“Tommy” Kevin Writes a Letter To Our Baseball Manager.

"Tommy” Kevin, the midget third baseman who played with the Wrens last year, has written a letter to Manager L. A. Harmon, stating that he will be glad to get a berth here again this year. He. states that he has an offer to play with Joe Graber’s “Webers,” a new semi-pro team, but thinks ’he would sooner come to Rensselaer. And then he gives himself away as follows: “The truth is, I rather like the little trip to “Wrenville” and the fun that goes with it,” having reference, of course, to the ladies, for whom “Tommy” had a inarked admiration. He says Hanks is at his old tricks, allowing Lake Forest University only 3 hits, and that he himself is hitting like a fool and playing generally “clear over my head.” He asks to have his regards given to the faithful fans and his love to the charming “fannettes” and closes by saying that "a soft day job helps one’s batting average” which is interpreted to mean that if “Tommy” could land a job that wasn’t too hard, he would come here to stay during the baseball season. A funny incident ocurred at the last game of baseball at Oxford. There were a warm lot of rooters lined up along the 3d base line and they were having it nip and tuck with “Tommy” who held his own with the combined lot for some time. Finally “Tommy” went after a grounder which slipped up his sleeve and got away from him and the Oxford partisans went wild with their taunts. It was coming a little too strong for oven good-natured Kevin to stand and when one of the Oxford rooters rudely jabbed him with a stick, “Tommy” turned around and called him something that would not look good in print. There was a general advance toward him with a demand that he “take it back.” He moved over from the 3d base and when he heard the demand for his withdrawal of the objectionable language he turned against his assailants and said by way of justification: “Aw, go wan, didn’t ye see him prod me in de ribs mit de stick.” The expression of disgust and anger on his face was amusing and had the effect of stopping the assault, but after the game was over and as “Tommy’ was in an automobile ready to start back home, five or six big ruffians came up to the machine and threatened to take him out and thrash him unless he apologized for his language. And having a date With a girl that evening and wishing to look as presentable as possible, “Tommy” took ’er back and the incident was closed. The Wrens wouldn’t look quite right this year without the midget at the three-quarters post. “Generally debilatcd for years. Had sick headaches, lacked ambition, was worn-out and all run-down. Burdock’s Blood Bitters made me a well woman ’’ —Mrs. Chas. Freitoy, Moosup, Conn.

Halley’s Comet Is Very Faint When Viewed with Naked Eye.

Many people have been looking for Halley’s comet in the early mornings, and several have telephoned the Republican that they have seen it, but since they described it as very brilliant, it is quite probable that all are mistaken, and that they have seen Venus, the morning star, instead of the heavenly tramp. The comet can only be seen when conditions are the most favorable and then it is very dim, but it will increase in brightness every morning. Today, Thursday, it arose at 3:57 a. m. and tomorrow it will arise at about 3:50 and the next day at about 3:40. Its hourly'speed is about 108,720 miles. It can best be seen at about the break of day, 8 degrees north of east. By the granting of' a franchise, to the Eastern Illinois Traction company in West Hammond, Hammond has been made the interurban gateway into Illinois and one of the most important interurban railway centers in the west. When new interurbans about to be built are added to those already in Hammond, fourteen electric railways will focus in the city and connect the Illinois and Indiana systems.

Winona Technical Institute May Be Sold to Pay Indebtedness.

The Winona Technical Institute of Indianapolis, where several Rensselaer young men have learned or are learning trades, is having a hard time financially and Chas. A. Bookwaiter who was recently appointed receiver of the institution, is now in New York trying to raise money by the sale ol bonds to keep the school on its feet. It is a splendid technical or trades school and its failure would be calamity that should be averted ii possible. The state lends cheerful aid to other schools where the professions and sciences are taught and if it is needed, this school should have aid from the state for it is fitting many young men for the important trades of the time. Leonard Turner, of Monticello, was probably the first young man to work in Rensselaer after completing the linotype course. He was followed by George Babcock, who took linotype instruction and fitted himself to run the Mergenthaler machine in bis father’s printing office. Ernest Clark, who runs the Republican’s Mergenthaler linotype machine, also secured his technical instruction there and Harve Robinson is taking that course now. Hurley Beam is taking a course in printing art and press work and James George, John Robinson and John Morgan are each taking a course in mantle and tile setting. Unless Receiver Bookwaiter is able to raise the money the institution will be advertised Friday of this week and sold at sheriff’s sale. The attendance at this school is reported to be good but for some reason it does not seem to be on the right basis in order to make it a success financially. It. is probable that if sold, some means will be made for continuing it in business. George Fate- did not care for Chicago. He says it is too crowded and that he told several people that he did not like the idea they have there of living on top of each other as they do in the big apartment houses. George told them there was lots of room on the ground floor at Rensselaer and asked all who are interested to get into communication with the Commercial Club. He said he never saw such dinged tall buildings and narrow streets and that he stood with his vest against one building and the seat of his pants against another on the opposite side of the street and couldn’t see the top. He thinks Chicago is a “dry” town, judging by the number of people who keep trying to quench their thirst at the various drink shops. There are a lot of people in Chicago who never taste water but they want to take a dose of quinine to get the taste out of their mouths. From what George could see and learn, Chicago’s 1910 enumeration will show that city to be larger than the combined population of Rensselaer and Fair Oaks, but he didn’t see a man leaving a 'restaurant that looked as happy as they do when they get outside of a meal at Fate’s Model. George had a pleasant visit with his brother and got back without losing his watch.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR.

It Is Easy to Get and Keep. When a fifty cent bottle of Parisian Sage will put life, lustre and brilliancy into any woman’s hair, why should any woman have repulsive of characterless hair, unless she wants to.

Fendig tc cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks, or money back. If you are troubled with disgusting dandruff, get rid of it as soon as you can.

Monnett Girls’ Home Remembered And Matron Expresses Gratitude.

The matron of the Monett School for Girls has been greatly pleased lately at several~gifts to the school. Rev. C. L. Harper, of Trinity M. E. church, and County Treasurer Allman have each been instrumental in securing considerable local aid, and many of the members of the church have given fruit and .other useful things to the school.

E. church at Lafayette. The band is composed of young people of the church and they sent $5 in money. More people at home could give some aid to this school, which is educating a number of young girls.
