The Club Canir.
After some juggling of words, and
much Juggling of the horsehide in
practice, the llotarlans and the Ki
wanians have finally decided to stage,
their baseball game in the city park

the second and last day of the re
union of Spanish - A merlcan war

will be some game. Big George
Moore, who pitched Wake Forest to
many wins in bygone years, and
Horace Grigg. who fingers a base
ball with his left hand, will do the
mound work for the Kiwanians
with ‘Bottle" Anthony grabbing
their slants beind the plate. Charlie
Hubbard, who can reach almost as
near the plate as Moore, and De
Wltt Quinn, another one of those
fellows who does his fork work with
the wrong hand, are the pitching
choices of the Rotarlans. Tat Mc
Brayrr will do the catching for te
Rotary club. Both teams have been
practicing for a week or mote and
are now In fairly good shape.

Cleveland cloth team pirns to take

Shattered Romance
Detailed Further
Chicago.—Further details of the
shattered romance of Ann Livingston
and Franklin S. Hardinge were re
vealed in letters read at the trial of
her breach of promise suit against
him.
The letters, written in Tulsa,
Okla., by the 29-year-old divorcee
to the 82-year-old oil burner manu
facturer in Chicago, started with
the modest salutation “My Dear
Mr. Hardinge" and advanced thru
"Dear Franklin" to “My Own Darl
ing. ' They revealed the writing
"jumping with joy" at the prospect
of seeing Hardinge.
The letter also revealed that Ann
did not quit her secretarial job in
Tulsa and come to Chicago because
of $200 in debts. Although she wrote
in one of the epistles that she dis
liked having her gray-haired suitor
paying the debts. A later letter
thanked him for a check.
"Your letter was a sweet tonfc in
which you told of a love song being
sung to you over the radio, and of
your relaying it to one,” she wroc".
"Your money can arrive any timr
now.”
Ann sat with her back turned and
eyes closed to listen to the letters.
Hardlnge nervousely tapped the
bannister of the witness stand.
"My own dearest, you can't im
agine how I am scheming to come
to Chicago,’ she wrote in one ot
the early letters. And again: "Why,
of course I would love you dearly
if I was there with you. You thrill
me. What a dream it all seems."
Again: "You bet you can call me
sweetheart—it won’t make me mad.
I'm almost convinced that you real
ly do care a littfe bit.”
When attorneys couldn’t agree
whether Ann wrote “heaps of kiss
es” or "hugs and kisses” at the end
of one letttr, she obligingly looked
at it and told them it was ‘“hugs
and kisses,” then she leaned back
and closed her eyes again.
"I can be happy and gay once
more,” she told him after the check
came. Then: "I am hoping against
hope to find my peace and Joy
there with you. I want you to teach
and guide me. My heart is all
aflutter and I dance as I go along.”
Just before making the trip to
Chicago she wrote: “Gee, how it
will feel not to be getting up at.
6:45 o'rloek in the morning and
lighting the fire.”
Defense attorneys are attempting
to show by the letters that Ann was
the aggressor—that, expert as a
gold-digger, she deliberately set her
cap for the gray-haired manufac
turer and hinted him into proposal
of marriage.
GIANT METEORITE IS
LOCATED IN ML'SEI M
Washington.—An iron meteorite
found on the continental divide In
New Mexico, where It had lain prob
ably for many centuries since it
rocketed through the skies, has be ill
deposited in the national museum.
A fragment of a comet which
flashed in space, it was imbedded n
two feet of soil on the Malap'as
rocks in the Zuni mountains, bO
miles south of the town of Grants.
The mass weighs 1,060 pounds, a
ponderous bulk which cost the life
of a Mexican, who was crushed as
the meteorite roled from a wagon.
Antiquated wagons drawn by bur
ros were used to transport the met
eorite to Grants for shipment. At
one time three animals, unable to
pull the load, collapsed under the
weight.
"Palling meteorite," says Dr. Geo
P. Merrill, head curator of the de
partment of geology, who had charge
of securing the metallic fragment,
"often have been blamed for killing
people and animals. As a matter oi
fact, there is no authentic proof
that such a thing ever occured. In
the present instance a man was
A SERIOUS CHANGE
Kentucky Lady Was Seriously
III (or Months But Was
Finally Relieved By
Cardui.
Lawreneeburg. Ky.—“At a time in
my life, when my health was under
going a serious change," says Mrs.
J. C. Ray. who lives near here, "1
found Cardui to be of the greatest
benefit to me. I was seriously ill
for about two months, and for sev
eral months I was not well. My
nerves were all unstrung. I could
not bear the least noise around me.
I could not sleep.
“My head ached until it seemed
as If it would burst. My feet and
limbs swelled dreadfully. I felt
tired all the time. When I was up,
1 dragged around the house, but
most of the time I spent on the bed.
“I got Cardui and began taking it
regularly. Very soon I could see
that it was helping me. I began to
sleep better and eat more. The
awful nervousness got better.
“When I had finished the first
bottle, I was much better than I
had been for many weeks. I was
so encouraged that I kept right on.
Before very long I was doing all
my housework and was feeling quite
well.”
Thousands of other women have
been helped by Cardui after long
suffering from weakness and ner
vousness. NC-198
killed only by accident."
The mass has not been analyzed,
but probably contains, in Dr. Mer
rill's opinion, metallic iron with 10
per cent of nickel and traces of co
balt and platinum.
Roughly triangular in shape, the
body is believed to have fallen v.rh
its harpest point down, because of
the peculiar flow lines frozen per
petually on the surface as the mass
cooled.
