Even at that 5-4 sounds well and fur a time it looked as though the large end of the tailv would he on the other side. Danville wa- not playing at her best as testifi ed by several costly errors. Rowe held his own on the mound scattering the hits so that they did the least damage. Moote was a pnzzla until the eighth when the locals hit him hard, to the tune of three ruus all earned. A fair sized crowd witnessed the garae. In the first inning Huntingdon fail-1 ed to score. In Danville's half Hess, ! first tip, got a base ou balls: Umlauf nacritioed him to the second bag. Liv engood struck otu, Dooley popped out one to second base and Hoss scored on the throw.

Huntingdon made their first score in the second inniug with two men or.t. Maxwell hit a two bagger So right field. Simpson next up hit one to third which Hess failed to get, Maxwell scoring on the error. Moore popped one out to right field which retired the Bide. From this time tip until the fifth the game was a pitcher's battle with; honors about evenly divided. Iu the fifth and seventh the visitors scored two runs. In the eighth they failed to turn the trick. In Danville's half Am merman who took Koehler's place started the ball rolling by touching up Moore for a neat pop to eecond. He was thrown out at first.

I Not long since a young woman suf | fering with an incurable disease ap ! plied for admission to a hospital in a southern city. "I know I must die," she said simply to the attendant physician, "but do something to keep me alive for a little while for my babies' sake. In a few years they will not need me so much." Her one chance lay in a very pain ful operation, but her heart was so weak that the surgeon dared not ad minister an anaesthetic. Very gently he explained the situation—the opera tion would make but a year's differ ence at most; it seemed hardly worth while to suffer so much for so brief a respite; she would best go home and —wait. But the little woman shook her head. ! With mother love shining In her eyes, she allow ed herself to be strapped upon the operating table and there willingly underwent the torture of the knife that gave her a few months to devote to her precious babies.—Deline- J ator. «■ • Marlborough House. Marlborou -'i House is one of tho numerous l. ..Mings of Sir Christopher Wren. It was built at a cost of £44,- 000, the whole of which was defrayer! by tho duke. Here the great duchess lived till her death in 1744, waging an incessant warfare upon the society of her time. Here, too, she received a deputation of the lord mayor and sher iffs of London while still Jn bed, an incident which was satirized by Gay: Acquainted with the world and quite well bred.

"Before fame came to him," Bald a playwright, "that great rival of mine, George Bernard Shaw. wrote theatrical criticisms for the London Saturday Review. Now, those were criticisms indeed. Nobody could praise a good play so beautifully as this critic. Nobody could roast a bad play so tellingly. Listen. Here Is a sample." And the playwright read: "1 am in a somewhat foolish position concerning a play at the Opera Co rnique, whither I was bidden this day week. For some reason I was not supplied with a program, so that I never learned the name of the play. At the end of the second act the play had advanced about as far as an ordinary dramatist would have brought it five minutes after the first rising of the curtain, or, say, as far as Ibsen would have brought it ten years before that event. Taking advantage of the sec ond interval to stroll out into the Strand for a little exercise, I unfortu nately forgot all about my business and actually reached home before it occurred to me that I bad not seen the end of the play. Under these circum stances it would ill become me to dog matize on the merits of the work or Its performance. 1 can only offer the management my apologies." What the Jury Found. Sotne years ago the body of a well dressed man was found in a field on the outskirts of an English town There were no marks of violence, and It was doubtful whether death had oc curred from natural causes or if the Individual had committed suicide. In due course the body was identified, and a gentleman who had been ac quainted with the deceased was called upon to give evidence at the inquest Among other things, lie stated that he had always considered him to be a man of marked idiosyncrasies, and his brain was continually excited by his Irresist ible fondness for chimeras of vari ous kinds. The jury was evidently satisfied with his statement and im mediately brought in a verdict that "death was caused by idiosyncrasies forming on the brain in consequence of excessive Indulgence in chimeras," adding a rider that "it should be a warning to people to refrain from that and other intoxicating beverages." Suburban Suburbs. A flat dweller, having selected what he thought was a pretty good thing in one of the suburban towns as a place of residence, took liis wife out to look at it. The rent was delight ful, but the house was on the very rim of the town. The wife disap- Proved. -~ - • - "What's the mailer with it?" he asked testily, for he had had a hard time finding it.
