Every man In the room gave him
hearty grip; then talk began to buzz
about Saturdays game. All agreed the
new pitcher had best be kept dark; also
that HARDWOOD should wear baseball
suit. 81 have my own with me. A CO
on the shirt will make it all right"
HARDWOOD said. And So the little COM
pany went away, eNultant beyond
words.
Saturday was fair and hot-the very
weather for great ball. But. hot as the
sun shone, 1t was mild compared to the
baseball enthusiasm of Gallia City.
Posters all about announced the COM
Ing contest. The local press under the
biggest, blacklist headlines possible to
Its fonts limited darkly at "phenome-
non" in the pitchers box for the home
team. Placards also warned citizens to
do their Saturday buying betimes, as
every shop would be shut during the
hours of the game. The little city bub-
bled and seethed. Local patriotism had
risen to a passion and swept through
1t in tidal wave

"Lemnle beg D0ur pardon, brother Hur
1cO0d," tdltered the 7'iUer man.
yenson he had found a fine fellow, nj
though everybody but his own family
did call him Pot. Pot, on his part, had
at first been doubtful of the young
preacher just out Of seminary, but aft
err little had said of him to friend:
"Our parson is all right from the
ground up, not one of those white chok
cred fellows who go around with
faces as long as a snail track, as II
they had given up the world, the flesh
and the devil and were almighty sorry
they had to. HARDWOOD is none of that
sort. He's a man first and minister
afterward."
AS HARDWOOD stepped inside the mu.
sic store strong voice called across
the street:
Hey, there, Pot!'
Coming, colonel" Potter answered,
picking his way across the newly
sprinkled street to big crockery store
opposite. A muscular young fellow
leaned against the doorjamb.
Here's the devil to pay and no pitch
hot, and mighty far to water" he said.
"Centerport has challenged us to play
EN- Saturday, and Tom Jordan is Off
on big, big bat You know, there
amt another man in the whole darn
town that can pitch a ball within four
feet of the plate. Centerport knows it
too-thats just why they've run this
challenge on U.S."
Round up Tom. He can get in
shape" Potter said confidently.
Colonel snorted: Round nothin'!
Toms a holy terror when he's on a
spree-besides, he's gone. Maybe the
Lord knows where he, isl don't, for
sure. It's the very cussedest luck-Td

and we've got to play 'em. If we re-
fuse they'll crow over 1t forever and

JOHN MoRIARTY ON LIGHT :

JOHN MORIARTY ON LlGa1.
 There is no word in the English lan- guage which appeals with such charm to the hearts and the minds of men as that little word of five letters light Light and love walk hand in hand. There is no name which appeals to the heart of the fond parent to call his first born as the name of John. be- cause it was St John who first gave testimony of the light. Hence, almost every family has it's John. It is there fore eminently proper that 1t would be John who should bring the light into Waterbury, and that John Moriarty has done with woiderful success.
 Dr Joseph B. DeLeary, the worlds greatest living authority on light, after eight long years of scientific re search, has invented an incandescant gas lamp which is placed on the mar ket by the Multiplex Lamp company of 1,14f Broadway. New York. with branches in London, Paris, Berlin. etc. We have no desire to make extrayagant contradiction that no storekeeper. fac hour without this light.
 EFerypouy can now use gas, as We can save you 75 per cent on your bill You arc safe in purchasing dry goods carpets or anything else at night, as il does not change the colors
 So much can be said in favor of this light that space here will not permit it and we cordially invite the public tc call and see lls.

which would not in any way interfere with
the general appearance Of the building moi
with the harmony OF the general plan fol

In the senate, but there is little confidence
in its adoption by this congress. owing to
the opposition of Mr.. Hoar and others, con-
spicuous on the republican side, who have
given 1t out that they will prevent a vote
by Iong-drawn-out speeches In and OFT of

become necessary.
Moody VIII BE Missed.
In the retirement from congress of Rep
resentative Moody. OF Massachusetts, whom
President Roosevelt has selected to sue
coed Mr.. Long as secretary Of the navy,
the republican side will lose one OF Its
ablest debaters. Mr.. Moody is a statesman
OF the independent type b follows his
party when he thinks II Is right and who
refuses to follow it when he thinks 1t is
wrong. His course has evidently been In
dorsed by the people of his district as he
has been returned to congress practically
without opposition and had he been q can
didate would have been reelected to the
next congress. He Is the third cabinet
officer that district has furnished. The
others were Timothy Pickering. who was
secretary OF state In washington's cabinet.
and Caleb CUSHING.

has the support OF the senator aud other
leading republican politicians his chances
are said to be better than those OF another
candidate.
With the appointment of Mr.. Moody the
president will also fill the position of cab
met orator which has been vacant since
Charles Emory Smith left the postof1ce de-
partment. Mr.. Smith did most Of the pub
lie speaking for the Mckinley administra-
| tion and usually represented the cabinet
on occasions when It was called upon tc
supply an orator. As Secretary Hay rarely
makes a speech and other members Of the
cabinet do not make q p~ractive Of appear
ing as orators, Mr.. Moody will be expected
to AXE the place Of Mr.. Smith and bC
ready at any time to take the platform
as representative Of the president. This
he can do as well as I'M other man Mr.
Roosevelt could have chosen. He Is grace
full in his oratory and has 81 attractive
presence and q good voice for public speak
ing. He is one Of the comparatively young
men who have been called to a cabinet po-
sition as he is but thirty-nine years old.

ItIes VIII Begin This

This week the Board Of Governors OF the
knights of Ak-Sar-Ben will begin work for
the fall parade. Treasurer Penfold has In
course Of preparation a request to the peo-
pie who have in the past so literally sup
ported the parade fund. The scope OF the
parade will be given In outline and the citi-
gems will be asked to again come to the aid
Of the festival society.
II is understood generally that the board
will request subscriptions somewhat larger
than those made last year, as IL Is the hope
OF the board to make each feature stand
upon its own financial footing. For two
years the cost Of the parade has been paid
partially from other receipts. and the board
hopes this year to pay all expenses Of the
parade from the contributions to the parade
fund.

citations at the den held a consultation re-

birds and animals OF that far-off region,
and while no disposition is manifested to
deprive travellers, miners and prospectors
Of the right to kill for food It is proposed
to punish severely persons who kill simply
for sport. 1t would seem at FIRST glance
that the chances for the enforcement of
a game law In 3 country so shortly settled
as Alaska would be impossible. But the
committee has provided an effective plan
for reducing the desire to kill game, not
needed for food, to the minimum. II is by
absolutely prohibiting the export of car
oasses, skins. or hides OF animals and birds
from the territory. Unless the privileges
OF shipping home the results of a hunt Is
Afforded the sportsman. he will have no
incentive to demonstrate his prowess. At
present there is no game law for Alaska
and unless congress acts promptly the
game birds and animals which abound IN
the territory are likely to be soon ex-
terminated.
