Vardaman's vim, vigor, vitality

Victorious Vardaman had the old
agate hopping and jumping like
famished fleas on a milk-fed pup.

zled and perplexed as a Persian pus-
sy in pen of paste. Mason connect

Leblanc broke into the hit column
by virtue of a Castor and Alphonse"
act staged by three Of the Brookha-
ven players on LeBlanc's high pop
that dropped between Weeks and
Untz.
And in the meantime the Brook
haven wrecking crew unloosed on
Vogel. Untz tore off a pair of clouts
-one for two bags and one for three
and each time Eos, who always
was poison to Vogel, brought Untz
home with sacrifice fly The third
score was registered by Viking Var
daman himself on his single to right

Snyder, second-baseman for Nc
Comb, did full weeks work around
the middle station, taking full charge
Of nine opportunities, seven on the
ground and two in the air. Eckardt
drew a hearty hand from the grand
stand when he raced in on Banville's
Texas Lacquer and slipped a thin
edge of his glove under it as 1t was
sinking swiftly in the dust.
The splendid reception given the
Brookhaven players and fans by
the McComb people, and the utter
lack Of any sort of unsportsmanlike
remarks, was the most pleasing fea-
ture since the baseball season OPEN
ed. It was so delightfully."- refresh
ing that it is sincerely hoped that
all games henceforth in all the cities
round about will be featured by the
same goodwill and friendliness.

HEN MATCHES EGGS IN TREE
Drives sparrows From Nest and
Takes Possession for Her
Own Brood.

Springfield, Mo.-A bantam hen
that evidently has high ideas and
ideals regarding life, and who recent
" has felt the urge to assist in the
population of the earth, is nesting In
a tree in the deer pen of Phelps
Grove park.
In establishing her home where she
Is at present busy incubating her eggs,
she dispossessed pair of sparrows
who had carried about half a bale of
hay into the tree with the intention
of making a domicile for their pro-
spective children.
The superintendent of the park win
probably have to haul the chicks out
Of the tree when they arrive.
The sparrows built again, but un-
der their original home, and the tree
contains a sort of double-decked domi-
cile inhabited by both the hen and
the birds.

BROUGHT FAME AND WEALTH
Whitney's Invention Of the Cotton ola
Came About Under Somewhat
Peculiar Circumstances.

In the fall of 1892, the year Of his
graduation from Yale college, Eli
Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin,
who was born in Westboro, Mass. In
1765, was engaged as a private tutor
In a family In Georgia. On his way
there he met Mrs. Greene, who was
returning to Savannah from a visit
North. On reaching Georgia he found
that, despite his engagement, another
tutor had been given his place, and he
was stranded, practically penniless.
Mrs. Greene invited the young man to
her home until he could find some
thing to do.
Shortly after Whitney's arrival a
party Of gentlemen from Augusta, in
the upper country, who had been off,
GERS In the Revolution under General
Greene, were visiting there. The con-
versation turned on the depressed
state Of agriculture In the South.
Long-staple cotton had been intro
duced successfully in sea islands, but
could not be grown inland. Short
staple cotton would grow inland, but
was improbable, as there was no
practical means of separating the cot
ton from the seed. The separation by
hand of one pound Of staple was .
days work for one woman.
During the conversation Mrs.
Greene told the visitors that Mr..
Whitney could invent their machine
for them. This incident turned Whit
ney's attention to the subject. He went
to Savannah. obtained small parcel
Of raw cotton and set to work. With
the resources the plantation afforded
and such tools as he could contrive,
within a few weeks he had developed
the invention and produced his first
model of the cotton gin.
