 ITS A GOOD BET.


 That the resignation of George Gibson as manager of xhe Pirates will not mean the passing from the big show of this once brilliant catcher. The big league clubs are too sadly in need of capable advisers to their managers and even of man agers to allow Gibson to step down game.
 The real inside reasons for the resignation of Gibson aren't known but it is a good bet that Gibson did everything within human power to weld the Pirate team into a pennant- winning outfit.
 Gibson first won notice as a bali player with the Indian league around his natice city of London, Ont, in the late '90s. In 1903 the Buffalo club signed him.
 In 190' he was transferred to Mon treal. In 1905 the Firates purhased him and for the next eleven years he starred behind the plate for the moky City crew. He finally slowed up, however. and in 1916 asked for his unconditional release. The Pi- rates refused to grant this and order ed him to report to the Giants who had offered the waiver price for him. He refused for time to join the Gian He finally went with them as coach and extra catcher and served McGraw well until he asked to be re- leased in 1919 to manage the To- ronto team in the International League. He landed that club in sec ond place and then was signed to pilot the Pirates, succeeding Hugo Bezdek.
 The Pirates, under his leadership, finished fourth in 1920 and then last year made a bid for the penna.nt. They seemed destined to D it until after midseason when they lost their stride and were nosed out by the Giants. The team has not hit a steady gait this season.

Calling on a Girl

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 While at a party I was introduced to a young lady to whom I became greatly attached. Her brother asks me on the phone occasionally to call at the house. I do not know how l could arrange to make her under stand that I would like her com- pany as she is not allowed to go out What would you advise me to do?
 A. w. J. Accept the brothers invitations to call at his home. He is making a friendly advance to you. Be pa tient and visit the home and estab- fish yourself there a friend. When the girls parents learn to know you as a sincere and worthy man they twill undoubtedly be glad to permit their daughter to go about with you as an escort.

And if you make the most of your self and your abilities, you'll find that g. woman who hasn't the right loy- alty and devotion means very little to you. Perhaps you have antagonized her people by being so severe and in- clined to look for trouble.

Advice To The
 LOvelOrn
xKETCHEs FROM LIFE
By Beatrice Fairfax.

Who Occupies a Unique Position In the Writing World As An Authort-
 ity On the Problems of Girls
 Dollars Versus Love.
 Dear Miss Fairfax: Two years ago I fell in love with a young lady II years younger than the writer. After one year of courtship I proposed, and after a few days her answer was 'Yes.'' Her parents say I am too old for the girl. and do everything they can to insult me every time I call to see her; they also claim I have not enough money
 What I want to know is, should I give her up now or should I not? EARNEST.
 Go ahead and work hard. If the girl you love has any real devotion for you. she will not think of you in terms of dollars and cents. but as AEha man she, loves and believes in.

north of Dresden. while at work in his.
field last Thursday, noticed very
large hawk flying near the ground and
from the bird something appeared 10 be
hanging.
The hawk lit upon the ground and
Mr.. Boyd decided To investigate, and
found the hawk sitting quietly. When
the large and wild natured bird. which

% escape Mr.. Boyd struck the hawk
with stick. at which time a snake shot
its head from under fhe hawks wing
aud struck at him.
With another blow he killed the
snake. and on further examination il
was found that the snake had coiled
around the hawk.
IL is the opinion of Mr. Boyd that
the bird. while on the ground, was at
tackled by the reptile and in an effort TO
get away the hawk flew in the air with
the snake. flying until exhausted. The
snake measured six feet five and one
half inches.-Martin Press.

Champion Snake Story

Charlton, Iowa-What promises to
stand as the best snake story of the
season and of several seasons, is re-
ported by Earl Rouse, who killed a
rattlesnake on the Clarence Stocker
farm one day last week.
After killing the reptile Rouse cut
it open and was astonished to find
forty young unmatched snakes, still
in their eggs in their mothers body.
They were all about six and one-half
inches long and evidently would have
been Matched in a few days.
Satisfied that his account of the
killing would never be believed, Rouse
strung all of the snakes on a wire
for conclusive proof. The old snake
was about three feet long and was
apparently about 10 years old.

Tall Weeds Cause of Death


Sioux City,-Woodbury county bids
fair to have a suit for heavy dam
ages because of the tragic death of
DR.. Henry Evers, attributable to the
vigorous and unlawful growth of
weeds by the roadside. DR.. Evers
returned from Omaha, was about to
enter the precincts of Sioux City, and
he had reached a detour point, mark
ed by bridge of narrow type. An
other auto sped into his line of vision
and in an endeavor to avert meeting
it he turned his own car sharply.
The Evers auto went into some road
side weeds which hid the fatal peril
that lurked below and the car Went
down an is foot embankment into
the drainage canal which the bridge
spanned. Before measurements could
be taken and other data secured by
the relatives and friends, immediate
ly after the accident, the weeds were
cut and other precautionary steps
taken by the county, it is said. This
action of the authorities is regarded
as an admission Of responsibility for
the tragedy.

Sun Hatches Out Chickens in Nest
Deserted by Hen

Gladbrook, Iowa During the hot
weather of last week Mother Nature
completed job left unfinished by
a mother hen on a farm near town
Stealing her nest, the hen brought
off brood of chicks from eggs which
Matched sooner than others in the
nest. Satisfied with the peepins
brood already out, the hen took her
chicks out to forage. Knowing no
other hover for night, the hen re-
turned to her nest, but left it bright
and early in the morning.
A few days after it was noticed
that the hen had left the nest it was
found that there were three more
eggs that had just Matched. The sun
was responsible for the completion
of the incubation, altho the hen is
given credit for keeping the eggs
warm at night.
