These players choose sides and proceed to play ball.. A/sorJ rect sentence, using one of the designated words, Is a safe hit and gets the batter to first base. Similarly a cor- • | rect sentence will get the runner from j one base to another. Four correct • I sentences, therefore, are necessary to I I make a tally. An. incorrect sentence 1 1 put*-the better owt> or puts the run* ' Ler out Three men out will put the 1 1 side out and the other side then has ’I an Inning. Nine inpings make a game. r Tallies ar* counted to determine which [•Me win*. \ 1 The language ball game is but one H feature of a pamphlet written by A> Hgistant Superintendent Bunnell on

among the school teachers of the state. While not intended as « humorous treatise on "English as she is spoke” tn Indiana, the pamphlet calls attention to Many Hoosier expressions that border on the comical and offers interesting suggestions as to methods by which a general grammatical uplift may be brought about. The spelling uplift was started by Dr. Robert J. Aley, former state superintendent, several weeks ago, and is now making progress by means of spelling matches in the schools throughout the state, but it remains for Superintendent Greathouse to get the uplife in grammar under way. He fully indorses the criticisms and remedies offered by Mr. Bunnell. —Indianapolis Star. ■. v- ..ifrfa,,;.. —e J Charging that other operators of illegal gaming houses in this city are being given ponce protection, Robert Crabb, tobacco dealer, who was arrested tor conducting games, now says he la going to clean up the city.

she .will enter the order of the slaters of St. Agneq, and where the mother house of the order is located. Miss Ehlnger, who has chosen this life of secuMoa from the world, has been carefully studying the matter over for several years, and It is her desire to enter the convent, where she r.<n better devote her life to God. Just what she will prepare herself for she is not at present able lo state, but will follow one of the many hseful ways which the order affords those who wish to enter upon this life. It will require several years before she will be required to take all the vows of the order, so as to be able to ascertain whether dr not this is the calling which she wishes to follow. This is the order with which the Sisters of the St Joseph’s schools of this city are connected, and she has been aided in many ways, through their wise counsel to the step which she is about to take. At present there are quite a number of young ladies at this place from Decatur. Miss Stella Kohne, who left last August, was the last one to enter from here, and Miss Bertha.

He had gone to the office of Dr. Coverdale and obtained some medicine and started home.

He was also taken with severe pains caused from the liver and these went to the heart, and for a while his condition was considered serious. A hypodermic injection was necessary to quiet the pain and not until the day was over did he rest easier. He passed a very restless night, but this morning was some better, ft, will be some time before he will be able to be up and around. < w 1 MRS. SCHERRY OPERATED ON. Rev. and Mrs. C. T.
