a pan Game with No Shouting.

Boys, what kind of sport would
baseball be to you if You couldn't yell
and laugh and give vent to your bois-
terous feelings? 1t would be tame,
wouldn't it? A game in which you
could not shout "Slide, Johnny, slide -
or Come on. come on. Bob wouldn't
be worth seeing, much less playing,
but this kind Of game is on the dia-
mond up at Delayan, Wis, nearly
every day in the week. 1t is played
by the deaf mu$es in the Wisconsin
school for the deaf. located at Della
van. ~
A match game between the mutos
and the nine of the Beliot high school
was played last Saturday afternoon.
The dummies" as everybody there
calls the unfortunates, batted the Wis
itors all over the field and won by a
score of Is to s. The pitcher of the
home team is a full-blod Oneida In,
dian boy. His name is Archie VII
liams, and he comes from the Stock
bridge reservation at Gresham, Sha-
wano county. The catcher is a big
chested fellow named Fred Smith,
who from behind his mask seemed to
pick the Indians twisters from of the
bat, and another player who came in
fer much applause was q strapping
young man from Argyle, named Joe"
Ryan. To the onlooker the game Of
these speechless boys is extremely
interesting. The umpire must call the
balls and strikes by boJn voice and
motion SO that all may know his de-
cisions. In the event Of a controversy
they gather about the umpire, making
all kinds of signals by the use Of
their fingers and sundry shakes Of the
head The whole school gathers to
witness the game, and when a fine
play or run is made by one of their
number 200 hats go up in the air. and
long arms and rapidly crookirg dig.ts
are saying all kinds of things. When
q tumble or other misplay is made
the unfortunates have unique ways Of
venting their displeasure and unutter-
able disgust.

''Why, Tom. what was the matterE
asked his teacher. as the defeated boy

"Where?"

Tom belonged to settlement school,
and the school had furnished most, if
not all. the real happiness he had
ever known. Here the good in him
was developed until somehow he be-
gan to forget the bad.
He was a sturdy little athlete, and
won most OF the races and other con
tests Of strength Through various
winsome traits he had found his way
to the heart of his teacher, and she
was always interested in his success.
One day arrangements had been
made for a foot race. Several boys
were to run. although everybody was
sure that Tom would win.
The preliminaries were settled the
race started. and the boys were off
over the course. Tom led clear ana
free for about half the distance. then
TO the surprise of every one, Johnny
began to gain upon him. Jim was
just behind Johnny and running Wig
orously. Toms feet seemed to grow
heavy, and Johnny steadily decreased
the distance between them, until
finally he shot past Tom, and. with
sudden squirt gained the goal fully
five yards in advance. jim was close
behind, and he, too. sped over the line
little ahead of Tom. but enough to

Some years ago a popular bishop
of the Northern Province decided late
in life to marry. The secret was well
kept; neither the date nor place of
the rite leaked out, but the memorial
notice writer on q morning paper, who
was intimate with nearly every eccles-
iastic in his lordship's diocese, heard
a mysterious rumor of the coming
wedding. He mentioned the rumor
at the office, and was instructed to
give a special report of the ceremony.
Jaunty. gossippy, interchangeable, he
ferreted out the church. though it was
distant, attended the wedding. hustled
into the vestry, watched the signing
of the register, and then, to the pre-
late's astonishment, heartily grasped
his hand and said: Good morning,
my lord-pretty wedding-much hap
piness-allow me to congratulate You

Gently written scientific review of the
subject of dams. The beaver he says
does not build his dam straight across
the stream, but with an arch against
the current, his instinct telling him
that in this storm it viii better resist

This hint from the little animal has
been acted upon in many cases lately,

stream, chiefly, perhaps to save ma
terial, but the arched dam is the more
economical in the long run.

LlCHTENED LABOR.

'Tis hard life's duties to perform,
When we are tired and wish to dream.
But love will tighten labor so.
And make it sweetest pleasure seem.
1t keeps our thoughts above the toll,
On comforts which our work will add,
And sends such thoughts of sweet de-
light,
And think our lot was pretty hard,
And worry with the constant care.
But oh, how love will Tighten toll,
And all the heavy burdens share,
Till work seems joy, to make all nice
For dear ones that we love so well;
How well we feel repaid for it,
When they their appreciation tell.

Mr.. Jefferson probably wrote more
letters with his own hand than any
other public man that ever lived The
extent of his correspondence may be
inferred from the fact that 26,000
letters neatly folded and briefed, were
preserved by him and found carefully
fled away at the time of his death,
with copies Of the replies sent to
more than 10000. These, however,
were only a small portion of his cor
regpCndcnce, as he retained only
those he considered of future useful
ness Or Importance. Stenography was
not invented at that time. Every one
of his letters was written with his own
and, and with great care, although
after breaking his wrist while min
ister of France. it became a great
labor to him. His penmanship was
small, plain and legible, every letter
being perfectly formed, and his ac-
count books are kept in so small
hand that many of the pages cannot
be read without magnifying glass.
jefferson was ambideXtrous. He
could write equally well with either
hand. When his wrist was broken he
learned to write with his left hand,
which became as skilful as the other.
It would have been impossible FOR
him to have carried on his extensive
correspondence without being able to
relieve his right hand at intervals

that tired feeling" The American

is too Geary to arise on Sunday morn
ing aid sleeps until noon. That keeps
him from church. To overcome this
