This match .was very close and finally hinged on a ten-foot putt by the deliberate member. He sighted John G.

"You didn't think I' was going to hole that one, did you?" he inquired turning to one opponent.

Diminutive Twlrler Has Done Won ders in Helping White Sox Was Regarded as Too Small to Make Good In' the Big Show. Little Dick Kerr, midget fllnger of Gleason's slab corps, has made the Kast sit up and take notice, writes George B. Robblns in a Boston special to Chicago Dally News. Kerr was much underrated In this section. Now he Is taken seriously as a "sure thing" pitcher. Urging that Kerr was "too small to make good" in the big show, these easterners mentioned the oft-repeated assertion that the White Sox had only two pitchers. ) "Gleason has won the flag with two pitchers," they declared. This lad, Kerr, no bigger than an ordinary kid of fourteen years, haa won recognition by hard work. "Kerr Is a second string pitcher at the most a good finisher but a poor starter," said an eastern fan several weeks ago. "He Is too small to cope Twith the heavy batsmen of the Ameri can league." Three months of American league history have been reeled off, replete with startling episodes. The record of this tiny pitcher cer tainly entitles him to recognition. 1 It is to be recalled that Kid Gleason himself was slow to admit Kerr to the select circle of regular pitchers. The it Dick Kerr. Kid, too, figured little Dick was too much of a midget to make good as a regular. He expected to keep him as a finisher of games; Gleason has been agreeably sur prised In Kerr. When given a chance to start games this pygmy has sur prised his friends and confounded his critics. He has made good with a vengeance.

FINE FOR CITY OR COUNTRY Residence With Garage Attached Is Designed for the Prospective Builder Who Wants an Economical Home. By WM. A. RADFORD. Mr. William A. Radford will answer S2Bron" a,?d &v dvlce FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readen of tSS J1 n .""at of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he ls T.ullout doubt, the hlg-heat authority wm AUbteS: Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford. No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, I1L. and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. The determination to build a home is not arrived at hastily; and after that object has been fixed In mind there is required on the part of a great proportion of home builders the saving of money, enough to make the first payment of such an amount that the . contractor who erects the home, the . lumber and material dealer who furnishes the materials, and the bank er, who many times supplies the money, are assured that the builder will stick to his determination. Get ting ready to build the home requires time in many instances. After the site Is secured and the prospective builder has reached the point when he will enter Into the contract for the erection of the home, then comes the time to select the design of house that Is wanted. Ideas of what Is Ideal In a home are as varied as taste In. dress. Some build ers would have nothing but a bunga low, while others would have anything but a bungalow. A great number of builders, however, have fixed upon the stucco house as the most attractive In exterior appearance and select a design for this type of house. It is to this class of prospective builders that the house shown In the accompanying illustration will appeal. Here Is a stucco house that will give the builders about the maximum amount of home for his money. It is of frame construction, with stucco ap plied to either wooden or metal lath. or some one of the various sheathing materials designed 'for this type of home. Being rectangular In shape, It is the least expensive to construct. But by the addition of the sun parlor at one side, and the garage at the other, It has k well-balanced, attrac tive appearance, enhanced by the pan eied effect In the gable. The dimensions of this house are only 26 by 36 feet, but It requires a lot 60 feet or more wide, as the sun par lor projects 10 feet at one side and the garage 20 feet at the other. How ever, the garage may be located at the rear of the house, or may be smaller, as this was designed to hold two cars. The advantage of having the garage adjoining the house Is that the heat- L tt . 4 nasi noon ing plant In the home may be used to warm the garage, which is well to do, as It prolongs the life of the tires and makes the machine available at all times. While the home as shown in the il lustration is set on a brick foundation, concrete may be used. The basement WEBS OF SPUN QUARTZ. Recently artificial spiders' webs have been made from threads of spun juartz. They are wonderfully fine, n-ith much the same appearance as strands of real cobweb and actually catch flies fairly well when the fibers have been stroked with a straw pre viously dipped In castor" oil. The oil takes the place of the gluten in an ordinary spider's web, giving to the counterfeit the requisite thickness. It has even been found possible to at tract a spider to such a - web by a tuning fork vibrating near the latter, thus suggesting the buzz of a trap ped fly. Philadelphia Ledger. Definition of Kindness. , The teacher of the intermediate room had been trying to teach her pupils the value of many virtues such as truthfulness, honesty, kind ness, etc. To test their knowledge she gave them an examination, asking for definitions for these virtues. fOne youngster defined kindness In this way : "Kindness is being kind to every human creature from a ant on up."

The size ol the basement provides plenty of space for the heating plant, storage of fuel and for a vegetable and fruit cellar while by the' installation of station ary tubs much of the laundry work can be done here in both summer and winter. Floor plans that accompany the il lustration show how 'conveniently the rooms have been arranged and how large they are for this size of house, The living room, 25 by 13 feet, ex tends across the front. The dining room, also large, 13 by 15 feet. Is con nected with It by a double-door open ing, and adjoining ls a good-sized kitchen, 11 by 11 feet 6 inches. The pantry off the kitchen and adjoining the entry' is another good feature. The sun parlor is 9 feet 6 inches by 11 feet, an exceptionally large room oi this kind. It will be noted that doors open into it from both the living and dining rooms, so that one end thai adjoining the dining room may be used as a breakfast porch. The double opening into the living room gives spa ciousness to this room also. On the second floor there are three good-sized bedrooms, the bathroom and a sleeping porch. The latter Is a comfort-glvlng feature of this design. It is located so that It has privacy, a thing to be desired. The bedrooms are ranged around a central hall, and the bathroom ls adjacent to all the rooms. Studying designs of homes is one ol the greatest pleasures of securing a home.. The American architects have combined in home designs the com- DLD U laJbtD Rl 1 Wfcri3rO'j111:0'iiyo' iLCOiD noon forts that the American family wants, and also vhave combined these com forts and conveniences with exterior beauty. However, what appeals to one prospective builder will not appeal to another, and by securing a large number of designs practically every individual will find just about the sort of home he has visualized as be ing the kind he wants. To. secure home-building ideas a visit to the local architect, the lumber and material dealer, and the contrac- tor who will be asked to bid on the building job will be worth while. These building specialists all have available a wide range of homes, both perspec tive view and floor plans. With these plans before them, prospective build ers will be able to select the home that meets his requirements and can be built for the amount of money he wants to invest. But In going over these plans It will surprise anyone how much real enjoyment he will get. Home building now is popular be cause it is the best and practically the only means of securing a comfortable, convenient and attractive place In which to live. Rentable houses are scarce, and the person who moves now adays ls glad to get any sort of shel ter. That Is where the home builder is better off than the renter. . Grandmothers Vindicated. Our grandmothers used to hang a red flannel petticoat over the window of a smallpox patient's room, assert Ing that it hastened the cure, and also prevented "pitting." Scientists have now discovered that the red rays do actually exert a bad effect on the bac teria of the disease, and a correspond ingly good effect on the patient. Jade Favorite Gem in China. Light green jade is the favorite gem of China, and it is difficult to get the stone in uncut form even In that coun try. Sometimes a Wch Chinaman's es tate will consist In part of a lump of jade. Sometimes it can be obtained in pounds. But even the leading jewel ers of Hongkong usually obtain It In cut form. THE STATE. That which is substantial and true In man's will Is what we call morality and law ; and this is what is divine in the external objects of history. Anti gone in Sophocles says: "The divine commands are not of yesterday or today ; no, they live without end, and no one knows whence and when they came." Moral laws are not accident, but are reason itself. When these moral laws or ethical principles, which compose the true substance of human ity, have authority la the actions and sentiments of men, when they are real ly carried out and maintained, then we have the state. W. F. Hergul. Beauty. Talk as we may of beauty as a thing to be chiseled from marble or wrought out on canvas ; speculate as we may upon Its colors and outlines ; what is it but an Intellectual abstrac tion, after all? The heart feels a ; beauty of another kind ; looking through the outward environment, It discovers a deeper and more reul love liness. Whittler, -Root "FIDDLE-FIT" Keep Liver and Bowels Clean and- Active withCascarets" Sick headache, biliousness, coated tongue, sour, gassy stomach always trace this to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food In the bowels. Poisonous matter clogged in the In testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed Into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it canses conges tion and that dull,, throbbing, sickening headache.
