Lazy Mans Paradise.

On market day in the West Indies thousands of peasant women and girls can be seen walking along the roads to the town from their palm thatched huts in the mountains and woods They carry on their heads immense loads of bananas, oranges, vans, plaintains, brown sugar or tobacco, stepping along at the rate of four miles an hour with the gait of a princess.
 Constant carrying of heavy loads gives them splendid carriage. They will walk forty miles to mar kct to sell 30 cents worth of pro- ducc Often they could sell at the same price at their homes, but they enjoy the merry company on the road and the fun and gossip and the market place too much to give up their weekly jaunt. Most people think such a tramp hard work, but they regard it as picnic. Tramp ing along over rough mountain tracks, fording swift rivers, tugging fractious mules in the way that they should go, these women never let their loads fall They could dance a jig without dropping them.
 Meanwhile the men folk-who have not even taken the trouble to SOW or harvest the crops, much less carry them to market-are sleeping in the palm-thatchcd hut or lying down in the yam patch outside and smoking the strong native tobacco.
 "On my estate,' said coffee planter to an American friend, T employ about GOO people in the busy seasons, besides 200 or 300 children. The women outnumber the men by more than two to one, and do far better work, though the, are only paid eighteen cents d day, as compared with the mens twenty four cents. The difference in wages is most unfair, but fl is regulated by an ironbound custom. Kansas City Star.

ELECTRIC LIGHT RACES
HAVE BEEN CALLED OFF.

management Decided That the Az
tendance Was Too Small.
The electric light races that were
to have been run at the Thunderbolt
track last night were postponed on ac-
count of the small attendance, and
there is a possibility that the project
VIII be given up entirely as there has
been lack of interest since the enter
price was first mentioned.
Mr.. Sharpe. who has been backing
the enterprise, said last night that
he had already spent a large sum of
money to get the track in shape and
get horses here. and unless the public
is disposed to patronize him, he sees
no necessity for going in still deeper.
So far as the races themselves are
concerned those who saw the first at
tempt believe that they can be made
attractive enough TO induce large num-
oers of people to go out. The track
was well lighted all the way around,
and there was a peculiar fascination
in watching the horses race down the
stretch at night with the band play
ing, etc.

south Atlantic League STANDING.

In a smuggling match yesterday after
noon Grim's Skycrapers, as he has
dubbed his dozen ball players, won
from the Pathfnders by the score OF
to in a ten inning game well sea
soned with errors as we'll as numerous
base hits.
Savannah lost the game in the early
stages, won it again, and then lost II
in the tenth when with two strikes on
Shea. and two men out. the Columbia
backstop tore off a clean single. He
and Engel both scored after that.
At no stage was the game lacking in
excitement. There was plenty of that
kind OF ball playing that keeps the
spectator in an expectant frame of
mind all the while.
Savannah started the run getting in
the first inning. Kennedy faced the
Columbia southpaw and famed. Wag-
ner hit safe TO right field and scored
on Mullaney's two-bag drive to center
field. after Burt had popped out to
short. The visitors could not score in
their half
In the second Bratton took his base
on balls. was advanced on Oyler's sac
rifice and scored on Holmes single
to center field. 1t was in their half
of the third that the visitors hung the
horseshoe over the door. Reardon sim
gled past third base. Kuhn got hit,
and with these two on bases Miller
popped one over the short left field
fence and all three scored Wilson
was safe on Oyler's error, stole sec
ond and was advanced to third, scor-
ing on an attempt TO catch him play
ing off third.
Shea started the fire works again in
the fourth by sending another one
over the left field fence. Heisman sin
gled to left field, scoring on Miller's
two bag drive to center field. All this
while the locals were unable to get a
man round to the plate.
Ittig was substituted in the box for
the locaSs in the fifth and Engel for
The visitors in the first half of the sew
enth. Ittig started the ball rolling in
the sixth with a clean single TO right
field He went to third on Kennedy's
single. Kennedy was caught at second,
and Wagner was thrown out at first.
Ittig scored on Mullaney's two Dagger.
Mullaney scored on Rays single to CEN
ter. Bratton walked and Oyler sin
gled, both scoring on Holmes drive to
right field. Holmes was caught going
TO second. Reardon's error, and a sin
gle each by Oyler and Burt netted an
other in the seventh. which ended the
run getting for the locals, and also tied
the score.
In their half of the tenth with two
men out. Columbia scored twice, while
the Pathhnders were unable TO bring
a man across the pan.
Games like that of yesterday are not
exactly what the people want, but they
are certainly better tests of the real
playing ability OF the men. Both sides
hit freely and hard. Jutzi. who has
been in the hospital for nearly three
weeks, was put in the box and ham,
mered all over the lot. He had good
speed. but did not seem TO be able to
find the Columbian's weak spots. Ittig
pitched steadily and with good effect
after he was substituted. and with a
little sharper fielding would have had
several hits cut off. and would have
won the game.
The line up to-day will be the same
with the exception of the pitchers. Saw
idge will be shown by the locals and
probably Engel for the visitors. The
