Parliamentary Suspension.
Sir Henry Lucy drops a hint from
the “Cross Benches" in the Observer
as to the “suspension" of members of

get themselves named and suspended
on purpose to achieve a compulsory
holiday? Eight pounds a week will
make for modest comfort at Brighton
Or Eastbourne. The member of par
liament is paid whether he is in the
bouse or at Margate or in the Clock
Tower. Budapest has a more drastic
way. If the member is suspended he
is fined 16 shillings a day. That

Convicts College Students.
More than 50 convicts are enrolled :
^ at the State Agricultural college at I
Manhattan, taking the various courses
offered at the college. They are, so
far as is known, the only convict col
lege Btudents in the United States.
Few, if any, of the convicts have ever
seen the college building, and it w’ill
be some time before any of them can
see it, btrt nevertheless they are en
rolled students doing regular work.
AJ1 the convict college students are
inmates of the United States peniten
tiary here. They do their class work
in their cells and mail their lesson pa
pers to the college for correction.
Some of the convicts are studying ag
riculture. some civil engineering, oth
ers mechanics, and some are studying
aairying. Nearly all of the students
enrolled in the agricultural or dairy
courses are men employed on the
prison farm or in the dairy.—Leaven

MEMORY- IMPROVED.
Swce Leaving Off Coffee.
Many persons suffer from poor
aemory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it.
The drug—caffeine—in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
mmu much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.
“I am nearly seventy years old and
did not know that coffee was the
cause of the stomach and heart trou
ble I suffered from for many years,
until about four years ago,-' writes a
Kansas woman.
"A kind neighbor induced me to
quit coffee and try Postum. I had
been suffering severely and was
greatly reduced in flesh. After using
Postum & little while I found myself
improving. My heart beats became
» regular and now I seldom ever no
tice any symptoms of my old stom
ach trouble at all. My nerves are
steady and my memory decidedly
better than while I was using coffee.
, “1 like the taste of Postum fully as
well as coffee.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, "The
Road to Wellville.”
Postum comes In two forms.
Regular (must be boiled).
Instant Postum doesn't require
boiling but is prepared Instantly by
stirring a level teaspoonful in an or
dinary cup of hot water, whfch makes
It right for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
people who like strong things put In
a heaping spoonful and temper it with
& large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the
' amount that pleases your palate and
have it served that way in the future.

LEAGUE MANAGERS ARE MEN OF EXPERIENCE
Miller Huggins of St. Louis.
All of the managers in the two big*
aaseball leagues have had actual ex- j
perience in the game. Even Stallings
was a big league catcher many years 1
ago. Of the sixteen managers one is
a catcher, two are first basemen, two
second basers, one shortstop and two
outfielders—eight, in all. still In the
game. All the rest, except Mack and
Stallings, have been in the game so
recently that they can practice with
their men and know, by actual feel
of the bat and ball, just how every
thing is going along. Two—McGraw
and Jennings—are graduates of the
great Baltimore team. Three—Chance, !
Evers and Tinker—worked together
on the conquering Cubs. Oddly enough, I
three more—Dahlen, Callahan and
Griffith—all had their schooling on the ,
Chicago team that preceded the Cubs
—a gang of merry "joy-riders,” whose ;
individual abilities were great, but ,
who could win no flags. Stallings is
» come-back.
Evers. Tinker and Huggins got their
first show this spring. Chance has
been transferred from one league to
the other. As to the actual skill and
Bill Dahlen of Brooklyn.
j knowledge of the game these man
agers may possess—it might be figured
! this way; If each of them had the
arm and the wind that he had a few
years ago what team of either league
could stand against them? How far
would any club get if matched against
this aggregation: Doom, catcher:
Griffith and Callahan. pitchers;
Chance, first; Elvers or Huggins, sec
ond; Jennings, Dahlen or Tinker,
short; McGraw, third: Clarke, Bir
mingham, Stahl, outfield. ,
Marry New Catcher*.
I Six major league clubs have new
' catchers in the role of first string
j maskmen thiB season. In the National
Ivy Wingo replaces Bresnahan at St.
Louis, Tom dark has Larry McLean's !
job at Cinchmati. Rarklen ts in fOing’s
Bob toe shoes and Kelly and Simon
are doing most of Gibson's Pittsburgh
•work. OveT in tie American Ray
Schalck is the So* regular and Agnew
has Stephens' place with Stovall. Then,
with Otto Miller at Brooklyn, Henry
and Ainsworth at kVashington, Cady
at Boston and O'Neill at Cleveland the
day of the young catcher has apparent
ly arrived.
To Develop Thorpe.
Jim Thorpe, the famous Indian
athlete who made such a big noise in
the baseball world some time ago. but
who has not been heard from since the 1
season started, may develop into a 1
good pitcher. The red man has been
practicing with the spit ball and Is •
confident that he will be able to mas-*
ter this style of delivery. The Giants
will hold on to the Indian, as it is be
lieved that he will make a good player
In time.
Sure of Flag.
Manager Griffith of the Washington
baseball team, who made such a great |
showing last year, is quoted as saying
“Barring accidents, we will surely win
the American league flag this year. We j
finished second last year and certainly i
ought tp improve this season and if we !
better our position we are bound to ;
win the pennant.’’

Cree Like* Polo Grounds.
,, Birdie Cree, the Highlanders' star
outfielder, is rather pleased with play
ing on the Pclo grounds. In a recent !
game Birdie poled a double, triple, a
sacrifice' fly and w as given a base on •

BIG SALARIES IN BASEBALL
Average Player Receives Six Times
as Much Money as Average Min
ister—t^hance to Think.
It must take an ordinary, or even
extraordinary, lawyer, doctor or min
ister very, very much fatigued to read,
day after day, of the fanciful salary
figures'" that are being printed of and
concerning diverse and sundry dark
necks who are capable of hitting
above .300 and stealing a few, now
and then, says the Milwaukee Senti
nel. Indeed, if these worthy profes
sional gentlemen who have probably
denied themselves years of fun and
amusement have scrimped and pinched
In every way to get an education and
have made themselves and families
economize until they could get estab
lished, stop to think at all about the
matter, it must make them sick at
heart and peeved at the confounded
order of things that makes such a
condition possible.
The average ballplayer gets Eix
times as much salary as the average
minister, probably three ‘ or four
times as much as the average lawyer
and from two to three times as much
as the average doctor, and all because
he neglected brains for brawn. When
one stops to think how many good
barbers, brakemen and bartenders
there are getting more than doctors,
lawyers and preachers, It knocks the J
props out from under his idea of the
fitness of things.
There is a chance here for a lot of
comment, but the object of this little
preachment largely is to get you folks
thinking about it. Try it. If you
don’t get "hot,” then it’s because a
kindly fate has declared you in on
this easy "stuff.”
WHITE HAS SHUT-OUT HONORS

Blanking Foes, Not Jack Chesbro,

George L. Moreland, the Pittsburgh

tending to prove that "Doc” Harry

lished the world’s record for consecu- ]
tive runless innings for 45 innings and
“Doc" White.
not Cbesbro for the Highlanders with
42 as recently contended. White shut
out Cleveland. St. Louis, Detroit, New
York and the Athletics in nine inning
games in 1904.
Narrows' Chances.
Manager Ganzel of Rochester has re
ceived a letter from Roland Barrows,
in which the injured outfielder said
that his physicians had told him that
he need fear no permanent injury to
his left leg. Barrows is optimistic that
he will be &{)le to get into harness
again at least by August 1.
Weight of Pirates’ Bats.
A statistical person has figured out
that the bats used by the Pirates in
the twenty-six seasons they have been
in the big leagues represent 1.379.0S0
ounces, or 80,130 pounds, or 43 tons
of wood. It's all right, but, according
to our figuring, 1,379,080 ounces make
86,192 pounds.
Wood's 1913 Salary.
Joe Wood's 1913 salary is said to be
$7,500, more than any other pitcher in
the American league is getting, not
#ven excepting Waish of the White
Sox and Johnson of the Washington
club. Wood is the star pitcher of the
Boston American league team.
Increase Seating Capacity.
President Comiskey of the White
Sox plans to increese the seating ca
pacity of his park from 30,000 to 45,000
for 1914. The changes contemplated
will involve an expenditure of more
than $150,000.
Jackson After Record.
P.asebal! writers, critics and fans in
cluded claim that Joe Jackson, the
hard-hitting right fielder of the Naps,
will break all previous records in bat
ting this season.
Announce Each Batter.
President John H. Farrell of the
New York State league has instructed
his umpires to announce the name of
each batter when be comes to bat the
first time.
Better Than Expected.
While the chances to fly a pennant
in St. Louis are away outside, neither
the Cardinals nor the Browns are as
punk as they were touted to be before
the opening of the season.
No-Hit Game.
Pitcher Friedley of the Attica, Ohio,
team twirled a no-hit-no-run game
against the Bucyrus High. He al&
fanned IS batters in this game.
THE LURE OF THE WEST
WE8TERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOU8ANDS OF SETTLERS.
Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
“The West still calls ytfth impera
tive voice. To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontario’s
young men and women are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear, freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
tbe lakes to the farther coast of Van
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers In the West."
This is true. While the immigra
tion from the United States Is large,
running close to 150,000 a year, that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, mak
ing a total of 400,000 per year, there
la a strong influx from Eastern Can- ■
ada. It is not only into the prairie 1
provinces that these people go, but
many of them continue westward, the
glory of British Columbia’s great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds of thou
sands. who at once set to work to cul
tivate their vast holdings. There is
still room, and great opportunity in
the West. The work of man’s hands,
even in the cities with their record
breaking building rush, is the small-^
est part of the great panorama that
is spread before tbe eye on a journey
through the country. Nature is still
supreme, and man is still the divine j
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
uneccquered haif continent i
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the “home-making spirit.” The
West will fir.d happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and universi
ties. and producing a home environ
ment so that there will be no disposi
tion tc regard the country as a tem
porary place of abode in which every
one is trying to make his pile prepar
atory to going back East or .becoming
a lotus-eater beside tbe Pacific.
Tbe lure of the West is strong. It
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages of the plains
are embowered in trees and vocal
with the song of birds.—Advertise

FUNERAL HONORS FOR A MARE

boys. The coffin was rose lined. Mr.

Perhaps Betty Green's terrible form
