DENVER, Aug. 2e.-(Special Telegram)
Blowing to the superior twirllng Of M.
Blodgett, the Bears today dropped the
second game Of the series to Omaha, 6
TO 2, and with the defeat lost a grand
opportunity to sneak up in Isbelrs Boost
ers, who were given a sound walloping
in the Wichita double-header.
The Rourkes plugged steadily away at
Cantwell throughout the game and there
was never chance from the first inning
on the Cubs to call the game their own.
CnntveII Given support.
In the eighth inning, three batters faced
Cantwell and each one of them drew a
clean hit. Wells, first up, doubled, but
was caught out at the plate, Spencer to
Spahr trying to make two sacks on
Krugs single. Krug was caught out
stealing and the same fate befell Nc
Chesney, after the latter had singled.
In each case il was perfect whipping that
turned the trick, with Spencer and Larry
as the artists
The Colts slowed the game away in the
first frame. Breen singled and Cantwell
gave Forsythe a life. Wells hit to
Kelleher, who kicked and the bases were
full. Krug's single brought two runs
across and McChesney's sacrifice fly
added the other.
How Denver Scored.
The Bears could not break through
Blodgett until the fourth. when Kelleher
walked, went to third on SpenceTs hit
and came in on sacrifice fly by Gallo
way. The other Denver run was tailed
in identically the same fashion In the
sixth.
clean home run clout over the fence
gave the Rourkes their fourth run in the

The pair of us had been in Athens three or four days when party cf English eXcurSioniSts who were mak- ing tour arrived. Among them was an antiquary who was looked up to and respected for his knowledge of ancient history and ruins.
 Professor HimStead, as ne was named, had been charged to pick up all the old Greek manuscripts to be had for mon ey, and 1t was his inquiries for such documents that doubtless led to our un- doing. One day a man named Talantl, who had somewhat the manners and dress of a gentleman, brought the pro lessor two ancient manuscripts as a present, and to show his further good will he announced valuable discovery which had just been made on the is- land of Aegina, about forty miles dis tant. He was the owner of the island. and while his workmen were getting out some stone they had come across some rare treasures in art. but had de- yeloped only q small portion of them. They had partly uncovered stone boX which be believed held large number of manuscripts and valuable coins, but he had delayed the opening of it that some of his friends might be present. Three or four of them were going to his island home tomorrow, and he would be glad to have on his yacht as many of us foreigners go along as could make it convenient.
 Aside from the English party, there were Americans, Germans and French men to the number of twenty in Ath- ems, and when the list was made up we numbered over forty, of whom ten were ladies. When we went on board there was considerable surprise at find ing her the craft she was. She was nothing more than a trader and her accommodations were of a primitive character.
 My friend the professor could speak Greek, but when he entered into con | yersation with Mir Talantfs friends he found them sulky enough. This eXcit- ed our surprise, as they were supposed to be gentlemen. When we came to look them over we began to get little suspicious. s. :.
 AS we approached the island We saw 1t was fairly covered with trees, yet it did not have hospitable look. As We made a close approach we could see a couple of rude huts and a primitive iattT. but Mir. Talanti explained that

The coldest place on earth inhabited by man is Verkhoyansk, above the arc tic circle. in northeastern Siberia. The thermometer there drops to 90 degrees below zero In January, but sometimes rises to SC degrees above zero in the shade in July, dropping, however, to the freezing point on the warmest sum- mer nights.
 The hottest place In the world is the interior of the great Sahara desert, in Africa, where the thermometer rises to 122 degrees. The wettest place is Greytown, Nicaragua, where the mean annual rainfall is 260 inches. The place of least rain is Port Nolloth, in South Africa, where less than an inch sometimes falls in year.

as a matter of fact. MT. Talanti was not even pursued. He never could have put up such job without num- Der of officials standing in with him. and each and every one of them doubt, less shared in the plunder when 1t was divided. It was said that the money and jewclry amounted to about S6,000, and the only consolation any of the victims had was the privilege of abus- ing country where such things could be carried out.
 Look Aheadl
 There are some persons who ride all through the journey of life with their backs to the horses head. They are always looking into the past. They are forever talking about the good old times and how different things were when they were young. There is no romance in the world now, and no heroism. The very winters and sum- mers are nothing to what they used to be. In fact, life is altogether on a small, commonplace scale. Now, that is a miserable sort of thing. It brings kind of paralyzing chill over life and petrifies the natural spring of joy that should be forever leaping up to meet the fresh new mercies that the day keeps bringing.-EXchange

HARD ON SHERIFFS.
Senator Nixon Has Bill Cutting Out
Paying Work.

George Nixon. state senator from
Sumner county, seems to have a little
grudge against some Kansas sheriffs
and has introduced "a set of bills that
will cut off considerable work of the
sherirs. One bill provides that when
jurors are to be summoned that the
sheriff. instead OF making a trip to
the jurors home may summon him by
telephone or by registered mall
Formerly the sheriffs got a big fee
and mileage for serving a summons but
since 1913 this money goes into the
county treasury So there is no real rea-
son for collecting It.
Another bill provides that instead of
the sheriffs going out and posting the
notices Of the primary and general elec-
ton in each township that the county
clerk is to send to each township trus-
tee three copies of the .-imary and
general election notice ard the trustee
is to post them in conspicuous places in
his township.
Some of the sherfffs in some counties
have been doing a good deal of cam
paigning for themselves and their
friends at county expense said Mr..
Nixon When they are out summon
ing the jurors and out posting these
election and primary notices they take
along lot of their own personal cards
and some literature for themselves or
their party and their friends and act
ually make their campaigns. They are
allowed their expenses for the trips.
livery and meals and they get to every
part of the county. visit their friends.
meet the voters and wage an effective
personal campaign. all at the expense
OF the county. Thre is no real reason
why this should be done as the Jurors
could just as well be notified that they
nave been drawn on a jury, by tele-
phone or by registered letter and the
township trustee could just as well
post those three notices. 1t would save
long trips and heavy expense and pre-
vent sheriff from doing his campaign
ing at the expense Of the county"

IT GETS HIM UP, TOO
Deaf Mute Has an Alarm Clock That
Tickles His Ribs.

Albany. n. Y, Jan. 15.-An alarm
clock that awakens him by poke in
the ribs is owned by Earl Catkins, a
deaf mute of No. 191 Clinton avenue.
Catkins, who is a printer and has to
arise early, complained recently in the
sign language to Arthur White OF
Rochester that he had great difficulty
in awakening on time.
TN send you an alarm clock that
will get you up sure" signalled White.
Quit your kidding" was Catkins' $
reply. How could I hear the alarm ?"
But few days ago the alarm
clock" arrived. 1t is a real clock. A
stick is attached to the alarm mechan-
ism in such a way that when the hour
arrives the stick reaches out and prods
the sleeper
Catkins has not been late for work
since the clock arrived.
