ATLANTA, Ga, May 3.-Ty Cobb

a baseball player, if he set his mind to
it, Judging from the one he told on an
Atlanta doctor friend the last time he
came south.
Baseball bugs" said the Georgia
Peach, are supposed to be pretty
rabid, but they are safe and sane COM

human insects.
"a friend of mine, young surgeon,
came to see me in my room at the
hotel the other day, and as we sat
Ginning he picked up book and
began to flip the pages idly.
"As he turned toward the end OF
the volume, he suddenly grabbed up a
paper knife, whacked out a page and
tossed it carelessly to the floor, talk
ing all the time.
THAT seemed good deal of lib

KNIFE ON CORNS
CAUSES LOCKJAW
Tells How to Loosen Tender Corn
So it Lifts Out without Pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison are
now told by Cincinnati authority to
use drug called freezone, which the
moment few drops are applied to any
.corn, the soreness is relieved and soon
the entire corn, root and all, lifts out
with the fingers.
It is a stick substance which dries
the moment it is applied and is said to
simply shrivel the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the Sur
rounding tissue or skin. 1t is claimed
that a quarter of an ounce will cost
very little at any Of the drug stores,
but is sufficient to rid ones feet Of ev-
cry hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at a corn is a suicidal habit advt.

At twenty-one we liked the lays
OF poets sad and melancholy;
We loved the lines that used to raise
The deuce with gaiety and folly.
Longfellow charmed us when he wrote
THE days are cold and dark and
dreary."
OF Bryan, that farewell poet,
Our youthful soul would never weary.
Some ten years later we preferred
The verses that sang of fame and
glories;
Our older heart was strongly stirred
By T. Macauley's rythmc stories.
We fell for Kipling very hard,
And always dotted our mental Kelly
To that inf1ammatory bard
And lifting lyrist, Mr. Shelley.
But now that we are sad ourselves,
And filled with musing melancholy
The favorite volumes on our shelves
Are those of joyous chaps and jolly,
Who have no reason for their rhymes,
Who know no literary fetter,
In these depressed and anxious times
The foolisher they are the better!

MULE MISSED HER TOBACCO
Mountain Canary Not Blamed for
Planting Hoofs in Back.

Thinking the animal made a mis-
take in not knowing whom she was
kicking, or 1t was his fault because he
forgot to give her the usual chew of
tobacco. Fred Wales of Grass Valley.
Cal. who carried his arm in sling
for some time rs the result of a kick
from Bessie, excuses his partner of
IA years for injuring him.
The mule Is known to every en-
ploye of the mine, four hundred and
fifty in all, and while there is no at
fection for her among 449 of them,
they all have a wholesome respect for
her in spite Of her contrary disposi-
tion. It Is mine classic that she
kicks the airpipe two feet above her
for exercise.
With Fred Wales, however, II Is
different. He has worked with Bes-
sie for / years and has become at
:ached to the animal. He excuses
her vagaries as an indulgent mother
condones the actions Of spoiled
child.
1t is merely a matter of tempera-
nent, he says, and the other men do
not understand her His faith was
shaken temporarily but not for long.
In the physicians office he took Of
fense at suggestion that the mule
shoyld be killed on account of her vi
clousness and rushed to her defense,
"It was perhaps my fault It GER
tainly. was not here. Bessie either did
not know who IL was when she kicked
or I had forgotten to give her the
usual chew of tobacco. / am willing
to take all the blame"

THE CIGARETs WE'RE WOOD
Widow Who Bought Business Sues
for Misrepresentation.

Mrs. Nellie Schafer came here from
Delaware county, okla, several weeks
ago. She desired to trade ten acres OF
land she owned In Oklahoma for a
business which would support her and
her two children. She did exchange
the land October Is for cigar stand
at Eighth street and Grand avenue,
owned by Joseph l.. White. She was
given to understand. she said, the
stock was worth 5000 and the good
will and the ct cetera as much more
and that the rent and all bills had
been paid. Soon afterward a custo-
nIer who had bought a packet of Gig
arets returned and showed her the
Jacket contained block of wood in
stead of clgarets.
Then another customer expostu-
lated at having bought a nice trim
rectangular piece of wood all neatly
incased in n cigaret container; and
another, and another. She examined
the stock. All except the top layer
of cigaret boxes were that way, and
almost all the cigar boxes were empty.
Then a man came to collect past due
rent, and more men demanding over
due bills. Then she went to the pros
ecutor and obtained a warrant charg-
ing White with obtaining money un-
der false pretenses.-Kansas City

But In Kansas there is a man named
Homer Mckee. He wrote prayer
and 1t was printed in the state board
of health bulletin. The bulletin fails
to identify Mr.. Mckee further than
to publish his name. Which is enough,
in a way, for the prayer speaks for
the man. Here it is:
Teach me that 60 minutes make an
hour, 16 ounces one pound and 100
cents 81.
Help me to live so that / can lie
down at night with a clear conscience,
without a gun under my pillow, and
unhaunted by the faces of those to
whom ! have brought pain.
Grant, / beseech thee, that I may
earn my meal ticket on the square,
and in doing thereof that / may not
stick the gaff where it does not be-
long.
Blind me to the faults Of the other
fellow, but reveal to me my own.
Guide me so that each night whep
look across the dinner table at my
wife, who has been a blessing to me,
l will have nothing to conceal.
Keep me young enough to laugh
with my children and to lose myself
in their play.
And then when comes the smell of
flowers and the tread of soft steps,
and the crunching of the hearse's
wheels in the gravel out In front of
my place, make the ceremony short
and the epitaph simple.
