A tent is said to be as good as a.house,

In the dark season twilight lasts six
hours and almost any kind of work can
be done.
Just below rapids ice forms only nine
feet thick, and there fishing is done.
In other places it will reach 40 feet.

HOW MIKE KELLY CUT THIRD.
First Worked His Famous Trick of
Running Across the Diamond.

First Worked His Famous Trick of
Running Across the Diamond.
In a recent ball game at the polo
grounds visiting player scored from
second base by not going within yard
of third. This trick was originated by
the late Mike Kelly when he was MEM
Der of the famous Chicago champions.
The first time he tried it successfully
was in Boston about ~ years ago.
There were 10000 persons present, and
when the last half of the ninth inning
began the score was tied. Kelly, who
was the first man at the bat, turned to
the crowded grand stand, before taxi
ing his place, and shouted:
open the gates and go homel It's
all overt" Kel was guyed numerically,
but he merely laughed and cracked out
a safe hit. AS he crossed first base he
fell, and rolled on the ground in appar-
ent agony.
"It's me ankle!" cried the king, and
the Chicago players took off his shoe.
After Is minutes delay Kelly got up
and seemed to be very lame. The Bos-
ton battery, believing that he could not
run, paid little attention to him, until
suddenly he dashed for second like
real Splinter and slid around Burdock
in safety.
Never touched mel" yelled Kelly,
and then all eyes were turned to Capt.
Arson. The latter finally pushed
l. Jar or1T nl,y, Ill tho
first baseman. and Eugene Van Court,
the umpire. ran down the base line to
see whether Morrill, got to the bag
ahead of Arson. He believed Kelly
would go only as far as third, so he did
not look at Mike.
The moment the ball was hit by An
son. Kel ran as far as the shortstop.
then turned boldly into the infield and
cut across at least five yards from third.
He reached the base line before the UNI
pire turned to see what he WIS doing,
and fairly flew across the plate in long
slide with the winning run.
'He didn't touch third" screamed
thousands.
'He cut the bag by five yards!" roared
Sam Wise, the Boston shortstop. But
the umpire was helpless, as he hadn't
seen the trick, and so was compelled to
allow the run. The big crowd, at first
enraged at the trick, leaped down upon
the field in a threatening manner. But
Kel soon won everybody over by shout
ing:
''It's all over! The games won! You
can't get it back! Open the gatesl"
Then there was great cheer for the
trickiest ball player who ever walked
/ the diamond This trick was original
with Kelly and many players have tried
It since.-N. Y. Sun.

WOmanhOOu by Being So.
When one judges truly what it is to
be "old-fashioned" in some of the mod
ern progressive" ideas, it does not APP
pear so bad. 1t may be true that one
who refuses to be so essentially mod
ern" in all phases of life misses some
things. But then these progressive"
spirits seem to miss some things, too:
they seem to miss in about everything
they do, and incidentally miss, as well,
the true aim and essence of life. And
there are often strong compensationsi in
the attitude of the "old-fashioned." 1t
brings fewer after-regrets; fewer pic
lures one wants to blot out. An indif-
ference to healthy progress is injuri-
Gus to anyone. But when progress
seeks to improve upon those elements
In life which are God-ordained, the wis
est of us are those who stand still or
fall out of the ranks. There are some
things in this world which even the
wonderful genius of this century can
not improve upon. They were fash

then it adds, "but not too fast" The
cautious woman, the home-loving wom-

with belief In God, who gave them to
her, the woman of pure heart and good
purpose, the woman who loves and is
beloved, need never be disturbed that
she is called "old-fashioned." Perhaps
she is. But it Is no disgrace to be sold
