boasts. The Brooklyn slabman has
beaten McGraw's men II games in a
row.
Manager McGraw let Demaree go
two years ago because he believed he
was not strong enough to be a steady
and effective pitcher. He included him
in a trade which brought Hans L0-
bert, who now is utility player to
the Giants. Immediately after he was
traded to the Phillies Demaree set out
to prove that he was a better pitcher
than credited and one of the clubs he
delighted to defeat was the Giants,
and while he was a member of the
Philadelphia club he took 13 games
from them.
Demaree started this season sue

beating them with seven hits and win

ONCE A LIAR, ALWAYS ONE
Even Though He Turns Over New
Leaf and Decides Not to Be One,
He Cannot Cover Up Tracks.

Liars are persons who are In excel
lent repute with themselves, but who
are not on speaking terms with the
truth. They are divided into two
classes: Prevaricators who practice ~
ing as a fine art, and those by the
clock. Liars ply their trade for vari-
Gus reasons, some for gain, some for
glory and others just to exercise a
FESTIVE Imagination. A fellow can ac-
quire reputation as liar almost at
the first attempt, but no matter how
many truths he delivers after he has
turned over a new leaf and decided
not to be one, he is unable to cover
up the tracks he has made as single
handed liar.
A liar is affectionately spoken of as
Ananias, but the speaking is usually
done behind hts back for the reason
that should liar hear Of Remark OF
this kind, he would consider 1t a duty
to endeavor to scare the remarker into
spasms by mentioning that he had
once overpowered an armed division
of head-hunting Igorrotes and taken
their bolos away from them.
Liars are very useful to any COM
munity. When there is a well-read
carefree liar in the neighborhood
people in his vicinity come to have a
high regard for the truth. Of course
lying may be excusable in man after
he is married and has no facts to fall
back upon, but under no circumstances
should it be employed by children,
middle-aged or elderly persons. There
are few kinds of lies which may be
connived at as being necessary to the
advance of civilization; the ones a
fellow tells to his girl, the ones he uses
on his unsuspecting wife, the ones he
hands out among his friends, and those
he saves for his Notwithstanding
lis Star.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger Of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not infiame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit Of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

When the Statue Nodded.

SKETCH OF ALLAN SOTHORON

Is Former Juniata College Lad
Played Third Base.

Allan Sothoron, the st. Louis Ameri-

land to one hit in his big league debut
on April II, is a former Juniata col

Valley. The scout was highly ine
