The Real Thing.

Lovers of the national game witness ed a contest last Sunday which de- serves to go down in history, and which as an event will evershadow the flood or the coming of Bryan. A nine composed Of Good Templars and total abstinence men pitted themselves against a kid nine from the public school and the kids made the Good Templars look like thirty cents by a score of 26 to 13.
 Joe Smarr behipd the bat, like the wall of China, was impossible, and the curves of Bob Anderson were simply Brobdignaglan. Johnnie Balsz held down first base and caught every ball sometimes. Mel Greenleaf, that best of all Good Templars, did the best he could at second base, but every bloomin' ball seemed to have spring attachments, and while he could catch them he couldn't hold lem.
 Tom Bell, the soda water man was arrayed in a baseball suit, and while we do not wish to fatter him, 1t IS but just to say that he was verltable Adonis playing shortstop, and every ball that bumped up against Tom stopped immediately. Some brilliant plays were made from the shortstop's station.
 Ed Lewis at third base was the only professional in the bunch, and some of those amateurs who went to Tue son recently turned green with envy at some of Eds brilliant plays, l. e., backing up second base. "Beau" Weber played a star game in right field but weakened in the third in hing and sent for bottle-of soda water. Billy Horan in left field and D. E. Mccormick in center were no small potatoes.
 There were a lot of old stiffs in 1 Yuma Monday but the Good Tenn plars are strengthened out now and will entertain challenges from any nine in the territory.
 Tine kid nine was composed ol Frank and Harry Townsend, Henry Meeden, Joe Lorona, Alfred Ramirez, Ed Thurlow, Jose Olea, Mike Levy and P. Wilson.

Wireless TeIegraphy.

It Is said that successful experiments have at last been accomplished in wire less telegraphy, and this would un- doubtedly be good thing, revolutionize many ways of doing business. One writer has gone so far as to say that wireless telegraphy is the greatest dis covery of the age. We beg to differ. Don't overlook HostetersStomach Bit ters when you talk about the great things of the world. This peerless medicine has done more to promote health and settle stomach troubles than any other medicine in existence. It cures dyspepsia, indigestion, malaria and constipation. It never fails.

1t was once laid down by cele-
brated writer and historian that the
difference between rising at and in
the morning for the space Of forty
years, supposing a man to go to bed
at the same hour every night, is nearly
equivalent to the addition of ten years
to the life. This consideration should
carry very great weight and be sufl
cient to induce those who have not
hitherto practiced this habit to COM
mence to do so, more especially the
people who are always complaining
that life is not long enough for them to
transact all the work that they have
to perform. There is much founda-
ton for their complaint II they persist
in wasting so many valuable hours OF
the day in bed. The advantages and
benefits of early rising cannot be over
estimated in the early hours of the
morning the brain is clearer and more
ready for work, and after nights
sleep we should be ready to attack the
work of the day.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Want OF care does us more damage
than want of knowledge.
Private charity must be discrimin.
ating in order to be useful.
Would you live with ease, do wha!
you ought, and not what you please.
If man has little ability, people
abuse him because he does not "do''
more.
The dwarf sees farther than the
giant when he has the giants shoulders
to mount on.
1t is only clear that many fortunes
are in excess of any rational reward of
individual service.
How few there are who have courage
enough to own their faults, or resolu-
ton enough to mend them!
The worst romance is not go cor
rupting as false history, false phil.
osophy or false political essays.
AS rule there is more happiness,
more genuine satisfaction and truer
life, and more obtained from life, in
the humble cottages of the poor than
in tho palaces of the rich.
Never try to make too good bar

The La Harpe (Kan.) Argus has a
genius in its outfit who has evolved a
truly novel device to whet the readers
curiosity, and thereby contribute to
the effectiveness of an advertisement.
Over four-inch double-column ad. q
slip of news paper of the same size was
pasted by the edge, so that it easily
"fapped," upon which was printed in
large letters, Don't lift this up" The
inventor of course calculated from his
knowledge of human nature that not
one person in thousand would obey
the injunction. Without doubt the
advertisement to which attention was
directed in this way was more thor
oughly and more generally read than
all the others in the paper; still, il
the Argus secured adequate pay for
its extra labor and expense, it did
well. There is no danger, if the AR
gus genius patents his device, of in
fringement by papers Of large circnla-
ton.

At the New Year reception at the

man, who said "Mr. Dobson." BY that
time everybody within hearing dis
lance was shaking with suppressed
laughter. The seven 'Dobsons" eyed
each other scornfully after they got
into the east room, and, excepting the
,ociety woman and her daughters,
went their several ways, they being
In no way connected. The name was
not Dobson, but that does not matter.

The good housewife who, forty or
fifty years ago, looked out in the
street now and then 80 as to be sure
and not miss the charcoal man when
he came along, and who bought char
coal by the bushel or the barrel, to be
carried in from the wagon and emp
tied in the cellar, would have been
surprised to see, as she might nova
days, charcoal sold in paper bags. The
charcoal thus sold is residue of the
manufacture of wood alcohol, pro-
duced by the charring of hardwoods,
beech and maple, in kilns. 1t comes
from northern Pennsylvania and
southern New York. 1t is shipped
in bulk, in carloads, from the region
of production to the places of distri.
button and there put into bags for
sale.
This modern way of selling charcoal
was introduced into Buffalo about
eight years ago. Buffalo now buys
10000 to Is, 900 bags daily. Charcoal
in paper bags has since been intro.
duced in various other cities as far
east as Boston. 1t has been sold in
New York for about two years.
The paper bags are stout sacks Of
the same general proportions as an
eighth-barrel -four sack, but little
larger and holding half a bushel OF
charcoal. The filed bags are tied
around the neck. Charcoal in paper
bags is sold in stores, like any other
commodity.-New York Sun.

BLEW OFF AND SETTLED THERE,

| How Tipsy Passenger Happened to Los
cate In n Good Farming Region.
''The wind blew a passenger off my
train when 1 was railroading in the
Western country" said conductor
now on an Illinois run.
"But 1 didn't know it until three
years after the occurrence" he con-
tinued. "He was ticketed for South.
ern California, and several times DUR
ing the day he asked me questions.
Soon after his last question. I missed
him from his seat. Later in the day
he was still missing, but his overcoat
was on the back of the seat.
II asked other passengers if they
had seen him leave the car. No one
remembered it. 1 searched the train,
but failed to find him. / then took
his coat, and turned it in, making
report on the case. The company held
it for some time, and when no inquiry
was made the company advertised the
coat in the hope that the mystery might
be solved. There was no response.
This only spurred the company to re-
new its search, and I know that sew
eral hundred dollars were spent in an
effort to find the owner OF the coat.
You see, railroad companies have souls,
in spite of an opinion held by some to
the contrary.
"And now here is one for the country
editor. Such one heard of the in
cident and printed it in his paper.
Curiously enough, one of his subscrib-
ers, who read the story, was the man
who lost the coat, and he presented
himself at the company's Office, proved
his property, and got it,
"His story was that he imbibed
pretty freely, and stepped out on the
platform to get fresh air. The wind
was blowing a gale, and before he
could get purchase it swept him from
the car. AS he was drunk the fall did
not hurt him. do not say this, how
ever, as favoring too free indulgence in
liquor.
"When he sobered up he felt
ashamed, and stopped in farmhouse
nearby, where he found bargain in
farm land, and purchased. He can
celled his far Western trip and settled
on his newly acquired purchase. This
was his story. 1 have told mine. -

sable Islands Fight Against tho Sca-
The Inroads Made by tho Ocean.
Sable island belongs to Nova SEQ
| tia, is las miles from Halifax and IS
miles east of Capt Canso," writes Gus
| tav Kobbe In Ainslee's for February.
1T is treeless, shrubless waste, seam
ed by wind and wave and of ever
changing aspect. A coneshaped hill
near the east end, once mere undu-
lation of sand, Is now over a hundred
feet high, and is still growing. Other
hillocks are gradually being moved
away by storms. The hillocks are Ii
able to be undermined SO swiftly and
swept out Of existence that they are
carefully watched from the various
stations on the island, there being no
certainty how far an inroad of the sea
will extend after each successful at
tack. Even the coarse grass of the
island grows in a different manner
from that OF the mainland. 1t does
not bear seed, but shoots up from roots
which run along the sand. During the
and buries 1t sometimes three or four
feet deep. But the hardy blades grow
up next season, as II the island sands
had protected them from the cold in
winter in order to make them ell the
stronger. The island itself is fighting
for self-preservation. 1t seems as II 1t
drew ships into Its fatal embrace as
rallying points for its loose and shift
ing sand thus to protect itself by a
bulwark of wrecks against annihila-
ton by the sea. Tradition says that
when Sable island was discovered by
Cabot, in 1447, 1t was eighty miles long
and ten miles wide. In 1902, when a
rescue station was established there, 1t
was only forty miles long. Since then
1t has shrunk to but little more than
twenty miles in length, and in width
It Is only mile at its widest Within
twenty-eight years the western end
lost seven miles. Shoals over which
the ocean now surges are pointed out
as former sites OF lighthouses One Of
these was so swiftly undermined by
the sea that 1t had to be abandoned
with the greatest precipitation. Tho
spot where once stood the superlnten-
dents house is now under two faith
oms of water. The island, rapidly d.
minishing at its western end, is slight
ly gaining at its eastern. Slowly, like
a ship dragging its anchor, 1t Is NOV
ing eastward. Will 1t ever reach the
edge of the shoals. stand tottering on
the brink Of the abyss till 1t receives
its coup-de-grace and plunge over the
submarine bank forever into the
depths? Unfortunately, Its end will
probably be less dramatic. There is
good ground for believing that this
gray sand bar will slowly wear away
until 1t becomes another submerged
shoal added to an ambuscade already
some sixty miles in length-for line
Of breakers extends sixteen miles from
one end Of the island and twenty-eight
miles from the other"
