 All are pleased that Mrs. Hans M. Hansen is making so satisfactory a recovery from her shocking and alarming automobile accident of few weeks since. The young mother finds abundant cause for thankfulness that her life was spared and that her children were not with her in the machine.
 The foliage this autumn is an un. usual complication of we'll ripened age. nnThe woodland, although in most localities lacking the vivid coloring that artist nature has withheld this year, has innumerable softly blended shades that are most fascinating. This was particularly noticeable Saturday afternoon in an automobile ride with Rev. and Mrs. Darrow and Mrs. Green over Buffcap, high and picturesque section of Holland, to call at Nathan O. Wards.
 There were 61 at Bible school. Pas tor Darrow's exposition of the 1st verse of the 18th chapter of Hebrews was thoughtful, helpful and stimu- lating suggesting Dr. John Hayes Holmes challenge of the hour, "To be loyal to the highest or content with the easiest, to be the children of faith or the vassals of fear, to stand for truth or make friends with error, to this may we give answer as those who seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.

HOW THEY WILL LINEUP
TODAY.

Headed by John ]. McGraw, man
ager of the Gothamites, the New York
Giants, featuring Christy Mathewson
ct ais. will arrive in town early to-
day for a game this afternoon with
the Richmond 1nternationals.
1t will be the first time McGrsw
has brought his regulars to this city
in several years and an audience That
will tax the entire capacity OF Broad
Street Park liz anticipated.
Mathewson, the "old master" will
be on hand and in all probability he
will be seen in action at least por-
ton of the game.
Some say that Matty Is going back.
but In our opinion the star Giant
hurler will still be one OF McGraws
mainstays in the box after the hand
of old Father Time has grasped many
good baseball players of his age
Christy's dome IL filed with base
ball sense, and in a game he uses
his head to better advantage than
his Blenders. Muggsy also has Tes-
reau. Fromme and other good pitch
ers with him and one or more of the
others will also be seen in action.
Famous Players Here.
In the outfeld for the Giants will
be Snodgrass, Murray and Thorpe. the
famous Indian athlete. while the in
field will be comprised of Fred Merkel,
first base; Larry Doyle. second; Hans
Lohert, third. and Fletcher in the
shortfield This infield combination
works like "A machine and some people
believe that they play together better
than George Staltines' big four"
Anyhow. the fans will he given an OPP
portunity to Judge for themselves this
afternoon.
The lineup of the local club will
be the came one that went against
Miracle Man" StallinGs' outfit Thurs
day afternoon. with the exception of
the pitcher Russell will prohab bly,
start against the Giants. while Nor
risette will finish the game.
While the locals may not defeat
the Giants, they are expected to put
up n good exhibition against them.
and In all probability IT, VIII he a
close score.
