was entirely unexpected.

Telegram From Brush.
Brush's telegram follows:
Il believe had you met Robson and
myself the evening of December IL, and
discussed our differences. all might have
been adjusted, and there might have been
no necessity for asking for impressions
now. Ny suggestion is that you retire
and allow the league to get together and
adjust its own affairs, or II you wish to
participate, then appear as a delegate
representing the Chicago Club.
~ T. BRUSH"
Answer of SpaIdinE.
Spalding's reply is as follows:
Your telegram would indicate that diff
ferences existed between us. / know of
no differences that exist, except the diff
ference of opinion as to the advisability
of turning the National League into a
trust corporation, all the constituent
clubs of which were to be owned by one
central stock company and governed by
a board of four regents
NO possible argument that you could
have advanced would have convinced me
that such a scheme was possible or ad
visable for the national game. AS | am
not of a retiring nature, and as it would
be hardly fair to my constituents, who
are responsible for my election, l do not
see how l can act upon or seriously con-
slider the last suggestion in your teie
gram.
Might Also Retire.
''Inasmuch as you have seen fit to offer
suggestions as to the course ! should pur-
sue, / wish you would be equally frank
with me and explain why it would not be
well for you to sell out your stock in
terest in the New York club, your AL
legged interest in the St. Louis club, and
your supposed controlling interest in the
Cincinnati club and retire from the game
yourself?'

SENATOR JAMES K. JONES, of Arkansas, chairman of the dem- ocratic national committee, will be selected as one of the seven commissioners who are to super intend the work of constructing the isthmian canal, if authorized by congress. Mr. Jones retires March 3, next. Mr. Jones voted for the Panama route and was therefore entirely friendly in his attitude toward those who advo- cated the Spooner substitute. It is calculated that it will require fifteen years time to complete the construction of the canal.

"FATTY" WARD has been wear ing a sadder look on his face for the past few days than has been seen there for many years. He has long boasted of being the largest man in Arkansas, but last Thursday Dan Murphy came down from Winslow, challenged him and walked off with the hon. ors by a score of five pounds, Ward tipping the scales at 338 and Murphy at 343. Our defeat ed champion can no doubt ex- plain his defeat by citing the public to that game of base ball he played short time ago, which no doubt reduced his flesh several pounds, and which he has not yet regained. Be that as it may, Dan Murphy is now the largest man, and says he intends to remain so.-Fayetteville Re- view.

THE newspaper man is blamed for a lot of things he cannot help, such as partiality in mentioning visitors, giving news about some folks and leaving others out, etc. He. simply prints the news he can find. Some people inform us of doings and others do not. An editor should not be expected to know the name and residence of all your uncles, aunts and cousins, even if he should see them get off and on the cars. Tell us about it. It's news that makes the paper, and every man, woman and child can be an associate editor i he will.-Orenogo News.

The people of Northwest Ar kansas are to be congratulated upon the fact that it is not nec- essary for them to visit summer resorts. The whole section is itself a summer resort. True, it gets warm here and if you are a hard worker, you'll sweat good and plenty, but you will find it that way everywhere. If one really feels that he needs a couple of weeks vacation, he can't find better place to spend it than right at home-especially if that home is in this section.- Rogers Democrat.

4 Close Call in

The series. OF papers which you have

under the head Of "Close, Calls have not
only been very interesting to the old SOL
der, who was an active participant in
those thrilling events, but they are in
structive to the younger generation, as
they help to make up a correct history OF
that eventful period and they act as a
stimulant and reminder to those who par
ticipated in that history-making period Of
1861 to 1866 and greatly refreshes the mem

such great danger as the sanguinary bat

days after this event. 1t was Christmas
week and we were having glorious time
for soldiers, plenty to eat and money in
abundance, as we had recently been paid
off: no duty to perform worth talking OF,
as we had rightly earned a greatly needed
rest, having first completed that long,
rather difficult, and laborious Kentucky

We were encamped in the beautiful

some fifteen miles east Of the town Of
Murfresboro. We had pitched our tents
on the edge Of a beautiful timbered piece
of land, a large open field. grown up in
sedge grass in our front, in which we had
our dress parades at the close of each
day. AS we had been encamped here for
several weeks we had made sad havoc
with the timber, and with few excep.

]N the heart of Wisconsin lies lake
Kegonsa, one of the flour Naiades''
of which the poet Longfellow. has
sung. A railroad skirts one end OF
the lake, and a little station has been
built to accommodate the people who oc-
cupy the scores of summer cottages or
stay at the hotel.
This little railway station is nothing
more than a platform, covered by a roof
that iuts out over a rough bench. All
trains stop here during the day, but at
night, unless tagged, they thunder
through, with only sharp whistle 20
mark their passing.
John Endevan was walking slowly TO-
ward this little station with Ruth Dan
vers 1t was. not the first evening the two
had chosen for their walk the path
through the woods and the final narrow
plank that led up to the bar gate. But II
was to be the last, for the man was to
take the 10 o'clock train back to Chicago,
back to woriz-away from the lake.
He had told the girl the day before that
he was going the next evening" and he had
watched her expression while ne was
speaking She had turned to him when he
had finished and had held out her hand
with genuine feeling
II am sorry you are going" she said
simply.
That was all. She had been sorry, Just
as any good friend of his might have
been. She had learned to value his friend
ship. he told himself. but he had not
taught her TO love him. Even now, had
she asked him TO do so, he would have
staid a few days more. But she had only
said, IT am sorry you are going"
They were walking along in silence now.
He was carrying an unhghted lantern
with which 10 signal the train. He wished
he dared say he had forgotten match,
or that the wind was too high to light the
lantern. Still, if she did not wish him
with her there would be no pleasure IN
staying.
They reached the gate and he slid 1t
back for her. She passed through and
waited for him till he had closed II. He
could see her face in the moonlight, with
the lake breeze tossing her hair chaotical-

face of an angel 81 ..- . -.
At the station he held his watch in the
moonlight to see the time. There were
only ten minutes left-ten more minutes
and he would be rushing away from her.
He turned toward her with a little ges-

said. It struck him as an idiotic thing TO
say.

The girl parted his question. Yes, I
am always sorry when it comes time for
me to leave the lake"
A low whistle came with the lake breeze.

come into sight far down the track.
