GOTHAM WANTS THE
"BEAN" BOYS NOW

New York. Sept. 1s.-The prelim
battlers give the fight fans the best
run for their money. Star bouts nine
times out of ten are disappointments-
The "Pork-an-Beaner" boys know
nothing about the science of the game.
All they know is that they are in the
ring for the purpose of slamming
each other and they surely do slam.
There's action every minute. They
stand toe to toe and slug-and do
nothing else but slug.
The prelim boys know little -
nothing about the art Of defense. They
know only a slight bit of the science
Of the game. And> because OF this
ignorance they really do what the
fans want them to do-hght-
The Packey McFarland-Mike Glib
bons bout was a big disappointment
simply because both boys knew too
much about the scientific end OF the
game. . Both were clever in ducking
too clever, in fact. Many blows miss
ed the target simply because the tar
get had moved out of the way. The
nshters clinched SO frequently thas
they were booed and Missed by some
Of the crowd. Yet that's what is TO
be expected when two ring generals
get together. They don't stand toe
to-toe and exchange wallops. They
tump in and out again-if they can.
If they can't jump out they clinch.
so as to bar the other fellow from
swinging.
The "beaner" boys for ours in the
future.

DARIO RESTA MAKES
new MOTOR RECORD
Drives Pegueot Car Ten Miles Over
Sheepshead Bay Motordrome Track
in Minutes 81 As Seconds.

New York. Sept. 1S.-All motor car
speed records for ten miles were
shattered by DariO Resta in Pegueot
car at the opening of the new Sleeps
head Bay MotordrOme this afternoon.
Resta not only covered the ten miles
on the two-mile board oval twenty
two seconds faster than any man has
ever driven a machine before, but his
time, $50 As. figured out at the aston
ishing rate of 1854 miles per hour.
The best previous record for ten miles
was 5:55, and was made by Resta on
the Chicago motordrome some time
ago. Resta. after the trial. said that
the Sheepshead Bay Motordrome was
the fastest race track in the world.
He said:
II did not let my car out to its best
speed: the highest l got out of her
was ia miles an hour. but under diff
ferent conditions ! believe l can make
1870 miles an hour on this track
Yesterdays trial marked the in
formal opening of the big speedway
prior to the big 350-mile race for the
Astor Cup which will be held October
. and in response to the invitation of
the management a big crowd drove
down TO Coney Island to inspect the
track.

OAKES DESERVING
OF HALL OF FAME

New York. Sept 1S.-Carve a niche in
the Hall of Fame for T. Ennis ('RebelD
Oakes, the greatest playing manager in
the game today-the man who put Pitts
burgh back on the baseball map, and by
his brilliant leadership of a one-time
Joke ball club probably will bring to
the Smoky City the 1915 championship of
the Federal League.
Placed m charge of the Rebels in June.
1914. more as an experiment than any
thing else, Oakes has made good in a
way that is startling. and although he
has been forced to operate part of this
season with a weakened pitching staff,
he kept his men in the fight all the way.
and now looks sure winner.
Tis said that player who tries to
manage a ball club handicaps himself
one way or the other: either his playing
deteriorates or he flivyers as a manager.
But Oakes stands oft today as one OF
the striking exceptions.
Oakes ranked as one of the best out
fielders in the National League when he
hurdled the St. Louis Cardinals in the
spring of 1914 and took unto himself a
job as center fielder for the Pittsburgh
Rebels. Despite the managerial cares
that have been thrust upon him. he
stands out today as one of the most val
liable ball players in any league.

Batting Battle in National.

The battle for the batting leader-
ship in the National League furnishes
side issue almost as interesting as
the league race itself. Five men are
in the fight. and they have been al
ternating in the lead for over
stretch of three months.
Just now. Luderus. the Phillies
slugger, has the slightest advantage,
clouting around 325. Doyle, of the
Giants, is close on his heels with
800. while Snyder. the st. Louis
catcher. is running a close third. with
31S Long and Gonzales. also OF ST.
Louis, are fourth and fifth respective
ly. less than IL points behind the
leading Luderus. and close enough to
overhaul him if they SHOULD connect
with a batting streak that would carry
them through to the end Of the sea-
son.

Batters Didn't Help Cards.

The Cardinals. as you Will note.
have three men clouting above 800.
No other club in the league has more
than one-yet the Cardinals are in
second division. This just bears out
our remarks some weeks ago that it's
the pitchers who turn the trick for
q ball club. Had Huggins been given
any kind Of pitching. his club would
be considerably among those pres
ent-probably SO far ahead Of the
seven other clubs that the st. Louis
fans right now could go out and make
reservations for their world series
tickets.

Using Dogs In War.

, Considering how obviously fitted dogs are for police work and cer tain services in war it Is curious that more use has not been made of them in modern times.
 Of course, now that hand-to-hand fighting is to all intents and purposes extinct, dogs are no longer formidable in war, but for sentry duty or the finding of wounded on the battlefield. dogs-as was shown during the Rus so-Japanese war-can be of great service.
 The ancients employed dogs ex tensively as sentries. So also did the Emperor Charles V and Philip, king of Spain, while Napoleon urged Mar mont to fasten dogs to stakes around the walls of Alexandria to keer guard.
 Dog senses are very much mors acute than those of human beings especially the senses of scent and hearing, which, of course, are invalu able for police work.

NO ROOM FOR THE WINNER
World Has Little Use for Man Who Looks HahituaIIy Through Eyes
 of Gloom.

He who thinks the world is full of good people and kindly blessings is much richer than he who thinks the contrary Each mans imagination largely peoples the world for himself. Some live in a world peopled with princes of the royal blood; some in a world of paupers and privation. You have your choice.
 This is a big, busy world It cares precious little what you think of it, or what faults or troubles you find iD it. It is a choice that concerns your self more than all others combined, whether you grouch in the gloom, the companion of hateful goblins, or stride in the sunshine, seeing smiles and catching shreds of song.
 Men and women in Gods image were not made as whining, groveling beings They were made to stand erect, men tally as well as physically; to labor well and joyously; to take the gifts of Providence, whether they be joy or sor row, and bear them cheerfully and with courage; to add ever something to the worlds store of happiness, if it be only a smile.
 Look up! See how flooded with sun shine this beautiful world is when faced with smiling eyes.
 If you would win anything, do any thing, be anything, don't whine.- Christian Herald.

HISTORY OF VISITING CARE
Became Popular In Europe In Time of Louis XIV and at One Period
 Was Ornamental.

Some authorities hold that the origin of the visiting card lay in the circum- stance that when Pericles first laid siege to the heart of Aspasia he sent her a bouquet to which, fearful lest she might not guess from whom the compliment proceeded, he caused to be attached strip of wood wherein his name was cut.
 According to Bertarelli, who, among others, has been at much pains to com pile the history of the card, it is difi- cult to say whether it was first used in Greece or in China However that may be, it seems to be an ascertained fact that the visiting card did not really obtain to any extent in Europe until the time of Louis XIV. It crossed the Pyrenees with Philip of Anjou when he was installed in the palace at Madrid. and Louis himself was the cause of its being introduced into the Netherlands.
 Then it was adopted in Italy, where it was subjected to much elaboration. First, the cards showed a modest bor- der of flowers or leaves; then ap- ture. allegories, etc. Finally came scenes of rural life, alternating with views of monuments and towns. The name was printed on the picture of a wall, a tree or a fountain.
 A view of the Adriatic figured on the card of Count Alexandre Papoh. while the Franco family favored a large stone guarded by two dogs, with the amphitheater of Verona in the background.

Irreverent Senate Paaea

During the brief opening prayer of the chaplain, says Fred c. Kelly, in an article on the senate, in Harper's Weekly, 1t may be noted that no two senators behave exactly alike. Sem ator Stephenson leans over and grasps his desk by the front corners and steers 1t carefully through the inno- vation. Senator Smith of Michigan places his finger tips gently yet firmly on the back of his chair, and Senator Bristow lays his palms fiat on his desk as if about to turn handspring. The little page boys with bowed heads range themselves in a semi-circle against the front desks and look so guileless and innocent that one would scarcely suspect the ruthless manner in which they have nicknamed prac- tically every senator on the floor. MT. Meyers of Montana and MT. Simmons of North Carolina are known as Mutt and Jeff, MT. Pomerene of Ohio, they call the Madonna, because of his sad, earnest face; Senator DuPont is Gloomy Gus, and Reed Shoot is Lord Longbow.

superIor Mexican Women.

Dr. John w.. Butler, head of the Methodist Episcopal mission in Mex ico, says that Mexican women are as a rule. mentally and morally superior to the men. They are anxious for an education. he says, and are coming into the mission schools, and they are very beautiful women. Miss Harriet Ayres, a young American woman, is at the head of the educational and so- cial work. and has four native assist ants. A girl who had gone through the mission schools and the govern ment schools entered Boston univer- s1ty. Her English was very faulty, but in two years she won her A. M. degree. There are 5000 children in the Episcopal mission school, and in all the Protestant schools Doctor But Ter says there are from 10000 to IS, 900 children. The women are the com missary department of the army, and hshiAd every 400 or 500 men march 40 or 5o women with the "duf1e" of supplies and provisions.

IN THEIR OWN CONVEYANCE
People of Today Returning to Travel Ing Methods of the Eighteenth
 Century.

The nineteenth century has seen the passing of the democracy of trav- el. With the twentieth, has come a return to the aristocratic methods of the eighteenth century, when a gen. tleman, if he wished to tour the con- tinent, did so in his own coach. Friends in the country, inviting a lady of quality to visit them, wrote asking where horses should meet her She naturally came in her own car riage. When Miss Edgeworth's her oine Helen" wished to pay her debts. her principal asset was her travelling chaise.
 In the youth of our own grandfath- CTS, the truly great, enshrined in an aristocratic vehicle, refused to de- scend from it even when on shipboard. The opera singer, Grisi, crossed the Channel in her own coach, while her dutiful husband stood on deck at the coach window, holding the harmless, necessary basin. The individual ve- hicle was a hallmark of distinction.
 There has been an interval when people were content to herd together in railway trains, but it has already passed away. We have returned to the private. the special, the personal; in a word, we have gone back to the eighteenth century. Now, as then, 8 gentleman travels in his own convey ance.-From the Atlantic.

Robln seems to Re sIanaIIna.

A robin for month has been in the habit of flying at early dawn to the residence of Woodbury Potter, J. R. Andrews and Oliver Moses of Bath, Me, and pecking at the window glass for minutes at a time. At first the families residing in these homes thought that the robin was hungry and answered his supposed requests for food by placing on the window sille crumbs for him to eat. But this did not satisfy the bird, which kept com ing and awakening the inmates each sunrise and often before the sun had risen. The rat-a-tat of his beak on the glass disturbs the sleepers' morning slumbers and can be heard up and down the street. It sounds like the racket of a woodpecker. Just what the robin wants is a mystery.

ATE PIE WITH TRIMMINGS"
Natural to Imagine That Under the Circumstances DeIicacy Had a
 Peculiar Flavor.

This is a true story of what hap pened not long ago at a G. A. R. banquet in a Kansas town.
 Two epicureans had reached the dessert of the menu. Blackberry pie was the piece de resistance. The pie, rich and juicy, had been brought to the dinner on pasteboard pie pan, but the juice had soaked through the pasteboard and pan and pie had been slipped on china plate.
 Man." said one epicurean, as he severed a generous bite with his fork, s'this is the best looking pie I ever looked at." But as he "F1eteherized, !" blank look dawned on his face. He took another bite. Its a little differ ent from any blackberry pie I ever ate," he said thoughtfully. but it's great, that's what it is."
 The other man ate contentedly. "Of course it tastes that way to you" he said superciliously, but my daughter, you know, is an advanced domestic science student and this pie doesn't have an unusual taste to me at all" They were finishing in satisfaction, the domestic science girls dad was reluc- tantly lifting the last juicy bite from the plate, when a half smothered gig gle at his right diverted his attention. He turned inquiringly.
 You've both eaten the pasteboard plate with your pie," explained the fellow guest, her face very red with suppressed laughter. Sure enough they had
