TOOK TOE FOR TARANTULA.

The most lurid Of the Mexican
war correspondence cannot hold a
searchlight to the man who tells
this one in the Potter Kansan:
"Some one had told him about the
tarantulas and centipedes, and ever
thereafter he was greatly worried.
Awakening one bright moonlight
night and noticing what he sup
posed was bunch Of terrible taran-
tulas ,perched on the footboard Of
his bed, he grabbed his gun, took
deliberate aim and fired.
"a shrek, a leap from the bed
and blood trickling from his foot
told what had happened. He had
mistaken his own toes for taran-
tula family and had blown one of
them to atoms.
"The worst part Of it was, it did
not happen to the one that had the
corn on it-'-A AlttlLan Constitution.

President Wilson's letter to NJ. Fly
mans follows:
II have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your cabled message
setting forth the resolution adopted
by the assembly of the League of Ma
tions, requesting the council of the
league to arrive at an understanding
with the governments with the view
to intrusting a power with the task
of taking the necessary measures to
stop the hostilities in Armenia.
You offered to the United States
the opportunity of undertaking the
humanitarian task of using it's good
offices to end the present tragedy be-
ing enacted in Armenia, and you as
sure me that your proposal involves
no repetition of the invitation to ac-
cept mandate for Armenia.
while the invitation to accept the
mandate for Armenia has been reject
ed by the senate of the United States,
this country has repeatedly declared
its solicitude for the fate and welfare
of the Armenian people in manner
and to an extent that justi1es you in
saying that the fate of Armenia has
always been of special interest to the
American people.

that which should have been your right
a long time ago. That representation is
a travesty.

Wadsworth is a reactionary His birth
and training and his whole political
career have tended to make him the

all players in the major leagues are not
to be judged by the actions of those who
have been indicted in the recent baseball
scandal, Christy Mathewson, famous
pitcher of the Giants, and former man.
ager of the Cincinnati Reds. has sent out
an appeal from his sick bed to the fans
and lovers of baseball to remember 1t is
not the majority which is represented
among the guilty. His plea> was made
public Saturday afternoon by his wife
because OF the strict orders of his physi-
clans prohibiting any person from visit
ing him.
Following closely newspaper accounts.
Matty has shown deep interest in the
proceedings and has expressed regret
over his inability to take an active part
in keeping the sport clean from bribery.
He has utter contempt for the player
who will sell himself for a paltry sum
in order to betray his teammates and
club. and in referring to those who had
admitted them part in the scandal he
has called them the "shipyard gang" as
they entered the shipyards throughout
the country. it is said, when the Govern
ment order of either Fight or work.
was put into effect during the world
war.
Matty ,deplores the actions of those
who have allowed themselves to be
dragged into the mire of disgrace and
who have dealt a damaging blow at
the national pastime. He feels, how
ever, as 1t is a small minority which is
concerned the public will realize the
majority of players are working for the
betterment of the game and will not
lower themselves to betray their fellow
players and their clubs
Although Matty is in a serious condj
ton at the present time, suffering from
tuberculosis. he is not considered to be
in critical state. With two of the best
specialists in Saranac Lake attending
him, and his wife acting as his nurse
he is receiving the best of care and
medical attention. Since his arrival In
Saranac Lake last July. he has not
gained in weight. but has managed to
hold his own and Is putting up a game
fight for his health. AT one time Matty
was improving, but he suffered relapse
and now has virtually to start anew.
