In less than half the time Jimmie
had allotted, the cookies and apples
disappeared, and the game was again
in progress. On the way out Miss
Hunt had said: "We'll let them eat all
they want, and then put the baskets
by the fence where they can help them
selves whenever they get hungry"
Mrs. Brown, who was the mother of
four healthy boys, said nothing to this,
but thought her friend would have her
eyes opened as to boys appetites be-
fore night.
"For PHYS sake" said Miss Hunt,
looking at the empty baskets. II

for YOU"
"Indeed you can," said Miss Julia fer
vently. ''It's only nine o'clock, but I
shall begin peeling potatoes at once.
No wonder Louise said over and over
again to prepare plenty of food.'"
II saw you going out with lunch
for the boys" said Mrs. Race, coming
to meet them with large basket. IL
suppose my three are out there, so It
is only fair that l should help. Do
you think they will like these?" and
she displayed lot of warm, sugary
crullers.
"Like them!" laughed Mrs. Brown.
''They ate every thing we had in five
minutes. Don't take these out now.
Wait till we have a chance to take
something. 1t is always well to have
reserve.
"Yes, indeed" said Miss Hunt. "If
you can come in and make up about
bushel of cookies, shall be indebted
to you forever, Mrs. Race. i thought
had enough dinner for twenty boys,
but am afraid not now"
All three women were SO busy pre-
pairing dinner that an hour slipped
past before anyone thought Of the
baseball players. Even then it is
doubtful II they would have been re-
membered II the whole troop had not
come to the houss ostensibly to get a
drink, but really to see II more cookies

to Miss Hunts big pasture field, and
said. "Hully geel Amt that bully
place for gamer"
Miss Hunt was shocked at the lam
guage, but hope rose in her heart. 1t
might be possible that the exquisite,
cloudless weather favored her after
all. She looked at the thin clothing
of her guests, and rejoiced that the
yellow almanac had truly predicted
"fair and warmer" for this New Years
day.
II say, missus, is they any boys
round here? Lame Jimmy, he can't play
an we'd like to strike some kids fer a
match game" said one of the boys
eagerly.
Certainly, there are boys in the
village. If you go out and start game,
l guess it won't be long till they will
all be with you," said Miss Hunt, who
had very little acquaintance with boys,
but had noticed thatthey were not long
in finding out if anything new was go
ing on.
Before the location of the bases had
been settled, three recruits joined the
ranks and were soon offering to hunt
up enough more for the match game.
Dear me, Mary" lamented Miss
Hunt, as new difficulty stared her
in the face, 81 was just going to run out
with the cookies and some apples for
the boys, but there are ten or twelve
extra ones playing with them. They
must be hungry after their long ride
this morning, but what can do?"
"Sure an I'd run to Mrs. Browns
and get the batch she made yesterday.
Her Mollie said their company couldn't
come to-day"
>"The very thing!'" And with load
off her mind Miss Julia fastened across
the street.
''Sell them! guess not. My Joe and
Ned are screaming out there as loud
as the rest. You may have them all,
and these pies, too, for Sister Jane
can't come to-day. I'll help you carry
them to the pasture field" said Mrs.
Brown.
"Ten minutes for refreshments"

mon consent been chosen umpire,

the afternoon, and they return on the
six o'clock train. Louise said all that
was necessary was to feed them well,
and would have no trouble"
Maybe it will snow yet" said Mary,
examining the little house out of which
an old man was said to appear in case
a storm was brewing. But the smil-
Ing little old lady was on guard, and
that is sure sign of fair weather.
"No such luck" exclaimed the mis-
tress. "The almanac says fair and
warmer for tomorrow. Do you
think you will have time to hunt up
the checker board and dominoes in the
attic, Mary?"
"Sure an I'll do that as soon as the
bird is stuffed"

"Four dozen, replied Mary prompt

That will be plenty for each to have
three or four for lunch. Louise laid
such stress on having plenty to eat
that am glad you baked too many
rather than not enough. You need
not make the tarts II we have mince
and pumpkin pie"

at the open door. just stopped TO

eleven bits of pasteboard for hand

grimly.

by Miss Julia and escorted home much

GOES TO SUPREME COURT.
Judge Griffin Says SeattIe's Vote on $1,000
License Is Of No Effect.

Seattle, May 2.-The 81 900 saloon Ii
cense received solar plexus blow in the
superior court yesterday when Judge
Griffin entered an order sustaining
demurrer to the city's complaint in the
test suit brought against j. B. Clark.
Clark is leading saloon man and is
backed by the Liquor Dealers Protective
Association. He refused to pay the adj
ditional 500 license voted by the people
last March. The city sued to collect.
Judge Griffin holds the money cannot be
collected. The decision is sweeping.
Judge Griffin holds that the general
state liquor laws give the mayor and
council sole power to regulate and license
the sale of intoxicants. This power, he
says, cannot be delegated. The council
in submitting the question to a popular
vote attempted to shift the responsible
ity. The court says the popular vote was
mere nullity. The power of the coun-
Gil to impose 81 900 license was not
questioned by the suit. But the people
have no such power.
Corporation Counsel Gillian tried the
case for the city. He contends that
subsequent act repeats the statute giving
the mayor and council sole power to reg
ulate the sale of liquors in incorporated
cities and vests it in the city itself. On
this ground he will appeal to the supreme
court.

BUYING NO BEEF
Chicago Commission Men Hurry
Instructions to Shippers to
Hold Cattle.

Chicago, May 3.-If the refusal of the
packers to buy live stock continues it
may create panic in prices. 1t is feared
the market may become glutted. Com.
mission houses are hurrying instructions
to farmers and shippers to hold back
their cattle.
By refusing to buy cattle the packers
also keep up the present high prices on
dressed meat, as the retail butchers, on
account of an arrangement with the
packers, are unable to take any indie
pendent action. The government attor-
neys yesterday denied the statements
issued Thursday evening that a bill
would be filed today. They do not ex-
pect to take action before next week. 1t
is not unlikely that President Roosevelt
will review the papers in the case before
they are filed.
Later-Prices on dressed meats slump
ed yesterday afternoon Beef fell one
fourth of cent and pork one-half cent
and mutton three fOurths of a cent. The
warm weather and very heavy receipts
of cattle are given as the cause. The
packers, however, steadily refuse to buy.
St. Louis, May. 3-Retail butchers OF
st. Louis will organize Immediately to
fight the beef trust, the methods of
which have caused the closing, of 100
meat shops in the city within the last
two weeks, following the abandonment
of meat diet by the patrons of the shops.

mary to the forming of protective
union of meat dealers. the closing of
these 100 shops, or one-twentieth OF the

STAMPEDE TO bunker.
Great Rush to Get Claims in the Cancelled Milne
Concession.

Vancouver, B. c., May IA special
from Dawson says: There is big stam-
pede here to secure ground on the
extensive concession on Hunker creek
formerly held by DR.. G. L. Milne and
cancelled because of his failure to fulfill
the requirements under which it was
granted. Hundreds of men are camping
on the ground, waiting until midnight,
when the concession will be thrown
open.
1t is the biggest stampede since
Dominion creek was staked in 1898.
Many OF the available claims on the
former Milne concession are valued at
from 1000 to $4,000. 1t is understood
that counsel have been instructed by DR..
Milne to enter action against the can
collation., which is held to be illegal. 1t
threatens to be one of the biggest legal
fights in the history of the Klondike.
The wash-up is we'll under way. The
results so far are very satisfactory. 1t
promises to be splendid season. The
output of gold will be large.
1t is expected that the river ice will
break up by May 10. The trail to White
Horse is about done, many miles of it
being open. tits said the channel through
Lake Labarge will be opened as soon as
the river breaks, when large quantity
of goods will be shipped through.
