Oraves Lost Game.

The score was 8 to 2 against the
Braves.
This was In a game played in Bos-

the ninth inning. Two men were out
and the Braves had man on first and
second.
FLAP" Myers. the lanky Boston first
sacker, walked to the plate. A long
hit would either tie the score or win
the game. Hap" let the first one
pass-and hunted the second. He was
thrown out by ut least ten feet, and
the game was over. The Braves had
lost.
Mysrs In Terror.
"Hap," In terror over a possible re-
buke from Manager George Stallings,
sneaked into the clubhouse. Stallings
was there, enshrOuded in deepest
gloom. Baseball never knew harder
loser than Stallings. But Stallings
never said q word to Myers then. and
Myers ducked out Of the clubhouse
and went home thinking Stalllngs had
overlooked the bunt.out.
But Stallings hadn't.
The next morning found Stallings
at Myers home. Myers had just got
ten up.
"'Hnp." said Stallings, II want to
know why you hunted with two out
and two on bascs."
"Well, you see. boss" explained
"Hap," II thought I'd dOuble.crOss the

"Double.cross 'em2" asked Stalllngs,
puzzled.
Looking for q Hlt.
Eyes. You see they were looking
for me to hit It out, and thought I'd
catch 'em asleep with bunt."
"Oh, that's 1t, ehY' said Stallings.
"Thought you'd double.cross 'em, hey!
Well, you didn't dOuble-crOss them,
but you did dOuble.crOss me. I've
spent the whole night trying to figure
out why you hunted. That's the req.
son, eh-wanted to double.cross the

"Yes; that's It,"

.FLOTAT|OA PROCESS
To Be DEVELOPED

GLOBE, Ariz., Sept. 21.-Possibe
means of developing the fiotation pro-
cess to the greater benefit of the cour-
try interests were taken up in the
sessions of the American Institute Of
Mining Engineers, meeting here to-
day.
Conclusions reached by the dele
gates, who include representatives #
many of the leading metal producing
companies of the country, were to the
effect that the flotation process is now
in its infancy and that with the future
discovery of new iotative agents amt
generous expenditures brilliant ru-
ture record could be obtained for this
process.
Today's discussions included the
first public presentation of report of
experiments on several miscellaneous
wood oils which seem adaptable to
use in the flotation process. A state

oils was presented by r. G. Palmer

NEW GATE IS QUITE
A CONVENIENCE NOW

NJ. C. Porter, owner of the patent
automatic gate, has been in Americas
for several weeks demonstrating this
new gate to the public generally.
Every one who has seen this gate in
operation will admit that it is quite a
convenience, compared with the old
fashioned gate which opens on hinges.
One of the several advantages of this
gate is that when you wish to pass
through the gateway you do not have
to get off your vehicle or load to open
same, simply pulling lever on one
side of the gate, as you go through,
which opens same, and pulling another
on the other side as you are leaving,
which closes same.

whom he loves above everything on
earth, dies leaving an infant daughter
Rameau is inconsolable. He keeps tho
room where his wife died inviolate, Wis
lifting it on every anniversary of her
death.
Many years later, on one of these
visits he discovers among her letters
evidence proving that his wife had been
unfaithful, that Pamela, whom he had
reared from childhood to budding wo-
manhood, is not his child. The shock
almost unbalances his mind He drives
the girl from his home and refuses to
&C to her, even when she is thought to
be dying.
His best friend, DR.. Talavanne, al
most drags him to her bedside. AS he
! enters the room the girl stretches out
her arms to him. Rameau is conquer

PROHIBITION ENEMIES ;
WORKING HARD NOW

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 21-Already
the opponents of prohibition are be-
ginning to "construe" the result of the
recent gubernatorial primary as a ere
pudiation" of the prohibition laws en-
acted by the Georgia legislature at the
famous extra session in the fall of
1915.
Notwithstanding the fact that sup
porters of Hugh NJ. Dorsey valiantly
upheld him as simon-pure prohibit
zionist in the gubernatorial campaign,
the anti-prohibitionists are deriving
great comfort from the peculiar
phraseology of Dorsey's prohibition
plank" and are openly declaring that
his nomination was proof that the pee
lie do not approve the laws which
Went into effect on May list.
They are laying special stress on the
fact that the laws were not submitted
to the people for approval or disap
prevail, as if the constitution of Geor-
gia required acts of the legislature to
be approved by popular vote before
becoming effective.
They are dwelling upon the fact that
Governor Harris made possible the en-
actment of the laws by including prohi
bition in his call, that the governor
made prohibition the principal plank in
his platform, that the governor was de-
feated; therefore, the governors de-
feat was slap" at prohibition.
All of which simply means that a
grand assault will be launched upon
the prohibition laws in the 1917 session
