NEW YORK, May 45-There is fire
in The eyes of John McGraw and an
ger in the hearts of Harry Hemp
stead and John Foster over the TWEEN
ty-one player rule that was forced
upon the National League this season
with malice aforethought. or other
wise, but mainly through the instiga-
ton of Barney Dreyfuss. None of the
above mentioned trio ever thought
enough Of the player limit to make it
the cause of a general celebration,
and they like it still less since the
recent performance of Pitcher Chal-
mers Of Philadelphia.
For two years this same Chalmers
vainly attempted to break into the
game as a regular game. Last fall
he went out during practice sessions
and showed Scout Kinsella a lot Of
things that made the ivory-comber
real joyous. but when Kinsella would
have impressed his own valuation of
Chalmers on his boss he succeeded
as rapidly as a German getting the
English viewpoint on the cause OF the
biggest thing in all the world.
Hence, when the twenty-one player
rule forced McGraw to look around
for someone to let go, the Little Ma

appreciation. Chalmers worked hard
and got in excellent shape. Chalmers
regretted leaving the United States
for Philadelphia but he went with
gratitude over the fact that he still
remained a big Lacquer.
His next appearance was In New
York in Philly uniform. The result
of his spring training showed in the
box score which recorded that the
Giants made two hits and that seven
of them famed. And New York IL

WAGE FIGHT AGAINST FLOOD
Concerted Action Necessary When
the Levees Break, or Damage Is
Liable to Be Enormous.

/ The levee officials order millions of
sacks which are distributed at con-
venient river points, working parties
are organized, boats chartered, and
guards stationed to patrol the levees
! day and night. AS the river begins
ito cover the land and press against
the levees, every weakness is at once
strengthened with sand bags, or the
building of cribs to receive the in
coming water, and by raising it to
the same height as the flood outside,
prevent the further action of cut
ting current of water. Sometimes
hundreds of men are engaged in add
ing to the width and height of a
levee, using road machines and
graders as well as sand bags. When
a break occurs, all the people living
in the district likely to be inundated
must be warned, live stock driven to
sites safe from flood, and RATS pro-
vided by those who have no boats, and
cannot get away in time to avoid in
undation which steadily fills the low
er swamps and grounds and finally
finds the level of the river current.

NOT ALWAYS PAID IN MONEY
oIdtime Publishers of Newspapers
Known to Have Been Recon-

M. G. Tracy of Macon, Ca, tells the
following story of the time when to-
bacco and pigs were used as money:
81 we'll remember, along in the SOS,
of seeing great stacks or bundles of TO-
bacco piled up on one side of the
along in 1856. The tobacco repre-
scented receipts on subscriptions Each
bundle contained ten pounds of to-
bacco, and was good to make the SUBJ
scribers solid with the paper for one
year. The tobacco was weighed in
the Office and the subscriber was
credited with ten cents pound, the
market price The tobacco offered
the editor was of the finest quality
and used only for cigars. There was
a large factory in Huntsville, where
a great many slaves were employed in
getting the tobacco ready for the mar
ket. The editor sent his tobacco off
along with that of the shippers and
received his money when they did.
Back of the newspaper Office was a
pen, WnoTo Iuo oullOT WOdlu Keep pigs
and small stock taken on subscrip-
tons. There was but very little money
in the country, and such things as the
farmers raised passed as legal tender.
A newspaper Office was practically
warehouse for country products.
1.-THE most remarkable payment on
newspaper subscriptions, perhaps, was
that rendered by subscriber to the
old Bloomington Gazette, somewhere
in the 40's. The subscriber had
large, fiat tombstone which had been
erected at the head of some of his
ancestors graves. He had long for
gotten who the ancestors were, and
as the editor needed a smooth stone
to mix his ink on, he found the re-
verse of the monument to be just the
thing and promptly credited the sub
scriber with his subscription for the
stone, and both felt the richer by the
trade"

PROHIBITION BOUND TO COME.

1t is only a question of time wher
Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey
and the other eastern states will align
themselves on the side of prohibition
as have West Virginia, Georgia and
other states. I vast to say that it
will be happy day when this has
been done. Years of the past show
that the liquor traffic has worked
against the good of the country. 1t is
an odd fact that no state in recent
years, after adopting prohibition, has
rescinded that vote. All of which
goes to prove that it is prohibition
that the country wants, and is bound
to have within a short term of years.
