The Alton pitcher was next to bat.
Here was chance for him to win his
own game, and the set of his Jaw

Steve. out in center, watched him anx-
iOusly as he swung and missed the first
ball.
Hope he doesn't send it out this
way" Steve Ruttered, his mind still
troubled by Hazel's request. His wish,
however, bore no fruit, for the Alton
pitcher knocked the ball high In the
air toward center.
Steve, gauging correctly, saw that he
would not have to move more than a
lew PAGES from his tracks to catch the
ball. He braced himself and watched
the sphere descend. 1t seemed as If 1t
would never get to him. He held out
his hands, cupped for the catch. Some
Of his teammates, displaying Q su.
preme confidence in him, already had
left their positions and were on the
way to the bench.

on the bleachers. "That bog never

The ball struck Steve's glove, and at
the same instant he seemed to see Ha-
zel's face rise before him. The sphere
bounded from his hands, and, while he
chased it frantically, two Alton base
runners scored. Steve recovered the
ball and threw it to second In time to
stop the Alton pitcher, but the tie was
broken. with the score to In favor
of the enemy. The next batter struck
out, and it was Clifton's turn at the
bat.
The last half of the ninth opened
with the tallies unchanged. The Cliff
ton captain went among his players
pleading with them to "do something
for the old school," And they re-
sponded. The first man up knocked
a sizzling grounder past second and

First Use Of Toilet vinenar

Perhaps the ladies who use toilet
vinegar would like to know its origin
The story runs like this: During the
great plague that visited Marseilles.
Tour highwaymen who had formed a
gang, Invented an aromatic vinegar by
means of which they could rob the
dead and dying without any fear of
Infection. This vinegar was for a
long time known in France under the
name Of "Vinaigre de quatre voleur."
and eventually became toilet vinegar.

Secrets Of the Salmon

A single scale from a salmon will
tell you its owners age. and whether
his pickings have been slim or the op-
posite. When viewed through micro
scope, the scale will reveal tiny lines
which have developed at the rate of
10 year. Lines crowded close prove
that the salmon has been living high.
Lines widely spread indicate a scant
diet.

Ancestral Brains.

Some folks live on the glory of their
ancestors. They tell of the great
things they did and the greater things
they think they did. Then when they
get the ear Of some one especially
sympathetic and credulous. there is an
eruption of boast of greatness that
might have been. These poor creatures
live in the past. It's no wonder they
do so little in the present.

Minor Scales.

There are two forms of the minor
scale, VIZ, the melodic and harmonic.
The former is simetimes called the
vocal minor scale. because it is easier
to sing than the harmonic. The latter
has an augmented second between the
sixth and seventh degree, and this is
difficult to sing until one has acquired
a certain degree of proficiency. The
harmonic minor scale is more used in
instrumental than in vocal music.

Bloodhounds were first known as
sleuthhounds owing to their ability
to track the deer, wild boar or the

broke away and was lost, these good
nosed dogs were used In trailing the
quarry by the blood trail, and hence
they were finally called bloodhounds.

WHILE it is fact that the Republi-
cans are strong in New Jersey it must
not for moment be thought that
the election of United States Senators
and Congressman by that party is 60
ing to be permitted by the Democrats
without strong opposition. Chairman
Mcdonald, Of the latter party, has sent
out a strong appeal to the Democrats
to get busy. He knows that there is
dissension in his ranks and he wants it
ended and desires all to get together
This uneasiness is not confined to the
state chairman but it seems to have
reached the national capital as it is re-
ported that the President is consider
ing the advisability or necessity of
coming to New Jersey to aid his party
in its present campaign. The grave
necessity" for choosing representatives
at Washington who may be relied
upon to do the peoples will'' in the
situation to follow to the end of the
war, is pointed out, but it looks as if
one of the great desires is to elect
Democratic representation that will
''stand by the administration. The
correspondent of Philadelphia paper
who gives weekly views aon the polit-
ical situation says: ''In these circum-
stances, then, IL is easy to see that
Wilson will need the strong indorse.
ment Of his home State in the election.
The rallying cry OF win the war will be
replaced with one of stand by the man
who made victory certain. In such
case the people will be given full op-
portunity Of passing judgment upon
those who have served in Congress and
those who aspire to seats there, and to
determine where their confidence shall
be reposed. Many grave problems will
arise in the processes of readjustment,
and no man who is under suspicion OF
weakening when the peoples interests
are at stake will be able to command
that confidence. The President will
have need for all the loyal aid he can
muster and will undoubtedly look to
the voters of his home State to rally to
his support in the crisis. The Presi-
dent has not had any reason to COM
plain Of lack of support on the part OF
Republican representatives, as many
OF the measures he advocated would
never have been carried had it not been
for the aid Of the Republicans. One
man has said that the only reason
those OF that faith acted as they did
was Ito save their faces. This will
not apply to the Republican Senators
and Congressman from this state.
They are not in position to do any
thing to save their face with their con-
stitutuents. Their acts have been
purely loyal to the President and their
reelection does not hinge on anything
they have done in that line. OF the II
representatives from New Jersey nine
are Republicans, yet. Notwithstanding
they have stood by the nations CHIEF.
1t is reported that he will come to this
state and try to.change the political
complexion OF our representatives.

efforts must be made to prevent Re
