From A Dis0RDERED MIND
Premonitone che Product Of Lax Men,
tai neutrality-suspicious. a
Great Factor.

The belief in premonitions is based
upon superstition, suggestion, and
fear. Premouition5 are indicative of
lax mental discipline. and serve to
show that the mind is permeated with
fear and dominated by dread.
People are more subject to premo-
nitions on dark and dismal days.
They are also common in the spring
and in the fall. This particular form
of dread is also greatly increased by
suggestion. l we'll recall case Of a
suburban wreck few years ago, in
which the front coach was badly de-
molished, end l noticed that for
months and even years after this ac-
cident, that the passengers studiously
avoided that front coach There was
an immediate decrease in the number
of people who would allow themselves
to ride in that car. The soil and the
seed for suggestion are both needed to
produce premonitions.-Ex

P. A. Base Ball

| The outlook for base ball team at P
A. is better this year than it has been for
several years. There are at least three
men trying for every position. and as
many as eight for some. They are all
working hard and it is not easy to say
who will play regular. Considerable
money has been laid out on the field
many improvements having been made.
including a nsw back stop, skinned dia-
mond, seats, etc, etc. OF course this has
cost lots of money and we hope the towns
people will be liberal and patronize the
games. Every effort is being made to
make base ball pay for itself. which it
has failed to do in past years. If the
townspeople will turn out to the games
the boys are sure it will be success in
every way. The boys have some good
games on their schedule and promise to
give some interesting games.
The following schedule has been ar
ranged by the manager and approved by
Mr. Reynolds, but subject to change:-
