BOYLE APPEALS DECISION.
Refuses to Play Double Header at Mus.
eatine and Carries Case to Directors.

Manager Ned Egan, Of Muscatine,
had caused to be advertised double
header between Muscatine and Mar
shalltown today, but Manager Boyle
fatty refused to participate in the dou-
bic bill, which was arranged to pro-
vide for the game thrown out by Pres
ident Justice, because Of the Flanagan
Blank mill staged during the last trip
of Boyle's lads to Muscatine.
Egan took the matter up with JUS
tice ana was notified that Boyle could
rot be compelled to play off the game,
as he had appealed to the executive
board of the association from the pres
!aH2ts decision. Justice stated .hss
while his decision favored the Muskies
he could not compel Boyle 10 play the
game over pending decision from the
league directors.
AS President Justice has decided
that II is not necessary TO hold mid
summer meeting of the association, the
appeal probably will be considered by
correspondence or may be laid over I'M
til the fall meeting. in which event the
contest can not be played over.

ON KITCHEN ECONOMY

In the past few weeks we have seen
so much news of the activities of wom-
ems organizations, and mems too, for
that matter, in trying out novel
schemes for the reduction of the high
cost of living that we have grown cal
lous to suggestions. It's going to take
a pretty good idea to get over coming
from the above named sources. The
twaddle has grown rather disgusting.
Mere talk on the part of house wives
is not going to make any material re.
duction in the expenses of maintaining
the kitchen and dining room. Theoret.
ical economy is not going to solve any
problem.
We wonder if one can find today one
of those housewives so commonly seen a
decade or two ago, who made her daily
trips to the marketing center of the
town, armed with her basket and her
cash. If you find her, we will wager
that at the end of the month she is rot
worrying about how the grocer's bill
or the butchers bill is going to be
met.
In by gone days we never heard much
about the public market. Nearly every
town, however. had a public market.
II no such distinct institution existed,
the stores themselves formed public
markets after manner. Housekeep-
ers patroni2ed them as such. Today
we hear all kinds of noises, read all
kinds of propaganda about the benefits
that would accrue from public market
places. But there is no longer a de-
mand on the part of the buying public
for such marts. Today.the house wife
uses the telephone and orders what she
will. Expensive delivery services are
maintained by the merchants who cater
to the public wants. Credits are large
and accounts soon swell to huge pro.
portions. All of this is very expens-
ive-and thus the high cost of living.
1t is very true that speculations in
food products, the abnormal demand
from the European countries at war
and other attendant conditions have
swollen the cost of living today TO a
figure that produces a swRnied condi.
tion of the purse for the man of mod.
crate sassry. Yet there is hope, if we

Couraoe and Courtesy.

1t IL recorded of General Sheridan
that he was once asked who, in his
opinion, was the most reliable of the
corps commanders, and he unhesitat-
tngly answered, General Hancock. He
said, IF wanted a man to stay
where l put him, il located him at
night and wanted to find him right
there in the morning, I'd select Han
cock" And then further Sheridan
said:
For genuine politeness and gentle
regard for women Hancock was In
comparable. If Mrs. Hancock came
into his room twenty times in half
an hour he would always stand up"
There is a compliment indeed. The
bravest commander was the most
courteous to women. and, what was
best of all, be included his own wife
among the objects of bis courtesy.
That is something many men forget
they are courteous to all women ex.
cept to their own wives.-Ohio State

LAFAYETTE DOLLARS.
Why They Were Issued and What
They Are Now Worth.

iHey ARC NO" "oTf'
In 1899 congress ordered $4,000
Lafayette dollars to be coined in aid
of the fund for the erection of the
Lafayette monument In Paris In 1900
The first one of the issue was struck at
the Philadelphia mint Dec. IA, 1890, on
the one hundredth anniversary Of the
death OF George Washington. This
coin was set apart for presentation by
the president of the United States to
the president of the republic of
France.
The Lafayette dollar is a legal tender
dollar and bears upon its face a double
medallion Of the heads of Washing
ton and Lafayette and on the reverse
miniature reproduction Of the eques-
trian statue Of Lafayette, with the in
scription, "In Commemoration Of Mon
ument Erected by School Youth of
United States to General Lafayette.
Paris, France 1900"
The Lafayette memorial commission
was authorized to dispose Of them at
50 apiece, the profit going to the mon.
ument fund. The whole proceeding
was to honor the memory Of Lafay-
ette. and here was but one issue Of
the coins-viz, $4,000. They have be-
come widely scattered, mostly in the
hands of collectors, and are worth

how to fix her hair, remarks Arthur
Aull. Make women clip their hair like
the men and cut out their soft, filmy
costumes, their fluffy ruftles and the
careful manner OF accentuating the
hips and bust and you would hear very
little more about female beauty, Even
with every other aid but that Of the

THE umbrella CASE"
A Clever Lawyer and the Raising Of "A
False Issue"


A story well known to lawyers Of
the last generation is about the "um-
brella case" A man was charged with
stealing a handsome umbrella, and a
number Of witnesses went into the
box to testify TO the 0ffense. The coun-
sci for the defendant noted that each
witness carried an umbrella (the time
Of year was midsummer, which ex-
plains the necessity for these impedi.
ments).
AS q matter Of fact, the prisoner had
no defense to make. The barrister,
thrown on his wits, exclaimed: Gen
tlemen Of the jury, did you not notice
that each OF the witnesses carried an
umbrella into the box? Why is this,
gentlemen? 1t Is done In order to in.
feet your minds with the idea of an
umbrella, TO prejudice the prisoner in
your eyes. to raise "a false ISSUE and
l appeal to you to signify your detes-
tation Of this concerted action by
bringing In verdict of not guilty"
The judge. who imagined that little
attention would be paid to such plea,
took little time and less pains to sum
up the case. The jury nevertheless
with the resourceful barrister's wishes
and acquitted the guilty man.--London
