A budding Kansas poet, who sign
her name "Jessie," has the following il
the Solomon City Sentinel:
The frosty nights have come again,
And at this time of year,
The single men who sleep alone
France round upon their ear"
They turn the bedding quickly back,
And then hastily tumble in.
Dreaming Of delightful bliss,
Their knees up under their chin.
And then they softly murmur
Just loud enough to hear,
"By Georsel this thing has got tc
cease.
Before another year."

The laugh is on the county commission
ers. Monday, after thoy had finished up all
the business, and the office was half filed
with assessors, lawyers and other American
citizens, all talking and joking, and most Of
them firing idle questions at the beard, one
of the members moved to adjourn. The
clerk put the question, and tive Of the COM
missioners voted "sye" Then the third
member, who had been examining an old

bills.

| Did you ever consider what the appar-

| course it is not the young mans intention te
make practice of gambling when he starts
out in some of the apparently harmless
games, such as pitching pennies, spinning

lose much at any rate, no matter how his

and the bets are doubled and then thrilled,

greater speed, perhaps. Soon the young
man finds his thoughts continually lingering
upon those innocent games, and will neg
lest his business er slight his work to par,
ticipate in them. Such games surround the
card table, and are the first steps toward the
poker game and the whiskey bottle, and in

run the risk and should consider well and

Lynching is not quite a national in,
stitution. Twenty.six States were free
from it last year. All but nine of the
l3l lynchipgs of 1896 occurred in the
South. Louisiana led with rs, Alabama

Mississippi 5 and Missouri 5. The aver.
age annual number of lynchings in the
United States during the last twelve
years was l67, and the aggregate was
zoos. Though Louisiana had the most
lynchings, the leading papers Of the
State declore that this form of punish
ment neither prevents nor diminishe
crime. 1t is a matter of local custom
and indulgence of mob passions, and is
clearly not an agency by which justice
and civilization can be strengthened

TWO GAMES FOR CLIO

Another of the contests that have
marked games in the Jersey City League
was rolled last night on the Woods
Hall alleys, betwsen the crack Doolittle
and Van Bergen team, and the result
was another remarkably strong battle ali
the way. More exciting times have not
been witnessed on the alleys his season.
The alleys were damned with people, and
for a time pandemoniarn reigned. The
clubs were out In force and the teams
each had strong following. The Doolit-
ties We're at home, and while they would
have been looked upon as a sure winner
against any other team there was a
doubt with the Van Bergens, the major
ity of whom have graduated from the
alleys, n the Doolittles allowed a large
amount of money Il get away from
them. The bowling was Of a high order
on the part of the home team. They
rolled a splendid average and twice beat
the 500 mark. Cheering was contin-
uous. The important part Of the match
that the games settled the holders
of second and third places. The Vans
were in the lead previous to last nights
struggle, but the Doolittles bowled their
way to the top and won the coveted
place. The Van Bergens were confident
OF winning one garhe at least, and al
though they were badly beaten III hi
first the team made a gallant effort In
the second. and it was only by a remark
able rally on the last two frames that
the Doolittles forged ahead and won. 1t
was one Of their famous windups and
the cleverness of the. team sent their rec
ord to within a few pins of the best to-
tails of the year. The Vans were Off in
the opening game and never had a
chance, the opposing side winning by
nearly 200 pins. For the home team Joe
Perlmutter n Barnes battered the pins
for a double century mark. Gray and
Ennis were In the 10 block for Van Ber-
gen. In the second game was where the
real nghting was done. The visitors
bowlee to the first amid the cheers of
their rooters and were in the lead for two
frames. They were behind on the third
but regained their position in the fourth.
For every successive frame until the
ninth the Vans showed the way. but ON
the lest VI the Doolittles filed in with
triples which sent their stock booming
above par, and they completed their
double victory with their best score of
the season. Joe Perlmutter rolled 214 for
the home team and Casey PIG for the
visitors. TIL defeat places the Van Ber-
gems even up with the glintons for third.
