centuries. 1t has located hell. Ii places

asserts, "a better selection. could not

"The question with the Blackhawk
county farmer now is, will the frost
stay away until the corn is ready for
that it will, and if it does let us give
the credit to the Almighty for The
blessing instead of to the. republican
party" devoutly observes the Waterloo
Times Tribune.
The Spirit Lake Beacon displays con-
siderable knowledge of forbidden sort
when it says: 1.-The race is between
King Corn and Jack Frost says the
New Sharon Star. And the king always
takes the jack, except the game is eu-
chre, in which case the farmer will get
the worst of it."
The Audubon Republican objects to

Sire enuous Americans Outlive the In
dolent Africans.
r. seems that we are all wrong
about the hurtful and life-shortening
effect of American hustle" Our ma
tional motto may be said to have been
"A short life, but strenuous one."
We were willing, as a people. to have
the span shortened little II only
we could have something worth while,
something active and effective. going
all the time. But 1t seems. according
to the latest bulletin Of the census
bureau. that the fast life is also the
long one, says Harper's Weekly. Our
"median age"-that Is, the age which
is auch that half the population is
under 1t and half over it's more
than seven years greater than it was
century ago. and increases from dec
ade to decade. We are surprising
eas.'going foreign countries In this
respect; we are surprising even the
ose-jointed, indolent, beautifully re.
laxed. never-worrying African in our
midst; for whereas the median age of
our American whites is 23.4 years,
that of the devil-may-care colored per-
son is but 1873. Lately much confu.
sior. has arisen in the minds OF many
Americans over the statement made
by certain eminent neurologists that
1t IL next to impossible for a man to
"ovsrwork." provided his bodily func.
tiops are kept in good order by tenn.
pernte and wholesome living. OTHER
physicians. to be sure. tell us that
hurry and worry spell death. We had
accepted the latter judgment. with the
qualifying reflection that NO matter
what science tells us. It always seems
to have another think coming" This
census bulletin which links the long
life with the fast one appears to b
the other think"

,Dash Toward South Pole.

I Further particulars from the Antarc-
tic relief ship Morning, which arrived
in New Zealand recently, show that
the dash for the south made by party
from the Discovery, which resulted in
establishing the record for the furthest
point south. commenced December
18th last, when Captain Scott, of the
Discovery, DR.. Wilson and Lieut..
Shackleton left the depot which had
been established in S0.4 South and
reached latitude S2.17 South. not s0.17
West. as previously reported.
Their party was absent forty-five
days. After establishing depot sixty
five miles south of the ship, the snow
got soft, and Captain Scott and his
companions had to drag the sledges.
This was most arduous labor and
lasted twenty-njne days, when another
depot was established in 5000. There
the explorers discarded their superfiu-
GUS gear. started southwark on the
dash December 18th, reached S2.17
January /, regained the southermost
depot January 18th and returned to
their ship February Sd.

Charles B. Whitney. head of the firm
OF c. B. Whitney & Co.. large eastern
manufacturers and dealers in sporting
goods. in an interview at Denver q
Few days ago, said:
1T Is wonderful, the number of uni-
forms used in some of the large cities.
For instance, in Denver, three years
ago. sixty full sets of uniforms were
sold. AS these will average about ten
TO the set. there were 600 uniforms sold
In this city alone. That was larger
number in proportion to population
than was sold in any other city in the
country in that year. Last year there
were sixty-eight teams in organized
baseball, and each of these teams had
at least two sets of suits. The number
in these sets vary. For instance, New
York's team ordered two full sets of
twenty in each, making forty suits.
Then think of the number of amateur
clubs that buy uniforms in year. It
is difficult to figure up what the grand
total will be, but 1t furnishes work
Tor many people. The indications are
that the season of 1903 will be the
greatest known in baseball. The or
gan1Zed leagues are in better shape, as
they have agreed and are prepared to
make the game go for the money in it.
There are more leagues. major and
minor, than ever before. Amateur and
professional teams are springing
up in towns where ball has been played
In very Indifferent fashion for years
l would estimate that there will be
twenty per cent. more baseball leagues
and baseball teams than ever before.
Professional basket ball is a new
game that has taken wei, IN the East
during the last winter. 1t has done SO
well that 1t will furnish a means for
occupation in the winter time to pro-
fessional baseball players. The game
is much faster game than that played
by amateurs. being under rules made
especially to- govern professionals.
Crowds have turned out to see the
game, giving America new winter
sport. Next winter there will be
dozens of professional basket ball
teams where this year there was one
"A rather peculiar thing came home
to us the other day. The Overman
Sporting Goods Company, now out of
existence, made a large push BALI sew

that game, which was then new. 1t
did not take on this side of the water,
but was transplanted to England,
where it was taken up with enthusi-
asm. Now it is being brought back
into this country, with the chance of
becoming very popular. The first push
balls made were really footballs on an
enlarged scale. having the big bladder
like affair in the center. Now the ball
is made over frame. The old balls
cost about SIS to manufacture, while
the new ones are rather within the
means of those caring to take up the
game"

CHAPTER XVI.

Driven to Desperate Straits.
Once outside the tent, Lakeland was
like one dazed and confused. He saw
a figure coming toward him and recog-
nized it as one of his men. He hur-
ried toward him, saying:
"Cummins. you have come at last?"
Yes; they relieved me and told
me to report here. Right glad am

stool and taken step toward the
door of the tent as If she would fly,
but he quickly put himself before her

When convinced our poor, dear Paul
is no more. will you, oh, will you look
with more favor on my suit?"
She found her voice now. Tho
words-the stinging insult fired her
soul-and in voice in which grief,
rage and disgust were strangely
blended, she cried:
mo, no-a thousand times no! II
1t was for this you have followed me
across the ocean and wilderness you
can go-yes. go! I will have no more
to say to you-go!"
Drawing herself up to her full
height, with all the scorn which an in
jured soul can depict in a handsome
face. she pointed toward the door of
the tent. Unable to stand before the
proud, defiant creature whom he had
in his grasp, he started toward the
door Of the tent, when one OF the
strangest figures either had ever seen,
entered.
1t was man fully fifty years Of age,
his long, white hair and beard evident
ly many years strangers to either
razors, scissors, combs or brushes. In
his hand the old man carried a Win
chester rifle, the butt of which he
placed vi the ground, while he leaned
on the muzzle, and fixed his curious
eyes on the man before. him. So
piercing was that glance that 1t
seemed to penetrate the very soul of
the scoundrel.
The ola man might have been taken
for Rip Van Wrinkle, but for the fact
that his arms were all of the latest
improvement. Advancing pace or
two and pausing, he leaned on his
rifle, glancing from first one and then
the other, but uttered not . word.
After a moments amazed silence
Lakeland gasped:
who in Satan's name are you?"
was the answer, in low husky voice.
which seemed to chill the blood in the
veins Of the rascally Lakeland. There
was firmness in the voice, a steady
CLEAN in the eye, which indicated he
had met a man whom it would not
do to trifle with.
Where did you come from?" asked

"And alone?"
"A woman companion was with me,
but she remained back on the trail
twenty-five miles, and an avalanche
has filled the trail, SO she cannot

There has been no avalanche" the
old man answered. in his deep voice;
There has been no avalanche"
She quickly fastened her gaze upon
the face of Lakeland, who began to
retreat toward the door.

cried Lakeland, and darted from the
