REFLECTION
Ballade of Old-Time Steedi.
(With some apology to M. Francis Villon who
Is possibly duly rejoiced that he no longer
haunts Montmarte and lta euvlroue.)
Where are the battle steeds of yore.
That champed impatiently whilea ago.
That swam undaunted rivers of gore
While the riders traded blow for blow
Making a feaat for the carrlou crow?
Fsltti we will hear of them no more
Clone Is the day of tbe horse helguo!
The auto now Is tbe steed to book:
Will the world war call up tbeir kind d'ye
think ?
History tells us what they did
Stinlu with her memories yet would drink
To the war-worn nteed tlmt totre the eld.
When dead he rode. In his armor hid.
To dsnnt the Moor now time would wink
And the tires of his limousine might skid
Should a new Buy Diss that trick think.
Of many more we miuht ask the same
But the war steed's time bus come to pass;
Storied now is his euulne fame.
Like Kuropa's bull or the horse of brsss
Of the oue-eved Csleudar. Balaam's aas.
Or wlnt'ed Pegasus poets tuuie.
Fables reflected la history's glsss
The roadster baa Jumped tee war nag's claim!
L'ENVOI.
Where Is Bucephalus. Traveler.
Or tlie Arab that knew Napoleon's sword.
The nillk-wlilte steed uf our cuvnller?
The war-horse uow Is the sturdy Ford!
The fame of uo-hit games lingers long In
memory If It Is achieved benenth tbe glaring
lHtliKut of the big league; bur ita tierpetrator
M'hloiu rctioses uion a bed of rosea thereafter.
The esse In Mlnt Is the youthful Davis of the
Braves who stopped the slugging Phils with-
out s hlugle some weeks hnek. Stallluga haa
sent him back but twice. Boston tieat out the
Canllliuls after the Mound City men had rammed
Davis off the bill. Tyler upplantiug him to
pare tlie day. Anil Wednesday Cincinnati after
a string of 10 consecutive iletcHts. wiaj tmm him.
It is true. iHiwever. tliat the Braves tbemaclvea
could do nothing with the youthful I.ear.
.If a race still exists -In the National league
for the pennant a similar condition must be
applied to the American league. For consider-
ing tlie Wednesday results the Boston Hel Sox
are seiiarated from the Athletics by a smaller
marsln than that which obtrudes between tbe
Braves snd Ulsnts. Wednesday night tbe Red
Sex were but Ave nnd a hit If games back of the
Msckmen. while New York liad fallen back to
six full games.
The crushing blow the St. Louis Cardinals
dealt tlie Wants at the Polo grounds Wednesday
must he accepted as practically conclusively
settling the 1814 iienuant race. When Tesreau
drew a heart-breaking 2 to 1 loss and Marquard
bowed to the crushing avalanche of Ida twelfth
consecutive defeat the defenders of Coogan's
Bluff must have realised that their supremacy
waa over. McOrnw may as well resign his
dreams of a fourth consecutive fiag. The
chance still exists of course. But It Is almost
a mirage. MvOraw'a chances of a world's rec-
ord faded with the failure of his wry-necked
swithpsw. the passing .of Murray's mighty b:it.
and the Inability of Denisree and Fromme to
come through.
Hendrlx. the one time Pirate who was pretty
busy garnering Federal league recruits lat
spring shouldered a Walter Johnson Job along
with his ottlclsl proselyting. llendrix lias
pltcbed In 45 games for the Ohlfods. a number
com led by the Washington Idol In the Ameri-
can league nod by Cheney In the National.
Now that the Boston Braves seem sssnred or
a shsre In tlie coming world's series pot. we
wisilil like no expression of opinion on what
!ene Cochreham of I.ullng and Oscar Dugey of
Palestine will do with their per csplta. Either
one could coene near buying bis native village.
Some people- might sneVr at tbe hatting aver-
age of .1X4 compiled by Dugey as a pinch hit-
ter for tbe Boston Nationals but then Mike
Donltn Is credited with a 179 ftgure. Pinch
bitting does not seem to be profitable In base
hits In 1914.
There was a dull and sullen thud nut at
Greenwich. Coon. tlie other day. It was the
monotonous occurrence of another Champion
passing ou his gust to a Pub who hadn't Ix-en
heard of away from tbe Home Course.
"Idols of Old. we would call you back."
The Kaiser Bismarck: tbe Allies Napoleon and
Wellington: Jerry Travers three 11)13 strokes:
the Olants Joe McGlnuity and Amos ltusle: tbe
white heavies Jem Mace.
You could have gotten a hundred beans against
a plugged nickel last spring if you had ststed
a liellef that t'ovaleskle tlie Pole would finish
higher In American league pitching percentages
than Johnson the Swede.
We take It that there will he no occasion for
the use of tbe cable on the war sitiisthHi lie-
tween October 8 aud Octolier 15 approximately.
Judging by results In the National league to
date crucial aeries will be postponed from Sep-
tember 30 to October 8.

PRAIRIE OIL COMPANY TO
SHUT DOWN OKLAHOMA LINE
No Oil From Oklahoma Wells to Be
Bun Through Pipeline Because of
State's Action in Fixing Price.
(Houston Post Special)
Ml'SKCXvKE Okla.. September 23.
The Prairie Oil and Gas company an-
nounced tonight that It would not run
any more oil from Oklahoma fields j
through Its pipe line. The company has
been handling about 65.000 barrels daily.
The order becomes effective tomorrow !
and will be continued indefinitely oil !
men believe the Prairie's action was
caused by an order of the corporation I
commission issued yesterday prohibiting j
them from purchasing crude oil for less
than 65 cents. An hour before the order '
was issued liy the commission the Prairie
company cut the price to 55 cents. '
Threats of violence and of dynamiting
pipe lines are alleged to have been made
and oil men have already on one occasion
petitioned Governor Cruce to place the oil
fields of tlie State tinder martial law.'
Neither the Gulf company nor the
Texas) company has announced any inten-
tions of following the Prairie's procedure
and it was stated at the offices of the
Gulf company tonight that it Intended to
continue buying.
The State corporation commission will
hold a hearing in Oklahoma City Septem-
ber 28 when the commission's order and
the Prairie's. ndion will be considered.
SHIPPED EXPORT COTTOU.
Temple Claimed to Be Highest Cash
Cotton Markrt in State.
( "sjoh Post Special)
TEMPI. K Texas September L'::. Two
hundred bales of export cotton were
shipped from Temple today one lot of
1000 hales being destined for Havre.
France and the other 100-bale lot going
to Liverpool. The latter was routed via
New Orleans. Wagon receipts continue
to he brisk those today reaching 1'75
hales. Local buyers claim that Temple
Is the highest cash cotton market in the
State at the present time as all pur-
chases are paid for in money w hereas in
many places where higher prices are re
ported the sales represent allowances
made by merchants or bankers on ac-
count and are not based on cash ad-
vances. In several instances here 10
cents has been paid for cotton taken on
account but these transactiona are not
included in the general market.
There was a total attendance Of If 91
upon the Sunday schools of seven loca'
churches on Sunday of the present week
according to figures just compiled In be-
half of the Increased attendance campaign
now being waged In advance of Sunday
School Rally day which has been set for
October 4. The total enrollment of the
seven churches referred to Is 2943. hence
the attendance upon last Sunday's schools
was nearly 60 per cent.
The Temple chamber of commerce has
decided to request the fanners of Bell
county to set aside the last week In
September and the first week in October
as seed selecting time and during that
period the organization will assist al:
farmers In selecting the very highest
quality of seed for the spring planting
Especial attention will be paid to corn
seed as a recent test made during the
sessions of the Bell County Teachers' in-
stitute held here early in the month
showed that 58 per cent of the corn seed
planted in Bell county waa worthless.
