When Turtles Were Bio.

OF the turtles it may be said that
they represent the most ancient type Of
all vertebrates, resembling closely as
they do the reptiles of their kind which
existed so far back as the mesozoic
era. There were sea tortoises during
that epoch which measured twenty
feet in spread of fippers, while some
tertiary tortoises were not less big In
body, measuring twelve feet from head

The Fear of Death.

'"The pomp of DEATH said the wise
Bacon, "frightens us more than death
itself" The king of terrors has no ter
rors that we have not lent him. A
Roman stole philosopher was discours-
ing one day On life and death.
'"They are just the same" he said.
'There is no difference between them"
"Why don't you die, then, if there is
no difference? one of the disciples
asked.
Because there is no difference" re-
turned the philosopher.-Boston Globe.

Just Rebuke.

About a thousand years ago Sadi
wrote:
"a man had sore eyes He went to a
horse doctor, who applied to his eyes
what he used for his horses. The man
became blind. He took the case before
the judge, who said: No damages. If
this fellow were not an ass he would
not have gone to farrier.'"

soon as it expires another phoenix

CHEERFULNESS.
Cheerfulness is great help
along all the walks Of life. Cheer
fulness is so very salutary that it
might well be called the nectar Of
health. A cheerful frame of mind
greatly assists recovery from illness.
So do cheerful doctors, cheerful
nurses and cheerful surroundings.

LONG ON JOBS;
SHORT ON TAXES

The Baltimore News of a recent
date says: 1T has been pointed out by
an amateur statistician that the con-
gressional representation of the state
being based solely on population, gives
the nine counties which comprise the
Eastern Shore just one congressman
out of six. The state at the last fed.
eral census had population of 1885,.
346, and that of the nine counties OF
the Eastern Shore was 200,167. Thus
it is to be seen how closely the East
ern Shore comes to having one-sixth
of the population of the state, and on
that basis would be entitled to one
sixth of the Offices and no more.
"Then we take the assessment for
state taxation, For the year 1918, as
shown by the report of the state comp
trolier, the total assessment in the
state was 1907, 1881, 745. Of this there
was assessed to the nine counties of
the Eastern Shore total of $97, $780,
965, or less than one-tenth of the total
for the entire state. On this basis the
Eastern Shore would be entitled to
less than one-tenth of the offices.
"Now, just exactly what proportion
of the Office the Eastern Shore gets is
difficult to determine, but that it gets
far more than one-tenth, far more
than one-sixth, and far more than one
third is easy to estimate. The state
has no complete payroll, not even a
printed list of people holding public
positions, with their salaries and it is
only possible to compile an incim-
plete list by picking up information
here and there. But here is list, in
complete, indeed, of leading state and

turing hempen binder Irvine are in dan
ger of destruction. Not only American

CHANGES IN BASEBALL
He Would Close Several Minor Leagues
and Abolish Training
Trips.

Chicago. March 24--Drastic changes
in organized baseball have been suggest
Cd by Ban johnson, president OF tae
American league, as means to reiieSe
the unsettled conditions in the natlonai
snort. Mr.. johnson advocates the clos

leagues and the abolishing Of the spring
training trips for the big leaguers.
Appeals to the national commission
from ball players for back salaries and
the lack of interest in small towns make
the first suggestion imperative
The majority of the minor league
clubs failed TO meet expenses last year,
and the players from these leagues have
flooded the commission with appeals Tor
money. The prospects for the coming
season are none too bright. Mr., johnson
said;
"There is no question that it would De
good thing for the game were the
Gates of five or six minor league CLUBS
closed during the summer season IN
fact. | cannot see how the smaller club
owners can afford to keep their parks
open. -
"The national commission has been
bombarded of late with requests for back
salaries. These have all come from MI
