This Man All Ups and Downs.

J. B. Evans is one of the men who has a distinctive job in the United States, no other man having a similar job, or at least not-exactly similar. He Is the man that runs the elevator In the Washington monument, and he has been sliding up and down that white shaft for 42 years, an exchange states. If one estimates in miles the number of feet he has risen and fallen again, one could find that similar distance would run three times around the world.
 In addition to this the number of men and women from every part of the world who have been carried up by him would populate New York city. and their numbers have included every so- cial condition known to man, from rul- Ing powers to paupers, and from Af- .ican savages to scientists from the worlds universities.

Rat hepea

From Paris comes the news that the authorities are making war on rats. But the despised rat once did tir French good turn, according to Colonel Repington's history of the war He says: ''On the parapets of the front trenches are what look like window flower boxes. They contain chemical materials for making smoke screen to lift the German gas when it comes. All the rats h the trenches congregate round these smoke bones when the gas comes, as they realize that they save themselves from suffo- cation. This process of lifting the German poison gas was discovered quite by chance. During a gas at tack some straw was set on fire by ac- cident and forced the German smoke up. The rats came in swarms to squat round the burning straw and gave the French the hint"

 The Moro Is not all bad. He has his good points. There has never been case where a Moro has murdered an American woman, and there are many American women in Moroland. This abstinence, however. is not due to Moro chivalry, but to the fact that in the Moro thought women have no souls.
 Not that the believed soullessness of the sex keeps the Moro from be- ing ladies' man. In fact, he is in- clined to be very gallant. The fa- nous visit of the Taft party, ac- companied by the then Miss Alice Roosevelt. some years ago (and long to be remembered in the Phil- ippines), was attended by a char acteristic exhibition of Moro gal lantry. When this party visited Jolo-no trip to the islands would be complete without visiting this picturesque island-his royal high ness, the sultan of Sulu, immedi- ately offered his hand in marriage to the daughter of the President. He addressed her as the American princess, and the name of Princess Alice still clings to her in the Phil- ippines. The fact that his highness already had couple of dozen wives scattered around the town was no deterrent in case of a Mohsmmedan monarch.

WN YXeW ent and child. : WNN0y~ From Virginia . ~ came most of the settlers of the western state, and with them these pioneers brought Virginia institutions and ideals. It was not until 1750 that the first authentic journey was made by a white man into central parts of the region afterwards called Ken 
 lucky.
 Further explorations showed that this territory held two im-
 portant attractions for settlers.
 The first was the great fertility
 of what was called the Blue
 Grass region. The so-called
 blue grass, from which this
 state Is nicknamed the Blue
 Grass State" Is in no wise pe-
 culiar to Kentucky.
 The second inducement for
 settlers was the fact that there were no Indians living in this region. It was later found that many rowing bands of savages crossed the Ohio from the north and sorely harassed the early colonists until Clark's expedi- tions into Ohio and Indiana checked their invasions. In fact, the name Kentucky Is probably derived from the Iroquois word kentka-ke, meaning hunting land" Another interpretation Is "dark and bloody ground" but this Is doubtless incorrect.
 The main highways of travel at that time were Daniel Boone's wilderness Road" through Cumberland Gap and down the Ohio. Hardy pioneers poured into this new territory in such numbers that in 1792, with the permission of Virginia, Kentucky was admitted to the Union as the fifteenth state with an area of 40,59S square miles. Kentucky has thirteen electoral votes for president The re- markable physical condition of it's population is shown in a re- port of the volunteers in the Civil war.

Getting the Breaks

NISAkth ~
Both New York clubs are threat
ening the leaders.
They have been ever since the
season started. But here's a little
food for thought.
During the last month the Giants
and Yankees have been getting the
breaks. They have won a lot of
games by a one-run margin.
This indicates they have latent
power in their pitching.
On the other hand both the Cleve-
land Indians ar d the Pittsburgh Pr
rates have won their games by big
scores. The league leaders are bat
ting leaders. They have had fair
pitching. too, but they have dropped
most of their games by one and two
run margins.
1t is something to think about.
Teams that get the breaks and have
the steadiest pitching win low score
games. Strong batting teams can
slump easily.
The thing all goes back to which
you prefer for pennant winners
strong batting or good pitching.

Lanky George Kelly has fallen In
to the driftwood waters trying to
keep pace with Goliath Babe Ruth.
'But don't blame George entirely.
He does as he is told. Babe does
as he pleases.
There's a lot of difference in that
when 1t comes to facing smoke balls
every day.
The Babe gets his privileges be-
cause he is essentially a fence wreck
er. His homerunning has been com
mercialized by the Yankees. That's
what fans pay to e him do. Hence
he gets the whole rope.
George is as good a hitter as Babe.
But he isn't a home run attraction.
He is a cog in the Giant machine.
John McGraw. from his perch in the
dugout, pulls the strings which make
George lay 1t down, hit-and-run or
swing for himself.
II you can imagine Big BAN bunt-
ing when the turn in the game de-
mands it, go ahead and imagine 1t.
But 1t isn't done. That's all.
