The New York Giants.

? i AAO ANS" AOAA UAeSUVSs
The Giants have an excellent
chance to win the National league
pennant this season. The best the
Yankees are hoping for is first di-
vision berth this year. That, in sub
stance, is the way New York is look
ing at the coming pennant fight
And there is~a lot more interest in
both teams this year than there was
last. The monotonous succession Of
pennants the Giants won rather kill
ed interest in them from the sports
mans viewpoint. Losing last years
flag has stimulated the satiated ap-
petites. Interest in. the Yanks was
dead last year, principally because
of the ownership and the way the
club was run. This year the owners
Bill Donovan. 1t will be surprising
if 1915 isn't the banner year in New
York despite the croy of hard times
and lean year." ..
With the exception of his pitching
staff, McGraw has as good team to
start the pennant fight as any mana
ger in the circuit-and a whole lot
better than most of them. The re-
turn of Tillie Shafer would give him
a mighty sweet infield. AS it is, he
has a nicely balanced one. Merkle
on first will probably perform in his
usual style. Should Shafer really re-
turn he and Larry Doyle would put
up pretty scrap for second. Fletcher
on short seems to have position
clinched an dthere is practically no
doubt that Hans Lobert will be seen
pickin' them ffaround third.
Lobert at third has solved a great
problem for McGraw. Many is the
game that rolled away through Ed
die Grant and Milton Stock last year
while McGraw sat on the bench ours
ing the day he ever let Charley Her.
zog get away to Cincinnati. Yes,
McGraw has an infield that will conf
pare favorably with any in Tener's
circuit.
In the outfield there are four reg
ulars- Burns, Murray and
Robertson. All four are dependable
men-good fielders and steady with
the bludgeon. Jim Thorpe, the big
Indian, expects to make a hard fight
this year for a regular berth.
McGraw freely admits his pitching
staff is giving him worry. Mathew
son, Tesreau and Fromme are his on
ly veterans, as Rube Marquard's case
is unsettled. He has two youngsters
who have sat on the bench for two
seasons now and they should be about
ready for the firing line. They are
Schauer and Schupp. -.
McGraw probably is depending
more this year on, his fifty-odd re-
cruits he paid expenses for to Marlin
than ever before. He needs a young
catcher and could use a couple If
promising young hurlers. Meyers
and Mclean will probably bear the
brunt of the receiving again this
season.

A. He will also place on the market

smokers declare are the best they
ever knew for the money.
In Labor Alone.
Did you ever stop to consider what
it would mean to Bemidji if every
man who smokes would buy one Don
Almo cigar day? To give you an
idea, let it be stated that during
1914 Mr.. Burgess cigar factory paid
out in labor alone over $4,000,
which meant the supporting of from
three to five families in addition to
his own. Keep in mind also that
these families spent every cent in
Bemidji, which meant the boosting
of practically every line of industry.

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless. ..s,.a #..-

Doctors Insist On Operation
Not Necessary

want to write and tell you what
your Swamp-ROot1: has done for me.
During the years of 1906 and 1907
1 was troubled with what the phys
|icians pronounced "GraVel Of the Kid
ney." 1 was under the care of one
physician for six months and two
months with another without secur-
ing relief or a cure. The physicians
insisted on an operation claiming
that would be the only thing that
would help me. My wife being bit
terly opposed to an operation I did
not consent, but continued under
their treatment for some time. When
I was most discouraged believing
that my end was near, l heard of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root and at once be-
gan taking your medicine and noticed
almost Immediately that the medic
inc was having it's effect. After
taking seven bottles of your Swamp
Root I was entirely cured and have
not had sick spell for over a year.
When person has been flat on
lis back for six months, suffering un-
teld agony and spent considerable
money with physicians without any
nehefit and then to be cured at an
expense of not over $500, you can
we'll understand how grateful I feel
toward you and your preparation. In
appreciation for what your remedy
has done for me, am willing that
you use this letter as a testimonial.

American Versus English Writers

- 4 > 2 g
In recent issue Of the English
Review a correspondent sought to
4 eool the literary pride of the United
States by pointing out that it had
produced very little really priceless
stuff. This unfriendly criticism
naturally stirred I'D considerable
correspondence in American period
icals, and among others Mr.. Thomas
Stewart McNfccOl undertook to re-
flute the English Review, and to
show that in American literature
some dozen authors might be chosen
who need fear no comparison with
an equal nslmbersof English writers.
Since Washington Irving's day, said

produced twelve writers whose

that the names are all famous. hut.
of course, being famous does not
settle thelnatter, for, as Mr.. Louis
How points out in Reedy!s Mirror.
Nick Carter" has penetrated furth-t
er than any OF them.
Mr.. How says that the United
States is so weak in criticism that
the. ueIeuueTSE OIL y g.
ways consider foreign notice as
the criterion OF it. He sees no. rea
son why a. review OF American lit
erature should start rbitrarily, after
II Washing ton Irving. and believes
that the thirty years he worked
should be included. He thinks
beginning should be made about
1850. for to Leave the date later
would exclude couple Of writer's
who certainly in their day enjoyed
as much foreign notice as any OF
their successors. For instance. there
was Franklin. who was said by
Mathew Arnold 10 be the very IN
carnation or sanity and good
sense, and there was Thomas JEFF
ferson, Who was an able political
writer. Before their time. however,,
there had been nothing producea
that might be called American lit
Eerature with the exception Of the
now forgntten works OF Cotton
AIather and Freneau. Then turning

Niccol, this critic takes UP Poe and

is Of opinion that at least Aristotle
and Byron produced quite as great
results. Whitman, who is referred
10 as the poet of democracy is
not quite justified in wearing this
crown. though it is one he sought
for. because he is not read by the
general public. Few except very
bookish people have any opinion
y whatever about Whitman About
Emerson. however. there is not so
much doubt. He was u great writ
er, and his claim to, Immortality is
universally admitteda Longfellow is
called the household poet of the
English tongue, unrivaled translator
OF Dante, and the only successful
4 user OF Lexameter verse III English
literature. but Mr. How says that
the first title. is one that lie ought
not to assume. Similarly it is an
eSaggeration to claim that Haw-
\ thorne is the greatest of psychology

iDostUierski are his masters in. this
respect.
