Threatening Rally


 When they made three more in the fifth and ran their sum total up to seven theYawners' union got busy and commenced to fisn in their respective pockets in quest of car fare.
 However, one had best not count his eggs before they are uncrated by nature, or one may be forced to dine only on canned chicken. This was evidenced by what them Lookouts done in the ninth. They had put across one in the fifth and they started off the ninth with the score standing S-3 again 'em. Hope springs eternal in the human mustard Nplaster sectors, however, and a Birmingham pitcher is liable to do anything as a novelty. Be- fore Tom Gallagher knew what was happening it had already done it, and the Lookouts had scored three runs on single cussedness by Fielder and Bratchi and 8 questionable three-bag ger by Niederkorn, which Kid Brandon almost spiked himself in the ear on, while trying to field, to say nothing of a spotless single by Wingfield. Then when Graham batted in the pinch for Noel and was walked with one al- ready on the tying runs were on base. Ralphr Croll, however, who had al- ready got couple of hits, was un- equal to the task, and he popped to Clarke for the third out and the end of the game.

ver," she promised. "Watch patient
ly and he will come"
When Daddy heard the news Of Il
stranger among them, he FASTENED
down to greet him. At the first glance
the newcomer seemed so tiny and
odd-looking that Daddy was rather
disappointed. Strangest of all, he had
four leaves instead of three. But
when he saw what a smile Tour
leaf had, he liked him very much and
gave him a cordial welcome.
Not so with the clover children.
They whispered and laughed among
themselves at the queer dress. OF
course this made Four-leaf very un-
comfortable, and he pretended not to
hear. Pretty soon, however, when
they saw how glad he was to help
them look their best and never tried
to be admired himself, they became
more friendly. Four-leaf was just
bubbling over with jolly tales and
soon had them waving over in laugh
ter.
Then the honey bees who liked a
good time came over to share in the
fun, and the patch grew livelier every
day.
When Four-leaf saw how much they
had changed for the better, he knew
his work in the patch was over and
called all the Glover Children to him.
Il must leave you all soon," he said,
'and before I go l will tell you
secret. AS long as you love one an
other you will be beautiful. Anyone
who is cross and bad tempered will
soon grow ugly"
I'VE will remember, Four-leaf," they
promised him, and waved their pretty
heads in farewell as little girl with
a cry Of delight stopped and picked
him up.

lawful, AwFuLLY."

LEW words that 60 to make up the
II long list Of abused terms in com
mon usage Of English are employed
so frequently, and so enormously. as
the two cited. Everything is "awful,
as in the following example: "Do you
like that cake?" one asks Of the school
boy. "Yes," he replies, "It's awful
good" And not alone school boys
and school girls, but grown men
and women, fall into this error. OF
course the word to be substituted for
awful. or lawfully" is ''very."
The adjective lawful" and the adj
verb "awfully." are derived from the
word ave-" which means "fear or
dread, mingled with reverence and ven-
Grafton" The words awful and saw
fully" have their proper place in the
language, but 1t Is not that Of SUBJ
stitute for "very."
Very is what is known as an inten-

VIRGINIA
By MILDRED MARSHAL

THE real origin of Virginia is Gu
i rious and somewhat unexpected.
1t means "fiourishingr and comes from
an old Latin gems who called them
selves Verginius. Their name was de-
rived in turn from vireo, meaning to
flourish, and was connected to the
word 'ver," translated as spring. Vir-
ginio was the name of the far-famed
Orsini family.
The more popular and prevalent be-
lief regarding the origin of Virginia
has always been that she came from
the Latin virgo, meaning "a virgin"
Indeed, the first instance Of her use
in England was in the time Of Queen
Elizabeth when Sir Walter Raleigh.
named his American colony Virginia
In honor Of the Virgin Queen.
1t was under q similar belief that
Bernadin de st. Pierre called the hero
inc OF his tropical Arcadian romance,
virginie. The widespread popularity
of this story in England, France and
Germany brought Virginia into enor-
nous vogue throughout Europe.
France still adores her virginie, and
her popularity in England is assured
forever out of sentimental memory of
the famous queen.
The first American colony estab-
lished the name in this country. Like
wise the first white child born on
American soil. and named Virginia
Dare did much to spread It's vogue.
The South has always abounded In
virginias, which, unfortunately has
been contracted to unmusical "Virgies"
and "Jinnys."
The emerald Is Virginia's tails
manic stone. 1t promises her wisdom,
prophetic vision, long youth, and
charm. The hawthorne bud, England's
spring flower, is Virginia's flower.
Wednesday is her lucky day and 8
her lucky number.

ed method then 1t will take much to
make them believe that he has any
claim to good breeding. This may be
unfair, but it is true. Here are some
of the things that convention requires
us to remember in our manners at the
table:
The salad is cut with the side of the
fork and then eaten from the side of
the fork.
Fish, soft entrees and, in fact, any
thing that does not absolutely demand
the use Of knife, are separated into
small pieces by the use Of the fork,
which is most excellent, as the knife at
its best is most ungainly utensil.
That you should never mash your
food with your fork and never sit with
your fork or knife appraised. like tele-
graph pole.
That when not in use, either knife or
fork must be laid on the plate at one
side.
Never tilt your fork and knife on
the sides Of your plate, that is, with
the handle on the tablecloth on either
side and the tips on the edge of the
plate.
That every time course is removed
you should lay the knife, fork or spoon
used in eating it on the side of the
plate.
Do not cross knife and fork on the
plate, but lay them side by side.
In eating soup, custard, fruit, or any
dish which demands a spoon, be sure
you sip the food noiselessly from the
side of the spoon, never from the tip.
Never dip your individual fork OF
spoon into dish that Is passed to you.
but always employ the fork or spoon
which will be found on the tray beside
the dish, or on the dish itself.
ALI sorts Of small relishes, ike rad.
ishes, olives, salted nuts and bon-bons,
are eaten from the fingers, but this
must be done very daintfly.

Urges Cooperation
OF U. S. and Europe
Believes in Destiny of Land
He Is to Visit; No Pardon
for Germans Who De-
stroyed His Family Relics

PARIS, April 7.-Prince Albert of
Monaco who will sail Saturday for
New York on his way to Washington
to receive the Alexander Agassiz gold
medal, awarded him in recognition of
his scientific marine researches, in
speaking to-day of the journey said
he had come to believe profoundly in
the strength and destiny of the United
States and in the necessity Of cooper
alton between that country and Europe.
Prince Albert's first act in Wash
ington will be to pay his respects to
President Harding. He is taking with
him to the United States his aid, Com
mandant Bourree, and his physician,
DR.. Louet, both of the French army, as
signed to him by the War Minister.
The health Of the prince is uncertain,
as he is recovering from an attack of
the grippe, with complications, and he
had feared he would have to forego the
trip.
Speaking of the condition in which
the Germans had left his chateau at
Marchais, Prince Albert said:
"They plundered the place Of every
thing of value, and when they left they
had prepared to reduce the castle to
dust by blowing it up with nine mines.
General Mangin arrived day before
he was expected, and the German staff
occupying the place got out hastily with
out time to complete the ARRANGEMENTS

jects of art for the purpose of putting
them in German museums. Fortu-
nately, have been able to recover most
Of them, especially some old tapestries.
"All the art objects had been labeled
as to where they came from and were
warehoused in Valenciennes and Brus-
sells. The Germans evacuated these
places in such haste that they could
not take them away. However, all my
dearest personal things were destroyed.
An eyewitness has related to me how
the Germans took portraits of my
father and mother and various other
personal things, including locks of the
hair of my father and mother, and
burned them all in the courtyard of
the chateau"
Prince Albert spoke without bitter
ness, but added: ~ cannot forgive them
for that"
