Wolfe was in superb form all the way through the game, only three extra men facing him. In the first inning he gave Kipper a pass and yielded his first hu in the eighth to Coombs, a scratch hit. Wideman singled to right field but was caught at second trying to make a two bagger, and Kipp walked in the ninth, making the third extra man. Ferrell was taken out of ihe box at the end of the fifth inning, Coombs deserting second. After three runs had been made in the eighth McCarthy took the box, Laval going to first and no hits were made off him.

THHTS WHRT THEYRLL SAY orriNE bmcK Ernest Thompson Seton^s Wild Animal Friends (BY HARRY E. MAULE.) Skunks cannot be cleansed by heredity. But kindness wall make them friendly ahd affectionate pets, and even give them a place on the family hearth beside Old Puss as a mouser. A simple operation on a young skunk will remove forever its natural weapon, and prevent a tem peramental sknnk, w'hich though friendly, might otherwise fly into a sudden fit of anger and—w'eil, incur the enmity of trusting friends. Such were the facts as learned by a recent visitor at Vvyndygoul, Ern est Thompsons Seton’s country es tate at Cos Cob, Conn. A dozen or move skunks are learn ing new w'ays at Seton’s place, made famous by the Indians w'hose village was ca the plains just below theie, was made. ^ Asked if several generations of dcP“ mestication, and kindness would re sult'lii an evolutionary ^“Change which w'ould deprive thfe skunk of his natur* al weapon, the author said, “Certain ly not, unless t)red with that in view for hundreds of generations. But wo no longer believe in inherited mutilations.”. Down ther oad was another colony of skunks. These had all undergone the disarming operation when young. They w'ere in a cage near that of a Western plains Jack-rabbit. Seton brought tw^o full grown skunks into the cage with the rabbit. The Jack w'as a recent.comer from the plains of Manitoba.

Linn w’as Miss Shaw’s pupil, and, while learning languages, learned love also. Whenn Miss Shaw refus ed to marry her pupil, Linn shot her, on June 8, inflicting a slight wound. Immediately after shooting he drank poison, without effect. Last Saturday night he was found hanging in his jail cell and was cut down. W’hile being led from court today he tried to choke him self with a silk handkerchief, and it took five deputies to put him In handcuffs and a straightjacket. ‘ tIo' •i‘ L;»udcrrailk in 9th. ■n:n-- R.

The articles described the Federa tion as perpetual and the object as the "promotion of the art of self-gov ernment.” FURNACE BLAZE BURNS SEVEN. Youngstown, O., Aug. 26. While a party of workmen were in the cin der pit of one of the blast furnaces of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Com pan V, at East Youngstown, changing the “cinder monkey. a flash of gas from the furnace burn ed seven, three seriously. As noted yesterday a state-wide meeting has been called for Septem ber 12, at the Selwyn hotel in this city, at which time an organization as des ignated will be formed. It is expected that about 200, or 250 leading men of the state will be present at the or ganization meeting. The idea back of this back-home organization is to bring people into the state, people who perchance have not been "back-home” for years, who when they come will go back to the state to which they have drifted, tell ing of the new industrial life, the growth in population, and the rich de velopment and progress in all lines “back-home.” In this laudiable move, the Greaver Charlotte Club is to have the help of the Charlotte press. Of this President Kuester and Secretary Corwith were assured yesterday afternoon. The Pi®®' ent plan is to have two sessions at the and afternoon, and when the gentlemen who come to be charter members, as it were of the "back-home.” organization, or ganize it will be to form ulate a plan or tion which will stimulate patriotism, and further the industrial cial interests of the Old North State, which Dr. Paul Barringer has immor talized as “Down-home.” “ Betrayed by Cir Canary Birds as Luncheon vors.

He recommends the appointment of Marquis Saioni for that post. The cabinet of which Count Kat sura is premier and minister of fi nance was formed July 14, 1908. The resignation of Count Katsura was forecasted nearly a month ago, and it was known that many changes in the cabinet had been under consid eration for several months. her maturity and after she had won many of her sucesses- in the world of loterature. The romance connected w'lth her marriage to McCullough, some said was cleverly described in her story, “A Spinner of the Sun,’ publish ed about the time of her marriage in 1906. iss Reed, as she then was, was in her girlhood days one of the editors of the Voice, pubuished by the pupils at the Wes-t Division High School. James Sidney McCullough was editor of a col lege paper in Toronto, Canada. The Voice was on the exchange list. He admired the waitings of Miss Reed, and a correspondence betw^een' the two that ensued for a number of years was opened. n 1906 Miss Reed and McCullough, who had by that time made Chicago his home, slipped away quietly to Grand Haven, Mich., and were married. Mrs. McCullough was born and rear ed in Chicago and always had lived there. Myrtle Reed was the daughter of Hiram V. Reed, a scholar and maga zine founder, and Elizabeth A. Reed, author of “Hindu Literature,” “Pers-ian Literature” and “Primitive Buddhism.” Views Before and After Marriage, uefore her marriage Myrtle Reed, in giving vent to her expressions of love and faith, presumably speaking of her husband elect, wrote the following in “The Love Letters of a Musician;” “Sweet, brave soul, can you trust yourself to me for' all the years to come? It is not a promise, but a con sideration, when I say that you have placed your faith aright. It is the last time I can ever write to you, for I shall never leave your side again. “Because I love you better than all •the world. i shall follow you through whatever countries you may go, and at the end of the journey hold you fast— forever and a day.” Later, after marriage, she became a cynic and uttered these aphorisms; “Man is a cheap skate, and woman almost as bad.” “Eighty-six per cent of American women are virtually cave-dwellers.” “The only way to test a man is to marry him; if you live, it’& a mush room; if you die, it’s a toadstool.” Of modern wives, she wrote; “The wife gets her board, her clothes and a few kind words, while hervant in the kitchen gets her board, her clothes and $7 a week. If the average husband used the same language to his domes tics that he does to his wife, his skull would be corrugated from collisions with a rolling pin.” Views on Suicide In Novel by Myrtle Reed Probably Her Own. In a “Spinner in the Sun,” which is believed to be the story of her own romance, Myrtle Reed also expounded what probably were her views on sui cide. She ended her life as did Dr Anthony Dexter in her novel, with a drug. Her description of Dr. Dexter’s death follows; • • * Anthony Dexter, (a physi- sician) had cherished those sentiments about the end of life; to him it'had seemed much the same as the stop ping of a clock, and of as little mo ment. He had failed to see whysu ch a fuss- W’as made about the inevita ble, though he had at. times been scientifically interested in the hys terical effect he had produced in a household by announcing that with in an hour or so a particular human clock might be expected to stop. It had never occurred to him, either, that a man had not a well defined right to stop the -clock of his own being whenever it seemed desirable or expedient. Now he thought of death as the flhal, beautiful solution of all mun dane problems. If he were dead, Ralph could not look at him with contempt, de-veiled—or un-veiled — Evelina could not haunt him as she had, remorselessly, for months. Yes, death was beautiful, and he well knew how to make it sure. By one incredibly swift transition, his pain passed into an exquisite pleasure. The woman he loved was walking in the hall before him; the son he loved w'as downstairs. What man could have more? * * * far as possible Seton has kept trhe place in its natural state, so in the writing of his latest book, “Rolf in the Woods” now on the presses of Doubleday, Page & Co., the open ing chapters of which are laid around Ab’s Rock or Quonab’s Rock, just a few rods from where the author’s pa latial country home now stands, he has been able to see the scenes as they were in the declining days of the Indians along the shores of Long Island Sound. Seton’s sympathy and understand ing of the creatures that inhabit the woods and streams, as Rolf learned to know them, and as the Indians knew them before the w^hite man, included the beautiful, but formida ble skunk. “The Skunk is not a vicious nor a formidable animal,” said the naturalist-author, “w^hen Up socalled because of his comedjf^ antics, of standing on his head when in a- happy mood. Though Johnny, w’ould not perform for the visitors* (who hasn’t been out of patience with his pet dog “who’s almost hU'* man” for refusing to perform for visitors), both showed perfect friend*, liness with Seton, and even with the strangers. Seton held them in his lap, and fed them bits of meat, all of which they enjoyed hugely. They showed some interest in making th« acquaintance el the Jack-rabbit, but he still had too much of the untam* able spirit of the boundless plains to like it'. Still, by coaxing, the visitors managed to get some pictures of him, and of the skunks trying to make his acquaintance. '“You see, ’ said Seton, “skunks when, domesticated make a4mirabl« For sudden the worst turns the best to the brave. The black minute’s at ah end, And the elements’ rage, and the fiend voices that rave, Shall dwindle, shall blend,- Shall change, shall become first a peace out of pain. Then a light, then thy breast— Oh, thou soul of my soul, I shall clasp thee again, And with God be th^a rest! He smiles and the unveiled Eve lina smiled back at him with infinite tenderness, infinite love. Tonight be would sleep as he had not slept before—in the sleep that knows no waking. He had the tiny white tablets, plenty of them, but the fancy seized him to taste his last bitterness to the full. He took a phial from his chiffonier. Those white, blunt fin gers had never been more steady than now. He lifted the phial on high and poured out the laudanum, faltering no more than when he had guided the knife in an operation that made him famous throughout the state. He drank. The silken petals of the poppies crushed into the peace that passeth all understanding, be gan their gentle ministry. He made his way to his bedd, put up his can dle and lay down. The Spirit of the Poppies stood before him—a woman with a face like Evalina’s, but her garments were scarlet, and Evelina al- waj's wore black. And so, after a little, Anthony Dexter slept. The Spirit of the Pop pies had claimed her own at last. 'SETON HELD THE SKUNKS IN HIS LAP AND FED HEM.’ FIRST WOMAN LAWYER. he is treated right, and made to un derstand that he is safe. The secre tion of the terribly offensive smelling fluid is his natural weapon, and he only uses it in self-defence.” The naturalist could not be led into making any sweeping statements re garding skunks, afnd their domestica tion. but from his statements as he led his visitors to his flrst colony of the beautiful black and white crea- utres it was apparent that skunks as a class are tempermental. They need lots of kind treatiment, and when they are sure you mean it, they will reciprocate. As an instance Seton took his vis itors to a pen where half a dozen or so of skunks were kept in wire cages. All of them were captured full grown, so had not been disarm ed. Several he had had several yeai's. These the author took from t’neir little nests in boxes provided for the purpose, talked to them and pet ted them. They showed no alarm nor anger. Another he had had but a few weeks, and the author’s continued ab- cences from his estate had prevent ed a close acquaintance. Awakened and taken from his nest, the skunk ran to the far side of the cage and paced up and down attempting to es cape. Sleton thought it best for the visitors not to disturb this animaJ, and a prompt, but dignified retreat The first woman admitted to the practice of law in the United States Mrs. Belle A. Mansfield, of Aurora, 111., died recently at the age of 65. She was admitted to the Iowa bar ia 1868, and for several years before her death was dean of the College of Arts at De Pauw University in Indiana. MISS VANN A VISITOR Miss Jessie Vann and Miss Ruth Green of Monroe, have returned home after a visit to Mrs. W. O. Line- back. Miss Vann is a daughter of the late Mr. Vann, a prominent law yer of Monroe, and of Mrs. Alice Mc Rae Vann, who died in this city a year ago. Mrs. Vann graduated at Peace Institute in 1879 with the highest hon or. She was the most brilliant, most talented girl ever graduated from Peace. GUEST OF MRS. ATTAWAY.

But good luck doesn’t always fol* low the naturalist—as witness th« story told on himself by Seton, with; something of a wry smile. “When w'G decided to build ouf' house here,” he said as he stood oir theb road veranda, “we found a pair of gray squirrels nesting in that tree. Our plans would have had the house built right Where the tree stands, sO; rather than cut down the tree an4 deprive the squirrels of their home we moved the house location several yards. .'“What happened after the hous%- was well under way? The squirrel* left the tree, moved out without even giving notice, and then the tree died; Now we have neither tree nor squir-^ rels and the house is not exactly. where we wanted it.” THE SKUNKS WERE INTERESTED IN THE JACK-RABBIT.
