and the unfinished sermon was pushed
one side. He sat tilted back in his
chair, staring out at the jonquils in the
Parish House gardens. For some time
he sat thus, his brows puckered in a
thoughtful frown. Then he rose, and
carefully placing the leaves of the SER
mon under weight, he drew on his
gloves and donned his hat. He ran
lightly down the steps of the Parish
House and strobe briskly downtown.
It was a trifle after three when the
rector returned to the Parish House.
AS he entered the study, he saw Philip
Gardner waiting in the easy chair. The
rector gave him a friendly "helloi' and

an air of resignation.
The rector rose from the chair with
no word of explanation and began to
clear the room. He locked the two
doors of the study and slipped the
keys in his pocket; he closed the lead

into the corners of the room. Gardner

The following method of get
ting rid of stumps is recommend
ed by the Scientific American; In
the autumn bore a hole one or two
inches in diameter, according to
1.-The girth OF the stump, vertically
in the center, and about eighteen
inches deep, Put into it one or
two ounces of salt peter, fill the
hole with water and plug up close.
In the spring take out the plug
and pour in about half a gallon of
kerosene oil and ignite it. The
stump will shoulder away without
blazing to the very extremeties of
the roots, leaving nothing but
ashes.

ONLY A MISTAKE.
Supposedly Stolen Baggage Carried
of Through BIunder.

VII sITOU9u 0IOUOSVs
For a short time yesterday morning
there were a lot of excited and wor-
ried passengers at the Northern Pa
cifc station. A valuable assortment
of personal baggage had disappeared
and visions of thieves were plentiful.
The upshot was that the sheriff's Office
was notified and Under Sheriff Sayles
undertook the job of finding the miss
ing y~alises, parcels and bundles, and
also, if possible, arrest the purloiners.
thereof.
The owners of the baggage were
going east on No. 2 and said they had
temporarily left their belongings on
the platform and that although they
had been absent only a few minutes
when they returned they found it
fgone.
1t happened that No. 6, the Burling-
ton train, was also in the yards, wait
ing to leave. To accommodate the
other train it pulled toward the round
house and stood on a sidetrack. To
this the officer went, though assured
by the porter of the other train that it
was useless, as he had made search
of the Burlington cars and was salts
! fed the missing things e not taken
there by mistake. In the first car
Mr.. Sayles entered he saw the valises
and parcels and opposite to them was
a Japanese asleep. He awoke the
Jap and asked him if he owned them.
To this the man replied by pointing
to S. G. Reynolds, agent of the Crow
Indians, and added that he was the
owner, and that he was working for
the major and had carried his baggage
aboard the train for him. An expla-
nation followed. Mr.. Reynolds had
only a few minutes before employed
the Jap and had instructed him to
carry his personal belongings onto
the cars, at the same time pointing to
a valise he had. 1t happened that the
others had been placed near them and
the Japanese thinking they belonged
to his employer, took them along
Mr.. Reynolds observed him, but
thought the extra plumber was the
property of his new servant and said
nothing to him. :
Meanwhile No. 2 had left and it be
came necessary to forward the recov
cred baggage by express to it's owners

"swEEr CLOVER"
eal1y Excellent Play Presented t.
Painfully Small Audience.

Last night the th~eatre-goers OF the
city gave proof once more OF the dis
criminative powers for which they
have become noted, powers that impel
them to withhold patronage from rea.-
ly m~eritorious and excellent produc-
tons and bestow it upon those that
only through the good nature OF a
patient public are enabled to exist.
The array of empty seats that greet
ed the members of the "Sweet Clover"
company would have struck a chill to
the hearts of less able and %conscien-
tious players.
Sweet Clover is a wholesome
play and tells a story that is beautiful
and touching. 1t deals with no prob
lem" but is a tale of womanly truth
and sincerity and old fashioned fam
! lily devotion, sweet with tender little
touches and homely sentiments. OF
course, there is a villain in it, but he
is of a type different than the one
usually made a character in plays OF
that kind and the audience forgives
him because of his great love that
caused him to forget honor and man
hood.
Unfortunately the management:
failed to supply programmes, conse
quently it is impossible to write an
extended criticism of the different
persons who appeared in the cast
They were all good, however, some
exceptionally so, and pity it is tina
more did not avail themselves of the
opportunity to see n of the bes
plays seen here in a long time, TO
Sweet Clover is a good play, cap
ably acted by Otis Thayer and hi
support, a play that leaves only pleas
ant memories in the minds of thos'
seeing it.

NO MONROE MONEY HERE.
Local Sports Not Losers on Account Of
Alleged Fight.

No matter how their sympathies
may have been, the local sports are
not any losers because of the spectac-
ular defeat Monroe sustained at the
hands of Jeffries. They did not per-
nit sympathy to sway their judgment,
consequently they r not mourning
the loss of any money. The way the
so-called fight terminated was no sur.
prise to them, although they were
disappointed in Monroe. While they
had no idea that he would prove the
other big slugger's master, they did
look for him to be able to put off what
they were satisfied would inevitably
follow, for a reasonable number of
rounds. Ten was the limit any OF
them were willing to give him, but
no more. Some were less confident
of the miners ability to withstand
punishment, and five or six rounds
was the most they gave him before
he should be sent into dreamland.
None, however, thought the end would
come so soon, and only in this respect
were they disappointed.
The talk of Monroe's manager tina,
his man is fit to face any of the other
heavyweights, is laughed at here and
should he be matched with any OF
them their money will go on the Other
fellow. But little interest was man
ifested in the fight, as it was taken
for granted that there would be only
one man In it.

money. In this they were ~disappoint-
ed, sadly so.
No matter how good a rider he may
be in a race where he contests persona
propre, the jockey proved to he a
mighty poor stick when it came to
managing skirts and changing at the
same time. He was almost distanced
by Mrs. Richardson, who rode the
mile-and-a-half in 3:11. In addition
to losing the race, the young lady"
also lost generous portions OF "her
wearing apparel, as we'll as causing a
feeling of horror to overcome the
spectators by the sudden loss of scalp,
for the wig would not stay in place.
Two Records Lowered.
Besides lowering the track records,
the meeting also caused two worlds
records to be established: One by
| College Maid, the ".guideless wonder"
who paced a mile in 2:O9 20, the other
by the winner of Saturdays Indian
relay race. In the first heat of this
event the two miles we're covered in
4:O4, which is said to be the fastest
time recorded anywhere for a like
race.
Friday Was Good.
The big event of Fridays card was
the free-for-all pace. In order to
prevent the track from being chopped
up by the runners the judges did not
sandwich in the usual running races
between heats, causing a delay that
tried the patience of the grandstand
to the straining point. Had it's oc.
cupants understood the situation they
probably would have grumbled less
and tempers would not have been
worn as badly as some were.
In this race more track records were
demolished and the horses that do bet.

Six horses were entered, Eta ", In
ferna, Feleta, Daniel j., Modicum and
Jennie Mac. Only five started, Jennie
Mac having been drawn. The race
was three out of five heats, and il
took five heats to decide.
