PITCHER WILLETT HAS AD
VANCED IDEA ON SHORT
ENING GAMES.
Edgar Willett, the Detroit
pitcher, has advanced an idea
as to a method of shortening
baseball games, though it is not
original with him.
Edgar caught the idea while
watching Sam Crawford amble
around the bases after smashing
the ball into the bleachers for a
home run.
"Why not permit' Crawford to
run to first and then return to
the bench instead of consuming
a minute or so walking about the
sacks?" says Edgar.
"There are. we'll say. fifty
home runs hit in the American
league each season. That means
an hour wasted. Every one
knows the hit is a home run
when it drops 'into the bleachers
or goes over the fence, so what's
the use of wasting time and ef

claim to distinction lies in the fact
that be is the only player in the big
leagues who was ever traded for him
self. Washington sent Hughes to Minne
apolis a few years ago with the under
standing that Griff was to have the
pick of the team at the end of the
season. When It came time for Wash
ington to make its selection Hughes
was picked. And the pitcher's record
with Washington since then proves
him to be a good pick.

A Theory
By GRACE OGLES BY
This ts en k.:e of reform or at least
new formations, and such an age la
always attended by a 'certain amount
of hysteria. '. When people leave a
beaten track to strike out into new
paths they are liable to bewilderment,
and so when they find or believe they
have found that they have been influ
enced by false ideas In seizing new
ones they are prone to jump from the
frying pan into the fire. More than
this, they are liable to Jump from
terra firma into water altogether too
deep for them.
One of the new departures of the
present day is a dissatisfaction with
marriage . as we In America have
known it Kent Blakeman's father
and mother had lived together com
fortably, bringing up half a dozen
children. Kent at twenty-five discov
ered that they had taken a great risk
In binding themselves bo closely to
gether that there was no easy way for
them to break the chain. In their
case fortunately they had not wished
to break it But as for him, he did
not intend thus to tie himself up. He
believed in experimental marriage. If
he married he would reserve the right
to leave his wife as soon as he' ceased
to love her. and she should have the
same privilege with regard to him.
Miss Estelle Woodruff, being about
the same age as Blakeman, also grew
up in the same atmosphere of hyster
ical reform.. She heard persons talk
ing' about the frequency of divorce,
marriage being a failure and kindred
subjects, and her mind was very sus
ceptible to absorb new theories. Blake
man found few women to sympathize
with him in his notions about mar
riagemost reforms begin with a
paucity of numbers and when he met
Miss Woodruff and made an easy con-
vert of her he was much pleased with
her that is. he was much pleased
with himself, for having struck Into a
new path and considered the girl
above the ordinary in that she bad
appreciated his ideas.
There is an infinite variety of mental
structure among human beings. Blake
man, who married Miss Woodruff, was
of a different brain. He kept on de
veloping in his anti-marriage theories,
while she, with the coming of children,
ceased to take an interest in them and
at last turned against them. .
Perhaps it was the discovery that
he had been mistaken in his wife's
mental caliber that started him in his
idea that they were not fitted for each
other Their union had lost its romance
and was becoming humdrum. It seem
ed to him that the connubial kiss morn
ing and night had lost its zest He had
asserted when a bachelor that the hon
eymoon should last always and that
when it hud completely waned it was
time for the couple to separate and
each lind a new mate.
Time came when Blakeman conclud
ed to "be true to himself." as he put
it, and claim the privilege he had re
served for himself when he married.
He made several attempts to get his
courage up to a point where he could
tell his wife that she was not his af
finity and that he proposed to free him
self from her and make another trial
to find a real and lasting mate. At last
he succeeded
Between a passing influence In youth
and a woman who had been made over,
so to speak, by the possession of-two
little children a boyand a girl there
was an enormous difference. She was
not only surprised by her husband's
announcement; she was thunderstruck.
But if she had not developed she
had Insensibly come into, a lot of
horse sense. To attempt to argue her
husband out of his nonsense she knew
would be futile. To oppose him would
be equally so. Moreover, she remem
bered that at the time of her marriage
she had coincided with his views. It
was he who had been consistent, she
who had changed. It had been mu
tually agreed that when either wished
for freedom it should be granted.
She held to her agreement thoug"h
she recognized the outcome as a great
misfortune. But she was a plucky as
well as a proud woman and gave no
sign of what a blow she suffered. The
prenuprial agreement gave the children
if any came-to the mother, and this
was. of course, a godsend fo her. She
wondered as she looked back when the
provision was made that she had very
nearly assented to a conditional propo
sition to divide the children between
husband and wife.
When all preliminary arrangements
bad been made Mrs. Blakeman and her
children the little ones being igtfo
rant of the separation of their parents
took a train for the mother's birth
place, where they expected to live.
Blakeman saw them off and as the
train was starting kissed them all and
left the car
He stood on the platform, looking
after them as they rolled out of the
station, and all of a sudden a great
light broke In upon bis. brain, and he
said to himself:
"What Hn addle pated ninny I have
made of myself!"
Going to the ticket office, he bought
a ticket for the next train to" follow
them, and the same night when the
mother was ruefully hearing the chil
dren say their prayers-J the father
swooped down on them like a cyclone
and took them all in one embrace.
Has Rlakeman given up theory?
Never: His theory now is that the
family Is nil there is In the world
worth living for. and hereafter he pro
poses to live for his family only Since
his theory Is sound all are happy.

A Transmigration
Story
. By F. A. MITCHEL
In the city of Bungalore In India,
one Kadur, an old man, lay dying. His
wife knelt by his bedside there were
no children waiting , for the end and
praying to" Vishnu in his behalf. In
India they believe in the transmigra
tion of souls, and the woman prayed
that in order that 6he might have her
husband near her bis spirit might pass
into the body of one of her pets, of
which she had a great many. When
she was satisfied that he was dead she
left the body where it lay and. weep
ing, went out to another room. As she
opened the door she saw in the middle
of the floor a tiny monkey that bad
just been born looking up at her with
a peart face and a pair of bright eyes
Whether or not it was her imagination
that made this human-like countenance
appear in her eyes to resemble her late
husband it is Impossible to say. Cer
tain it is that she took the little crea
ture up in her arms and hugged It to
her bosom, at the same time thanking
her god that he had answered her
prayer for she did not doubt that the
soul of him she loved had passed Into
the body of the monkey just born.
Now, the woman was rich, and this is
what she did. She made a will, leav
ing all her property to the monkey so
long as it lived, and at Its death it
was to go to her nephew. Rustom, a
boy of whom she was very fond. She
also bequeathed the monkey to a wo
man In whom she had great confidence,
who was to have a large sum for its
care as long as it lived. It was thus
made the interest of its keeper to pre
serve its life as long as possible.
The widow lived three years after
her husband's death. When she died
her nephew. Rustom. was about eight
een years old and had a sweetheart.
Naturally he wished to marry and
needed the money.
But the womani Dulmara. who was
getting large pay for taking care of
her ward, realizing that Rustom was
interested In its death, redoubled her
efforts to keep the monkey alive. She
put it in a wing of the house, had
iron bars put on all the windows, and
no one was permitted to go in to it
without passing through apartments
occupied by herself.
But these precautions were not nec
essary, for Rustom had been brought
up to believe that his uncle's soul was
in the monkey and if he killed it he
would be guilty of a crime. But Agya.
the girl he wished to marry, had been
to a Christian mission school and did
not believe in the transmigration theo
ry. She could not see why a monkey
should prevent her and the youth she
loved from enjoying a fortune. In
deed, she thought no more of killing a
monkey than a dog. Besides, it was
plain that Dulmara might at the mon
key's death substitute another monkey
in its place and keep on thus substi
tuting monkeys till the crack of doom.
She therefore determined that the lit
tle beast should die.
Fortunately for her intention, Rus
tom's love for her was not known to
Dulmara. nor had Dulmara ever seen
her.
One day Agya appeared to Dulmara
and said that she had a singular dreamt
But before she told the dream she look
ed about her at the pets which were
wandering around. A hen was sitting
on some eggs', upon seeing which Agya
told her dream. She said that a woman
had appeared to her in her sleep and
said that her husband's soul was in a
moukey in a house which she described.-
The wman herself had died and
passed into the body of a cow (sacred
in India). The cow was about to die,
and the woman's spirit had been per
mitted by Vishnu to be born in the
house where her husband lived in a
monkey's body. She would come out
of an egg. The girl was instructed to
go to the house described, and the first
chicken hatched in that house would
contain the spirit of the wife of the
man whose spirit inhabited the mon
key. She-was to have the care of the
chicken.
There is no end to the superstition in
the people of India, and Dulmara be
lieved the story. While the two were
talking a wee chick picked through
the shell of an egg, and this settled the
matter. Dulmara did not dare to turn
Agya away for fear of the wrath of the
tiny bird which might contain the, soul
of her from whom she drew her sti
pend. The girl was Rt once taken into
the household and given the care of the
chickeu. She took it in to see the mon
key, but the little brute evidently did
not recognize it as Its wife, for if per
mitted to get at it would have eaten it.
Agya, having effected an entrance to
the household as well as access to the
monkey, lost no time in carrying out
the rest of her plan. Soon after her
arrival the monkey sickened and died
the next day.
Though Agya did Dot admit that she
had poisoned the monkey, she threw off
the sham she bad put on and, leaving
her little ward to take care of itself,
went to Rustom and told him that he
had succeeded to his fortune. She be
ing a witness to the death of the mon
key, he had no trouble in securing his
property. The two were married, but
Agya did not then dare to tell her hus
band that she bad killed the monkey
lest he consider her a murderess.
Years after, when she had converted
him to her religion, she confessed. He
was scarcely prepared for such a sin.
and in order to make him feel more
comfortable she told him that his uncle
had apper.red to her In the form of n
bird of paradise and thanked her for
poisoning It.
Rocks That Float In Water.

business can name a. dozen or twenty
different specimens of rocks and min
erals that have less specific gravity
than ' water and which will, if tossed
into that element float on the surface.
Hubelite'is one of the best known rep
resentatives of that class. The com
mon pumice stone is another example.

gravity known Is damari. a substance

BERRIES ARE POOR
Strawberries continue to . be the
feature of the market, with a sharp
drop in price. 'Southern Oregon ber
ries seem to be badly sunburnt, and
are being quoted at about a dollar un
der ruling values, or on a par with
California fruit. Other state berries
are holding well, the. best varieties
being from the lower Willamette and
Clackamas valley, and from Washing
ton. Evergreen state cberries are par
ticularly good this year, and are
topping the market.
Eggs continue to be' one of the
weird features of the Portland mar
kets, though in local buying and sell
ing centres ' they are holding in the
neighborhood of 22 cents. In Port
land much seems to depend upon the
feeling of the buyer, and alleged
"fresh" eggs are to be found quoted
from 17 to 25 cents. Best eggs are
being sold direct by poultrymen, as
heretofore, to consumers and smaller
