And daisies blossom and the green

That sunset skies flame in the gathering

SPORT OF roo1sALL IN TURKEY
uthorities Make Things Lively for
lhe Players.

Ihe Players.
Sport does not meet with much en-
couragement in Turkey, and it is pur-
sued under great difficulties. A young
Turk called Rechad Bey, inspired by
the Smyrna and Constantinople foot
ball march, organized club among
his friends, together with some Greeks
AMI Armenians, and began practicing.
A few days ago in the middle of the
night, police came to his house and
carried him off to Scutari. There he
was submitted to a long interroga-
ton as to the club and the game Of
football. Matters only grew more
complicated, as the Turkish word for
ball Is top, the same as for a can
non. The authorities were convinced
that they had found great plot, and
that the club must be secret So
ciety. A special messenger was sent
for the ball, and that was duly ex-
amined, and found to be an Internal
machine. The regulations of the club
were considered to be another piece
Of damaging evidence, and still worse
were the jerseys and colors of the
club, which showed a complete or
ganization, even to uniform. After
long deliberation the culprit was sent
to the higher police authorities in
Stamboul, who went through second
long examination, and came to the
conclusion that the umpire had been
saved from disintegration by the early
discovery of great plot. They dis
patched the whole matter to be exam
ined into at Yildiz. So the young
| man, the football, the rules and the
sweaters and kickers were all solemn
ly taken to the palace, and special
| commission took the matter in hand.
After much careful thought and ex-
animation of the evidence, 1t was de-
| cided that there might be nothing In
| It, but it must not be done again. Ac-
cordingly the young man was ap-
pointed vice consul at Teheran and
bundled off the same day. This may
appear perfectly incredible, but 1t Is
absolutely true.-London Telegraph

The lady with the pompadour bowed
over the hand that the girl held out
to her. When the young man came

Martha was looking timidly from
one to the other, when the old gentle
man cried, Your aunt and cousin"
Martha hardly knew how 1t hap

and around them was the sweet, warm
breath Of resurrected spring. They rode
away in carriage drawn by horses
that tossed their heads proudly, and
trod the receding roadway with impa-
tient speed. The carriage stopped at
a stately mansion; the lady and her
son alighted with a kind good bye,
and the old gentleman said again,

Another Love Story.
BY JESSIE FORREST.

A tall man in light rain coat and a
neutral.tinted girl climbed the steps of
a red-stone mansion. The house looked
to be untenanted. The halls echoed
with unfurnished nudity as the two
entered They walked familiarly into
an oblong room, which was as barren
as the hall, with the exception that 1t
contained small imitation mahogany
table and two uncertain chairs.
The girl laughed half Historically
as she removed her hat and sat down,

"Our den of thieves seems remarka-
bly, fit this evening dear. 1t chimes in

Metals That Cost.

One of the most curious of the rare
metals is vanadium, which melts at
1000 degrees Fahrenheit, and is no:
attacked by either muriatic acid or
nitric acid. 1t increases the ductility
of copper and iron, and would be very
valuable to electro o-metallurgists, on
account of the properties Eamed, II the
price of it were not so high--$592 n
pound. It's chief use at present Is
for coloring glass.
Uranium Is likewise employed in the
making of glass and porcelain, though
1t Is expensive, being worth $S6 a
pound.
Iridium is valued to-day at $3.50 q
pound, and is the hardest metal
known. 1t is used for tips of gold
pens. Palladium costs 1882 pound,
and Is employed fop astronomical In
struments.
Lithium, which Is quoted at 81, 100
q pound, is prescribed by doctors for
rheumatism--its salts, that Is to say
but no use has been found for 1t out
side Of medicine.
Selenium, which is one of the cheap
est OF the rare metals, is worth $22 a
pound. 1t has the strange property
OF losing its resistance to the electric
current under the infiunce of light,
and accordingly is used In certain In
struments, such as the telectroscope
which utilizes light rays as means
of conveying signals.

Martha,
An Easter Story.

BY. ELIZA eth X. HARRINGTON.
Copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
A girl descended the steps Of great
gray church. In her hand she held
violin case; roll Of music lay fold
ed within her arm. She paused upon
the lower step to reclasp the fastening
of her long black cloak. The hood
which was attached fell from her head
and disclosed fair face with beauti-
ful dark blue eyes. The falling hood
disarranged her hair, which hung in
curling red-gold waves about her face.
She stretched forth white hand and
gathered up the music and violin case.
AS she reached the street she alb
ruptly met the gaze Of stranger; for
an instant they looked into each 9TH
er's eyes. She saw man with a
frank, pleasant face and dark, pointed
beard.
HE must be an artist" she thought,
''but he looked as II he were success
full" In the Bohemia which she in
habited she had never seen the sue
cessful artist.
THAT girl would make fine model
for young SAINT; most unusual face"
he thought. Let me see, st. Cecilia
would 1t be? She carried music. She
looked patrician; but she looked poor,
and the two when they come together
are always pathetic. Poor little girl,
SO uncommonly pretty! wonder If
! she has good mother and a comforta-
BILE supper awaiting her? I'll wager
she hasn't the latter"

DUNCAN SALE BEGINS MONDAY
Entire Stock of Clothing Is Placed
On Market.

Ye who have suits to buy, prepare to
buy them now, for never again in the
history of the trade of Amerlcus will
such an opportunity be given suitors af-
ter suits. AS advertised elsewhere,
the entire stock of clothing at Dun
cans Store, and an immense stock of
finegoods it is, will be thrown on the bar
gain counters Monday morning, the
sale to continue until the last suit is
sold. There are no finer lines of tailor
made clothing in Americas, values
ranging from $40, $12. so, $15, $40 and
$22 so per suit. But values are not
considered when the one price of 81. 80
is named for this sale. The trade
knows what is meant by this annual
clothing sale at Duncan's, as hundreds
bought fine suits last Jan uary at $3.50,
worth three times the price This sale,
beginning Monday, will he like that
last year, with splendid bargains for
all. First corners get first choice
at $3.50, but any suit offered today is
worth great deal more than this
price. No suits sent out on approval
at these cut prices.
