 The food in Scandinavia is so differ. ent from that in America that many Americans become sick when they try to live on the same things that the natives do. They don't eat fruit and vegetables, but live on bread, fish and meat. The Danes are like the Nor wegians, for they adore fish, and even eat fish sandwiches for breakfast. An American lady we know here in Copen- hagen went to a dinner party and she was served with cold boiled codfish, and cold fish gravy tough as leather. She was polite and ate it, but as a re- suit she was sick all day.
 The Copenhagener likes to think himself very Bohemian, especially in his cafe life. The women also boast of being Bohemian, and a great many of them smoke cigars and drink whis- ky. One can often see young wom- an enter cafe, hang up her hat, flop into Q chair and order absinthe and a cigar, The Danes are great drinkers and the wine they drink takes the place of the fruit we eat in America.
 The Danish women are not nearly SO attractive as the Swedish and Nor wegian girls, and the women of Copen- hagen are not so stylish as the girls of Christiania. In Christiania one sell dom sees fat man. There the men are all big and rather angular. Here in Copenhagen the men are inclined to be fat, and they are much shorter than the Norwegians. v
 Things are not very expensive here in Denmark, except the things that are imported from Germany. We paid 50 cents for small leather strap and the salesman said that all the leather goods sold in Denmark were imported from Germany, and that the manufac- turers of Germany were so busy mak- ing war material that they had no time to make straps, Fruit is, of course, very dear. A bunch of grapes costs aodime. In one window we saw dis Mayed American Cornmeal." It cost 10 cents for cupful. { The people

ISNsNSS>' some of the hotels were as bad as in America. Ever since we have been here we have seen taxicabs full of strangers frantically driving around trying to get a place to sleep.
 Copenhagen Is a. very dirty town. The city evidently tries to keep things cleaned up, and everywhere you see the sign "spytning formudt." This does not mean spying forbidden as 1t at first seems, but merely splitting for bidden. Everybody here rides the bi. cycle. from the boy of six to the wom- an of seventy. The bicyclers take up all the street room and part of the sidewalk. They are very much like the taxis in New York city-they don't care whether they run over you or not.
 Are Partial to Phones.
 Next to bicycle riding the most pop ular exercise is -telephoning. Every body telephones all the time. and the little bells jingle everywhere. Every street corner has a telephone booth. These booths look like . cupboard standing on table, When you want to telephone you step inside the ta- ble. put your head in the cupboard. close the doors and none of the out side noises can be heard. If you see ! la fine building in Scandinavia. 1t is not . bank. nor hotel. nor yet . palace. but 1t is telephone building central.

Fate and Hank Gowdy.

Hank Gowdy's case is without parallel in tho history of baseball, Hank never was real swatter. He always could club them for. 250 or so-but what's that in these days Of " Cobb's and Iris Speakers seto? During the regular 1914 season Hank plunked lem out for an average well under 300. When the dopesters got busy figuring out what the diff tercnt players would do in the 1914 world series between the Braves and Athletics, nc orW figured that Hank would amount to 3 darn with the war club. >.
 But that very same Hank became the batting sensation of the series F.e went obat eleven times and tanged out six hits for the amazins average of .545. He made four two caggers, triple and home run in those eleven trips to tho plate-the greatest slugging average ever com rild by world series combatant. it was Hank and his bat that put the Athletics 10 rout and enabled the Braves to establish a record of vtc- tory in four straight games.
 Hank leaped from comparative bat ting obscruity into fame turing tha; four games series-and since then he has slumped back again to normal. Never in his life did he hit like he hit in that game. Never before and p.rhaps never again-will he slug as Le sluggei in those october days of 1914.
 Every lime think about Hank says Jim Gaffney, his boss," I mar vel at the strange workings of Fate. ''
 And SO does everyone else.

BASEBALL PACT DISASTROUS FOR
 FRANK BAKER
The Home Run" King Passed Up Offer of S134,
 900 for Three Years.
(By Frank G. Menke.)

New York, Jan. 4.-Those noan- ing sounds that have filled the air Curing the past week or so are no: tn distan rumblings of an active volcano: they merely are cries of anguish that escape from "Horne Ru," Frank Baker whenever h. thinks of the might-have-been.
 Just a few brief months ago. Frankie was approached by Fsderal az nts. who spoke to himl husly:
 "Ccme and join us. We will give 3cu s1O,O0O in cash as a bonus and we'll give YOU an iron clad three-yeaT contract calling for $S.o00 psr year
 "FIonestly, will you?' queried frankie.
 "Just to, show that we mean busi- ness" spoke up JaTes A. Gilmore, "i lard you herewith tcn 5000 bills and I nlace before you contract stating that we will pay you $S,00O per year and guarantee the payment"
 And Gilmore did that very thing.
 Baker fondled the yellcwbacks i1 g loving way. He hemmed and he hawcd He started to say: "All right. I'll sign" seWral times. but always iis tongue seemed to refuse t. form the words.
 Baker Rejects Fortune.
 Fi7ally. hc suluttered:
 "It's swell offer. gents, but I can't take it. I'm still .,nder contract with Connie Mack and some day l so ,qv want to get back with him. Fur ,bermore you can offer me job for cnly thr2e years. After. that l nav be out in the world"
 "But" interncsed Gilmore. eve effer .you s34,O00 for those three years. That's as much as you'd earn in organized baseball in six years"
 But Baker threw down the Federal offer: he said he would like t. take the matter, up again next spring. meaping the surino of 1916.
 And now. the Feds are dead. If Baker wants to go back into orga:- ized baseball he will have 10 go back at any sort of salary that the club owners decide to pay him. That proo- ally will be in the neighborhood of s2,500 T year Oh. yes Baker is worth r.ore than that-but ball players, in tie future, aren't going to get all trey are worth. And you rust re- member. too, that Baker is "in bad'' with his owners.

New Hog Cholera Vaccine
Interests Uncle Sam.

In Farm and Fireside Judson c.
Welliver tells us Of new hog chol-
era vaccine discovered by DIR. Duval,
Chief pathologist of Tulan University
of Louisiana. DR.. Duval was pre-
scented to Congress by Senator Brous-
sard, of his State. He said that for
long time he had believed that hog
cholera should be treated by vacci-
nation, and that he had produced a
vaccine with which he had expert
mented SO extensively that he was
prepared to express absolute convic-
ton that he could make any hog alb
solutely cholera proof. The vaccine
itself is a grayish powder and DR..
Duval has enough of it in his labora-
tory to treat great part Of all the
hogs in the country. Any farmer can
use it. All he has to do is to scratch
a pigs ear and rub 1t in.
The Senate committee was convin-
ced that DR.. Duval was convinced of
what he was saying, particularly as

PAINTINGS FOR LIONS.

Superintendent Anthony McNeal-
" of the ZOO tells me he decided to
give Jim and Babe, the two big lions
in the roundhouse, something to
amuse themselves with, so the other
day two wooden spheres about the
size of the old-fashioned bowling
balls were received. These were very
gingerly placed in the cages. From
the moment the big natives of the
jungle got their first glimpse of them
no three-ring circus ever held any
livelier program. As a cat plays
with a mouse, so did they knock
about the balls of wood. The latter
are indestructible. however, and try
as hard as they may the lions cannot
tear them to pieces.-Boston Post.
