PETTEE MEETS
SHAWNEE HERE
Ml SUNDAY
The Pettee club of the Inter-City
league which plays at Shawnee Sun-
day is now considered as one of the
teams Shawnee will have to consider
in the fight for the pennant. Last
season Pettee had the tail end club
but things are going to be different
this season according to Manager
Aufricht. So far Pettee has de-
feated El Reno and Halverson. The
team's main strength lies in Flood,
Armstrong, George Armstrong and
Winninghum of the last year's Hal-
verson club and Aldridge, the crack
pitcher for Mp^« & Co., in the
Commercial league last season. The
Shawnee club profited so much by
practicing every evening last week
that they will do the same thing
this week provided the weather will
permit.
GLASS OF SALTS IF
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Launching
FEW people know the wide range
and systematic organization of
the United States life-saving
service in its work of saving
lives along shore. Superintend-
ent Sumner I. Kimball has been its
father and friend, has made it his re-
Jiglon for 40 years. And he has so far
(succeeded as to have placed upon
!10,000 miles of oar coast nearly 300
(life-saving stations, fitted up with the
(most modern rescuing apparatus, and
(taken care of by 2,000 men, under
aemi-milltary discipline. Twenty-five
thousand vessels have been given aid
in this time and property valued at
$240,000,000 saved, with far less loss
of life than in the single case of the
Titanic, which was sunk in mi doc can.
Crews ordinarily number eight or
nine, with the keeper of the station in-
cluded. Though under civil service,
reading and writing are about all that
Is required, educationally; physical
endurance and experience of the life
along shore properly being the main
requirement. Day watch is from sun-
rise to sunset, and the night patrol is
divided Into four watches.
Strict system, constant drilling, sim-
ple food and simple living make men
upon whom it is a pleasure to look.
Only fishermen born and bred to the
loneliness of the life can stand It, how-
ever, and along the Pacific, where sta-
tions are far apart, they are mostly
Norwegians and Swedes, of those old
Viking races whose hardihood and
primal manner of living have never
died In the blood of their sons.
Not Always Peaceful.
That It has but 19 life-saving sta-
tions, to the Atlantic's 185, is evident
of the fact that the Pacific coast is
not generally considered more danger-
ous than it was when Balboa, gating
first upon the clear blue world of its
•waters, named It the Sea of Peace.
The wreck of the Roeecrans, about a
year ago, stands out, in conseqence,
as though the ocean mocked the mem-
ory of its discovery as a pacific body.
The Rosecraas started from Mont-
erey, Cal., a 2,97*-ton ship, bound for
Portland, Ore., with 19,000 barrels of
crude oil. On the third night out the
steamer drew near the mouth of the
Columbia river. A southerly gale
sprang up, and there was a heavy fall-
ing sea. It began to rain, and the
lighthouse beacons could scarcely be
seen.
The Columbia river lightship did its
best to warn the men of their danger.
It never had burned more brightly;
tout the somber rain shut it out, and
the ship, unaware, kept nearing the
Peacock 'split, one of the terrors of the
Pacific coast. The river light, wrap-
ped in rain, stood like a dumb Cy-
clops, whose single eye was of no
avail.
Suddenly the Rosecrans grounded
In the breakers.
Flashes "8. O. 8."
The crew sprang to the deck as one
man, an there flashed up the coast
the dread "S. O. S." Three times the
cry was repeated. Then darted
through tho captain's mind the fear of
fire from flying sparks of the wireless.
Fire, with 19,000 barrels of oil on
board! Better to perish in the jaws
of the ocean. . . . But the Astoria,
Ore., operator hpd got the call and he
flashed back now the mercy of a prom-
ise of help. The Rosecrans dared re-
plying: "The water is now in the cal>
ins. We can't stay—" but the mes-
sage was never finished.
The wireless operator at Astoria had
sent out a general distress call. There
was no response from ship or station.
He begged the Puget Sound Tugboat
company at Astoria to notify by some
EAT LESS MEAT IF YOU FEEL
JIACKACHY OR HAVE BLAD-

Meat forms uric acid, which ex-
cites and overworks the kidneys in
their efforts to filter it from the sys-
tem. Regular eaters of meat must
flush the kidneys occasionally. You
must relieve them like you relieve

the storm the surfmen, of course,
could not hear a shout from the break-
ers of Peacock split
It was nine o'clock, nearly four
hours after the stranding of the
steamer, that the surfman keeping the
watch from Cape Disappointment
lookout tower telephoned his chief at
the main station, a quarter of a mile
away, that there was a ship in the
breakers ofT McKenzie head
A furious gale had risen. The crew,
rounding the cape, had to fight both
storm and rising tide, so they turned
back toward a cut-off on a near-by
island. Here, too, the tide met them.
Then the keeper spied a tug being
towed over the bar and asked to be
taken to the wreck. There was a
sharp refusal. So the crew renewed
Its efforts singly. It was man and
man's humanity that gave them
strength to struggle to reach the
wreck. It was useless. The crew
grew exhausted. And it was more fight-
ing to get back to the station to wait
for low tide. Noon had come when
they arrived, disheartened only as
"ien who spend their lives in the busi-
ness of saving other men's lives can
be when they fall.
Keeper Wlcklund at Point Adams,
after receiving the word early in the
morning, had commanded all his men
to get ready for sea. With the tug
Tatoosh a thorough search over the
bar was made, but the vessel was hid-
den from their view and not the trace
of a mast could be keen.
Upon their return Port Stevens tele
phoned that the Rosecrans had ground-
ed on Peacock spit. Keeper Wick
lund left for Cape Disappointment
station, where he tried again to reach
the ship whose three survivors could
now be seen banging to the rigging,
but found it impossible.
Captain Rimer met him as he pulled
in shore. Desperate now and deter-
mined to save those three men cling-
ing to the mast that swayed like a
willow in the wind, the two chiefs
manned their boats and started back,
the gale tearing like a fury.
The Cape Disappointment
Tenacious reached the wreck first,
but got herself Into trouble by it, and
it was the Point Adams crew that slg

bined w!th llthia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimu-
late sluggish kidneys and stop blad-

sive, harmless, and makes a delight-

which millions of men and women
take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

John 20:1-9.
The first day of the week cometh
Mary Magdalene, when it was yet
dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth
the stone taken away from the sep-
ulchre.
Then she runneth and cometh to
Simon Peter, and to the other dis-
ciple. whom Jesus loved, and saith
unto them, "They have taken away
the Lord out of the sepulchre and
we know not where they have laid
him."
Peter therefore went forth, and
that other disciple, and came to the
sepulchre.
So they ran both together; and
the other disciple did outrun Peter,
and came first to the sepulchre.
And he stooping down and looking
in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet
went he not in.
Then cometh Simon Peter following
him and went into the sepulchre,
and seeth the linen clothes lie.
And the napkin that was about his
head, not lying with the linen clothes,
but wrapped together in a place by
itself.
Then went in also that other dis-
ciple which came first to the sep-
^°at ulchre, and he saw, and believed.
For as yet they knew not the
scripture, that He must rise again

Jerry was the new night operator at
Jamestown, back in old Kentucky, in
the early days of the Cincinnati South-
ern. Jerry was unmistakably new. The
manner in which he counted over the
carbon sheets in his train-order pads,
to be sure that he had a sufficient
supply of three, five and seven copy
pads on hand to meet the demands of
a sudden call from the dispatcher, to
whom the word "fix" was an abomina-
tion, and the nicety with which he ad-
Justed his relays from time to time,
indicated his newness plainly. If there
had been any doubt about it, his puz-
zled expression as he scanned the
switchboard, his surreptitious trials of
the ground-plug in each strip to ascer-
tain which side was north and which
south, and his frequent trips to the
station platform to inspect his train-
order signal, would have proclaimed it
Jerry was new clear down to his
shoes, which squeaked suggestively as
he moved about the office attending to
his duties.
He had recently been promoted to
the position of ticket seller and night
operator at this old blue grass town,
from Sadieville, the water tank station
12 miles north, where his duties had
been confined to the routine of report-
ing passing trains, an occasional train
order, and sweeping out the office in
the morning.
Jerry was on the rise. He felt it,
and thirsted for greater things. His
chief ambition was to rise in the serv-
ice. How to obtain the coveted ad-
vancement had become an all-abeorb-
ing question with him, and the subject
of his nightly meditations.
Once, when Jerry had reverted to
the matter in conversation with Con,
the roadmaster, the latter said: "There
ore different ways of getting promoted,
just the same as there are different
ways of skinning a cat. Probably the
quickest way is to keep your wits
about you, and when an emergency
comes along grab hold of it and handle
it."
Jerry eagerly drank in these words
of wisdom as they fell from the lips of
the road master. This was a new
phase of the question that had never
presented itself to him before. He
pondered long and deeply over it. Yes
—this was undoubtedly the solution,
the secret of success, the key to pro-
motion, the one thing needful to bring
him favorable official recognition.
With the enthusiasm of youth, he
resolved that if ever an emergency
came hie way, he would be right there
to meet it. As a natural sequence, as
a means to an end, Jerry began to long
for the emergency. The longing In-
tensified itself until the very Inner-
most recesses of Jerry 's soul cried out
for an emergency.
It was on the night of the memor
able Charleston earthquake. No. 18,
north-bound freight, had pulled noisily
down the long siding, and settled for a
drowsy wait for No. 6, south-bound
passenger, with the engine standing
just opposite the telegraph office win-
dow. The silence was broken only by
the occasional chug-chug of the air
pump.
Jerry was beguiling the time by
alternately practising the letter P on
a closed key and listening to passing
J messages going over the through wire.
He had just succeeded in rounding
out a P to his entire satisfaction,
when he was startled by hearing Meri
dlan, Miss., break in on the through
wire with, "Earthquake here," signing
his office call. A moment later anothei
office, north of Meridian, broke in with
the same information. Then another
and another, still nearer, signing their
calls in turn.
"Great Scott!" exclaimed Jerry.
"An earthquake's coming this way,
and they are spreading the alarm."
As he sat tense and alert in his
chair, waiting for and yet dreading
further confirmation of his fears, a low
rumbling sound struck hie ear. The
window panes began to vibrate and
the Bashes to rattle.
Jerry sprang to his feet with
blanched face and shaking limbs, sick-
ening fear gripping at his heart. There
flashed across his excited brain a
vision of toppling bufldlngs, and his
first impulse was to fly to the open
air.
But with that flash there came an
other mental picture of swaying
bridges, falling trestles, upheaved
track and twisted steel.
He must stick to his post and give
the alarm. For a moment, a feeling
of elation, almost Joy, struggled with
his |^ar, as he realized that at last an
emergency had come.
He grasped the key with trembling
Angers, called up division headquar-
ters, clicked off the fateful words,
Earthquake here," signing his office
call, and then, wild terror grasping
him again and winging his feet, he fled
panic-stricken from the room.
As he Emerged from the depot build-
ing he electrified the engine crew by
screaming at the top of his voice:
"Earthquake! Earthquake's coming!"
Not until the astonished fireman,
standing ln the gangway, inquired so-
licitously, "WThat's hurtih' ye, sonny?"
did he realize that what he had taken
for the premonitory rumbling of a dis-
astrous seismic disturbance had been
produced by that sooty Individual turn-
ing on the "blower" of that big freight
engine.
