The efforts to revive the once popu' lar game of cricket in this country
 leads a sporting writer to remark that
 you cannot build a pyramid upon lts apex, and you cannot make a game,
 however intrinstcally good it may be, as popular as it should be, if you play a style of it in which practically the boys, and small village communities, can have no part. That is what has happened to cricket here; consequent ly, although it is played in thirteen states, it is practically localized to a few big ci ies, where there are ex- ports and fine grounds. That is all wrong, and quite contrary to the pos abilities of the game. There are two forms of cricket-one ponderous, slow drawn-out, requiring a long time to play a match, and nearly score and a half of players before you car start. The other is short game
 occupying not more than two hours, and requiring only six. or eight play CTS. By the irony Of fate, the first of

 In the last days of the Boston Mu- scum the devotees struggled for relics, fought for a piece of the chandelier, that, dying, they might bequeath it as a rich legacy unto their issue.

PITY THE RICH.

MT. David R.

The poor man is happier than the rich" Com fortable doctrine. MT Forgan has been poor and rich. He must know what he is talking about. He de- scribed to the fashionable audience the cares and worries and insomnia of the rich. '.The poor man can leave his work in the evening and give it little further thought unto the next day." whereas Dives must toss on his couch and fret about his investments.
 MT. Forgan might have citied the case of the nany-millioned New Yor- ker who walled: "T don't know what the country is coming to. We shall all have to go the poorhouse if this sort of thing keeps on.

these styles double wicket" is the only game known in America, to the spirit of which it is the least fitted, whereas the second style, single wick et," exactly fits the nervous, chahng' high-strung American spirit The devotees of cricket in America have been trying to build popular cricket upon exhibition matches and trophy contes S at swell club functions. They have their place, true, but 1t is as the finishing ornament of the game, and not as it's foundation. What cricket in America wants is to be played by the boys and youths at their country homes universally. To accomplish that result a cricket must be played that will fit the condition. That is exactly what single cricket would do. It would be game, moreover, with sparkle and enthusiasm in it.

If President Roosevelt is elected next year, says one writer, it will be simply and solely because the voters of the country believe that he is helping them in their battle with the trusts. It is not strange, then, that the president is doing all in his power to give currency to the idea that he is fighting the trusts with might and main. Let us see how, he is doing this. Let Us see how much he is entitled to the distinguished con- sideration of the people for his efforts to curb the trusts. MT Roosevelt start ed in political life as a strenuous free trader, and was a member of the New York Free Trade club, yet recently, un- der pressure from the Protective Tariff league, he joined the stand -patters," :" and thus stands opposed to the most certain way of curbing the trusts and giving relief to the people-by reducing the tariff duties. It was the presi- dents voice that killed the Little6eld antitrust bill in the last congress and caused the passage of two sham anti trust bills-the Elkins anti-rebate bill and the department of commerce bill w&h it's bureau of. corporations to give publicity to trusts. His voice could have caused his attorney-general to go after the coal trust, but his voice was silent The facts that are slowly com ing to light in regard to the new bureau of corporations in the department of commerce should open the eyes of the voters of the country to the real posi- tion of the president on the trust ques- tion.

When the atm mosphere in Wall street begins to clear it will be found that many good stocks are selling much be- low intrinsic values, writes Banker Clews. There are good railroad stocks selling at a 5 and 57k per cent basis buyers are few because confidence and buying power are both impaired. With a revival of the former, however, the latter would rapidly increase. Outside of Wall street there has been no seri- ous reaction. Quite possibly the de- pression there will impart more con- servative feeling in commercial and in- dustrial circles which will do no harm; in fact, return to more normal condi~ tions would be absolutely beneficial. For instance, as iron declines the chances improve for enterprises and outlays which hitherto have been held in check by high prices. Witness also how the high price of cotton forces mills to shut down and buyers to di- minish their purchases. All concerned are threatened by the unreasonable speculation 1n cotton, and who doubts that sense of relief will be felt when this disturbance Is ended? Improve ment should follow the removal of ab- normal conditions in the iron and cot ton industries, though the readjustment period may cause more or less tempo rary interruption to business. Tn agri- cultural circles, however, the oSSlook thus far is most assuring. Though the crops are late there is no more uncer- 1 tainty than usual about results. The promise is for fair yields of cotton corn, wheat, oats hay and live stock al 1 good prices. The American farmer is
 as sure as he can be of another pros
 porous year, and this means much fol
 the country at large. So long as those
 dependent on the soil enjoy prosperity
 the mills, the merchants and the rail
 roads are sure of having their full 1 share. -.
