Polo Notes

The Boston Herald of Dec. "a, craci,s
the best joke of the season: "Furbush
made two goals for Lewiston on
Wednesday,, playing against Portland
Bravo, Furby"' as
Portland Argus Fred Mitchell, the
wail-known local polo player, has gone
to Connecticut to play with the Wal
lingford team. Mr.. Mitchell COM
menced the present season with the
Portland Jrs., and after Smith and
Doherty left Gardiner he went to the
latter city. Manager Houlehan could
not assure him of a permanent place
on his team so when he received an
offer from Wallingford he decided to
accept it.
Rockland Star: Rockland met defeat
at the hands of the Gardiner poloists.
last evening, in game that was funny
to see and not very scientific. Allen,
the new second rush, started in to play,
but received a cut on the head that
obliged him to retire in favor Of Cen
dreau. The Rockland boys worked hard
to win, but this was not to be. The
ball rolled for Gardiner and it was next
to impossible to get it by Murphy, who
put up an excellent game for the visit

time to get new man to fill his place
if the pennant is to be won. The other
members Of the team put up stiff
game and did all that could be asked
Of them. Tobin made his first appear
ance in this city and the only way to
appreciate his playing is to see him.
He was the sport of the crowd and if
he had not been quite so small he
would have been in danger of his life
As it was. he started in to play dirty
game, but before he had gone great
way he met trouble and McGown was
the man he ran up against. Murphy
played well at first rush and McGown
was all right at second rush while
Maynard and Gendreau filled their po-
sitions in good shape. Hadley gave a
fine exhibition at center and Murphy
put up an excellent game in goal Our
old friend Elliott Gay was in the game
for Gardiner and showed that he can
play just as well as he ever could.
Lewis Jason played first rush for Gar
diner and considering the fact that he
has not played a whole game before,
this season he did well. But to think
that Gardiner defeated lis with such
weak and crippled team is enough to
give a man the blues, although luck
did run their way.

uOH CAN THEY DO TT?

Two years ago the County commits sioners were looking about for a Pros- ecuting Agent They finally offered the place to MT. Dewell. He had not ask ed for it. He did not even know that he had been considered. The offer was as great a surprise to him as it was to all the outsiders who supposed that they knew what was going on.
 After due deliberation MT. Dewell ac- cepted the offer he had so unexpected ly received. He has worked hard and faithfully. Nobody charges that he has been inefficient, and everybody ad- mits that he has done his duty with fairness and courage.
 Now the County commissioners are asked to summarily remove the Prose cutting Agent who accepted office at their request and who has, by his con- duct while in office, shown that they made a good choice. Can they justly and honorably do it? Should they do 1t to help punish a young man who has, by his courage and honesty, incurred the enmity of a gang of small politi- clans? How can the commissioners ex- pect to find public favor If they do such a wrong?

4 EyYTy THE OIyTH ENT.

All is not gold that glitters even in Alaska. There is much glittering snow and ice there, and it behooves those who are suffering from the Klondyke fever to go slow. Joseph Ladue, a pioneer just back from the inhospitable territory, declares that it would be fol- ly for any man to set out for the new gold fields unprovided with supplies for the winter To transport the necessa- ries for one man to the Klondike would cost at least $500; the route involves a river trip of 1000 miles on the Yukon, or 600 miles overland from Juneau, and as the cold weather sets In about the mid dIe of September, those who start now will have to do their prospecting in the snow and in the sharp distress of an urges all would-be gold hunters to wait until spring and start then. Little or nothing is to be gained by going now. and it is certain that for hundreds of those who enter the territory at this time of year there will be untold pri- vation and suffering. Other experts who have travelled over the Juneau route declare that 1t is a shame to in- duce eastern people to go over that route to the Klondyke mines at this season. When the snow is off the ground no one can carry more than seventy-flve pounds, and it is utterly impossible to carry food enough to maintain a man for more than two or three months.
 So it will be wise to wait until next spring. And by that time perhaps it will appear wise to wait until some other spring.

 Over the raging sea, From South and West from every side Wherever they chance to be- I see them, wild in their gloatlng By the terrible greed controlled, Tramping, marching starving, parching, Off in the search for gold "Klondyke! Klondyke!" they're crying, "klondyke, bright as the sun Where the eyes are dazzled by aotden glint, And rivers with nuggets run What care we for privations
 When we know in a little while Well all go home to the hearts TO love With gold in monstrous pilen' see them, armed with their shovels. Their picks and their camp sunnlies; 1 hear them, panting and grooming,
 But the lust still bright In their eyes They drop, one after the other,
 Worn out by the fearful race, But wherever one falls there's another To jump in his envied place. But I've still another picture
 A little, a quiet man, He carries no pick or shovel,
 He carries no washing pan. It isn't claim he's stalking,
 For him there's no golden war. But he's building little shanty,
 And he'll open it as store. And the miners will dig and shovel And they'll goat o'er the wealth they find, They'll long Tor place 10 spend 1t,
 And they'll go to the first they find. He'll sell them his so-ealled whlskey
 He'll show them the roulette wheel. And the faro bank and the poker deck To his customers he'll reveal. And soon those monstrous piles of theirs Will dwndle as the snow. The hard-dug gold will chan9e it's place And to new quarters go And when his game has brought him
 And to the senate go. He'll return to civilization
 And to the senate go

4 CHEERING GRANGE.

There has been a most cheering change in the talk about the western farmer. Up to three months ago mo- body thought of thinking or talking about him except as a miserable being with one foot in Starvation alley and the other in the poorhouse. But now it appears that while everybody has been bemoaning his hard lot he has been saving money. It is now figured that during the last three years he has paid about SfS0,00o0 900 of his indebted ness, and this year is going to be bet ter year for him than any recent year. Reports from Kansas, Nebraska, Min nesota and the Dakotas are very en- couraging Farmers in Illinois and the middle west are making money and paying off their mortgages. That is the testimony of Chicago men who loan millions of dollars on western farms. From reliable reports that are based on figures and not on political sentiment 1t is very evident that the farmer is making more money than the men en- gagged in mercantile and manufacturing pursuits. One Chicago firm reports that sixty per cent. of the mortgages placed by his firm are paid off when due. while another declares that his company has not forecIosed on a farm in Illinois, although it has loaned SS,- 900, ,000 on farms in that State. The conditions in Iowa and Wisconsin are almost as favorable.
 The Chicago Tmes-Herald, which has been collecting facts concerning the condition of affairs in the West, says: The significant fact about this showing is that it cannot be made by any other mer in the corn belt is doing better to- day than ever before in the history of the country. A great many things have contributed to the prosperity of the farmer in the middle west. He has been getting good prices for cattle and hogs and has reaped the benefit of closer and better markets. Improved methods in farming, such as scientific drainage and treatment of the soil, have | also contributed to the enlargement of the farmers crops. While the manu- | facturer has been waiting in anxious suspense for a restoration of favorable conditions before putting money into a product the market for which is un-

 Elastic lacings are to be recommend ed for summer corsets. There is a new corset made with a heavy piece of elas tic web set in between the back bones and the corsets themselves, which fas- tens with the usual lace, but the elas- tic fibre, which is so tough that it hard- ly yields to the hand, gives as may be necessary to movements of the body. The objection to such a, corset is that the elastic pieces may lose their spring mess before the corset does, but no one wears corset for a very long time these days and the makers declare that the elastic part will serve as Loyalty as the corset itself.
 If you attempt the elastic lacings 1t is difficult to get them stiff enough. Just the least little give" is enough, and nothing is more uncomfortable than a corset that does not hold one up. A notion in another make of cor set Is celluloid eyelets for the lace to pass through. The metal ones will cut and fray the string. One summer cor set is made after the openwork pattern, with elastic web generously perforated used wherever 1t will do the most good. instead of the usual openwork weave Such a corset is a dream of yielding and staying comfort, but naturally does not wear well. Neither does the ordi- nary summer corset, for that matter.
