SOFT COIN ROLLING
INTO RUTH'S POCKET

Babe Ruth, who has become king
of all baseball, has probably found
ways of making money without
effort than any man in the world.
Perhaps the best and easiest bit of
money that has come his way was a
contract given him by a New Haven
gun store to stand in front of it's win
dows from IL to l p. m. one day
next week while an exhibition game
by the Giants is being played there.
He will receive $500 for the hour.
Ruth is also going to Havana to
take part in ten baseball games there.
He will receive all expenses and ST.
600 for each game. Ruth is also the
only man in baseball with a person

Don't postpone life
We spend so much time and energy
getting ready to enjoy ourselves that
we never enjoy ourselves.
We are like the boy taking a run
ming jump, who ran SO far that he
couldn't jump.
We are the misers who collect gold
SO that they may enjoy themselves
at fifty and die at forty-nine.
/ do not mean that Eat drink and
be merry, for tomorrow we die" l
do not mean to be s~pendthrifts, prod
igals, MASTERS and sensualists. l have
no use for the philosophy Of Omar
Khayyam and think his theory Of life
no better than that of a Clark street
bum, much as / admire his poetry
when dressed In Fitzgerald's fancy. I
believe that guilty dudes and fringed
courtesans that live for to-day In the
sense of crowding all the physical
pleasures possible into 1t miss entire
ly the good of living.
But what l do mean Is that a man
ought to get the satisfaction Of living
into every day. Every day should be
full orbed. 1t should carry with 1t
a piece of its own heaven.
When a man goes to bed at night
he ought to be able to look back over
the time he spent since rising and
view his day As a completed thing,
worth while in itself.
With too many Of US to-day is al
ways a fevered compromise. a make
shift, something to be forgotten as
quickly as possible.
We float from tomorrow till to-
morrow, with little Joy, but a sort of
reaching Joy. a Joy in expectancy. All
our real good seems future. OF the
past we're glad it's past and done.
The present we try to get rid of and
over with as quickly as we can.
II we know the art of living, the
present is always tolerable. Only the
weak are tragic. You can always
find something in the present situa-
ton that can minister to happiness.
Only you must be skillful, and know
how to discover it. Defeat is child

DRAMATIC

IT eHueu Uny WICH CHe ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I Cne ma
result. The Republican convention with its fight over con-
tested delegates was one of the bitterest in the history of the
country. One excited leader declared that if a personal COLI
sion should occur on the floor a hundred men would be killed
before order could be restored. He was so confident of this
carnage that he refused to allow his wife to attend the conven-
ton the first day. The event was much less exciting than that.
In fact, nobody so much as slapped anybody else's face; but the
contests were hotly contested and Taft won over two hundred
of them while Roosevelt won about nineteen. Then Mr.. Roos-
tween the "peepul' and the corrupt politicians. Came then the
Bull Moose meeting in Chicago with its Marathon cheers, its
complete harmony, and its crusading spirit, married only by the
question in some minds as to just how and why Mr.. La Toilette
had been ditched.
The Democratic convention in Baltimore was hardly less
exciting, and here again the reason was that intense and con-
ficting personal interests were involved. Everyone saw that a
Democratic nomination was very likely to amount to an election.
Both Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Clark had supporters who were ready
to yell and vote to the last for their heroes. The situation be-
came truly dramatic as Clark forced his way slowly to within a
few votes of the coveter goal, and then slowly fell away again
until the charge of the Illinois delegation, under Roger Sulli-
van, settled the battle in favor of the New Jersey professor.
WEST AND EAST
The three-cornered vote of 1912 shed some interesting
light on the political complexion of various sections of the coun-
try. It showed that the widest cleavage in America is that be-
tween the west and the northwest. 1t was the west that voted
for Roosevelt, that marched to Armageddon singing hymns
that, in a word, took seriously to itself the hope of a rejuvena-
reform. 1t was the northeast which stood fast behind Mr.. Taft,
unaffected by the winds of chance and change. It was the
solid south that elected Woodrow Wilson, solely because he was
a Democrat It was no more carried away by the moral fervor
of the occasion than was the northeast. In a word, this vote
demonstrated what has become vastly more apparent since
then, that the west is the true home of liberalism and radicalsm
in America. The west has natural resources and it wants them
conserved. The east wants the status quo. The east has mon
ey massed in private ownership and wants to keep it there. The
fact that the south is Democratic by habit and the north Repub-
lican for the same reason has lost its significance. The section
al line of political cleavage in the United States, so far as there
is one, has turned at right angles and now approximately COIN
cides with the Mississippi river.

Female Trees.

After nearly twenty-five years of ar
gument and discussion about the
abatement of the cotton nuisance,
the city commission of Albuquerque,
New Mexico, has ordered the cutting
down of all female or cotton-bearing
cottonwood trees within the city
limits.
A large proportion of the shade
trees of many western cities are cot
tonwoods, writes Aldo Leopold in the
American Forestry Magazine of Wash
ington. The individual trees are Of
two sexes and the female trees bear
annually a most prolific crop of cot
ton, which acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to sufferers from hay fever, and
which during the months of June and
July filters the streets, screen doors
and plastering with unsightly masses
Of soiled cotton.

EVEN JEFFERSON COULD ERR
Great Statesman on Record as HAVING
Pulled "Boner" in Matter of
Natural History.

It is related that when Thomas
Jefferson journeyed from Monticello
to Philadelphia, on his way to take
the oath Of office as vice-president, he
carried a lot of bones in his baggage.
The bones, alleged to be those Of a
mammoth, had been found in Green
brier county, Va, and sent to Month
cello, where they were set up by JEFF
ferson, who, it appears, entertained
a somewhat exaggerated notion Of his
attainments in natural history, and
who stood sponsor for the bones as
those of "a carnivorous-clawed animal
entirely unknown to science"
It was not until after Jefferson
reached Philadelphia that he was I'M
deceived, for at a glance the learned
DR.. Wistar saw that they were the
bones of the common sloth, several
specimens of which he showed the
Virginian.
1t has been pointed out that, indi-
rectly, no less a naturalist than the
great Button may have been respon-
sible for Jefferson's error. 1t was the
Virginian's practice to send Button
specimens and information, and with
the subtle flattery of a courtier the
French naturalist wrote:
II should have consulted you, sir,
before publishing my natural history,
and then I should have been sure Of
the facts"

Romance of Childhood.

The little boy who hunts Indians is
every little boy in America. Along
the alley warpaths Of the congested
city and out on the rolling prairies
of the back pasture the relentless
pursuit goes on day after day. Each
night millions Of little hearts are up
lifted in thanksgiving that the red
skinned savages Turk about the world
to be hunted. An occasional green
apple nightmare in which the hunter
is scalped and tied to the stake only
serves to enhance the thrill Of fol-
lowing the trail next afternoon as
soon as school is out.
The eye Of the six-year-old which
makes a piece Of barrel hoop look
like a tomahawk is the romantic
spirit. The form Of this spirit Of ro,
nance persists beyond the allotetl
three score and ten. Because Of y:
no theater is fittingly equipped unles,I
it has sundry coats of mail and back
dror castles.

GAMBLED WITH GRIM DEATH
Adventures Who Sought Wealth In
the klondike Left a CHASTITY
Trait of Tragedies.

The old overland journey from Ed
monitor, Alta, to the Klondike was q
trail of tragedies. A weather-beaten
skeleton Of an old wagon of the prairie

rugged Lizard river country. On a
piece of tattered canvas that once had
been the wagon cover, printed in black
paint in letters a foot high half eff

Many stories are told by old-timers

Element and is centering its energies
on the fur trade and general merchan-

rises on the site of this ancient en-
porium in the heart Of Edmonton.
Turning their faces toward the Yu-
kon, the gold seekers struck out on a
perilous journey of 1000 miles across
an untracked wilderness of forests,
muskegs, mountains and mighty riv-

only a few ever reached their desti-
nation. Many turned back disheart-

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Stop Ealing Meat for a While II
Your Bladder Is Troubling
You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region 1t
generally means you have been eating
too much meat, says a well-known au-
thority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter 1t from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells /;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels
often get sore, water scalds and you
r obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the urine 30 it no
longer initiates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
lnjure and makes a delightful, effer-
Nescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.

Omens of Good Luck.

1t has been explained that we need
to be prepared for bad luck, but that

All the same, it would certainly

eral if lucky omens were more widely
known, a y a writer in London Tit.

to us if we have reason to hope that
something good is coming to us!
Everybody, of course, knows that
it is lucky to pick up a bit Of iron or

its head is toward you; if not, let it

1t Is a sign of good fortune to put

ment is allowed to remain reversed

queror put on his mail shirt back to
front on the morning Of the battle
Of Hastings, and we all know what
luck he had on that occasion.
If you find your keys or other steel
articles rusting, do not be annoyed
about it; it only shows that somebody
is putting money by for you.
1t is luck to be followed home by
a stray dog. Still better is it if a
strange cat comes to stay at the house.
Speaking of cats, pessimists, of
course, assert that when it tears the
furniture with its claws it is a sign
Of rain; but others hold that she Is
