Mr-
Deport-Bo^ata Games.
Deport and Bogata played
three games of base ball Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday of last
week. In the first game, played
at Bogata Thursday, the score
was fi to 1 - in favor of Bogata.
Batteries: Bogata, Hill and Fur-
gerson; Deport, Samples and
Lawler. Features of the game
were the hitting of Furgerson
and Greer of Bogata. %
The second game, played Pr\
day at Deport resulted in a score
of 3 to 1 in favor of Bogata.
Batteries: Bogata, Holt and Fur-
gerson; Deport, Jackson and
Lawler.
Saturday’s game at Deport
was won by Deport. Score 6 to
5. Batteries: Bogata, Hill and \
Furgerson; Deport, Hall and I
Harnett. Features were the
heavy hitting of both teams.
Keeping Peas.
BL
Deport-Annona Games.
There has been a great crop
of peas grown in this section
this year. Weevils destroy a
great quantity of peas put away
for winter use and we give our
readers the following recipe to
keep them out:
Peas may be kept in the hull if
desired, but they are more easi-
ly stored when threshed. For
weevils evaporate carbon bisul-
phide over the peas. The gas
from the bisulphide of carbon
being heavier than air will pene-
trate the crevices of the bin or
barrel and kill the weevils. Par-
is green mixed with air-slaked
lime will kill the bugs. Use
about a tablespoonful of Paris
green to a pint of air-slaked lime
and dust on in the morning
while the dew is on.
A Tragic Event.
It was a town girl—and the
sam& sad story that, alas, has
often been told, and checkered
many a young life which had its
beginning in sunshine, surround-
ed by luxury and the wealth of
tbe world. Her eyes were now
wild and staring, her face was
flushed and her hands were
nervously working. She was a
deeply troubled and injured wo-
man, and her saying: "Oh, cruel
one, you have injured thd very
foundation of my bein&. Day
by day you have tortured me,
and yet I could not bear to give
yon up. When first we met,
how your ease and polish attract-
ed. When you became my own,
how my friends envied me. But
your understanding is too small
for my large soul. You aro op-
posed to my advancing myself.
You have injured my standing in
society. If we had never met, I
might have walked in peace. So
now be gone. We part forever."
There was a moment's convul-
sive breathing, a gritting of
teeth and a sharp sigh. It was
all over. By a supreme effort
she had pulled of her new shoes.

Annona came to Deport for
three games of ball on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. Mon-
day’s game was won by Deport.
Score 8 to 1. Batteries: An
nona, Quinn and Titus; Deport,
Jackson and Lawler. Features

Hayes.

a victory for Deport, the score

very loose and uninteresting.
Batteries: Annona, Burton and
Pipkin; Deport, Hall and Barnett.
Wednesday’s game resulted in
a score of fi to 2 in favor of De-
l>ort and was the best game of
the series. Batteries: Annona,
Berry and Hall; Deport, Hayes
and Lawler.

“Well, Bobby,” said the min-
ister to the small son of one ol
the deacons, "what is the news?”
"Popper’s got a new set of
false teeth.” *
“Indeed” said the minister,
restraining a desire to laugh.
"And what will he do with the
old set.”
“Oh, I suppose,” replied Bob-
by, “they’ll cut ’em down and
make me wear ’em.”
Getting Rid of the Fleas.
The following article from the
Hunter, Trader and Trapper,
shows the wisdom of a fox in
running the fleas off his body:
Back in 1850 in Fleming
County, Kentucky, I was return-
ing from a squirrel hunt, and
stopped near a creek to rest.
I had been there quite a little
while when I noticed a fox coming
down a lane with something in
his mouth. At first I thought it
was a young chicken, but when
he came nearer I could plainly
see that I was mistaken. 1 could
have shot him easily, but this
was summer and I had no de-
sire to kill fur that was no good,
so I watched him closely and he
went down to a little creek, got
upon a log and snflffed the air
and looked all around and finally
went down to the water and
It is safe to say that a very
small per cent of consumers are
capable of accurately judging,
by personal inspection, the qual
ity and value of the many ar-
ticles they ijuy and use.
Inferior materials and work-
manship may be effectually con-
cealed beneath veneers,—a de-
ception that can hardly be de-
tected nntil the goods have been
purchased, paid for and put to
the use for which they are in-
tended. In many cases—for ex-
ample, in canned goods and oth-
er preserved edibles—consum-
ers are frequently deceived or
misled.
How many buyers of shoes are
competent to judge for themsel-
ves in the quality and actual val-
ue of a shoe? Paper, composi-
tion and other inferior materials
may easily be substituted for
leather and unwary purchasers
be none the wiser until too late
for the information gained to be
of possible benefit to them.
This same line of reasoning |
applies to clothes, hats, furni-
ture, stoves, carpets, rugs, pi-
anos, talking machines, watches,
jewelry, breakfast foods, tools—
practically all of the almost
countless articles in common use.
Manufacturers who have spent
much time and large sums of
money to establish favorable rep-
utations for products bearing
their names, or trade names,
positively cannot afford to mis-
represent their goods to the
public, or to allow their lines to
fall below the standards they
have established. Goods upon
which they place their names
most come up to the claims they
make for them and must render
purchasers continuous, uniform
service at a reasonable cost.
Otherwise the demand for them
will cease, thus destroying their
greatest asset.

Two Marylanders who were
visitingthe National museum at
ashington, were standing in
front of an Egyptian mummy,
over which hung a plac. d bear
ing the inscription, "B. C. 1187.”
Both visitors were much
mystified thereby. Said one:
"What do you make of that,
Bill?’’
"Well,” said Bill, "I dunno,

There are 1000 “cheap” paints
and a dozen really cheap ones.
That double word “cheap” is the
cause of wasting more money
than good paint costs, two or
three times over. Cheap paint
is good paint; there is no other;
no other is cheap. The two
words sound alike but their
meanings are opposite. "Cheap”
costs double. Cheap is Devoe.
