A report here states that Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, brother of ex-President Taft, and chief owner of the Chicago National League Baseball club, has disposed of his holdings in the ball club, and that John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, acted

as agent for the purchasers, whose identity is unknown.

For his share in the deal McGraw is said to have received five per cent of the amount involved. The deal is said to have been put

inrougn in Cincinnati.

A headline reads: "Expert tells how cashier, kept books." Is that all? Man who escaped from the county jail says that his mind Is settled now that he has been .recaptured. It will be for some time evidently. A local physician is reported to be going from bad to worse. No, he is not drinking, merely visiting his patients. The former Helen Gould, now Mrs. Findley Sheppard, has adopted an orphan boy. We were born a number of years too soon to have any such luck. People go out to the woods and parks and spend the day admiring the beauty of the falling leaves and then come home at night and smell 'em burning, and often admiration turns to contempt.

the Austro-German armies of invasion in Servia all along the line were reported today by. the German general staff. Passages over the Tamnava River were captured while the armies of Gen. Von Gollwitz and Gen. Von Koess drove the Germans from their position. In the extreme northeastern section of Servia, the Austro-German forces that crossed the Danube near Orasva have advanced as far as Sip. In the western theatre of war the Germans repulsed strong French attacks in the Campagne region and inflicted heavy- losses upon the attacking forces.

Correct. The married man roams round the town. He won't stay home, the pup, . For when he tries to settle down, His wife will stir him up. Never tell anybody that you're 111 for it will only give them a chance to suggest a remedy. Safety first. Even the battles fought In the European war have been put in the back ground since the president became engaged. It is of farmore importance to learn that Mrs. Gait dined at the capitol or. went automobiling than it is to learn of a German . victory. Such is fame. A Philadelphia man comes forth with the statement that bulldogs can reason. We met one once that didn't. "More paper money needed" quotes a headline. Quite right, old top.

The plants were shipped from Belgium, into Holland and from there were shipped to the United States. Mr. Hill admitted that he was surprised to have received the shipment, having labored under the impression that all Belgian industry bad been paralysed by the war. "Apparently the Germans have reestablished trade conditions in Belglum upon a normal basis again." he said. "German thoroughness is reflected by the fact that the azalea shipment we received had been stamped as inspected and approved by the government etomoligist-" .
