Uncle Wiggily saw the duchess with
q funny smile on her big face take the
pepperbox the cook ave her and start
to sprinkle the black stuff over the
baby In her lap. The baby was cooling
and gurgling-as all babies do after
their bath-and didn't seem at all to
mind being peppered.
"They season turkeys. SO why not
babies" asked Alice Of Uncle Wiggily.
The bunny gentleman was just going to
say he did not know the answer to that
riddle. when the door suddenly opened
again and. in came q great big dodo
scalery alligator, only worse, with a
beak ltlA that Of q mosquito.
"Ah. hal" chirped the dodo. AT last
I ave found him." and he made q dart
for Uncle Wiggily. The dodo was just
going to grab the bunny gentleman in
his claws. n Mr.; Longears was so
shivery he didn't know what to do,
when the duchess, suddenly tossing the
baby to the cook. cried:
Fla! No you don't! / guess it's you
I want to pepper instead!" and with
that she shook the box Of pepper at the
dodo, who began sneezing as hard as he
could sneeze.
"Aker-choo! Aker-choo! Acker-
choo!"' sneezed the dodo.
"Keer-zoo! Keer-zoo! Keer-zoo!"
sneezed the duchess.
'Goo-snitzio! .Goo-snitzio. Coo
%snitzio!' sneezed Alice.
"Fizz-buzzy-w uzz! Fizz- buzzy-wuzz!
Fizz-buzzy-wuzz!" sneezed Uncle Wig
gily. and then the dodo gave another
very large special S and 10 cent store
sale sneeze and blew himself backward
out OF the door. So he didn't get Uncle
Wiggily after all. 5
And now we are all right said
Alice when they had all finished sneez-
ing, including the baby. Have some
soup. Uncle Wiggily."
So the bunny did, finding 1t very
good, and made from cabbage, and then
he went home to his stump bungalow.

UNCLE WiGGlLY AND THE
DUCHESS.

Uncle Wiggily Longears. the rabbit
gentleman, was hopping along through
the woods one day. looking for an ad-
venture, when all of a sudden, he came
to a door standing up between two
trees. 1t was q regular door, with a
knob. hinges and all, but the funny
part OF 1t was there didn't seem to be
a room on either side OF 1t.
"This is remarkable!!" exclaimed
Wiggily. remarkable" meaning the
same thing as queer. 1T il very odd!
Here is q door and the jamb-'

Then 1 don't want any door jamb
II -. want bread and JAM" said the katy
Katydidn't. leaving Uncle Wiggily to
stare at the lone door.
Well" said the rabbit gentleman
to himself, II may as we'll see what's
on the other side. Though a door all
by itself in the woods is the strangest
thing I've ever seen.
However, ne turned the knob.
opened the door and stepped through,
and. to his surprise, he found himself
in q big kitchen which seemed magi-
cally to have appeared the momen he
entered 1t. At one n was q big stove
with a o fire in 1t, and or the stove
was being stirred by a big fat cook
lady, who was shaped like q ham, with
out the string in the end. of course. For
the cook could stand and didn't need to
be hung on a nail as a ham is.
In front or the fire was another large
lady. with a bonnet on almost as large
as the Hatter's hat. Over the bonnet
was q fluffy. flowing veil.

OUR SENSE OF TASTE.
Tastes fall into four great divisions.
with many subdivisions. Of course.
These are bitter. sweet. salt. and sour.
kitchener summarizes the grouping AZ
follows:
Salt and sour contrast: the sour
induced by salt being clearer n
stronger than the salt induced by sour.
1ESweet and sour contrast: the
sweet induced by our being clearer and
stronger than the sou induced by
sweet.
s-Salt and sweet contrast: the sweet
Induced by salt being clearer and
stronger than the salt induced by
sweet.
4-Bitter shows no contrast at all.
Nichols and Baily say that one part

be tasted. The strength required to
make h tastes appear are: Acid. n
part to $500: salt, n part to 1000:
sugar. n part to 204. The taste nerve
are evidently far more sensitive to bit
ters than they are to sweets.
Taste is one OF the first senses ac-
Qutred by the human being. The micro
cop shows welt developed taste buds
IN the, mouths OF babies several months
before birth. The newly born baby can
not hear or see. but he can taste. He
can taste both sweet and bitter. His
tongue Is most sensitive to taste inn

are quite sensitive to taste in children.

The sense of taste bears relation to
both i'll health inc health. There are
many conditions which cause q coating
on h tongue. These coatings interfere
with h sense Of taste. Physicians are
skilled In interpreting the meanings of.
different types OF coated tongue. The
relation OF coated tongue to taste Is not
solely q negative one. Under certain
conditions of constitutional or local dis
order there may be q taste Of salt,
sweet. sour, or bitter. In hernOrrhage
one tastes salt. In diabetes there is q
sweet taste. The bitter taste of bilious
ness Is widely known. Perversions OF
taste more or less known are dirt eat

TY COBB MADE
DEBUT In DETROIT
JUST IL YEARS AGO.

Tomorrow will he a day of proud
and happy memories for the good
burghers of Detroit, for the 30th of
August commentaries. the greatest
event in the city's history since that
summer day in 1901 when Antoine
de Ia Motto Cadillac, of Montreal.
arrived on the site of Detroit and
built the first automobile factory and
organized the first home team.
That historic event. as all must
know by this time, was the arrival
in Detroit of Tyrus Raymond Cobb,
who with his two other illustrious
namesakes. Irwin and Corn on The,
occupies the foremost place in con-
temporary American history. 1t was
IL years ago, come tomorrow, that
the Georgia peach played his first
major league contest. Tvs debut in
Detroit on Aug. 80, 1903, was in a
game against the New York Yankees,
and the team from the big, town was
made to bite the dust by a score Of
5 to 8. Jack Chesbro was the first
big league pitcher Ty faced, and he
slammed out a double during the fes-
tivities In his first game at st.
Louis, Cobb failed to get a hit, Ables
and Buchanan being In the box for the

TRIPLE PLAY PUT
OVER BY YANKEES
WHO LOSE GAME

Chicago, Aug. 2s-The Yankees
closed their final Western trip here
yesterday afternoon by dropping their
third. straight game to the league
leading White Sox, the final score be-
ing 4 to g.. Donovan's men outfle1ded
the home team and hit the ball hard,
but a spell of wildness by Caldwell
handed out three successive passes to
LeiboId, McMullen and E. Collins. The
last pass forced Schalk over the plate
with the last Chicago run.
The game was marked by plentiful
Spectacular fielding, a triple play by
the New York team being the MASTER
piece. Two were on bases in the third
inning when Collins hit a slow roller
to Caldwell, and Leibold got the de-
cision when Caldwell threw to. third.
This brought up Joe jackson, with the
bases filled. Jackson hit line drive
at Baker, and the latter stepped on
third base, retiring Leibold. Then he
shot the ball to Gedeon at second, and
McMulleh was a step behind in his
race to the bag. The play cut down
a fine chance for more runs by the
home team.
The Yankees were almost as un-
fortunate I'M the next frame. Peck
opened with a single to left and, got
an extra base on Jackson's tumble.
Pipp hit long fly to'sthe bleacher
fence in right field, and Peck had to
| hug second base to advance after "a
catch. Leibold just touched 1.-THE ball
with his glove as he backed into the
fence, and it went for double, but
Leibold got the ball back so fast that
Peck was held at third. Gedeon fol-
lowed with a. drive that went from his
bat like a shot to Risberg, who made
a pretty catch and threw to Eddie
Cellins for a double play on Pipp.
| With two on bases and none out in
the eighth another double play by the
Chicago inf1eld killed a fine chance
for a New York rally. Bakers catch
of a line drive by Feisch was another
fielding feature.
The White Sox could do little with
Caldwell except in the fifth inning. .Ir
this frame they punched four of thei,
ten hits, and two runs were pushed
over the plate. The Yanks were moi
able to bunch their hits to any effect
but they succeeded in driving Williams
to the showers in the sixth inning.
