GriR Hates Cigarettes.

Now If there is anything on this
green earth that Clark Griffth hates
more than an umpire tand everybody
knows Grif's aversion to indicator
handlers) it's a cigarette. He tried re-
peatedly to break Gandil Of his habit,
talking to him like a father to his son
time and again, but to no avail. Chic
Just couldn't or wouldn't quit the "cof-
fin nails"
The story comes to the writer first
hand that GandiIs cigarette smoking
became a real serious matter between
Chic and Griff last season. On occa =
sions Gandil longed for a drag puff, a
puH or whatever you Will, at pill and
was guilty of the objectionable offense
OF getting a taste" between innings.
Grin caught him at it and fined him
$40. not once, but any number of times.
Chic became disgusted with his
treatment at Griff's hands and ask ed
him TO trade or sell him TO some other
club. setting forth that II Grin fined
him SO to $50 every time he took a
puff he'd be in debt to the club at the
end of the season. SO. rather than be
at swords points with one of his stars
day after day Grin finally decided to
market him. And Cleveland grabbed
him off for $4,000.

THE PERFECT HUSBAND,
 OR A PERFECT CHUMP

Another perfect husband" has been found-this time in Brooklyn, N. Y. According to his own testi- mony he worked every day, stayed home every night, saved his money, bought home, gave his wife $100 every Christmas, never took a vaca- tion, never saw ball game, never went to the theater, never attended a clambake or picnic of any kind, never drank or smoked or chewed, never failed in faithfulness and affec- tion to his wife.
 And yet his wife has sued him for divorce, alleging cruel and inhuman treatment. She's bigger than he is, too.
 It looks, from here, as though the husband was a little too perfect. If he'd got out and had little fun once in while and sort of freshened up, instead of sticking around the house until his wife got tired of looking at him, or if he'd had vice or two, he might never have drawn that divorce suit.

BRAINS INVENT MACHINE
 THAT NOW ExCELS BRAINS

That proper gathering of cogs, wheels, steel and iron can accomplish results that would take the human brain hours, with its attending strain on the nervous and mental force of the individual, and that the result thus attained is mechanically correct, is one of the mechanical contrivances that the Marchant Company are placing on the market at the present time.
 The average mind cannot grasp the magnitude or the scope of the simple little machine, so constructed that the turning of few levers will give the result of any problem that the oper- ator can formulate.
 A description of the results accom- plished by the calculator would lead one to believe that it was large ma chine and most complicated. It is not. It is smaller than typewriter, with many less parts and less CO., plicated.
 The positive merit, recognized by the big business men of the country, caused demand for the machine that the limited factory of the company could not supply; in order to keep abreast of the times and supply the demand for the calculator, new build- ings and equipment were necessary, and for that reason a limited amount of stock is being offered to the pub- lie. The new buildings have been completed at their big plant and im- mediate funds to carry on the work forced them to reluctantly place a portion of the stock on the market. It is not promotion scheme, but a prosperous business fully established and proven a financial success. Its rapid growth depends upon their fa- cilities for turning out the machines.
 A short demonstration of the Cal culator to one who has no use for one and little knowledge of the uses to which it can be put, Is convincing evil dence that there is money in the man. ufacture of it, and that stock in such a company will become valuable.
 F. J. Giurbovich is demonstrating the machine at the Commercial hotel, and would be pleased to show it to any one who has doubts of it's merits. If you think you can stick him and his little machine, take around few problems in millions, compound inter est, division, multiplication or other complication and convince yourself that cog wheels, properly managed, are ten times more rapid and accurate mathematically than are even clear set of bright brains. Brains invented a machine that now excels brains in this particular line of work.

WOMEN ARE NOW ASKING
 PRESIDENT WILSON WHY2

Washington, Sept. 13.-Miss Helen Todd, secretary of the International Child Welfare League, left here Sept. Eth for Arizona, where she will take the stump for the Woman's party against President Wilson and the na- tional democratic ticket. She will speak also in other western suffrage states. Miss Todd declared that President Wilson originally had de- clined to back the child labor bill on the same ground on which he objects to having congress pass the Susan B. Anthony woman suffrage amendment, namely, that it was a state mater. Having forced the child labor bill through at last, despite his previous assertion that it should be left to the states, there is no reason, Miss Todd asserted, why the president should not have pushed the woman suffrage amendment through.
 "The women of the west who have had an equal share with the men in building up the country, whose moth CTS or whose grandmothers went west on the old prairie schooners,' said Miss Todd, cannot understand why they should be denied the right to vote and share in the gov ernment. In Arizona and in many of the other states where the vote came very easily to the women, and where the men would not have thought of voting against equal suf- frage, the women sympathize deeply with the difficulties which the eastern women have to fight against in their struggle to gain their rights.
 "In these days of preparedness, when women are giving of their money, their labor, yes, their own husbands and sons, to the country, President Wilson shows that he does no realize the spirit of the times in denying to women-who are doing their share in the industrial and every other phase of government pre- paredness-all right to have any share in the direction of the govern ment. Surely at time when women have shown their willingness to work in munition factories, help bear the heavy taxation and give freely of their sons for soldiers, it is no time to slam the door in their faces and tell them they can have no part in their own government"

In following my determination to
make the most out of my condition, /
have hit on a number of contrivances
and have stumbled on a number OF
ways of doing things more easily For
instance, ia the matter OF lacing ones
shoes When you buy them, have a
tight knot tied in the string after the
shoe has been laced BY doing this
you1l find you can easily lace and I'M
lace the strings without untying the
knot, simply by slipping the lace out
over the hooks
