DARRoUGH LEADS
The Field by Lengths in the
Marshalship Race, While Mel
lette and Huckleberry are
Running Fast for the
Attorneyship.

The interest of the territory poll
iticians is centered on the race be.
ing made by Mellette and Huckle.
berry for the United States attorn-
eyship in the Western district.
1t is generally conceded that if
a territory man is named for the
marshal's office in the Northern
district, w. III. Darrough will be
the man.
Guy r. Cobb is the only other
candidate who shows any strength
and he is lengths behind Darrough
who is expected to be returned an
easy winner.
The fight Of the attorneyship in
the Western district, where
Huckleberry has developed con-
siderable strength, carries an ele.
ment of uncertainty which makes
it interesting.
There is an unknown equation
in the problem, in the person Of
Judge Charles Raymond. There
is not a politician in the territory
at present, who has not entered
the guessing contest as to the ex-
tent of Raymond's Influence.
Raymond is backing Huckle.
berry and the political form art
lists are at sea as to what. influence
he can bring to bear.
Both candidates have enlisted q
strong outside influence, and a
merry fight is anticipated.
Mellette, in connection with the
endorsement of number Of the
enevitable senator's, ct al, claims
the endorsement of sufficient
majority of the territory re-
publicans to entitle him to the
place.
In conformity with the Home
Rule" issue, the several candi-
dates are laying particular stress
on their home endorsements.
Both candidates are confident,
and "even money" is quoted on
the books of the wise ones as
forecast OF their chances.

GAMES OF sAvAGEs.

The little savages of years gone by
were much more fond of and devoted
to games and sports than we are now
adays. Perhaps that was because they
hadn't so much to do as the people
of modern times The rougher the
game was the more they liked it.
The ancient Australians most popu-
lar sport was a wild game called
"Marn Crook" 1t was very much like
football, only, if possible, rougher.
They had a ball made of skins; there
were no goals, and the object Of the
game was for each side to keep the
ball in it's possession, and this often
resulted in a small battle, for as many
as liked could play, an even number
being on each side.
Then these same people used
curious little toy called a "weet," and
throwing the wee weet" was one of
their favorite pastimes. This resem-
bles our putting the shot" only the
weet was small and light, and could
be thrown to an incredible distance.
The inhabitants of ronga-also saw
ages-had a game which the boys and
girls of Scotland play today. One
person would hold some small article
behind his back, and another would
try to guess which hand it was in.
The Scotch have written this verse to
it:
Nievie, Nievie, Nick Mack,
Which hand will We TAX?
BE ye RIGHT or be We wrang
I'll beguile ye if / can.
If the person were clever enough
to change the article from hand to
hand he kept it, but if his opponent
guessed rightly it was forfeited.-New
York Tribune.

Threw the tooth there in the fire.

Crooked teeth agrowing.
Hurt a lot to give the yank.

Shut my eyes, then gave jerk
After that, some crying.

Looked so like another,
Said: Hello, you funny kid!

WHEN THE CAP FITTED.

Duke looked up from the bone, and
glared at his little mistress and her

in his throat.
Ruth caught Marian by the arm.
