Pirates Try in SIXTH.

The sixth inning brought the fans
to their feet in the interest OF the
Pirates. Jim Smith opened by tap
ping bounder toward short. His
speed carried him to first ahead Of the
ball. This was fine place to inject
Ed Barney and Callahan wisely cali
ed for the outfelder, who has been
playing the bench for the last few
days. Barney faced Alexander few
times last season and did not respect
the ability Of the star. He also
showed his disregard for Alex at this
tuncture. but the fates were against
him.
Barney had one ball and no strikes
when he flashed Smith the run and
hit sign. The Greenfield stripping
was away with Alexis motion and
Barney crashed his bat against the
ball. The sphere streaked through
the infield with terrific force, but the
ball went straight into the hands of
Bert Niehoff. II It had been a few
feet higher or wider, Barney would
have earned triple and Smith would
have scored. The Buccos had little
or no chance after this incident.
Three Hits in Infleld.
Three Of 1.-THE four Pirate hits did
not get beyond the infield and second
base was reached only twice, Scoops
Carey getting half way around the
circuit both times. Carey had two
hits, one Of them being clever bunt

play. Hinchman got the only out

in the second inning.

The Thespian's Fiasco.

Among Italians, a correspondent IN
Rome tells me, the origin Of the term
'sfiasco'' for failure is believed to have
originated in the remark of an old ltal-
ian actor. He had in the course of a
play to deliver a somewhat lengthy
monologue, in which he invariably
scored a great success. 1t was his
habit to always hold some object or
other in his hand, changing the article
every time he appeared and never u.s.
ing the same thing twice. One even
ing, seeing a wine battle called in
Italian fasco), he seized it and pro-
ceeded on the stage to pronounce his
soliloquy. Whether it was that on that
occasion the audience was extraordi-
narily difficult to please or whether it
was that the actor was not up to his
usual form, the fact remains that for
once he did not obtain his customary
applause, from which time the phrase
stare fiasco' has become general in
the Italian language-London Chron-
icle

Oldest Bank In the World.

1t is thought that the oldest bank in
the world is the Palazzo San Giorgio.
on the Piazza Caricamento, in Genoa.
This institution has played promi-
nent role in the history Of the Italian
city It was built in the year 1860 by
order Of Guglielmo Boccanegra, soap
tain of the republic of Genoa, and
after serving as his residence was the
headquarters Of the famous company
and bank Of st. George.
It is held that the modern system of
banking sprang from this historic ed
ifice and that the Societa Dele Com
prere di San Giorgio was the first ''lim-
tied liability company" The architect
Of the building was a monk named
Oliviero. Although it's architecture has
undergone a number of changes, the
facade still speaks eloquently Of the
thirteenth century. It's arcades with
pointed arches and it's windows form
ed of little columns are exceedingly
misunderstanding Star.

Clever Hindu JuqqIers.

It is admitted that the Hindu jug
glers and acrobats ATE the most skill
full In the world. One Of the latest re-
ports is about a performer who went
through many wonderful feats perch
ed on the top Of single bamboo stick
about fifteen feet in height The top
of the stick was tied to a girdle
around the waist, and leg rest was
provided by a cushion few feet down
the pole. Perched on this slender
stick, he hoped and danced round in
the liveliest way, accompanied by the
tapping of drum. He did other
things even more wonderful. For ex-
ample, he balanced light stick on
his nose and heavy one on his chin
and then threw the heavy one into the
air with his head and caught it on the
end of the light one. While balancing
the two sticks thus end on end he
made one revolve in one direction and
the other in another direction.

HoIIanders and Herrings.

Holland can claim the honor OF hav-
ing first established herring fisheries
and taught its people the very great
nutritious value of this fish. A Dutch
man, Wilhelm BenkelsZoon, discovered
the secret Of preserving behring's in
the fourteenth century, and the salted
herring made its appearance on the
market in precisely the same manner
as it now does, for the preserving
process has undergone no marked
change. Your Dutch fisherman is an
expert at his job and can manage as
many as 1000 fish in an hour, working
at top speed. He ties short knife
to the third and fourth fingers of his
right hand by string, which is at

thrusts it through the gill cavities and.
with a sharp cut, brings away the gills.

Indians, Time Table.

Certain of the reservation Indians
still cling to the calendar Of their an
cestors, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Indian method was to compute
time by sleeps and moons. A sleep
is twenty-four hours, and moon is a
month. There is also a midmoon.
where the sun is at II o'clock meridian.
This hour is indicated by pointing
overhead.
When an Indian pointed quarter way
up the sky he meant 8 o'clock; when
he pointed quarter way down he meant
3 o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern
horizon and sunset the western.
When there was moon the time
was indicated in the same way as by
the sun. Where an Indian added the
distance to a certain place or how far
he had come he would say so many
sleeps or days travel. A sleep, as de-
scribing distance. was about thirty-five
miles when walking deliberately or
from fifty to seventy-five miles if go

The City Federation of Women's
Clubs has joined the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association and conse-
quently the sale. of Red Cross Seals
falls to it's lot this year. The Anti
tuberculosis Association is making
tremendous fight against tuberculosis.
Through it's efforts State and County
Sanatoria are being erected and
equipped. There is at present one
State Sanitarium at Wales-and nine
county sanatoria. Here Rock County
is in the back row, altho we have one
of the richest counties in the state and
$50 tubercular people in this county.
We know, positively, that tubercu-
losis is durable. The need OF early de-
lection of this disease together with
the necessity of pains-taking care to
prevent it's spread is one reason for
the services of visiting nurse. 1t is
through the work of this association
that this branch of public health ser
vice. was instituted and with the Seal
Sale in Edgerton one-half of the pro-
ceeds will be retained by the Fedora
ton for the support of the vlsltlsg
nurse.
During the past few years the Fed
Grafton has had a Tubercular fund de-
rived from the sale of seals and thru
this fund several Edgerton tubercular
patients have been assisted in procur-
ing clothing, blankets, etc., at Wales
Sanitorium-others upon returning
home have been provided with milk
and eggs for weeks at time when
without this assistance these would
have been almost the impossible and
still others who were beyond hope of
cure have been provided with comfort
which otherwise must have been de-
MED.
Seals will be on sale at one cent
each in the business places in the
city-also by children in the schools
and members of the City Federation.

The bubonic plague Of today is iden-

middle ages. Primarily a disease of
rodents caused by short dumb bell
shaped microscopic vegetable, the pest
bacillus, it occurs in man in three
forms-the pneumonia, which has a
death rate of almost 100 per cent; the
septicaemic, which is nearly as fatal
and the bubonic, in which even with
the most modern methods of treatment
the mortality is about so per cent. The
disease is now treated by serum dis

"Pray Before Being Married"

Here is Russian proverb that
might be made good use of. 1t Ger,
tainly would dispel a multitude of sor-
rows, especially the last one, which
would prevent many hasty marriages
and relieve the courts of many divorce
cases. 1t takes matrimony out Of the
pale of whims and makes divine con.
sideration of it. The proverb runs this
way:
IF you go to war, pray; if you go
on sea journey, pray twice, but pray
three times if you are going to be
married"
Good advice, all of it. There is too
much that is hysterical In the matri-
monial venture, and little praying
will tend to relieve the mind. Ohio

Maxim Mistakes.

Big men make big mistakes. Little
men could not make big mistakes If
they tried, they haven't the capacity.
The fellow of strong personality, the
man who grabs at an opportunity with
all his might and goes straight toward
its accomplishment hurriedly is more
likely to make big mistakes than the
weazened of the world who are timid
and afraid. But the mistakes do not
amount to so much with him-that is
the point. The little fellow who makes
a mistake is lost. But the big fellow is
only encouraged by making mistake
and often is able to drag success over
his errors as a giant might drag bull
through the underbrush. The little fel
low is not to be blamed, but the big
fellow is to. be admired

Plenty of Time For Action.

The police magistrates so often adj
monish women compliments to come
back and report any further wrong
doing On the part Of husbands who
have been released that these judges
fall into the habit of repeating the ad

man and wife are concerned
The other day woman told one OF
the magistrates that her husband had
threatened to kill her.

trate mechanically, very well; If he
does. you come back and tell me, and ]
will punish him." Case and Com
