as the bashful girl. When he finds
that life is somewhat of burden to
him on account of his general awk-
wardness and his ability to say and
do the wrong thing at the wrong time.
he crawls into his shell, as it were, and
takes refuge in silence. His move
ments are abrupt, his voice harsh and
his conversation short and sharp. To
be sure, he Is rather forbidding sort
of creature, for only those who know
him well understand that this gruff-
ness is merely a bluff put up to hide
shyness that he is positively ashamed
and afraid of.
But this self-same abrupt mannerism
that covers such a multitude of sins
has, unfortunately, been denied the
timid girl. These days there are too
many jolly comrades, always amiable
and ready for fun, to make it an OBJ
ject to put up with the girl who is
snappy. surly and cross, and even the
one who is distressingly quiet comes in
for her share of playing the animated
wall-fiower.
And really, after all, it is only what
one might expect. People rescue a
pretty girl once, twice, or maybe, three
times. but if she PERSISTS in losing her
self in the dark shadows and taking
no part in the gayety, she will soon
discover to her sorrow tnat she may
remain there just as long as she
pleases, and entirely forgotten and ne
elected in the bargain.
Each and every one should be pos
sessed with certain amount of self
assertion This does not necessarily
mean that one should push ones self
forward on every possible occasion, but
there are times when an act Of
thoughtfulness win suddenly place one
easily and gracefully within the
charmed circle. Once there, il II easy

Really, truly, bashfulness does not
mean diffidence, quietness or even shy
ness, but that all-enveloping some
thing that settles down like a gentle
cloud and bereaves one of every power
save that of blushing frantically and
furiously time and time again.
Perhaps this affiction is helped on
its way not a little by the delightful
ly frank fashion which so-called polite
society has of scrutinizing everybody
and everything that chances its way.
Many times If lorgnettes were leveled
the effect could not be more startling
nor more tnsolent, and it takes a wom-
an possessed with goodly share of.
worldly wisdom to present that l.
don't-know-you're-looking expression
and go serenely and evenly upon her
way.
Just why people imagine they are
entitled to stare at others as though
they were little short of curiosities is
quite beyond me. Yet every day-in
fact If one will but take the trouble
to notice in every car-there is that
close, neighborly scrutiny which
makes one fairly bristle with indigna-
tion. Not so very long ago I chanced
to meet a girl of sixteen or there
about, flying along the street with
flaming cheeks and angry, suspicious
eyes.
Where are you going in such tre-
mendous rush?" / asked her, as she
swept along. Home. where people
don't think I'm a walking advertise

in Quivering voice. I'm so embar-
rassed can't see straight
And the cause OF her woes was moth
ing more or less than few gold bands.
In other words, she was having her
teeth Strengthened and was being tor
tured both mentally and physically by
the protruding glitter that refused to
permit her TO close her mouth in
peace.
Doubtlessly it never occurred TO those
who glanced at her so curiously that
they were committing a breach OF eti-
Quette and It was very evident by her

highest. Spring chickens are plentiful
at . cents a pound, live weight and
old chickens at 5 cents.
The hay market is quiet and at the
present little is being offered or sought.
Alfalfa is not going above $3.50, and the
dealers are getting rid of some of the
surplus on hand caused by the scarcity
of cars. Other kinds of hay seem in
better demand. and are bringing fully
as good Il price.
The produce market shows very little
| improvement. Potatoe, remain at the
same old figure -Sl4.50 to So a ton
and they are apt to stay right there a.

The general belief among dealers is that
the conditions will improve and the

ANOTHER TICKET TALKED OF.
Meeting Will Be Held Tonight to Name
Men for Part of the Offices.

As was predicted att he convention
last night, there We're some of the del
egates and also some others in the var
ious wards who were dissatisfied with
the nominations. in part at least. and
these have decided to call a meeting for
this evening to place another ticket in
nomination. 1t is to be held in the city
hall at S o'clock. 1t is very doubtful
if an attempt is made or a desire
shown to place a whole ticket in the
field in opposition to the iCtizens' tick
ct named last evening, and some say
that only the candidates for the offices
of mayor and city attorney will be con
sidered, and that all the others nomi-
mated last evening will be endorsed by
the meeting held this evening
The main work of getting up a meet
ing for this evening was done by Earl
Barnes and other friends of Lee c.
Dele. together with the strong parti-
IAN friends of Mayor Fechter. who will
not accept his declination of the office
as final. 1t is not positively known
that the convention or mass meeting
will insist upon nominating him, but
that seems to be the desire of a good
many. Those who favor the mass meet
ing and another ticket say that if Mr..
eFchter cannot be prevailed upon to al
low his name to come before the meet
ing, they will nominate some one else
1t is claimed that Lee c. Dele will be
the nominee for city attorney.

Origin of Basket Ball.
ustrated Sporting News.

From the Illustrated Sporting News.
Basket ball as recreative game is unique
in its origin. for two reasons: Firstly 1t is
our one. positively sure. home American
production; secondly. the name. date and
place of its authorship Is exactly known.
OF no other game in all the category can
this be said: the birth of the bulk of them
is buried in an obscurity which reaches be-
yond the cuniform- baked-clay tab
lets OF Babylon. and the heroglyphics of
the remotest Egyptian records.
Basket ball. on the other hand. was bonn
in the year 1901. at Springfield. Mass AMI
it's author was James Naismith. The story
Is short enough to be interesting. In that
town is a training school connected with
the Young Mems Christian Association, and
of course, professors, among them pro-
lessor of psychology who is paid to teach
the young ideas how to think, effectively.
In one of his lectures he called attention to
certain conditions upon which the brain
could with advantage be exercised, and
challenged his class to supply the require
ments to meet them. The conditions were
the invention of a new game which could
be played indoors in a limited area, by a
defined and unalterabie number of confess
tants, and adaptable to both sexes. Upon
this hypothesis one of his pupils, James
Naismith. the same night evolved basket
ball. 1t was put into practice the next
day experimentaIly. and found to meet the
conditions and limitat ions laid down by the
professor admirably. But 1t had more than
academic value. as its rapid spread as
one of our most appreciated pastimes attest.

The Joplin Zinc District.


The Joplin district follows a unique leas-
ing system of operating that radically diff
ferS from the usual American mining prac-
tice. The owner of the mining land rarely
operates the mine but leases 1t on royalty
for usually ten years, in tracts of ten acres
or mort. The lessee does the prospecting.
eouips the mine, and is practically the
Ow ner of the property as long as he desires
to operate it, as the original lessee always
has the first privilege in renewing on the
expiration of his lease The lessee very
frequently subleases portions of his tract.
especially IL 1t exceeds twenty acres, and
u ually in the form of square lots that are
about an acre in area. The royalty paid
to the land owner by the first lessee Is
usually ten per cent of the gross sales of
ORE and sublessees usually pay twenty per
cent, half of which goes to the first lessee.
All improvements that can be removed, as
the lessee and are removed by him on the
expiration of his lease OF IL he discontinues
work. The royalties are paid every Satur-
day, when all settlements are made for
sales of ore, labor. ETC., on cash basis
Sometimes the land owner does the pump
ing. when the royalties are higher. or
twenty-five per cent for zinc and thirty-fiye
per cent for lead.
This leasing and subleasing system has
resulted in an enormous number of Ope-
capital of less than 500: for shallow shaft
can be put down and made to produce with
hand Jig in less than three months, SO
that an ambitious miner with very limited
means can suitcase one or more lots and
become mine operator. Even the larger
operating companies seldom attempt to
work more than ten acres, or have larger
plant investment than SIS. coo, and as ore
sales are settled weekly. 1t requires only
modest working capital to operate.
