gridiron and diamond What Decatur Teams Have Done the Past Week. The Decatur High School foot ball team were defeated at Warren Saturday by a score of 6 to 5 which would in itself indicate that it certainly was a foot hall game. The Warren team out weighed the boys from here twenty pounds to the man, but with all this the boysi stubbornly fought every inch of ground andJWurren’ s touch down was only secured after one of the hardest struggles ever witnessed on a gridiron. Warren made their touch down in the first half by straight line bucking and at the end of the first half the score was 6to 0 in their favor, but at the beginning of the second half the Decatur boys appeared with blood in their eye, and after 15 minutes of play and on an end run by Coffee of thirty five yards having secured the ball on a fumble Decatur scored, and would have tied the score only for an error of judgment by a Decatur quarterback who after the score had been secured and the’’ try for goal was being made dropped the ball on the ground and the whole Warren team were upon it at once, and Decatur’s last chance was gone. Taking it all in all it being Decatur's first appearance this season the boys are certainly entitled to a great amount of credit and from all reports with the material on hand the team will take good care of itselfjthis season. The boys all express themselves that they never treatment and should Warren play here they will be accorded the same

treatment. It is all over now, and the Rosenthals can still lay claim to thecham pionship of Decatur, Sa nday de touting the All Professionals by a score of 3to 2, and the score certainly indicates that the Rosenthals did not have a walk away. It was a struggle from the first to the last inning, and only up until the last put out was made were the Rosenthals sure of victory. The battle commenced promptly at two thirty 7 with the All Professionals at bat and they were retired in one two three order, and it looked easy for the Rosenthals but on the other hand the Rosenthals were handed the same dose, and neither side scored until the fourth inning when each team scored one run. In the fifth the All Professionals assumed the lead and held it until the sixth inning when the Rosenthals again tied up the score and for the remainder of the game the All Professionals were blanked although they threw away several good chances to score by nad base running. In the eighth inning the Rosenthals scored the run that won the game and the All Professionals went down in defeat but not disgraced. Undoubtedly the feature of the game was the work of Tom Railing in fielding his position as pitcher as he time and time again stopped batted balls that had all the ear marks’of base hits, also must all due credit be given to the whole All Professional team as they put up one of the fastest games of ball witnessed here this summer and their all around work was fast. This being their second appearance shows that they have some good material and are able to play the game from A to_Z. The game "was witnessed by a small

An example that can never be overlooked when the right of an ambassador to exercise his own discretion is in question is that which occurred in the career of Lord Lyons when he was our ambassador to the United States. He was a persona grata there. “All I can say, Lord Lyons, is. ‘Go thou and do likewise,’ ” was Abraham Lincoln’s genial method of receiving the British ambassador’s announcement of the Prince of Wales' marriage. Lord Lyons did not take the advice, but he remained a very effective ambassador in spite of his bachelorhood. When the grave difficulty over the Mason and Slidell case arose Lord Lyons was instructed from home to present an ultimatum. afford twelve hours for Its acceptance. and, the latter not being forthcoming, he was to break off relations and leave the country. The twelfth hoar expired. Slidell and Mason were not surrendered and there remained apparently only the dire prospect of war. “Give me anotiier twelve hours.” said Seward, the secretary of state. It was an entire contradiction of official orders, but. nevertheless, “I will,” said Lyons. From 6 o'clock that night until 6 the next morning Seward battled with the recalcitrants. Then Lyons received an intimation that the Confederate envoys would be given up. So by the insubordination of an ambassador war was saved. —St. James Gazette. Bismarck’s Best Cigrar. Uniike Napoleon. Bismarck was a hard smoker. He once told this story to illustrate his love of the weed: “The value of a good cigar is best understood when it is the last you possess and there is no chance of getting another. At Koeniggraetz I had only one cigar left in my pocket, which I carefully guarded during the battle as a miser guards his treasure. I did not feel justified in using it. I painted in glowing colors in my mind the happy hour when I should enjoy it after the victory, but I had miscalculated my chances. A poor dragoon lay helpless, with both arms crushed, murmuring for something to refresh him. I felt in my pockets and found only gold, which would not be of the least use to him. But stay! 1 had still my treasured cigar. I lighted it for him and placed it between his teeth. You should have seen the poor fellow’s grateful smile. I never enjoyed a cigar so much as that one which I did not smoke.” The Ansel Child. “Martha.” said her mamma. "I trust that while you were at your Aunt Martha's you said nothing to offend her.” “Oh, no, mamma.” declared the angel child. “I was careful to say things which would make her know that you and papa liked her for herself alone.” “That was proper.” "SV” n she asked me if yon folks had named me Martha so that she would leave us her money when »he dies I told her that papa and you had talked about that and that papa said we mustn’t think of such a thing. “And what did she say?” asked mamma eagerly. “Nothing. She just laughed and said I was a good girl and I'd better run along home when I told her what papa said about her going to have a pocket made in her shroud.”—Chicago Tribune.. .... Condiments and Dicestton. People with weak digestions will alments. as the tendency of these things is to stimulate the glands of the stomach and cause them to produce a larger supply of digestive juices. Pepper, mustard and other like spices stir up the liver and are useful to people who from necessity or other causes lead sedentary lives. Vinegar dissolves the cellulose in raw vegetables, and that is why it tastes so well with cabbages and salads, for there is no better judge than the palate of what is good for the stomach. The oil is added because it protects the stomach from the biting acid. The Thumb. Thumbs have been appreciated ever since the world began. The ancients used to call the thumb the other hand. Barbarous kings used to swear and make compacts by their thumbs. In Home it was a sign of favor to wring and kiss the thumb and of disfavor or disgrace to lift it up or turn it outward. A man who was hurt in his thumbs was excused from serving In the Roman wars. Some of the scoundrelly citizens used to cut off their thumbs so ns to remain at home and get rich. Teachers used to punish their pupils by biting their thumbs. Encouragement For the Boy. Patsy—Mom, won’t yer gimme me candy now ?

THE EYES. • < Black or very dark eyes denote a capacity for extreme ardor in love. Greenish tints in blue or hazel eyes are the signs of wisdom and courage. Steel colored eyes usually denote a cold nature, also deceit and treachery. Russet brown eyes, untinged by yellow. mean an affectionate and gentle disposition. Dark blue eyes while indicating affection and purity, do not represent intellectuality. Variable gray eyes are highly intellectual and indicative of an impulsive and impressionable temperament. Clear light blue eyes, especially if accompanied by steadfastness of expression, denote cheerfulness, amiability and constancy. Tawny eyes denote fickleness. Eyes of no particular color, only feeble shades of gray and blue, go with lymphatic dispositions, characterized by coldness, selfishness and listlessness. INTERESTING READING. The grower of fruits needs to keep well informed regarding the latest experiments along the line of horticulture. The experiment stations throughout the country are constantly endeavoring to improve the quality of fruit produced, and if one would keep posted on the subject, a horticultural publication must be subsenbedfor and read. The North American Horticulturist, published monthly at Monroe, Mich., by the Greening Bros. Nursery Co., whose advertisement appears in another column, gives these reports complete as well as seasonable hints regarding the care of fruit and ornamental trees. There is also a department devoted to forestry, another to civic improvement, beautifying the home surroundings etc. The subscription price is 50 cents per year. This publication has an immense circulation covering the country. It was started in 1895 by the C r eening Bros, for the purpose of instructing their customers regarding toe care of fruit and ornamental trees. The paper filled a long a felt want, and subscriptions came in so rapidly that they were compelled to enlarge the paper. Sixteen pages are now printed every month. Sample copies are free, Every fruit grower should have it. PILES FISTULA DR. H. 0.
