HARLOW'S HIGH AVERAGE.
Institute Bowlers Won Two Games
From Y. M. C. A. in Good Style.

From Y. M. Z. A. IN Good Style.
What was probably the best lot of
bowling seen here this season was that
witnessed by a large crowd last night on
the Carroll Institute alleys, in which the
home team won two games from the
Young Mems Christian Association team
by big scores.
The finishes and totals throughout were
of the sensational order. Both fives were
keyed up to the highest pitch. and the loss
of such games is no discredit to any team.
The total strikes and spares for both
teams shows the class of bowling.
The CAROLS took the first game by 81
pins. The second furnished the most re-
markable run seen in the league this sea-
son, and it was bowled by the Youn1
Mems Christian Association. The first
man started right, and the rest kept with
him, and so thirty-two frames were
bowled without a break, and included five
doubles and several triples, and then the
boys went TO pieces after Webb missed
single pin spare. The score was then 700
odd in the sixth box some 1876 pins ahead
of the CAROLS, who pitched in and ran
up their string and finished only 80 pins
TO the bad.
The home team would undoubtedly have
rolled 1000 game in the third, but bad
splits crept in when they were going best.
and 962 was the best they could do. In
this game Harlow rolled 220 as best high
game, with Rice's 20s as next best and an
average of 100 1-3 on the evening.
Harlow was in especially good form last
night for in addition to high game. he
ran up an average of 203 1-3. and picked
these difficult spares: 49,, 5-6-1o. and
$40, and on the evenings work jumped to
third place in the league averages, with
1897. Rice now is at the top, with 1926
average, and Rodrick second, with 1916

FREEDMIN'S THREAT TO
BLOCK TRUCE SCHEME
Will Have President Chosen
or Close Polo Grounds.
Assertion Made That Such Action WouId
Be Followed by Expulsion of New
York From League.

NEW YORK. March 14.-When the Ma
tional League magnates get together on
or about March "a they may have their
plans for a temporary truce quite effec-
lively shattered. AS already stated, it
is the intention of the four clubs loyal
to A. G. Spalding to enter the coming
meeting with their leader still a candi-
date for president 1t is not a breach OF
faith to say that John l. Rogers is the
man who has laid the wires for future
arrangements and who will advocate IN
the shape Of compromise, when the
candidacy of Spalding is blocked, four to
four, schedule and managing commit
tee consisting OF N E. Young, James A.
Hart. and John T. Brush. To this prop
osition the Brooklyn and Philadelphia
Clubs of the Spalding faction have as
sented. So has the Boston Club, Of the
Freedman faction.
Blast From Freedman.
With apparently smooth sailing. therc-
fore, and the various magnates chuckling
over the prospective clicking of the turn
stiles comes blast from Freedman whicn
is unexpected. to say the least. "If
league meeting is held" Freedman is
quoted as saying, 1--WE are going to elect
president-a man of the status of Ban
johnson. The New York Club will vote
for any good man. II he is stranger
to me and learn that he is fitted for the
position, will offer no opposition.
In other words, Freedman will insist
| upon the election of a new president. and
Will bar A. G. Spalding from the contest.
If the four loyal Spalding clubs do not
get down into the dust and renounce their
leader. then it is intimated that Freed
man will close the gates of the Polo
Grounds, which he has often threatened
to do, and there will be no National
League games here this summer.
Effect of the Threat.
So marked has been the clamor of Eb-,
bets, Rogers, Soden, and other magnates
to get together that Freedman apparently
realized that he holds the whiphand, and
that threat to close the Polo Grounds,
as in times past, will create a panic
among the magnates. One league magnate
made the significant remark that as soon
as the Polo Grounds gates were closed
the National League would proceed to ex-
pei the New York club and put a new
organization into this city.

A West-Pointer Called Down.

A young second lieutenant, who
had been graduated from the first
class a couple of months before the
regular graduation at West Point,
had just joined his regiment and
was walking down the street near
the palace. He stopped on the cor
ner, and as he did so an old grizzled
soldier with a growth of beard on
his face and with a cavalry ser
geant's stripe on his brooches, a blue
shirt and campaign-hat, but with no
other mark of rank about his uni
form except his sergeant's stripe,
walked slowly down and stopped in
front of the lieutenant, looking
around at the different buildings.
The young official fdgeted a few
moments under the name in which
the trooper ignored his proximity,
and finally turned to him and said,
sharply, "Here, you man, did any one
ever teach you how to salute?"
eyes, sir" drawled the trooper, as
he glanced at the youngster.
"Well, knock your heels together"
said the young officer; and the
trooper came to attention with the
precision of an old soldier.
"Now salutel" he said; and the
troopers gauntlet came to the rim
of his hat and stayed there until the
young lieutenant answered it, at the

same time demanding, "Now remem-
Der this, and don't let it happen
again! What is your name, and
what company do you belong too"
Without relaxing his position from
attention the old trooper again re-
spectfully saluted and remarked,
dryly, "My name is Samuel Sum
mer, and Pm brigadier-general of
the cavalry brigadel" Whereupon
the young lieutenant proceeded to
copy as many colors of the rainbow
with his face as possible, and slipped
away as soon as he dared, forgetting
even to APOLOGIZE. F. j. Archi-

A Bug Collectors Outfit.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
While we may not all be "bugolo-
gists," it may nevertheless be con-
venient to have a bug collectors out
fit, or at least part of one on the
farm, in case it is desired to prepare
specimens of insect pests for identi-
fcation or shipment to State Exper-
iment Stations. For the purpose of
killing the bugs without injuring or
mutilating their bodies, take an emp
ty n or two-ounce, wide-mouthed
bottle-it will naturally be a thick
unbreakable bottle-and place in the
bottom a piece of cyanide of potas-
sium about one-half inch thick. Over
this pour a little liquid plaster of
paris, just enough to cover and i'm
bed the cyanide. Close the bottle
with a tight cork. It will now be
ready at any time to receive bugs
and the killing properties of the cya-
hide will last a long time. No bug
can withstand the fumes for any
length of time.

take small heed of that the prepa-
ration to make Christmas shine in
dark places; the visiting the sick.
But, dear girls, there r achieve
ments of goodness not on these lines
which come constantly before you.
Not that I would have you lay these
aside-no, indeed; let the nimble
fingers keep busy and throw your
hearts into everything which inter
ests you and lies within your power.
I knew of twenty girls who by their
united work knit fifty hoods and
caps and twelve pairs of stockings
for an "East-Side" Christmas-tree
last year, and that surely was doing
good, as many a little otherwise
bareheaded and barefooted child
could testify.
But I want you to think of op-
portunities of another kind of good,
less apt to enter a young girls
mind. Truly, girls are far more
modest in their opinion of them
selves than people realize. They
are often vain about the charm of a
pretty face and like to receive the
tribute of admiration, but they do
not even imagine how much good
they can accomplish by their infu-
ence over those in their own home or
circle.
IF you knew a girl who by her
love and patience and ingenuity con-
trived to keep a brother or father
from evil influences, and made home
so delightful that they cared to stay
in it above all other places, would
you not feel that she had achieved a
great thing? Indeed she has! And
there are a million such opportuni-
ties thrown away every day, simply
because some dear, sweet girl cannot
think it possible that she could have
the power to do such a blessed thing
as this.
Think it all over before the dark
night sets in, and the old have to
keep indoors and the ignorant have
no means of amusement. Can't you
think of some one that you could
bring those great powers to bear
upon-Iove, patience and ingenuity
and let it be your aspiration this
winter to do that person good and
make him better and happier Mrs.

Girls Who Make Poor Wives.

It is "the worshipped daughter"
who has been taught that her whims
and wishes are supreme in a house
hold, who makes marriage a failure
all her life. She has had her way
in things great and small; and when
she desired dresses, pleasures or
journeys which were beyond the fam
lily purse, she carried the day with
tears or sulks, or by posing as a
martyr. The parents sacrificed and
suffered for her sake, hoping finally
to see her we'll married.
The average man is blind to the
faults of a pretty girl. He thinks
her little pettish ways r e girl
ish moods; but when she becomes his
wife and reveals her selfish and cruel
nature, he is grieved and hurt to
think that Fate has been SO unkind
to him.-Selected.

DEFoE'S DESCENDANTS AND GOLD

Are They to Be Found in North carolinaP

Are They to Be Found in North CarolinaP
The following letter from the
noted author, DR.. Edward Everett
Hale, of Boston, to Col. Joseph M.
Morehead, of Greensboro, should be
of interest to all North Carolina
readers of "Robinson Crusoe" or
of "The Vicar of Wakefield:
Dear Colonel Morehead:-I am
very much obliged to you for the
pamphlets which you are kind
enough to send me through u
friend, DR.. Benbow. I wish some
of you North Carolina gentlemen
would hunt up the descendants of
Daniel Defoe, the author of Robin
son Crusoe, who lived somewhere in
North Carolina.
1 think that the great Englishmen
himself came over here. I think that
accounts for his very accurate
knowledge of affairs in the Southern
States shown in Captain Jack.
There is another thing which
ought to be looked for in some old
store house in Wilmington. Oliver
Goldsmith, the poet, meant to emf
CRATE to North Carolina. He pack
ed his trunk and put it on board the
ship; the ship waited for the tide,
and while it waited Goldsmith
changed his mind, and never came to
America. But the trunk came, and
is somewhere in Wilmington, unless
Lord CORVALLIS stole Goldsmith's
shirts and stockings. Some of our
young people ought to make a novel
out of this. It has a much larger
foundation than most historical nov-
els have.
With great respect, dear sir, I am
Truly yours,

The October Heavens.

At about 8 o'clock in the October
evenings the constellation Pegasus
will be on the meridian. It's confgu-
ration is rendered very conspicuous
by the large square which forms it's
most prominent portion. Three of
the vertices of the Square of Pega-
sus belong to this constellation, while
the fourth is generally considered as
belonging to Audromeda. The north
eastern corner is marked by Alpha
Andromedae, or Alpheratz, but oc-
ca~sionally Iettered Delta Pegasi. Be
ia Pegasi or Scheat is in the north
west corner; Alpha or Markab in the
southwest and Gamma or Algenib In
the southwest corner.
South of Pegasus is the zodiacal
constellation Aquarius, or the Wa
ter-Bearer, occupying a not incon-
siderable region which by right
should belong to ~Capricornus. The
stars Alpha and Beta mark the
shoulders. With his left hand he
holds the urn from which the water
flows in a meandering stream down
southeast and south for about 80 de-
grees- until it reaches the constella-
ton Pisces Australis, or the South
ern Fish, of which the first magni-
tude star Fomalhaut is the brightest.
While Arcturus and Antares, the
Crown, Ophiuchus and Hercules
have either set or are on the point
of doing so, the constellation Pisces
is high up and Perseus and the
Pleiades have risen above the east
ern horizon, the first harbingers of
the glorious constellation that will
embellish the evening skies during
the winter months.-Baltimore Sun.

Reeds Famous RetOrt to Springer.

Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed was
ever testing the metal of his oppo-
nents, and knew every weak joint in
their armor. He was a fine listener,
and in his quiet moments was always,
gauging the ability of his antago-
nists. While leader on the Republi-
can side of the House he had a 10y
al following. It was so intensely
loyal that it supported him in his
new departure after he became
Speaker. Occasionally murmur of
mutiny were heard, but they we're
promptly silenced by the frmness of
the Speaker.
Aside from his official duties, MI.
Reed was a social power in Con-
gress. He chatted with everybody,
and his laconic sayings became pro-
verbal. His worst political enemies
seemed to have the keenest admira-
ton for linn.
Probably the sharpest reply that
he ever made in debate was to the
Honorable William NJ. Springer, of
Illinois. Mr.. Springer was persis-
tent in discussion and an expert in
chop logic. While discussing some
proposition before the House, he OBJ
served Mr.. Reed standing in a side
aisle listening to him in apparent
astonishment. When the Illinois
Representative had resumed his seat,
the man from Maine threw open the
lid of the desk at his side. He drew
therefrom an old volume of the Con-
gressional Record and read a COM
plete reply to Mr.. Springer's argu-
ment. He threw down the book, say
ing:
II quote from a speech made by
the honorable gentleman from Hi
nois in the Forty-fourth Congress-"
It was a home thrust. The House
roared, and Mr.. Springer for a mo-
ment was thoroughly disconnected.
He secured the floor, however, and
promptly acknowledged the corn.
With great ingenuity he began to
frame a reply. He alluded to the
present as an age of progress. Men
had progressed artistically, scientif-
cally and politically. What would
have been orthodox in politics fifty
years ago might not be orthodox
now. Aside from this, men were liza
BILE to change their opinions. Sir
Robert Peel changed his in regard
to the Corn Laws, and more than one
American statesman had found him
self mistaken in the course of time
and changed his views.
