southern spirit, but
30 modified as to make it a substan-
tial and comfortable residence for the
severest climates.
The exterior is sided with boards
seven-eighths inch thick, left with a
rough finish, and stained a soft olive
green. This style of siding Is very
effective in bungalow work, and is
probably the cheapest of any of the
styles Of siding. Shingles are Just
about as cheap, so far as the mate
rial is concerned; but the high labor
cost, these days, for applying them,
brings the total cost Of the Job UP
equal to that of finished clapboarding.
The extra thickness of this rough sid.
ing is in its favor, also, where warmth
and durability are Of Importance.
The gable ends Of this bungalow
are finished with cement plaster,
which may be either of the natural
gray color of Portland cement, or
mixed with white cement if lighter

HIS GRAVE KEPT FRAGRANT
Samoan Islanders for Twenty Years
Have Held Robert Louis Steven
son in Loving Memory.

How many of the lovers of Robert
Louis Stevenson-the modern who
was an ancient, the ancient who was
modern, the contemporary who be-
came a classic because he translated
new things into thoughts for all time
how many of those millions who
have fallen under his spell know that
it has been 20 years since he died?
How many know that 10 years ago
the bronze tablet was erected over
his tomb in a far-away South Sea isle
for endless generations to read and
wonder at?
1t was 20 years ago next December
that Stevenson died at Valima, near
Apia, on the island of Upolu, in the
Samoan group, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Since then he has slept
in distant grave, but not in a neg
lected one. For the natives of that
island keep his tomb on the lonely
mountainside fragrant with flowers.
The Tomb Of Tusitula," they call it
that was the great Scots Samoan
name.
Stevenson went to live in Samoa in
1887. He was a comparatively young
man. but he had seen the vanities
Of the world, and, captivated by the
climate, the scenery, and the kindly
character of the natives, he at once
determined to live out whatever space
of life might remain to him in that
fortunate island. And there he did
live for seven years. Long ere he
died he wrote his own epitaph, and
that epitaph is engraved on the brass
tablet that was put there 10 years
ago.
1t is carved on lasting bronze, but
like Horace, he raised himself mon
ument even more enduring than
bronze. The natives who keep his
grave fragrant will all die, some day,
and their descendants will be benevo-
lently assimilated. But all the chill
dren who speak the English tongue
will pluck perennial flowers from the
child's garden of verses for that tomb;
and all boys will know Upolu as the
real Treasure Island.

NAPOLEON ON WAY TO ELBA
Sad Journey for Man Who Had Al.
most Become the Master Of the
Civilized World.

fresh letter arrived recently de-
scribing Bonaparte's conduct during
his journey from Fontainebleau to
Elba, says the London Globe of May
IL, 1914. Subjoined is an extract:
In the early part of his journey
Bonaparte took his meals alone, but
when the unpleasant rumors from the
south and the tumult in most of the
towns through which he passed had
thoroughly convinced him that the
people were ready to proceed to the
most cruel extremities he saw that
his only chance of escaping was to
assume the uniform of an Austrian Of
ticer."
He then determined to also renounce
the part of emperor and to take his
repasts with the commissioners who
escorted him, and to whom he owed
the preservation of his life.
The decision, however, was proceed
ed by a flood of tears. The first day
that he sat down with the commits
sioners it was observed that he ate
nothing and that he secretly threw
aside the victuals which he raised to
his mouth. He was afraid of being
poisoned!
The following day he requested per-
mission for his own cook to dress his
dinner, which was granted; and the
same man who the day before pre-
tended to be i'll fell foul of the dishes
with an eagerness bordering on vo-
racity.
Throughout the whole journey he
betrayed the strongest apprehension
and preserved a solemn silence. But
as he approached the coast and per
ceived the Mediterranean fleet and
sails Of the vessels lying IL the road,
his heart expanded and he began
to talk with extreme volubility, but,
as usual. very incoherently.
1t is said that In his conversation
with Marshal Augereau he several
times observed: IT'S all over with
me in Europe, but Asia wants a
man"

rich fabric, folds, covered cords, tucks
and plaits, very neatly made Of the
material, provide the best of all dec
orations. There IL something about
the distinctive Character Of this un-
usual product which precludes much
ornamentation.
In the construction of apparel for
mourning it should be borne in mind
that extremes of style are inappro-
pirate. Conservative designs in
dresses and hats are in good form
always and in mourning costumes
they are imperative.
In the matter OF decoration, also,
the forms that show careful workman
ship and express a sedateness in
choice are consistent and therefore
beautiful.
In millinery there is a wider range
in choice of trimmings, but, after all,
none looks SO we'll as forms Of flow
