*******‘******************** THREE STARS QUOTED AT $100,000 Buck O’Brien, Sensation of Boston Team. Grover Cleveland Alexander, Buck O’Brien and Marty O’Toole were pitch- ing sensations of 1911. Two of these “phenoms” are in the National and one is in the American league. The Phillies own Alexander, the Boston Red Sox own O’Brien and the much- advertised Mr. O'Toole belongs to Bar- ney Dreyfus of Pittsburg. Now, what would a big league owner give for the three? If it were possi- ble to get the three on one teani, what price would that club offer? President Frank J. Navin of the Tigers was asked. His reply in brief was: “One hundred thousand cash.” Not long ago these three pitchers belonged to one club. This club sold them all and the total sum received for the trio was $750. The difference that just a few seasons make is $99,- 250, which is a pretty fair rate of in- crease in valuation, ‘The case of these three pitchers shows how scouts can go Wwrong in their judgment and how the best of Judges often go astray. Indianapolis is the club that owned Alexander and O'Toole and O’Brien. W. H. Watkins, who gave Detroit it§ ‘world championship team, is the own; er of the Indianapolis team. Charley Carr, who played in the big leagues, at one time for Detroit, and manager of the Kansas City team in the asso- clation this year, was manager of the Indianapoiis club. Both Carr and Wats kins looked these three pitchers oven thoroughly and passed them up. They brought draft prices which totaled $750. Theése valuable players, among oth~ ers, were wandering around in the “bushes” for several years before they drew any serious attention from any of the prominent major league clubs. And then, with the exception of O'Toole, they did not develop until they were launched in the major leagues.

One of the best receptions ever ac- corded a state fire prevention associa- tion was that given the Minnesota organization at Bemidji last Thurs- day. The visit had been given. much publicity through the local agency of Huffman, Harris and Reynolds. The firm had used the newspaper col- umns liberally and advertised the ev- the Commercial club rooms with dodgers. The re- sult was that the inspectors find con- ditions very good and property own- ers anxious for further suggestions regarding the elimination of the fire risk. The evening meeting was larg- er than the rooms would hold. The Daily Pioneer devoted the greater part of its front page, a por- tion of its editorial column and much other space through the paper to the inspection and speeches. J. L. King of Pennsylvania Fire, E. L. Colburn of the Fire association, A. M. Wallace, assistant state fire mar- shal, and W. O. Chamberlain of the Commercial Union were the principal speakers. Moving picture theaters and the city hall were the objects of severest criticisms, but assurance of improvements were given. A num- ber of old and dilapidated buildings will be razed by order of the fire marshal department.—Western Un- derwriter, March 28, 1912, HELPLESS WHEN ON ITS BACK Predicament of Camel Means Much Hard Work and Is Conducive to Profanity. The “ship of the desert,” like any other ship, may be capsized, and in that predicament the camel is said to be absolutely helpless under certain conditions. The queer beast’s manner of lying down to rest is to fold his legs be- neath his body. If he happens to Toll upon his side he cannot recover his feet again. This infirmity of the animal was amusingly illustrated in the experience of a French explorer ‘whose caravan was made up of came els. The leader had bought some new ones and had no idea of taking any other animals into a country largely composed of loose sand. Trouble be- gan at the very outset. One camel, as' awkward as any of the specles, man- aged to tumble into a ditch of thick mud between the road and a wheat fleld. When once fallen a camel can only get up again if he can arrange his feet conveniently under him and if the ground is nearly flat. In this case it was not so. The ant- mal lay with all four feet in the air, perfectly resigned and incapable of a single movement to help himself. To draw him out required more than half an hour and took the united ‘efforts ot many men with cords passed ube der '.ho mel'l bnk. 10 CUT OUT DECEIT “Applause” to Be Barred From Congressional Record. STUCK IN FOR HOME READERS 4 Bills for Monuments and Memoriale Are Numerous This Sesslon— Wave Perry’s “Don’t Give Up the 8hip” Flag. By GEORGE GLINTON. Washington.—Congress intends to shut down on “deceltful allusions to applause.” Perhaps the public does not know it, but & great many of the fine speeches Which appear in the Congressional Record and which fre: quently are sent'out in pamphlet form to ‘constituents to admire, never were delivered. A member gets two min- utes’ time, stands on his feet, deliv. ers himself of the opening paragraph of a speech and then gets “leave to print” the remainder in the Congres- sional Record. When the Record ap- pears with the speeches in full it fre- quently has been found that the mem- ber who was supposed to have de- livered the speech has inserted here and there in parenthesis the word, “applause” and occasionally he has in. serted “great applause” and on other occasions he may put in “long, loud and continuous applause,” and again “great cheering.” This has been pro- nounced time and again to be & petty sort of deceit intended for home con- sumption and the making of votes. Congress may take cognizance. of this “applause practice,” for Represens tative Dupre has introduced this reso- lution, which it 1s sald may pass: “Resolved, That the Congressional Record shall hereatter contain no ret- erence to any applause that may oc- cur in conmection with anything done or said on the floor of the house of representatives, nor shall any method of indicating approval or disapproval thereot be employed in sald publica tion.” There 18 nothing in this resolution to show directly what it is aimed at, but every member knows and it i8 probable that'a good many men who have written the word applause a dozen times will vote for the resolu- tlon rather than have it appear that they have been addicted to a deceit- tul practice and would like to keep it up. Season for Monuments, This seems to be the session for the introduction of bills into congress for the erection of monuments and me- morials of various kinds. Mr. Flood of Virginia has just ihtroduced a bill, “To provide for the construction of a memorial highway, archway and gateway in memory of Thomas Jeffer- son at Monticello, Albemarle county, Virginia.” The Democrats make more or less of a shrine of Thomas Jeffer son’s old home. ' The approaches to it are said not to be what they should be, and there is a chance that Mr. Flood's bill will pass the house.. It will stand a fair chance ef passage in the senate also, because “although the Republicans there are in a ma- Jority, no party men like to let it ap- pear that they are moved by political considerations tg:deny honor to the memory of a great man of another party. Representative Legare of South attempt to Becure a monument to Christopher Columbus in the city of Washington,” has asked congress to THE FIRST GRAY HAIR SIGN OF AGE Easy Way to Preserve Natural Color Of the Hair and Make It Grow. / A harmless remedy, made from common garden sage, quickly restores gray hair to natural color. The care of the hair, to prevent it from losing its color and lustre, is just as im- portant as to care for teeth to keep them from discoloring. Why spend money for cosmetics and creams to improve the complexion, and yet neg- lect your hair, when gray hair. is even more conspicuous and sugges- tive of, age than wrinkles or a poor complexion? Of the two, it is easier to preserve' the natural color and beauty of the hair.than it is to have a good complexion. All that is necessary is the occa- sional use of Wyeth’s Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of common garden Sage and Sulphur, combined with other valuable reme- dies for dry, harsh, faded hair. After a few applications of this simple harmless remedy your hair will grad- ually be restored to its natural color, in a short time the dandruff will be removed, and your hair will no long- er come out but will start to grow as Nature intended it should. Don’t neglect ycur hair, for it goes further than anything else to make or mar your good looks. You can buy this remedy at any drug store for fifty cents a bottle, and your druggist will give yoir money back if you are not satisfled after using. Purchase a bottle today. You will never regret it when you realize the difference it will make in your ap- pearance. Ii. F. MURPHY FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND EMBALMER Oftfice 318 Beltram! Ave. Carolina, having noted the successfyl |- To quote from the bill: “Queen Isabella, who #0 materially alded in the discovery of America by pledging her jewels in order that Columbus might make his voyage: of discovery.” It is intended that the monument shall bear suit- able ‘inscriptions “with appropriate emblems and devices to perpetuate her memory and td commemorate her services to the world and this country in particular.” Mr, Legare s & South Carolinian ‘and naturally therefore his bill provides that the site selected for the Queen Isabella memorial shall be “In some locality in the city of Charleston, 8. C.” Show Perry’s Old Flag. The other day in congress an ap- propriation was asked to repair, pre- serve and properly exhibit the trophy flags now fin store in the naval acad- emy at Annapolis, Md. In order that the attempt to secure the appropria- tion might have plenty of patriotio sentiment to inspire its passage, one of the members had secured from the naval academy several of the bat- tle flags which are now in the keeping of that institution. One of them was the flag flown by Commodore Perry at the battle of Lake Erie. It 1s & blue flag with these words in gold letters inscribed upon it: “Don’t Give Up the Ship.” These words, of course, will be recognized as those of Captain Lawrence of the United States navy, who commanded the frigate Chesa- peake In its battle with the British frigate Shannon off the Maine coast in the war of 1812. Lawrence was mortally wounded In the action and his last words were “Don’t give up the ship,” words which became the motto of the American navy. Captain Lawrence lies buried in Trinity churchyard, New York city, his grave being within fifteen feet of the iron fence which separates the cemetery from the buslest part of that great thoroughtare, Broadway. Hun- dreds of thousands of people visit this grave in the course of a year and it is seen through the fence palings by as many more thousands, who if they would stop for a moment, cexdd read from the pavement the inspiriting im- scription which the tomb bears.
