American apples We're sent In great

a mock play written years before to
ridicule the sentimentality Of certain

ances OF the world are most curious.
What. for instance, in the abstract.
could be more illogical than the fact
that despotic Russia's firmest friends
among the nations are the leading re-
publics of the world-the United States
and France? What seems more un-
reasonable than Germans emperor, a
protesting Protestant OF Christian
country. intriguing to uphold the pow

whose speciality is the massacre Of
Christians? We have Mr.. Gladstone's
own word for the fact that 1t is 80.
Naturally this nation and Great Brit
ain should be the firmest friends Of the
world. but. sugar-coat the subject as
we may with mutual compliments and
professions of regard, there still re-
mains on both sides that spirit OF REM
iniscence and protest which speaks out
when the relations become too close.
Uncle Sam has periodically sworn eter-
nal friendship with the South Ameri-
can republics and has taken them un-
der his protecting wing and yet the
friendships are very elusive. They
lack substance. 1t may be the differ
ence in race and temperament; any
how. 1t Is quite certain that these re-
publics do not love Uncle Sam until
they begin to get into trouble. They
trade with Europe and initiate Europe.
Possibly 1t might be good idea for
them and Uncle Sam to swear new
oath of friendship on business basis.

The Hall Game.

The ball game between the Monte

Sunday, after three failures to get to-
gether. The visitors arrived Saturday
afternoon and proceeded to make
themselves at home. They came with
eight players, expecting to secure E..
Mace, at Matlock, but were disappoint-
ed and rather weak on battery.
The play was rather lacking in spir-
it, and the score ran up larger
than it should. although the game
was interesting at times, and several
good plays were made during the
game. This is the second game the
home club has won this season, and it
looks as though the luck had changed.

played last year, and the home club
expects to visit Moutesano during the
