How the Reform Worked
When the Union troops under
Grant, early in the Civil war, took
possession of West Kentucky some
difficulty was encountered in con-
trolling the populace, for that end of
the state was hotbed of southern
sentiment and most of the young
men had enlisted in the Confederate
army General Grant issued procla-
nations stating that no citizen
would be molested unless he under
took - give aid and comfort to the
enemy.
In one town in the invaded district,
though, there was an elderly gentle
man whose sympathies with the
southern cause were especially out
spoken. Whenever word came of
victory for the southern armies his
Jubilat,on was undisguised.
The Union provost marshal, hear
ing complaints from his men of this
mans actions and words, decided to
make an example of him. He sent
a squad to arrest the offender and
presently, under guard, the old
gentleman was brought before him.
Look here said the provost,
I'm getting tired of your behavior.
Every few days l hear that you've
been going about again spreading re-
ports that our forces have been de-
feated and Dragging about the cour-
age of the other side. Now then, I've
decided to reform you. Either you
take the oath Of allegiance to the
Union right now or off you go to a
military prison. Which shall it be?"
The prisoner decided to take the
oath. After it had been administered
the northern officer felt that a fur
Their admonition might be in order.
NOW, then" he said, 81 hope you
understand what this thing means?
Ii ever again you utter word of
disparagement for the Union cause
or word of approval for the Con-
federates, and I hear of it, you'll
suffer severely, because now you're a
loyal Unionist. And if you make q
single disloyal remark you're guilty
of treason"
The reclaimed one thanked MIN
for the warning. On his way out he
stopped at the door.

against thinkin', is they?"
"That depends" said the major.

The origin Of the hot cross bun is
attributed to many sources. Some au-
thorities associate it with the offerings
presented, in ancient times, to the
gods. One species of sacred bread
was called boun, and is described as
kind of cake with a representation Of
two horns, apparently an offering to
the moon.
On the other hand, it is held that
"bun" is from the old French word
"bugne," applied to a sort Of fritter.
Though the origin of the hot cross bun
was pagan, 1t soon became connected
with the Christian religion.

Quiet Thoughts

The more we think of some people
the less we think of them.
If some men had to eat their words
they would soon die of indigestion.
Whenever a man fails in an under
taking he attributes it to fate.
The ardent lover is all at sea when
bis best girl throws him overheard.
Anyway, the trusts will never be
able to corner the sunshine market.
Why does a man always know less
after marriage than he thinks he
knows before?

Says Hot Cross Bun Is of Pagan Origin

Buns were apparently eaten on Good
Friday, as one of the few allowable
items of fasting fare. They were also
hung up as talismans against evil, and
were kept from one Good Friday to
another, being regarded as a cure for
various ailments.-London Tit-Bits.

Omitted Press staff CorrespondeNt) }

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.--Cincinnati
and Philadelphia for the next
worlds series is ahc choice of the
Detroit players who are now in
town with Ty Cobb for a series with
the New York Yankees.
The guess of the Athletics for
the American league championship
is no great surprise, but two weeks
ago any ball player picking the
Reds for the National league pen
nant would have been viewed sus-
piciously.
In the last two weeks. however,
the Reds have made such spurt
and the Pirates and the Giants have
slumpcd so much that competent
critics have been looking at the
club as dark horse possibility.
The Tiger players admit that they
have not seen much of the Nation
al league teams this year but they
favor the Reds on account of the
fine pitching staff and the general
breaks.
The Giants have been broken up
all season with injuries and they
will have to finish the season with
patched inficld. Eddie Farrell, Il
boy just out of Pennsylvania Uni
versity, is at sbortstop. No club,
they point out, has ever won a rcn-
nant without a high class seasoned
shortstop.
The Tigers favor the Athletics
against the champion Senators be
cause of their youth and hustle.
This opinion is against the expert
belief and the theory of the Wash
ington management that veteran
players will be able TO stand the
gaff Of the drive through the
stretch better than Connie Mack IS

Ty Cobb hasn { much to say about
his team this year. He is looking
to the future and making plans fp
tncxt year. Cobb has let II be KNOWN
that he il. going tosdo a general
house cleaning this fall and that
Manush is the only player on the
club who is sure of his job.

The Goodrich men, who wcrr cx-
pccting to see Brown have Il much

not quite as enthusiastic today rs
the Brownies, however they argued
that Montoya is not Goodrich and
that Brown will find out consider
able about this matter Tomorrow
