Modesty In Baseball.

Charlie Irwin is credited with being
one of the few players in the baseball
business who had to be coaxed to accept
a professional engagement. AS a gen
eral thing young players do all in their
power to attract attention in order to
secure offers to play professionally, but
Irwin was actually surprised when he
received first offer and promptly re-
fused it. When a mere boy he used to
hold the professional players in rever-
ence and entertained no idea that he
would ever play himself for a living.
He received the first offer when playing
with a city league team in Chicago
when but II years old. Burlington at
that time wanted him, but he would not
listen to their proposals or to several
others he received during the next two
years. Finally, at the age of 81, he ac-
cepted an offer from Seattle and he has
been playing professional ball ever since.

Secondhand Wheels.

"It is amusing to talk with some
riders who wish to exchange bicycles, =
said a dealer to a New York Com
mercial Advertiser representative after
possible purchaser had gone. "Many
of them think they are doing us favor
in giving a secondhand wheel and pay
ing an additional sum to secure one of
our make. Then, again, they are
shocked to find the small value which
we place on secondhand bicycles. Espe-
cially is this the case with the man
who just went out. Three years ago he
bought a well known make Of bicycle,
paying 500 for it. Now he wants to
secure one of our $50 machines and
thinks he should be allowed at least $40
for his old wheel. When / told him
that $50 was the best could do, he de-
clared he would prefer to throw it in
the river to accepting such a sum. And
yet that is all | could obtain for it,
Secondhand wheels are not in demand
as they were few years ago, partly
because of the large number of bicycles
which are on the market at present and
partly because new machines of fairly
good quality can be bought for almost
the same sum as a secondhand wheel of
high grade. We do not allow anything
on wheels in exchange for chainless
models -

To1stoi at Work

Count Tolstoi is Ike one of the great
painters of old After forming the plan
of his work and gathering great num-
Der of his studies he begins with char
coal sketch, so to speak, and writes
rapidly, not thinking of details, says
The Arena When he writes in this
way he gives it to Countess Sophia An
dreevna to copy out, or to one of the
daughters, or to one Of his intimate
friends to whom this task may give
pleasure.
Lyof Nicolaievitch, Count Tolstoi,
generally writes on quarto paper, of
rather poor quality, in a big, ropelike
handwriting, writing about 20 pages a
day, amounting to some 1000 or 1000
words. He has no special habits with
regard to pens and paper, and when a
firm in Moscow conceived the idea of
giving the world 'Tolstoian pen" it
was discovered that on the subject of
pens Count Tolstoi had no opinion.

SOME DISCREPANCIES.
Low Values Pay proportionately
More Taxes than High Values.

People who have occasion to COM
pare valuations of real estate, based
on the 1898 assessment, and on
which taxes are now due, are GER
tain to be astounded by some of the
figures shown on the assessors and
county treasurer S books. Ofcourse,
it is difficult to get everything cor
rect, and as for getting things as
they should be, that is an irrides-
cent dream. But there are tracts OF
improved land in this city, which, if
compared in actual value, and then
in assessed value, some one would
have right to claim that the as
SCISSORS books had been sjockeyed'
from the time they were turned over
to the assessor by the county
auditor, until they were finally
passed up by the board of equaliza-
ton. Nor is this city the only
place for complaint. The trouble is
quite general, and a disinterested
person sizing up these comparisons,
is at loss to know why the figures
are so wide of the mark. One resi-

commission judicial powers, it is
safe to say that he would have put
his name to the measure. He de-
ceived himself in thinking that the
people would give this no further
thought and would let it 90 by
default. Since it became generally
known that the Governor vetoed the
bill after the adjournment of the
legislature, a cry of disapproval has
been heard all over the State, while
nobody has had the temerity to
attempt any proof that the Gov
ernor was right. Whatever may
have been his purpose he was play
ing directly into the hands of the
railroads, an act of injustice to the
farmers and other shippers of Min
neSota.

given to school districts. School
districts should, however, get their
orders ready to send in Immediately
after Aug. 1st. A library in a
school is an important equipment
and always greatly aids pupils and
teachers.
1.-The Compulsory School Attend
ance Law" has been SO changed
that all children between the ages
8 and Is must attend school all the
time that school is in session in said
districts. A truant officer is to be
appointed, with a salary, to enforce
said attendance Pupils attending
private schools or receiving home
instruction are subject to examina
ton the same as though enrolled in
the public schools. The usual pro-
visions relating to bodily health,
poverty of parents or guardian, use
full and profitable employment of
pupils, are provided. A fine of $50
for non compliance will be imposed.
District No. 46, Walton school,
ought to- feel proud of it's school

what is more important, it has
system of ventilation and heating
that ought to be in every school
room in the county. A daily record,
beginning with Dec. Nth, '98, and
continuing so days, shows but one
day that the school room temperature
was uncomfortable. Mr.. Jansen,
the teacher, has taught an excellent
school from many points of view
and it is unfortunate for No. 49, that
he is to teach elsewhere.

Continuing, the editor

Minnesota Continuing, the editor
says in part
"a fair opportunity to test the
sentiment of the people of Mime
sofa and South Dakota in respect to
the policy of the administration in
discharging the duties which Dew
ey's splendid achievements in Ma
Mia harbor forced upon it would
certainly give to Gov. Lee and Gov.
Lind conception of American
patriotism very different from that
which they seem to have. It is
doubtless perfectly safe to say that
our volunteers will gladly remain in
the Philippines so long as there is
any fighting to do, and that for
every one called home thousand
brave boys are ready and willing to
take their places if the necessities
of the government require their
services. -
The Princeton Union calls atten-
ton to the fact that when the legis-
lature adjourned it left about 100
bills for the Governor to sign or
veto, according as his Judgment
dictated. Under these circum-
stances the Governor becomes the
whole legislature, since it rests en-
tirely with him to say whether or
not an act passed by the legislature
becomes a law, there being no op-
portunity to pass a bill over his
veto.
Had Governor Lind imagined how
the people of Minnesota would call
him to account for vetoing the bill
giving the Railroad and Warehouse
