The great sensation in local baseball cir

home. During the day word was received
from Cleveland stating that Messrs. 0'Neil
and Hanlon denied there was any trouble
and that they were on the best of terms. Yes

correct and the public can therefore, judge as to

The directors of the local club held meeting yes

the ways and means of trying to get the team into

Various plans were suggested and il may be that a
great change was to some extent agreed on. At

schooner set up a violent rocking, huge
black bulk suddenly doomed up alongside,
there was a sound of escaping steam, and
half the deck was set with a cloud of i'll
smelling spray
1t was an awful big whale for fnhack.
/ was longer than the Lady Mine. which
measures eighty-three feet.
When he came up he touched the
schooner, but did it very gently. not With
jar or bump, but with a slow upheaval
that simply showed the vessel off sideways
and careened her over a little until her
round bottom slid off the monsters back.
The whale appeared highly delighted,
and repeated the performance. For two
hours he was never 200 yards from the
Lady Mine, and half the time when he
was above water the crew could have
touched him by simply extending their
hands over the side. A dozen times he
rubbed against her side, but always with
the same gentIeness that characterized
his first contact, and often his huge fin
protruded above the rail as big as a boat
sail.
He was an old bull, and his back and
head were literally covered with barnacies.
1t was to rid himself of these that he rub
bed up against the boat the crew soon
learned. Several times it looked very
scary to see the terrible bulk rising swiftly
from the depths of the clear water, but he
was considerate enough to always slacken
speed Just before striking, so that the
contact amounted to no more than gentle
push
The crew did not mind the whale using
the Lady Mine for a backscratcher as long
as he continued good natured about it,
but they did protest against the odor, and
finally made an attempt to drive him away
The boatkeeper prodded him with sharp
pointed sprinkler boom just as he rose
near the schooners stern.
Down he went like flash. and IN his
furry he branched directly across the lit
tie yawl's painter, which was hanging
slack foot or so beneath the surface of
the water. One of his fukes caught the
line, and as the several tons of blubber
and wnalemeat went down the yawl- boat
went, too. The bow plunged under with
a terrific dash, and the oars and lose bot
tom boards Of the boat flew for yards in
all directions.
The entire boat was lost to sight for
over minute, when it popped up like
cork, full of water, but right and tight
and perfectly urinjured. The crew used
garnished language, bailed the water out,
gathered ny the gear that strewed the sur
rounding ocean and hauled the rescued
craft aboard
The whale manifested no anger what
ever, but returned in few minutes as If
nothing had happened. He rubbed off
couple or three more barnacles as gently as
before, flirting his monstrous tail con-
temptuously and took his departure.

THE HORSE.
The Training of the Horse and His Use in
Ancient Times.

harper magazine.
The east was the original home of
horsemen, and war the early training of
the horse. Though he appears first as
beast of burden, and though riding pre-
coded driving, there is evidence to show
that chariots in great numbers were used
in war before cavalry became common.
The use of the horse was all but limited to
war. Bullocks were the usual means of
transportation, and were no doubt then,
DIS now, in the Orient, steady and rapid
travellers. The higher the warrior above
the common soldiers, the more terrible his
aspect, and the deadlier his aim with lance
and arrow. Hence the steed's early ap-
pearance in battle To debase him to the
purposes of pleasure was never dreamed
of.
We find the very best of cavalry in anc-
lent times. The Greeks ran against SER
ious problem in the Persian light horse
when they first trod the soil of Asia Minor
They were nothing like so good horsemen
as the Asiatics under Alexander's compan-
ion cavalry showed them what drill could
do; and the Roman was still less apt.
Phillip of Macedon first utilized the excel
lent material OF the Thessalian plains,
and organized a cavalry which, from its
maneuvers and lighting, must have con-
sisted of admirable horsemen. The anc-
tents rode without saddles or stirrups, on a
blanket or pad or bare back; and in 81 tie
of this fact, or perhaps by reason of it,
rode extremely well. 1t is wonderful what
feats of military horsemanship the bare
back rider could perform in the age of
what we might call gymnastic equestrian
ism. Nothing but the knowledge of our
old-time Indian enables US to credit the
historical accounts of his agility and
skill
When, centuries later, saddles came in
to use, there grew up Two schools Of riding
that of the mailed warrior, whose iron
armor well climed in with his ''tongs on
a WALL seat in his peaked saddle; and
that of the Oriental, whose nose and knees
all but touch. Why the eastern rider
clings to his extremely short feathers 1t is
hard to say, unless it be to place him the
higher above his horse, and therefore
make him the more imposing when he
stands up in his stirrups to brandish
scimilar or matchbox. Yet he is won
derful rider this same Oriental; as, in.
deed, is every man who from youth u is
the companion Cf the horse.

soon remembered enough Spanish. In
which language her mistress was very
proficient, to tell all she could recoIlect of

3 years old when taken from home, heI

Enough was learned to in!icate the

such a desperate fight. She never gave US

She was given the freedom Of the post,
and would wander restlessly about, cycling
the men and with startled and often
time wonderfully intent glance. She
would go to the bank of the Colorado and
sit for hours gazing toward the north as
if pining for her lost freedom, but making
no effort to regain it
To the north of Fort Yuma the hill
grows more imposing until the grand
canyon of the Colorado is reached, and the
regions Of eternal snow are encountered.
The fort is situated on the banks of the
Colorado, almost at the mouth of the ella.
The banks are sufficiently high on the
west to prevent any overflow, while away
to the south they sink into the valley that
opens into the gulf of California. At a
short distance above the fort these banks
are some fifty feet above the water,
which boils In constant eddIeS below,
flowing with d rapidity unknown in the
rivers of the east. Navigation is almost
impossible, as the fall is some eight thous-
and feet in four hundred miles. The
mountains to the north are broken and IT.

advent Of the strange combination of
wildness and beauty, Cochita was missed
from the fort, ana with others, was de-
tailed to find and bring her back. AS |
had seen her frequently near the river,
became possessed of the idea that we
would find her enscoDced in isome of the
small caverns in the rocks at its edge. |

a sharp lookout for the girl, out at first

air. CHANGING in the direction whence
the sound came was Mortified to see the
object Of my search standing on the outer
surface Of crag which overhung the
river. Her long hair was streaming in
the wind, her face turned toward the north
and with her arms extended at full length
she was grooming wild song, which oc-
casionally broke into an awful cry of
agony and regret Fearing to alarm her
| sat motionless on my horse waiting for
the end to come. Suddenly she threw her
arms in the air and with the most appall-
ing shrek | ever heard, sprang from the
rock and was dashed to pieces in the
rapids below, her body disappearing in
the angry. waters as they swept remorse-
lessly to the ocean. No trace of the
singular creature was ever found, and but
little was known Of her people, who were
supposed to be living in Mexico.

Cause of Deafness

Medical authorities now say that sleep
ing with the mouth open is a frequent
cause of deafness. When this subject of
opening the mouth is more thorough
~ understood, it will be seen that
it responsible for the larger share Of hu-
man ills. 1t might have been thought that
an open mouth at night would be less harm
full than at any other time, but even then
ii is not innoxious. Keeping the mouth
open too much destroyes the teeth, and by

CAPTAIN CASTLES WHALE.
The Thrilling Tale Told by Him on til
San Francisco Exchange

The Thrilling Tale Told by Him on the
San Francisco Exchange.
An interesting story is told In San
Francisco Examiner of the adventure had
by the piolet-boat Lady Mine On re-
cent Friday evening the boat, Captain
Steve Castle, was lying becalmed about
ten miles northwest of the main Faral-
lones. Not a ship was IN sight and the
captain improved the opportunity to shift
the schooner's canvas for her lighter sum-
mer suit. All hands were engaged on the
work, and to secure more deck room the
yellow boat used for boarding vessels was
neaved over the side and made fast astern
by six or eight fathoms of painter.
The sea was full of whales, iolling about
on the CLASSY surface, playing and blowing
and emitting an unpleasant oily odor, as
whales are won't to do when the sun is
shining, the air is still and the water
smooth. One particularly big fellow Of
the fneback variety, commonly called the
California greys, manifested much inter
est in the Lady Mine, and came along
side to investigate The first notice of his
approach was received from a tremendous
fl1ck of small sea-birds that SKINNED
along the surface, flying down to snatch
their food of parasites every time the
whale came to the surface.
All the birds flew away when the big
fsn sounded a cables length from the
Lady Mine, and the screw thought he had
taken his departure. In this they were
erroneous, for in about two minutes the

THE CENTER OF POPULATION.

One of the arguments for holding the
world s fair in st. Louis was that that city
is very near the center Of population in the
but the exact center has now been deter
mined to reside Decatur county, Indiana.
twenty miles east of Columbus, and at that
spot monument has just been erected,
fifteen feet high, of polished gray lime
stone, In which are cut the following
words: Center of population of the
United States" This center of population
travels westward at the rate of four miles
and a half per annum, and the following
table shows its line of travel
In 1900, eighteen miles west of Balti-
more; in e 80 forty-fve miles northwest
10y west of Washington; in 1920, six cen
miles north of Woodstock, Va; in 1880,
nineteen miles west by southwest of Moore
field, W. Va; la 1910, sixteen miles south
of Clarksburg, W. Va; in 1850, twenty
three miles southeast of Petersburg, W.
Va; in 1860, twenty miles south of Chilli
cothe, O.; in 1870, fortyeight miles east
by north of Cincinnati, o.; in 1880. eight
miles west by south of Cincinnati, o.; in
1890, twenty miles east of Columbus, Ind
The monument just dedicated is not the
first of its kind. In 1910 similar monu-
ment was erected few miles northwest of
Washington, D. c., inscribed as follows:
Center of population. 1t is a far cry
from Washington, D. c.; to Columbus,
Ind, but the change of inscription. from
'center" in 1910 to center" in 1890 is
the strikins, the deplorable, the ominous
incident in those eighty years Of not I'M

WOMAN'S LOVE AND MANS LOVE.
ROSE TERRY COOKE.

How does a woman love2 Once--no more
Though life forever its loss deplore;
Deep in sorrow or deep in sin,
One king reigneth her heart within.
One alone, by night and day,
Moves her spirit to curse or pray.
One voice only can call her soul
Back from the grasp of deaths control
Though love beset her, or friends deride,
Yea when she smIleth another's bride,
Still for her master her life makes moan,
Once is forever, aid once alone.
How does man love! Once for all,
The sweetest voices of life may call,
Sorrow daunt him, or death dismay,
joys red roses bedeck his way;
Fortune smile, jest, froWn,
The cruel thumb of the world turn down.
Loss betray him. or love delight,
Through storm or sunshine, by day night,
Wandering, toiling, asleep, awake,
Though souls may madden or weak hearts break,
Better than wife, or child, or pelf,
Once and forever he loves-hImseIf.
