Jake Daubert, two years batting leader of the National league, and now starring for the Cincinnati Reds, re- calls an incident that happened the first year he broke into baseball. Born at ShamOkin, Pa, he worked in the coal mines, and finally got a chance TO play with the PottStown (Pa.) club in the state league. This was during the 1902 strike.
 He had a trial and famed ten Sha- mokin batters the first game, being a pitcher in those days. He was but sixteen years of age.

PRINCE SHES AT ALTAR: BRITISH YOUTH IS SLOW
 IN MATRIMONIAL CHOICE

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The return of ern tour and the fact that he has just entered his twnety ninth year have set England wondering about the ques- tion of his future wife.
 The paucity of acceptable candidates and the apparent lack of enthusiasm the Prince of Wales is showing for these few eligibles have given rise to hints that the royal heir is shying from the tie that binds.
 The arrival incognito of the Italian Princess Yolanda, coinciding with the return of the Prince of Wales from his tour, caused some speculation, but this is not taken seriously, because the Ital- ian royal family is Catholic, whereas English sovereigns must be Protes- tants.
 Princess Yolanda could forsWear her Catholicism as the present queen of Spain did when she married Alfonso, but it is doubtful whether such a step would be popular in England.
 There is no question that England and probably the entire empire is most eager that the heir to the throne take a wife soon. It is considered cer tain that he will be matched within the next few months, as he is already considerably beyond the usual age at which the heir to the throne is married.
 The general desire is that the prince marry an English woman. But few English princesses are eligible. The continued presence of Lady Mary mbridge-Queen Mary's niece-in the royal circle leads to the conviction that she is destined to be the wife of one of the royal princes, but hardly the Prince of Wales, as the Cam bridges are comparatively poor. It is doubtful whether she would even be a fair match for the Duke of York.
 It is generally understood that Lady Rachel Cavendish, daughter of the multimillionaire Duke of Devonshire, is the leading favorite. But there are whispers that the prince does not en- tirely approve of the idea This i'm pression is due to the fact that occa- sionally apparently inspired para graphs appear in the British press to the effect that it is inadvisable to hurry the prince in his choice of a wife, and that he must be allowed to rest and look around. Hence, it is be- lieved the royal heir is not enthus- iastic about "ready-made bride"
 There are score of eligihk daugh- ters of the wealthiest noblemen, but apparently the young prince is not in love with any of them. It may be that he favors some girl who does not have such large dover. This might lead to endorsements in view of the growing democratic sentiment which is . opposed to saddling the country with the heavy expense of poor sovereign.

THEY "FiT" ALL OVER

Senator Hale, of Maine, was mak- ing a tour of some of the battle fields of the Civil war and at one place found an old lady sitting in front of a modest home with large front and back yard. Politely doff- ing his hat, he said: "Aunty, did they do any fighting near your home during the Civil war;,
 Well, sir, should just say they did, she warmly replied. "They fit all over my front yard and they fit all over my back yard, and they completely ruined brand new ash hopper for me. War sure is horrible, ain't it?"

Rev. S. M. Engle, of Lake City, Fla,
former pastor of the Presbyterian
church in Oakland, spent Friday af
ternoon and part of Saturday here
with his Pensioners of several years
ago, when he was the guest of a
number of friends during his short
stay. He left here Saturday after
noon for Keyser, West Va, where he
preached in the Presbyterian church
Sunday morning and evening. Mr..
Engle and family have been residents
of Florida for the past three or more
years and had been to Charleston, W.
Va, where he had been attending the
meeting of the General Assembly.
Rev. David M. Funk, of Johnstown,
who was recently called to become
pastor of the Lutheran church in Oak
land, arrived here on Saturday ev-
ening last to take up his work per-
manently, he having served the local
church as a supply during the past
year as student of the Seminary at
Gettysburg, from which institution he
graduated on Thursday evening of last
week. He was one of the fifteen
members of his class. From this
time forward regular services will be
conducted by Rev. Funk in his church
here on Sabbath morning and even
ing.
Miss Helen Grimes, sister of Mrs.
George L. Sincell, of Keyser, was
nominated on the Republican ticket in
Pennsylvania at the recent primaries
for the State Legislature. The nomi-
nation practically assures the election
of the candidate since the district is
usually overwhelmingly Republican.
With the election of another woman
nominee from Philadelphia, Miss
Grimes will become the first woman
law maker of the Keystone State.
The Grimes family is well known in
this section of Maryland having many
relatives and family connections in
our sister county over in West Va,

Every summer for the past forty
years some members of the family

JEHOIAKIM TRIES TO DESTROY
GODS WORD
jeremiah SO
The word of our God shall stand for
ever.-Isaiah 4O:8 ,.,,,. ,,,..
WHEN THE GAG SLIPPED
If you would give voice a mega
phone fetter the feet. Debs never
had so great hearing as when in the
federal prison. Mooney would have
had no messages from Japan, Russia,
Europe and all the States if he had
not been the victim of an apparent
frame-up. The blood of a martyr
makes spot upon the sky where the
world looks. jeremiah suppressed
was all the more a menace to the
throne where unrighteousness ruled.
In spite of his acquittal by the court
his fierce invectives and predictions
of doom could no longer be spoken in
the open and the speaker lives. Jehoi-
AKIN was king by the choice of Egypt
and for eleven years his reactionary
policy kept the state in ever deepen
ing peril from Babylon. thine eyes
and thy heart are not but for thy
cOvetousness, and for shedding inno-
cent blood, and for oppression, and
for violence, to do it," was the Pro-
phet's Characterization of him. All
that his father, Josiah, had builded up
III respect for law and in purity of
worship was scattered to the winds
and policy instead Of principle became
the rule of the palace. International
agreements held only so long as the
other member seemed able to en-.
force the provisions and with such
mind as such man would normally
have there was frequent misjudging
of possibilities with consequent dis
aster. When the battle of Carchem-
ish had settled the question of world
rule and Jeremiah's word was still
more definite about the outcome of
the crazy-quilt national policy it was
no longer possible for him to speak
openly as he had done before. Feel
ing himself needed in the life of the
land of his love he dared not reck-
lessly risk his death but he would
dare anything to get the message
thru to the people who were being
guided by blind rulers to certain
overthrow. Repression made posi-
bic the writing which was impossible
in the swift conflict of speech. The
King was chuckling at how effect
lively he had gagged the hated agi-
tator whose voice had not been heard
for weeks. Yet all the while the pen
was busy and when the throngs
pressed in by the advancing forces of
Babylon were thickest and the King
had called for special exercises in the
Temple courts because of the i'm
pending danger the gag slipped and
all the hot heart of the Prophet was
poured out thru the lips of Baruch
the scribe.

Last Minute Confusion

TN certain households you can al

= OF last minute confusion. What
ever event is planned, whether II be
preparation for company. or pic

seashore, or a trip TO Europe, you
may be sure that as the time draws
nigh for the event 70 take place
there will be twice as many things
TO do as time permits easily. Every
thing will go along swimmingly, and
then the machinery of the house will
sputter and snort and refuse 10 run
at all just because it is being forced
TO do more than it is normally quail
fed to do. You have surely seen
just this sort Of thing happen.
One OF the best little cures for
this sore of last minute confusion is
a small note book and a pencil

TO be tucked in your handbag or in
an apron pocket. Well in advance

The oval painted table is usually

arrangement depends somewhat on
the number seated. There is usually
one long runner down the centre
with possibly two cross runners.
Then there are squares of filet lace
to make covers for diners IL there
are more than six present. The one
long runner and two short ones will
take care of six.
It is good rule to remember
that in smart usage at the present

summer resort.
Another way 10 help defray the
expenses OF your summer change is
not so arduous as IT sounds. A
woman with a large family has
found ii successful for several sea-
sons. She leases a large summer
cottage and then accommodates three
or four or five youthful boarders for
the summer months. She finds that
the extra work in the kitchen is not
great for these additional members
Of her family, and their board pays
! for the rent Of the cottage and quite

/ Another way TO help pay expenses
/ is to sub-let a room or two in your

season and then sub-letting ii for

taste have banished the tablecloth
entirely except for the informal fam
lily dinner, and use the painted table
instead.
To have n dinner table painted
lettuce green is smart.
To have that lettuce green painted
table oval is ultra smart.
Usually the painted table has q
border OF stencil-like decorations de-
fining the oval shape. Soft gray
mauve and even blue tables are
chosen by some instead Of the let
tuce green.
One dining room just redecor-
ated and declared an enormous sue
cess has the lettuce-green painted
table with the walls entirely hung
with sheets OF canvas painted TO
represent outdoor scenes.
The oval table is set directly In
the centre Of the room. The refec-
tory table, recently revived from the
tables used In old monastcries, or
the college refectories OF the great
English universities, are not re-
garded as suitable for the formal
dining room. II your establishment
amounts to a studio. then the less
formal refectory table is satisfac-
