 So the White Sox and Giants, picked by majority of the critics to repeat in their respective leagues this year. have a chance to break into a rather exclusive class of worlds series teams.
 While mentioning past performances of ball clubs it appears that the old St Louis Browns of Chris von Der Ahe established a record that will probably stand for many years to come The Browns won four straight pennants in the old American associa- tion.

Mosquito Was Cause of Odd Triple
 Play.

Signs are a great thing" says Harry. Smith, Cincinnati catcher.
 We had a managerial my ninor league-who had an elegant set of signs, and one was the order to steal a base, made by tapping himself on the forehead with the right hand
 One afternoon we had the bases full and none out in a most important game, when he gave the sign to steal.
 Nothing to do but obey, so every body stole with the bases full.
 "Of course, the cruel enemy rounded us up and made it a triple play. The manager was a maniac till we told him that he had ordered the triple steal and then he remembered that he had slapped a mosquito which lit upon his forehead"

Remedies for the Earache.

For an earache. dry heat is the saf-
est remedy. Never should the mother
drop oil or anything else into the ear
without being especially ordered to do
so by doctor. A small hot-water bag
with flannel cover. kid glove-finger
filled with salt and then heated In the
oven, or, simply. a flannel made very
hot and covered by another one to hold
in the heat, may be placed over the
baby's ear to relieve the pain. If this
does not seem enough, then a small
rubber ear-syringe may be filled with
hot water; and while the lobe Of the
ear is gently held downward and back
ward the mother should use the
syringe carefully. then apply the hG.
flannel after drying out the ear. When
pus has formed. or II this simple treat
ment does not relieve the acute pain.
II doctor should be asked to examine
the ear. Possibly the drum membrane
may need to be opened. Hot boric
acid solution or some other disinfect-
ant will be needed to syringe the
ear II pus is present.-Marianna

CANNOT MATCH THE BIBLE"
Stories In Sacred Volume Have Never
Been EquaIed, a Yale Pro-
fessor Says.

The bulk OF the people-business
men. lawyers, doctors and others don't
read the Bible, but writer's universally
recognize 1t as the greatest book, Prof.
William Lyon Phelps of Yale univer-
sity said In recent address.
"Being serious book 1t is weak in
humor." Professor Phelps said. But
I think Job intended grim joke when
he said: Would that mine adversary
had written II book
mo narrative writer's can match the
style Of the Bibles Old Testament
stOries-Hume. Gibbon, Rose-they are
all inferior. This is the day Of the
,hort-story writer, Kipling, De Maupas-
SAINT, o. Henry, but their best efforts
fall short of the stories of the Bible.
So 1t is with its poetry in the Psalms.
Its wisdom Of the Proverbs is Just as
up-to-date as the morning paper, and
there is no political economy equal to
the Book-of Gospels.
at is impossible to overestimate the
Bibles Influence on English literature.
Bunyan wrote a great book because
he was saturated with the Bible, and
II trickled out when he wrote.
'Lincoln knew only two books-the
Bible and Shakespeare, and yet he was

the Bible Is 10 be educated. One Of
the finest metaphors In Keats ode to
