Ball Hits Catcher Over
Hoart: He Dies on Field
Windsor, Ontario—Clare Pal-
plash, twenty-three, catcher for
the Mnplegrove aniuteur base-
ball team, was killed at Com-
ber, Ontario, when a ball thrown
by a pitcher during the warm-
ing-up period struck him over
the heart.
In the Woman's clinic in Washington a cure for hay fever has been
perfected. It involves the placing of pollen of plants likely to cause hay
fever on tiny scratch marks on the fore arm of the patient. The pollen
ci.uses a slight swelling around the scratch and the treatment is then di-
rected against that specific pollen. The photograph shows a patient being
given the pollen treatment.

marry a Sioux City (la.) girl, and to
wed auother girl whom he had met
but once. This was at Deer Lodge,
Mont., a year ago.
The District court here, at William-
son's request, has annulled the Mon-
tana marriage, leaving him free to
to keep his former pledge. The Sioux
City romnnce was incubated after Wil-
liamson's return from the war. Both
he and the girl are Catholics, and as
Williamson had contracted an unfor-
tunate marriage in his early youth and
had been legally freed, it was neces-
sary to wait for a dispensation from
Rome before the ceremony could be
performed.
Officer in Montana.
Meanwhile Williamson went to Mon-
tana, where he was made an under-
sheriff at Deer Lodge. While there
he kept up a constant correspondence
with his fiancee, and all of his spare
time was put in builldng a house for
their joint occupancy when all the ob-
stacles had been cleared away. Wil-
liamson developed into au expert in
running down bootleggers, and in one
of the raids was compelled, in self-
defense, to kill a negro.
Brooding over this brought a recur-
rence of his old army trouble, the re-
sult of shell shock. Apparently the
attnck came upon him suddenly. He
had but mailed a letter to his sweet-
heart, in which he outlined the plans
he had made for their early reunion,
when memory left him. He met on
the street a girl to whom he had been
introduced but a short time before,
and proposed marriage. She accepted
him, and he hurried her to a justice of
the peace. His aberration was again
manifested when, just as the justice
was about to sign the certificate, he
reached over and tore it up. Then he
turned his back on the girl, marched
out of the room, and promptly forgot
all about her. He never lived with
her.
Details Given.
These details were necessarily fur-
nished by friends of standing in Deer
Lodge, to whom the girl he had
wedded and promptly scorned turned
for aid and explanation. The affair
ended his usefulness as an officer in
> Montana, and he came to Lincoln and
i entered the State university as a stu
dent in mechanical engineering. He
I is doing this as a federal government
1 vocational pupil, and is part of his
I reward for the distinctive service that
! he performed in the war, but which
! left him open to attacks such as the
| one that caused a sensation In Mon-
tana.
I Officials from Deer Lodge corrob-
orated Williamson's story in every de-
tail. They said that he was a quiet
and gentlemanly chap, and not at all
Inclined to the sensationalism that
marked his marriage there. The In
structors at the State university gave
testimony of his brilliance as a stu
dent. The court thereupon annulled
the Montana marriage.
The dispensation from Rome had
meanwhile reached Williamson, and
now that all legal and religious ob
stacles are removed, he Is going over
to Sioux City as soon as his Intended
fixes the date and marry her.

A NATIONAL TRAIT
"At any rate, the high cost of liv-
ing is no problem In the South Sea
Islands."
"It would be, if sever 1 thousand
average Americans were suddenly
transported to those islands and
forced to live there."
'What do you mean?"
'It wouldn't be six months before
somebody would corner the coconut
market."
Started Early.
"You say Meddling is a born re-
former?"
"Just that."
"What do you mean by a born re-
former?"
"I have it on the authority of his
grandmother that when he was five
years old, he started a campaign In
his neighborhood to abolish Mother
Goose."
Careful Calculation.
"I understand you have been offered
a large salary to go into motion pic-
tures."
"1 have," replied Senator Sorghum.
"But I'm not going. I like to keep up
with my surroundings and large as
the offer seems to be it wouldn't be
enough to enable me to keep the mo-
tion picture social pace."
What Is Bad Luck?
"Oh, T just bust a lookin' glass. I'm
going to have seven years' had luck."
"I don't believe that, 'cause a friend
of mine bust one an' she never had
no seven years' bad luck. It was only
three days later she was killed in an
explosion—so I wouldn't worry about
It."—Life.
The Noes Have It.
Ilis addresses having been declined
by a young lady, he paid court to her
sister.
"IIow much you resemble your sis-
ter," said he, the evening of his first
call. "You have the same hair, the
same forehead, and the same eyes—"
"And the same noes'." added the girl
quickly.—London Telegraph.

More Ermine Trapped in Far North
Last Winter Than for Many Years-
Cessation of Importation from
Siberia Sends Price Up.
Seattle. Wash.—Of interest to mi-
lady's fashion creed and of potential
concern to father's wallet is the ar-
rival here from Ruby, Alaska, of Hugh
Sobel, trapper and trader, with a pack
of 2,300 ermine skins, one of the
scarcest of all the Northern fur-bear-
ing animals.
This past winter more ermine were
trapped in the Far North than for
many years. They appear to fluctuate
in numbers periodically. Sobel arrived
at a time when fur dealers were look-
ing for the ermine skins for summer
trade and will realise a nice profit
from his collection, parts of which he
trapped and most of whUh he traded
for from Indiaus.
Ermine is one of the few furs that
is never absolutely out of fashion.
With the exception of the Russian
sable and one or two others, there Is
no fur that seems better able to main-
tain its value than this. Its price, al-
ways high, has been driven to new
levels on account of the cessation of
importations from Scandinavian lands
and Siberia.
It inhabits only the snowy regions
of the Far North, where its white
coat, blending with the surroundings,
gives It a ready means of escaping
from its enemies. In the summer the
fur is light brown, but at the advent
of fall it begins to turn white, with
the exception of the tip of tho tall.
The metamorphosis of the ermine
from dull brown to purest white Is
among the great wonders of nature.
The fame of the ermine as a crea-
ture "patronized by royalty" dates
back to King Edward III, but this re-
striction has loug been removed.
Owing to the variation in the qual-
ity of fur found on different animals
of the species, ermine Is far harder
to 'match" than any other skin.
Conservative.
"These European papers are not so
enterprising as ours."
"You're right. I doubt If anybody
got out an extra when America was
discovered."
