The MISSING Purse.

On board a warShip which was In
the thick of the battle of Jutland and
was well hammered by the enemy
many poor fellows lost the number OF
their mess and many more were sadly
wounded. Among these latter, writes
the chaplain of the grand fleet, was
q sailor whose leg was so much shat
tered and lacerated by a splinter of
shell that there was nothing else to do
but to amputate it above the knee.
The poor wounded man was practical
ly unconscious from loss of blood, so
the surgeons were not able to tell him
of their intentions before operating.
Some hours later he recovered con-
seriousness and found himself COM
fortably tucked up with the stump
dressed and bandaged. When he
learned what had happened he broke
into an agonized cry. No, not for the
Gripping he had undergone; his cry
was:
"Where's my leg? For 'evin's sake,
find my leg, somebody! It's got all my
money in the stocking"

PLANTS MILLIONS OF TREES
State Of Pennsylvania to Carry Out
Extensive Plans for Refreshing
Operations.

Planting plans for the Pennsylvania
forests, allOtting 100000 forest tree
seedlings for this years refOresting OPP
eratiOns, have been approved by For
estry Commissioner COnklin, the Phila-
delphia Record states. In addition to
these trees for the state forests about
1,775,0O0 trees will be distributed free
of charge to private individuals and
corporations interested in reforesting'
Almost 100000 will be used by water
companies in reforesting barren wa
tersheds upon which borOughs and
cities depend for their water supply.
This number, although probably
greater than that TO be planted by any
other state in-the Union, is almost q
100000 under the record set by Penn
sylvania last year. The reasons are
shortage of labor and shrinkage of the
labor appropriation of the department
of forestry to almost microscopic size.

TO MAKE GARDEN PROPERLY
There Is Only One Way to Do 1t Right,
and That Is to Leave II All
to the Missus.

Gardening, so far as man Is con-
cerned, is much like hanging pictures.
Man can expect neither to hang the
framed portraits Of his wife's relatives,
nor to locate the naSturtiumS, the pop
pies and the candytuft, TO he satisfac-
ton. We have tried both and have
failed every time, says the Detroit Free
Press.
If We give Grand Aunt Elizabeth
Ann, as she was when seventeen years
of age, done into crayOn from a cab
met photograph and framed In genuine
black walnut, the prominent place over
the mantelpiece, the missus decides
that she should have been placed on
the east wall near the window. If we
give her the east wall she must go
over the mantelpiece. 1t makes no
difference what picture gets the spot
on the south wall, some other should
have had it.
And so 1t is with the garden seeds.
After we have carefully agreed on
what to plant the trouble begins. We
plONCCu " lllC SuiNO Nllllc ShC AC-
mains in the house to get the children
ready for school. At last, weary and
sore, and feeling that we have invited
return visit from intlammatOry
rheumatism, we announce that the job
Is done; the seeds are in.
She comes out to inspect the work.
1t won't do at all. 1t is not what she
thought we were going to do; it is not
what she wanted. We have put the
nasturtiums where the mignOnette
should have been.
The poppies were to have been near
the house and they are by the back
fence. And W have given the Yin
Mas the space she had selected for the
china asters. Nothing is right.
She might have known better than
to have trusted us to do the work. 1t
will have to be done all over again.
Anybody who has ever tried to gather
up mignOnette seed after it is once
planted knows how quickly man will
lose his temper when that proposition
IS submitted to him. There is only
one way to plant a garden property
that is to let the missuS do It.

garden. Farmers and scientists proved

WixOn kept on despite ridicule. When

ALEX HOLDING OUT
FOR SALARY RAISE
Phillies' Star Wants $4,000, =
Club Offers $4,000

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 27.-Tnc cx-
tent of the difference separating Grow,
err Cleveland Alexander, pitching star
Of the National League, and his en-
ployer, William f. Baker, became
known yesterday when the Quaker
executive made public his letter re-
plying to Alexander's demand of
three year contract calling for $15.-
600 a year. ALEC" wants almost
twice as much as Baker is willing To
pay him. The former New York Po- ,
lice Commissioner, now president OF
the Philies wrote a salary OF $4,000
into Growers contract.
In his reply Baker told Alexander
he was "astonished at 'Alec's' de-
mand." Baker also informed his star
hurler 1.-The offer of $4,000 still holds
good, and will not be increased by
any great amount"
This might be taken to indicate that
Baker might be willing to raise the
ante another $500, but nothing like
the $1,000. Alexander is holding out
for Alexander already has said he
would pitch mi-professional ball
rather than work for Baker at the
salary named in his contract.

Alexander was the lowest salaried

contract was said to call for some

$17,5OO, Collins SIS, 900, Evers $40, 600

tanned in Secret COnclave of Players
May Have Public Meeting.

New York, Jan. 27:-David l.,
Fultz, president of the Baseball
Players Fraternity, is thinking of
hiring a hall. This sage bit of slang
advice for people with theories to ex-
plot is likely to find literal interpre-
tation by the head of the players
union Dave declared yesterday that
he was bent on giving the players side
of the argument much publicity, and
for this purpose would probably en-
gage some theater or large assembly
place in this city for public speech
making by himself and colleagues.
The meeting, if one is held, will be
open to the fans. All the Demosthc
neses and Henry Clays Of the brother
hood have been lined up for the spell
binding. The solons of the OCTOPUS"
will be invited to engage in joint de-
bate. AS gambling proposition, the
Fraternity head would even be content
to rest his case with the verdict Of the
populace.
President Fultz was delighted with
the success of Thursday nights meet
ing at the Sherman Square hotel.
, Voiced Players Sentiments.
"A point that all of you writer's
missed,' said Dave, was that the
/ delegates to our convention repre-
! scented not only their own personal
views, but the sentim ent of players in
general. These men corresponded to
district leaders in politics. They came
from the centers of population from
all over the country. They had been
in closest touch with the Fraternity
members of their several districts.
Their enthusia SIN for the cause left no
doubt as to the final success in this
controversy
Most of the delegates from out Of
town are still here. They wish to be
in at the big rally if Fultz calls for
an open meeting.

NOTED SCRAPPERS
GOOD GOAT GETTERS
Getting Other Fellows Nanny
Decided Important Battles

Stories of how one fighter "got the
goat" of his opponent before they
began to mix 1t are frequent, but Joe
yelling pulled a new one on frankie
Whitney when they met at Kenosha
recently.
AS soon as the men got in the ring
Whitney walked over to Welling's cor
ner for the customary handshake and
perfunctory exchange OF good wishes
Then he seized Welling's hands and
began examining the tape bandages
yelling, apparently disinterested, was
looking out over the audience, nodding
to friends and smiling at their shouts
of encouragement. When Whitney
completed his examination and ex-
tending his own hands yelling didn't
turn.
Don't you want to look at my
bandages?" asked Whitney
whats the use?" said yelling.
turning away. you'll need all you've
got in them tonight"
Whitney's jaw dropped and he
stood as if petrified for moment.
He was visibly impressed and the re-
suit of that fght-a knockout of
Whitney in the fifth-showed that
yelling had guessed right.
Here's Another One.
Ad Wolgast, in the days when he
was lightweight champion, had a
habit Of running over to his oppon-
ents corner at the end of a round
and sitting down. 1t generally had the
effect of irritating the other man and
making him less cool when the bell
rang again, which was just what VOL
CAST wanted.
Mac Wanted Time.
Eddie McGoorty, twice winner over
Dave Smith in Australia, and match
ed to meet him a third time, made
victory in the new contest assured by
completely unnerving Smith, already
keyed up to the breaking point At
the instant when the men were
shuffling their feet in their corners
ready for the starting bell, and with
Smith poised for leap toward the
out: "Wait a minute and called a
second into the ring to fix some i'm
aginary defect in his belt.
Smith, expecting the bell and com
PEELED to wait, collapsed and fell an
easy victim in the first round.
Frank and Stanley.
A favorite trick of Frank Gotch
the wrestling champion. also has been
used with effect in the prize ring
Gotch ha a habit of shaking hands
with an opponent, then giving him a
quick jerk to throw him off balance
Just as the match started. This had
the effect of disconcerting the other
man and, if his nerves happened to
be on edge, of making him angry. l,
has been used successfully by severa
well-known fighters.
Stanley Ketchel used to stroll to the
center of the ring humming, as i
boxing were the least of his troubles
and it seldom failed to make the othel
man nervous.
