PREMATURE HALLOWEEN.

All over the country police. orders seem to be going out against premature celebrations of Halloween. From the stand- point of irrepressible youth this may seem like tyrannical oppression. But tyrannical or otherwise, something of the sort seems necessary.
 Yet, we cannot feel that youth is entirely responsible for the frequently too early celebrat- ion of this autumn festival of witchery and mystery. What can a healthy youth think when it sees windows aglow with masks, false faces, cos tunes, table decorations and other objects suggestive of the Halloween season? It would be an odd boy indeed who, with such stimulation, did not begin to think of tick-tacks, chalked windows, corn-throw- ing and the more reckless phases of the celebration.
 Of course this nation cannot become so paternalistic as to forbid the display of a mer- chants goods and it cannot very effectively control the thinking of youth and so about all it can do is what it is doing, promise dire punishment for the lads and lassies who begin their Halloween celebrations too far in advance of the day set for that purpose and not unfrequently continue them afterWard.
 What, of course, is not clear to older minds is what fun the youngsters get out of half months celebration of Hallow- cen. From recollections of childhood the old folks can readily understand how to pack a lot of fun into a night or two of revelry, but the idea of thinning it out over a week or more has little appeal for the elders, though apparently the young folks see it differ ently.
 But seeing it differently the young folks are commencing to find themselves face to face with police orders and little sympathy from the grownups, who can readily stand night or two of bedlam, but do have very justifiable objection to a week or two of it.

That is almost as good as the story they tell of a we'll known local citizen who made a trip down Portland Canal with the late Fred Dorey in the Silver Heels. The day was foggy as hey pulled out from the land ing on Main Street and pro- ceeded down the Canal. Off the wharf, the engine started to pound and Fred wanted to go below to see what was up.
 "Can you steer?" he asked the aforesaid local citizen. Sure" the latter replied, Nothing to it.
 All right" said Fred keep her dead ahead"
 Fred found some difficulty in fixing the engine and some time elapsed before he was aroused by a sudden shout from the pilot house:
 Fred! come quick! I see a steamer coming through the fog and I don't know which side to go on!
 Fred hurried up, glanced out of the window and asked: Where is your steamer?" Right over there," was the answer.
 Steamer" Fred snorted after a glance in the indicated di- rection, That's no steamer, you fish. You're heading straight for the saw-mill!"

of position, and also to determine by
whom the word to fire should be CIV
en- Hamilton won. The flint-lock
pistols were loaded and the duellists,
taking their station, were instructed
as to the rule governing the firing.
This rule was that ''the second who
gives the word shall ask them if they
are ready, and being answered in the
affirmative, he shall say Present.
The parties shall then present and fire
when they please. If one fires before
the other, the opposite second shall
say 'One, two, three, fire. and he shall
then fire or lose his fire." Everything
was now set for action. Hamilton'S
second gave the word Present" as
had been agreed upon, and both men
presented and fired in succession-the
intervening time was not precisely
agreed on by the seconds when they
made their detailed statement Of the
duel
Burr, cool as an iceberg, raised his
arm slowly and, taking deliberate aim,
brought down his man. His bullet
struck Hamilton in the right side, in
fiicting a mortal wound. AS Hamilton
fell his pistol was discharged, the bull
let going upward through the trees.
He was carried to the river bank and
put on board a boat for New York.
After reyiving from swoon Hamilton
declared that he had met Burr with
In+o niY,o mo n harm him 0nn
that she forgave all that had hap
pened."
The people of New York were
shocked at the news of the duel and
the subsequent death of Hamilton.
The greatest excitement prevailed;
flags were flown at half-mast; indig-
nation meetings were held and Burr
was denounced as revengeful demon.
The coroner's jury in New Jersey re-
turned a verdict to the effect that
Burr was guilty of murder and that
both seconds were accessories. This
was followed by an indictment for
murder, which was never prosecuted.
Vice President Burr, fearing per-
SOudl NlOlcnCc at Tic VI
ilton's friends, sought safety in flight.
He spent several months in the South,
and on March 2, 1905, he took leave
of the United States senate over
which he had presided.
Burr's defeat for the highest office
within the gift of the American peO-
pie was a most grievous disappOint-
ment to the ambitious statesman and
probably led him, after his retirement
from the senate, to attempt the found
ing of an empire to include Mexico
and the southwest section of the Unit
ed States, and of which he was to be
the ruler. He was arrested, tried for
treason, and acquitted. Burr died at
tn age of eighty, poverty-stricken and
friendlesS.

EARL COMBS HAS
MADE GREAT HIT
Wayland Dean, His Former
Pal, Gone Back Rapidly.

Many a queer quirk arises in base
ball.
In 1922. the year after the Louis
vile Colonies had won an American
| association pennant, half-dOzen
youngsters were taken to the spring
training camp at Pensacola. One was
Earl Combs, of Owsley county, Ky.
Another of the youngsters was Way
land Dean, just off the lots of Hunt
ington, w. Va, and still another was
Ed Holley, who had ventured forth
from Benton, Ky. Dean We'd with
Combs for stardom and in the spring
of 1924 Combs and Dean were sold 70
the New York clubs, the Yankees OBJ
tanning Combs and the Giants obtain
ing Dean. The Louisville club was
enriched approximately 100000 by
the sales. Combs now is considered
the best center fielder in baseball.
Dean made a most suspicious debut
with the Giants and John McGraw
lavished him with praise. The bright
lights of Broadway, however, were
too beguiling for Dean and he soon
began to slip. After losing patience
with him, McGraw at length sold him
to the Philadelphia Nationals and they
finally sent him via the waiver route
over to the manager who had devel-
oped him, Joe Mccarthy, who had be-
come the pilot of the Chicago Cubs.
Mccarthy exhalted much of his Irish
kindness in endeavoring to put Dean
back on the path to success, but Dean
handicapped him too severely and aft
er behaving very badly jumped the
club and wandered about aimIessly,
doing nothing.
Holly always gave much promise Of
becoming even a greater pitching pros
pect than Dean, but the years with
Louisville served him none too gener-
Ously. At times, he pitched with ex-
traordinary form, and then again, for
long stretches, his work was patheti-
caIly ineffective, but Mccarthy always
thought that Ed would do better.
Last year, Ed, still with the Col
Onels, was buffeted about abjectly by
every American association team he
faced, but nevertheless Mccarthy,
from Chicago, still viewed his efforts
with hope, and now Ed is to gain the
one big glorious chance of his career
He went to the Chicago clubs training
camp at Catalina islands, Calf, as
member of the Cubs, and il payment
for him, Mccarthy sent Dean back to
Louisville. Last year, Holly, with
Louisville, won six games and lost
eleven. If he does not remain with
Chicago, he will be back with the
Colonies on June 1.
Dean, in a letter TO Capt. William
Neal, vice president of the Colonies,
the man who found him and who gave
him his big chance for baseball fame
by offering a Louisville contract, con-
fesseS that he has blighted his base
ball career by wrongdOings, Tut de-
clares that he has seen the Ell -or of
his ways and is determined to make
amends.

Out of Baby |
babies Have Nerves
By RUTH BRITAIN

Much of the nervousness in older
children can be traced to the over
stimulation during infancy, caused by
regarding baby as sort of animated
toy for the amusement of parents, rel
atives and friends. Baby may be
played with, but not for more than q
quarter Of an hour to an hour daily,
Beyond that, being handled, tickled,
caused to laugh or even scream, Will
sometimes result in vomiting, and in
variably causes irritabiIity, crying or
sleeplessness.
Fretfulness, crying and sIeepIessness
from this cause can easily be avoided
by treating baby with more consider
!ation, but when you just can't see
what is making baby restless or upset,
better give him a few drops of pure,
harmless Castoria. It's amazing to see
how quickly it Gains baby's nerves and
soOthes him to sleep; yet it contains
no drugs or Opiates. 1t is purely veg
etable- recipe is on the wrapper.
Leading physicians prescribe it for
collie, cholera, diarrhea, constipation,
gas on stomach and bowels, feverish-
ness, loss of sleep and all other cup
sets" of babyhOOd. Over % million
bottles used a year shows it's over
whelming popularity.
With each bottle of CastOria, you get
a book on Motherhood. worth its
weight in gold. Look for Chas. H
Fletchers signature On the package so
you'll get genuine Castoria. There are
many limitations.

touched the corpse of the public credit
and it sprang TO its feet"
As early as 1870 Burr and Hamil-
ton became political opponents. They
were the most powerful leaders of
their day. Burr was generally ac-
knowledged as the political boss of
the state of New York. The rivalry
between these two eminent politicians
was intense and bitter, and was con-
tinued until the death of Hamilton at
the hands of Burr.
Burr's unsuccessful campaign for
the governorship of New York, while
he was still vice president, was made
as an appeal to the people for vindica-
ton of his course in politics. He had
fallen out with Jefferson, and was
hated by the Republican leaders,
whose confidence he had lost. He was
at this time in accord with what was
known as the Democracy. He an
nounced himself as an independent
candidate. In this campaign Burr
took exception to some remarks, al
legged to have been made by Hamilton,
leader of the Federalists, and demand
ed an explanation and an apology.
Burr held Hamilton accountable for
having declared, with Judge Kent,
that ''he tBurr) was looked upon as a
dangerous man, and one who ought
not to be treated with the reins of gov
eminent" Several letters passed be-
tween the two men, and Hamilton's re-
plies proving unsatisfactory, Burr
challenged him.
Hamilton accepted the challenge, al
though he was opposed to duelling. On
the night before his meeting with
Burr, he made a written statement in
explanation of his conduct, motives
and views. "My religious and moral
principles" he wrote, "are strongly
opposed to the practice of duelling !;
and it would ever give me pain to
shed the blood of a fellow creature in
private combat forbidden by the
laws. /. 1t is not my design, by
what have said to affix any odium
on the conduct of Colonel Burr in this
case. He has doubtless heard Of an
imadversions of mine which bore very
hard upon him, and it is probable that,
as usual, they were accompanied with
some falsehoods. He may have sup
posed himself under a necessity of act
ing as he has DONE"
The Burr-Hamilton duel was. fought
in the morning of July IL, 1904, be-
meath the Heights of Weehawken, N
]. Burr with his party was the first
to arrive ON the scene. When Hamil-
ton came little later the two men
exchanged salutations, and the sec
onds-William p. Van Ness for Burr,
and Col. Nathaniel Pendleton for Ham
iItOn-proceeded with the arrange
ments. They measured the distance

Cub Managers Wife

Mrs. Joe Mccarthy can just about
tell what the Cubs are going to do
in baseball by the way her husband,
who manages them, knocks on the
door.

he gives two timid raps that spell to
her trained ear Encouragement and
ebbing hope When the prospects are
bright, lie gives a series or resounding
knocks that shiver the timbers-per-
emptory knocks like an emperor might
give.
And Joe is knocking hard these
days, Mrs. Mccarthy said. BY the
knocks only does she know, for the
Cubs manager never talks baseball
with his wife.
"Only once did l question him about
baseball" said Mrs Mccarthy. THAT

HE most celebrated duel
ever fought on American
M soil was that between
II III Aaron Burr and AleXan-
III 81 der Hamilton. Burr was
IL 81 the son of a clergyman.
III 81 When twenty years of age
IL he enlisted in the Army
of the Revolution, and for
his gallant and meritori-
Ous services during Arnold's eXpedi-
ton against Quebec he was rewarded
with a majors commission. A little
later he became aide-de-camp to Gen
eral Putnam, and this was followed
by promotion to lieutenant-col-
oneley, carrying with it the command
of his regiment. At the close of the
war Colonel Burr was admitted to the
bar, and rapidly rose to prominence.
He was elected a member of the New
York legislature, and his next eleva-
ton was his appointment to the Office
of encouragement of the state. In
1871 Burr was elected United States
senator, and in 1898 he was again sent
to the state legislature. He was a
candidate for the Presidency in 1904.
The election resulted in a tie between
the highest candidates-Burr and
Jefferson. The decision was thrown
from the electoral college into the
house of representatives, and Jefferson
won. Burr was given the vice-presi-
dency. In 1904 the Federalists nomi-
mated him for governor of New York.
He was defeated.
Alexander Hamilton was born on
the Island of Nevis in the West In
dies. He was the son of James Ham
iltOn, a Scotchman, who married the
divorced wife of a man named
Levine He was brought up in the
Island of ST. Croix, and while engaged
as a clerk in a contingencies he
gave evidence of financial ability.
He wrote occasionally for the news
papers, and his description of hurri-
cane i'm the Island of st. Christopher
attracted wide attention and led his
friends to send him to New York to
complete his education. He first went
to school in Elizabeth, ~ j., and then
attended Kings college-now Column
bia university-in New York.
In 1776. when he was nineteen years
old. he joined the Army of the Revo-
luton as captain of an artillery COM
pany and took part in many battles.
The next year he was made aide-de-
camp to Washington with the rank of
Northumberland. Following this hon
or came his appointment as inspector
general. His next promotion was to a
major generalship. 1t was as secre-
Iary of the treasury that General
Hamilton won his greatest renown.
Webster said of him: HE smote the
rock of the national resources and
abundant streams gushed forth. He
