REACHED END OF PATIENCE
Rookie Felt He Hadn't Enlisted In
Army to Be Made Permanent
Bird-Tender.

A western bishop, just back from
France, where he spent some time at
the front, tells the following anec-
dote as Illustrative of the fighting
spirit of the American soldier:
again and again, whenever his regi-
ment had any orders for activity, it
fell to the lot Of one 'Yank' TO take
charge of a crate of carrier pigeons for
one of the officers. Always the same
private was selected for the monot-
onous, unexciting task. 1t became
standing poke in the regiment and the
pigeon tender became more and more
disgruntled. At last, on the eve Of a
battle, he again received orders to
take charge of the pigeons. He could
contain himself no longer. With an
air Of absolute resolve he walked bold
~ torthe tent Of the commanding Off
Ger and very firmly placed the crate
of pigeons at the door, On the crate
was a note:
'Herel take your d. birds--I
am going to fight"

A GREAT DISCOVERY

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to dropsical condition, often caused by disordered kidneys. Naturally when the kidneys are, deranged the blood is filled with poisonous waste matter, which settles in the feet. ankles and wrists; or under the eyes in bag-like formations.
 As a remedy for those easily recog- nized symptoms of inflammation caused by uric acid-as scalding urine, backache and frequent .urina- tion, as well as sediment in the urine. or if uric acd the blood has caused rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, gout, it is simply wonderful how quickly An-u-ric acts; the pains and stiffness rapidly disappear, for Anuric, (dou- ble stpength), is many times more po- tent than lithia and often eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar.

ECHOES FROM THE PAST

Tom Savers and Aaron Jones
 fought over three hours to a draw on
 the Thames near Canvey Island, on
 Jan g, 1857, just sixty-one years ago
 today. This day was one of the cold est England had ever experienced, yet the two gladiators, stripped to the waist, battIed fiercely in the bitter weather for the greater part of the afternoon, and desisted only when darkness set in and both were so weak they could barely stand. It is remarkable that so many of the championship battles in England were, in former times, pulled off in mid winter, although ' matches were then always staged in the open coun- try. Neither Jones nor Savers were satisfied with the result, and they fought again in February when, after S5 rounds of slugging, Savers finally triumphed. By this victory Savers put himself in line for the champion

ANOTHER STORY
 ABOUT WADDELL

There was a discussion of the pler- its of Grover Cleveland Alexander in recent flaming bee in Chicago and naturally the talk brought up other stars of the past ano present and led to the question. Who was the great est pitcher of all time?" IA story of ten told by Bill Dineen. American league umpire and former pitcher for Boston and St Louis. helped in solv- ing the question. Dineen's story, sprung in the hot stove league, was about as follows:
 Back in 1904. the Boston team was in a hot ght for the pennant, the sea- son was nearly over. and we were booked in Philadelphia It was Rube Waddell's turn on the slab and we needed that game. Before leaving the hotel we Boston players conspired to get Rube's goat. Big La Chance was playing first base for us antd was the hushest man on our outfit. We de- cided to have La Chance lead Rube into a friendly wrestling kout before the game and perhaps tire him enough so We could beat him.
 During the batting practice RHDbe was nlnnS out aL ItrSI UaE5e ana La Chance started ioshing him about fishing and hunting. When an op- portunity presented itself La Chance would give Rube friendly shove or a slap on the back. One shove led to another a bit harder. and just when La Chance thought he har the big left handler worked uD to a. point o1 grapping, he was given the surprise of his life.
 yanked off his glove, grabbed La Chance with both hands, raised him clear up above his head and then dashed him to earth in heap.
 "Ia Chance was barely able to play first that day. and Ru5e shut us out with two hits"
