AN ODD CASE.

His Curious story.

Think Of man learning how to spell
three times and then not being able to
spell correctly" said an obserVant man
who takes an interest in subjects Of this
sort, according to the New Orleans
Times-DemOcrat, "and you viii have my
case summed up exactly. am not what
you would call a bad speller by any
manner Of means. But l stumble now
and then, and stumble badly. Why Is
It? It Is the simplest thing In the world.
grew up in the country, attended q
country school, and my first spelling
was under the rules Of the old-time
school teacher. learned how to spell
on my feet 1t is a curious fact that for
long time 1 could not spell the simplest
words unless stood up. Standing I
could spell anything, and, In fact, was
always the winner In the spelling bee
No one could turn me down. as we
used 70 say In the country. Well, after
this learned how to spell with my pen
ell All my spelling talent went into the
pencil, Ny tongue forgot the art, and
whether standing or sitting, could not
spell q word unless It belonged to the
simpler kind without using my pencil
Now began to use the typewriter, and
consequently had to learn how to spell
again. Ask me how to spell a word now
and wiz have to 90 TO the typewriter
unless the word Is a very simple one
Ny tongue won't spell It and my pen
ell win refuse to write Il So I have
learned to spell three times, and as I
said before am not q good speller yet {"

BASEBALL DELIGHTS
KL0NDIKE SPORTSMEN.

Dawson, N W. T., Aug 29-The Klondike
is intensely interested in baseball. Amer
ica's national game has SO captured the
great Canadian camp under the flag of
Britain that gold is for the time relegated
to second place in the heart of the miner.
Four teams. composing the Dawson
League, the most northerly on the CONT
nent, have created great local interest.
Dawson has been in a delirium Of excite
ment the last week over contests on the
diamond. The teams OF the Dawson
League have battled with White Horse for
the supremacy Of the North. The capital
of the Klondiks has finished with the
greatest number OF games to its credit,
valiant opponent Dawson teams won i've
out OF six games, but the White Horse team
was defeated only. after splendid efforts
and largely through luck.
Aside from the Dawson-White Horse
matches. the league games between the
Dawson teams attract 'a great hi es Dur
each contest. The grand stand was
crowded at every game and hundreds
lined the grounds At the regular Dawson
Leag sss games the attendance averages l5oo

L nSb The has Ss
thousands who .are not from the States
and who have been educated to like the
son irregularly in past seasons. This il
the first year that an organized league has
carried out q schedule.
All games in the Dawson league are
played at night, or after seven o'clock in
the evening, a time that would be classed
as night In most parts Of America. The
midnight sun Of the sub-Arctic summer
permits the players to see the ball as well
In the evening as in the daytime
In the month of June games could be
played as successfully at midnight as at
midday. The season will close in a few
weeks, when the sun will have withdrawn
toward the south SO far as to make It i'm
possible to finish nine innings after seven
o'clock in the evening.
One reason OF the big attendance at Daw-
son is the fact that the games can be
played after business hours. Many of the
stores, as well as shops and other places.
are closed after six o'clock ana outdoor
recreation seems to have more fascination
than shows or indoor attractions. Theaters.
concerts and halls find the baseball games
demoralizing competitors.
The Dawson League teams are known am
der the names Of Civil Service, Amaranths.
Idyle Hour and Gandolfos. The Civil Ser
vice team IL composed mostly OF men in
the civil service employ. The I6yle Hours
are put in the field by the Idyle Hours
Club. The Amaranths are fostered by a
young mems social club of the same nama.
and the Gandolfos are backed by Joseph
r.. Gandolfo. one of the most enterprislng
of Dawson's business men.

teams ard every effort is mace by the

Lancaster, Wis. Aug. 29.-For many
years the Denniston House. at Cassville. has
been familiar landmark to every pilot on
the Upper Mississippi River. 1t is a ram
bling, fve-story Ted-brick building. facing
the river. and towering up in striking con-
trast TO all else In the village, which has Il
population Of less than 800. A broad porch.
supported by row of white pillars. extends
across the entire front OF the structure.
which has more than 100 rooms. On the
second floor a broad hall divides the build
ing. Each suite consists of a large front
and back parlor. folding doors making it
possible to open them into one large room.
High ceilings and old-fashioHed mantels
make the suites most agreeable.

being designed for the legislative halls.
The structure was called the Denniston
after former Governor Denniston OF New
York. who was one Of the chief promoters
of the enterprise. The cite was very suita-
bic, for legislators coming from parts OF
the Territory now forming Iowa and Min
nesota could land in cassviIie. saving
cross-country ride OF over forty miles. the
distance from the Mississippi to Belmont.
In 1896. however. before the Denniston
House was completed. an act of Congress
dividing the Territory Of Wisconsin into
the Territories Of Minnesota, Iowa and
Wisconsin doomed the scheme of making
Cassvile the capital of Wisconsin. The
project. had it been successful, would
have brought millions to the projectors

lators were never realized. Cassville at
