Boats Carried on the Heads of Mon.

The achievement has often been re-
ferred to Of the carrying of steamboats,
on the backs of men. Tue expression
is not quite accurate, for the Congo
natives are trained from infancy to
carry burdens on their heads. When a
European on the lower Congo sent his
black boy to store to buy some Gig
arettes, he was surprised to see the
servant return with the tiny package
on his head. When Congo woman
has smoked her much-loved pipe the
treasure is likely to repose on her head
until she again requires it; and if her
husband, unfortunately, has been able
to procure bottle of rum, he walks
home with it nicely balanced on his
head, throwing stones at the stray dogs
and cats in his way, without the
slightest idea that he is really an ex-
pert equilibrist. Most of the many
thousands of pieces of steamboats, were
carried on the heads and not on the
backs of men.
The $4,000 natives of the lower Congo
who have been carrying these steam
boats and all other freight around the
cataracts are the very men who could
not be induced, eighteen years ago, to
give helping hand to Mr.. Stanley.
He wished to carry 1886 man-loads,
and he had only 100 Zanzibar and Lo-
ango porters. for the work. Some Of
the natives would sell him little of
their time, but they would not carry
his goods more than two Or three miles
beyond their homes. Stanley's failure
to secure the carriers he needed along
the river delayed his work on the up
per Congo for more than year, and
the labor question was the most per-
picking problem with which he had to
deal. He brought his carriers thou

er coasts of Africa.-Harper's Round

Insurance Agent T. E. Burke's Talk With

II would like to write you $1,000,
fifteen year endowment insurance policy.
How old are you?"
II am forty years old. What would
you write me that policy for?"
"It will cost you upon the present basis
exactly $273.80 per year. The face value
of this policy can be withdrawn at the
end of the term, or at any time after SIX
years you can draw out more money
MS you have paid in. The policy is paid
in full in case of death and also allows
one full year to restore in case of lapse"
'But Tom, [ can do better with my
money in my business
"That's right. A man can use most of
his money quite we'll in his business, but
put little of your money in this policy
for positive sure thing for;your family"
"What has been your experienced"
"To tell you the truth my experience
has not been very good. Everything de-
pends with me on what good luck have"
Well, take out policy. Do not trust
to luck
"But, your company might fail?"
eyes, anything might happen, but I
will tell you an undeniable truth. There
has never been purely mutual life in
surance company, under the legal reserve
system that attained any standing that
ever failed"
"My company has now been in bust
ness nearly forty years. Please consider
this in the light Of experience, and re
member that statistics show that about
81 out of every 100 business men fail.
This policy will make you happy in your
old age. You can leave the policy fully
paid for $4,000 at the end of the term
and receive yearly annuity, on the pre-
sent basis amounting to about $275 per
year, as long as you live. Protect your
self in your old age. Protect your loved
ones that are depending on you. Write
your policy with me.

The intercollegiate base ball season
was opened yesterday by the teams of
st. Thomas college defeating the boys
from Hamline university by a score of
8 to in well-fought game. Charlie
Delaney, for st. Thomas, was very eff
receive from the beginning, pitching a
strong game and keeping his head in
an admirable manner Doyle, the ST.
THOMAS catcher, caught fine game
after the first inning
Hamline's pitcher, Drill throws a de-
ceptive ball, but found trouble in To-
eating the plate and gave way to Tuck
er, the sOuthpaw, in the sixth.
The score would have been higher in
favor of st. Thomas were it not for
point they clearly outplayed their op-
ponents, both at bat and in the field
Dyer, for Hamline, played an excel
lent game at center, taking every
chance offered. Griffin, at third, and
Mitchell, at short, played clean, snap
Ply game.
The poor base running can be ex-
cused owing to the fact that the large
crowd of enthusiastic collegians made
it impossible to coach on account of
their horns, etc.
The game started well for the Ham
line boys. The first two men at bat
each made a hit, and by two errors,
Dyer and Geo. Drill. crossed the plate.
Doyle scored for the Saints and the
score was 2 to l. Dyer struck out in
the second inning and Dunn and Mer-
rift were put out at first.
In the last part of the second the
Saints made four runs by McCardy's
act and by a couple of costly errors.
Johnson was the only Hamline boy
who reached first In the third inning.
Doyle made one more run for the
Saints. Both sides failed to score In
the fourth inning.
Griffin and Cameron made two bae-
gers in succession. They were brought
in by Delaney and Doyle, who made a
couple of singles. In the SIXTH seventh
and eighth neither side scored, but in
the forepart of the ninth Dunn, reach
ing first on an error, was brought in
by Merrtt's three-bagger. Dyer scored
on a hit and it looked as if Hamlne
was going to win out in the last inning.
But Delaney smiled and settling down
to business permitted no more runs.

Special to The St Paul Globe.
OMAHA. Neb., April 23.-Until the
eighth inning today the game was very
pretty The Saints had it won even
at that, but at this juncture the home
team went up in the air, and a reg
ular Weyler campaign followed. Three
hits were sandwiched IN among five er-
rors and three bases on balls, and the
result was seven unearned runs.
Cross got away easier than either
Denzer or Phyle from the home team
He was a little wild, but managed to
steady himself at critical times. His
support was gilt-edged, he making the
only error charged against his side.
Glenalvin did the most of the infield
work. Gillen not getting q chance in the
whole nine innings. Daub pitched his
first game of the season, and, although
wild in spots, had good control in the
main. He was not inclined to let him
self out, and was discouraged by the
support he got
The nervousness of the home team
was the only feature Of the game, every
man seeming to be at sea from begin
ming to end. Mckinney made two err
rOrs in succession at third In the eighth
and then Roat and Burnett followed,
the first with one and the other with
two errors.
Hollingsworth came in today and will
go into the game as soon as his hand
will let him. Eustace, who was doing
good work at third, Is sick and may
be out Of the game several days. When
he gets back Mckinney will go to the
bench as utility man.

QUEER BASE BALL DECISION.
How n Tomato Can Won n Game in

Perry Werden ii authority for the most COM

We were playing a jay club out in Da-
kota, says Perry. II was in center garden
for the ST. Louis Reds and the jay club kept
me hustling. They hit the ball hard l tell
you. There was a barb wire fence about the
lot on which We We're playing. Back of me
was an alley, filled with rubbish, including
lot OF old tomato cans. Well, a hot one
went through that fence and the barbs cut
the Dali square in two. l jumped the fence,
got the can with half the ball in it. and
threw 1t, can and all, to the catcher at home
plate, Just In time to nail the runner. big
row followed. The. tDakotas claimed that
touching their man with the can contain
ing the ball, did not constitute an out. The
umpire was puzzled, and the wrangle waxed
warm. Meanwhile, | had found the other half
or the ball stitching to barb, secured it,
walked leisurely in to home plate and put
1t On the enemy That settled it. The UNI
p1re declared him out and we won the game
but we had to form a hollow square and es-
cort that umpire to the outgoing train.
