leave their headquarters at 23o CLOCK
and proceed down Main street to Elliot
street being joined by the Y. Nj. {. y.
team in front of the association rooms.
The Wheel clubbers will fall in in front
of their headquarters. and the procession
will swing around and march back To
Main street, thence to the grounds. rms
will give the boys a little time for prac-
tice before the game, which will begin
promptly at $50 o'clock
As stated last week, the executive com
mittee decided at a former meeting to
ask the managers of each team to sub
init a list of n players who should con-
stitute their playing quota for the season.
The list submitted by the manager of the
Catholic Union team. j. z. Ferriter, con-
tanned but l. names but others will be

most impossible to imagine that these
changes of effects can be SO frequent
in part of the world where there are
no houses to cast deep shadows on the
ground, no avenues of trees to vary the
monotony of an ever brilliant sun. Still
the changes are there, and so frequent
that one never experiences a feeling of
unmarried sameness. One walks on, be
it north, south, east or west, the same
expanse of sand presents itself, appar-
entity, too, tie same palm trees and 81
lent pool of water, and one is forced to
ask ones self whether, in this, whole
world of desolation, no soul exists, no
human body breathes-whcn, in the
distance, an Arab is seen, his feet SHOE
less, his head devoid of turban or fez,
bending to a pool of water, washing.
Soon he rises, having performed his
additions, to turn to the east, and
there, alone on the desert, now kneel-
ing, now standing, ever intent on his
duties towards his prophet, he prays to
his God. Camanything be more impress
sive than such a scene? No temple on
church, not even Mohammedan
mosque. in which to offer his soul to his
God, his prayers to Heaven. There
alone. amidst a solitude almost incon-
ceivable, he performs his acts of wor-
ship.

DOGS WORK IN COAL MINES.
Canine Power Employed by Ohio Op.
orators in Shafts Too Narrow
for Horses.

In certain coal mines of Ohio the dog
has already been reduced to the grade
OF laborer, and the utilization of dog
power in drawing cars of coal has
proved most satisfactory. AS the Ger
man farmer harnesses his dog to a
little road wagon and hauls his vege-
tables to market, or the Flemish milk
man ties his mastiff to the axle of his
cart, so the Ohio miner bitches a tan
dem team of dogs to a cart and makes
them draw out the coal over minia-
ture railway, says the New York Trib-
une.
The dog has been found practicable
in these mines for the reason that the
coal veins are narrow and mules are
too large. The miners themselves are
badly pinched for room, and are COM
PEELED to work oftentimes lying on
one side or half kneeling. The coal is
bltuminous, and is all separated by
means of picks without the aid of
powder
The Ohio coal mine dog not only
possesses great strength for his small

the animals ordinarily used for trac-
ton purposes. None is of pure breed,
but all have in their veins good guam
titles of the blood of the mastiff or the
bulldog. Dogs of the same team work
together tremendously, but entertain
remarkable jealousy for those of
rival team. Thus, when several car
loads of coal are travelling out of the
mine, one behind the other, the dogs
OF the hindermost team strain every
muscle to keep up with those ahead.
The miners feed their helpmates
once day, for dog will refuse food
while he is working. well-trained

about the sum a miner earns in a
week. Most of the miners treat their
dogs kindly, for they cannot fail TIC

hardly compete for filth and squalor,

because their religion forbids it.
The further south one goes the more
brilliant the sun, the more golden the

the scene. The only thing to break the
stiffness of the air is an occasional

SNUFF md Good Humor.

Interesting notes on the snuff TAX

authorities of the district known as
the Bavarian forest. The men there
consume on an average of half pound
of snuff per day, the tobacco being
mixed with ground glass 'to sting

are much given to violence and at
tacks with the knife are of daily oc-
currence. For years the prison. au-

LOVE FOUND A WAY.
Railway Engineers Sweetheart Gets
Bouquet to Him with Dis
aYtrous Result.

There is a saying that Love will find
a way" but whether the way is all
ways good one seems a little doubt
full. On one of the trains running be-
tween Kansas City and ST. Louis is a
young fireman named Blackmar.
Sometimes, says the Kansas City Jour
nal, he is compelled to stop over in
Kansas City, and when several days
passed and he failed to put in an APP
pearance the mistress of the boarding
house asked about him.
Hes in the hospital said the man
who runs the engine and rides in the
cab with Blackmar. "Down in the rail-
road hospital, you know
OF course every one sighed and
awaited an explanation.
WELL" the engineer began, she's got
a sweetheart, and she presented him
with bouquet, and the bouquet did
the rest.
Halfway across the state, just OUT
side of Moberly, the girl used to stand
by her fence and wave her sunbonnet
at him. That was in the spring. In
the summer, when the garden back of
the fence began to bloom, the girl used
to make bouquets, and when the train
sped by she used to throw them at the
engine cab. OF course she always
missed, but she kept on trying.
1T seemed to hurt young Blackmar
to have the posies crushed under the
wheels, and one Sunday, when he went
calling on her, they fixed up plan.
The next day, when the train went
by, the girl had her bouquet fastened
to long tishing-pole. She thrust it
at the moving train, but she was lit
tie too slow.
THE next day she was there again
with her fishpole bouquet-holder, and
this time she gave vigorous push.
Young Blacklnar was in the cab win
dow, with his mouth on broad grin.
Well, he caught the bouquet, fish-pole
and all, and she waved him a tris
umphant good-by. That's all there is
to that"
Caught the bouquet howe" asked
the boarders.

They had not walked through the
streets together for good while
not even to church. Horatio Whit
ney was keenly sensitive to the fact
that his overcoat and hat were shah
by. He did not care to remember
how long it was since he had bought
new ones, and he did not want
Martha to remember. So he stayed
at home quietly, and grew a little
grayer and little older every day.
So he had stayed at home Sunday
after Sunday. He was always tired;
it was good enough excuse. Martha
| gave up urging him after awhile.
| The next morning Martha walked
downtown with Horatio, through
Jermyn street. 1t was beautiful
day.
Down the street a little way prog
ress was temporarily blocked, and
Horatio and Martha came to stand
still. heavy dray was being backed
across the sidewalk.
They were abreast of splendid
plate-glass show-window, and Martha
turned to it for entertainment. What
woman was ever at loss for amuse-
ment with a show-window at her ell
bow? But this one-Martha turned
away a little Disguised. 1t was only

Martha was driven back to the Win
dow in self-defense, and it was this
time that she saw the coat that re-
minded her. A little thrill ran oven
her, for it was the exact shade-the
soft, deep gray-of that other coat
1t was not distinguishably different
either, in style-queer that Is years
should make so little change!
Martha glanced at Horatio's shabby
overcoat. The pitiless sun gave it nc
quarter. She saw all its fadedness
and meanness, and the listless, de
jected sag of it. 1t gave her start
of surprise that she had not noticed
it before. She scarcely ever noticed
Horatios clothes. They were always

rarely anything to mend.
But now.-the contrast between the
spruce, new coats in the window and
Horatios coat! Between the sleek
hats set jauntily on the staring
painted heads of the window-dum-
mics and the faded, worn one plant
ed squarely on Horatio's gray hair!
Martha's heart misgave her at the
contrast. She did not want to look
but looked on steadily.
Horatio was looking at the dray-
man. His bent shabby shoulders
were back to" the great window
Horatio never looked in show win
dows.

Ii was Horatio's voice in her ear
and Martha started with an odd
sense of confusion and guilt. She
went on down the street irving to
joke herself at ease again, but her
thoughts ran on persistently in per-
turbed undercurrent. The gray over
coat that had reminded her-she
could not get it out of her sight.
Gray had been so becoming to Hora-
ito Is years ago-Martha had chosen
that color herself for his "wedding
overcoat.' And she had had apple
buds in her wedding bonnet because
pink and gray were SO beautiful to-
gether.
