There was a right guard known as Pete, Who stood very firm on his feet. He never went under; No wonder, by thunder! His shoes could not turn on a street. Tad’s Tid-Bits CHARLEY HARVEY SWEARS that this one is true: Two colored teams are playing in Jacksonville. The pitcher, a e southpaw, has a pecualiar hula-hula movement when he winds up, and is nicknamed “Duck” White. Our hero “Duck” is on the mound. The team at bat has a man on first, with two out, and the heaviest hitter is up with a bat like a telegraph pole. He digs his feet into the batters' box, wets his hands well, grabs the bludgeon and is set. He is the personification of confi- dence as he poses there waiting for “Duck” to toss over the old pill. The crowd howls. They know the batter is a terror and they want to see the ball go sailing over the fence. “Duck” starts to wind up, but the man on first has him worried. He lets his arms down to throw, gives the peculiar wiggle, and the man at bat, thinking thalt he is about to throw to first, stands still, Bam ! ! | | It cuts the plate, and the ump calls “STRIKE ONE.” The man at bat looks up at the sky, smiles a little, pulls his cap down. spits on his hands once more and is ready again. “Duck” slants at the man on first, lifts the plate. the batter, then at the man on first. He starts to wind up again. Then first dances. “Duck” wiggles again, FIRST BA The batter swings so asks him if “Duck” had any flings- & nasty' wing! Say, I didn’t his head, looks at the plate, then slowly lets his arms down, wiggles his an- atomy again, and the man at first, thinking the ball is coming his way, dives for the bag, while Casey at the bat, thinking the same, stands still. It cuts “STRIKE TWO!” yells the ump. “Duck” goes to the pitchers’ box again. He looks over the field, then at his arms dropped a bit as the man on and WHAM | |1 | IT GOES TO hard that he falls down. “THRE STRIKESI" yells the ump, who has shut his eyes, too. \ The batter, with lowered head, walks toward the bench. One of the boys speed. “Huh,” pipes the big batsman, “that boy EVEN SEE THAT LAST ONE! I JES' SHUT MY EYES AND SWANG!" GASPAR WILL NOT MANAGE THE SIOUX New Man Will Be Sought From Big League to Take the Job. PLAN WELL UNDER WAY Sioux ' City, Ia, Oct. 26—Harry Gaspar will not manage the Sioux ity Western League Base Ball club next season. President E. J. Hanlon has accept- ed Gaspar’s resignation, but desires his retention in the team as a pitcher. The former manager has not accepted the offer. ‘ Prégident Hanlon says he will go to the major leagues for a successor to Gaspar. “I want a' man who knows how to manage and I am go- ing to go to the big show for that man,” he says. “What’s more, I am going to get such a man to take charge’ of my team nq:detr, at any cost.”, I'will haye practically the same team to start the. 1917 season that I finished with this year.” | WILSON WRECKS HIGH IDEALS OF NATIONAL HONOR (Continued From Page One.) pared with the fiscal year before the war, showed a decrease in of $200,000,000, so far as materials not affected by the war were concerned, but an increase of $1,500,000,000 of exports that were affected by the war. - On the other hand, things need- ed only in peace have fallen off.” On the Adamson Bill. Colonel Roosevelt then took up the Adamson. bill, saying: “A‘word as to the Adamson bill— the law passed without any investi- gation whatever to raise the wages of men working on railways of the couritry, I very greatly respect the brotherhoods. I am very proud that I am an honorary member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers and Firemen. When I was president it was my good fortune to stand by the brotherhoods, so far as I can r¥ecall, on every question where they were concerned. I stood by them because they were right. “The president of .the United States stood over congress and de- manded that the government of all the people should pass a law for the economical advantage of ¥ of 1 per cent of the people, without giving the rest their ‘day in court. Blame Is All Wilson’s. “For the first time in the history| of this country the president of ‘all the people took an industrial con- troversy- from the ‘economical field and placed it in the political field for personal advantage in the cam- paign. I do not censure the indi- vidual congressmen who acted under the pressure of the chief magistratc‘ of the United States, who came be-| _.fore them alleging, a great national| crisis was threatening the economical | and industrial life of the country and | the food supply of the great cities, and who demanded of congress this l law under pretense that it was a justifiable social welfare law. “It is he, and not any leader of the > brotherhoods, who is primarily to blame, for the brotherhoods atted as » they did only under direct incitement of the president. In other words, the law was passed under duress and by threats., and the president yielded, as he had yielded before to outside threats in international matters. I hold that such yielding was an act, not y merely of timidity, but grave aban- lonment of duty. What the Farmers Want. The Farmers' union demands in- estigation whether the hours of work and the compensation of the railroad men compare unfavorably with those of the farmers, whether the farmer is financially able to with- stand his proportion of the burden of the increase. The farmers want to know the facts before sanctioning a law which may gravely compromise | their interests. I wish to see wages everywhere as high as possible, pro- vided the raise is compatible with justice to all vitally concerned. I wish | to see the eight-hour day as the ideal | toward which we should strive, but| how many considerations must enter | into our decision as to how this ideal | is to be achieved. We must strive to| O e e Sport Calendar Today Boxing—Andre Anderson sagalnst Fred Fulton, ten rounds, at Eau Claire, Wis. Hughy Ross against Charlie Shands, fifteen rounds, at New Haven.

He rallied surprisingly from the effects of the operation and after re- moval from the hospital to his home in Denver his improvement was so gratifying to his family and friends that they felt his full recovery was only a matter of a few weeks. His loss is keenly felt in Ellsworth, where his marked ability in the busi- ness world was reduced to a kindliness and a personal interest in the welfare of all.

Haitian Warriors More Valuable As Stone Crushers Than As Soldiers. When the late President Laconte of Haiti set about to reduce the size of his army a few years ago, many of the generals whom he mustered out of the service were put to break- ing rock on the street. At one time there were more officers than men in the Haitian' army, according to apparently authentic statements, The army officers of Haiti were as fond of gold lace as a mountain girl of bright colors: Small wonder, then, that the regalia of a field marshal was everywhere in evidence. Times have changed, however, and now the American marine in quiet khaki takes the place of the Haitian fire-eater and his resplendent costumes. i h y of a Ha There was a left guard known as Prout, But he'd smash thru the line When the weather was And nothing like that put him out. rheumatism and gout, tian soldier was small at best, noths ing at worst, and at all times insuffi- cient to keep the warrior fed decently. The days of loading coffee on depart- ing ships were great days in Haiti They were busy days when the army got a,square meal, thanks to the stevedore wages which the men were able to earn. Feeding the Haitian armies in the . days béfore the American “big brother” movement was not a diffi- cult job. Garrison rations consisted of a sugar-cane stalk two or three feet long and whatever else the soldier could beg, borrow or steal, —National Geographic Magazine. > Indigestion and Constipation. “I recently discovered in Chamber« lain’s Tablets the first medicine to give me positive and lasting relief, Prior to their use I suffered frequent- ly from indigestion and constipation,” writes Mrs, Anna Kadin, Spencerport, N.
