There is no third league now, and the
Independents, beaten, give a clear
field again to the National and Ameri-

The ending of the baseball war,
which cost the deluded hackers of the
Federal league between $4,000, 900 and
5000, 900, was a personal triumph
for President John X. Tener of the
National league. 1t was mainly
through his personality, diplomacy
and observation-disclosures that peace be,
came a fact. 1t was Tener, a former
player himself, who made the original
fight to restore all jumping players to
good standing. Every man who jumped
to the Federal league has Tener to
thank that he isn't barred from base
ball today.
Taking a peck at the situation, the
jumping ballplayer has been extraordi-
narily well treated. He jumped to the
Feds for a sky-high salary and his con-

of the jumpers Jared better than the
players who were loyal to their clubs
and declined to jump. The jumpers
are back in the major leagues again

The major leagues have this to fear.

ball, won't a player be disposed to
recall the luck Of the Federal league

But there may not be a new rival

USES TICKET 20 YEARS OLD
Purchaser Arrested Just Before Train
Started and Has Been in
Prison Since.

Kansas City.-A man whose face
was white and drawn has just ended a
long-delayed journey. He entered a
train at the Union station here and
after a while gave his ticket to the
conductor, who regarded it curiously.
The ticket called for a trip to Gala
tin, Mo-, was issued by the Wabash
& Pacific railway in 1885 and was
good still.
The passenger told his story briefly,
sadly. Twenty-Five years ago he was
travelling from Leavenworth to Gala
tin. He had arrived in Kansas City
and bought q ticket to Gallatin when
he was arrested and taken back to
Leavenworth. Found guilty, he had
served 30 years in the federal prison
in Leavenworth.

frames very similar to those used in
cotton or wooden manufacture, and
a~fterward, by means of spools Of welt

NEW BOWLING GAME OF AGE

Bowling will celebrate it's twenty

orally adopted in 1895. With its com.
ing Of age the game also reaches the
point where II has not a cloud to dis.
turb its serenity. The last possible
source of trouble died with the dodo

A tendency Is noticeable in the big
tournaments to exclude picked entries
from cities of large population, in an
endeavor to force the big towns to
compete on more even terms with
cities the size Of Omaha, Cincinnati,
Louisville and others of like class.

already banned clubs from Greater

HUNTS 19 YEARS FOR UNcLES
Men Named Poe, and Relatives of the
Writer, Thought to Be In
California.

Chico, Cal.-Continuing a search
for her two uncles which has extend
ed over a period of 10 years, Mrs. Mel
lie E. Miller, whose father vas the
first cousin of Edgar Allan Poe, ar
rived in Chico recently.
Her uncles, Edgar Allan Poe and
Clifford Poe, were last heard from in
1896, when she was at her home in
Hutchinson, Kan, at which time they
were in San Francisco, having come
there from their home in Hutchinson.
Mrs. Miller came to California in
1896, and since then has conducted
a search for her uncles, which has
fornia. She first went to Redding,
where she entered the employ of
Judge F. P. Primm as st~enographer.
From Redding she went to Yakima,
Wash, where she remained for nine
years. For five years she was en-
ployed as court reporter there. Leay-
ing Yakima she went to Eureka,
thence to San Francisco, and thence
to Reno, New, where she entered the
employ Of Senator Huskey.
Mrs. Miller has had nc trace of
her uncles since the San Francisco
fire and earthquake in 1906. and fears
they persisted in the disaster.
She believes her uncles, If alive,
would be anxious to hear from her,
and is unable to account for her in
ability to locate them in this event.

GET HAGG|S

British War Office Gives Official Rec
ignition to the National Dish OF
Scots-Famed in Song
and Story.

London.-Scotchmen all oTer the
world should thrill with delight at
the news that the war Office at last
has given its official recognition to
their national dish, the haggis. With
the laudable object of making the
trenches as homelike as possible to
the Scottish troops, Mrs. Porter Brown
of No. 16 Holland road, Kensington, is
raising a fund to provide for them
real Scotch haggis in bulk. If this
does not bring to them the scent Of
the heather and the music of the burn
nothing will.
The haggis is one of the few ma
tional dishes which has retained it's
splendid isolation. Except maybe on
Burns nights or at private gatherings
of exiles from north of the Tweed it
is seldom see in England. To Scotch
whisky and shortbread, especially the
former, the Southron has taken very
kindly, but to him the haggis is still
an alien, probably because it is still
too strong for his more delicate stom-
ach.
For the great chieftain o thea
puddin' race" as Burns calls it, is to
tho Sassenach a fearful and wonder
full wild fowl. 1t is made of a sleeps
heart, liver and lungs. with some Of
the smaller intestines. These are sea-
soned with pepper, salt and onions,
and the whole is chopped up fine, with
suet and oatmeal. Then the mixture
is rammed into the membrane Of a
sleeps stomach and boiled. And this
it is which has helped to make Scot
land what she is today. Says Burns,
addressing the haggis:
But mark the rustic, haggis fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread.
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll max Ii whistle;
An legs an arms, an heads will sned
Like taps o thrissles.
Evidently not bad stuff to fight on.
And now Mrs. Browns fund is to be
recognized by the wal office. Her
rich and rare buildings are to go to
the front with the sanction of the
powers that be; and Jock" and

their well beloved dish all hot from
the pot. And when they have eaten
of it, woe betide the ''boche" that
comes within striking distance of their
"walie %nieves." There will be dirty
work. For, as a Scotchman will tell
you, there is all Scotland in the hag-
gis. There is ~Bannockburn and Flod-
den Field and the Forty-Five. There
is the wind in the heather and the
plunge of the salmon stream.
With a bit of haggis on his dirk the
Scot can e in it's stream the banks
and braes O. Bonnie Doom and the
bonnie, bonnie banks o. Loeb Lomond.
He will feel his foot once more on
his native heath, and there will be
sparks. But, as a brither Scot would
add, their "nieves" would be all the
more "walie" if Mrs. Brown would
only see to it that a proportionate
quantity of mellow "Old Orkney" were
sent to stir into the haggises.
