BECKY THATCHER ALIVE
Schoolgirl in Adventures of Tom
Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
Still Lives in(MisSouri.

From Hannibal. Mo, old home of
Mark Twain, comes the news that
Becky Thatcher" known to thou
sands of readers as the little schoolgirl
in the adventures of Tom Sawyer and
Huckleberry Finn, is real person
and is living today. She is Mrs. Laura
Frazier, eighty-Six years old, and is
matron of the Home for the Friend
less in Hannibal. 1t is said that Mrs
Frazier knows more about Mark
Twain's youth than any other living
person.
Mark and I started going to school
the same year" she says. He was
seven and I was six. Our houses were
across the street from each other right
here in Hannibal. Mark had long,
golden curls hanging over his shout
ders. He used to carry my books to
school every morning and carry them
home in the aftern DON. And he'd treat
me to apples and oranges and divide
his candy with me. In the winter
Mark spent most of his time on the
ice. 1 couldn't skate, but he always
to push me along the ice on split
bottom chair. He was a fine skater,
too-in fact. he was good at anything
he undertook. The first time L ever
saw Mark was on hot summer day.
He came out of his house and started
showing off, turning handsprings and
cutting capers. His head hit me and
was thrown to the ground and
knocked unconscious. I recall hearing
the children talking about how scared
Mark was" Mrs. Frazier passed a
week at Mark Twain's home at Storm
field, Conn, in 1908.

and wounded victims Of the war are
expected to literally get back on their
feet.
For the hundreds of tuberculosis pa
tients. which heretofore have been
a cause of much worry to welfare
organizations in the empire state, the
frame buildings which are part of
the Lake Upper property will be
turned into open air places where
these patients may have protection
and still inhale quantities of mountain
air.
The Legion is to pay $4,000 for
its recently acquired property. The
organization has already paid the for
mer owners of the Adirondack site
$25,0o0 in cash. The Theater AS
sembly, a New York women's organ
ization, has contributed $4,000 and
other similar units have given funds.
1t is expected that with the camp
in full running order 100 veterans
can be capably cared for. 1t is planned
to appoint a central committee which
will choose among the thousands of
sick and wounded ex-service men
those who most need the sort of at
tention the camp can offer. The Le-
gion, however, hopes that in the fu-
ture the camp may be utilized by any
veteran who may desire to rest up by
getting away from city life.

Coming Strong.

Rain prevented play in the South

the last game of a three-day series at
Bartlesville today, and will open an
other series at Coffeyville Wednesday,
Then will come three games at Sa-
puIpa and the club will be ready to

games. Muskogee will be the open
ing attraction on May ,, and 4, fol-
lowed in order by Sapulpa, Bartles-
willie. CoffeyviIIe and Independence.
Plans are rapidly going ahead for
the opening game in Topeka The
event will be featured by parade on
Kansas avenue starting at o'clock
and winding up at League park in
time for the two teams to stage a
short workout before going into the
game. In the event the high school
bows do not get behind the ticket sale
for the opening day. members of the
Washburn college team and their sup
porters may decide to enter the run
ming for the 500 prize. The league
is giving this amount TO the town that
opening day. and if Topeka can win
it. the money will be given to the
organization backing the ticket sale.
Game Today Unlikely.

To Absorb Freckles

Every spring numerous inquiries are
made by girls seeking some reliable recipe
for removing freckles. Very favorable re-
ports have been received from many who

possess unusual properties which complete

wonderfully, becoming soft as rose

spread n thin layer of il over the entire

Cooley declared the team was going
good, in fact, he said, 1t was n much
better club than he thought he had
when he left Topeka Outfielder
Rose, Cooley said, is the best player IN
the league, and along with Hahn and
Hardy he thinks he has an outfield
that is hard TO beat. The infield IS
also coming strong. 1t IS crippled
now but Bockskopf plugged the big
hole at first base. WisKeno is play
ing a fast game at short and strohm
is one of the best infielders in the
league. Strohm was hit on the wrist
by a pitched ball at Muskogee and
may be out of the game for a week,
Cooley said, but should be able to
play by the time the team gets home.
Ryan is out of the game with bum
ankle.
Pitching staff Strong.
Cooley is also pleased with his pitch
ing staff. In Luchien, Cooley, Yendes,
Stipp and Pierce, the latter a left
handler. Cooley says he has an assert
ment that will look after the slab work
in fine shape. Brown is still with the
team, but Songer and Griffith have
been released. Dunn, a St Louis
catcher. has been signed by Cooley
and as soon as he arrives 1t will mean
a blue envelope for either Clarke or
Benn. The latter has been doing most
of the receiving work for the club SO
far.
I've got a mighty good looking bali
club said Cooley. It's taking a little
time to whip it into shape, but it is
looking better every minute. Rose is
the best player in the league and
Bockskopf at first is a wonder. The
pitching staff is developing in great
shape and we will go to knocking off
a lot of games pretty soon. BY the
time we get back home we'll make 'em
sit up and take notice"

SANDZEN FOR THE FRoSH.
Artist Says He Prefers the
Younger Men for Pals.

Manhattan, Kan, April 25.-'T be-
lieve that it would be perfectly safe
to let college freshmen run the world
for a period of four or five years"
Burger Sandzen, Lindsborg artist, said
here in an address before K. s. A. G.
art students in expressing his belief
in the youth of today. 1T am sure
that I prefer the younger ones as COM
panions to the older ones"
The world is longing for beauty as
never before and Professor Sandzen is
convinced that there are as many gem
fuses today as in any previous genera
ton. He believes the ouble with the
present day in America. is that those
who patronize the arts spend their
money on names instead of pictures.
AS a result, those who produce beau
tiful things are too frequently not rec
ognized until after it is too late.
