BEATEN At HIS OWN GAME.
Youthful Auditor Tells Story bigger
Than IuUle nm Does

II was great fun for the boys in the vii.
l7rc where Uncle Eill lived to get him start
cd telling SOME Of his big stories Appar-
entity there were no bounds TO his imagina-
tion and 90 the number Of hi, tales. Most
Of them were connected In some way with
Che Hudson, as he had spent nearly his
whole life on the river
Seated ON a sttIuguiyce Of the wharf one
afternoon with number Of youngsters
around him he began by telling hi. audi.
fuco what a wonderful river the Hudson
WAS
Boys" he said, ~ tell yer that ere is "A
mighty fine river Yer kin 90 most any
where yer mind to on her Nussir. yer kin
go to ther north pole an ter the south pole. b"
The boys winlcd to one another. but did
not venture to make any remarks
How about Captain Broat's sloop, Uncle
Bills' asked one Of his auditors.
"Ah, murmured the old man. "she was a
dandy, She was. Why, I've seen that 'ere
slo'p, loaded with ore till her deck was flush
with thcr water, 90 down through Huver-
straw bay under full sail when ther breeze
was so stiff that the other boats had two
reefs in their mains'ls an their iibs bobbed,
and some Of 'em with their peaks dropped.
We've gone slashin down Havcrstraw bay
with ole Sary's bow under water more'n
half ther time an didn't mind it at all
She was great slo'p, now, If yer wanter
know it.n
How did you like havin the West Point
fellers shoot holes through the mainsail,
Uncle Billf' asked an auditor.
81 didn't like it nohow. 'Tain't no use
tryin ter fool with them fellers, they're tew
everlastn reckalous. One o. them shots
purity near took off my whiskers"
"Myl Uncle Bill that was a narrer es-
cape, remarked an impudeut youngster,
with wink at his grinning companions,
but IL amt narthin to what | had once
when | was fightin lnjuns out west. One
evenin jest about sunset | was going home
to the camp when all of a sudden an Injun
jumps from behind bush, and before |
could do anything he put up his rifle and
fired right at my head. ! saw the bullet
comm an caught it between my teeth and
shook it at him. The Injun gave yell
and run as hard as he could"
There was howl from the other boys,
but Uncle Bill, with look OF deep disgust
at being beaten at his own game, exclaimed
in tones of great disapproval:
"Ah, you shaller pill, you, what do yer
want ter lie TO er poor ole man furt" And
he got up and walked slowly away.

In the forty-ninth registration report Of
Massachusetts Qsg0J the compiler presents
the statistics of 203 persons who We're re-
ported as having died during the 10 years
QsSl-9O) at the age of 100 and over. Ofthis
number 1853, or 75.4 per cent, were females
BY the state census of 1885 the number Of
females living over 50 years of age was
nearly double that of males. The greater
exposure of men to accidents, to weather
agencies, to the constant strain of business
life, to the anxiety of providing for the
family, all tend to shorten the life of men
The deaths by accident among men are
more than threefold greater than among
women, and men commit suicide in about
a threeiold ratio AS compared with women.

THE REVIVAL.
A Splendid Sermon From the Text
BLESSED are the Pure in Heart"
Additions to the Church.

The services last night at the Chris
tian church were attended by an
audience testing the capacity of the
building. Brother Sanders delivered
an able sermon from the text BLESSED
are the Pure in Heart for They Shall
See God" He prefaced his remarks
by an explanation of his position of
base ball and its influence. He said
he had been misunderstood and that
he desired to make a correction. 1t
was not the game nor those engaging
in it that he condemned, but it's evil
effects and tendeD cies. His statement
was very plain, and not susceptible Of
misconstructi0n.
At the close of the sermon two
came forward and offered themselves
for membership.
Brother Claypool announced that
during the two weeks the meeting
has been in progress there have been
thirty-fve additions to the church.
A deep interest is being manifested
and much good will undoubtedly be
the result.
The rite of baptism will be admin
istered tomorrow afternoon.

BASE BALL.

1t was an off day for the Ardmore
Browns yesterday and they failed to
play ball with their usual vigor, but
five hundred cranks with the accus-
toned contingen. of fence climbers,
and bushwhackers yelled themselves
hoarse when in the last half of the
ninth the heme team tied the score
of to and it required ten innings
to decide who was the victor, Gaines
vile or Ardmore. The events of the
game were Munzesheime''s slide to
third in the fourth, Pyatl'k capture of
hard fly and the faultless work of
Ledger behind the bat. Nelse Cole
man pitched a good ball for the en-
tire ten innings which is a remarkaA
BILE hard thing to do. Fuller is q
dead safe man with the willow and
rarely fails to make first. The Gaines
vile team has good timber in it and
the score shows that it was q bit
terIy contested game from start to
finish. The Browns must practice
more and learn to play ball with
their heads as well az their hands
The batteries were: Gainesville-
Moore and Bales. ArdmOre-Ledgel
and Scanlan.
