Big Shutout Scores In the Modern' His
tory of the Game.
In the early days baseball ■white
washing a team was one of the most
sensational episodes of the game. The
ball was so lively, with plenty of rub
ber between the covers, th« pitcher's
delivery so restricted and the fielding,
owing to the Inevitable trftnendwis
batting, so loose that to prevent a team
from scoring was considered almost a
miracle. Bfg scores -were the rule,
sometime^ going frito' 100 runs. When
the Mutuals to afadt 61frt the Chl
cagos, the seeri being 0 to ft, it tfefted
an excitement all otfel? tlwf coon try, the
memory of which lasted for mote tfcari
a score of years. Occasionally even
now we hear of a team being "Chi
cagoed."
Because of the radical changes In the
rules of thfe' game It v^otirf be rather
misleading to mWBuro present atand
ards with the models Set op hi "an
cient" days. "Modern" baseball his
tory begins In 1890.
In the major leagues (National league
and American association) big shutout
scores had been registered in the an
cient days—28-0 to 1888; S*-0 in 1886
and 1S87 and 2&-0 in 188a Brit the
record in modern history i» 19-0 to the
National league and 21-0 in the Ameri
can. __ ^ ^
Three times to the National league a
score of 19-0 wis tufned to. The first
was made on July 15, 1893, In a game
in Pittsburgh, this Pirated shutting out
the WashlngtOns by these figures.
Three years later, nearly to the day
(July 8, 1896), the feat was repeated,
the Pirates again shutting out the
Washingtons, 19-0.
The third 19-0 game was played at
New York on June f, 1906; Chicago de
feating the Glints;
In tho American leigtid Detroit shut
out Cleveland, 21-0, on Sept 15, 1901,
and on Aug. 81, 1907, New York shut
out Washington, 2(M). — Philadelphia

! CAPTURED THE AUDIENCE.
Ned Harrigan'a Plea at tha Critical
Point In a Play.
Edward Harrigan once said that the
most trying moment in his theatrical
career occurred in New Orleans soon
after the war between the states. He
had gone south with his company and,
yielding somewhat to popular request,
put on "The Blue and the Gray."
The play had been a success up
north, but down south, with the air
still full of the bitterness of the war,
it was a dangerous experiment Tony
Hart was to represent the Confederate
gray, so he hunted up a uniform of the
Louisiana Tigers, and when he came
marching on, young, stalwart, hand
some, the typical soldier boy In' the
beloved uniform, the hOtiSe, men and
women, cheered and shouted and cried
for all their heroes embodied in this
boy.
Harrigan, standing in the wlngB in
his northern blue, waiting to go on,
had Just one thought—"They'll kill
me!" Then he stepped oiit, the em
bodiment of the enemy, and a cold,
dead silence fell upon the house. Not
a hand moved for him. Thfe atidiehc®
was tense with emotion, and there
was only an instant to act if the play
was to be saved.
Harrigan, big, kindly, good looking,
came swiftly down to the front and
stopped over the footllght gutter, lean
ing down to them. "For the love of
heaven, won't you give the Yankee a
hand?" he exclaimed.
At once the house was caught and
all the pentup feeling turned the right
way. There was a yell of applause
and the audience was won.
Opening the Stubb'Ot*n Knife,
Does your penknife blade refuse to
open? Here is a certain and easy
method of bringing it to terms.
Place one corner of your handker
chief over the back of the stubborn
blade and wind the rest of It tightly
around the knifte. Hold the opposite
corner between the first and second
fingers of your right hand (IIP yon are
right handed) and throw the knife from
you with some speed. Go over and
pick it up and you will find the blade
opened. I have yet to find a knife so
rusty that it will not yield to this treat
ment, and—It does save the thumb nails.
—Outing.

TRAVEL AS AN EDUCATOR."
Seeing the World and It* Wonder*
Broadens the Mind.
Millions of people never travel Ris
ing day after day, they look out upon
the same scenes, go through the same
daily tasks and tumble Into the same
bed again at night, no different than
they were the day before.
Each year thousands are traveling
for the first time, not only the wealthy,
but the middle class and even the poor
est. They are coming to view travel
not as an extravagance, but as the
price of cbmfort, health, experience
and knowledge. Ocean liners are ver
itable floating hotels, with ballrooms,
promenades and conservatories, while
trains are the last word in comfort
with their thickly upholstered seats
and handsomely appointed dining cars
witi up to the minute service.
The educational value of travel b be
ginning to have the greatest weight
Boys and girls who have been to the
best schools help complete their edu
cation by seeing the world or soch
parts of it as tlielr time and circum
stances will permit The grown up
who is wise realizes the broadening in
fluence of travel and counts each day
Well spent that brings him new expe
riences in foreign fields. No one can
fall to be uplifted by seeing some of
God's masterpieces or the handiwork
of man in picture, sculpture, cathedral
and splendid public edifices. Nor la it
necessary to leave one's own country.
There Is plenty to be seen and learned
in our home land if we will only go in
search of It—Ksthleen Hills In Les
lie's.
STANDARD TIME.
The Railroad Confusion That Existed
Before Its Adoption.
Prior to 1SS3 time differences caused
especially confusing complications on
railroads In the United States. It was
formerly customary for a road to use
throughout large sections of its terri
tory the local time of one of the prin
cipal cities through which it passed.
The result was that when two rail
roads met in some smaller town it fre
quently happened that they were run
ning under widely different time sys
tems. As many as five different kinds
of time were thus simultaneously In
use in a single town.
It was the need of an international
standard of time that led to this prime
meridian confercnce at Washington In
18S2. This recommehded the use of
the Greenwich civil time, reckoned
from zero up to twenty-four hours.
In , accordance with this resolution
and to remedy the aforementioned dif
ficulty the United States and Canada
selected a series of standard meridians
differing in longitude from that of
Greenwich, England, by exact multi
ples of 10 degrees.
On Oct. 18, 1883, a convention was
called by W. F. Allen, secretary of the
general railway time convention, which
decided on the introduction of standard
time, to take effect on Nov. 18, 1883,
and on that day the change to the pres
ent system was made without any diffi
culty—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
How the Dust Gets In.
When the barometer falls the air
around expands into a large volume,
and the air inside the bookcase, the
clothes closet and the cupboard also
expands and forces itself out at every
minute crevice. When the barometer
rises again the air Inside the cupboard,
as well as outside, condenses and
shrinks and the air is forced back Into
the cupboard to equalize the pressure,
and along with the air in goes the
dust The smaller the crevice the
stronger the Jet of air, the farther
goes the dirt Witness the dirt tracks
so often seen in imperfectly framed
engravings or photographs. Remember,
whenever you see the barometer rising,
that an additional charge of dust is
entering your cupboard and bureau
drawers.
Grave Humor.
The punster is irrepressible. He even
Indites his Jokes on tombstones. An
epitaph In Waltham abbey Informs ns
that Sir James Fullerton died "fuller
of faith than of fears, fuller of resolu
tions than of pains, fuller of honor
than of days."
There Is another of Daniel Tears:
"Though strange, yet true, full seventy
years was his wife happy in her Tears."
This was written of an organist:
"Here lies one blown out of breath who
lived a merry life and died a Merldeth."
.Another says: "Here lies Thomas
Huddlestone. Reader, don't smile, but
reflect as this tombstone you view that
Death, who killed him, in a very short
while will huddle a stone upon you."—
Pearson's Weekly.
Easily Changed.
"Is your portable garage satisfac
tory?"
"Oh, yes," replied the suburban
dweller; "It suits me very well, and
I'm glad for my wife's sake that I
bought the portable kind."
"Why so?"*
"She's had it moved half a dozen
times because she didn't think it looked
well from the street"—Birmingham
Age-Herald.
Preparednet*.
"When my husband proposed to me
the poor fellow's voice stuck in his
throat."
"Then how did you know he was
proposing?"
"Well, you see, I was afraid that
might happen, so I had taken lessons
in lip reading."—Boston Transcript

Publicity
T HAS BEEN Demonstrated
that when a man has some
thing to sell worth selling his
success is assured by letting
the people know about it.
Many business enterprises that should be
prosperous die of neglect because the
public attention and interest have not
been stimulated and attracted to the wares
No matter what it may be if it is reason
ably priced and good in quality your
success is" assured by intelligent adver
tising and plenty of it.
