BROWN DOMINATES BOARD, IS CHARGE

President’s Annual Income Declared to Be $500,000— Company Long Boasted It Was Largest of Its Kind in the World.

A receivership suit against the Ham- fiton, Brown Shoe Co. @ay by T. E. Burrow and F. D. Wet- zel, minority stockholders. The petl- tioners allege that A. D. Brown, pres- ident of the shoe company and owner -of a majority of its stock, conspired with his board of directors to depre- @iate the value of the stock held by Burrow and Wetzel. Burrow owns 1% shares of the Papita! stock of the Hamilton, Brown ‘Co. and | Wetzel owns six shares. For 17 years | Burrow was one of the star traveling P salesmen for the Hamilton Brown Co. He is now president of the Burrow, Jones & Dyer Shoe Co., a rival con- cern. The petitioners ask the Court to re- ‘move A. D. Brown as president of the company, and to oust all of the directors and appoint others to take their places. The suit was filed for Burrow and Wet- mel by Attorni © William B. and [Tord W.. Thompson. _. _. The receiver| .p suit follows an in-, .- ternal dissension in. the Hamilton, ~ “Brown Shee.: or employes of the company. The plan agreed upon, the petition alleges, was to recommend a cut in the dividend frorg 28 per cent to 15 per Cent, and to elect a Board of Directors subservient to their wishes, and prepare a false statement of earnings, assets and lia- bilities, upon which to base the reduc- tion in dividends. — The next vear, the petition chr rges, dividends were cut from 16 per cent to 5b per cent. The petition alleges that the earnings of the company, available for dividends were larger in 1909 anu 1910 than in 1908, when the 28 pei cent divi- dend was declared. Two Other Charges Made. The two other cha: res upon which the receivership suit is based deal with the purchase by the Hamilton, Brown Shoe Cc: of St. Louis of the Hamilton, Brown Shoe Co. of Boston. It is charged that the net result of the pur- -ehage of the Boston company was a Louis concern. It is alle-ed that these Outlays of money to aid the Boston _ company were without a warrant .f Jaw, as the Missouri laws forbid one corporation from holding stock in an- other. It is also charged that A. D. Brown, for $2500, transferred to the Hamilton, Brown Shoe Co. his stock _ and bonds in the St. Louis Coliseum Co.. This transacticn ‘s alleged to be illegal, and the cuurt is asked to hold Brown personally responsible. Before fling -the receivership suit the minority stockholders had an investi- mation of the books of the shoe com- pany ‘made by an expert accountant. From figures obtained durin = this inves- tigation it was ascertained that A. D. Brown has an income of more than $500,000 a year from his shoe business. Employes of the shoe company paid from $450 to $800 a share for their stock, end under the former plan of declaring dividends, received an annual income Since the dividends of the stock, the holders say their in- ui about 1 per cent.

No word has been received from it since the race started. Inas- much as all the balloons that have come to earth were caught in a storm in the Minnesota region and the German bal- loon started in the same direction as the others, it is thought probable the Ber- lin II has encountered the same dis- turbance. .

It fell last night near Mingo, Io., but no report of the landing was received until today. | The Condor came down in a cornfield after having been blown more than 100 miles bacx over its course. At one time yesterday, according to Pilot Dubon- net, the balloon was over Lake Michi- gan, and later soared above St. Paul and Minneapolis. Not knowing which way they were driving, their supplies exhausted, the balloonists finally were driven to earth by hunger and cold. The bags in the international race have landed as follows: Condor, Mingo, Io., 240 miles; America II, Emmetts- burg, Io., 290 miles; Million Population Club, Maso City, Io., 300 miles; Berlin I, Austin, Minn., 35 miles; Buckeye, Sparta, Wis., 365 miles. The Lahm cup record was not ap- proached. The distance traveled by the two balloons which entered solely in an effort to lift the Lahm cup, follow: Topeka IJ, Dunnell, Minn., 325 miles; Kansas City II, Kennan, Wis., 460 miles. : The little pilot balloon, Pennsylvania, failed to establish an altitude record, as it attempted to do. It landed near Buffalo Center, Io., a distance of 300 miles. Capt.

When the basket had been de- tached the balloon began to ascend and Capt. Berry seized the rope to hold it down. The balloon kept on floating with Capt. Berry dangling from a rope 20 feet above the ground. When the bal- loon had traveled a mile and seemed likely to go on indefinitely, Berry re- leased his hold and dropped to the ground, while, the balloon shot up into the air and raced away ahead of the wind.

“$11,000 POSTAG ~ DURING CAMPAIG aaa Sackett, His Manager, _ Tells of Newspaper Ads Cost- ing $12,696. 60,000 LETTERS IN ONE DAY “te All Literature . Mailed - to Farmers Not One Sample Is Found. By Associated Press. ~ * MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 7.—United States Senator Isaac Stephenson’s bill of $11,0€0 for postage used in his campaign for nomination in 1908 to- day was inquired into by the sena- torial committee which is investigat- ing charges of bribery in connection with his election. Rodney Sackett, one of the Stephen- son campaign managers, testified that in one instance the postage bill for seven days amounted to $3700 and one day he spent $1900 for 2-cent atamps. The latter item provided for the sending out of 60,000 letters. “And so you mean to say that out of all that mail for which so many thousands of dollars were spent’ for postage there does not exist today a single trace, that all evidence of that campaign literature has been de- stroyed?” asked Senator Heyburn, the chairman. “T don’t know where any of it is now,” replied Sackett. Sackett testified equally large ex- penditures had been made for adver- ‘tising favorable to Senator Stephen- fon. Detailing the newspaper advertis- ing which cost $12.696, Sackett testi- fied one néwspaper was paid $1500 for a list of names of farmers through- out the State. It was the purpose to send literature to the farmers urging them to vote for Senator Stephenson. The names were paid for at the rate of 1 cent each for first and half a eent for each subsequent use of the same name. One hundred thousand buttons bear- ing the inscription “For United States Senator, Isaac Stephenson,’ cost $502. All of these items, Sackett testified, helped to swell Stephenson’s total ex- penses in’ the campaign to $107,793. Senator Heyburn read the following items as having been expended for Sen- ator Stephenson: “One man to attend colored picnic, $50.” “Trip through Ghetto, three men, $35.” ‘Touched by two old soldiers, $2.’’ ~ Sackett said he had no knowledge of these items. “As the responsible person in Sen- ator Stephenson’s campaign, you ought to know. «You also ought to know, too, that under the laws of the State these were not legitimate expenses,’’ was Hey- burn’s comment. WOMEN WHO SAW BOY BICYGLIS! RUN DOWN, FOUND They Tell Prosecuting Attorney Chauffeur Followed Hubert Kurt on Park Road.

The two women who went to the aid of Hubert} Kurt, 17 years old, when he was rin down by an automo- bile in Tower Grove Park Thursday night were located Saturday morn- ing and taken betore Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney Rudolph, where they told the story of the accident.

The story told by them was that they Were walking through Tower Grove Park Thursday night when they saw a*bicycle, closely followed by an auto- mobile which seemed about to run the bicycle down. At a turn of the road the bicycle turned to the west and the driver of the automobile started to turn the other way but changed and followed the bi- eycle. Fifty feet from where the women were standing the auto struck the bi- cycle and ran over the boy. When the auto ran over the boy it bounced in the air. The driver of the machine checked it for an instant, but when the women ‘called to him: “Stop! You have run over a man,” they say jhe raced away. Then they told of Otto ‘ Vvang’s getting the number of the ma- 4 chine. 4 Reports from the bospital Saturday - MAP SHOWING WHERE THE BALLOONS LANDED; PICTURE OF CAPT. BERRY

‘gleton, | JOMN BERRY ATTORNEY TALKS HIMSELF INTO A GELL AT STATION Police Call J. Butler McCor- mack’s Oral Brief on Court Officials Peace Disturbance.

= Attorney J. Butler McCormack, after berating everyone in the Clark Avenue Police Court, from City Attorney Vital Garesche to the bailiff, spent Friday night in the holdover at Central District Police Station and Saturday was booked charge of disturbing the peace. McCormack called at Central Station at 8 p. m. Friday and asked for a report about the biting of a man by a dog be- longing to N. Gaia of 1300 Chestnut street. Two weeks ago McCormack was fined in the Clark Avenue Police Court for disturbing the peace of Gaia and the appeal Is pending in the Court’ of Crimi- nal Correction. While the clerk was looking for the report, McCormack delivered an oral brief denouncing the attaches of the Police Court. Several times he was over- ruled by Desk Sergeant Joseph Alex- ander, who insisted the attorney could not proceed in his vituperation without proving the corpus delicti. “Your pleading is in the nature of a habeas corpus proceeding,” said Alex- ander, looking wise as a judge, ‘‘and the defendants have produced an alibi. Besides, you are confusing your billings- gate with your Blackstone to such an extent that I cannot distinguish your Latin from your French.”’ “You're one of those smart Alecks,’ said McCormack in a rage. “You're as bad as those blockheads in the Police Céurt. You have no more sense than Lieut, Seth Singleton.’’ Lieut. Singleton was standing in the doorway and when Patrolman Biggio, under instructions from Sergt. Alex- ander, escorted McCormack into the holdover he sanctioned his arrest. “That fellow’s a nuisance,’’. said Sin- as he ordered McCormack charged with disturbing the peace. McCormack is 49 years old.

Sams I DECLARE WAR ON TRICKY MEDIUMS) Delegates to National Associa- tion Convention Here De- nounce Mystery as Fraud. NOT AFRAID OF THE LIGHT

President of Society Warns Against Taking Messages From Persons Who Advertise. War on fake me ‘ums will be declared at the National Spiritualists Associa- tion convention next week at the Plant- ers Hotel. Delegates who have ar- rived say that all manifestations at the spiritualist convention here will be in the open. The convention will open Monday night and continue four days. There -will bo morning, afternoon and night sessions. “No reputable medium will advertise in advance what he or she can do,’ declared Dr. George B. Warren of Chi- cago, president of the National Spirit- ualists’ Association, to a Post-Dispatch reporter Saturday. ‘‘Almost invariably the advertising medium must resort to trickery to create a belief in the mind of the listener that he is doing what he promised to do.” Warns Against Darkness. Dr. Warren said that spirit messages from friends in the spirit world are not afraid of the light. A genuine medium cannot always secure control of the spirit desired, he said, but when mes- Sages come they can be delivered in light as well as in darkness. “A person is at a disadvantage when deprived of the use of his eyesight,” said Dr. Warren, “and light is one of the greatest safeguards we have. When one visits a spiritualist seance in which utter darkness is insisted upon for a genuine demonstration of spiritual pow- ers, it should place him on his guard. Darkness hides many elements of trick- ery,eand trick manifestations usually follow the completely darkened room. Trick Manifestations. “The joining of hands to ‘complete a cirele’ usually precedes a_ trick manifestation. When a genuine medi- um conducts a seance trumpets may float in the air or tables rock and raps be received and messages deliv- ered in a well-lighted room, as well as in a room where darkness hides possible trickery and adds mystery to the performance,” said the doctor. “Subdued light in some instances aids in the spirit manifestations, but absolute darkness is not necessary. Genuine mediumship must be spon- taneous. The messages will not come at will, and the medium cannot at all times control the spirit givers. But when a message comes it reaches the medium without the aid of mystery, trickery or darkness.” Must Use Judgment, ‘Dr. Warren said that nothing received as a message from a spiritualist medium should be accepted as infallible until it receives the approval of the conscience and the reason of the recelver. The shackles on individual thought are be- ing removed, men and women are be- ginning to think for themselves, and mental freedom is in the air, accord- ing to Dr. Warren. Dr. Warren will preside at the ses- sions of the convention. A reception. to the visiting speakers and mediums who will conduct manifestations will be held Monday night. 1 MAN 1S KILLED AT AY” SWIG ON WAY TO WORK Ernest Yohl’s Body Was Under Bellefontaine Car at North Terminal for 50 Minutes.

TARKINGTON, THE. | AUTHOR, AND WIFE ARE LIVING APART Indiana Novelist a tal Wealthy Helpmeet Silent as to Sepa- ration Cause. a DAUGHTER WITH MOTHER Decision Said to Have Been Reached Before Writer’s Trip Abroad. - INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 7.—Booth Tarkington and -his wife, who is wealthy, have separated, according to reports here today. It is declared that Mrs. Tarkington has leased a house in Indianapolis, where only she an her daughter are to live, and that Tarking- ton,® in! visiting Indianapolis, will stay with his father. Mrs. Tarkington is at the home of her brother, Stoughton Fletcher Jr. Neither Mrs. Tarkington nor her hus- band wou’. «ive any statement for pub- lication, but friends of the young wife declare that before the author and play- wright left for Europe last summer his wife advised him of her determination to live apart from him. Tarkington re- turned from Europe severa? days ago, but he did not come to Indianapolis. He at Princeton University. There appears be no case of ‘triangle’ in the matter—no other woman who has capitavted the aughor of ‘“‘Monsieur Beachaire.’’ In the ab- sence of any, definite statement from Mrs. Tarkington, the cause of the sep- aration remains a family secret. The Tarkingtons were married seven years ago. They have a daughter, born in Rome, about four years ago. Stough- ton Fletcher, the wealthy father of Tarkington’s wife, objected to the match and the resulting estrangement lasted until the birth of the daughter. Prior to her marriage Tarkington's wife had displayed considerable talent for literature and is the author of sev- eral short stories. She inherited from her father a sum of money said to be in excess of one million dollars, Professional Jealousy a Cause. Among Mrs. Tarkington’s. friends it is said that the habits of Tarkington, as well as professional jealousy, have led to the separation. Tarkington, according to this story, has been very jealous of literary ability displayed by his wife and her success in,the field of litera- ture has led to domestic clashes. His habits, it is stated, have been a constant cause of friction. Tarkington a few years ago was arrested on Christ- mas eve, his joyous celebration of the evening having led to a charge of as- sault and battery on a policeman. While a member of the State Legisla- ture from this city Tarkington also was known rather extensively as a leader among the “good fellows.’’ Several times, it is understood, Mrs. Tarkington was about to sue fer di- vorce, but peace was restored. Mrs. Tarkington is a member. of one of the oldest and best-known Indiana families. Her father, the late Stoughton J. Fletcher, was a millionaire banker. Her- brother, Stoughton A. Fletcher, is presi- dent of the Fletcher American Nationa! Bank, the largest bank in Indiana. He is also head of the [Federal Creosoting Co., a $1,900,000 corporation.

U.S INQUIRIES INTO DIVIDENDS PAID BY 7. LOUIS CONCERN Frank Orff, President of West- ern Publishing Co., Likely to Be a Witness.

INQUIRY IN NEW YORK

Government Wants to Know if Payments Came From Stock Sales or Earnings.

x ; By Leased Wire From the New York Bureau of the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK. Oct. 7.—Frank Orff of the Western Publishing Co. of St. may have to tell a Federal grand jury in this city what he knows about the in- Louis paying of dividencs out of capital, stead of earnings of the big Columbian- Sterling Magazine Co., with which his concern is associated. The Government desires to ascertain if dividends of 16 per cent yearly, said to have been promised by one of the magazine companies before it was taken over by the Columbian-Sterling, were paid out of receipts from stock sales. Subpenas were issued for the bouks of the Columbian Magazine Co. so as to have accountants determine if com- plaints made by some stockholders in the company are warranted. Some of the officers of the Columbian Magazine Co., which with Hampton’s Magazine was absorbed by the Colum- bian-Sterling Co. in June, when a big merger was effected, are out of the city, according to reports of subpena servers. Four Published in St, Louis. ttorney Atkins had a hand in ne- gotiations which resulted in the com- bining of Hampton’s, the Columbia, the American Womens’ Review, the Home Magazine and Orff’s Farm Re- view and the Sterling Magazine. The last four are published dn St. Louis by the Western Publishing Co., of which Frank Orff is president, The Colum- »bian-Sterling company is now pub- lishing all these magazines, having changed the name of its. principal holding, Hampton’s Magazine, to the Hampton-Columbian Magazine, Ben B. Hampton, former publisher of Hampton’s, is understood to be no longer connected with the magazine that bore his name. It is said he is dissatisfied with the working out of the plan under which he was induced to deliver over his publication to the new company. For nearly four months, it was also learned, Hampton has been trying to effect a readjustment satisfactory to him. Three weeks ago he tried to force a reorganization of the com- pany. Hampton’s lawyers got some of the creditors of the new company together, and they have since been working to promote a more amicable relationship among all interests con- cerned. Postal nqutes! Recalled. Some interested persons assert that the Postoffice Department's investi- gation of the old Columbia Magazine Co, and the negotiations that preced- ed the formation of the Columbian- Sterling Co. have been brought about by dissatisfied men interested in the ca se of Hampton, The Columbian-Sterling Co., it is paid, controls the largest merger of magazines made in this country. Its ublications are owned chiefly by the readers. At the time of the consolida- ‘tion it was announced that 24,000 per- ‘gone would receive stock of the Co- Tumbian-B8terling Co., in exchange for that of the various magazines in- volved. About 4500 shareholders in Hampton's also were affected. DES MOINES STREET CAR STRIKE DUE SUNDAY Time Limit Set for Reinstatement of Three Recently Dis- charged Employes.

AIRSHIP MAIL AND TURKS MASSED PARCELS POST Ih HITCHCOCK PLANS Appropriation Sought to Make New Ideas in Postal Service Possible Soon.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Provision for the establishment of a parcels post and the transportation of mail by aeroplane has been made by Postmaster-General Hitchcock, in his annual estimates of Postoffice Department expenditures, submitted to the Treasury Department yesterday. According to these estimates, the ap- proporations necessary to meet the ex- penses of the postal service at large during the coming fiscal year will be 2(=),988,463,, a decrease of $2,585,740 under the appropriation for the current fiscal year, or less than 1 per cent the small- est on record The most important of the new items are °* ' providing for the parcels post. They $50,000 to cover tft: preliminary expe on rural mail routes, and an equal appropriation to start the service in the cities. The department believes that after the initial expenses are defrayed and the parcels post is in full operation on the rural routes, it will not only bring in sufficient revenue to meet its costs, but also a surplus that .an be utilized in paying the parcels post expenses in the city delivery service. An item of $50,000 is included to cover an investigation having for its object the establishment of a general parcels post on all railroad and steamboat tran- sportation routes. Hitchcock is confident that legisla- tion authorizing a parcels post in some form will be forthcoming at the next Session of Congress. Another item, included for the first time, the + $50,000 to cover experi- ments in the transportation of mail by aeroplane. Hitchcock believes that un- der certain conditions it will be possible in the near future to utilize the aero- Plane to good advantage in the mail service. The sum of $50,000 is provided for ti~e and labor saving mechanical de- vices for use in the postoffice. An item of $10,000 is added to be expended in giving rewards to postal employes who invent improved mechanical ap- pliances that accelerate the handling of the mails. The law requires that estimates for the various departments of the Goy- ernment be sumitted prior to Oct. 15. include nses is

MAN AN INFANT UNTIL HE IS 25 YEARS OLD At Least He Should Be, Univer- sity of Vermont’s New Pres- ident Declares. BURLINGTON, Vt., Oct. 7.—‘‘One of the greatest crimes of the times is edu- cational infanticide,” said Dr. Guy Pot- ter Benton in his cddress on the occa- sion of his installation as president of the University of Vermont. “Physiologically and intellectually man was, or should -.3, an infant un- til the age of 2,” he said. “Infancy should be pushed further out by pro- longing the educational period of life.

BEHIND TRIPOL IN MUD FORTS Italians Holding Back Troops and It Is Suspected They Fear Trouble in Balkans. Rr eae Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch and New York World. Copyright, ene by Press Publishing d. ew York Wor srt ROME, Oct. 7.—The Turkish troops are massed behind Tripoli on the hills, which are lined with mud forts. So far there has been little loss of life; the real fighting is yet to come. It is not expected that the Turks will yieid without a blow, but their resistance will depend on their supplies of food and ammunition, The three days’ bombardment did lit- tle damage in Tripoli. No one of the Surprisingly large number of foreigners who remained in town was injured by ‘the shell fire. The invading expedition has not started from Sicily. It may do so soon. The delay has aroused the suspicion that perhaps the Government is hold- ing back the troops in fear of confla- gration in the Balkans. The newspapers are jubilant over the occupation of Tripoli which, after four- teen centuries, is again a Roman colony. They emphasize the coincidence that Tripoli fell on the anniversary of the battle of Lepanto. The Pope, although he has no offi- cial intercourse with Italy, is pleased with the Italian success, it is reported, the more so because no Italian blood has been shed. No news is available about the fur- ther movements of the Italian fleet. It ig really believed that a Turkish fleet of torpedo boats is prowling off the Sicilian coast, and as a forlorn hope, may attempt a surprise of some sort. Greece Talks Neutrality, but Prepares for War. VIENNA, Oct. 7.—Despite the dec- larations of their neutrality by the Balkan States, Greece’s * warlike preparations are causing anxiety. One of the army corps is already being mobilized on the frontier and the opposition newspapers in Greece demand a general mobilization. On the other side two Turkish corps at Salonica and Uskub, have been order- ed to hold themselves in readiness for immediate action. Two hundred and fifty thousand Turks are being collected on her frontier and Turkey will have 600,000 under arms soon. It is difficult to see against whom these forces can be used except Greece. in Turkey Explains Attitude in War. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—The State De- partment today received from Youssouf Zia Pasha, Turkish Ambassador to the United States, the first formal note of explanation of Turkey’s attitude in the existing struggle with Italy. The note reviewed the action of Italy, setting forth that the war had been proclaimed without regard to Turkey’s request for further explanation of Italy’s demands. .

EN IMPORTANT THAT PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY The testimonial I am to give you comes unsolicited. I have been suffer- ing from lumbago for ten years and at times was unable to stand erect. A Mr. Dean of this city saw me in my condition (bent over) and inquired the cause. I told him that I had the lumbago. He replied, ‘‘If you get what I tel vou to, you need not have it.’’ I said I would take anything for ease. Hegsaid, ‘‘ You get two bottles of Dr. Kilmer ’s Swamp-Root and take it, and if it does not fix you O K I will pay for the medicine myself,’’ I did so and am vell: man. For five months I haw n as well as could be. Before I to. your Swamp. |: Root was in constant pain day and night. This -may look like advertis- ing, but it seems to me most im- portant that the public should be made familiar with this treatment as it is the only one I know which is an absolute cure. I owe a great deal to Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, and am anxious that others situated as I was should know and take advantage of it. Hoping that this testimonial may be of benefit to some one, I am, J.

1025 DINERS START MEN AND RELIGION FORWARD RALLY Guests Fill Two Floors at Mer- cantile Club With Many Turned Away.

A banquet, attended by 1025 men, at the Mercantile Club, Friday night, for- mally opened the campaign of the men and religion forward movement in St. Louis. Three hundred _ religious workers who had failed to reserve seats at the tables were refused admittance to the banquet rooms for lack of room. Five hundred guests sat at tables on the fifth floor, and 52 had seats at tables on the sixth floor. The speak- ers went from one hall to the other, and repeated their remarks. B. F. Ed- wards was -toastmaster on the sixth floor, and Hanford Crawford presided at the fifth-floor dining hall. The in- vocation and benediction on the fifth floor were delivered by the Rev. J. Layton Mauze and the Rev. Charles 8, Mills, respectively. On the other floor the Rev. William Hackmann and Dean Carroll M. Davis rendered like services. The entire assemblage sang the ‘‘Men and Religion’’ hymn, ,the words of which were composed by the Rev. J. H. Horst- mann, editor of the St. Louis Messen- ger of Peace. It was sung to the tune of “The Star Spangled Banner.”’ A committee of 100 acted as a Re- ception Committee. Greetings were ex- changed between the diners on the dif- ferent floors by official messengers. Among the out-of-town speakers were James A. Whitemore of New York, a social service specialist, and the Rey, I. J. Lansing of the New York social service movement. The banquet was preparatory to a general week’s campaign by national of- ficers to be held in St. Louis, Dec, 3 to 10.

A SO Stomach Sufferers Squander Millions In Search of Relief. The world is full of disordered stomachs and 90 per cent of the money spent upon physicians and drugs goes in an attempt to cure the stomach. People are made to believe that in order to gain health they must doctor their stomachs and use ca- thartics. So the doctor gets his fee for the stomach treatment and the druggist for the physic, until the savings of a lifetime are exhausted and yet no cure, Let’s be reasonable. The sick stomach is in every case the result of over-eating, hurried mastication and improper choice of foods. The mucous lining all the way dcewn the food tract loses its sensitiveness, an¢* when food is forced down the muscleg fail to re- spond. They do not churn the food as they should. ‘The glands no long- er give out gastric juice to dissolve the food and render it capable of assimilation. The man has become a dyspeptic, There is one sure war and only one to bring positive relief Put into that stomach of yours the very elements that it lackg to get that food into liquid form. It takes pep- sin, diastase, golden seal and other oo fat to accomplish this.- The

ealthy stomach contains these ele- ents. The dyspeptic stomach lacks part or-all of them. Stuart’s’ Dys- pepsia Tablet is made wp of just what the dyspeptic ltt a. lacks —Nature’s digestives. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are not a medicine, not a drug, not a ca- thartic. They do not cure anybody of anything but Dyspepsia and In- digestion and such ailments ag arise from poorly digested food. While they digest the food the stomach recuperates. The mucous membrane is coming out of its stu- por, the gastric juice is coming to the surface, the muscles are regain- ing their power. Every organ of the body takes on new life, the skin gains color, and the eyes are no long- er tinged with yellow.

vited to SETTLE this question. Below will be found the opinion of Helen Rowland o’ the subject. YOU may disagree with het on every point. WRITE TO HER in care jof the Post-Dispatch, expressing YOUR jown opinion on “when is a man old?” * When IS a ,» Man Old?

The Opening of a Discussion _ for Post-Dispatch ‘Readers’

By Helen Rowiand HEN is a man old? ‘When he can no longer make a woman jealous?’’ Fiddlesticks! If that were true, some _men would be born Methuselahs; for there ARE men who, in'spite of their sex, have never been able, from the cradle to the grave, to inspire a woman with any emotion whatever, much less to make one jealous, In Milan, a woman may be able to work herself into a green- eyed fever over a comic postcard, simply because he wears a mus- * tache; but not ™ America. e Neither * . man ‘‘as old as he feels,’’ although he has long eajoled hima . with this fallacy. If it were true, however, the pldest man in the world would be just 21. » Nobody on earth is so blase, so cynical, so erudite, so world- weary; nobody knows so much and cares 80 little about anything under the sun, as a youth who has just learned to smoke, began to shave, met one chorus girl, and been rejected by a widow. He has temporary palsy of the: soul—and oh, how he enjoys it! Once the malady has passed, however, and he is forced to begin to take a casual interest in life again, he grows rapidly younger, day by day, until at 60 the same man is sometimes as frisky and skittish as a spring lamb with mint sauce. Neither can you judge a man’s age by his looks; for while this part of the proverb still holds good with regard to women, there are white-haired men of 50, in these days, who have more vitality, ‘ more intere#t in life, more ability, more energy, and more attraction for women, than many men of 25 or 30. These, of course, do not include the decadent old beaux who patronize the masseurs by day and the gilded restaurants and green-rooms by night. ae : : A man is old, indeed, when he begins to make a fool of himself. Occasionally in his lifetime, every man loses his head and his equi- librium over some woman; but when he starts in to generalize, and to seek the company of his granddaughter’s playmates, he has lost his grip on his faculties. He should know by the ever-increasing expensiveness of his flirtations that he is growing old disgracefully. But he never does. An old dog can’t learn new tricks, but an old fool hasn’t sense enough not to try. You may say, then, that a wise man is never cold. True! But how many men are wise? The fact is that there is a day on which the unwise man, like the unwise woman, wakes up to find himself OLD. That is the day on which he turns over in the cold gray dawn, looks life in the face and decides in his heart that there is ‘‘nothing in it;’’ that love . isa delusion, that success is an empty bubble, that anibition is fool- ish and futile, and that women are tiresome—in short, that all the things of which he dreamed, and for which he hoped, and worked, and lived, are Dead Sea Fruit. _ It is that day when he concludes sadly that the cocktail of life ~ has not been worth the headache, nor the kiss worth the heartache ; when he ceases to have faith in ideals, happiness and women, or an faterest in anything but his meals. In brief, a man is old, not when he loses his front hair, not when os loses his teeth, not when he loses his figure—but when he loses As long as a man can dream day-dreams, can look forward in- Pet, tead of backward, can hope instead of regretting, and can love a in tenderly and unselfishly, he is young with the eternal youth , , ee eee Kg : S ps : Ran ‘i fe =e eS i tne ae ot iJ . 9 Sy Pe as A — 4.

A silk- en robe, striped with bright col- a Cashmere girdle, a flowing caftan of the finest and softest cloth, and a white embroidered cap, round which was twisted a muslin turban—such was the elegant costume by the most fashion- the features of the Egyptian seemed harsher and his complexion more swarthy than ever. The tailor, how- ever, thought otherwise; he did noth- ing but praise the beauty and grace of who should look with indifference on his countenance, more beautiful than the moon at its full. When nothing more remained of the Bedolin of the day before, breakfast was served_and counsels from old Mansour, Omar, mounted on a mule, and modestly fall- ing” behind his father, took the way with him to the bazar. The Egyptian led his son to a shop ket, but crowded with precious: articles. Shawls from India, satins and brocades from China, carpets from Bassora, ya- taghans in their chased silver scab- bards, pipes mounted with amber and coral, necklaces of sequins and pearls, all that could seduce women, all that could ruin men, was found in this ware- house of perdition.. A stone bench ren before the shop. Mansour seated him- pipe; Omar took his beads and began to recite his prayers, without looking at the crowd. As soon as the merchants perceived the syndic, they rose in a body, and wish him good morning. BHveryone looked with surprise at the newcomer, and asked his neighbor in a whisper who the stranger could be—whether a relative of the Egyptian, or a young his son will be fortunate and happy when he The New Solomon. ors, and confined round the waist by able tailor of Djiddah. In this dress Omar, and pity the ladies of the city sherbet brought in; then, after sundry which was narrow, like all in the mar- adorned with rubies, rosaries of black self on the cushions and lighted his went to repeat the Fat-hah, and to slave richly dressed in order to draw customers. Mansour called the sheik, and, pointing to Omar, “This is my son,” said he—‘‘my partner and succes- sor.’’ “Your son!’’ exclaimed the sheik. ‘Who ever heard that the rich Mansour had an heir?’ ; ‘“T wished to deceive the evil eye,’’ re- plied the old man; ‘‘this is why I have had‘my son brought up at a distance and-in secret. I did not intend to pre- sent him to you till his beard was grown; but I was getting old; I became impatient; and today, with your per- mission, I shall place him in the ba- zar to learn of you the art of buying and selling.’’ ; “Mansour is always wise,’’ replied the merchants, as they vied with each other in congratulating the happy fa- ther of such a son. “‘May the Lord,” they exclaimed, “preserve both root and branch!”’ In the midst of these wishes, which tickled the Egyptian’s pride, the sheik took up the conversation. “‘Among us,” said he to Mansour, ‘‘when a son or daughter is born, even the poor man in- vites his friends to rejoice with him; ve you forgotten us?’ : yy Be ion with a visit this even- ing,’ replied the old man: “you shail be welcome.”’ . An hour after, a messenger, Carrying a huge bouquet, went threaswgh the market offering a flower to each mer- chant, with the words, ‘‘Recite the Fat- hah for the Prophet.’’ The prayer-end- ed, ‘‘Mansour entreats you,’’ added the messenger, “‘to take coffee with him this evening at his house.’’ ‘ ‘‘Mansour is the prince of the gen- erous,’’ returned the _ invited guests; with the blessing of God, we will pay our respects this evening to the syndic. ’ At.the appointed time, the Egyptian and his son received the merchants in the little garden, where a _ splendid feast awaited the guests. Lambs stuffed with alfionds, and pistachio nuts, rice with saffron. cream sauces flavored with pepper, rose jellies, pastry of all kinds, nothing was spared to honor guests of such consequence. For the first time Mansour desired at the poor should partake of his jw) and ordered the remcins of the feast, with some small silver cr’ to be distrib- uted among ther — re the door, which was enough. ill the street with huzzas and ble® 4, and to cause the name of the gek jus Omar and. the rich Mansour to r . gund from one end of Dijiddah to the other. ‘Coffee served and the pipes lighted, the sheik took Omar by the hand: “Be- hold our friend’s son,’ said he to the merchants, “‘who desires to ent our honorable company. I beseech each one to recite the Fat-hah for the Prophet.” While the prayer was being three times repeated, the sheflk wound a shawl round Omar's waist, tying a knot after each Fat-hah.

To think only and always of ones self, and to make use of the pas- sions or weaknesses of .others to stri fools of the wealth they dote pe, have known this from my birth: I did nothing else in the desert: my masters will be shrewd, indeed, if, before six months are past, I do not give them a lesson.’’ . A few days after, Mansour repatred to the cadi on account of a suit, the issue Of which troubled him but lUttle. A private conversation with the Judge had given him hopes of the justice of his cause. The old man asked his son .to accompany him, in order to accus- tom him early to deal with the law. The. cadi was seated in the courtyard of the mosque. He was a fat, good- looking man, who never thought, and talked littley which, added to his large turban and .his air of perpetual aston- ishment, gavé him a great reputation for justice and gravity. The spectators were nunierous; the principal merchants were seated on the ground on carpets, forming a semicircle around the Magis- trate. Mansour took his seat a little way from the sheik, and Omar placed himse/f between the two, his curiosity Strongly excited to see how the law was obeyed, and how it was trifle] with in case of need. The first- case called Was that of a young Banian, as yellow as an orange, with loose-flowing robes and an effem- inate ,air,*who had: lateky landed from India, and who complained of having tg cheated by oné of Mansour’s ri- Vals. . ‘Having found a casket full of dia- monds among the effects bequeathed to me by my father at Delhi,” said the young nten, ‘I set out for Egypt in order to live there in opulence on the proceeds of their sale. I was obliged by bad weather to put in at Djiddah, where I was retained by the pleasures of the city, and soon found myself-in want of money. I was asstired that, if I wished to dispose of my dia- monds, I should find a good market here. I went to the bazar, and in- quired for a dealer in precious stones. The richest, I was told, wa Mansour, the most honest was Ali the jewdler. I applied to the latter. As soon as he learned the object of my visit, he wel- comed me like a son, and refusing to talk of business at the bazar, carried me home with him. For several davs he treated me in the most’ generous manner, gained my confidence by every kind of attention, and advanced me aij! the money I needed. One day, afte: dinner, when I was not quite sober, he asked me for the casket, examined the diamonds one by one, and said, wit> feigned pity: ‘My child, these stones are of little value in Arabia. and Egypt. The rocks of our desert furnish them by thousands; my coffers are fuli of them.”’ To prove the truth of what he said, he opened a_ box, and, taking therefrom a diamond thriee as large as any of mine, gave it to the slave that was with me. “*What will become of me*’ I cried. ‘I have no other fortune; I thought my- self rich, and here I am poor, a stran- ger, and far from my family and coun- t ’ y. “*My child,’ replied the treacherous jeweler, ‘I conceived a friendship for you at first sight. A Mussulman never forsakes his friends in trouble. Leave this casket with me and, to oblige you, I will give you a price for it such as no one else would offer. Choose what- ever you wish in Djiddah—gold. vilver or coral—and in two hours I promise to give you an equal weight of what you have chosen in.erwhange for your Indian stones.’ «® 7 “On returning hu. , night brough: reflection. I made Inquiries, and soon learned that Ali had been fooling me. What he had given to the slave ways nothing but a bit °f crystal. Diamonds are scarcer at Djiudah than in India, and are worth 10 times their weight in gold. I demanded my casket. Ali re- fused to restore it. Venerable Magis- trate, my sole hope is in your justice. I entreat you to espouse the cause of a stranger, and may the wretch who has ruined mé drink boiling water for all eternity!’’ - . It waa Ali's turm to speak. “TIihue- trious servant of God,"’ said he to the cadi, ‘“‘this young man’s story is true in but one particular, namely, that we have made a bargain. and that I am ready to keep it. All the rest is of his own invention. What matters it what I gave the slave? could a sensible man have seen it in anything else than a jest? Did I force the stranger to leave ~~ —- i eae

Have I broken my word, and has he kept his?’ “Young man,”’ said the cadi to the Banian, “have you witnesses to prove that Ali deceived you as to the value of your merchandise? If not, I shall put the’ accused on his oath, as the law decrees.”’ A Koran was brought: Ali placed his right hand on the sacred book, and repeated three times: ‘‘In the name of God the Omnipotent, and by the word of God that is contained in this book, I swear that I have not deceived this stranger. I swear it here today,”’ he added, turning toward the assembly, “as I shall swear it on the judgment- day before God as cadi, with the angels for witnesses.’’ ‘*Wretch,’’ said the Banian, ‘‘thou art among those whose feet go down to destruction. Thou hast thrown away thy soul.’’ “That may be,’’ whispered the sheik to Omar, “but “he has gained a huge fortune. This Ali is a shrewd knave.”’ *‘He is no ordinary man,’’ added Man- sour. “This may be called a game weil { Played.” Omar smiled, and, while Ali was: en- | joyin the success of his ruse, he ap- proached the stranger, who burst into tears.

“Do you wish me to help you to gain the sult?” asked he. “Yes,” cried the East Indian, ‘‘con- found this wretch, of me what you will. But you are only a child; you can do nothing.”’ o “T only ask yeu to have confidence ‘in me for a few imoments,"’ returned the Egyptian. ‘‘Accept Ali's bargain: let — choose in your stead, and fear noth- n se and you may ask

Nevertheless, he turned to the cadi, and. bowing re- spectfully, “Oh, my lord and master.”’ said he, “thy slave implores a last fa- -vor of thy mercy; iet the bargain be consummated. since the law decrees it, but permit this young man to choose in my stead what I shal! receive in pay- ment.’’

A profound silence ensued. Omar rose, and, bowing to the cadi, ‘“‘Ali,"’ said he to the jeweller, ‘‘you have doubtless brought the casket, and can tell us the weight thereof?’’ “Here it is,’’ sai@-the merchant; “‘it weighs twenty pounds. Choose wha; you will, I repeat; if the thing asked for is to be found in Djiddah, you shall have it within fwo hours, otherwise the bargain is null and void. All know that my word is sacred, and that I never break it.’’ “What we desire,’’ said_Omar, raising his voice, “is ants’ wings, half male and half female. You have two hours in which to furnish the twenty pounds you have promised us.” “This is absurd,’’ cried the jeweller; “it is impossible. I should need half a score of persons and six month’s labor to satisfy this foolish demand. It is trifling with fustice to {ntroduce these childish caprices into this place."’ “Are there any winged ants in Djiddah?’’ asked the cadi. “Of course,’ answered the merchanisa, laughing; ‘‘they are one of the plagues of Egypt. Our houses are full] of them, and it would be doing us a great service to rid us of them.” “Then Ali must keep hig promise or give back the casket,” said the cadi. “This young man was mad! to sell his diamonds weight for weight; he is mad to exact such a payment; so much the worse for him the second. Justice has not twWoeweights and measures. Every bargain holds good before the law. Either furnish twenty pounds of ants’ wings, or restore the casket to the Bantlan.’’ “A righteous judgment,’’ shouted the spectators, wonder-struck at such equity. The stranger, beside himself with joy, embraced Omar, calling him his savior and master; nor did he stop there: tak- ing from the casket three diamonds of the finest water, as large as night- ingales’ eggs, he forced them on Omar, who a them in his girdle, respectfully kissed the Banian’s right hand, an:l seated himself by his father, his gravity unmoved by the gaze of the assembly. “Well done, my friend,” said Man- sour; ‘“‘but Ali is a novice: had he no: neglected the cadi he would have gained his suit. It is my turn now, mark me well, and profit by the les- son I shall give you. Stop, youns man!’ he cried to the East India‘ who was carrying off the diamonds, “we have an account to’ settle. I en- treat the illustrous cadi to keep this casket for a moment; there may be those here who have a better right to it than either this stranger or the prudent Ali.’’ There was universal surprise among the spectators, and all listened to the new claimant. “The day before yesterday,” said Mansour, ‘‘a veiled lady ontered my shop in the bezaar and asked to loo: at some necklaces. Nothing that I! showed her pleased her taste, an“ she Was about to leave the shop, when she Spied a sealed box in a corner, and entreated «ne to open it. This box contained a set of topazes which were no longer at my disposal, having been already sold to the Pacha of Egypt. I told the lady this, but~ @ .

HARD RACE FOR SIDNEY HATCH Chicago Man Gives Big Handi- caps to Large Field in 15- Mijle Run.

Sidney Hatch of Chicago, one of the best distance runners in the country and three times winner of the annual Missouri A. C.. Marathon race over a 26-miles, 385-yards course, has been placed on scratch for the 15-mile race which will be run off this afternoon un- der the auspices of the Central Y. M. C. A. The race will be started at Kirk- wood at 3 o’clock and should finish at the Fairgrounds about 4:30 o’clock. The runners will enter the park at the south- east entrance, Grand avenue and Natu- ral Bridge road. There will be over fifty starters and as prizes will be awarded for the best scratch time as well as the men who finish in the best positions, including handicap, some hot competition ig ex- pected. Irvin Biel and Joe Erxleben, both of the Missouri A. C., the star distance runners of St. Louis, will be unable to compete for the reason that Biel is not in the best of trim and Erx- leben could not spare the time to train for such a hard race as he knew Hatch would give him. The race will be run rain or shine and if the wind is not too strong an aero- plane will be sent out to escort the run- ners into the park. —_——_——o—_———_—. KID McCOY MAY PROVE OUR BEST “WHITE HOPE” NEW. YORK, Oct. 7.—Kid McCoy went up another rung on his “coma- back” ladder last night at Brown’s gymnasium, when he knocked out Jim Savage in the fourth round of their scheduled 10-round bout. The Kid showed traces of his old-time cham- pionship form and completely outclasse:1 his opponent. He scored three knock- downs and was master of Savage from beginning to end. It was McCoy’s thira victory since he started to ‘‘come back.”’ BASEBALL ACCIDENT RESULTS IN DEATH WELLINGTON, Kan., Oct. 7.—W. N. McDaniel of Perth, Kan., died in a Ilv- cal hospital last njght, following an operation to reset a leg which was fractured while he was playing in a baseball game, several months ago.

MIS rowenen | AND MRS. MUDD IN SEMIFINALS

Winner of Today’s City Tennis Championship Match Plays Miss Prendergast. GOOD MATCHES FRIDAY a

Miss Arnstein Plays Fine Game Though Beaten, in the Third | Round. Miss Nannie Lionberger will meet Mrs. Robert Mudd fn the semi-final match of the women’s city champion- ship tennis tournament for the Post- Dispatch cup on the Triple A courts in Forest Park, at 3:30 o’clock this after- noon, weather permitting. The winner of this match will oppose Miss Alice Prendergast in the final, Monday or Tuesday. The winner of the final will meet Mrs. N. M. Semple, the presen’ champion, in the challenge round for the title and the trophy next Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock. Friday’s matches resulted in some of the best tennis ever witnessed at a women’s tournament here. The big sur- prise of the day was the! victory of Miss’ Nannie Lionberger over Miss Natalie Arnstein. Miss Arnstein defeated Mrs. T. B. Entz, rated one of the best tennis players in St. Louis for several years, in Thursday’s round. Miss Arnstein started off well Friday, winning the first set 6-2. Miss Lion- berger rallied and by birlliant play managed to take the second set after a hard struggle, 8-6. Miss Arnstein weakened in the third set and Miss Lionberger won the set and match, 6—2. Miss Alice Prendergast and Miss M. K. Voorhees, the latter just a school girl, also had a hard battle in the semi- final. This is Miss Voorhees’ first tournament, while Miss Prendergast has competed in a number of tennis events. Miss Voorhees won the first set, 7—6. In the second set Miss \Prendergast’s steady play proved too much for her young opponent, who allowed Miss Pren- dergast to come up to the net. Every time Miss Prendergast got to the net she smashed the ball, leaving ne chance for a return. Miss Prendergast won the second and third sets and match, 6—1, 6-2. Miss Prendergast is now the favorite to win the tournament and meet Mrs. Semple in the final. ~~ Mrs. T. B. Entz and Mrs, Tyson Dines won two matches in doubles. They de- feated Mrs. W. J. Wood and Miss Alice Prendergast after one of the hardest matches of the tournament, 8-6, 9—7. Later they beat Mrs. Robert Mudd and Miss Julia Brooks in the semi-final, 6—2, 7—5. Mrs. Entz and: Mrs, Dines will meet Mrs. Ed Simmons and Mrs. Charles McClure Clark in the final Mon- day or Tuesday as Mrs. Clark is at present out of the city. La DAVE ALLERDICE TO COACH TEXAS TEAM ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 7.—It was announced here last night that David Allerdice, member of the University of Michigan football eleven in 1907-8-8 and at present football] coach at Butler Col- lege, has accepted the offer to coach the University of Texas football squad. He succeeds his former team mate, Wil- liam Wasmund, who died at Austin, Tex., Wednesday, the result of injuries sustained when he fell from his bed- room window Sunday.

DROPS DEAD WHILE IN EXERCISE GAME ADRIAN, Mich., Oct. 7.—While play- ing volley ball at the Y. M. C. A. last night David A. Barnes, an Adrian col- lege student, collapsed and died a few minutes later. The exact cause has not been determined. Barnes was a theo- logical student and was recently mar- ried.

Cobbless Tigers Easy Prey for — Browns’ Recruit Mound Artists

Brown boys landed the Browns Friday. That goes two Not only did the talil-enders HE winners ways. T triumph over the tattered Tigers of De- troit, but it was a pair of Browns—front monakers Elmer and Charles—that turned the trick. Elmer, who lets co with his right wing, and who haliis from the Akron (0. and P. League) team, xot the team off to a good start and then retired in favor of Charles, alias ‘“‘Lefty’”’ Brown, who drew pay from the Burlington (Central Association) team this season, and incidentally was sought by Hughey Jennings. Jennings was not on hand to pull grass, E-Yah and do other things for the amuse- ment of the small gathering. . Neither was T. Cobb, 8, Crawford. O, Hush, J. Dela- hanty and O. Stanage. Instead, a bunch of Rookies pastimed. A’ pair of catchers, Jimmy Casey and Charley Schmidt, did duty im center and right fields, respectively. The show. the fina! result of which was ll—5, pleased. Elmer Brown because of gome poor breaks was found for three runs in the opener. But the Browns like a regular team and smashed out five in their section. They kept on adding at the expense of Jack iLively, who performed gil the way for

The Browns poled 12 hits, more or less. Most of the raps were of the kind that listen well when they smack the Dat. Newcomers Kutina and Compton were in the lineup. Bib Joe, especially, had a big day at the pan. He poled a bucky triple, but came back later with a great smash over the fence in front of the bulle- tin board for a homer. It was some wallop and only rivaled. one made by Frank Laporte earlier in the year and another to the same spot by R. Nelson last season. Joe also smashed out a single. Native Son Hogan pulled a catch itn left that was a beauty. Although he dropped his cap in chasing a short drive from Moriarty’, bat, he got up to the ball and held on, Many cheers were Bill's lot. C. Schmidt missed Kutina’s drive in the opening round and he was @ mark for the right-field bieacherites the remainder of the afternoon. Charies from Arkansas seemed te enjoy the hooting as much as the bugs Bill Bvans and John Mullen were on hand as umpires. They behaved nicely, Mullen George Moriarty is in charge of the ai- leged Tigers. O14 Joe a former Brownie, is also here wv

A TRIBUTE TO “MUGGSY.” OW potent a factor to the success H -of his club is John J. McGraw may be judged from the fact that the New York Giants are prac- tically equal in favoritism with the Athletics as possible winners of the world’s championship. Practically ev- eryone appears to admit the individual superiority of the Mackmen; yet fans are reluctant apparently to pick the Athletics to win the world’s title. The big factor in their reluctance is McGraw himself. Just: how John J. is going to step in and interfere with the series to the extent of upsetting a seem- ingly stronger club with a weaker one is not clear; but back in the cranial convolutions of a large*number of base- ball followers is the belief that some- how, sometime, some way McGraw will inject his personality into the fray and turn the scale in favor of the Giants. GETTING THE ENEMY’S GOAT. O many this means merely that Mc- 6% Graw will turn some little tricks of judgment, at critical times, that will give his men the advantage. To others it means that he will put into play that medieval but still permitted practice of blackguarding opposing players into a state of wrath and cor- responding unfitness to attend to their duties. To still others it may mean a& guarantee that whatever emergency arises will be handled in the best pos- sible manner. Perhaps, in fact, it means all of these. McGraw is, in fact, the little Napoleon who is there with all of this sort of stuff. The even money price offered is the best testimony to the fans’ ap- preciation of the work that McGraw has so long and so consistently accomplished for his team. ( a * + MATTY BEARS THE BURDEN. UT in this particular instance one RB is inclined to think too much credit is being given to the part McGraw will play in this world’s series battle. There is scarcely a doubt that the result of the series is up to Christy Mathewson. If he fails, the Giants seem certain to fall. It is Matty, not McGraw, who will be the prop of this struggle. o a * MUGGSY’S GOOD MOVE. HAT McGRAW’S judgement can be 1 relied on is to be seen from that little trick he turned in midsea- son—one that probably put his team in line for the great dash toward the flag it began to make immediately after- wards. That was when McGraw threw Devlin into the junk heap, traded Brid- well and Donlin, and brought Herzog

back from Boston. It takes nerve to interfere with an infield to the extent of displacing two regulars; but McGraw evidently had his men gauged to perfection; and though Devlin helped him win one pennant and is a great personal friend besides, John J. cut ruthlessly in face of the needs of the team. He was justified by the immediate improvement shown by the club, Fletcher and Herzog have added to the speed and accuracy of the infield work. + . * TYRUS COBB STANDS PAT. VIDENTLY Tyrus Cobb thinks fF that .417, his present batting aver- age, is good enough to win the world’s championship. He made a big mistake in staying out of the St. Louls series, however, for there is little doubt but that he could have added to the plumpness of his batting figure by pounding the Browns’ weanling fling- ers. Unless pitcher; get a strong drag with the committee that is to deter- mine who is the most valuable player in the world, Tyrus Cobb will get the automobile, hands down. He is with- out a peer in batting, with .417; he has stolen 83 bases; he is the leading run- getter of the country; he leads in extra base hits and he leads in the number of actual hits madé. In addition he covers more ground in the field than probably any other fly-chaser. He has broken up game after game with his trusty willow and has been a big factor in winning games for his mates, It will be hard to jockey the ‘“‘Gevr- gia Peach out of the prize. IN A BAD PREDICAMENT. ARRY DAVIS has a three-year H contract he would like to dispose of. It is to manage the Cleve- land club, next season, and Harry thinks that no roses will be strewn ‘n his path by the citizens of the Forest City when he takes the reins, next year out of the hands of George Sto- vall. Cleveland is pleased with the work of the man who pulled the Naps out of the ruck and set them a-going like near-pennant winners. Davis feels that he will be looked upon as an interloper. In truth, it was a bad piece of judgment that displaced Stovall after he had established a win- ning combination. However, the Naps have been put on their feet, now, and the machine will work with very little direction. Davis’ way has virtually been made for him by Stovall. In the meantime, if there is any thought of getting a new man for the Browns, why, here’s timber for you, Colonel. ,

— we | - New York Money Will Send Giants to Post Choices Over Rivals PHILADELPHIA, Oct. T. HE New York Giants will take - the field against the Philadel- phia Athletics on Oct. 14 as 6 to 5 favorites for the world’s cham- pionship series, according to the bet- ting here. Half a miliion dollars, it is estimated, will be wagered on the contest. One Philadelphia syndicate has $36,000 to bet against the Athletics, while several brokers have got together $30,000 with which to take the short end. Ten thousand dollars yesterday was bet by two local brokers, one taking the Giants and the other the Athletics. The bet was made at even money, but later was called off to be resumed at the prevailing odds on the first game of the series. There are many freak bets, one of $500 to $50 that the Giants will not win three straight: another of $150 to $300 that Mathewson will be knocked out of the box after the first game, and another that Bender will not allow the Giants more than three hits. If Mathewson pitches the first game for the Giants. local ‘‘fans’’ figure New York a 7 to 5 bet on the single game.

St. Louis University students have obtained a round-trip rate of $3.75 for the round trip to Champaign, IIL, for the football game between St. Louis Univergity and Illinois next Saturday.

JONES AND HOERR HAVE HARD MATCH Drummond Jones and Roland Hoerr will meet Tyson Dines and Sidney Overall in the final match of doubles of the: City Championship Tourna- ment 6n the Triple A courts in Forest Park this @ternoon. The match is scheduled to start at 8 o’clock. Jones and Hoerr defeated Purvis and Janis Friday, 6-—3, 6—1l. Purvis and Janis played good tennis at the start, but weakened. Jones and Hoerr are counted almost certain winners this afternoon, although Dines and Overall have won some hard matches and have proved the surprise of the tournament, BASEBALL ALIBI TO SAVE PRISON TERM CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—One man was re- warded yesterday for his devotion to baseball. Charged with breaking into an apartment on the afternoon of Sept. 14, Nicholas-Brown testified that on the afternoon/in question, he was at the Cub ballpark. “How did you happen to be there on that particular day?’ inquired Judge Caverly of the Municipal Ceurt, The Judge sent for a score card. ‘““Who pitched for. the Cubs?” asked the Court, “Ed. Reulbach,”’/ said Brown. “And who pitched for Philadelphia?” “Alexander the Great.” The Court consfdered this a good alibi, and continued the case until Oct. 11 for further inquiry.

Fifty girls in attendance at the booths made a rush for the ball players and attempted to kiss them. The players made a hasty retreat and declare that they are done with semi-public social engagements for a while at least. The party included Fred Merkle, Louls Drucke, C. L. Herzog,.Grover C. Hart- ley, Bert Maxwell, Leon Ames and John Murray. Later in the evening the en- tire team attended the Langford-Caponi fight at the Twentieth Century AthioG « Club.

REVIEWS OF NEW BOOKS ~ AFTERWORD. M ARY MACLANHP is back again: Do you remember hcw the piain, The barrenness, and the town of Butte Used to render destitute That sad young life in days of yore? Well, nothing like that any more. Nine long years have passed away Since Mary made that weird display Of what she felt and what she thought, And in her youthful folly brought The ridicule of all the earth Upon her head, occasioned mirth Unprecedented of its. kind, And made of Butte, concealed behind Its mountains, easily the best Divertisement in all the West. Much good gotd resulted from That droll portrait of Mary glum, And therewith has she been about A bit since it was gotten out. She’s been in many a far away And distant place since yestercay, And after all, the truth to tell, The town of Butte does very well. She's back again, at any rate— Older, wiser, more sedate. 7 after all, So she concludes, nor would sie Herself another. Bashkirtsef. Moreover, she takes back the theft Of those three dollars. That Of the Httle lies she counted fur When she was only ten and nine. The olive, too, is not so fine As once it was. She likes a dry Martini better. My O,; my! Wer kith and kin are dear to her- You wilt recall) her frequent slur Upon them all, ard what a jest The six tooth brushes made, at best. “ever, but ridiculous child!” Says Mary now, grown very mild, But still, for all her turning flank. A pretty thoroughgoing crank. She has not married. Ah! Not she. Though many a man has sought to be That devil whom she one time soug)! And mourned because she found not.

For this reason she rejects David Hull, the figurehead of reform, leader of the “holy boys,” while her heart goes out to Dorn and the im- possible. To Dorn she is simply the embodiment of alluring femininity which would ieag him from the hard path in which he has set-his feet. From this point the struggle is two- fold. Dorn is trying to break the political influences which have con- trolled his town under the _ able manipulation of one Kelly, a typical American politician. He is also try- ing to solve the great social equation in which he and Jane Hastings are important factors. He solves both of them, too, in the only logfmal way in which they can be solved. (Apple- ton.) “CHILDREN OF TOMORROW.” LARA E. LAUGHLIN, author of & “Just Folks,’’ etce., publishes a new novel which she calls ‘‘Chil- dren of Tomorrow.” Many subjects are touched—political, social, artistic and economic. The story opens with the family life of a governor of one of our states. There is a strike in the state which ties up a certain industry. The Governor knows that the strikers are in the right, and he refuses to call out the militia. Feeling. runs high against him. His family is away at a summer resort, and he gives himself wholly to meeting the problems oftheday. The strike ne- cessitates a special secretary to read let- ters coming in from all parts of the state. .A woman does this work secret- ly to earn some money. Her husband, employed in the office of the employer concerned in the strike, objects to her doing this work. The Governor and the woman become attached to each other, and she feels it is best for them to part. lier husband, observing their friend- ship, becomes insanely ‘jealous and shoots the Governor. His wife disap- pears with their little daughter. As the man kills himself, the motive for the crime remains unknown, generally believed that the Governor was killed by a fanatic who was crag#ed by heing out of employment on account of the strike, This ends the first part of the novel. The second part takes place 15 years The children of the Governor are and it is. Pall rules of critica) ‘‘slugging” it ought to have been a complete and final knock- cut This was when the Bayard Taylor translation of Goethe’s Faust was first published. About the same time when people in the United States were first showing an increasing tendency to read Geethe, Prof. Wilkinson gave Goethe birnself a series of right and left hand- ers which might have stopped him in the United States if anything could have Cone so. This slight suggestion will help to explain the scope of ‘“‘The Good of Life and Other Little Essays,’ by Prof. Wiikinson. They include his latest es- says, which exalt love, optimism and kindness as the ‘“‘good of life.”’ They in- clude other esseys “on everything in general and so forth,’ as is explained in a Latin motto. This Latin motto goes back to the good old days when Prof. Wilkinson was fresher from college than be is now, fuller of Greek and Latin than he is now, and much more disposed to. administer critical uppercuts to those he disagrees with than he is now. In fact, he now seems to have relapsed wholly into his habits as a deep student of divinity and to have made up his mind to forgive everybody on earth, ex- cep: a Missouri Senator he does not name. In “Hating as a Duty,” he reaches hard for the solar plexus of some unnamed Missouri Senator be- cause he finds him showing his own sense of uncommon superiority by in- sulting a common waiter in the railroad dintng car. In this way, by including his most modern views with those that sere modern when he disapproved Bay- ard Taylor for writing “newspaper Kn- eish,’’ Prof. Wilkinson (who now writes considerable newspaper English himself) is interesting on every topic he touches and also on the “‘some others,”’ he mere- ly suggests as being all in the lifetime others will know more about when they know as much as he does. (Funk-Wag- nalhe.) “ADVENTURES OF BOBBY ORDE.” ITTLE Bobby Orde was a manly lit- a tle chap who became enthusiastic about every little thing that other boys do and many things that the av- erage boy never notices. His greatest liking was for the rugged outdoor life and his happiest moments were when he was riding logs in a “boom,” should- ering hia little 22 rifle or solving the mysteries of a printing office. Early in life he learned that ‘‘the match is not lost till the last shot’s fired’’ and this lesson stuck with him. He had his lit- tle childish love affairs; his show-off days and his disappointmen's, but in the main his life was so rugged and earnest that it will interest the older orn rr eee PRR LAL ABA S LAS DE aa TOS “Pam a1 (0) .

This knight of the road is a queer mixture of philosophy and mystery. The author probably had in mind W. J. Locke’s ‘‘Paragot,’’ when he drew the character. The story runs along rather slowly until chance brings Irving Payne to the automobile races at Briarcliffe. A multimiliionaire’s son whom Irving knows slightly is hurt. The doctors say he will not recover unless blood transfusion is resorted to immediately.
