Long Route for the Vets.

One newspaper correspondent de-
clares or predicts that Tom Marshall
will be the democratic candidate and
will run on a platform of leaving to
the individual states the manufacture
of beer and light wines. But there
isn't much comfort in this thought
for the thirsty. 1t is a long way to
Tipperary if you go this route.
Roughly speaking it is 267 miles
TO the place where Tom Marshall
gets the nomination.
1t is 1913 miles to such a plank in
the democratic platform
1t is 1882 miles to the election
of the democrat ticket on such a
platform.
1t is 14,222 miles to the point
where SO state legislatures would
aye to repeal the beer and wine pro-
vision Of the 18th amendment to
the constitution, such repeal being
necessary to the submission of tho
beer and wine proposition to the in
Gividual states.
1t is 147 miles to the place where
the supreme court would render its
decision on the constitutionality OF
the repeal legislation.
1t is $40 miles to the state lvgisla-
lion necessary to permit the manu-
facture of wine and beer
This is total distance of 1886
miles, and it is certainty that any
body who is dry would be dead be-
fore the distance could be made ,

Triple PLAYS Hard to Make.

Fulton, Mo.-Triple plays are hard
to make in baseball game AMI they
are a rare occurrence during the
playing season but one was pulled
off in game between the st. Marys
college of St. Marys, Kan, aud the
Chilocco Indians that will go down
in the annals of the national sport as
one Of the most spectacular plays
staged on a ball field. The team in
the field did not touch the ball after
it left the hands of the pitcher. A
st. Marys batter hit the ball high in
TO the air toward short with the
bases loaded and was declared out
rs it was an infield fly. The wind car
ried the sphere toward second as it
decended and it hit the runner there
who was called out for being hit by
a batted ball. The leather then rolled
toward first and the runner there,
disguised at the luck of his team
mates, threw the sphere out of the
bark and was promptly called out by
the umpire.

When Man PLAYS Chicken.

Take chicken, either a hen or a
rooster, force its beak down to the
floor and then while the bird is in
this position, draw a chalk line from
the end of its beak, extending for
ward some two feet or more and the
chicken. so the poultry experts tell
us, will remain it its position, under
the impression that the chalk mark
is string by which its head is tied
TO the floor. Take a human animal,
a man or boy, not woman or girl,
get him down on the grassy bank of
3 stream, one of these bright warm
summer days, put a fishing rod and
line in his hand and he will sit there
indefinitely under the impression that
he is going to catch fish.

rCrth OF Cresco was sold at auction
June 22d for s64.5O per acre to Phil

The sale drew a large crowd and
there Was a bunch of prospective
bidders, still it is generally agreed

is considerable rough land, but there
is enough work land and good set
CT buildings which makes it a bar
gain for the new owners.-Cresco
