Peanuts Served Free With Meals.

FCdHutS 0STNSO FTC0 WIN VCdlSs
Down in the jewelry section Of Maid
en- Lane, New York, there is restau-
rant where peanuts are piled high in
dishes on every table.
So far as is known this is the only
establishment to maintain help-your-
self dishes for which no charge is
made.
Among the patrons nearly all dip
into the peanut dish about pie time,
but the number Of peanuts eaten in .
day is not great.
The manager says he has always
believed that there should be some
thing served in q restaurant with the
compliments of the house.
Like the late George Francis Train,
he maintains that peanuts are good
for digestion.

Gypsy Kiss Routs Policeman.


Policeman Fred Barton, who has
never been looked upon as a Beau
Brummel, was directed to follow q
couple Of pretty gypsy women to
see that they did not tell fortunes. He
followed the pair into store, and
thought he detected them in making
an effort to do business when he spoke
to them.
"Oh, my dear little thing" cried one
of the women, as she threw herself
in his arms and chung to his neck and
kissed him fairly upon the lips. The
policeman's face was crimson as he
rushed back to city hall and de-
clared that some other member Of the
force would have to be assigned to
trail the women.-Bridgeton IN. -

ENDED PERIOD OF INAcTIoN
Before Verdun Attack Soldiers Had Q
Comparatively Easy Time In
the Trenches.

"The verdun battle ended q very
long period of inaction," said Col Don
Nicolas y Cereijo, the Spanish military
attache, at reception.
'The inaction was, In fact, so
marked that an English officer, talking
to me while over here on brief leave,
said:
"'Oh, yes, we were quite comfy In
our winter quarters - jolly fine
trenches, good bunk holes, quiet Ger
mans. We'd been told that there were
only the caretaker and his wife In the
German trench opposite ours. He fred
the shots while she sent up the flares.
"'We used to get SO fed up with do
ing nothing the English officer con-
tinued, that we'd organize every FRI
day cleaning fatigue. We'd take
down all our sandbags and give them
a thorough busting, and sections Of
our men, armed with the very latest
and most potent polishes, would go out
and polish up the long lines Of wire
entanglements till they shone like viz
gin silver in the winter SUM-
"Of course" ended Colonel Cereijo,
'the Verdun offensive ended all that
kind of joking talk"

Miles standish Tale Myth"

One by one the good old tales that
cheered childhood's happy hours are
being taken away from US. First
comes Sidney George Fisher and de-
clares the Washington Ratchet and
cherry tree tradition an exploded
myth" Now comes Rev. Paul Sturte-
want Howe, rector of the Church OF
the Advocate, Cape May, and declares
that Miles Standish never sent John
Alden to WOO Priscilla Mullen.
Doctor Howe told the members OF
the Mayfower society at their annual
banquet that he knew there was no
foundation for Longfellow's famous
poem because he himself was de-
scendant of John and Priscilla. John
Alden spoke for himself all the
time. said Doctor Howe. and Miles
Standish barely knew Priscilla.

port Of this says: "The Dawes hotel

that this lack of any sitting process, to-

Outfelder Daniels Made
Good Record in West
ern Canada League.

In lining up Topeka players for the
coming season, there is one thing of
extreme Importance. The man who
fills ex-Manager Jimmy Jackson's
place in centerfield must be capable
of playing a brand of ball that will
make the local fans glad ''Jumpin
James is no longer in our midst.
And, in "Josephus' Daniels, d
youngster from the far northwest
Savage believes he has found a man
who fills the bill. Daniels has g. rec
ord that indicates he is a conner, and
he has a reputation that is even better
than his record.
The northwestern frontier gardener
has been playing ball since 1912. In
IL, 10 and a part of IA he was in
the Western Canada league. In the
latter part of II he went to the Oak
land club of the Pacific Coast league,
but broke his hand just before the sea-
son closed and was not able to play
regularly last season, although he
played independent ball during the
shank of the summer
One of the best recommendations
given Daniels comes from Brown. last

drafted into the big leagues. Brown

AS far as it went, the wrestling
match in North Topeka last night be-

of the best graphing performances
that has been seen here in the past
two years. But, after each man had
won fall, Dugan forfeited the match.
claiming that Hoffman fractured an
old injured rib with body scissors
hold Those who examined him, said
that he did appear to have a bad Stat.
and since they had seen over half an
hour of good work, the spectators
voted that they had been given their
moneys worth
The men were about equally match
ed in weight and strength. 1t took
Dugan 33 minutes to get the first fall.
After having tried about every hold
in his repertoire, the visitor finally
caught Hoffman with a head scissors
and arm bar and pinned his shoulders
to the mat.
Hoffman won the second fall in IS
minutes with a body scissors that put
Dugan9 out of business. After the
match had been forfeited, Hoffman
and Ray Baldwin, the Auburn marvel,
put on an exhibition Baldwin and
Sam Harper worked in one Of the fast
est preliminaries ever witnessed, the
former getting two straight falls in
scat" time.
Baldwin, who is quite a husky
youngster and who thinks he has q
future on the mat, is anxious to get out
of the prelims and issues a challenge
to any 100 pound grappler in the state.
He Las been matched with Floyd Dag

It is probable that Hoffman and Du-
gan will try to go to a finish in a sec
ond meeting as soon as DugRn recov-
ers from his injuries.

now is, the left field fence is SO close
to the home plate that left field hit
tiers frequently fatten their extra base
records by driving over the fence.
An added so feet, extending from the
foul line on the left of the field to the
center flagpole would make the hit
ting of a homer over the left field
fence almost as rare as homers in
right field now are, and Savage be-
lieves that an enlargement of the pre-
serves would add to the interest in
the game and improve the standard OF
ball offered to the local fans.
However. this last Improvement
may not come until DR. Savage is con-
WINGED that his Topeka baseball pa

is hoped it will be before the coming
season is far advanced
