boys game started off lively, Stock
port scoring four points in the first
half minute. But Pennsville soon
came back, keeping the score close
throughout the first half. Interest
on the sidelines became intense. In
the last half however, Stockport re-
turned to old style. The excellent
passing of the rest of the team gave
Van Fossen his chance, and he ran
clean from his guard scoring 13
points. The game became run
away and lost interest for both
sides. At the whistle for the end
the score stood IL to "a in favor of

ITO be well, you must keep the
i blood stream free from impur-
ities. If the kidneys lag, allowing
body poiscns to accumulate, toxic
condition is created. One IS apt to
feel dull, languid, tired and achy.
A nagging backache is sometimes a
symptom, with drowsy headaches
and dizzy spells. That the kidneys
are not functioning properly is often
shown by burning or scanty passage
of secretions. If you have reason to
suspect improper kidney function
ing, try Doan's PiLs-a tested

throughout the United States. Ask

Proof That Colossal
Beasts Roamed Mexico

Much interest was created short
time ago by the news of the discovery
of the remains of mOnstrous animals
in the state Of Sonora in Mexico.
These remains have since been ex-
amined. One was the tooth of an
alosaurus, an animal in some respects
like a crocodile, but of colossal size.
This tooth, of which only the top is
complete, is IL inches long and 4
inches wide, and in its incomplete
state it weighs over six pounds. 1t
belonged to creature 16 feet high.
Another tooth was IL inches long.
According to calculations by veter-
mary surgeons and dentists the COM
plete set of teeth belonging to one Of
these huge beasts must have weighed
nearly a quarter Of ton. Its head
could not have been less than good
sized motor car, and the total weight
of this monster must have been scores
Of tons.

The parents Of Ethel had ideas on
the rearing Of their child, and insisted
on trying to carry them out.
One evening, just after tea, Ethel
ran into the dining room, her little
face ablaze with excitement. Father
sat reading his newspaper, while
mother was mending the stockings.
"Oh, mummy" burst out Ethel, may
say something's"

you know it is against the rules to
talk when daddy is reading. You
must wait till he has finished"
To make the lesson more effective,
father went on for some time. Then
he laid down the paper, and asked :
"Now, dear, what is it you wanted to
say?"
ut doesn't matter much now" said
Ethel coldly. Il only wanted to say
that l couldn't turn off the bath-tap,
and all the waters running down the
stairs"

Lucky Discoveries of
Vast Mineral Wealth

Tin is worth about $1,47O a ton. At
North Dundas, in Tasmania, nugget
Of the metal has been found which
weighed 5,4O0 pounds, and was almost
pure metallic tin.
Copper often occurs in nature in a
pure state. A solid block of this metal,
Weighing more than ton and half.
has just been found in South Africa.
The most wonderful discovery of the
kind was made in the Andes, at the
back Of Peru, where, at height of
$4,000 feet, there has been found a
mountain Of copper ore a mile long
and half mile wide.
Silver is sometimes found in great
masses. Most of us have heard of
Cobalt, the miracle silver city of
northern Ontario. One day, in the
spring of 1908, two workmen quar-
relied while at work on a rough rail-
way track made for hauling lumber.
High words led to blows, and one
man flung an axe at the other. It
missed him but struck a bowlder,
splitting it in two and showing up in
its heart mass of glittering white
ness. 1t was lump Of almost pure
silver.
That spring Cobalt had four small
shacks, but six months later there
were more than 5000 inhabitants.

Evidence That Tigers

Man-eating tigers Of the Indian jun
giles sometimes appear to single out
a certain person and go after him, ig-
noring all others until they get him,
points out Gen. William Mitchell, the
noted flying officer, in an article in
Liberty. The general tells a story to
illustrate his point.
"a native became separated from
his companions in the jungle and was
chased by tiger" he writes. HE
succeeded in climbing into a tree,
while the tiger remained on watch
below.

MY MARYLAND

my Maryland" the national
|operatta, will be presented by the
Messrs. Shubert at the Auditorium
Theatre, Baltimore, Md, on Monday
evening, Oct. 81. 1t has score by
Sigmund Romberg, composer OF
"The Student Prince and Blossom
Time" and book and lyrics by Dor
othy Donnelly, author of 1.-THE Stu

but it's special appeal for the people
of the entire state of Maryland will
be because of all it's scenes are laid
in this state. The entire spirited
action of the operetta which has be-
come national favorite takes place
in Frederick and Hagerstown, Mary
land, during the days of the Civil
War-the early period when the
South was triumphant. The love
story is the highly dramatic one of
Barbara Fritchie, the bell of Freder-
ick who hung out Union Flag while
Stonewall Jackson's army was
marching through. Barbara and
her Northern soldier-lover, Captain
Trumbull, both survive their war
experiences to provide happy end
ing.
Sigmund Romberg has written a
score which will especially interest
the people of this state and the states
to the southwark. He has taken
old Civil War airs and woven from
them score and spell all of which
create the atmosphere of Maryland
in Civil War time. The marching
song of the Connecticut regiment
which appears in the operetta,
Your Land and My Land" is a
musical combination of Maryland,
song, and "Glory, Glory Hallelujah. ("
This song appears throughout the
My Maryland" famous civil war
operetta. It has been suggested as
a new, fitting, national anthem.
The production is spectacular
where spectacle is required and in
innate where intimacy leads to dra-
matte conviction. Nothing would be
more spectacular than the final scene
when "Stonewall Jackson and his
victorious army march through
Frederick and nothing more tender
and more intimate than the dramatic
scenes in which Barbara and her
father and her soldier lover are
factors.
The company includes more than
$50 singers and players and there is
male military chorus of so.

So long ago that it is impossible to
say when, there dwelt in Europe or
Asia a most remarkable tribe of man.
kind. These people are not mentioned
In any ancient history and no legend
gives hint of their existence. They
were the so-called fathers of the AIRY
ans who now people the earth, and
the knowledge we have learned about
them has been learned through the
study of words. Word by word the
language of the original Aryans has
been exhumed from the descendent

His Impulse

The following true incident was told
to friend of the Companion not long
ago by woman of the Quaker faith.
Quaker was once passing Quak-
er westinghouse in the country when
suddenly he felt an impulse to go in
and preach, although there was no
audience. He acted according to his
impulse, preached short sermon and
then left the building
Some years later, while in London,
he was accoste1 by man who said
to him, "Sir, you saved my life"
Astonished at such remark, he
said, What do you mean? l do not
know you"
WELL" said the man, II was pass
ing a certain westinghouse enc day

ed in low voice, II was an ex-convict

Ranges of Hurricane

A West Indian hurricane means
days of anxiety to the inhabitants Of
the southern coast cities. The gov
ernment gets reports of the approach
ing storms long before they reach the
American coast. When the storm
strikes it may demolish sea walls, tear
down telegraph and telephone wires,
and destroy buildings and ships at
anchor in the harbors. Galveston,
Charleston and other cities have paid
dearly in the past for their unpre-
paredness.
In single season hundred vessels,
large and small, have been wrecked,
thousand buildings seriously dam
aged, scores of lives lost and hundreds
OF miles of sea walls, docks and tele-
graph wires destroyed.

mothers in the neighborhood. AS 1t

once dispatched an acceptance for her
son. The boy attended the party as

Judges Latitude to N
Punish for Contempt

Contempt of court does not merely
mean that you treat the court itself or
the dispensers of justice In a sneering
or contemptuous manner.
A laugh, except at the judges time
worn jests, will bring the severe re-
buke, IF you are not careful, sir,
will commit you for contempt of
court" You also offend by publicly
disputing the learning or authority of
the judge, or by osLentatiously read
ing newspaper in his presence.
To avoid contempt and to obtain
hearing, an English lawyer must not
only appear in court In a horsehair
wig, gown, and bands; he must also
wear suit of sober color, black for
preference. In chambers, however, q
judge cannot summarily commit per-
son for contempt; and 1t is not essen
tial for counsel to appear in robes,
as in court.
The late Sir James Bacon, while sit
ting in court, would never listen to
counsel wearing a white waistcoat, de-
spite the fact he himself habitually
wore one while sitting as vacation
judge.
1t is possible to commit contempt
out of court as well as in it. To OBJ
struct a witness on his way to give
evidence, to threaten him if he does
give evidence, or to destroy any letter
or document after the issue of the writ
are serious forms of contempt. It is
not, however, contempt merely to tear
up writ or subpoena in the presence
Of an officer of the court.
At the present time the penalty for
most contempts is costs. To purge his
contempt, the guilty party has usually
to pay all the costs Of a motion to COM
NIT and attach.-London Tit-Bits.
