This Was the Bntd-Hexded Mans Oplp-

The man sitting next to him
noticed that the bald-headed person
with the red necktie was getting
decidedly nervous, says the Chicago
Tribune,
Presently, in tho middle of u
magnificent quintette, the bald
headed man turned round and said:

But the other man had moved away
to where he could hear the music
without interruption. The bald

asked.

washed down by copious draughts of
mate, made from the favorite yerba.

He found no difficulty in getting
leave of absence for few days. He
recalled the overheard gossip, sensi-
lively, us he went about his prepara-
tions. Lieutenant Palmer had gone
on leave of absence to visit his aged
father in New Hampshire. Lyons,
always on intimate visiting terms at
Mrs. Palmer's apartments, went there
more than ever, during Palmer's ab-
scncc. Flossic was much attached to
him. She was rather weakly, and
was the object of her mothers tender
est solicitude. Every day, Lyons was
to be seen, in the handsomest turnout
he afforded himself, with Mrs. Palmer
and Flossie, out for an airing. OF
course. comment was to be expected,
at the fort. but Lyons was quite un-
prepared for the malicious remarks
that met his ear accidentally. He
knew he was no favoritc, that the
officers called him foppish, because he
had the means to indulge tastes and
fancies that they were forced to sup
press, and that he was considered n
fiirt among the ladies, but all this was
trifiing, compared with hearing his
name linked with that of his friends
wife, in dishonorable fashion.
He decided to slip away without
goodbye, without even sending u
note. Too many notes had passed the
last few weeks. He knew now that
every movement was watched, that
prying servants had become suspicious
and the consciousness of his own SEN
timents, which must be carefully re-
pressed, made him more keenly sensi-
tive. He would write n frank, open
letter from New York, and offer his
excuses.
But his conscientiously laid scheme
was to be frustrated. He took his
seat in the car, at the last moment.

OUR FUTURE.
Prof. Clark N. You'g Delivers An
interesting Address
Upon Affairs Pertaining to . Repressn-
tative Government.

+ Tuesday evening Prof. Clark NJ.
Young OF the state university, who is
in the city as instructor Of the county
teachers institute, delivered a very
able address in the NJ. e. church upon
the subject OF Democracy and the
future" AS can be imagined, the
subject dealt with our WI nation and
its future.
The line OF the speakers address
was divided into two distinct parts.
The first section Of the lecture took
up the organization OF the government
and legislation created by congress.
In the past ten years, the speaker
stated, only 10 per cent Of the bills be.
fore congress became laws-a very
small percentage-and OF that 10 per
cent 70 per cent could be classed as
private legislation for individuals.
The other 80 per cent we're for the
benefit Of the country at large. "The
signs indicate" said Mr.. Young, shat
an important modification of demo-
cracy will be necessary for tn. future.
The indifference Of statesmen to the
need OF the modification Is the i'm
pending danger"
Taking up the formation OF political
parties, the lecturer indicated by his
torical reference how parties were alb
sO!utely necessary to the success of a
representative form Of government,
but under our government party strife
and ~partisanship has sunk, to "A great
extent, the true aim of legislation.
Congress was not close enough to the
people. The breech between the gov
ernment as it is and the people must
be brought closer together. How to
bring out this result was the question.
The lecturer believed that the refren-
dom would do it,, or responsible
ministry, which il it's self is but a
form of the referendum. England has
a responsible ministry and once Il vote
o. no-contidence is taken by parlia-
ment on a measure another election
is the result.
The speaker then took up necessary
state cooperation dwelling at some
length upon this phase Of democracy.

THAT. AWFUL GAME.
The Printers Score a Victory Over
the Sons Of Blackstone.

Tire Printers Score a Victory Over
the Sons Of Blackstone.
A big crowd was out on last Friday
afternoon to witness the contest on
the diamond between the printers
and lawyers. AS previously advertised,
the lawyers YER ingloriously swiped.
Linch and Keller made q strong bat
terry. Clyde did some fine work. Old
nan Knapp developed the fact that
he was not only a hard hitter, but a
king bird, for he lined them out every
time and then spread his wings and
gracefully scared from bag to bag.
Otto Derr famed out just as regularly
us the average democrat wv
don't care il I do" when asked to
take something, and would undoubt-
e'lly have thrown the game had not
NJ. b., on the lawyers side, Offset his
PLAYING by doing "the same" Knapp,
Jr., played strong and did much
toward winning the game. Some
prophesied that Bailey would break
down early in the game, but his last
playing was his best.
Wallace and Ames, rs the battery
for the lawyers, were winners with the
proper backing. Jameson, on first,
took hot balls with a regularity that
was refreshing. Ericsson worked like
n trojan, but met with an accident.
He leaned over too far or too soon, and
was taken home on a stretcher. 1t
was noticed that he wore a different
coiored pair Of pants the next day.
Harriet developed into a professional
at once and put out eight men on sec.
Ond. Kent started away too strong
and went lame on the first run. Later
Nichols came in from the country and
took his place. Nichols got hung up
in the wire fence soon after and al
lowed three men to run in from bases.
Then someone was heard to remark
that they wished he had stayed in the
country. Kirk, as short stop. got so
excited that he couldn't hold the ball
at all, and then he wanted to shake
hands with everybody from the coun-
try. Finally he lit a cigar, and then
he was all right. Gilmore took hot
balls on third like an old veteran. jim
Miller worked hard. In backing up,
however, he fell over kelly's sand
pile and bit his tongue. He says it
won't prevent him talking during the
campaign.
The game was the occasion OF u
vast amount Of sport, and we hope the
lawyers will try it again. The score
was 81 to 40,

In response to general order No. g.,

then spent in the manual OF arms and
tactic drilling, especial attention being
given to guard mounting, forming
skirmish lines and skirmish firing.
On conclusion OF the exercises the
major addressed the boys In a few we'll
chosen words, compltmenting them on
their promptness, good behavior and
