PLAYED BALL ON THE SNOW.

Two Ships Crews Had an Exciting
Game in the Arctic Region
Baseball was introduced into the
Arctic regions by the crew Of the
schooner Thallium, which, under COM
mand of Captain Kent, arrived recently
from Ivigtut, Greenland, with cargo
Of cryolite. 1t is safe to say that the
national pastime was never before at
tempted in the face Of such difficulties.
The British bark Silicon was at that
lonely Greenland port with the Thai
ium, and was loading for Philadelphia.
The temperature while the two YES
sells were receiving their cargoes bor-
dered close on to 80 degrees below zero.
The sailors, not being called upon to
handle the curious mineral, sh1vered
around the galley fires and rapidly be-
came imbued with the lassitude which
is almost invariably the portion or
those called upon to endure extreme
cold.
Captain Jansen Of the Silicon pro-
posed-more in jest than in earnest
that the men play ball. The idea I'M
dressed them and they determined to
brave the temperature and essay the
snort with which all of them were toll
erably familiar.
A level plain was found near Ivigtut,
with a flooring Of powdered snow,
frozen to the consistency of adamant.
Under the midnight sun, and with a
wondering audience Of fur-clad LIS
kimo. home runs and three-baggers
were knocked out.
It was necessary for all the players
to bundle themselves up in true arctic
fashion. All hands wore gloves, so that
wild throws and errors galore were
many. Boatswain Brown of the Inal-
linn tied the score in the fourth inning
nv coming home from second base on
a passed ball, with the sensational ac-
compartment of slide from third base
clear to the plate. The Thalllum ere"
eventually won by a score OF 10 runs
to their opponents 81.
The Thallium is the first schooner 70
orr;va from Greenland in twenty-nV

Were successor for it in sight, the out
look would be different, but as yet only
one fancy has chance, and that is max

trimming. Nothing is more stylish than
old-fashioned bead work bags mounted i'll
modern fashion. Bead work embroidery
appears, too, and the use of it is likely
to extend. New gowns for street wear,
too, are trimmed with bands of close bead
work in conventional designs, brilliantly
colored and gold beads being used.
The uses of these trimmings are varied
greatly, the rule against masses of them
bringing no danger Of monotony. The

ct the head Of the fine: ..Hello. my
lads! So you want job, do you? Step
into the Office, here" and a moment
later they found themselves in the
Office alone with its owner, who sat
down In his swing chair and regarded
them intently through his gold-bowed
glasses.

chant. But first want to know about
your old apple woman, and If you got

"Why-what-" stammered Dick,
confusedly, looking as If he thought the
merchant had suddenly taken leave OF
his senses.
"Oh, yesl know" cried Ned. 'sHe
was on the car that day that you tum-
bled of to help that old woman. Don't
you remember, Dick?'
"oh, yes. Well, SIR" he said, turn

chant. Il missed the show, but ]

and got 1t on the market again"

"and think you're the boy for us. You

manager will set you to work; and II

Jameson to take this boys name and
set him to work; he'll begin next Mon
day morning And tell those other boys
they may go. The place Is filed. Good
day, my lads" and the busy merchant
turned again to his paper-strewn desk.
A little later the boys found them
selves again in the street. For few
moments they walked along in silence,
when Ned burst out:
'Well, / declare, Dick Norton, you're
the very luckiest boy in this city. It's
perfectly plain to be seen that old Farm
ham has taken shine to you, and your
fortunes made, haven't any doubt
ooh, not quite as good as that, though
1 am glad to get the place, I'll confess"
answered Dick, whose beaming fa &c
showed pleanly his qualification at his
success.
'sWho ever would have thought re-
turned Ned, "that your tumbling off the
car that day in the rain would have
got you that snug berth with the very
best house in the city? Yes, sir, Dick,
you surely are a lucky dog"
But, between you and me, think 1t
was luck that Dick well deserved, and
I have no fear that Farnham & Co.

their number wau1a be much greater. A

DICK NORTON'S LUCK


ST was a wet, sloppy day in late
September. There were only a few
- people on the car, and they were all
intent on their own affairs, except two
bows who were chatting together In
true school boy fashion. All at once
one of the boys sprang to his feet, gave
the bell q sharp jerk, and started to
leave the car.
Here. where are you going, DickY'
cried his companion, astonished at his
friends sudden desertion.
I'm going to stop and help that old
woman. Just look therew Dick called
back over his shoulder, pointing to the
pavement, where mischievous boy
had Overset an old woman's fruit stall,
and then ran on, leaving her to gather
up her scattered stock as best she
could The poor, bewildered old crea-
ture was bobbing distractedly around,

tight waist fashion, and wear bodices
buttoned close up the front, they are
those who are pretty sure Of the SYM

jacket that buttons double breasted, or
that is double breasted at the bust line,
is more generally becoming. Many of
such jackets are gentlemanly in finish,
others show the revers faced with con-

A FOOLISH RULE.

young woman who drew one Of
the prizes in the Oklahoma land lot
terry was married day or two after
the drawing and was notified that
because of her marriage she would
lose her right to the land. The Wash
ington Post very properly condemns
the notion that this woman could be
deprived of any right which she had
fairly acquired because of her mar
riage. The Post says:
Nov, surely. this is an Incredible
Condition of affairs, for which an en-
Hghtened government such as ours
is herein made responsible. These
two women have apparently complied
wi h the regulations issued by the in
terror department and have had the
luck to draw hoilNste1ds under the
official process. If they were not
eligible they would presumably, have
been excluded. II they were eligible
/. must be taken for granted--what
right has the government to deprive
them Of their properly acquired
rights? Was there any proylso that
the winners in the drawing should ev-
er after lead a celibate and lonely
life? II so, we have not heard of It,
ana Ia any event it would be so IRA
tional and tyranical as to invite the
condemnation Of all just men. The
department might as well have said
that any prize winner subsequently
losing a leg or inheriting piece Of
property elsewhere would, lpso facto,
forfeit the holding acquired under the
drawing It is well enough to for
bid the sale Of such properly until
title shall have been perfected by
fourteen months Of actual residence,

best guarantee ot good faith they
could possibly give--is to say a stupid

When the Iowa, Sac and Fox and
Pottawatomie lands, tho Cheyenne and
Arapahoe reservations, the strip and
the Kickapoo lands were opened to
settlement the school lands were all
very soon leased a. a good big rental
without heretofore being appraised.
Then why should the school lands in
the Kiowa and Comanche countries
be appraised before leasing. People
stood ready to bid for them and would
have given all they were worth, too.
without the expense of six to eight
thousand dollars being made in ap-
pralsing them. It is only after lands
have been improved that appraisment
is needed and this class Of lands are
The only ones which any preceding
territorial administration has spent
money TO appraise.
A great howl was made against the
Barnes administration because Attor-
ney General Cunningham was paid a
per cent for collection Of some uncer-
tain notes - the people who uphold
and applaud this expense. That was
an expense which brought good returns
to the school fund, but where will
the appraisment of the new lands be
of a dollars benefit to the land fund.-
It looks much as II the whole
scheme originated in the fertile brain
of Bin Little who wanted a soft job
and who seems to have sure pull
with the Jenkins administration.
