Following la an Interesting atory
told by Hugh S. Kullertuu I d the
American Magazine, In an article ile-
acrlblng freak plays that have won
baseball games:
“ On the old Washington grounds,
when Washington waa In tbe National
league, ibe players left tbe Held by
passing under tbe stands, and the en
trance to tbe passage was closed by
a cellar door arrangement which
aloped down to tbe ground. Tbe doorm.
of coune. were kept closed during
games, but at tbe top, cut lu tbe
plauks o f tbe stand, waa a small
square bole to permit tbe players to
reacb through and unlatch tbe doors
when they desired to leave the field.
"During one game I saw a ball,
which hud been thrown wild to tbe
plate I d an effort to cut off the tying
run, roll up tbe doors and disap|>ear
through that bole. Tbe batter circled
tbe bases and scored tbe winning run.
The Chicago club, under Anson, was
beateu and protested tbe game ou tbe
grouDd that tbe opening existed In
violation of tbe rules, lu the lnveatl
gallon o f the comphiliit an attempt
waa made to force a ball through tbe
bole. and. although It was pounded
with a bat, tbe ball refused to pass
Ibrougb tbe bole uutil tbe cover gave
way.
“ After that almost every team that
came ou tbe grotmda tried to put bulls
through tbe bole aud tailed.
How
that thrown ball managed to twist its
way through tbe aperture never bas
been explained satisfactorily.”
HINDU JUSTICE
The Case of the Cat That Carried the
Fire to tho Cotton.
Four Hindus, partners lu business,
bought some cottoD bales. That tbe
rata might not deatroy the cotton they
purchased a ca t They agreed that
each of the four should owu a par­
ticular leg of the cat, and each adorn
ed with beads aDd other ornaments
tbe leg thus apportioned to him. The
cat, by an accident. Injured one of Its
legs
Tbe owner of that member
wound around It a rag soaked I d oil.
Tbe cat. going too near (be beartb,
set this rag on fire and, being In great
pain, rushed lu amoug the cotton bales,
wbere she was accustomed to bunt
rata. Tbe cotton thereby took fire and
was burnt up.
Tbe three other partners brought a
suit to recover the value o f the cottoD
against tbe fourth partner who owued
this particular leg of tbe ca t Tbe
native judge examined tbe cuae. aDd
this was bis decision:
“Tbe leg that bad tbe oiled rag oa It
was hurt. Tbe cat could not use that
leg. In fa c t It held up that leg aud
ran with tbe other three legs
The
three iinlmrt legs therefore carried the
fire to the cotmn and are alone cul­
pable
I he Injured iee Is not to be
blamed I he three partners who own­
ed the three legs wltn whu-li the cal
ran to the rottou win pay one quarter
of tbe value of tbe hu es to the partner
who was tbe proprietor of the myured
leg.” —Loudon Telegraph.

A certain Atossa in early Roman days

“ Ye*, Madam, this fabric shows identically the
Mine details and color as would be shown in broad day­
light Y o u see I'm displaying the goods under the clear
white rays of this wonderful new General Electric Mazda
Lamp. It's really the equivalent of daylight, and that's
why all up-to-date stores are using it. O f course there
are also other vital reasons, one of which is this: the G -E
Mazda Lamp gives t w ic e the light of the ordinary car­
bon incandescent lamp — and c o s t s le ss to burn.'*
T h e invention of the Mazda Lamp has caused thous­
ands of people to have their houses and stares wired for
electric light. If you are n o t now using it, come in
for a moment to-day and let us p r o v e to your entire
satisfaction that this wonderful new lamp has made
electric light as cheap as it is convenient.
