NEW YORK. Oct. Pat Moran's
Philadelphia Nationals will probably
go into the coming worlds tilt the
biggest dark horses" that ever faced
starting gun in the October derby
The Braves OF last year were com.
paratively unknown before the series,
but there was world Of dope on
them, however. reliable as compared
with the Quakers this hectic year.
The Braves went into the series with
fighters for glory that goes to team
that fights Its way to the top. The
Phillies haven't had such a trip to
pennantville. They loped along on an
even f1fty-f1fty keel, never having to
fight very hard and letting their riv-
ais cut each others threats. Aside
from very definite opinion Of what
Alexander is, no one knows a whole
lot about the Phils.
About the only comparison that can
be made that isn't wholly odfous is
to compare the Phfls with the 1912
Giants, who faced the Red Sox in that
memorable eight game series. And
Moran's men do not compare with the
crowd that McGraw led against Stahl
then. The Giants batted about fifty
points more as a team. they were
well fortified with utility men and
had three pitchers ranking as stars.
The old giant machine then was at
its highest point of ef1cfency--Mar.
ouard and Tesreau were budding on
the edge of stardom and Mathewson
was In his prime. Yet the Red So1
OF 1912 who were admittedly weaker
than the Red sox OF 1915 won the
series.
With the exception OF the great
Alexander, Moran's tribe is Just a.
rig crowd OF baseball insists as
were the Braves 1t is a club thrown
tegcsher from the cast offs OF other
teams and thrown together not with
any harmonious idea. but with an eye
to saving the dollar in the face OF
what looked to be bad season
The PhiIs are going into this series
in much the same order the Braves
did last season. in that on paper they
are hopelessly outclassed The Braves
won four straight games. an unheard
Of feat. And the Phils-wait till Oc-
tober II.

WAITING FOR UNcLE's WEALTH.

But could youth last and love still breed,
Had joys no date and age no need,
Then these delights my mind might move
To live with thee and be thy love.
The young man who is brought up
on the food of great expectations is
living on very unhealthy diet. He is
born with golden spoon dangling be-
fore his mouth From boyhood to man
hood he continually hears on the lips
of his relatives: Our boy will be rich
some day. He is the only heir to his
old bachelor uncle's wealth."
This robs the lad of his ambition to
strike out and hew his own way
through the worlds rocky road. He
sits back with the assurance that his
fortune is already made for him. His
home folks encourage him in his de-
termination not to wear himself out
with work. His acquaintance soon
learn that he is to be his uncle's heir,
a fact which maLnmas of manageable
daughters heed with due considera-
ton.
The heir-to-be is petted and courted.
made to believe that he is just a trife
better than other young fellows. He
can choose his boon companions, those
whom he will among the young men.
They all believe that he will soon come
into large sum of money, his uncle's
fortune, and that he would be good
one to know. They do their share Of
counting, fiattering and spelling him
A dolled-up coquette succeeds in at
tracing his fancy. She has only her
beauty to depend on, but she is the
kind of girl who makes the most of
it. She takes her chance of marrying
him, because of his great expectations.
There is no one else to inherit his
uncles money and delays are danger
GUS
The old uncle, who by frugality has
laid by his fortune, is the first to Tca-
lie the state of affairs. Good feeling
can change when man sees that
others are counting the time until they
can step into his shoes. After long de-
liberation, many an uncle has conclud-
ed that if his fortune was to be spent
in short order he might as we'll do It
as to give it into the hands of others
for that purpose. When a bachelor
falls into this frame of mind the next
thought which comes to him is why
not follow my nephew's example and
take a bride?"
He remembers pleasant-faced
woman who nursed him back to health
through his long illness. The upshot
of the matter is he weds her. OF
course there is wailing and gnashing
of teeth in the nephew's home. But
that does not change the situation.
The nephew wakes to the knowledge
that he must begin to carve out his
own fortune if he would have any.
He is too old to commence at the bot
tom of the ladder. The wife who weds
him for his great expectations leaves
him, and he drags out an unhappy
existence. No matter how rich mans
relatives may be he should not place
any hope of inheriring from them
dollar There's many a slip 'twixt
the cup and the lip"

FARMERS PLAN INTERURBAN
Plan to Raise $125,ooo for Twelve-mile
Line From Towards Grove to
Franklin, Wis.

Sheboygan.-Plans are now being
made for the organization of what is
believed will be the first farmers in

tainly in Wisconsin.
The farmers of the towns of Sheboy-
gan and Herman and the unincorpor-
ated villages of Towards Grove,
Franklin and Mission House, filed
petition with the Sheboygan Railway
and Electric company, asking that an
interurban line be built from Sheboy-
gan, through Towards Grove to Kiel,
for the proposed extension to Chiffon.
A committee met officers of the COM
pany and was informed that the COM
pany plans to extend the line now run
ming to Plymouth and Elkhart Lake,
to Kiel, New Holstein and Chiffon, but
that if the farmers would organize a
company and construct a road to How
ards Grove and Franklin, the Sheboy-
gan Railway and Electric company
will build the trolley line and furnish
the power Those interested must
raise S125,OO0 to build twelve miles of
track, including two bridges.

STATE INSTITUTIONS
FACE FIRE HAZARDS
INVESTIGATION SHOWS NEED OF
IMMEDIATE PREVENTION
MEASURES.
MENTION PRISON AT WAUPUN
SprlnkIing System and Fire Escapes
Recommended by Engineers
Housing Conditions
Are Good.

Madiscn.-That serious fire haZ-
ards exist in Wisconsin charitable
and penal properties. summarizes
the conclusions in a report submitted
by H. P. Weaver and w. G. West,
fire prevention engineers of the In
dependence inspection bureau of
Philadelphia, to Commissioner of In
surance Herman L. Ekern, for the
state insurance fund.
The report covers state insane asy-
lums at Oshkosh and Mendoza, the
Chippewa Falls Home for the Feeble
Minded, the GAINESVILLE School for the
Blind, the Delavan School for the
Deaf, the Sparta Children's home,
the Milwaukee Industrial School for
Girls, the Waukesha Industrial
School for Boys, the Green Bay re-
formatory, and the state prison at
Waupun.
The reports generally praise the
housekeeping conditions and the care
of the properties by the superintend-
ents of the different institutions, and
finds that these are far above the av-
erage in like institutions elsewhere.
The inadequacy of present water
supplies at the different institutions
for fire fighting purposes is empha-
sized. One important recommends
ton is that of a general sprinkler
equipment for nine of the largest
state properties.
The danger of loss of life in the
institutions where the inmates are
confined is especially emphasized.
This applies particularly to the in
sane asylums, the Sparta Home for
Children, and the Milwaukee Indus
trial School for Girls.
