Chicago, Dec. 19.-In his exuber-
ance over the arrival of Alexander,
President Weeghman admitted that
he had secured a great bargain in
the famous battery, purchasing them
for s25, 900 less than he had planned
to spend.
Before the end of the week hope
to announce the acquisition of two of
the greatest players in the country"
said Mr.. Weeghman.
Wheat, Stengel. Hornsby, Groh
and a few other names were inserted
into the speech by the guests, but
the keeper of the roll seemed TO be

assent to the suggestions.
II can't give you the names now
continued the cheerful preXy, but 1

slightly dented. L went into the New
York meeting last fall and made this
speech to my fellow magnates in the
National League:
More Money to Spend
"I have 1000 to spend for
ballplayers. If any one OF you is in
need of money and has some play
ers to disose of, you know where
you can come
"If you will consider a deal for
Alexander and Killifer, 1 will give
you five minutes, as l am very busy
Don't waste your time on any other
suggestions.

He did and he mentioned a price,
the next day which was $685. 900 less

Has Wild Ride
The unwilling rider clung to the
animal for about two hundred yards
but was thrown off when a limb
of a tree struck him on the chin and
knocked him unconscious.
He lay for some time before re-
covering, then he hunted for an hour
before he found his rifle. Besides
receiving minor injuries he lost his
hunting knife, his hat and a number
of cartridges. The deer, presumably
temporarily stunned by the shot, got
away and has not been seen since.

on Schedule to
Come Up Next February

Chicago, Dec. 9-American Asso-
citation club owners probably will
decide at the meeting in February
to cut down the playing schedule to
14o games. Reduction of the sched-
ule was discussed at the annual
meeting yesterday and, according to
club owners here yesterday, the
shorter card was favorably receiv-
ed. Definite action, however, was de-
ferred until early in February, when
final plans for the coming season will
be made.
The most important action taken
at the session yesterday was elimi-
nation of the so-called spitball and
similar deliveries, and the decision
to open the season May 1 or q
three weeks later than usual.
Club owners also decided to re-
duce the player limit from IT to 16
and to return to the double umpiring
system.
Instead of contributing $4,000 a
year to the association as it's share
of the expenses, each club hereafter
will contribute a percentage of it's
receipts.

The Shifted Shame.

The ex-convict who recently testi-
fed that he, a mere unsophisticated
rounder Of thirty or more, was lured
into stealing from his employers by
woman to whom he gave part Of the
money, reminds me Of boy who was
brought into prison in New York one
afternoon in July, 1860. AS the turn
key led him along the youth saw in
cell a man with a smooth, shrewd,
somewhat hard face. The boy stopped
and addressed the man in the cell.
"You," he cried, "are the cause Of
my being herew
"How comes that?" inquired Hicks
the pirate, for the man in the cell was
none other.
"Why," said the boy, Il stole SIS to
hire boat so could 60 down to Bed

hanged."-New York Sun.

Possibilities of Bad Verse,

No one has yet written any adequate
appreciation of the possibilities Of bad
verse. The verse, I mean, that is COM
posed at the crises of life, on the noun
tain tops Of exultation and in the JOY
less valleys, by persons unskilled and
ordinarily unpoetic. The. verse that is
hidden away in vases and bureau draw
ers, never to be shown and always pro-
duced in some moment of vanity. Only
true poet could write a just appre-
citation Of bad verse; and from his pen
the words would come too much faint
ed with the implication of irony. The
quality of bad verse is not strained.
It is written to suit no magazines
policy. 1t is rewarded with no check.
1t is brave denying Of reality; a
prayer that is it's own answer. It is,
to use Maeterlinck's phrase, "a max
ing or invoking Of wings by creatures
that creep on their bellies.''--New Re-
public.

EUGENE war AID.
Former French Empress Active,
Though 81 Years Old.
consort Of tho Ill-Fated Napoleon III
Spending All Her Means and
Strength Caring for Wounded
at English Home.

When German prisoners Of war are
marched to barbed-wire Enclosure
near Frimley, Aldershot, England, they
pass down an avenue below a beautiful
mansion standing on wooden hill. It
often happens that as the Germans file
past the gateway lodge, a sad-eyed,
venerable woman is standing or sitting
there. It, Is doubtful if any of the
prisoners know that she is the surviv-
ing consort of Napoleon III, who deliv-
cred his sword to the king of Prussia
at Sedan, September 1, 1870.
Empress Eugene celebrated her
ninety-second birthday recently by
watching the sight of a new and large
detachment Of prisoners marching to-
ward their concentration camp. It
was dramatic contrast to the events
of many years ago which robbed her
Of her seat on the French imperial
throne.
Surely there is not another woman
In the world who has lived through
such experiences as this one, who
forms the link between the riotous
past Of the French and the glorious
present of united democracfes. 1t was
her beauty and popularity which aided
Napoleon III to establish himself as
monarch. It was the interest aroused
by her marriage with Napoleon III
which enabled him to bring about the
Crimean war, although that war mark
ed the beginning of his fall.
Engenie's influence over her hus-
band was we'll known and it is possible
that her Intelligence went far toward
helping him to realize that Prussian-
ism was the real menace of Europe.
When the North German Bund was
formed in 1866 he knew that here was
his real rival. From the date Of the
formation Of this bund Prussia has
gone steadily forward with plans for
world power, and it must be with feel
fngs of joy that Empress Eugene sees
today the greatest countries on earth
allied with France against the old
enemies of Napoleon III.
Throughout England the name Of
Empress Eugene is revered. Wher-
ever charity and kindness were to be
found it was almost certain that her
name would appear in connection
Herewith. Throughout the years that
have elapsed since she went to Eng
land with Napoleon III after the de-
feat at Sedan, she has worked I'M
ceasingly among the poor and the sick.
Her wealth has been at the disposal
Of charitable organizations. Her only
son, Prince Louis, who went to Eng
land with her, died on the field of
battle in Zululand.
Her home on Marlborough Hill has
been transformed into a hospital for
British officers. Since early in 1915
she has been using all Of her means
and what strength she has left in car
ing for these men who come to her
from the battlefelds of France.

Further Uses for Aluminium,

aluminium is now being substituted
in place Of wood in the manufacture
Of automobile bodies. Large sections
Of aluminium castings are now used
in making touring cars and the in
closed bodies of certain other motor
cars, a use which was not practicable
ten years ago. Cast aluminium is also
used for making automobile dashes.
Bodies made Of it are lighter than
those made Of other sheet metal, and
have rigid surface that will not dent
easily in case. of accident. The alum
mum surface retains paint well, and
the increased rigidity makes the car
more durable.

line-on a narrow front embracing
Reutel and Polderhoek-was report
ed to be successful. No deep advance
was attempted here. the operation
being mainly to improve the posi-
tions reached Thursday. On the
whole the Germans made a weak re-
sistance today. Their infantry ap-
peared demoFaliZed in many sections
and their artillery fire was weak and
erratic. No estimate of the total
German losses is possible, but they
are believed TO have been exceeding
ly heavy. The British and French
losses are reported TO have been
light. II is estimated at a conserva-
tive calculation that, in the attack
last Thursday, the German losses
aggregated 10000.

FRAZIER ACTION
HELD SOUND BY
COLE, In MINOT
REMOVAL ACTION
Law Under Which Execu-
tive Acted is Constitu-
tional Judge Holds

The statute under which Gov.
Lynn j. Frazier executed his suspen-
sion order to oust Mayor w. S. Shaw
of Minot from the office of president
of the Minot city commission, is held
constitutional in a decision handed
down at o'clock this afternoon by
Judge A. T. Cole of the Third judicial
district.
! The court holds that the statute,
fairly by implication, includes the
president of the city commission,
and that the governor had the power
of suspension and removal from pub
lice Office of such officers.
To Supreme Court.
The decision, which upholds the
governor in his action, will in all
probability go to the state supreme
court. While the case is pending in
the higher court, President Shaw will
continue to exercise the power of his
office.
The action is the outgrowth Of
recent raids by Attorney General
William LANCER and members of the
North Dakota Enforcement league at
Minot.
The suspension order was executed
by the governor several weeks ago.
