The enormity of the offense, we imagine, would depend on whether he chews fine or cut plug. High heeled fehoes are causing women to develop a new heel where their toes ought to be. As Hamlet so beautifully expresses it: "We should worry." at Starkey rounding tip the stock and finishing seeding. . He expects to move on the farm during the sum mer and will prove himself to be .worthy successor of Mr, Alden. Mr. and Mrs. Alden are preparing to take immediate possession of their new property . and - are now packing their household goods for shipment Mr, Alden has been con nected with stock business for many years and his many friends hope he will succeed as ' well in his new en terprise as he has in the past. It is understood the consideration was in the neighborhood of $30,000. Next month Sumter, S. C, eele- experience with porters. eratea tne xirst anniversary oi its adoption of the "city manager' plan of municipal government This system differs from the commission ' form of government in that the com missioned, instead of giving all their time to the city, keep on with their private business and delegate their authority to a hired, manager. This manager need not be a resident of the city. When Sumter advertis ' ed for a man to fill the job 145 ans ' wers were received. The applicants bailed from all over the country, A i young , railroad engineer, Malsolm McLean Worthington, a native of Maryland, was selected. His salary ' is $2,600 a year. ' The mayor of the - city, who is one of the three eom . missioners, receives the merely nominal sum of '$300 a year, while the other -two get $200. . Under the f 'commission plan 'as it is authorized by the South . Carolina" legislature .' mayor was to. receive $1,200 a year am) the other. two $1,000 each. . Un der the alternative adopted the total expenses for Mlariej amounts to the same sum, $3,200 a year.. 3 JThe advantages of the city man gW pi"" " t0. be. com plete unification of the administra tive establishment It makes it pos sible to secure a permanent prof es sional administrator. German cities, it will be recalled have professional mayors. A man starts in running : a small city and, if he makes good, he is soon called to a larger munici pality. Thus a class trained to this particular work is built up. The ad vantages are reflected in the greater : results secured for less money in the German cities. Another point about the city man ager plan is that it leaves the peo ple free to choose candidates simply as representatives, unlimited by any implied requirement as to executive experience or capacity to earn a large salary. It abandons what has been called the unscientific plan of attempting to select executive ex perts by popular elections. The ex pert usually is not a vote getter. Under this system he only has to prove his ability to the three men St. Louis judge has decided that tipping a porter is a voluntary act. The iudee evidently has - not had The dynamite trust certainly owes a deep debt of gratitude to the Eng lish suffragettes who promise to tide it over an otherwise dull season . ... v:r ; A man's ability as a gardener is now - determined by . whether he is able to tell right off the bat whether radishes or turnips are coming up. If the prince of Wales ever does get to New York the prospect of being a king in his -own country will lose its glamour.

The Cadets playing in junior circles have , won four games and lost one. The Cadets played a good game and although the Bears hit often, could not get in more than 5 runs. . i , Saturday Game Excellent. ,. Walla Walla, May 26. Big Jan.es was all to .the good. Saturday and despite an ninth inning rally by the Bears, La Grande won ; 4 snappy, game. ' ; It was a close game! clear through but Greene was hit hard in the fourth, .and Jamison,, pitching in his usual form, was too s much for the old-timer. Jamison had things much his own way, and kept his hite scat tered, only five men dying on bases for Walla Walla, while La Grande had twice that many on. Jamison walked but one man Kelly, in the ninth and that . looked like a delib erate piece of head work on the part of Carl King. :: The score:,, . ,.: .

Harmon did the stellar work with the bat. In . four times up he got three hits, one a 'three-bagger. But he made a poor peg to Sheely in the ninth, letting Naughton to second after he had singled. Naughton hit harder yesterday than ever before on the local grounds. He got two hits in three times up and walked the other trip he made to the plate. Walters made an unassisted double in the fifth. Johnson beat out a slow grounder, and was ready to beat it for second; infact, he was just getting under way for Greene's low liner looked like a hit. Walters went up after it however, and brought it down. He tried to tag Johnson, then thought a little base ball and beat it back to the bag, and the side was out. It was a mighty close decision Burnside pulled off in calling Jami son out in the third retiring the side. Jamison hit to Sheely, who fumbled and fell, but tossed to Greene as the latter ran to the bag.

Burn side ordered him and had to get the police to enforce his order. Burnside looked off on several decisions, mostly favoring the home team. But in the main his worK was good, although the players are in clined to argue with him at times. Baker Takes Last Game. Baker, May 26. When Ford, the first man at bat for the iiravs, found Coleman for a three bagger, and Fuller followed with a single, scoring Ford, it looked like an off day for the Baker lad. He appar ently settled down and i!!i"ved the visitors only two more runs in the fifth. Baker's infield prvsciited a change in front Saturday. Roben was brought from rigu. field to second. Rock going to si irt stop in place of Gleason, who is mighty unpopulur with the fans here, K rouse worked in the right gardfii.
