BEFORE THE SEASON OPENS.

Washington Star.
Oh. come. we pray, good base ball man.
And sing the old, sweet song
About the noble nine well have
OF players fleet and strong.
OF catchers who will stop a ball,
Though from a cannon shot;
or batsmen who will hurl the sphere
A mile, as like as not.
OF pitchers who must turn their heads
And try to calm their nerves,
Lest they get cross-eyed as they watch
Their own eccentric curves.
Oh, tell us of the pennant brave,
And how with pride Wen glow
To see 1t wave Ger those who played
So long in goose-egg row.
Speed on this tale of victory
And s|uperhuman skill,
For If we do not heal 1t now,
We know we never Will.

1t Is a hard task to put down the rebellion.
The Spanish soldiers are doing all they can,
but the insurgents are too strong for them.
Besides, the rebels are securing additions

Spain intended to give up the contest and let
Cuba go. 1t would be difficult to find an off,

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Mel
son and Representative Townc are Mt
work trying to arrange plan who're
by Indians on the various reservations
can cut dead and down timber. This
woraksh has been done in the past by
special legislation and orders Of the
department. but the Minnesota men
think that the policy can be established
IN a general law covering all such
cases. Senator Nelson to-day pre-
pared IN amendment which Mr..
Towne' will offer In the house when the
Indian appropriation bill comes up.
The plan proposed authorizes the sec
rotary Of the interior to make regula-
ttons under which the Indians on any
reservation in the country may cut
and remove dead and fallen timber
upon any coded lands in whic,, the
Indians have an interest only in the
proceeds Of the; sale OF the lands. a
provision is also made to guard
against the utilization Of this policy
where timber has been killed for the
sole purpose Of making 1t marketable
under the terms Of the amendment.
