Referee-Bailey Parkersburg.
From the "scorebook' by evil
mac" we note the following:
Of course, it never should have
happened. The Orange team started
off with a nine point lead when the
first quarter ended. 1t was cut
down to seven at the half-prob-
ably because substitutes were in
troduced. Then came the disastrous
third quarter. The first team was
back in, but it let up in defense
and almost forgot about offense.
McConnelsville, notably one Martin
who is mighty clever in the vi
cinity of a basketball, got hot. And
before Rip Van w. woke up, the
score was 23 to 20, McConnelsville.
But all glory, laud, and honor to
the Twin Cities five, who looked
good in the face of obstacles too
numerous to mention. Martin, es-
pecially, gets the credit 1t was one
of the best MN teams Wilmac has
seen.

Last Friday night M. & M. bas-

with Marietta by a score of "a to

three points to the good and 1t
looked as though they might be the
winners. Our boys, as usual, when
they play Marietta, feel that they
were treated absolutely fair, and do
not hesitate to state that the better
team won. The Marietta Register
gives complete account OF the
game, as follows:

How to Keep It.
Causes Of illness
BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal OF the American
Medical Association and of Hy-
Reta. the Health Naeaztne.

&CtAp 0DG uG8AA Hk2R2z10es
When serious illness develops in
the ordinary home. particularly In
the family that lives in a small
apartment, the telephone wires to
the corner drug store are kept busy,
and messengers beat path to the
door bringing. piece by piece, the
things that are necessary for the
care OF patient in reasonable COM
fort.
AS everyone knows, things pur-
chased hastily in emergency are not
always the best that can be had or
the cheapest. Since certain amount
OF sickness occurs in every family
sooner or later. the foresighted per-
son will have available, in relation
ship to the family medicine chest,
the necessary apparatus.
Fountain syringes can now be had
made of rubber or of metal or of
porcelain. All are satisfactory. Rub
Der requires care and attention
when not in use or it will spring q
leak or be found unworthy at the
time when it Is needed. A two
quart enamel or aluminium can is
durable. These are now made 80
that they can be used for the double
purpose of application OF heat or
for syringe.
A rubber sheet saves the house
hold linen in times of illness. In
emergency. piece of table oil cloth
about a yard long can be substitut-
ed. In the absence of both, several
thicknesses of newspaper can be
used temporarily.
A patient severely Ill will require
utensil for body excretions, since
carrying the patient to and from
the bathroom Is undesirable.
Bandages of varying widths can
now be bought in any drug store
and a supply Of these kept in a
cardboard box is as necessary as the
medicine chest in any family where
there are children.
II a patient requires fresh air
without draught. a sheet or blanket
may be draped over a clothes-h horse

placed before a wide open window
and be fully satisfactory for the
purpose.
A good atomizer ought to be
available among the apparatus. as
the physician Is likely to direct Its
use In connection with any disturb
ance OF the nose or throat.
Ice bags for the throat are also
useful.
To apply heat one may have hot
water bottle of rubber. This should
be emptied Of air when filled with
hot water. In covering 1t with a
towel. care should be taken not to
stick safety pins through 1t. The
metal hot-water bottle Is more en-
during but not so comfortable. A
brick heated in the oven and cover
ed with a newspaper. a towel or a
blanket Is still a good source of
heat.

to get some more"
The man nodded. One Of his
tanned hands went into q trousers
pocket but instead Of bringing out 4
quarter 1t held a square clean white
handkerchief.
Let me 90 and get the milk for
you," he offered. while you clean
up this mess. Or shall ! send a
cleaning woman?-I think there's
one somewhere on this floor"
"Oh. no." Sally's voice was quick
and strained. I'M clean 1t up. my
self. And DO hurry-please!"
When he was gone she looked at
the handkerchief he had given her.
1t was fine white linen with 4 rolled
edge. In one corner were the ini-
tials ~. NJ" embroidered with dark
blue silk.
Sally held 1t for a full minute.
And she did a thing that wasn't
at all the sort Of thing anyone
would expect Of Sally-a sentiment
al and romantic thing. She slipped
that square of linen handkerchief
into her blouse and began to pick
up the shattered glass with her
little work-rcughened fingers.

Sally gave it to her, and she went.
Il hope she doesn't buy any more
perfume with it." remarked Mr..
Peevey when he and Sally were
alone.
He began to walk up and down
the little office with short jerky
steps. "Wha. happened to all the
women, anyway" he wanted to
know. "They must ha' all gone
crazy! Messing themselves up with
powder and perfume and one thing
and another until they amt like
anything human"
| He glared at Sally from under
bristling eyebrows. Some sense to
you:" he snapped at her. 1.-THE only
fool thing you've done so far is to
cut your hair Off"
Sally looked back at him unhappi-
ly. Mr.. Peevey." she said. I'm SO
sorry, but this milk has turned sour.
1t won't take me five minutes to get
some more-1'll be right back"
Out In the street the crowds Of
people moved listlessly under the
broiling sun. Men carried their coats
under their arms. and mopped their
faces with damp handkerchiefs.
Women went on heavy feet from
store to store, buying ice-cream
freezers and hammocks. thermos
bottles and electric fans. The soda

ness.
But Sally Jerome, darting through
the crowd on flying feet, had no
thought of the terrific heat Her one
idea was to get another bottle OF
milk for Mr. Peevey as quickly as
she could.
1t would be just like him to dis
charge me today" she remarked to
herself on her way back to the Nye-
Naylor building with the cold bot
tie under her arm. Just when Mil
lies out Of job, too"
Sally's constant fear was that che
would lose her position with Mr..
Peevey. She knew that part-time
jobs that paid as we'll as hers paid
were few and far between.
And she had to have part-time
Job as long as he mother was too
i'll to do the homework by herself.
For Mile knew nothing about the
making OF beds, the sweeping of
floors. and the cooking of meals.
She was worse than useless around
the house.
Its just up to me to keep this
job. no matter what happens!" said
Sally to herself as she stepped into
the elevator In the lobby.
A man stepped in just ahead Of
her. but it was not until the car had
started that she recognized him.
1t was Mr.. John Nye, himself.
This time Sally did not look at
him. She kept her eyes demurely
upon the PASTE board lid of the
bottle until they reached the top
floor.
She started down the long marble
corridor almost at a run.
Halfway between the elevators
and Mr.. Peevey's office the corridor
made a sharp turn, and as Sally
rounded 1t her elbow struck the
shining wall beside her. The bottle |
Of milk fell from her arms and |
broke upon the floor In hundred |
pieces!
"Oh, my Govt" groaned Sally, and |
she groaned 1t aloud and with des-
pair.
She had left the office with Just
enough money for the milk. and her
purse was lying on the top of her
desk.
Il don't dare go back for It," she
thought, II just don't dare face Mr..
Peevey without that milk"
She turned and spoke to the tall
dark young man who was just COM
ing around the treacherous corner.
Would you lend me a quarter?"
she said to him desperately. 1--WE

, For tho last half-hour Of our
drive to the inn among the hills
overlooking the Hudson, there was
no word spoken in the great car
which. piloted skilfully by Otto.
Philip Veritzen's chauffeur. was
rushing Us so smoothly and swiftly
over the highway.
Each Of our little group ostensibly
was engaged in looking at the ex-
quisite ebauty of the roadside. but
l guessed that Philip Veritzen's eyes
distinctly sulky over Lillian's subtle
dating OF him as of her own genera
ton instead Of mine. That Lillian
was absorbed in rueful thoughts of
the injustice she had done Mary
Harrison, ! also was certain, but for
myself ! steeled my mind against
any troubling thoughts and gave
myself up to the pleasure of the
likely to be repeated soon, I told
myself with grimly humorous
comprehension OF Philip Neritzen's
probable regret that he had extend
ed the invitation to me, and as Lii
Hans presence assured me that
had no annoyance to fear from the
subtle little audacities of Philip YER
itzen, had nothing to mar my
thorough enjoyment of the day.
We had left the main highway
and were steadily ascending a COM
paratively unfrequented road, not so
well paved as the main one. but
still not rough, and making up for
any deficiencies in its construction
by the beauty of the woodland and
occasional charming, old fashioned
farmsteads which bordered it.
Upwards the road wound among
the hills, and through occasional
vistas We caught sight OF distant
water and OF other woodland and
houses on the other side of it. And
then the road widened and curved,
and there appeared before us a pic
turesque stone wall with gates Of
hewn rocks, the whole covered with
trailing vines and serving as the
setting for big rambling building
also covered with vines and sur
rounded with balconies which, al
most hidden by cluster of protect
ing pines and oaks, fifty capped the
hillside.
That there were other people be-

Little Miss Curiosity, the smallest
Chuck, who had run away, had for
gotten everything she had been
taught. Curiosity does that to peo-
pie. Yes sir, curiosity makes people
forget. Polly Chuck, the mother Of
the five young Chucks, had taught
all of them certain things which she
had charged them never should be
forgotten. One Of the first of these
things which she had taught was
that always they should be sus-
picious.
Over and over again she had
said. MY dears. suspicion never
leads you into trouble, but it keeps
you out OF trouble many. many
times. No matter how safe a thing
looks, be suspicious Of it until you
have found out all about it. Only
knowledge can do away with sus-
picion.'
Now. Little Miss Curiosity. start
ing out to see the Great World all
by herself, should. of course, have
been suspicious of everything new
she saw. That was the only way to
be safe. On the edge OF Farmer
Browns cornfield she had discover
cd huge two-legged creature. At
first she had been very much afraid,
but gradually curiosity overcame
fear. That two-legged creature
didn't move at all. Little Miss Curl
osity sat and stared at it. Then she
went off to one side little way and
stared at 1t. Still it didn't move.
There's nothing to be afraid of
with things that do not move" said
this foolish little Chuck to herself.
"How can i harm me If it doesn't
mover" Already she had forgotten
that it had moved when she first
saw 1t.
So little by little she drew nearer
and nearer to that strange thing
that didn't move. It was a queer
thing. Never In all her short life
had she seen anything just like it.
With every forward step she grew
more and more curious. And the
more curious she grew the less sus-
picious she became. AT last she was
so close to II that she was stretch
ing out her funny little black nose
to sniff at it when-horror of hor-
rors,-it moved. Such frightened
little Chuck as Little Miss Curiosity
was then. Her little heart pounded
with fright. You see. although she
didn't know it, she had walked right
up to the feet of Farmer Browns
Boy. He had seen her and had stood
perfectly still to see what she would
do, All the time he had been
chuckliny down inside as he watch
cd her come nearer and nearer.
When she had reached out to sniff
Of his shoe he had stopped quickly
to pick her up.
But Little Miss Curiosity. fright
ened as she was, wasn't a coward.
No, indeed, she wasn't coward. she
fumped back, so that Farmer
Browns Boy missed her. Then she
hunched herself up and gritted her
teeth at him. You should have
heard her. My, my. how she did
make those teeth go! You see. she
had two very long lower front teeth
and two shorter upper teeth. right
