The Skies Frightening.

The silver cause is growing every
day. Let the people not be deceived by
the tone Of the city press. Very few of
our great dailies are in a position to
speak out. But the word which comes
to this Office from all quarters is cheer
ing in the extreme.
Pennsylvania, New York, Massachu-
sets and some other states way down
east are sending in reports of organiza-
lions and a general awakening Of a
proper interest in the great question Of
the day. East Pepperell, Mass. comes
to the front with an ablebodied organ
ization composed Of her best citizens,
and the music may be expected to begin
in that vicinity about this time. Ma

Where Both Had . Pun.

There are conductors and conductors,
you know. The one who came through
our train may have had a bilious head
ache, for he was grim and taciturn and
snatched at the tickets as if they were
redhot. There were about 20 of us in
the smoker. and in the center of the car,
occupying a seat alone, was an oIdish
and quiet looking man. He began
searching for his ticket. but it was not
to be found.
"Ticket. sir! 7 grufay exclaimed the
conductor as he reached the man.
II had one, but I seem to have lost
it," was the reply.
"Where to?"
"Denison."
Ticket or fare!"
live lost the ticket"
"Then payv'
"Give me five minutes to look over
my clothes. l had that ticket as sure's
you're born"
Not a minute, sir! Will you payr"
"No!'
"Then you'll get Off"
"WhereY"
Right here and now!"
Up went the conductors hand to the
bellrope. and as it reached it out came
a gun from the quiet mans hip pocket,
and as he leveled it he said:
"You pull that cord and I'll pull
triggerp
The conductor held to the cord for a
few seconds and then dropped his hand.
IF You bring in a crowd, let 'em
bring their guns along" observed the
passenger. eff you come back alone in
about ten minutes. I think we kin fix
things up"
A quarter Of an hour later the con-
ductor sauntered in alone. The old man
had found the ticket in his pistol pocket,
and as he handed it out he said:
That's what you want, ! reckon.
Scuse me If I hurt your feelin's, but
I've made two or three one handed men
In my time, and it was hard for them
to make a living afterward."

Altogether Different.

IT don't know how I'm going to
make out" said the agricultural states
man who had been retired. 1--WE got to
depend on the old farm for a living now,
and I'm blessed if I feel any certainty
about making it pay"
"But you used to make your constitu-
ents very proud of you by showing off
what you knew about farming" said
his wife encouragingly.
II know it, Maria. But don't forget
this: Farming for votes and farming
for crops are two mighty different
things. "-Washingtop Star.

while the four disappeared, came to
my side.
Il made the best use of the kiss"
said Fraulein Martha. "A hand kiss
means nothing, but l am trying to
make something good out of it. l am
encouraging Herr Fenchel in his
conceited idea that he foresees and
understands everything, and l am
getting Roschen a husband whom
she loves. Is that a bad stroke of
business?"
But that kiss was my property"
l said.

swered. 1T was a simple act of po-
likeness. ! accepted it as such, and
you meant it as nothing more. Do

very wild. and SO he called me Lit

longer a child, but l often have fits
OF wildness, when l can carry an in

ther ceased to call me Little Stupid
and he ~ used the name again.
He was terribly strict, and as he saw
n OF my boy friends kiss my hand
he called him to account for it so
roughly that the boy avoided the
house ever after. AS he was no hero
OF romance / was left alone and re-
main alone. Now I've had my re-
venge on fate, for through a hand
kiss two young folks have been made
happy. Wasn't that a noble re-

"You T an angel, Fraulein Mar

on a railway platform.
"When a girl is hung on to an an

la%ughingly. my father meant AN

he didn't make love to me-"
AT this point the quartet reap

1t wasn't tho sort of thing to do on

Athletic Club Notes.

The new amusement committee of the
Columbia Athletic Club has prepared a
very attractive program for the stag
smoker to be given tonight in the club
gymnasium This smoker is for the pleasure
of the members and admission upon this
occasion, is limited 10 them only.
Two games of league basketball will be
played tonigh in he Infantry Armory. The
first. beginning at Z O'Clock. will he
between the Eastern Athletic Club ana
Washington Light Infantry, and will be
the last league game this season for the
latter team. The second game will begin
Immediately upon the conclusion OF the
first and will be played by the Washington
Athletic Club and Corcoran Cadets. The
two games will undoubtedly draw out Il
large crowd.
The fifth assignment of bowlers in the
c. A. G. tournament will play set of ten
pin games tonight.

TO one side when some OF the other players
would bring up the subject Of fire-escapes
in Bits presence.
The Brooklyns will start on their Southern
trip OH March ] i, going TO Charlotte, y. c.,
and remaining there until April 3. They
viii play an exhibition game with Balti-
more on April and will probably play
couple of games with the University OF
North Carolina team. There will be three
or four games week between the regulars
and the second nine. The regular team
outside of the batteries Will probably be
made up as follows: La Chance, 1b; Daily
or Bonner. 2b; Corcoran, S.; Shindle,
3b; Mccarthy, rf.; Griffin, cf.; Anderson
or Jones, If. Whether DAILY or Bonner or
Anderson or Jones makes the regular team
depends on which proves the better bail
PLAYER. If Jones shows himself TO be n
better man than Anderson it is probable
that he will play right field ana Mccarthy
will go to the left garden. 1t will depend
somewhat on McCarlhy's inclination in the
matter.

hockey players in Canada. Though quite
young he is considered to be one OF the best
alI-round stick handlers and players 10
Canada He is the greatest litter and has
frequently lifted the puck a distance Of
over ESQ feet.
Dave Brown is about the strongest for
ward player. He is speedy and can bring
the puck along the ice in good style. A
few years ago he was one Of the foremost
distance skaters Of Canada. He has given
up distance skating and has gone in for
hockey altogether.
OTHER CRACK PLAYERS.
Desse Brown is the lightweight of the
Shamrock team. He is very cool and u
wonderful stick handler. He skates faster
than any player on the team and at present
holds the skating championship OF the
province of Quebec at all distances, from
100 yards to two miles.
or the Montreal teams players. Collins,
the goal keeper, is known all over Canada
as the best man playing in that position.
He has played goals for Montreal for five
years, and his almost impossible stopping
is feature OF every game he takes part in.
W. Murphy who plays point, is an ali-round
athlete. His weight and Judgment stand
him in good stead in his position. He is
probably the best player on the Montreal
lacrosse team. and played on the champion
Montreal Rugby Football team.
George James is a first-class defense
player. He stops splend.dly and clears
rapidly.
w Barlow is the most brilliant forward
player on either team. While he is rather
light, he is very speedy. and is also good
scorer. His nerve and judgment make up
for his deficiency OF weight and he has for
years been considered one OF the best, if
not the best, forwards in Canada.
Nussen Is another very speedy and ef-
fective forward player. His great en-
durance VIII stand him in good stead on the
United States rinks, which are larger gen
orally than the Canadian Kinks. The Nc
Kerrow brothers have been finds OF the
90 hockey season. They are twins and
play splendid game together.
The two teams are about the best in
Canada The Montreals for years have
held the Dominion championship, ard the
Shamrocks. though a young team, have
done very well during their short existence.

Joyce got the worst OF il once" said
Jack Thornton, who Will play first base
this season for Ted Sullivan's Texas
Steers"
Il heard the story down at Dallas when
] was playing there last year.
1T will be remembered that Joyce
started his professional career in the Texas
League, going TO the Lone Star State di-
rect from Kerry Patch, St Louis. Kerry
Patch is an Irish province of the State OF
Missouri, and is famous for its annual out
put Of goats and ban players of the best
quality.
Another Kerry Patcher TO make his
debut in Texas that season was Red Ehret,
the pitcher, now with ST. Louis Every
body knows why Ehret is called Red
"Ehret is younger than joyce, and as
Bill was just as much of a 'kidder' in those
DAYS as he is now, Red, because OF his
good nature and his flaming hair, and
picked beef complexion, was a tempta-
ton that Bill couldn't resist.
Whenever their respective clubs played
together Red had 10 stand regular hazing,
and IL was Joyce's greatest delight to get
out on the coaching lines and quietly talk
across to Red III the box and tell him that
all the ladies in the grand stand were
laughing at his hair ard Guying his com
pleXion.
Under this sort OF fire, Ehret, who was
always sore on himself because of his color,
would get redder than a boiled beet.
RED GOT HIS INNING.
But Red had his inning at last. The
clubs were at Dallas over Sunday and were
anartered at hotel that was undergoing
repairs. Joyce and Ehret got a room tor
geiher on the third floor, and on waking
up Sunday morning they had that dis
agreeable dark brown taste in their mouths
as the result of drinking soda, pop and other
things the night before.
Dallas was a dry town on Sundays in
those days, and great secrecy and diplo-
macy were required 10 secure a drink.
Joyce and Ehret cut the cards TO see
who should pay for the whisky and go
after il. Joyce lost Is the handest Sa-
loon was the one down stairs in the hotel,
and as IL had door leading out TO a
blind alley, Joyce said he would pull on
his pants and slip down the fire-escape TO
the back door. As stated, the hotel was
undergoing repairs, and from the second
story down the fire-escape had been torn
away, leaving a distance of thirty feet TO
the ground.
Joyce had not noticed this, nor had he
read the card posted in the room warning
gainst the use OF the escape.
"Ehret had observed both, and. as bad
as he wanted the drink, here was chance
10 settle a long score with Joyce. SO he
sawed wood.
Joyce started down, and so engrossed
was he in watching the placing Of his feet
on the rungs that he didn't notice Ehret
