JOHNNY EVERs.

He broke into the major leagues
Just sixteen years ago,
And he has starred there ever since,
As averages will show.
He's battle-scarred and all Of that,
But still he's in demand;
For he is fun of baseball brains
And fine old Trojan sand.
AT second base ne was the king
OF players in his day:
His playing was a work Of art,
As baseball writer's say.
But though his whip has lost it's zip
And time has slowed him down.
The bugs are mighty strong for him
In every big league town.
Evers may lose his throwing arm
and his batting eye, but his chin will
go on forever.
The wild, wild minors are making
wild men out Of the club owners.
You may have a lot of tough luck.
but you can always be thankful that
you are not a minor league mag
nate.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
HARD ON H~INDENBURG.

Three months ago the news was spread that old Dad
Hindenburg was dead. He had a row with Kaiser Bill
concerning proper ways to kill the old, the helpless and
infirm; the kaiser's comments made him souirm: the blood
rushed to his old fat head, and Hindenburg fell over dead.
1t seems he wouldn't stay defunct, and Azrael was badly
bunked. A late dispatch tells how once more he and the
Kaiser ripped and swore, and called each other sons of
guns, and cheap john imitation Huns. Then Hindenburg,
with anger blind, threw down his sandbag and resigned.
de handed in his large brass knucks which cost some
fourteen German bucks, his ~slungshot and a pair of cats,
his razor and his rough on rats. Il jump my job!' he stern
ly cried; to save the country I have tried, but I've been
made an also ran by you and your Buttinski clan. | gave
you quite a hint" he said, that time when | fell over

Here is my spiked club! | ~resignlo What will this war
rior do next if by the kaiser he is vexed? Once he has died
and once resigned; what other stunts has he in mind?
Though now and then his work is coarse, he is a man of
great resource.

THE WIFE -

work, and how lonely she was without
him. He had also written often, bit
his notes told her nothing. He had not
mentioned Mollie King, neither had he
told of how his evenings were spent
Ruth consequently took it for granted
that part Of them at least had been
spent at home.
Her work had gone very satisfactory
ly. 1t had been an expensive job, and
she couldn't fail to be pleased at the
result. She had wired Brian that she
would reach New York at five-thirty.
He had told Rachel they would be at
home to dinner, then had ordered some
flowers.
"She likes them," he had muttered,
knowing he was salving his own 10
science rather than catering to her love
for the flowers.
He had gone to meet her. The
train was a little late, but Ruth, al
most the first one off, had spied him at
once, and with a glad little cry had
run to him.
'Oh, Brian!" size had said, snug
Cling to his side, chow good it is to be
home again. To be with you"
"It's time you came back he said
as he, kissed her again, 81 had almost
forgotten l had a wife"
Ruth looked sharply at him. Could
he be speaking the truth9 But no! no
was gazing at her with pride. Could
she have seen herself, she would not
have wondered. She had taken esreclvd
pains with her toilet and looked very
chic and young. Her eyes we're bright
with love-light. Her face Full of AMIR

her.

DIPLOMATIC UNITY.

Many editorial writers have pointed out that the
great desideratum of the allies now and henceforth is
diplomatic unity. They have got along pretty well with
a somewhat informal arrangement, whereby important
matters of negotiation by the common enemy were dis
cussed and answers agreed on by cable among the heads
of the various governments. But the time has come when
any informal or voluntary system of negotiation is in
adequate, and this is the reason for the inter-alled coun-
Gil now in session at Versailles.
The peace drive Of Germany and Austria has brought
this problem to a head. So far, the allied negotiations
with the enemy have been carried on safely. No final or
Hateful action has yet been taken. No lack of agreement in
allied ranks has appeared. But the real danger will soon
come, when the allies have set forth the conditions on
which they are willing to grant an armistice.
Germany begun her peace offensive no doubt in the
hope that ~pacifists might be encouraged to activity in the.
allied nations and in hope of creating d~issention. 1t has
not succeeded and every days developments indicate that
it will not succeed. The allies so far are apparently in
complete harmony and the kaiser is wavering on the
brink of surrender and abdication.

CHAPTER LXXIV.
Ruth was to be away still three more
days, Brian had spent every evening,
save the first one, with Mollie King
seven in all. He had been very con
tented, although sometimes when he
reached home late he would feel just a
bit conscience stricken. Then ne would
humble:
"She's having a good time staying
at expensive hotels, why should l stick
around this stuffy flat aloneF" That
the flat was anything but stuffy, he
knew, also that both the Roberts and
the Curtis would be delighted to see
him, Or to have him come in AMI play
cards.
The idea Of learning to do his own
tipping under Mollie's tutelage, appeal
ed to him. So, for the next three eve
nings, he appeared at the little studio
with several parcels under his arm.

All the federal war activities like food conservation,
fuel conservation, grain control, etc, seem to have been
placed in the hands Of republicans in Oregon by Herbert
Hoover, himself a republican. And President Wilson is
branded as a indicative partisan, even after heading
many of the most important war bureaus with promin-
et republicans. By the way, will some republican who
is advocating non-partisanship in wartime administra-
ton kindly give a list Of the democrats Withycombe,
touted as a "war" governor by his supporters, has made

Its surrender may take place at any time. On the west

this morning will be received with sincere regret by the
people of Marion county. He was a man of pleasing per-
sonality, a progressive citizen whose death is a distinct

which he achieved deserved recognition by being called
to public service by his fellow citizens. Always he was
faithful to the trust imposed in him, and leaves behind
him the record of a useful, w~ellspent life.
