''The trouble with you fellows is

European collector wouldn't give
house room, and when you see a really
good thing you don't know it, or you
won't pay a price for it unless some
dealer makes you. You see, you don't
know; that's what's the matter; how
can you? Nobody in America wanted
antiques before the Centennial If

brass scale,' he resumed, pointing to a
fish stall in the little outdoor market

''There's a gem, not very old, but of
the finest seventeenth century Venetian
work. If you saw that in New York
dealers, all cleaned up, you'd give up
good deal for it; but you'd "a passed
it by a dozen times if 1 hadn't spoken
about it. See that old junk stand over
there! l never pass thing like that.
You can never tell what you may pick
up-if you only know"
We had scarcely reached the stand

on its prey. and swooped upon little
jewel box.
"Carnelian! Russian, 1 should say,
from the Ural mountains. It's not Of
great value, but it's a pretty little
thing, if it was cleaned up. It's mine,
anyway" To the keeper of the stall:
"Quanto?'
The Venetian slowly uncoiled him

steps, where he had been sleeping.
"Does the signore want the pretty
tride? The signore knows it's value

a miser's clutch.

! He reluctantly handed it to me as
though fearing l might make a sud-

"Phew!'' said contemptuously,
handing the box back to him. "It's not

Basket Ball.

The basket ball games at the gym

large audience and those who ex-
pected to see the most interesting
games of the season were not disap-
pointed.
The young ladies teams we're cap
tanned by Miss Blanche Peck and
Mrs. Edwin Booth. These teams
played three 1O-minute innings. 1t
was an interesting exhibition of the
game as it should be played. The
game was lively contested and the
many skillful plays elected much ap-
plause from the enthusiastic crowd.
While each player deserves special
mention, the star play of the evening
and perhaps of the season was the
basket thrown from center by Miss
Katherine Boynton. There is talk of
a matched game between the young
ladies of the local gym" and a team
of Hyde Park young ladies in the
near future. 1t is hoped that a game
will be arranged. The line up of the
ladies teams was as follows:
PPck Capt. q ,. Booth
Slocum Trick
Boynton Rublee
Dodge Fisk
M. Booth Butler
Wiley Mars
The game resulted in a score of %
to Is in favor of Mrs. Booths team
To avoid long waits between the
innings the gentlemen of the gymna-
STUN gave an exhibition game of two
minutes halves. This was one of
the fastest games of the season and
many fine plays were made on both
sides. The final score was 33 to II
in favor OF Sargent's side. Follow
