FAMOUS BALL D0DGER
ASTONISHES THE SHERIFF

Atlanta, Ca, April 12-If you
want to know how a baseball feels
when it Is swatted on the nose by
Ty Cobb or Joe jackson, just ask
the sheriff Of Greenville, 8. c. He
knows.
Joe Jackson, the famous Cleve-
land batter, who keeps Ty jumping
to hold his honors in the American
league, was in Atlanta when the
Palmetto state officer arrived with
a warrant sworn out by Jackson q
wife to bring him back on a personal
charge. "All right" said Jackson,
and everything went all we'll en-
ough until the sheriff made the mis-
take of trying o ptut a pair of hand
cuffs on the big baseball star. In
stead of holding out both hands al
once, as the. prisoner does in the
movies, Jackson first handed out his
left alone. 1t caught the sheriff on
the point Of the jaw and caused him
to stagger back. Then jackson Of.
fered his right, and the sheriff
tumbled, after which jackson broke
away, and fed to the railroad sta
ton where he boarded the trair
himself and went to Greenville.

How to Make Vinegar.

The housewife, either on the
farm or in the city, who makes
her own vinegar may be assured
of both its purity and strength
if she follows certain specific di-
rections, according to Miss Car
RE Pancoast of the Missouri
College Of Agriculture.
Good vinegar can be prepared
from cider. Fill a barrel or cask
half or two-thirds full. A con-
siderable surface of the liquid
must be exposed to the air. For
this purpose, bore two-inch holes
in opposite sides of the barrel
one near the surface of the Ii
quid and one near the top of the
barrel. Cover the holes with
wire netting to prevent the en-.
trance of flies.
One of three methods may be-
pursued in the formation of vine.
gar from the cider-(1) ALLOW
the cider to stand until souring
occurs; ~ add a little vinegar
of good quality, or (3) hasten
the process by the addition of the
mother of vinegar" a portion
of the film which has developed
on the surface of vinegar pre-.
viously prepared.
Part of the vinegar may be
drawn off and the loss made
good with fresh cider, using
care not to break the film. The
added cider will rapidly be con.
verified into vinegar, and the
process may be repeated in three
or four weeks.
When drawn off, the vinegar
should be strained, and placed il
tightly stoppered vessels
otherwise it will lose it;

Bulgaria Takes the Leap.

press dlSpaUcneS yesterday, UNI
doubtedly signalizes the begin
ming of another Balkan war-a
sort of war within a war;" in
that the Balkan nations will con-
fine themselves to the restricted
arena Of their own territories,
though the conflict will be ag-
gravated by the assistance of
the great powers already aligned
against each other.
That some very alluring prom
ises have been made to induce
Bulgaria to enter into an al
lance with both Germany and
Turkey goes without saying,
which fact makes all the more
patent the international chaos
which reigns in Europe today.
The latest developments are an
other triumph for German di-
plomacy and lend greater per-
tinency to the vigorous criti-
cisms of English diplomatic
shortcomings which are being
launched against Sir Edward
Grey in his own country. The
war originally started, if it had
any coherent reason for starting
at all, as a resistance by Ger
many against the "Slav peril"
All the "books" of various
colors which have been issued
agree that Germany had good
reason to fear Slav aggression.
Knowing that Serbia was only
Russia in disguise and that Rus
sia's age-long dream was to
reach a southern outlet, ito
drink warm water" in the pic
turesque phrase Of the histor-
ians, Germany defended her ac-
ton by declaring that her very
existence depended upon pre-
venting the junction of Russia
and the other Slavic powers of
the Balkans.
Yet today Bulgaria, the most
powerful of all the Balkan races,
smarting under grievances re
sulting from the second Balkan
war, is the ally of that same Ger.
many which is supposedly re.
sisting the "Sav peril" This
same Bulgaria is the ally Of its
mmemorial enemy, Turkey
which has inflicted upon il
wrongs compared with which the
Injustice of the treaty closing
the second Balkan war is insig-
nifcant. Germany has there
fore palpably out-generaled the
diplomats of the Allies; and the
decisive defeat of Russia, the
greatest of the Saw powers, has
apparently been the final argu-
nent, inducing Bulgaria to side
with the Teutos and influencing
most of the other Balkan ma.
tions either to maintain a dis.

many.
1t is small wonder that pessi
mism is prevalent in Great
Britain and that the opinion
should be so general that some
monumental blunders have beer
committed by the Allied diplo
mats, of which German astute
ness has not CALLED to take inn
mediate advantage. Evidently
it is more than a coincidence thar

are again engaged in their fav-
Orite occupation of slaughtering
Armenians, men, women and
children, are a survival from the
days when self respecting men
lived only, or at least principally,
by the sword. Their wild tribes
are scattered throughout Asia
Minor, acting to thwart the
most modest efforts Of the land
toward modern comfort, secur-
ity and organization. Although
once fabulously rich, the coun-
try has not been able to bring
forth a suficiency through all
the years that the Kurds have
practiced their untamed house.
keeping here, a housekeeping
that has consisted in abandoning
the summer tent for the winter
cottage, after preliminaries of
killing the owner and his family,
and he replenishing of goods
stores at the point of a rifle, the
transaction usually followed by
the burning of the looted shop.
The Kurd is a picturesque citi-
zen, and, whatever his numbers
may be-census matters in Tur-
key are indefnite-he is much
more in evidence than the Ar
menians and other peoples a.
mopg whom he lives. The Kurd
is the travellers first impression
in Asia Minor, and in most cases
he remains the predominant one.
The Kurds wear clothes of vivid
colors they also wear rags, that
is, the poorer ones, of the most
'eckless nondescription. The
Kurds ride the best horses they
are always armed; they bully
the Armenians, the travellers
and the overload Turks them
selves.
The Turks have been unable to
get a complete mastery over
their subject Kurds, and have
employed an administrative pol
cy toward them of letting them
alone. Thus, the Kurd massa-
res Armenians, robs Armenians
and travellers, and considers both
of these occupations his Just
right. In a useful state, the
Kurd lives in the hills and herds
sheep. He is a pastoral tent
dweller in the summer. In the
winter he moves to the Mesopo.
tamian plains and either lives in
his tent or turns the owner out
of a selected house. His tent is
of black, home-spun goats hair
and its furniture is mats, quilts
and cooking pots. His children
go naked and his women ragged
His board is set with sour milk
and when by chance he builds q
winter home, it consists of q
hole in the ground with a flat
roof of waffle and clay-ail
tight, smoke tight, light tight
There are small smoke vents in
the roof, but the whole effect is
that of a prairie dogs dwelling
Within, it is as light and airy as
a low-level coal mine.
To be of "Ashirat" blood, in
Kurdish estimation, is to be real
ly worth while. The Kurds have
a conscious superiority which
gives them a certain bearing Of
noblesse and dignity. A Kur.
dish chief is an impressive, of.
ten an affable, individual. These
people are not inclined to settle
down, and they do not seem tt
want others to settle. In som,
districts, however, they have
taken lands wholesale from tn,
Armenians, massacreing tn,

landholders. Occasionally
Kurds attempt civilization.
