The Thrifty Editor.

Not long ago an Eastern Senator
received request from a country edi.
tor in a mountainous section for a big
package of seeds. He desired a good.
ly number of packages, which were
forthwith sent to him, as 1t was sup
posed, for free distribution among the
farmers of his vicinity. The Senator
had been in the habit OF sending out
big packages of the seeds furnished
by the Agricultural Department. to
prominent men in different localities,
who disposed of them where they
would do good.
Thus the Senator acquired knowl.
edge of a new use for the generous
gratuity of the government Ii wasn't
long thereafter that letter came from
rival editor in the same town, com.
planning that the first.named knight
of the quill was using the seeds to
boom the circulation of his paper, by
offering packages of seeds to those
who subscribed with him.-washing

Charles B. Whitney. head Of the firm
of c. B. Whitney & Co., large eastern
manufactures and dealers in sporting
goods, in an interview at Denver a
few days ago, said
1t is wonderful, the number of uni
forms used in some of the large cities.
For instance, in Denver, three yeaxs
ago, sixty full sets of uniforms were
sold. AS these will average about taa
to the set, there were 600 uniforms sold
in this city alone. That was . Iaxgsr
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 osx1nized
baseball, and each of these teams had
at least two sets of suits The mum Der
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. 1t
is difficult to figure up what the grand
total will be, but 1t furnishes work
for many people. The Indications are
that the season of 1908 will be the
greatest known in baseball The or
ganized leagues are in better shape, as
they have agreed and are prepared to
make the game go for the money in it.

Professional basket ball is a new
game that has taken well in the East
during the last winter. 1t has done so
well that it 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

To sacrifice her dearest wish
Oft for another's need:
To find n path through darkest ways
Anothers steps to lead;
To crush her SORROWS to her heart
And smother back her tears
That she might soothe another's pain.
And smile against her fears:
To toll for those che loves the best
With accomplishing heart:
To find no deed of love too hard
This is the woman's part.
To find her need In joys that come
When loved ones gain success;
To feed her hungry heart upon
a baby's soft caress:
To ind a world OF bliss or pain

Gone like passing breeze
To live for those who need her helm.

Further particulars from the Antarc-

in New Zealand recently. show that
the dash for the south made by a 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..
Shackloton left the depot which had
been established in S0.4 South and
reached latitude S2.17 South, not s0.l1
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-nine days. when another
depot was established in $3.50. There
