AN ACCOMPLISHED BANTAM.
Kansns Girl Has = Lftt1e Rooster
That Boxes or Crows at Hers: . si
# Comm nd. 4 =5s22$# ssst

Y Punch" is an intelligent, belligerent
and noisy bantam rooster, and he be-
longs to Mildred Bro or :, an Armour
dale (Kan.) girl: She has raised
punch" from the time he was a fluffy
chicken which could sleep in a teacup,
until now, full grown, he would have
difficulty in roosting in quart meas
ure. Mildred has devoted some at
tention to the education Of 2"Punch,'
and she is as fond of him as he is of
study" the little brown hen which
was given him for company few
months ago. '''Punch's" special accom-
plishments show. great intelligence
and careful training; says the Kansas
City Star.
"Punch, here Punch" Mildred calls,
and the bantam trots up to her from
a neighbours flower garden or from
behind the barn, followed by study"
He) flies up and alghts on Mildred's
outstretched hand at her commands.
"Now crow" she says, and away the
bantam goes, straining and twisting
his little body, splitting the air with
his diminutive Observation-Disclosures"
"Crow once MORE" and again he let's
out his voice, while Judy" looks up
admiringly.
"Now we'll have a boxing match, y
says Mildred, as she places punch" in
position at his corner of an impro-
vised ring. "Punch's" favorite an
tagonist is Mildred's grandfather, and
as Mr.. Enochs makes passes at the
little fellow he defends himself with
beak and claws, pecking at the veins
and cords of the hand, making passes,
feints, undercuts and hooks with his
feet. punch" never tires of this game,
and he plays it with the utmost good
nature.

MATINEE LUNCHEON BASKETS
with the Candy-Eat1ng Habit
in Theaters.

The matinee girl and the matinee
woman are not supposed to be com
pletely equipped unless they carry
into the theater a box of :candy.
But all that's likely to be changed
now, says Chicago exchange.
Instead of chocolate creams and
carame1s the matinee girl who knows
what is right is carrying nowadays
a matinee lunch basket The bas-
kets, to be in accord with the pre-
scribed style, ought to be pretty lit
tie affairs.
Some of them are made of delicate
sweet grass; others of fine roots or
birch bark or closely woven Irvine.
Inside they are lined with waxed pa
per.
The contents may be almost any
thing that suits the matinee girls
tooth and taste-little finger sand
wiches, waters, sweet cakes, stuffed
prunes, sailed nuts, and so on. In
stead Of finger bowl the basket
contains a moist little sponge. Jap
anese paper napkins complete the
outfit.
For the drinkables the matinee girl
will have to depend on the theater's
water carriers, until some ingenious
person invents theater eanteen
that isn't in the way.

SECONDHAND PLAYING CARDS
Queer business of Which IN Elderly
New York Nan Has the
Monopoly.

There is an elderly man residing on
First avenue, New York, who has been
earning living for many years by buy
ing and selling secondhand PLAYING
cards, says the Sun. He pays from
one cent to four cents a pack for
double pinocle decks and an average
of two cents pack for regular decks
of 50 cards.
After buying the cards he takes
them to his home where his wife
cleans and scours them and puts them
in the sun to dry. When they are dry
he takes them around to the saloons
on the East side and disposes of them
at prices ranging from four cents to
nine cents pack.
In this way he earns from a dollar
and a half to three dollars day. He
boo monopoly of the business in New
York.
. Very frequently he gets hold of
cards in good condition which have
been discarded by poker players who
change packs for luck. These cards,
of course, bring higher prices than the
old greasy ones of his regular trade.

'"Talkin' about rattlesnakes," said
an Erie railroad brakeman, according
to the New York Sun, Ibid you ever
hear how the mosquitoes saved a
mans life up near Gulf Summit, in
PENNSYLVANIA, last. summer?
"Well, while getting out railroad
ties over back OF Summit, Abe More
house was bitten in the leg by rat
tlesnake. A doctor was at once sent
for and the leg was bandaged tightly
above the wound. 1t was expected
that Morehouse would die before the
doctor could come up there on his
wheel, but he didn't. Just as soon
as the leg was barred to put on the
bandage, it was attacked by swarm
of mosquitoes, and when the doctor
arrived he found the man as well as
ever and lively as a cricket, but the
ground was covered with dead and
dying mosquitoes. They had sucked
the poison from Warehouses; wound
and saved his life. This was hard on
the mosquitoes, but I presume More
hous e's life was worth saving"

Rats That Climb Trees.

The people of Jamaica have been
making crusade against the rat,
and it was thought that the move
ment had been entirely successful,
but it is now found that the rats
have not, as was supposed, been ex-
terminated but have outwitted their
prosecutors by complete and inter-
esting change in their manner of
life. They have taken, in fact, to
tree-climbing, passing the day in
treetops, chiefly among the wild
pines, then coming forth and feeding
undisturbed, at night, when their
enemy, the imported mongoose, is
asleep in the thickets. s.... ~. .sA

appointed county physician arrived on
the Bradshaw Thursday evening and
expects to remain here permanently.
DR.. Houston is graduate of the medical
department of the State University and
has been resident physician of Asbury
hospital in Minneapolis for two years,
so that he is strictly up to date in his
profession. The county commissioners
figured the cost of the treating the poor
in the county at $500 per annum, which
is probably a low figure but will be the
cost for the first year.
DR.. Houston is the first regular pract-
Using physician to locate IN this county.
The sick have been taken we'll care of by
DR.. MAYHEM and DIR. Jones, who have
devoted consid cradle time to the work,
and both of them will feel relieved to
have some one take the load off their
shoulders.
The HERALD joins with the entire
community in welcoming DR.. Houston
and in wishing him success here.

ANSWER TO robson.
SpaIdinE Says He Received Only
$1,000 from League for Balls.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA G.. Spalding
wrote TO Frank De Haas Robson, of the
St. Louis club. to-day i'm answer to Robi-
sons letter to him Mr.. Spalding jokes his
correspondent upon taking up issues which
occurred in the last century. and says that
his statements are untrue in the main,
while the deductions are rather far-fetched.
He further says:
Your insinuation that the motives that
prompted me in my efforts in behalf of
clean baseball and the necessary rehabili-
tation of the national game are Influenced
by any commercial reason is too ridiculous
to consider seriously, and il would seem
that a simple statement from me, verined
by the books of the National League. that
the cash purchases of baseballs by the Ma
tional League during the year 1901 amount
TO the exact sum of $1,000, renders II so in
significant that further comment would
seem unnecessary.
Mr.. Spaldng then writes that. as the
public is growing weary of the controversy.
he will decline to answer any more letters
from the Freedman faction, except that of
John T. Brush, dated Jan. s. In concluding
he says:
II consider my correspondence with the
Boston triumvirate as entirely closed and
you may consider this letter as my last one

"TOWN" AND "DORM, TEAMS.
Butler Girls Have Organized Two
Basketball Elves.

The Butler girls have now fully organ
lied their basketball squads and are prac-
ticing hard preparatory TO an opening
game that will be played the latter part of
this week. The girls practice an hour
every morning and have already begun to
show a marked improvement. The teams
will be almost entirely new, several of
last years players refusing to go into
the game this season on account of heavy
studies. Both of last. years captains will
be out of the game. However, there is no
lack of material, and Coach Kelly says the
teams will be as good as last year. Many
of the girls are new at Butler. but they
where. The first game between the two
teams is invitational, only friends of the
girls and the faculty being invited. Ii
always arouses great interest among the
girls, who sympathize with the respective
sides and prepare songs and yells for the
occasion. An effort is being made TO play
games with the girls teams at Earlham
and Indiana, and these games will probably
be arranged. In this case team repre-
sentative of the whole college will be
chosen from the two teams.
The positions on the two teams have not
yet been decided on. They will be filled
a few days before the first game. Mary
Smith is captain of the Town team. She
plays center this being her second year.
Campbell, who plays guard. This is her
first year at Butler, but she played before
on the Anderson High School team.
Candidates for the Town team are Mary
Baldwin. who played guard on the team
last year; Nellie Senour and Joy Vance.
both of whom played last year. but were
not on the team Miss Vance plays guard
and Miss Senour forward; Essie Hunter.
who played forward on last years team
and was considered the best in school.
and Kelsy Black, who is also playing for
ward.
The candidates for the Dorm team are
Edith Abbott, Blanche Boston and Kath-
crime Griffin, all new at the game. Nina
Ely and Lulu Kellar are playing forward,
both having been on the team last year.
Mary Wicker is trying for guard. She
was sub on the Town team last year.
Donna Coyner, who was captain of the
Dorm team two years ago, is In school
this year and will try for forward again.
Johnny Carpenter. one of the best guards
in college. has not reported for practice,
but is expected to play later in the sea
son. The two teams lined up against each
other for the first time Friday at practice.
When time was called the Town team
was one point ahead. Last year the girls
wore sweaters of their colors. AS yet this
year the teams have not chosen their

ROUGHNEsS TO DEFEAT S. III. S.
Game Was Exciting and ShOrtridge
Played Observation-Disclosures Out
cIassed by VI. II. III. $.
Y. NJ. C. A, 80; Shortridge, "a.
NJ. Il. II. s., %; Butler, IL.

The games in the Indianapolis Basket
ball League last night were notable for
two things-M. T. II. S. won its first con-
test of the season, defeating Butler, and
Y NJ. c. A was given the hardest argu-
ment it has experienced this year from the
Shortridge team. Butler was outclassed by
Training School. and the latter played all
around the coIlegians. But Y. NJ. c. A.
was given such a fierce struggle in the
second half that the wearers of the black
and yellow were forced to resort to bruis-
ing tactics to get the best of the young
high-school players. The score shows
big margin, but Y. NJ G. A. added twelve
points during the last few minutes of
play. Up until that time it was nip and
tuck in the second half, first one team
and then the other having slight ad-
vantage in the score.
When Shortridge tied the score in the
second half the Y. NJ. c. A. players ex-
hibited a very bad temper, Hester ana
Fleming growing noticeably angry. The
crowd took it a joke at first, but when
the big. husky team persisted in bruising
and rough playing it was roundly Kissed.
Fleming threw the ball at Masters, Hes
ter jerked La Toilette over the floor, and
McGaughey choked Holdson, accidentally,
of course. Randall was pushed against the
wall a few times, and Hersch was made
the mark for all other abuse But the
Shortridge boys kept right along play
ing, although the odds were against them
after Y. NJ G. A. began depending more up
on its strength than on clever team work.
The game, however, will have its good
results, as it was exceedingly good prac-
tice for both fiVes.
Shortridge did not do much in the scoring
business in the first half, but prevented Y.
NJ. G. A from making wholesale goals from
field. At the end of the first half the
score stood IA to 10 in favor of Shortrdge.
the High School boys having gone through
the half without adding to their handicap.
Holdens pretty goal from field started the
scoring in the second half, and gave en-
enlargement TO the High School lads.
Later, when Masters threw a field goal,
the Y. NJ. G. a. team went UP in the air,
and for moment or two played very rough
ball The work of both teams was exceed
ingly fast, Shortrdge displaying some bril-
liant team work. Holdson tossed a goal
from foul and tied the score. Fleming
made goal from foul, but this was soon
followed by another goal from foul by
HOldson. The crowd cheered itself hoarse,
while the Y. NJ. c. A. played fast and soon
ran it's score out of reach of ShOrtridge.
The lineup follows:
