me to get careless. However, I won the majority of games and averaged 219. His average was 221, think.
 If the New Workers keep up the gait that they have shown this spring, there should be at least four games in she seven with totals over 1000. In practice games the Chicago team, without the services of Billy Lee, who has been sick in bed, averaged away over the 900 mark. Still the team did not do so well as I had expected it would. We must get as many zoos each as the eastern fellows or they will make us look sick.
 How will I roll? We'll, will not get stage fright, I'll assure the packers of the western rollers. Those who are familiar with my style of rolling know that I take but little run and do not deliver such a speedy ball. There is some twist in the ball, but am for the one-three each time. Sometimes in spite of myself the ball crosses the alley a bit and makes for the one-two pins. However, it is equally effective in the matter of bringing strikes. I learned how l could best make spares just as a billiardist learns how to make cer- tain carom, cushion or draw shots, and I make it rule to always adopt the same style in going after similar spares. Never shift your style be- cause some other way seems easier when after single pin or group of pins. That is what causes rollers to hate themselves for blowing easy spares"
 George Bangart. one Of the surest bowlers in the land when after spares, has been keyed up to high tension of late by his league games, and in his va rious sraces for individual championship plums, to say nothing Of the regular City club games where the high man makes money, will not be rattled when he faces the foul line at Toledo. At, the A. B. C. national tourney Bangart rolled in the two-man team champion ship and actually performed like a novice.
 It, is easy enough to tell how you are going to bowl" said Bangart in discussing the coming match, ''but the pins look different every time. I think that we will have hard time beating New York. but we will not be whipped until the last frame shows against us. When you are bowling in luck, you make yourself all kinds of luck. That there is considerable of the element of luck about bowling, am convinced. Of course I mean that steady rollers who hit the pins properly are likely to have wider range of luck than the poorer rollers.''
 Fred Worden, like Frank Brill. at- tends to bowling alleys, but both of these men have little or no practice. The New Workers are practicing hard for the match and it is confidently ex- pected in Gotham that the scores of the seven games will be about as fol- lows: 9s7 to 9sO; 1,oo6 to 993; 966 to e57; 954 to 1.OO9; 1,0o9 to 1,o1s; ses to BIO, and r933 to 924, with New York get ting the majority. The wish, of course, is father to the thought in the case of the expert who has made these figures. Capt. Starr, when I asked him to ven- ture some figures, remarked: 'The figures are all in the pins. We will knock out as many as we can."

COON FISHING FOR cRAwFIsH.

little track like child's. A woodman once told his wife that a child was lost in the forest, for he had seen it's footprints, and the worthy couple spent the night searching for it, and at last found a raccoon. I saw pet coon climb up window by a set of wooden bars once and attack a wasp's nest, eating the wasps with relish. A man told me coon story the other day. thongh, that beats mine. He says: Once I carried the coon with me to a quilting place where there was swarm of bees. You know a coon loves honey better than any thing. The quilting was proceeding nicely-all the women folks sitting around plying their needles-when in dashed the coon, literally covered with bees. He rushed under the quilt, strewing the mad insects.
 tell you the quilting moved, and the chairs flew, and the dresses Tapped, and such a dancing was never seen before. Pet coons were not worth much in that market after ward.
 Did you ever catch a crawfish?
 
 el way. A gentleman walking down stream noticed number of craw- fish holes that were quite smooth, and thought the fish had worn them in passing out. On saying so to friend he was told that the coons did it by putting their paws in. He did not half believe the story, but as he had a. pet coon at home he thought he would test it. So the next day he took the coon with him into the. field where there were hundreds of craw- fish holes. As soon as the animal saw one he ran his forepaw in as deep as he could, gave it little jerk, and pretty soon brought it out with a sudden motion with big crawfish hanging to it. He ate the fish and continued his operations, with better luck than is common to fishermen, until he had eaten a good dinner.- Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Lad Who Saved an Infant.

At Allentown, Pa, several weeks ago terrible flood swept down the mountains and carried devastation in its course. When the waters were at their height Cleveland Downs, mes senger boy, aged IA, saved an Italian infant nine months old from drown ing. When the mother of the child dropped it she had an older one in her arms and was powerless to res cue the little one. Her cries for help were promptly answered by the lad, who waded into the water waist deep and rescued the infant.

DOG WITH A CONSCIENCE.
Bundy obeyed It's Dictates Even at the Risk of Disgrace and se-
 were Punishment.

Bundy is big, shaggy dog, with large, brown eyes, which are express sive and beautiful, but barring his eyes, it must be said that he is not handsome. He possesses attractions of another kind, however, which en- dear him to his master and cause the number of his friends to increase daily.
 Bundy's owner lives in the moun- tains of western Maryland, where min- ing is the chief industry of the people. MT. Anthony, his master, is connected with one of the coal mining companies operating in that regions and every morning walks about one mile to his work and back again in the evening. At, noon every day it is Bnndy's work to carry basket containing lunch con across the mountain to his mas ter, and for long time he has accom- plished this duty with evident joy to himself and satisfaction to his owner.
 One day some time ago Bundy ap- peared at the coal-weighing office, where his master works, at the usual hour, but minus the basket. MT. An thony was greatly perplexed and thought a circumstance so unusual be- tokened trouble of some kind at home. After few questioning words with Bundy, MT. Anthony started for home, accompanied by the dog, who followed closely upon his masters heels, but seemed i'll at ease. Upon reaching the house it was learned that Bundy had left that morning with his basket as usual, and was seen going up the side

of the mountain and hurrying on un- til he was@lost to view among the trees.gp X
 The mystery was now intensified, but no suspicion of wrongdoing had ever attached to Bundy's good name, and his master would not believe him guilty of unfaith hfulness in this in- stance. A new basket was procured, the daily trips were resumed and Bundy's punctnal regularity in creased the, belief in his, innocence. The days and weeks passed on and the mystery still remained as deep as ever.
 Perhaps as long as two months after the incident deseribed one day late in the afternoon Bundy was seen ap- preaching the house carrying the missing basket in his mouth. Slowly walking up to the kitchen door he dropped the basket and then quickly ran away, hiding himself in the shad- ows under the big porch The lunch con was found intact, just as it had been placed in the basket on the morning it was prepared for his mas ter.
 On the same day, up on the noun tain side just little back from the path leading to the weighing office, a hole in the ground was found and the pile of leaves and earth freshly heaped by it's side told the story of the miss ing basket.
 Since the discovery, MT. Anthony loves the devoted dog more than ever, for he insists that ,Bundy has proved he has conscience and that he obeys it, following its promptings even at the risk of disgrace and punishment. Chicago Record.

He has whis- kers like cat and a tail with such even dark rings around it that they look as if they had been painted there. His feet are long and slim like those of monkey, and he makes

It Will Regulate the Storage of Hay and Like Material Within the City Limits of
 Montgomery.

The citizens residing in the block bounded by South Lawrence, South Mo Donough, High and Grove Streets, are not discouraged because the city code does not contain an ordinance to prevent the storage of hay in large quantities outside of the fire limits. They say they are determined that w. D. Peck shall not have a storage warehouse for hay at their very doors and intend to nght the matter to the end.
 In the meantime MT. Peck Is proceed ing with the erection of his barn.

 The ordinance is as follows:
 ITO regulate the storing or keeping of hay, shucks, fodder, excelsior and other inflammable materials of like character in wooden buildings in the city of Mont gomerY.
 "Be it ordained by the City Council of Montgomery:
 "Section l. That from and after the passage of this ordinance 1t shall be un- lawful for any person to store or keep in any wooden building which Is situated within fifty feet of any dwelling house in any portion of the city of Montgomery, more than twenty bales of hay, shucks, fodder. excelsior or other inf1ammable material of like character at any one time.
 Sec. 2 Be it further ordained; that it shall be unlawful for any person to store or keep in any such wooden building more than one ton of loose hay, shucks, fodder, excelsior or other inf1ammable material of like character at any one time.
 Sec 3. Be it further ordained that any person violating any of the proVis- ions of this ordinance shall, upon convic- ton, be fined not less than one nor more than one hundred dollars for each of fense."
