SOMEBODY PASS THE APPLES
When every pool in Eden was a
mirror
That unto Eve her dainty charms
proclaimed,
She went undraped without a single
Thought that she had need to be
ashamed.
Twas only when she'd eaten of the
apple
That she became inclined to be a
prude,
And found that evermore she'd have
to grapple
With the much-debated problem
of the nude.
Thereafter she devoted her attention,
Her time and all her money to her
clothes,
And that was the beginning of Con
vent1On,
And Modesty, as well, | do suppose
Reactions come about in fashions
recent,
Now girls conceal so little from the
men,
1t would seem, in the name of all
that's decent,
Someone ought to pass the apples
round again.

be filed against the woman as soon
as possible This paper condemned
such an action as a rank injustice.
Mr.. McEvers .haG the wo-
man Will no be prosecuted for MUIR
der or any other charge and that the
"only inconvenience she has suffered
is to he required to testify at the
inquest" Good for Mr.. McEvers. We
are truly glad that Shoshone county
is not cursed with a prosecuting at
torney of the variety described in orr
former editorial as a ''damphool" who
sought rather to prosecute than to
administer justice.
To have tried this on a
charge of murder would have been
a rank injustice. 1t would have been
persecution, and we are glad to learn
hat the press dispatch
ment thai she would be charged with
murder was erroneous. We rather
think Mr.. McEvers was negligent in
not denying the report earlier in
stead of waiting until it had aroused
criticism. We r glad to learn that
this woman, who was certainly justi-
fled in killing the brute with whom
she lived, is not to be prosecuted for
her act and compliment Mr.. McEvers
on the good judgment shown in not
causing her arrest and prosecution.
Too many prosecuting attorneys
have believed, or pretended to
believe that it was their "sworn
duty" to put the county and state TO
expense and the woman to the
inconvenience and expense of a trial
to "vindicate justice"
Shoshone county is to be congratu-
.ated upon having a prosecuting at
.orney with a greater sense of Justice
md duty than have many men who
lold that responsible office.

FOR EACH SHIRT STOLEN.

One shirt is not worth spending
two months in Jail for.
Not even If 1t has diamond but
tons and fits like the paper on the
wall.
But that Is what Ernest wormack
will have to do. Worse than that,
Ernest will have to spend six
months in Jail on account Of three
shirts.
These shirts were valued at SO
each They belonged to a Seventh
street merchont, who had no idea
who had swiped them from him.
Had IL not been that Ernest was
engaged in attempting to commit
another crime he might still be out
OF jail. When arrested after an al
lesed attempt to get into another
store, he made the fool mistake of
telling the cops where he got the
shirt he had on.
Judge Mcmahon has no sympathy

wool professionals.
his honor was never yet hard on
person who was so unfortunate
as TO succumb for the first time 70

court to do but to hand him sjx

OF the Chicago Cubs.
Third base is one of the hard
est positions to play. The third
baseman must be a fast man and
have a good arm. The large,
rangy player is to be preferred
for the position because he can
reach farther and cover more
ground. But a man who is too
big may be too slow.
The third baseman should be a
shark" at picking up bunts. The
way to get ability in this line is
to practice.
Get Rid Of the Ball Quickly.
Have a pal knock out a few.
Grab them up as cleanly and
quickly as possible and get rid
of them to either FIRST or second
base with as much speed and
accuracy as you can attain.
Pick up the bunt in the most
natural position that will allow
you to swing around and throw
the ball to a baseman a second
after you receive It. Speed
counts at third.
interference Win the pltcher
in taking bunts should be avoid
ed. Territory for each man
should be mapped out. II a bunt
comes into the pitchers territory
he is the man to take it. II It
comes into the territory OF the
third bassman, then the third
baseman is the man.
sT've Got IT,
But should both men be going
after the same ball. the one who
sees he has the better chance OF
getting it should yell I've got
1t! and then get it
No player should ever claim
ball in this manner unless he is
positive he will get 1t. or at
least has the better chance to do
so.
Don't try to "grandstand" at
third base unless a spectacular
play is, the only thing that will
work. A "grandstand player"
usually doesn't stand high in the
opinion of a good manager or
coach.
