The best news of the Athletics’ training trip developed at San An- tonio, when Manager Connle Mack an- ' nounced that the injured right arm ot Jack McInnis, the star first baseman and member of the $100,000 infield, had entirely healed. Ever since a ball pitched by Mullin of Detroit injured the arm last Sep- tember, cracking one of the bones of ~he wrist, a fear has been entertained by many that McInnis would not be right for this season. McInnis had hoped to get in the world’s series last fall, but could not throw enough, though he was per- “Stuffy” Mcinnis. mitted to play long enough in the ninth inning to make the putout that ended the last game and the series. Manager Mack watched McInnis work for some time, while the infield ‘was going through a fast practice. At the finish Mack sald: “McInnis is all right. He will be as good as ever. I watched him closely today. He throws the ball without an effort; in fact, today he threw harder than any member of the infleld. He will be made the same invaluable man to Us next season that he was last year.” POPULAR PRIMARY WILL NOT BE HELD (Continued from nrst page).

Possible Now to Connect From New York to Denver—San Fran- cisco Next. TRANSMITTERS ARE DELICATE New York, April 3.—Through the medium of delicately manufactured Western Electric instruments, it is now possible to transmit speech from New York to Denver, a distance 2,050 miles. Less carefully made transmitters would fail utterly in such a project. In a short time the line will be extended to San Francis- co, when, if the hopes of the tele- phone engineers, who are engaged in the work, are realized, the dream of trans-continental telephone commun- ication will have come true, During the past decade, the pub- lic has come to accept the telephone as an every day sort of thing, good for talking to someone else miles away; but owing to the familiarity which such continued speaking ac- quaintance has bred, has probably never given a thought to the delicate workmanship necessary to turn out a transmitter which will really talk well. 5 The transmitter, which is found on the great majority of telephones, is made up of fifty-nine details or parts, not including over 50,000 granules of carbon, which are encased in a closed cup and form what might be termed the “dynamo” of the instrument. Each detail of the transmitter is made as farefully as the most deli- cate part of an expensive watch. The average person, rarely deal- ing with dimensions less than one- eighth of an inch, will scarcely rea- lize what it means to manufacture very small parts whose dimensions must not vary more than one-thou- sandth (1-1000) of an inch either way. & LR R R R R R O RO R © WITH SHEARS AND PASTE. ¢ 0900000000000 06 Hard to Enlighten. Seated in the third row of the stalls, the young couple were enjoy- ing themselves immensely. The new- ness of the young lady’s clothes, the devotion of her attendant man and the huge box of chocolates they were honeymooners. The first act of the play had just got well under way when a stout, el- derly and pompous lady. swept rust- lingly to her seat right in front of the bride. At first the young couple paid no attention to her. Then: “Excuse me, madam,” the bride- groom began, deferentially, “but- The lady he addressed swung slow- 1y round and eyed him coldly. Even in the darkened theater he felt the chill of her glance. But, undeterred, he began again. This time he got a reply. “Kindly explain why you persist in annoying me,” said the stout lady, haughtily. “My seat does not ob- scure your view of the stage, does it “Not at all, madam; but, all the same, I must ask you to move. You're But she would not listen. “I am not interfering with you in any way. So please mind your own business!” But the young husband was. des- perate, although his lips were trem- bling with laughter. “Pardon me, madam,” he persisted, “but you are sitting on an open box of chocolates!”—Answers. World’s Largest Peach. At North Yakima, during Septem- ber, was exhibited a mammoth EI- berta peach, perfectly colored, and weighing seventeen ounces. It was grown on a North Yakima city lot, by A. Green, and has been put in preserving fluid for exhibition. It is five inches in diameter, and will long be known as the real “Peach.” This exhibit is a peach for size, but a peach for flavor is the famous gold- en grain belt beers, which are be- ing so highly prized because of their superb tests. You can’t fool users of golden grain belt.- They know the flavor. T. R. Symons, local agent. Queer Audience Views Comedy. A four-act comedy recently given by the New York School for the Hard of Hearlng, created a singularly weird Impression amongst those present Who were not familiar with lip read- Ing and the sign languagé. Words were used, but they were not meant to be heard, for the players and most of the audlence were deaf. Cues and clever lines allke were read, not heard, and the lips of the silent speak- ers were the media. Even the hand- clapping, with which some of the sudience, unfamillar with the conven: tions of the lipo-drama, were prompt: ed to express their applause, was dis couraged by the knowing ones, who seemed to manifest their approval by en alry wave of the hand aloft. In the longer- play presented, pity was taken upon that portion of the audi- ence which, though able to hear, was go ill-equipped as not to be able to read the lips of the performers. So in “Many a Slip 'Twixt the Girl and the Lip” the lines were read out loud, even though they were mot heard by any of the members of the cast, Wolves in Western New York. For the first time in many years a ack of wolves has crossed the ice m Canada near the eastern end of Lake Erie. They are reported to be jn the neighborhood of Westfield, N. ¥., and are traveling westward. The farmers are - frightened - and fcores of hunters are reported to be jut seeking to kill the wild animals. A land company owning the point be- {ween Westfield and Dunkirk author- ized the publication of a reward. for {bre destruction or capture of five large wolves that several of the farmers fescribed as having been seen attack- g sheep, farm dogs, ~cattle. and sharing suggested ~that they ~ were Yorses.—Connaught News-Herald. FASTENING THE HEAVY -DOOR Catches Described Herewith Will Hold Fast and Prevent Warping—How Working Parts Are Made. (By J. W. GRIFFIN.) To prevent a door from being blown about by heavy winds, there should be a fastening at the top and one near the bottom. A hook at the top and a chain at the bottom looks like life in the primitive age. The fastenings herewith described are those that will stay fastened, and they will prevent the door warping, swinging out at the top or bottom, and will catch every time the door is closed. y The six pleces that hold the work- ing parts to the door are made of heavy hoop iron, bent in the shape as shown in the small drawing at (A), Fastening for Heavy ‘Doors. and are fastened to the door by nails or screws. The dotted lines show the position of the working parts when the tumblers are back so.that the floor may be opened. (B) A coil spring that holds the tumblers in a closed position. The pdge of the door jamb where the tumblers rub as they pass to the pockets, are beveled so that there wilt be the least possible opposition to them entering. The notches at (C) are oblong, that the pins that work in them may not pind, as the tumblers are withdrawn. The dotted lines at (D) represent a notch that is in the door, through which the pin moves when the door Is unlatched. At (E) there is a piece one-eighth pt inch thicker than the tumblers and the pieces that are marked (C); this permits the tumblers to move easily. There is used three-eighths-inch polts at (E) to bolt piece (C) to the floor, and short bolt of the same size at (F) with the heads next to the door. These bolts work loosely in the holes made in plece (C). All working parts work just loose pnough to move without rubbing hard, but not so loose that there will be any rattling on the door by the wind. To open the door, the pin (D) is pushed toward the edge of the door, and as soon as released, the tumblers retain their former position, and when the door is shut, the tumblers will slip in place and hold the door secure. PRACTICAL BARN FOR DAIRY Qiagram Glven Herewith Shows How Wisconsin Man Solvcd Problem of Modern Building. The accompanying diagram shows how a Wisconsin dairyman solved the problem of building a modern dairy barn at low cost, says the Prairie Far- mer. This dairyman was also con- fronted with the problem of construct- Ing a barn on short notice as he had moved to a newly purchased farm which afforded but a mere excuse of & dairy barn, Accordingly he made his barn in the shape of a lean-to on two sides of an old but well built barn. Practical Dairy Barn. The dotted lines in the diagram show the partition between the old barn and the lean-to. By doing this a consid- erable saving in building material was effected as well as time saved in con- struction work. The usual dimensions were followed In the construction of the stalls and alleys. By making the lean-to on the east and south sides of the barn sun- light entered all parts of #t.some time of the day. Ventllation was provided by hinging the windows at the bottom and providing 3 out-takes, one at each end and one where the additions wmeet.

More and more frequently is it-be- ing proved that assertions are totally independent of information. i e N R ! The Real Story. ; Anciently there lived a certaln man by the name of George, who was much pestered by a dragon. The dragon’s colors were mnever twice alike, and by that the creature EOt on George’s nerves In a particu- lar manner. At length George fell to thinking, and the very next time he was asked what he would have he replied: “Never again!"” Moreover, he stuck to it. “St. George!” sniffed his boon com- panions fromically. But posterity spoke of him without Irony, remembering only that he had, by the exercise of a superb courage, slain the dragon. HOW TO SUGGEED i During the last few years, condi- tions in all lines of business, even professional life, have changed so completely that every man is waking up to the fact that in order to win success he must specialize and learn to do some one thing and do it well. So it is with any article that is sold to the people. It must have gen- uine merit or no amount of advertis- ing will maintain the demand for the article. For many years we have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. From the very beginning the proprietors had so much confidence in it that they in- vited every one to test it, free of cost, before purchasing. 1t 18 a physician’s prescription. They have on file thousands of let- ters received from former sufferers who are now enjoying good health as & result of its use. However, if you wish first to try a sample bottle address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and mention this paper. They will gladly forward you a sample bottle by mail, absolute- 1y free.

Another cause of sleeplessness which is frequently overlooked is too much light in the room.
