SUNDAY TELLS ONE
 ON ED WILLIAMSON
Sea Sick and Scared, Ball Player Had a Last Minute
 Change of Heart.

New York, May Billy SunGav tells this story about El Williamson, one of the stars Cf the old Chicago team:
 Ed was along with the Chicago club when the two teams, piloted by Al Spaldilg, made the tour around the world. The t52n crossed from England to France in steamer dur ing enc of the morst storms tAat ever visited the English channel. Things go so bad that even the captain ot the ship surrend red to despair. Ed grabbed two life preservers, strapped them around him and then offered up this prayer:
 "'Oh, Lord. will lead differ ent life if you will spare this ship and our lives
 "The ship arrived safely in port and Ed went back to Chicago and started saloon"
 A mathematical fiend has conclud- ed that Willie Hoppe, the billiard champion, has walked over 3000 miles around billiard table. The mathematician discovered that Hoppe usually walks two miles around a table when playing a game of 800 points. Hoppa plays 6O.00c points year. so that means ira walks 300 miles yearly. He has been champion something like nine years and did quite bit of around ;.a }. table walking before he became title hclder. So his walking total goes over 5000 miles.
 Clinton Rogge. the new and i,rom- ising twirlcr with the Pitts0urg Feds lays claim ot the distinction of being the only pitcher who struck out four men in one inning and lived rc see every one of the four score a rul. It happened in college game in Michigan. Rogge is a big chap with 6 world of sps ed. The varsity catcher was a 11o pound mite ond couldn't 1 held Rogge who struck out three men in a TOW, and every one went to | first when the catcher fail2.l to clutch the third strike. With the | bases loaded, Rogge struck oui the 1 fourth batter and the man on third came home with the first tally, wh the fam d -batter raced to first in safety
 An error and a hit followed, and the three other strikeout victims who had gained the bases through the in- ability of the catcher 10 hold Rogge, scootcd homa with the runs that won l the game.
 Strategy often succeeds where brawn fails prize fighter manager told us recently. Theal he went on to explain;
 "A number of years ago two brothers met in the final bout for the amateur championship of the club tc which they belonged. The younger brother knew that he wasn't match for the oldGr, but he was game, and went into the ring with him.
 '''Tha younger Cne had terrific punch that was good for a knockout if it landed, but the older brothers guard was so good that the younger enc, who was on the defensive most of the time, couldn't bore through.
 "rhen tho younger chap bathousht himself of strategy. The brothers come out of their corners, in the sixth round, and just as the, squared eff, the younger looked down at> the older boys knee, his face took on a look Of astonishmcnt and he yellcd

BUSINESS IMPROVING.

Paris, April 16. 4:40 a. m.-In a report attached to a decree furthar extending propagation of the payment of commercial paper dating before August 1. Minister of Finance Ribot states that business activity has in- creased so steadily since october that many firms have not availed them. selves of this privilege. and IT. 900, 900 francs (sS,4oO,O0o) have been paid into the Bank of France in settlement of obligations. N. Ribot believed. nevertheless, that in view of the fact that several French departments stiil are occupied by the Germans the time has not arrived for a return to ordinary financial conditions.

Tt was very painful to see numer- ous American families break up their homes, abandon their business and leave our country by the advice of your government. Not being able to evade the exodus, my government took special care of the Americans. Special trains were placed at their disposition and armed forces accom- panied the trains to the seaports. Thousands of Am merican men, women and children can verify the above.
 "Unfortunately, and for our shame, numerous crimes have been commit ted against foreigners on Mexican soil during the last four years and a half. Englishmen were cowardly as- sassinated, more than three hundred Chinamen were brutally slaughtered in Torreon; German women were brutally violated in Covadonga, Spaniards were butchered i1 Atencingo and other places; for eign and native ministers of the church were shamelessly mistreate1; but these crimes were committed either before or after my time, or by rebels in territory that I did not con- trol. These are the results of the an archial propaganda of MT Madero and his followers.

HAVE YOU HAD THE GRIP?

The debility and depression following an attack of the grip is not a fancied disorder. "Post-grippal neurasthenia' is the medical name for this condition and it's seriousness is recognized by all medical writers.
 One authority oays: Broadly speak ing, every victim of the grip will suffer from post-grippal neurasthenia also. Lowering of nervous tone, w:sh increased irritability is the most striking effect of the disease, with languor of mind and body, disturbed sleep and vague pains in the head and elsewhere"
 Every sufferer will recognize the symp- toms. What is the remedy?
 After the fever has passed and the inc fuenza has subsided the diet should be more liberal but be limited to articles easily digested; rest and sufficient sleep are essential and Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the only medicine required in most cases. This treatment should be con- tinued until the patient is completely restored to normal health and spirits. 1t IS specific treatment and rarely if ever fails.
 Send today for the booklet "Building Up the Blood. " It is free ifyou mention this paper. Address the Dr. Williams Medicine O., Schenectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

en my great admiration and respect for the American people. I must say, periodicals and public opinion in the United States were for the last few years diverted from the right path, on the Mexican question. I have always tried to be fair in my judgment. The heads of your administration were not fair to Mexico. but I believe they were misled by false statements. Be- sides, there is quite difference be- tween theory and facts. If your ad- ministrators had only been in Mexico for thirty days, they would have changed their theoretical erroneous ideas"

AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
 NOT FAIR TO MEXICO
Huerta Declares in Statement Not
 to Blame for MaderO's Death.

New York, April 16.-Vehemently asserting that he had nothing to do with the death of Francisco Madero, General Victoriano Huerta, former provisional president of Mexico, issued a lengthy signed statement last night setting forth what he termed his side of the Mexican question. Gen cral Huerta declared that he knew who was responsible for Madero's death, but that he was keeping it as professional secret
 General Huerta's statement re- viewed the history of the Madero revolution and his accession to the provisional presidency, and concluded with the assertion that my country cannot be conquered Sixteen mill lions of men, women ana children would have to be killed before Mexi- co would submit to an invader, he asserted.
 Not Fair to Mexico.
 The heads of the Washington ad- lninistration, he declared, had not ~OS'' by false statements and if they had been in Mexico for thirty days, they would have changed the1r theoreti- cal erroneous ideas" Had it not been for the embargo on the eXporta- tion of arms from this country, Gen eral Huerta indicated that his army would have prevailed over Inose op- posed to it.
 The former provisional president reiterated the assertion which he made when he left Mexico last year. that he had resigned from his po- sition only because he hoped to bring peace to his country.
 He pointed out that in the eight months since that date the situation in Mexico had become too sad for mo to analyze deeply'
