the Colbys to get a hustle on. Colby
has not this season run against team
that teased into such good ball. The
small crowd of spectators that was
present at the game took very kindly
to the visitors and well they might. for
as the game progressed the visiting
team began to show their claws in a
threatening manner. 1t was plainly
evident that the bears had not been
living entirely on their paws during the
winter. but that they were out for food
and intended to get it if it took their
every hide.
The baby bear. not to call him a cub,
that occupied the left garden for the
Hebrons. made a bad break in the
first sally, when Patterson hit jim
dandy that the young bear did not have
to move more than 10 feet for. He
dropped and then hid his nose in his
paws in disgrace. but la me, didn't he
take sweet revenge on himself though?
He is a tender youth and is hardly tit
to be away from his ma, but Nhe got
into the game with all fours. He
lammed the ball four times. and it was
not his fault that he did not score
more runs than~he did. 1t was just
elegant to see him steal bases and nit
singles just at the time when they
would do no good. His name is Bur
rowes and he is all right from his
shoes up.
Shaw, the pitcher for the visitors,
threw good ball and with the excep-
tion of two innings. when luck in Colby
placing their hits was against him, he
pitched winning ball. The score:

to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. It
would seem that it would be more terrible
to see some loved one wasting away, daily
becoming weaker-daily slipping toward a

coming. Consumption causes more deaths
than heart disease more than cholera =
more than yellow fever more than any

And yet people are careless about it. A man

Hiastheaded, and the vessel capsized. It
was afterward discovered that the sheayes,
through which sheets and running gear
had been rove. were 80 tightly plugged
with wedges that 1t was impossible for the
gear to render. 1t was asserted that no
human agency could have done this, and
the work was attributed to supernatural
and evil powers
Shortly after the fatal occurrence gen.

OF every Spanish war vessel to be sent aloft
to chase evil spirits out OF the sheave holes
every evening at sundown. From that
day, as the story goes, it has been the Gus
