Victory for Capital Bi.

The development of bowling in the Bank

the members thereof have come to the con-
clusion that representative team would

plete victory Tor the Capital "Bi." bowlers
The Bankers did very we'll in the first two
games. but becoming discouraged fell off

staying over the 500 mark in every game

NED HANLoN TALKS.
Confirms Report That Delehanty Has
Deserted Washington.

deserted washington.
From the Baltimore Sun
Manager Edward Hanlon of the Brooklyn
National League Baseball Club, will leave
Baltimore for New York Monday to attend
the National League meeting to be neld
there.
Hanlon said last night he expected that
much general business would be transacted.
He Is member of the committee rules.
He did not know that any changes were
proposed.
He was of the opinion that W. C. Temple
of Pittsbufg, who gave the once famous
Temple cup for a post-season series OF
games could get unanimous vote If he
would agree to accept the presidency of the
league, 1t being the opinion of the club
owners that Mr.. Temple is such an agrees
sive business man as to make a success of
any enterprise he may enter.
One man at the helm is better than sew
eral IS the seeming deduction from M
Hanlon's remarks.
When asked If he thought the National
League would put a cub in Baltimore Mr.
HaH1on smiled and said: Il don't know
what the league will do. With Baltimore
Washington. Detroit and one other western
city great twelve-club league would re
suit"
When asked If he was satisfied that Nc
Graw had secured Delehanty Mr. Hanlon
said:
Il sure of it weeks ago. 1 saw them
together often. They both know horses
and are friends"
How will the next seasons BROOKLYN
club compare with that of Last year?" was
asked.
The manager promptly said: '.It will
compare, so far my judgment goes most
favorably. So far have six pitchers, three
catchers, strong infield and two reliable
outfelders. l need a few more men, but
have plenty Of time for selecting them"
In conclusion foxy Ned said II guess
the National League VIII follow it's usual
custom-not be hasty, but let the young
fledgling make a trial fight before it an
nounces it's policy for the coming year

FARMER JOE'S SPEECH.

"You may get the better of an oppo-
nent in debate" said an old time ora
tor. ''by sheer force of convincing argu-
ment-that is to say. you may score
and win on points-but il you want to
put your man down and out at single

cy like so many blank cartridges.
"Once when l was serving term up
the state in the legislature bumptious
youngster who had just been introduc-
ed was laboring through his maiden
effort. He was attacking a man who
was his senior by at least a score and
ten years and thought to make hit by
referring to him as that little gray
beard from Herkimer.' Rymal of Mag
ara rose to reply. He was an old timer,
who never spoke unless he had some
thing to say and so was always sure of
an attentive audience. Farmer Joe, as
he was called, got up slowly, gradually
expanded himself to his full height of
feet 4, thrust his left hand behind the
tails of a capacious and somewhat
shabby frock coat, held up the index
finger of his right hand, cleared his
throat ominously and solemnly began:
"'AIr. Speaker, the honorable gentle
man who has just spoken has never
read Pope's essay. If he had, he would
remember that the "soul's the standard

as that of the honorable gentleman
who preceded me could be put into the
skull of flea and have as much room
there as two frogs in Lake Superior
He didn't have to say more. The
chamber went into a convulsion of
laughter which lasted for several min
utes after the tall farmer had resumed
his seat. AS for the youngster, he die
the best he could. He wriggled about,
got red in the face, tried to look uncon-
cerned and kept his mouth closed dur

Each animal kes it's own kind of
track IN the aEldd. snow or dust. No

ofsn coon is never like that of a fox,
and the track of fox is readily dis
tinguished from that of a rabbit or
small dog. And, more than that, the
track of one coon may differ from that
of his own brother, so that one can
sometimes distinguish the track of a
given individual and by seeing it on
different occasions get something like
an insight into its life. Thus famous
grizzly in the west was known by his
track. One OF his toes had been cut
off by a trap, and the difference that
made In his track was easy to see.
To come nearer home, our common
animals sometimes have unpleasant
experiences with steel traps. The

In other cases the track is extra large
or small or Is crooked, but it always
keeps the main features of its kind.

need be mistaken for that of another,

the chief kinds of footmarks that are
to be found in your region. The way to

find, always sketching them right from
nature, never from memory, and it is

LAZY AND COLD BLOODED.
An Incident That Nearly Cost Sir
Hugh Rose His Peerage.


Hugh Rose His PeeraEe.
Lord Strathnairn was the most indo-
lent, lackadaisical, languid person who
ever dawdled along Piccadilly. When
he was devastating central India and
winning the splendid victories that i'm
mortalized his name, he was so lazy
that he could not be got to dictate the
dispatches recording his own triumphs.
Months elapsed before these documents
could be extracted from him, and then
they were brief and meager to the last
degree. One day when Sir Hugh Rose
ne was entertaining a gallant company
at dinner during the crisis of the mu-
tiny.
With the utmost sang fruid ne was
delighting those near him with one of
his best anecdotes. In the middle of it
his orderly entered and after saluting
exclaimed, I'VE have captured 200 reb-
els, sir" To him the general turned
and, with that elegant courtesy of
manner on which he prided himself,
serenely replied, 'Thank you, SER
geant" But the man still remained
Again interrupting his chief, he said,
But what are we to do with them,
sir?"
"Oh," replied Sir Hugh, with a soft
smile, hang them, Of course" And he
resumed his anecdote.
In little while Sir Hugh was again
interrupted in the middle of another
story by the sergeant, who came in and
said, please, sir, we've hung the lot,
SIR The general turned, bowed slight
ly and in the sweetest manner lisped,
Thanks, sergeant-very many thanks" /"
and then went on with his anecdote as
if nothing had happened.
This story came to the ears of Queen
Victoria, and she was so angry that it
nearly cost Sir Hugh his peerage.

"JUST MAKING BELIEVE."
One Way to Make This Dull Old
World Seem Brighter.

"OTAO seem brighter.
There is many failure ON the part

mental processes of their imaginative
superiors-the children. Some clumsy
person calls the most charming device
of fancy another of those naughty
fibs." By that condemnation he sets
tween himself and the childish dreamer
Not long ago grown up was accost-
ed on the street by dainty maiden of
four. who nodded bright good morn
ing and then said, Isn't there going to
be a wedding down there?" pointing
across the square.
81 think not" said the obtuse adult.
Il haven't heard of any wedding"
"Are you sure? 1 think there's going
to be one" persisted the little maiden.
81 don't see any flowers or carriages,
and l guess you are mistaken" replied
the champion of dull fact.
Then the tiny pleader drew nearer,
and with an entreating touch of her
hand and a voice lowered out of hear
ing of the fairies she breathed:
please say there's going to be we'd
ding. I'm just making believe"
Could the power of Imagination go
further? Could there be simpler de
vice for turning this dull world into
garden of flowers and sweet music
than this same gentle making be-
lieve?"
Imagination often proves to be the
door that opens into high philosophy
of life. we all remember Dickens

taste orange peel and water| she de-
manded of the gay Dick Swiveller. He
replied that he never had tasted that

if you don't, you know, it seems as if it
would bear little more seasoning GER

Our pebt to Our Mothers.

Ian Maclaren in The Christian En-

tiful tribute to mothers:
''The person to whom you owe more
than you can ever pay or even imagine
is your mother. She endured more for
you, served you more patiently, loved
you more fondly, thought of you more
bravely, than any other person you
have known on earth or will ever know
save your wife or your husband, If in
deed they can always be excepted. If
your mother be spared to you, then are
you bound to make her first charge
on your life. as you desire peaceful
conscience and as you shall answer be-
fore the judgment seat of God. She
must be encompassed with every OBJ
servance of comfort and honor and
gentleness and love, with sacrifices
also, If so be it will please her, Of
tastes and occupations and. time and
even friendship, and after you have
done all that you can think of and any
one can suggest you will still remain a
hopeless bankrupt for the love where
with she loved you"
