poor little woman whom he solemnly swore

exists between the two teams. On Septem-
ber 22nd, the game between these two
teams developed into deadlock of 3-3.
The Gordon & Ferguson outfit feeling
more or less chesty over their showing with
the local squad are determined to show
the Nj. S. P. outfit that they really can
play ball. The fact that they can, is
generally admitted here and with luck
again on the firing line they stand fair
chance of winning. Even so, the local
bunch will give them run for their

THE SILVER LINING
Continued from page -

In the midst of the uproar, the fre-bell
at the town-hall rang out its summons.
The old mill had been struck by lightning,
and was already casting great tongues of
fame into the air.
The now subsiding wind was still strong
enough to carry the flames and flying
embers from house to house. There were
few men to fight the flames, and the little
engine was impotent against the raging
furnace. Half the town was soon in ashes,
and the now homeless villagers accepted
the offer of the railway to carry them to
the city where charity was doled out.
Thus Mrs. Darlington found herself in
the Metropolis, whose maze separated her
from her son so near and yet so far.
Mother and son thus lost all trace of each
other, and the poor woman became
subject of charity at woman's mission.

USED FOR MARKING SLAVES

The custom of wearing earrings in its
primitive significance originated in mark
ing the slave. Later it was adopted as
fashionable distinction.
From the child, hanging cherries on the
ears, to the suspension of costly gems from
them, earrings have indicated the love of
adornment from centuries before the
Christian era.
Today the dainty trinkets are made to
affix to the lobe of the ear by screws
which offer no initiating pain in the
wearing-a decided improvement upon
the disfguring process of piercing holes
in the daintiest part of well-shaped ear.
Greek and Roman ladies gave much
attention to beautiful designs, proof of
which may be seen in museums which
preserve the ancient specimens jealousy.
English ladies wore them at the time of
. the Norman conquest.
There is an engraving extant of Eliza
beth, queen of Bohemia, with an oval
pearl in the left ear. and carefully affixed
to a narrow ribbon guard. Shakespeare
records their use by men. He is himself
represented in a portrait with thin gold
ring in his ear. Van Dyck's portrait of
Charles the First depicts the monarch with
sumptuous PEARL which formed the
melancholy bequest of his granddaughter,
the princess of Orange, after his execution.
Today thin gold wires may be seen in
the ears of fishermen in some localities.
Sailors were great observers of the Gus
tom, though one sees fewer now than
formerly Peasantry of Spain, Italy and
Sicily, as we'll as gypsies of both sexes,
are much attached to the use of earrings.
Most elaborate Jewels occupied the
attention of the old masters, who obvi-
ously appreciated their decorative adjunct
to feminine features. Sometimes the tear
drops" measured three inches in length.
The jewelers. art has given of its
choicest in designs for ear adornment.
Josiah Wedgwood turned his genius to the
manufacture of cameo medallions in jas
per ware for earrings.
In the shops one sees today possibly
greater regard for the intrinsic beauty of
precious stones; they are almost invisibly
mounted, their alluring color and sparkle
emphasize the delicate flesh tints of their
wearers, and in the lesser values of the
jewelers. craft ivory jade, amber, tor

Station in St. Paul, was quite able to de-
feat their entertainers by a total count of
5 to 2 and incidentally maintain their
winning streak which has now reached a
total of eight victories in row plus one
game with no decision-a tie.
R. Cassel, who did the artillery work for
the visitors, delivered his give" from the
sport side" which was cleverly aided with
his manipulation of the "pill," caused the
local sluggers to stare in wonderment
while he was slipping strike after strike
past them. His wildness in the early chap
tiers figured very prominently in his de-
feat for it caused him to issue a. total of
five free tickets, two of them developing
into scores. He had splendid strikeout
record, turning eleven of the local slugging
stars back by that route. He allowed
total of seven hits, four of them being of
the extra base variety. They were we'll
scattered with the exception of the fourth
round when three hits were punched for
three runs. In the initial frame he issued
two free tickets in succession and both
runners scored on Fos's. triple to right
center. In the fourth chapter the locals
made three more markers which came by
the way of base on an error by Minard,
single, couple of miscued felder's
choices and couple of two-baggers. This
ended the locals. scoring for they were
held almost hitless during the balance of
the game
On account of the NJ S. P's. two veteran
pitchers being laid up for repairs, Fro
was forced to work on the firing line as
substitute and B'dt., very ably filled
Fros vacancy at third. Fro. got by very
nicely fol he did all that was expected of
any pitcher. to do. He even went so far
as to send the visitors back to the field by
the strikeout route and that is something
neither OF the other two veteran pitchers
have accomplished all season. He allowed
a total of six hits, two of them for extra
bases and they were scattered over almost
as many innings By him being exception
ally stingy with hits and getting 'big
league" support in pinches, the visitors
were held scoreless until the opening of
the seventh chapter. Vogel's single and
stolen base, which was aided along by
Krogsted's two-bagger to right, manufac-
tured one run. Another was recorded in
the ninth round when Vogel was given a
free ticket and very promptly pilfered
second and third. On miscued felder's
choice. he was allowed to score.
