We saw the streams OF molten metal from those
great smelters fall into the basins to be cooled

the West, entertained us in magnificent STYLE The
greatest treat was plunge in the natatorium the
largest in the world, being 100x300 feet lovely

and art can do for such place. We went back
to the city, climbed Mount Helena, then to the

great wicked mining town. Climbed Butte Noun

Her First Caller.

Some years ago Amelia Simpson, maiden lady
of mature years, moved into New England vii
lage to take possession of small property that
had been left her by deceased uncle.
Miss Simpson was city spinster, and it hap
pened that while moving into her new home she
made some derisve remarks about the village,
which reached the ears of the villagers.
Itwas before the days of boycottng, but the
spirit of that method existed, and so unanimous
were the feelings excited against the newcomer
that not a soul in the village called upon her.
The lady herself was unconscious that she had
offended and made several advances in the direc-
ton of forming an acquaintance with her neigh
bors, but was met with cool non-recognition every
time.
Then she withdrew herself from any commun-
cation with the people, bought all supplies at a
neighborng town, and lived alone with female
servant for score of years. At the end of that
time she was taken ILL., A doctor was summoned
from distance by her faithful attendant, and he
soon knew that all remedies were useless, and it
only remained for him to tell poor Miss Simpson
that her earthly pilgrimage was nearly over This
he did in his own way. He was doctor of the
old school, and he approached the subject cour-
teousy.

WATER POLO.
The Swimmers Of the Columbia Athletic
Club Indulge I'm New Game.

The Swimmers Of the Columbia Athletic
Club Indulge I'm a New Game.
The curiosity of the frequenters of the Co
lumbia Athletic Club house has been aroused of
late by the talk among some of the members
about the game Of "water polo" which is occa-
sionally played in the swimming pool. and the
new pastime is becoming quite popular. II is
now the intention of those interested in water
polo to have practice games every other Satur-
day and perhaps to play match games with
teams from other cities. The rules under
which the game will be played at the Column
bia Athletic Club house provide that the ball
shall be a No. 8 association foot ball. not Less
than eight nor more than nine inches in diam
eter. The goals are marked by boards or
towels at either end of the swimming pool.
four feet apart and eighteen inches above the
water. To make goal the ball must be
touched or thrown between the goal marks.
and not more than thirty nor less than
eighteen inches above the water. There are
six players on side, constituting a team,
with one substitute, who may replace a disqual-
flied player. The game shall consist of two
halves, of five minutes duration each, with five
minutes intermission. The game is started by
the referee throwing the ball into the center of
the pool and blowing whistle at the same time,
and then the scramble between teams begins.
When a goal is made the teams go to their
ends and the referee again throws the ball
into the center of the pool.
The game is very exciting. calling for good.
strong swimming and plenty of endurance and
wind. The maneuvers are similar i'm many re-
spects to those of foot ball. and while one
player has the ball and endeavors 10 carry il
down to the opposite goal his opponents en-
deavor to get it away from him. This gives
the members of his own team a chance to in
terfere for him. while those on the other side
duck him under the water and hold him until
he is forced to let go of the ball. There will be
a game at o'clock this evening.
