WHERE!THE CRIME OCCURRED
Court Decided That Heaven Had No
Particular Relation to the
- Case on Trial.

Even remote cobwcbs, callous to the
ordinary flow Of legal .oratory, suf-
fered a severe jolt In their hooks in
the" District Of Columbia Supreme
court building, when certain dark
skinned emulator of Demosthenes de-
livered one Of his $50 speeches to q
jury, relates the Washington Times.
Be 1t understood in passing that this
AfrO-American member of the district
bar is known to have three set ad-
dresses, each of which he agrees to rid
himself of for the acquittal Of his
client for a stipulated price. Now the
$25 type of Oratory is his best, the
other two being Of the $40 and SIS
species. 1t was the highest priced ad-
dress that was being delivered on the
occasion in question.
John Doc, negro, was charged with
stabbing "a fren'." The evidence was
all taken and 1t behooved the EthiO-
plan Demosthenes, representing John,
to impress. not only John, but numer-
GUS others in the courtroom, who, to
use legal Technology, might be placed
In the category Of irrespective
clients"
"When man took Father Time by
the forelock and started to neander
with him down the halls of Eternity"
vociferously began the negro attOr-
ney. You could have heard pin drop.
And then without further mention
Of the evidence against his client the
perspiring orator scared into the high
er realms and started a dissertation
anent the angels and archangels. Old
er habitues of the court realized that
the defendant Mt the bar had paid "a
$25 fee to his counsel and anticipated
a half hour Of irrelevant epigrams and
verbiage. But not so the court. r.
"Leave heaven and get back to Ana
costia," the court laconically suggest
ed. "There's where this crime hap
pened." f.
Now every one Is wondering wheth-(
er the $25 address is being revised.

Rheumatism superstitions.

It is when it comes to rheumatism
that old superstitions come most def
nitely to the fore, and there are
scores of cures and preventives which
have come down through the centuries.
One of these which the Belgians have
introduced to the fighting men at the
front is the wearing of a strip Of cat
skin beneath the coat. According to
the Belgians. this makes you immune
from both rheumatism and govt, and
with the trenches deep with mud and
icy water, the average soldier, wheth-
er in France or England, is only too
glad to "take a chance" on any sort
Of preventive, and it is said that
scores of domestic pussy cats have
been offered up as sort Of sacrifice
to provide whole regiments with the
coveted strip of fur. The fad has
spread to England, where "catskin'
bands are now sold; but so far Ameri-
ca has been content with the theory
that the wearing of a steel ring, or
the carrying of potato in the pocket,
would keep off the dread aching OF
joints and muscles.

LILY FROM BERMUDA
Most Of Bulbs Have Come From Island
Gardens but They Arc Now Be.
ina Grown In United States. j..

The Faster lily, the accepted floral
emblem of that church festival, was
introduced into this country about fifty
years ago from Bermuda. The little
group of islands have sent us millions
of bulbs and received millions Of
American dollars in return. The large
eastern cities buy hundreds of thou
sands of bulbs annually, costing in the
neighborhood Of $500 per 1000. " e.
OF late years some disease has at.
tackled the bulbs, and on this account,
and by way Of developing our own
possibilities, experiments in the culture
of Lilium longiflorium, the botanical
name of the Easter lily, have been
made, which prove that in sections Of
Florida. Mississippi, Washington, Ore
gon and California 1t can be grown
with perfect success. Thus, it is point
cd out, we are making ourselves indie
pendent in the way of beauty as well
as in matters Of greater utility and
commercial importance.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1917-06-18

Fielder Jones has practically the
same idea. '. 3H lis
NShortstops and second lbascmen
have to cover lot Of ground said
Jones, "third ,basemen don't. For that
reason a man who has all the requi-
sites of a shortstop or second base
man except ability to cover territory
might easily make a good third base
man. He must be able to handle
everything that comes down his way
and field hunts we'll. He must also
have excellent Judgment in finding
out what the batter is likely to do
Summed up, the situation is about
this:
A third baseman must be able to
handle the hardest kind of ground
balls. They come to him harder than
to the shOrtstOp or second baseman,
for he gets them from 60 to 80 feet
from the batter, while the keystone
combina ton rarely gets ground balls
as close as 80 feet and often much
further away, after they have lost
part of their velocity.
TO make up for this, however, the
shortstop must handle three canoes
to the third sacker's two and the sec
Ond baseman eight to the third base
mans five. Major. league records for
five years show this proportion.
The third baseman must have an
accurate and speedy throwing arm
to make the long throws to first 127
feet away
The third baseman must use almost
infallible judgment in fielding his po-
sition in case of a bunt, for he can
easily be tricked by batter unless
he is up to his job every minute.
