Ethics OF New Years Kisses.
Each friend, as he raises his glass, says
hastily, Happy New Year." and then peers
around, blushing lest he find It fame,
Same to you,' say the ladies', and the file
prepares to side out. AS they emerge
their giggle chime with the giggle of the
women. Later in the day, the friends be-
gin to bestow more %eloquence on their
hostesses and soft scufles are frequent,
as each friend attempts to exploit his
prerogative Of kissing them. The women
submit with soft patience. But II q man
should dream that their kindness Is an
invitation to take liberties, he will find
himself undeeeived quickly and Impress
lively. The girls draw the line just as
sharply as 1t is drawn in Fifth avenue.
The difference is only a difference in man
ner, not morals.

two years in the conference meetings, but

cradle notice and may make an interesting

cleared six feet. The university has as yet.
found no aspirants to the discus-throw and
broad-jump honors. Nufer, the hurdler,
and one Of the teams best point winners,
has been retired by the four-year rule.
Interest in all branches OF athletics is
unusually great at Wisconsin university
this year, and forms Of sport heretofore
disregarded-hockey. curling and water
polo-have been taken up with interest
and clubs formed to play through the sea-
son and matches with other teams ar
ranged. Hand ball is reported TO be the
most popular sport Of the season and the
courts In the university gymnasium are
crowded. A tournament has been ar
ranged for the post hristmas days. Bas-
ket ball is fast coming to the front as a
university sport. At Wisconsin fully
thirty men had been trying for the team
and the prospect for a successful and vic
torious season is good. The first game,
that against Sheboygan on Thanksgiving
day, was easily won, and the team has i'm
proved greatly since that time.
The Impulse towsrd winter sports has
been felt by the women as much as the
men, and they have organized an athletic
association which controls the teams in
the same manner that varsity aggrega-
lions are ruled. Formerly the only games
played by the goods we're tennis and bas-
ket ball, but now many other branches are
to be entered.

Johnny Gonding has got along as far as
Kansas City on his way back from the coast,
and has been visiting there for several daye.
He is expected soon in Omaha, to resume
his sway as king Of all the boys In Douglas
county. It is doubtful II a ball player ever
had the hold on. popularity that Gonding
has in Omaha, and especially with the kids.
When It was reported that he was coming
back the boys began to call at Rourke's
headquarters to know II their hero had
returned. His place is secure In Omaha,
at least. Gonding has we'll earned his pop
ularity, for a harder working ball player

Il seems a cinch that the Western league

OF course. the outcome in st. Paul depends

has secured new grounds. right in the heart
Of the village, where everybody can get In

above the surrounding country, and thus

around in the q%uagmires and morasses OF

Down at St. Joseph the fans are beginning

Carriage Calls.

Often the friends combine their means
to hire a cab for the purpose of making
calls in style. The hostesses like 1t, for
the settlers OF tables keep minute and
Jealous count Of the number of carriage
callers that they and their rivals In the
street receive on New Years day.
The cab hired for the occasion has q
capacity limited only by the number of
those who can get in and on 1t. Often
the cabman is a friend himself and helps to
make the calls. This makes the course Of
the vehicle pleasantly ePratic toward the
end Of the day and occasionally it is left
to shift for itself after the various friends
have become oblivious.
The real genuine caller expects to make
at least 100 calls and do his duty at each,
and still manage to find his way HON
at night without the help Of the police.
He performs his calls as a sacred obliga-
ton long after they have ceased to become
a keen pleasure. He is impelled by two
influences. One is that his lady friends
expect him to call. for a girls social
standing is measured by the number Of
their callers, and the other reason is that
the men keep count of the. number OF calls
that they make just as they would keep
track of any, other sporting event.
The caller Of the far west and east
sides has a mighty stomach and a steady
hand. The most drunken objects TO be
seen on New Years day in this territory
are the very young persons who transpar-
emily pretend to be much more drunk than
they are, in order to impress the ladies
with their noble wickedness..

More attractive TO the caller than the
glass plates full Of cakes are the glass
things that are not plates. The lady who
sets the table" has no narrow, puritani-
cal notions about drink. She exhibits gem
erous art in wines on New Years day.
Aroma and brand do not bother her. The
main point with her is to achieve variety
and quantity. The callers Judge quality
solely by the quantity.
A truly magnificent table provides every
thing that is liquid, even lemonade. The
liquors range from whisky and brandy
through the finer tones OF burned sherry
and port and Rhine wines down to black
berry brandy. Among the callers there is
always some sport who has acquired the
distinction Of having a fad for blackberry
brandy. He IL esteemed by his companions
accordingly, until the O%versupply brings its
inevitable consequences.
A tall, thin bottle OF Maderia is another
steady contributor TO the gaiety OF the &C.

BASE BALL IN WINTER TIME
Prospect of Peace the Most Interest,"
ing Thing Befor the
MaRnatea.
Wait a little.

Wait a little.
Next week will witness the most mo-
mentous conference OF modern times, when
the committees Of the two big leagues
get together and light the peace pipe.
Several little matters will have to be more
accurately adjusted than they are before
the fragrant odor Of the killikinick will
ascend over the council, but these may be
attended to with little friction. One Of
these concerns the status Of the several
players who jumped from the one league
to the other. 1t has been proposd that
each league retain it's own players, that is,
the players IL has under contract at the
present time. This is agreeable to all the
magnates but Colonel John 1. Rogers, who
seems to be implacable. He has about re-
signed himself to the loss Of Lajoie, Bern
hardt and Frazer, but comes merrily for
ward with a claim for big Ed DelehAnty,
and declines to be a party to any agreement
which does not give him the services Of the
big senator. And, furthermore, Mr.. Rog-
ers says that Philadelphia needs ''competi-
tion" This latter proposition may be the
correct one, but Philadelphia people las
summer seemed to think that John I. Rog-
ers was not the man to furnish the com
petition. At any rate the attendance at the
parks on days when both teams we're at
home didn't indicate II. Then, too, AL
Reach didn't endorse the course Of his
partner in base ball by a good deal. When
Rogers let Lajoie, Frazer and Bernhard
get away from Philadelphia after winning
a lawsuit. just because he wouldn't pay
the money for them. he not only ruined
PhilAdelphia's chances, but he made Cleve-
land. Connie Mack was cunning enough
to secure Rube Waddell for the Athletics,
and the deed was did. Some base ball men
are inclined to think that the chatter Of
Colonel Rogers Just at present arises from
the fact that he has sold out, or is willing
to sell out. II he isn't ready to quit the
game, he is talking like a sausage, for the
peace movement has set in for good this
time.

AS a matter of fact the American league
has whipped the National at every turn in
the road, and is in a better position before
the public today than II ever was. Ban
johnson is sure of his entry to New York,
whether he can secure a park from the
National or not. In all the other invaded
towns the American is firmly intrenched
and in Boston and Philadelphia at least
It commands. At Chicago the break is
about even. That It will prove popular in
New York is generally admitted. So the
rest of It is merely a matter Of detail. All
this is we'll understood by the men who
are to carry on the peace negotiations and
will be given due weight by them in their
deliberations. 1t has been suggested by a
base ball man who knows the situation
very thoroughly that q good basis for set
Element will be found in a division Of ter
ritory that contemplates the Withdraw wal
of the competing teams from st. Louis and
Boston and the addition OF Louisville and
Baltimore to the circuits. He would make
up the National circuit out OF New York,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Baltime in the
east. Chicago, Pittsburg. Cincinnati and
st. Louis In the west and the American
league to have Boston, New York, Phila-
delphia and Washington in the east, with
Chicago, Detroit. Cleveland and Louisville
In the west. This gives two good circuits,
with competing clubs in only three towns,
and those three plenty big enough to sup
port two good clubs each. Agreement as
to dates would make the support certain
and the game would be put on a solid basis
so far as the big leagues are concerned.
Neither side would lose by relinquishing
the positions in Boston and st. Louis, as
suggested. and both would gain by the ad-

consider a glass Of It critically. He is not
looking so much for bouquet as for a gen
teel su~ficiency. Besides that, he has prob
ably swallowed a drink Of whisky at the
previous house, so he is not attuned to the
more delicate harmonies of wine bibbllng.
The ladies who set the table are hos
pitable, but not reckless. They give the
caller his drink cheerfully, for to get a
drink at each house is mans privilege.
But they do not hesitate to ask him IL he
expects to take a bath in it, should he
betray a strong inclination to come again
too soon.
The caller, who is known in the neigh
borhood where he performs the rite, must
be more careful than the stranger. The
latter can overstep the bounds Of prudence
and suffer nothing worse than a few verbal
punishments and a few physical ones later
in the evening. But the man who is
known is criticized keenly, and If he low
ers himself by drinking too much at any
one place or eating a group Of hostesses
out Of house and home, he will awake next
day to find himself a social outcast. One
Of the ladies will, no doubt, explain to him
that he acted as IL he had been "brung

Receiving the Callers.
The ladies themselves have delicate and
sharply defined social standards to meas
ure one another. Generally, three or four
combine to "set a table" They select the
home Of the lady who has the biggest
rooms and whose family combines the two
essentials of presentability and amiability.
The lady whose father or, big brothers have
human weaknesses which might lead them
to do things to the bottle decorations, and
the lady whose mother imagines that she

fuses to put on a clean gown, do not aspire
to entertain in their own homes.
Having combined, they subscribe equally
to purchase the cakes and the liquors,
buying generally on the principle that
actuated the farmer who laid in his months
provisions by buying three gallons of apple
jack and one loaf Of bread. Early on the
morning Of the first Of January they range
themselves behind the table. They have
not long to wait. Many Of their callers
are accustomed to rise early. Many others
do not happen to have been asleep at all
and find 1t not only easy but delightful to
be on the spot.
The first callers are received ormally.
The men enter in single file. pushing be-
fore them the boldest, who hides his con-

mills of this class in Nevada have q
capacity of about 1885 bushels per day,

runs Of stones. In this line the offal
produced was 2,455, ,9O6 pounds, having
value Of SIT SIG.
The average price for creamery roll
butter was 1913 cents, q price for the
producer of q couple of cents more than
the eastern producer obtained.
This product for 1900 in Nevada was
valued at s14S,3 ,311.

the State leads others.
The 1904 manageable young ladies
of Nevada are confronted by the fact
that there are 1914 manageable
young men. AS they would have TO
marry two each to supply the demand,
the young men must be excused of
occasionally selecting wives from other
States. There are 1445 widows in the
State, but there are twice the number
Of widowers; 3102 men.
1t is a sad commentary on the men of
Nevada that this State has the highest
percentage of unmarried population OF
any State in the Union. and is only ex-
ceeded in percentage of widows by
Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont.
Nevada's percentage of divorced peo-
