are Indian boys about 10 years OF age,

though the cunning Of the race is very

and the others namca is Joe DeIoe:
McCuonse is from WISCONSIN and be-

other two hail from Oklahoma Terri

The cause Of their arrest was the

about 7:4O o'clock the night of Dec.
4th and stealing ride therein to Bel

The Others pushed the door open. At
Belpre, Ohio, that night they were
discovered and arrested. They were
turned over to the authorities at
Chillicothe and were later sent to
Athens. Saturday forenoon they were
brought here by ], II. Downey, b. s.
o. detective, and taken before Squire
Riley upon a warrant the detective
had sworn out against them. They
made free and full confession to the
Squire.
According to their story they were
students ut the governments Indian
school at Carlisle, Pa. They longed
for their "happy hunting grounds"
and ran away fromthe institution two
weeks ago last Saturday. They came
here by way Of Hagerstown and Cum
berland, Md, and Grafton, walking
from Grafton to Clarksburg, and COM
hitting the depreciation the night af-
ter their arrival. They had railroad
maps, schedules and guides and in
tended to go by Point Pleasant and
other points, which are on direct
route to their home. They had no
baggage, except few trinkets in
jewelry such as watch chains and
charms, and a fountain pen filed with
red ink, and razor.
The magistrate decided to retain
them in jail here until the school au-
thorities at Carlisle could be COM
municatedwit as to their return to the
institution. c. II. Porter, the sheriff
at Athens, received telegram from
the superintendent OF the institution

the ends of the scene of conflict pro-
duce intense excitement. Accidents
are frequent. Broken legs and arms
are commonplace injuries to the vet
eran poloist.s The ponies, game little
fellows, take their punishment like
stoics, never ceasing their speedy dash
es, headlong plunges and quick turns
while the 10 minute periods are in
progress.
The pony is one of the unique fea-
lures of polo. He must have capa-
bilities, the lack of which renders him
entirely unsuited to the purpose. The
pony bred for the game has to be

to stop quickly, to start instantaneous

In England, where polo is a favorite
recreation among the well to do, the
players make" their ponies them

train him with the greatest of care.
Here in America, however, the max
ing" Of polo ponies is in large meas
ure left to the breeder, who has not the
time to bring them to perfection.
The American polo ponies have a
much harder life than their English
counterparts, because the major part
of their training is administered to
them at a time when they are much
older. Oftentimes they are wild bron-
choS, laSsoed out of an unbrCken herd,
saddled and bridled by force and the
next day started at guarding cattle.
After pony has had several months
experience in herding, cutting" and
driving cattle he becomes a good candi-
date for the ranks of polo If he is
sound, under IA hands inches and has
done commendable work among the
cattle in Texas or Mexico, he is shipped
to the east, the polo center of America,
where he becomes acquainted with
shoes and also finds out the meaning of
locked tails and clipped names. An
English saddle and bride are placed on
! him, and there is an American polo
pony ready for action.

Naturally pony in England, with
breeding, care and training, is worth

paid for really good pony by John
Bull, whereas here 81 900 is far above
the average price.

MELBOURNE, April 26.-The first great
day of the recently formed common
wealth of Australia is very near, the
day when the federal parliament will
be opened by the Duke of York and
Cornwall, who, with the duchess and
the regal party, will soon be here. Mel
bourne is in gala attire, as BELTS the
occasion. The streets are decorated
with arches and bunting. bands are
playing, festivity follows festivity.
But throughout the appearance of
gayety is felt the solemnity which
should mark the birth of the common
wealth. The hum Of political activity
is in the air. Already the premier and
the cabinet have established their Of
fees here, and already measures have
been prepared or are in process of
preparation for the welfare of the peo-
pie of the united continent.
Up to the present time Australia has
been divided into separate colonies, all
contending against each other in the
matter of commerce and business in
terests. But now the case is vastly
different. All are united and have a
single eye to the interests Of all, being

members on it's rolls. Twenty men are
kept at work caring for its property,
and for this purpose the club expends
about $3.50 a week in salaries. Already
more than 100000 has been spent on
the cricket field, which covers about
nine acres, half of this being used for
playing.
The city, as has already been limited,
takes great pride in providing places Of
amusement and instruction for its peo-
pie. There are all sorts of public in
situations, such as art galleries, muse
ums, baths and technical schools. There
is also a workingman's school. which
has several thousand students, and
there are many night schools. The city
also maintains an aquarium and a
splendid zoo.
Melbourne is in many respects like
an American city. II has grown rapid
ly in the past. and there seems to be
no reason why it should not grow rap
idly in the future.

DEDHAM, Mass, May 27.-Never be
fore in the history of the game has po-
10 entered on a season with prospects
more brilliant than those at present
held out by 1901.
During the last few years public in
terest in the magnificent old game Of
polo lapsed to some extent. Golf, BIZ
cycling and kindred past..Ies attaining
popularity with the American people
attracted thousands of tl-c devotees Of
various other sports. Polo suffered
with the rest. Now, however, the game
is retaining its own in no uncertain
fashion. Clubs have arranged series
Of tournaments. players have got out
their mallets, and the wiry, broncho-
like polo ponies have been brought into
splendid form for the eXhausting ma
neuvers of the summers work on the
many well kept grounds throughout
the length and breadth of the UniteG
States.
Dedham has an unusual interest In
polo this year. The crack team from
this city won the championship of
America in the tourney at Prospect
park, Brooklyn, last sTdImer. The gen.
eral expectation he.Yeabouts is that the
New England 1Milet wielders will be
able to stand ~ their competitors from
the middle. s<dthern and western states
again wRGn the championships are
played ,,fater on in Brookline, Mass,
that picturesque Boston suburb.
The revival of polo in this country
will bring back into prominence the
many characteristic and attractive fea-
lures of the game for which it was
formerly distinguished.
Polo is pre-eminently game for soci-
ETY. folk. The excessive cost of the
paraphernalia required for the diver
sion-as in yachting, horse racing and
automobiling-debar the majority of
sport lovers from participation therein.
The scenes at a popular polo ground
while a match is on are fascinating
and kaleidoscope in the extreme. Tai
lyhos, smart traps, bloOded horses,
beautiful women gayly attired in
many hued summer gowns and hosts
of lesser lights surround the spacious,
green carpeted, oblong Enclosure.
