Has Shod 10000 Horses.

Warren Willard, the longtime black
smith, believes he holds the record in
Vermont for the number of horses shod
by one man. He has been in the bust
ness over 80 years and during that time
has shod over $4,000 horses. Mr. Willard
is 20 years old. When he was boy he
worked for his father. Joel Willard in
the same shop where he has spent all
his business life, with the exception of
less than a year. He used to work in the
shop before and after school, beginning
between 4 and o'clock in the morning
and working until at night. At that
time all the horse nails and shoes were
made by hand, machine made supplies
being then unheard Of so that it was
necessary to work early and late to keep
supplies ahead. Years ago Mr.. Willard
shod a large number of oxen, and he still
has an OK frame in his shop, but he has
not shod an OK for over a year.

CLOSE GAME
WhitehOrse Team Meets
 Stubborn Opposition.

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan. ]
 'Whitchorse, Jane Lit looked for a while this evening as though the Whitehorse baseball team had met it's match. A snappy and interesting nine innings was played between the regu- lar Whitehorse team and the B. Y. N. team. the latter assisted by three of the Skagway players. The game was fast and furious, and lasted only hour and 30 minutes. The score was 10 to 1 in favor of the Whitehorse team at the finish, but for five innings no one had n cinch, the score standing to 1 in favor of the B. Y. N. team. Two bad errors on the part Of the Sd baseman for the B. Y. x. let tn six run, in one inning, deciding the game.
 The game was intended for a practice game, but the B. Y. N. boys showed up so strong, with the able assistance of the Skagway boys, that it got pretty serious for Whitehorse. With a little practice, the scrub team will put mp a game that will keep them guessing. B. Y.N money was strongly in evi- dence, with no takers.
 Capt. Barrager has ordered his men out at 6 @. m. and C D. m. each day for practice from now on.

mind us that at the time Of the Indian

experience with something that sounds
susplcously like telepathy. When the
rebellion broke out It became necessary
to send many important dispatches
across the unsettled districts Of India,
and although the British authorities
had the fastest post service at their
disposal their dispatches were In.

argues that whatever the means Of
