TAKE ONE FROM ODANAH.
Last Sundays Game Goes to Hurley
by the Score of Is to l. A
0ne-Sided Affair.

The game at the local park last
Sunday was pretty much sided
Hurley had everything their own
way throughout the contest and at
no stage of the game did Odanah
have look-in. Odanah used three
pitchers and all of them were un-
able to stem the batting streak of
the local stickers. Quarders, the
Ashland phenom, was scheduled TO
pitch for Odanah, but for some
reason failed to appear. J. Grant
started on the firing line for the
visitors and in the three innings
that he worked was touched up
for IL hits. He was followed by
H. Grant who only lasted one
third of an inning, during which
two clouts were gathered off his
delivery. Mcbride then went to
the rescue and stayed the balance
or the game, which was cut short
one inning i'll order to allow the
visitors to make the train. In the
three and two-thirds innings that
Mcbride pitched Hurley gathered
three safe ones, making total of
II hits for the eight innings. This
heavy batting was started in the
third frame. The entire team bat
ted around in this inning and eight
runs were registered. Hurleys
n-getting started before this,
however, two having been annexed
in the previous act. Two more
were added in the fourth and an
other in the seventh. Odanah S
lone score came in the third inning.
Faul was especially handy with the
bludgeon for Hurley, connecting
safely four times in that many
times up. Whitman and P. Secor
were on par in the hitting honors,
each getting three. Costello, the
me-back boy, and who usually
raps hard and regularly, failed to
get in on the batting, the one mem
Der of the team who did not get
one or two safe drives. Sundell
heaved EN- over for Hurley in
good style, being allowed to retire
in the fifth in favor of Carroll,
new pitcher whom it was desired
to try out. Carroll worked only
two innings, and while that is a
short time to give a man a try-out
he looked good enough 10 the man
agement to be retained and will
probably work for Hurley in flu

director Of the Theatre Italien In Par.

hailed the nearest cab. Eventually q
certain cabman noticed II and was at
the masters door each morning. As
soon as ROssini entered the cab the
driver would look at his watch and
then drive on at a good pace. This
proceeding was repeated every day.
Rossini often wondered whether the
driver looked at his watch TO see how
much time he had to get to the theater.

Fifteenth centuru Arti,t.

Artists IN Italy in the fifteenth cen
tury were little better OF than small
shopkeepers This is shown by the
dowries they usually gave their daugh-
tiers. which varied from 5000 to S.
0SO. and it Is related as an extraordi-
nary instance that Andrea Mantegna
gave his daughter $1,000 at the time
or her marriage, which was about the
close Of the fifteenth century. Michel
angelo. Raphael and Titan were the
only painters Of the fifteenth century
who succeeded In attaining a position
Of ease. Michelangelo at his death left
about $4,000, besides some real estate.
To bis nephew. Leonardo. Raphael's
property was estimated to be worth
$135.OOO, while Durer was worth at the
time Of his death only S31.6JO. In
those days. however. pensions were
frequently given to artists by sover-
eigns and cities.

instances OF humor In German courts:
In Berlin an ironworker was sent
to prison because he had laughed at a

Of this they point to the fact that Jo-

ers believe that Joseph must have
passed away before the crucihxiOn;
otherwise be would have been at the
cross with Mary. Under the circum-
stances nothing definite can be stated
on the matter. Christian tradition as.

Economy and SAVING.

A sort of paradox is the fact that
thousands OF people who make no ef-
fort to save a dollar when times are
highly prosperous will develop and
practice economy when work and OPP
portunity are less plentiful The best
way, OF course, is to Try and save at
least little all the time. putting by a
larger amount when earnings are at
their height. AS a nation We are not
taught that economy, which makes
France the banker of the world and
whose Accommodations come not from
vast exports of natural resources. but
from the combined small savings, con-
sistently continued year after year, by
the French people as a whole.
The French save partly because Il
has become hereditary and chiefly be-
cause the children are brought up that
way and are taught the dignity of ac-
emulation. We, on the contrary. In
a spirit Of false pride. are inclined TO
scorn the necessity of saving. as
though IT were something of which to
be ashamed. II our present expe-
riences shall teach Us thrift 1t will
be a strengthening of a great national
